Xiao Qian hadnât seen the patientâs information and name yet when a call came in on the mobile phone next to her. The caller ID showed it was Yu Minglang, so thatâs why she called out Xiao Qiang, not because the medical record mentioned Xiao Qiang.
âQian Bao, what are you doing?â His voice was a bit tired.
âI just came back from the teacherâs place.â
âTeacher?â
âItâs Uncle Liuâs ex-wife. Xiao Qiang, your voice sounds tired.â
Yu Minglang chuckled, âIâm not tired when I listen to you.â
In fact, he had just completed a grueling negotiation, stayed up for three days and two nights, and finally had some free time to think of Xiao Qian.
âSilly, rest if youâre tired. Call me again after you wake up.â She could probably guess that Yu Minglang hadnât slept for a long time. The thought of him calling her in such exhaustion made her feel heartache.
âAlright, Iâm going to sleepâ On the 15th of next month, do you have class between 3-5 pm in the afternoon?â
âIs something up?â Xiao Qian asked.
âYeah, I need to go to your place for a business talk. We will have an hour to meet if you are available.â
âIâm available.â Xiao Qian closed her class schedule, ignoring the classes written on it. She would see Xiao Qiang no matter the circumstances, overcoming any difficulties!
âIâll call you when I arrive. Qian Bao, I miss you.â His voice was like warm sunshine, gently enveloping her ears and heart through the phone.
âI know.â Xiao Qian wanted to hang up, but remembered his previous complaints about her not being proactive. The image of his upset face deeply etched into Xiao Qianâs heart, so she added another sentence.
âI miss you too.â
When Yu Minglang hung up, he thought he had heard wrong. It took him a while to react that his Qian Bao had really changed, and she had become more womanly.
âHeheâ¦â Yu Minglang stood by the phone with a big smile, savoring the moment.
âSilly, Iâm hanging up now!â she heard his teasing and chided.
âWaitâXiao Mei, can you please give me a kiss?â Yu Minglang was clearly pushing his luck. Xiao Qian had always been aloof, and he felt she was a bit passive. Now that she had responded to him, he couldnât help but want more.
âNo.â Xiao Qian was ready to hang up, as she wasnât the type to cling to a man.
However, she heard noises from Yu Minglangâs side.
âYoung Boss, you got rejected again, didnât you? Hahaha!â
âXiao Qiang, put the phone on speaker.â
Yu Minglang didnât know what she was going to do, but he would do anything she said. Qiao Zhen and other secretaries were around him, all giving him teasing looks, unanimously thinking, so the devilish Young Boss has a weak side too!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
There were rumors that the Young Bossâs fiancée was aloof, and it seemed the rumors were true.
Yu Minglang reluctantly put the phone on speaker mode. If he had known earlier, he wouldnât have made the call with these people aroundâ¦
âI canât kiss because I donât want to spoil you. Itâd be a waste to give the phone your benefit. When you come, we can kiss however we want. As for the guys around, sorry for embarrassing myself in front of you. Goodbye.â
Xiao Qian hung up after saying that.
Yu Minglangâs mood instantly soared, looking at the colleagues around him who were blushing and giving him envious and jealous looks. He smugly patted their shoulders.
âDid you hear that? My Xiao Mei is being considerate of me, not rejecting me like you said!â When Yu Minglang was showing off, his inner thoughts were: why didnât I pull everyone from the company to listen to how cute my Xiao Mei is!
ââ¦How did you manage to fool Sister-in-law?â Qiao Zhen asked in disbelief. A man with a devilish personality like the Young Boss could also have such a good woman, it was so infuriating!
âWhat do you mean by fooling? Sister-in-law and I fell in love at first sight! When I first saw her, I knew she had to be my daughter-in-law. You guys with low wit and shallow knowledge canât understand this type of love at first sight!â
Yu Minglang completely ignored his previous nervousness and distress, basking in the sunshine and encouraging resentment.
Feeling the fatigue from work instantly gone, his energy miraculously replenished, and he looked forward to the brief meeting that was a month away.
After hanging up, Xiao Qian thought of the impact she might have had on the simple little brothers on the other end of the phone, and her mood improved a lot.
Today, due to the teacherâs matter, her mood hadnât been good. But after talking to Xiao Qiang for a while, her mood was much better. It seems that being in love doesnât only make oneâs IQ drop, but also has positive effects.
Xiao Qian carefully read the files given by the teacher. Her task was to handle a man named Chu Xuan. The information written mentioned that he is a civil servant, 28 years old, married, and has mild manic disorder in the spring. When the condition strikes, he becomes emotionally excited. To Xiao Qianâs judgment, slight medication combined with her therapy could cure it quickly.
It was just a very ordinary psychological consultation, with low difficulty. Xiao Qian looked through the information again, feeling puzzled.
Did the teacher deliberately find this person for her to lessen the difficulty? Although the teacher was not as money-minded as Xiao Qian, the cases she took were either highly representative or very serious, or in the worst case, related to the teacher, like how Yu Minglangâs mother had sought help from the teacher for Panpanâs treatment.
In other words, the cases the teacher dealt with must be complex or with complex backgrounds, so where did this ordinary case come from?
Xiao Qian didnât realize then that this seemingly ordinary case actually concealed a deep origin behind it. That would be a story for later. At this moment, she believed the teacher had intentionally lowered the difficulty and didnât want to force her to do something difficult. So, after studying the medical record and writing a treatment plan, she called the patient using the contact information provided.
Unexpectedly, a woman answered the phone.
âHello, Iâm the psychologist recommended by Professor Liu. May I speak to Mr. Chu Xuan?â
âAh, youâre the one recommended by godmother? Heâs out running. Doctor, will my husbandâs condition be serious? Heâs been emotionally excited every day recently, talking non-stop when he gets excited, and often exercising until midnight.â
The womanâs voice was gentle, and there was undeniable concern. She sounded like a kind and virtuous wife.
âIâll have to meet him before I know. But based on my experience, it shouldnât be a big problem.â When Xiao Qian heard her call Professor Liu âgodmother,â her doubts were resolved. No wonder, the teacher wouldnât have taken on such an ordinary case unless the person was a very close friend.
Since the person she wanted to find wasnât there, Xiao Qian was ready to hang up and call again later. Then she heard a manâs voice on the other end of the phone.
âMei Jing, who is it?â
This woman is called Mei Jing? Xiao Qian paused, and then dismissed her thoughts. It must be a coincidence, as the teacher would never recognize that woman as her goddaughter.
