Her silence seemed to allow Gu Lichen to confirm his speculation further. "Therefore, have you really forgotten something? Does it have to do with me?"
Ling Yiran bit her lip slightly. "Mr. Gu, you have an overactive imagination. I did come here today for hypnosis, but not because of the reason you’ve mentioned. It's to treat some of my other symptoms. As you know, I was in prison for three years before, so I have some anxiety disorder or something."
His phoenix eyes were fixed on her as if to distinguish the truth from falsehood in her words. "Is that so? Anxiety disorders? Do you have them?"
She met his eyes. "How do you know I don't?"
He suddenly moved closer to her, his elegant and handsome face inching closer to her eyes. "Did you know that when you grabbed my hand at the fair that day, you said the same things as the little girl who saved me?"
"I told you. It was nonsense," she said without flinching.
"Nonsense?" he sneered, "You grabbed my hand and said you won't let go, that you're going to take me up and want me to hold your hand tight! Tell me, what nonsense does it take to speak so illogically? Also, take me up? Where are you taking me?"
His question struck her in the heart like a heavy hammer, inexplicably making her feel a tightness in her chest. It was almost as if she could not breathe.
As he approached, it made her step back until her back was against the wall.
She unconsciously raised her hand to block the space between them, but his hand pressed both her hands against the wall.
"Gu Lichen, what are you doing? Let go!" Ling Yiran struggled.
