A water bottle appeared out of nowhere in front of Xiao Qian. She looked up to see Ming Lang standing behind her.
âHave some water, the corners of your mouth are dry.â
Xiao Qian unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and Ming Lang gently patted her shoulder.
âHeâs just having trouble adjusting. What he said wasnât aimed at you. Itâs just a great disparity that has left him emotionally vented, but heâll come to understand.â
Look at him, such a considerate boyfriend, comforting his girlfriend at once when she is upset.
Xiao Qian was initially fine, but as Ming Lang patted her, she almost choked.
She coughed twice and then elbowed him in retaliation.
âYu Xiaoqiang, are you stupid?!â
He took advantage of her drinking water to give her a comforting pat on the shoulder, which almost choked her!
âHehe, I was trying to amuse you, to ease the awkward atmosphereâ¦â
Xiao Qian chased after him to hit him, Ming Lang ran swiftly.
âLook at you, donât you feel better now? Itâs way better than your deadpan face a while ago. I was just worried about you.â
When Wang Yafei said Xiao Qian wasnât worthy of being a doctor, the look in Xiao Qianâs eyes made Ming Lang ache. He almost wanted to chase after Wang Yafei and beat him up.
But as a man, Ming Lang could particularly understand Wang Yafeiâs feelings at the moment. Anyone in his situation would be triggered, having struggled through so much only to be struck down after the ordeal.
Itâs a pity that his Xiao Mei unfoundedly got hit with the spray.
Ming Lang took advantage of the deserted surroundings to wrap Xiao Qian in his embrace, âQian Bao, donât be upset. You are the best woman and you will definitely become the best psychologist.â
âMhm, I know.â
Xiao Qian was not angry about Wang Yafeiâs accusation. When she heard that she wasnât fit to be a doctor, she was slightly stunned, thinking of her past life when her teacher pointed at her nose and told her the same.
âHow is his treatment experience going?â
Xiao Qian asked Ming Lang.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ming Lang nodded, âWhile âkidnappingâ Uncle Liu, I purposely grouped Wang Yafei with Liu Li and gave him a computer to let him have time to send out a distress email. But when he opened the computer, he fainted. Uncle Liu jumped down by himself, revealing Wang Yafeiâs vertigo. But I admire him a lot.â
âOh?â
âHe must have thought back to that incident from that year through this imagery.â
After Xiao Qian told Ming Lang roughly about the situation, Ming Lang began to investigate Wang Yafeiâs background. He had seen his resume before. At first glance, it was no problem, but upon a more detailed investigation, problems sprang up.
Based on Xiao Qianâs diagnosis, Wang Yafei likely experienced something similar to a kidnapping event in his early years. Such matters ought to be very rare, so long as they are investigated they will definitely be found. During the investigation, they indeed found a net cafe assault incident from many years ago. At that time, supervision wasnât as strict. Most likely, Wang Yafei was present at the scene.
Because he saw people fighting at the internet cafe, and blood splattered on the computer, he developed psychological trauma.
Ming Lang, on the basis of the records he had investigated, simulated a scene that was a high-degree replica of the situation at the time, stimulating Wang Yafei.
The painful expression on Wang Yafeiâs face in that instant affirmed to Ming Lang that the situational experience was effective, Wang Yafei had definitely remembered his past.
What surprised Ming Lang, was that Wang Yafei actually endured the physical discomfort, completed the journey and vomited at the side of the road only when he reached the finish line. Before Wang Yafei looked for Xiao Qian, he was getting medical treatment and had just regained consciousness when he rushed to find Xiao Qian.
If Ming Lang were to look at Wang Yafei not from his boyfriend perspective, but as a company leader, he would feel that Wang Yafei is truly excellent. This incident demonstrated his mental strength. The last part of the journey was already very challenging for ordinary people, let alone someone who had just recalled a traumatizing memory and had psychological problems.
Unfortunately, his Qian Bao was also unnecessarily caught up in the crossfire.
Ming Lang feared that Xiao Qian might have been disturbed by Wang Yafei, hence, he rushed over straight away.
Xiao Qian shook her head.
âAs for the things I do, as long as I feel it is right, it doesnât matter what others might say.â
She has a balance in her heart, and whether anyone likes it or not, she never changed her opinion. She didnât see anyoneâs approval, as long as she is at peace with her balance.
âThis makes my heart ache.â Ming Lang held her in his arms, stroking her hair.
He knew that she was a woman with an especially strong mental quality, yet he still felt sad for the issues she faced.
âI only get moved by those who understand me. Thereâs no need for me to be affected by those who donât understand me; I have lived this way all these years.â
Xiao Qian looked at him with emotion, touched his face, feeling very satisfied in her heart.
Some people live forever under other peopleâs scrutiny and their emotions are influenced by the worldâs opinions. But she lives in her own world. In that world, there are only people who care about her and those who she cares about. When facing difficulties, these are the only people who genuinely care about her. Whether others like her or not doesnât bring about any substantial impact on her life.
Only those who are mentally strong can understand this state of absolute independence and confidence.
Although she was not upset by Wang Yafeiâs accusation, she was moved by Ming Langâs tenderness.
âXiao Mei, I loveâno, wait, I canât say that.â Ming Lang really wanted to make a passionate confession to his strong yet vulnerable darling, expressing his deepening love for her.
But he had to abruptly stop mid-sentence.
Xiao Qian looked at him in confusion; why did he stop talking?
âI canât say these things in front of my staff, only when weâre alone.â Ming Lang knew that there were many eyes watching.
âPfft!â Xiao Qian burst out laughing.
Actually, Xiao Qiang could be really adorable at times.
After Wang Yafei finished with Xiao Qian, the huge hole in his heart could not be filled. Not only did it fail to alleviate the pressure of being disqualified, it made him feel even worse.
Actually, he regretted it once he had said it.
âYou shouldnât have accused Chen Xiaoqian.â Professor Liu was standing not far away, witnessing everything.
Her son and ex-husband made amends because of this special situational experience, yet her patient developed resentment for Xiao Qian because of it.
âWho are you exactly?â
Xiao Qian told Wang Yafei before that Professor Liu was a window cleaner. But for her to appear here, she was clearly not just a window cleaner.
âI am Professor Liu. Chen Xiaoqian made the decision this time with my authorization regarding your case. You can think of it like I was the one who made your diagnosis.â When Professor Liu encountered problems, her first thought was to protect Xiao Qian.
âI thought, psychologists keep their patientsâ secretsâ¦â Wang Yafei had just regained consciousness and learned that he was disqualified, filled with hatred for Chen Xiaoqian. But as he said this, his voice lacked confidence.
Where did it all go wrong in the endâ¦
