Chapter 569: Chapter 568: 542: Old Friends and Playing Ball

“Is it confirmed? Is it really Borderline Personality Disorder?” Xiao Qian frowned.

“Yes, it’s confirmed abroad. He has a job in China and it’s not convenient for him to come here. Can you accept him as a patient? The price is negotiable.”

When Lily Tang said the price was negotiable, she meant the hourly fee would be in the thousands or tens of thousands.

Xiao Qian’s treatment fees were explained using the terminology of the antique and jade world. The “four-digit” fee ranged from 7,000 to 9,999, the “five-digit” fee ranged from 10,000 to 30,000, and the “three-digit” fee was for public welfare, meaning 100-800.

Generally, Xiao Qian liked to accept these high-paying patients, but she hesitated when she heard the name of the illness.

She might have accepted it under normal circumstances, but with Xiao Qiang visiting, she might not have time. This kind of illness is extremely difficult to treat, it takes a long time, and the results are not particularly good.

“Well, I’ll get back to you later.” Xiao Qian glanced at Yu Minglang and didn’t give a definitive answer.

“I’ll tell the other person to wait for now. Qian’er, this is the first time I’ve seen you hesitate. Is this illness very complicated?” Shuixian didn’t know much about this psychological issue, only that it was serious enough for the patient to seek treatment abroad.

“Let me put it this way, if we, as psychologists, could choose which patients to treat, nobody would want to treat this one. Borderline Personality Disorder is also known as the ‘psychological counselor’s killer.'”

“Wow, so powerful?!” Lily Tang was surprised.

Even Yu Minglang looked at Xiao Qian more intently. Killer? It sounds like something very scary.

“Yes, which is why I need to consider whether to accept it.”

“Alright, I understand. By the way, Qian’er, do you want me to bring back anything for you?”

Xiao Qian glanced at Yu Minglang’s clothes and said to Shuixian.

“Are there any autumn and winter fashion shows recently?”

“There’s a VERSACE autumn and winter show coming up. I plan to go see it.”

“As usual, send the catalog photos to my email.”

Xiao Qian hung up the phone, and Yu Minglang hugged her waist, saying, “You women, buy winter clothes in the summer and summer clothes in the winter. You can’t wear them when you buy them, so you just hang them in your wardrobe. What’s wrong with you?”

“Big brands release their collections out of season. If you want to buy new styles, you have to do it now.”

He was wearing the outfit she had picked in the spring. She had taken over Yu Minglang’s wardrobe and would pick clothes for him when she changed seasons.

“Don’t buy me any more clothes. I have enough to wear.” Yu Minglang was the kind of man who would buy several copies of the same style and wear them interchangeably.

Since getting engaged to Xiao Qian, his wardrobe has become more colorful. He didn’t have high requirements for dressing, as long as he had something to wear.

But Xiao Qian is a very delicate woman. Not only does she want to be delicate herself, but she also wants her man to be groomed and polished. When Yu Minglang said he didn’t want any, she pretended not to hear.

Anyway, she would buy it and hang it in his wardrobe, and this lazy guy would wear it.

“Xiao Mei, what did you just say about the ‘killer’?”

“Do you feel a sense of achievement eavesdropping on other people’s conversations?” Especially when eavesdropping on girls’ conversations. Mr. Vice President Yu, your face is getting thicker and thicker.

“I’m just curious. I know you need to keep your patients’ information confidential. I’m just wondering what kind of illness could make my big baby hesitate. I remember you mentioned this disease name when you were talking to Wang Yafei.”

Yu Minglang’s memory was excellent, as he could remember after hearing it once.

“It’s not that I’m hesitant or unable to treat, it’s just that this disease is different from others. It’s much more difficult and complicated to treat, so colleagues call it the ‘psychological counselor’s killer.’ You know that it’s not easy for us to become proficient in our field; it takes many years. We don’t recommend recent graduates to handle cases like this.”

“Why not?”

“Because it can crush a doctor’s dignity to none, making inexperienced psychologists doubt their abilities. Many doctors change careers because of this disease.”

“Really?”

“Yes, but don’t call it a ‘psychological counselor’s killer’ in front of my teacher. She hates such evaluations of patients.”

“I’m not like Wang Yafei who talks too much. What’s the point of gossiping? Come on, Qian Bao, let’s go inside. We need to finish eating and go home. Big Brother has important things to do!”

Xiao Qian really wanted to laugh in his face and bring out Wang Yafei to show him how shameless the man they regarded as a god was at home.

After late-night snacks, Xiao Qian drove Yu Minglang home. When passing a 24-hour supermarket, she stopped the car, and Yu Minglang immediately knew what she was going to do.

As expected, Qian Bao went straight to the fruit section, targeting watermelons…

“Xiao Mei, do you have classes tomorrow during the day?”

“No.”

“Would you like to play tennis?”

“No.” She’d rather not torture herself.

“Come on, I’ve been wanting to play tennis recently.”

He hasn’t had enough of the two balls on your body tonight? Of course, such image-damaging words were only howled in her heart.

“Why do you suddenly want to play tennis? It’s so hot. Going to the seaside is fine too.”

“Yesterday I dreamt of playing tennis with a high school classmate. Then I remembered that it’s been a while since I played. Shall we play, Xiao Mei?” He pleaded.

Xiao Qian scanned the fruit section, aiming for the last watermelon, casually chatting with him.

“Is it that high-achieving student named Xiao Yu, who, like you, had the privilege to skip classes?”

Yu Minglang had no shame in high school. Relying on his good grades, he would often skip evening self-study to play ball on the sports field. Xiao Qian had heard him mention it before, saying there used to be a classmate with similar grades, and the two would skip class to play ball together.

“Yeah, it’s Xiao Yu. It’s been so many years since I’ve seen her. I don’t know why, but last night I suddenly dreamt about high school.”

How wonderful high school days were. Yu Minglang wanted to take his Xiao Mei to find his rebellious youth again.

Xiao Qian reached for the watermelon, and another hand reached for it as well. She looked up and met the eyes of the person trying to grab the watermelon.

“Anchor Ye?”

“Meiwei?”

The woman grabbing the watermelon was wearing pajamas and slippers, looking like she lived nearby. However, her hairstyle was impeccable, her makeup was exquisite, and she was even wearing false eyelashes.

Yu Minglang originally wanted to see who dared to take his future daughter-in-law’s watermelon. But when he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar face, he was stunned for several seconds. Suddenly, his eyes widened in surprise and he pointed at the woman grabbing the watermelon.

“Ye Xiaoyu!”

The woman shifted her gaze to him and immediately showed a surprised expression.

“Yu Minglang!”
