My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 67

Qin Lan had never seen Nan Chen like that before.

He sat on the chair with his eyes closed while his lips were clammed shut.

He laid there like, all cold and pale like he was one of those handsome vampires.

Qin Lan checked her watch and noted that 30 minutes had passed.

For someone like Nan Chen, every second was precious let alone 30 minutes. Yet, Nan Chen had not spoken a word since he stepped into the office.

As an old friend and a psychologist, Qin Lan knew Nan Chen quite well.

Even though Nan Chen was quiet, Qin Lan could still tell, from Nan Chen’s micro-expressions and actions, that Nan Chen was lost.

She had never seen Nan Chen being lost before. Nan Chen was a business tycoon who had never admitted or accepted defeat, and had always had everything under his control so why was he lost?

Qin Lan didn’t dare to ask him what was going on, and she wasn’t sure how to ask him either.

Whatever happened must’ve been crucial to have made Nan Chen that lost, and a psychologist like her wouldn’t be able to help him.

Qin Lan got out of her office and asked her assistant to pour her a cup of tea.

When she returned, Nan Chen’s leg finally moved as if he had come back to life.

He didn’t seem as upset as he was when he came in, almost as if he had gotten his emotions under control after meditating.

Every powerful man had the ability to control their emotions. That was why they were able to stand on their ground when things went wrong, and would not easily collapse under pressure.

Resilience… that is the mark of an emotionally strong man, and Nan Chen was undoubtedly strong.

Qin Lan sighed a breath of relief because she was finally allowed to talk. “Feeling better?” she asked.

“Yes,” murmured Nan Chen.

“Is there anything else you’d like me to help you with?” asked Qin Lan.

“No,” replied Nan Chen as he stood up to leave.

“Hey, wait,” said Qin Lan who stopped the tall man in front of her.

Nan Chen turned to Qin Lan and, with his eyes, he inquired what was the matter.

“I am a psychologist. You came here to consult me, or rather, for a therapy session. If you leave like that, how am I supposed to charge you the fees?”

“Just send me the bill,” said Nan Chen.

“That’s not the point. You didn’t say a word, and I didn’t do a thing. If I accepted your money, then I’m practically a con woman,” said Qin Lan, “Come on, take a seat. Let’s talk.”

Qin Lan was curious about what was it that got this strong man so lost.

Typically, this level of sadness would only occur if a family member died or if a pair of lovers got separated, but there hadn’t been any news like that from the Nan Family so in this case, the latter must’ve happened. But that would be even weirder because this man was practically ‘asexual’ and didn’t love anyone so how could he have lost a lover?

Nan Chen sat down as instructed.

Qin Lan was one of the people he trusted and was one of the people he could talk to.

Influential and powerful individuals may look like they lead a glorious life, but the truth was, they were under a lot of pressure.

Every decision they make could build up or destroy the whole company so they are constantly stressed out.

It was possible to run away from the pressure someone else forced on you, but if the source of pressure came from your responsibility, then there was no escape. That was why Nan Chen needed therapy and why talking to a good psychologist like Qin Lan was good for Nan Chen’s mental health.

That was also why he came all the way here.
