Qiao man retracted her gaze from outside the French window and turned to look at Song Guo beside her. Her beautiful eyebrows could not help but raise, and her voice was warm and soft. “I’m sorry, we’ve known each other for so long, but I still don’t know what kind of work you do… ”

Song Guo blinked her eyes, and her tone was soft. “Like you, I’m a psychological counselor. ”

Qiao man had only known that Song Guo had her own career and was doing well in the United States, but she did not expect that she was also a psychological counselor. This was really out of her expectations.

The corners of Song Guo’s lips had a faint smile. After seeing Qiao Man’s slightly surprised expression, she continued to say in a soft tone, “of course, the premise is that you really intend to develop in the United States for a long time, and Ji Yunshen is really willing to let go completely. ”

“You should know that hiring a psychologist with a high degree and many years of work experience like you, the commission and all kinds of insurance are not cheap. I’m a very stingy boss, and I really don’t want to waste extra money and time. There’s still a chance. ”

“I never thought of going back, and he… really let go. ”

Qiao man crossed her fair and straight legs together and sank her slender back into the back of the chair. Her pair of eyes, which seemed to have fallen into the starry sky, instantly became pitch-black and deep, she said, “Our love is too heavy, and there are too many things that our bodies and minds have to bear. When we’re together, we feel like two hedgehogs hugging each other tightly. The deeper we love, the deeper the pain. ”

“Although we’ll feel a lot of pain when we’re apart, those festering wounds will slowly heal over time. I love him, but I’m even more afraid that I’ll love him. ”

Loving Ji Yunshen had long become a habit of hers.

Parting was just putting the distance of love far away, but her love for him had never ended.

Song Guo had only had a passionate one-sided love, and did not understand the deep love that Qiao man had mentioned.

Or to be more precise, it was not that she did not understand, but that her one-sided love that had ended so quickly that before she could understand what love was, her father had personally treated it as a gift and given it to her business partner Then, her grand unrequited love came to an abrupt end. It was all over.

Although she was glad that she was not abused by a man who was enough to be her father, she also accidentally provoked Lin Nancheng.

She had been avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally these past few years because she did not want to have any emotional involvement with him because he was purely responsible. She also did not want to marry him because of this accident.

Perhaps she lived better than the average person, so when it came to love, she was never blind.

She felt that her current situation was very good. She had a stable income and a relatively successful career. She had a beautiful, cute and sensible daughter and a few close friends. Such a life was no worse than marrying a man Therefore, she would never make do with love and marriage just because of other people’s opinions.

If that was the case, she would rather stay alone forever.

Song Guo shrugged and pretended to surrender. “I’m sorry. I’m really a rookie in love. I don’t know how to persuade you. As long as you’re happy, I think everything will be okay. ”

Qiao man reached out to tidy up the long hair that fell from her shoulders. She shook her head and smiled. “It seems that Miss Song really doesn’t know the bitterness of love. Life is long. There will be plenty of time for cultivation in the future. ”

“I think I’m different from you and Lin Yan. Without the support of love, the two of you might turn into a withered flower. But for me, as long as I have a job with a stable income and an apartment of my own, I’ll be very satisfied. As for love, it’s really too extravagant for me. I can’t afford it, and I can’t love it. ”

Song Guo was so open-minded about relationships because she had never been deeply in love before. That was why she could act so nonchalant and even laugh it off.

Qiao man was very envious, but she could not do it.

After she heard it, she continued to laugh. “Song Guo, when you really love someone deeply, you will know that pretending not to love and not caring is the most painful thing. ”

“I hope that one day I will be able to experience the feeling of deep love. ”

At this moment, Song Guo did not know that her deep love had already arrived.

…

Because of Xin Qiao’s bone marrow transplant surgery, Song Guo took a month and a half of vacation.

The first week was to recuperate and let her body conform to all the indicators for the bone marrow surgery. The next week was to prepare for the surgery with Xin Qiao, and the remaining month was to recover her body.

Qiao man moved to Song Guo’s bachelor apartment. A week after Xin Qiao received the bone marrow transplant surgery, she went to apply for a job at Song Guo’s psychological consulting company. Soon after, she accepted the company’s invitation and officially started working.

The busy work and frequent trips to the hospital allowed her to gradually adapt to her new life.

Other than the occasional time when she was free and missed him and Tian Tian, everything else was good.

A month later, Song Guo and Xin Qiao were discharged from the hospital.

Song Guo hired a nanny for Xin Qiao to take care of her at home, while she quickly returned to work.

She needed to dig out new clients to earn money, pay the employees’salaries, pay the rent of the office building, and even pay the mortgage and car loan. Even though her body had not fully recovered, she really did not have the capital to continue staying.

Qiao man had tried to persuade her to rest for a few days a few times, but song Guo gently shook her head and refused.

She knew that although Song Guo looked weak and weak on the outside, deep down she was a strong woman with a strong sense of enterprise. Even if she continued to persuade her, she would not listen, so she simply did not continue to persuade her Instead, she tried to help her dig out more new clients to earn money, to share the pressure of her repayment and paying the employees.

Unknowingly, it was already July, and it was raining endlessly in Los Angeles.

That afternoon, Qiao man was supposed to go to the client’s office for psychological counseling, but Song Guo saw that she had a cold and fever, so she told her to go back to the apartment to rest and drive herself.

Qiao man tried to stop her a few times, but she was blocked by Qiao Man on the grounds that she was the boss and had to listen to her.

She was indeed in a bad mood, so she did not try to stop Song Guo. She immediately took a taxi back to the apartment and fell into a deep sleep.

Recently, the company had been very busy. She and Song Guo often worked late into the night, and it often rained in Los Angeles these days. She accidentally fell asleep while blowing on the air conditioner, and when she woke up, she had a cold.

She thought that she could hold on, but the heavy cold made her feel light-headed, so she had no choice but to surrender.

Before she fell into a deep sleep, she thought, fortunately, Song Guo saw through her bravado. If she went to see a client with a heavy cold, she would probably mess up the list.

…

When Song Guo drove to an office building in downtown Los Angeles, she could not help but sigh at the skill and ability of the boss of this company.

She heard that the boss of this company was also Chinese. In just a little more than two months, he had created a business legend and quickly gained a foothold in Los Angeles.

The media had made many groundless reports about this man. For example, he was a retired special forces soldier and a retired military and political general.

Of course, there were also people who said that he was born into a prestigious family and was born with keen insight and judgment. That was why he was able to create a business legend in just a little more than two months.

In short, the media and people in the business circle had a lot of theories about this mysterious, invisible rich man. For this, the media even followed him, but he had never shown his face in public. He was rather mysterious.

Song Guo was thinking, if she had given him psychological counseling, would it be the first time in her life that she had come into contact with a mythical figure?

She thought, it should be.

After all, in her life, she had never met anyone who had anything to do with myths. This should be the first, and probably the last.

She parked the car steadily on the parking lot in front of the building. Holding an umbrella, she had just walked to the entrance of the building when two bodyguards walked over and questioned her very strictly about her identity.

This time, she finally understood why the media reported so much about him. Even after following him, they did not get a picture of his face. It was probably because of this strict security system.

About ten minutes later, the two bodyguards confirmed her identity. Then, she put away her umbrella and walked into the lobby of the office building.

After the receptionist confirmed her appointment, she was led by the CEO’s secretary who came down from the top floor to the CEO’s private elevator in the lobby. She and the CEO’s secretary took this elevator and went all the way to the CEO’s office on the top floor.

A minute later, the two of them walked out of the CEO’s private elevator. The CEO’s secretary walked in front, guiding them with a very professional attitude and hand gestures.

She nodded from time to time in response. When the two of them walked to the door of the CEO’s office one after the other, the CEO’s secretary said respectfully, “Miss Song, the CEO is waiting for you inside. I won’t disturb you too much. Please go ahead. ”

“okay, thank you. ”

After Song Guo watched the CEO’s secretary leave, she stretched out her fair little hand and knocked on the pear blossom wood door a few times. When she heard a deep and magnetic voice coming from inside, she slowly pushed open the pear blossom wood door and walked in.

The office was very large. She was wearing about ten centimeters of stilettos. From time to time, they would entangle with the high-class carpet on the ground. As a result, she walked very slowly and carefully.

The Tall, long-legged man sat with his back to her in the large office chair. The back of the large office chair was almost over his head, covering all information about his appearance.

She could only see the man’s strong arm that landed on the armrest of the large office chair, the unknown brand of mechanical watch on his wrist, the handmade leather shoes that were spotless on the carpet, and the neatly ironed trousers.

She slowly approached and said in her usual soft voice, “hello, Mr. Lin. I’m the psychologist who is going to give you psychological counseling today. My name is Song Guo… ”

Before Song Guo could finish her sentence, she was so frightened by the man’s sudden turn that she forgot what she was about to say. Her instinctive reaction was to run. The faster she ran, the better.

There was a carpet on the ground, and she was wearing high heels. She could not run fast at all.

It seemed that she had just run two steps when the man’s large hand grabbed her slender wrist that hung by her side and pulled her to his strong chest easily. “Song Guo, why are you running? ”

Song Guo shrank her shoulders and avoided him. “Yes, yes… I’m sorry, I think… I think I’ve gone to the wrong place. ”

Lin NANCHENG’s beautiful straight eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a faint smile appeared on his thin lips “Miss Song, allow me to remind you that we have a contract. With your service attitude, do you want to directly breach the contract and pay me three times the penalty fee? ”

He was a big client, and the price for a psychological consultation was more than twenty times that of an ordinary white-collar worker, and about ten times that of a small company’s boss. If she paid him three times the penalty fee, it would really be equivalent to not having half a year’s income.

She still had to pay the mortgage and car loan, and she had just paid Xin Qiao a large sum of surgery fees. She simply had no money to deal with him.

“Lin Nancheng, did you do it on purpose? ”

He deliberately used this method to attract their attention, but in fact, he was just waiting for her to take the bait.

Lin Nancheng lowered his head slightly, and the scorching hot breath sprayed on her face. “On purpose? Why would I do it on purpose? Or have you always known that I was looking for you, and yet you have been deliberately avoiding me? ”

Song Guo struggled. “You… You let go of me first. ”

His hand was a little strong. She shook it a few times but failed to shake it off. She was a little annoyed and raised her head to glare at him. “Mr. Lin, how am I supposed to give you psychological counseling when you’re like this? ”

Lin Nancheng raised his exquisite eyebrows and gently let go of her wrist when he heard that. After Song Guo was freed by the slender wrist in his hand, she hurriedly stretched out her other hand to rub it and muttered in a low voice, “so rude. ”

“If you don’t come, I’ll be even more rude. ”

With that, Lin Nancheng walked back to the chair and sat down lazily. “Do you want to try it? ”

Song Guo didn’t say anything. Instead, she walked over with the information in her hand and sat opposite him. “Lin Nancheng, I can sue you for false personal information and… for intentionally luring others to be deceived. ”

“then May I ask, Miss Song, which part of my information is false? ”

Song Guo put the information in her hand on the desk and deliberately suppressed her voice. “Only your English name and English… ”

“Miss Song, this is America. If I don’t write in English, do you want me to write in Chinese? ”

Song Guo was instantly speechless. She knew that she was being unreasonable, but she really didn’t want to have anything to do with him, especially because of Xin Qiao, or because of his guilt and responsibility towards her.

She didn’t need it, she really didn’t need it.

She took a deep breath and took another two seconds to slowly speak “Mr. Lin, I don’t know why you’ve been looking for me and why you’re doing all this, but I think I’ve already made it very clear to you before that I don’t need you to have any guilt towards me or any sense of responsibility towards me.

“As for… Xin Qiao, it’s not a problem for me to take care of her with my income. Moreover, I believe that Mr. Lin will find the woman he likes and we’ll be able to bear the fruit of their love and live happily ever after… ”

Lin Nancheng’s long arms were bent and placed on the armrest of the large chair. His pair of long and strong legs were crossed as he slowly interrupted her words “Miss Song, I thought that you would refuse to admit it, and I also thought that you would be able to keep your cool. ”

“Mr. Lin, if I have offended you in any way, I apologize to you now. I hope you can forgive me… ”

Song Guo was interrupted by Lin Nancheng “Miss Song, did you misunderstand something? I asked you to come here today just to do psychological counseling. As for personal matters, I will never mix them with work. ”

In other words, he would separate business from personal matters. was She thinking too much?

Song Guo could not figure out Lin Nancheng’s emotions at all, let alone his thoughts. Hearing his words, she was even more uncertain.

However, no matter how uncertain she was, the professionalism she had cultivated over the years made her not continue to struggle. Instead, she put on a very professional posture and prepared to give him psychological counseling. Before she could speak.. Lin Nancheng’s phone on the table vibrated.

He glanced at the number on the caller ID and made an apologetic gesture to her. Then, he picked up the thin phone on the table and swiped the answer button. The next second, Ji Yunshen’s deep and magnetic voice came from the other end of the radio “Old Lin, help me send a message to Qiao Man. She said that Tian Tian’s rejection reaction after her heart transplant surgery is very big, and she may not have much time left… ”

Lin Nancheng’s brows instantly furrowed. “What’s going on? ”

Ji Yunshen did not say anything more. He only said faintly, “it’s nothing. ”

Lin Nancheng and JI yunshen had been brothers for many years. Other than the shock and shock they felt when they first heard the news, they quickly regained their calmness. They also understood why Ji Yunshen made this call.

If Tian Tian’s heart transplant was really a failure, he would definitely not spread any news through him. Instead, he would contact Qiao man directly.

Through him, it was very likely that he was using such a method to force Qiao man to return to the country. Then, the father and daughter would join forces to trap Qiao man once again.

This was probably the reason why Qiao man was so cruel to abandon Tian Tian.

Because old JI had Tian Tian as his god-like helper, he would occasionally scare her with a heart attack. She was already afraid of their father-daughter routine. If Ji Yunshen called this time, she would immediately fly back. However, if Tian Tian was fine, the next time.. She would no longer believe in their father-daughter routine.

After all, the story of the wolf coming could only be told once or twice, and no one would believe it after three or four times.

But if this news was spread by him, the effect would be different.

At least, she had heard the news herself and chose to believe it. That was why she went back. Even if she was resentful, she couldn’t blame it on them.

After Lin Nancheng figured it out, he didn’t ask any more unnecessary questions. “okay, I got it. I’m hanging up. ”

After cutting off the cell phone communication, Lin Nancheng looked at Song Guo sitting opposite him with a deep smile “Miss Song, I have something to take care of at the last minute, so I’ll change the psychological counseling to tomorrow. Of course, in order to express my apology, I’ll personally go to your company to receive psychological counseling. I won’t let Miss Song make a second trip. ”

Song Guo could not hide her excitement when she heard that Lin Nancheng had changed his psychological counseling to tomorrow’s news “It’s alright, this is what we should do. It’s just that, Mr. Lin, there’s something I haven’t had the time to tell you. The psychological counselor who was supposed to give you psychological counseling was Qiao Man. She had a cold and fever today, so I told her to go home and rest. Tomorrow, when you go to our company, Qiao Man will… “. “…”. “…”

“change it to you. ”

“… what?”

Lin Nancheng stood up and placed his hands on the desk. He leaned over and said, “I said, change Qiao man to you. ”

“I. . . I. . . This doesn’t conform to our company’s rules. ”

“Miss Song, as far as I know, your company has promised that clients can change their counselors at any time. Why do I have a rule? Do you think I’m too easy to talk to and too easy to bully? ”

As he said that, he pulled his body back and put his slender hands together to tie the buttons of his exquisite suit. His movements were neat and elegant, like a God descending from the sky. His every move was watched by the world.

Song Guo didn’t say anything else, because she knew that a man like Lin Nancheng couldn’t be shaken off, because he had a thousand or even ten thousand ways to make her unable to shake him off, unless he left of his own accord.

“Qiao man lives with you? ”

“… what?”

Lin Nancheng walked around the office desk with his long legs and walked to her side, then looked down at her from above. “Qiao man lives with you? ”

Only then did song Guo realize what he had just said “Mr. Lin, before today, I’m sure you know all my information, including when I go to the supermarket, what time I do yoga, and what time I swim on a weekday. So, do you think it’s interesting to ask when you already know? ”

“It’s indeed not interesting. Let’s go, you drive me there. ”

Lin Nancheng’s words made Song Guo’s body stiffen for a moment. Then, she immediately stood up. “Lin Nancheng, don’t push your luck too far. ”

“I just wanted to say a few words to Qiao man. How can I push my luck? ”

Lin Nancheng was very tall. She was wearing ten-centimeter high heels. When she stood up, she had only just reached his lips. She had to raise her head slightly to see the expression on his face.

“You can wait for her to go to work tomorrow… ”

Song Guo’s refusal sounded like a spoiled child in Lin Nancheng’s ears. “Song Guo, my patience is limited. ”

After saying that, she walked towards the office door. Song Guo froze on the spot for two seconds before she turned around to follow. She wished that she could open a hole in the tall figure in front of her.

Lin Nancheng walked in front and heard the woman’s high heels tapping on the marble floor. It was obvious that she was angry.

The corners of his lips curled up. His long legs, which were taking steady steps, exuded a lazy aura.

The two of them walked side by side into the CEO’s private elevator and then walked out together. When they passed through the lobby, they attracted the attention of almost everyone on the first floor.

Song Guo lowered her head. She was not used to the attention of so many people.

Lin Nancheng saw it and said softly, “you have to get used to this kind of attention when you are with me. ”

Song Guo pretended that she did not understand what he said. She did not respond, nor did she have any reaction. It was not until they got into Song Guo’s red mercedes-benz that Lin Nancheng said again, “Song Guo, I want to marry you. ”

It’s not that I like you, it’s not that I love you, but… … I want to marry you …
