Xiao Yi's inner room has many, many chairs of all types and materials. If you walked in at first glance, you might mistake it for a chair showroom.

"Mrs. Shen, please pick one you like and sit on if you feel comfortable," Xiao Yi said with a smile, and then introduced the special functions of several chairs.

Xiang Zhilan walked to a red beanbag chair and chose to sit down.

Xiao Yi poured a glass of water, walked up to her, and handed it to her.

"Thank you." Xiang Zhilan took it, took a sip, and then placed it on the chair next to her.

Xiao Yi glanced at her, sat down in front of her, and said with a faint smile, "Mrs. Shen, your personality is really interesting."

"How so?" Xiang Zhilan was a little puzzled. Including this sentence, she had only said three sentences to him, less than ten words in total. How did he know that she had an interesting personality?

“First of all, you chose the most eye-catching red chair in the room, which means you have an outgoing personality, are clear about your likes and dislikes, and are as vibrant and dazzling as you are,” Xiao Yi said slowly with a faint smile. “But this chair is also semi-enclosed, so when you snuggle into it, you feel like you are still in the womb, which means you lack a sense of security. And when I handed you water, you cautiously took only a sip, which shows that you have a strong sense of self-protection.”

"Is this what you call interesting?" Xiang Zhilan raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Much more interesting than Mu Zhi.” Xiao Yi shrugged.

"Are you very familiar with him?"

"We've known each other for almost ten years, haven't we?" Xiao Yi smiled, looking at Xiang Zhilan with a warm gaze, and said, "Your current lack of security and self-protection are acquired. Can you tell me why?"

Xiang Zhilan fell silent. She wasn't mentally prepared enough to tell a man she had just met about her experiences.

"It's related to Shen Muzhi, isn't it?" Xiao Yi noticed her micro-expressions; her hand had unconsciously tightened when he mentioned Muzhi.

"How much did he tell you?" Xiang Zhilan recalled the phone call Shen Muzhi made when she woke up that morning.

"He didn't say anything, only that he was bringing a beautiful woman to meet me," Xiao Yi said jokingly.

Xiang Zhilan smiled; she didn't believe Shen Muzhi would say that.

"He hurt you, you want to hate him but can't, you convince yourself to forgive him, but you also let go of the resentment in your heart, right?" Xiao Yi asked, stating his position.

"Can you read minds?" Xiang Zhilan gave a wry smile.

“I can’t read minds. You told me all of this yourself. From the moment you entered this room, every movement and every expression of yours has been talking to me.” Xiao Yi crossed his left leg over his right, placed his hands on his knees, and said with a faint smile, “You also told me that you wanted to solve this problem, but couldn’t find a breakthrough.”

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Xiang Zhilan felt very relaxed talking to him; it was as if he knew everything on her mind.

“It’s simple. Just do the same thing he did to you.” Xiao Yi looked at her seriously. “That’s in line with your nature of being clear about what you like and dislike.”

Xiang Zhilan's eyes widened. He had violated her, and now she was going to violate him back? How could she possibly do that!

“Dr. Xiao, you don’t know…” She found it hard to speak and bit her lip.

“Mrs. Shen, you’re not the kind of person who thinks women are inferior to men, are you? Why do you insist on thinking that the opposite is the opposite and you’ll be at a disadvantage?” Xiao Yi said with a very frank smile.

Xiang Zhilan was speechless for a moment, but she still couldn't figure it out.
