Chapter 4

  Cai Luo Chen didn't stay in Los Angeles for long, and on the same day he returned to the hotel, he booked a return ticket. Looking back on these days of experience, there are some things that need to be accounted for.

  In Kebie's office, Si Luo Chen sat opposite Wang Shao Ke as soon as he got off the plane, smiling and sizing up this woman without saying a word.

  "Luochen, is there something you can say directly? Don't look at me with that kind of gaze, it's really annoying." Wang Shaokuo wasn't afraid of anything else, just Luochen's expression like this, every time he had this look, nothing good would come out of it.

  Unaccountable sense of guilt.

  "You haven't done anything wrong to me, what's the hurry?" Eyes shining with light, slightly narrowed in inquiry.

  Wang Shaokuo seemed to be choked, deliberately coughed twice, and awkwardly said: "I'm such a good person, how could I do something that would wrong you?"

  He nodded slightly: "Mm, good."

  Wang Shaokai: "......"

  The woman in front of him had always been intelligent and sharp in Wang Shaokui's eyes, with a confident and bold personality.

  Have you discovered something?

  Wang Shaokuo suppressed the doubts and embarrassment in his heart, cleared his throat and said: "Luochen, if there's anything I can help you with, just say it straight out. Where have I not done well? Don't beat around the bush, okay?"

  After finishing speaking, he stood up and subconsciously lit the pipe in his hand, took a puff, and relieved the emotional fluctuations in his heart.

  Si Lu Chen took a sip of tea, his deep eyes staring at Wang Shao Ke, and said lightly: "In the US, how many people follow me every day?"

  When saying this, Wang Shaokuo had actually made mental preparations. She knew that Si Luochen was clever and sharp, and many things couldn't escape her eyes.

  She didn't expect Si Luo Chen to ask so bluntly and directly, which shocked her.

  Si Luo Chen put down the teacup, and his slender fingers lightly tapped on the tea table, saying calmly: "How is it? Am I being too direct? Alright, let's change the subject. Actually, you've had news about Qian Tong for a while now, right? Why didn't you tell me, huh?"

  Wang Shaokuo took a deep drag on his pipe and smiled calmly: "Luochen, I don't understand what you're saying."

  "Are you really that clueless?" Si Luo Chen sat up straight, looking at Wang Shao Ke with a slanted gaze: "Or are you pretending not to understand on someone's orders? I think this person... must have abilities and power far surpassing mine. Who could it be? Shao Ke, from college till now, I know your personality well, and I'm also clear about your capabilities. If I asked you to find a black person in Africa who looks almost identical, it wouldn't take three years, let alone finding someone like Qian Tong in the US."

  Wang Shaokuo had been standing there for a long time, his brow slightly furrowed: "Luochen..."

  "It's her." Si Luo Chen's eyes were deep and his tone slowed down: "It's my sister, isn't it?"

  Wang Shaokuo stood there without saying a word, never expecting today's conversation would be like this.

  "Are you wondering how I knew, right?" Si Luo Chen said lightly: "It was my sister who remembered the smell of your smoke more clearly than me. It seems that your private exchanges are not few. In the United States, although we meet many people every day, after all, I am looking for someone, and seeing the same person within three days will not be very strange?"

  "I don't know why you would listen to her and keep secrets from me. I'm not forcing you to say anything to me right now, I'll investigate it myself." After finishing speaking, he stood up preparing to leave, but was called back by Wang Shaokuo: "Luochen... sorry."

  Si Lu Chen didn't respond, Wang Shao Ke continued: "I'm sorry for what happened before. I really had reasons that couldn't be said. But... I promise you, from now on I will never hide anything from you again."

  "Alright. I'll ask another question, about the time I met Qian Tong in Los Angeles, did you report back to my sister?" The voice was very calm, with a hint of chilliness.

  "I didn't hear what you said, Chen Ze." Shaking his head: "No."

  He nodded slightly and left without saying a word.

  The room still lingered with a faint scent of Si Luo Chen's perfume.

  Wang Shaokuo thought he still understood Si Luochen quite well. However, the more time passed and the deeper their interactions went, the more he realized that he had never truly understood her.

  Every time I thought I was getting close to her world, it seemed like another door opened up, revealing a whole new landscape.

  A cold laugh.

  Everything in Los Angeles seemed to be arranged very steadily, but it was always inferior to her sharpness.

  Now that you've met Xiang Qian Tong, what do you want to do next?

  The villa of the Sui family.

  Dad and mom are busy with social events every day and rarely come back. Such a big house is only inhabited by two sisters.

  Si Luo Chen drove home, and the servant came to open the door and took Si Luo Chen's luggage down from the car.

  "Where's my sister?" with a somewhat cold tone.

  The servants all thought it was because of Second Miss's exhaustion from traveling that her tone was so flat, and responded with: "Eldest Miss is in the study."

  Again in the study.

  Si Luo Chen didn't say a word and walked directly to Si Rou Nan's study room, leaning against the door frame, calmly saying: "Sister, has my patient caused you any trouble?"

  Xie Yunan didn't close the book immediately, staring at her sister with a smile at the corner of her mouth: "It's not that there's no trouble. It's just that they're still very used to your treatment method and want me to tell some stories." Her tone was slightly helpless.

  "It's just like that, after all, everyone has a different way of doing things. Good job." A faint smile played on the corner of his mouth.

  Such a smile made Si Ruonan somewhat puzzled, because she knew that Si Luo Chen would only smile when he was brewing something, and his usual cold expression was the normal state.

  "What did you gain in America?"

  "People over there are quite enthusiastic, I knew it back then and I would have developed myself over there too."

  Si Ruo Nan stared at Si Luo Chen and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Want to go to the US to develop?"

  "Not yet confirmed, let's talk about it after Dad and Mom return from their European trip. If they agree, then... you'll be the real hardworking sister. I'll start work in two days, just send me the patient's information by email. Get some rest early, goodnight." She said with a smile, turned around and left.

  "Good night."

  She sent off Si Zuo Chen with a cold face. Closing the book, she took out her phone and dialed a number, but couldn't get the answer she wanted.

  Her eyebrows slightly furrowed. What exactly happened on your end?

  Xia Lu Chen only took a short break of two days before coming to the psychological clinic to start normal work. It's not usually busy here, after all, there aren't many people in the country who recognize mental illness. Most clients are friends of parents or relatives, and relying on them is enough to make a good living for everyone at the clinic.

  A knock at the door.

  "Come in." Today, Si Luo Chen wore a light-colored suit with a pale green shirt collar turned out. His serious expression and slender fingers grasped the mouse as he browsed through the medical records sent by Si Yao Nan on the computer.

  The person who opened the door was Assistant Guo Qian. As she entered, she closed the door behind her and turned around to say: "Dr. Cai, Mr. Wang has arrived."

  "Uh-huh, I see," he said, getting up and taking the remote control. He slid open a Japanese-style sliding door to reveal a cozy room with soft lighting and a comfortable recliner.

  Guo Qian turned around and walked out the door. Before long, a man walked in - Wang Nanrui, the son of her father's business partner.

  Because his parents were busy working abroad since he was a child, he could only be sent abroad to study on his own. In an unfamiliar environment, he developed autism and now at the age of 25, he has hardly any friends, dislikes communicating with people, and is estranged from his parents.

  After a period of treatment at Si Lu Chen's place, there was a significant improvement.

  "Dr. Si, I heard you went to the United States recently, was it fun over there?" Wang Nanrui's voice was a bit shy, but she didn't dare look directly at Si Luochen.

  "Not bad, getting used to it at your sister's place?"

  "The doctor's sister always has a cold attitude, I'm a bit afraid, unlike you who still tell me stories." Wang Nanrui scratched her head and replied.

  "Don't be afraid, my sister is an even more professional psychologist than I am. Come and lie down here, shall I tell Nannü a story today?" Smiling as she pointed to the comfortable recliner.

  Although Dr. Cui Lu Chen is a professional psychologist, her treatment style is quite different. She doesn't like to ask patients direct questions, but instead uses strange and unusual stories to understand their judgments, which not only promotes communication but also conducts corresponding treatments.

  Wang Nanrui was initially resistant when she first arrived here, but as soon as she saw Si Luochen, that feeling disappeared. The woman in front of her was not only young and beautiful, but also knowledgeable and talented, the type that all men liked. She also knew that even if she didn't have a boyfriend, and even if she wasn't sick, she still wouldn't be worthy of standing by her side.

  Being able to quietly listen to her voice and hear every story she tells is enough.

  Lying on the chaise longue, still with a shy tone but very curious, asked: "What kind of story?"
