My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 89

Psychiatrist’s clinic.

Qin Lan looked worryingly at the man who had been sleeping on the chair for half an hour.

This is my counseling office, not a hotel. What do you think you’re doing, sleeping here like that?

For the past three days, at this hour in the afternoon, Mr. Chen would arrive on time and sleep on the chair.

He made no sounds after lying down, so Qin Lan couldn’t tell if he was asleep, and she didn’t dare to wake him either.

Because of this, Qin Lan had no choice but to cancel all her appointments. She didn’t dare let anyone near when Mr. Chen was here.

Nan Chen had done this before back then, but he’d never done this for three days in a row.

He was one of the busiest people in Flower City. His time was incredibly precious, so it was strange for him to come and sleep here for half an hour every day.

Based on her professional judgment as a psychologist, Qin Lan believes that Nan Chen was facing some big trouble.

He has a big knot in his heart that needs to be untied, but he refuses to let people peek inside his heart, so he needs an environment like a counseling center to heal.

But there was no cure. He had just come to relieve some of the agony in his heart.

Whenever he came here, his heart would hint at him that he was in a counseling office, and his problems could be solved. Such hints helped calm him down a little.

However, he wouldn’t say anything, nor would he interact with Qin Lan. So the problem was always there, unresolved.

Qin Lan got increasingly curious as to what sort of problem could’ve caused this man who was practically a huge block of ice, so much agony.

Then, Nan Chen’s leg start to move a little, and Qin Lan hurriedly handed over a glass of ice-cold water.

This was Nan Chen’s habit. He doesn’t like drinking warm beverages. It had to be either hot coffee and tea, or ice-cold water.

Nan Chen opened his eyes, took the water over and slowly drank it.

“Mr. Chen, what happened?” Qin Lan tried to communicate with him.

Nan Chen didn’t say a word.

“Is it still about that woman’s scent?” Qin Lan pressed on.

There seemed to be something complicated in Nan Chen’s eyes.

As an experienced psychologist, Qin Lan knew she had guessed it correctly.

“Recently, you’ve been coming here every afternoon to lie down for half an hour. You aren’t in love with me, are you…?”

Nan Chen almost spat out the water in his mouth before Qin Lan could finish.

This reaction made Qin Lan a little angry, Is it that impossible to fall in love with me? Am I not good-looking?

“Am I not good-looking?” Qin Lan questioned.

Nan Chen shook his head. Qin Lan was actually really pretty. Both her figure and her face looked amazing. She was definitely the most beautiful psychiatrist in Flower City.

“Then what was that reaction all about? Is it impossible for you to fall in love with me?”

Nan Chen nodded this time.

“Then who do you love?” Qin Lan seized the opportunity to attack.

Nan Chen didn’t nod, nor did he shake his head.

“You’re always like this. You go silent whenever we bring up the key points. This is a counseling office, not a hotel. If you’re just here to sleep every day instead of getting counseling, then isn’t this just a waste of resources? I’ll have you know; I charge by the hour. Even if you don’t say anything and no treatment gets done, I’ll still charge you!” Qin Lan said.

Nan Chen didn’t say anything. A mere consultation fee like this was nothing to him.

Qin Lan saw that it wasn’t working, and tried a different approach instead.

“How about this, I’ll hand you a piece of paper, and you write down five keywords on it. Write whatever bothers you. Once you’re done, I promise not to look at it. I’ll seal it in a container and let you read it again a few months later. If you refuse to say it out loud, writing it down would help somewhat. It’s the same as telling your secret to a hole in the trees, like in the movies.”

“If you keep these unspeakable secrets hidden in your heart, it will affect your mental health over time. Writing them out will help you feel much better. I know you are a strong person, but you’re still human, and humans will have weaknesses. It’s perfectly normal.”

Qin Lan was a well-known psychologist, after all. She was very good at persuading people. Nan Chen finally nodded.

Qin Lan was very excited, as she had finally broken through this block of ice.
