Qin Yue was completely stunned. Hadn't he lied to Ruan Qing'an about being his girlfriend? How did he end up as a psychologist?!
Qin Cheng was also taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Qin Yue: "You found a psychologist for Qin Xi? Why didn't you tell me about this beforehand? She already knows about your brother's situation?"
Qin Yue was completely bewildered; he didn't know the answer either!
Ruan Qing'an chuckled and said, "Uncle Qin, please rest assured. I have already learned about Young Master Qin Xi's situation. I am confident in coming here. Young Master Qin Yue has also told me about it."
When the topic turned to business, Qin Cheng's attitude became serious: "Becoming Qin Xi's psychologist is no easy feat. What makes you think you can do it? Do you know how many psychologists have come before you?"
Despite lacking qualifications and spouting nonsense, Ruan Qing'an remained completely unfazed. She smiled warmly, her leaden eyes gleaming with an air of strategic confidence: "But even so, Young Master Qin Xi's illness hasn't improved or gotten better, has it?"
"The most important thing is not how powerful it is, but whether it is suitable for Qin Xi and whether he can accept the treatment."
Ruan Qing'an paused, then said, "Uncle Qin, I just checked Qin Xi's condition. He seems to have refused all treatment. He looks quite unwell, probably still suffering from insomnia and refusing to take his medication?"
"How...how did you know..."
Qin Cheng's expression darkened.
Ruan Qing'an smiled without saying a word—in the original text, this was all foreshadowing for the female lead, but it became her stepping stone.
But Ruan Qingan's words did indeed tempt Qin Cheng.
No matter how skilled the psychologist is, Qin Xi's refusal to receive treatment is the most troublesome thing. Perhaps we should give it a try, even if it seems hopeless...
Qin Cheng thought for a moment and looked at Qin Yue: "Since it is also your good intention, why don't we let this young lady give it a try? Qin Yue, you take charge of this matter and take her upstairs to see Qin Xi first."
"Thank you for your trust, Uncle Qin."
Qin Yue hadn't even reacted to this development yet, but Ruan Qing'an had clearly gained Qin Cheng's trust. If he exposed her, he would only be asking for trouble. For the time being, he could only swallow his anger and give a forced smile in response.
Ruan Qing'an smiled, and just then, Qin Xi, who had been silent upstairs, suddenly spoke up: "A psychologist?"
His voice was slightly hoarse, as if he rarely spoke.
Qin Xi pulled down his hood, revealing a pale but handsome face. His hair was a soft chestnut color, slightly curly, and he had round, puppy-dog eyes, but there was a dark patch under his eyes, which made him look like he hadn't slept well for a long time.
He leaned his tall body slightly against the railing, his dog-like eyes crinkling into a harmless, obedient smile: "But I don't need a psychologist, pretty doctor, please go back."
"That's what the patients all say, Young Master Qin Xi."
Qin Xi's smile remained unchanged, but he looked at Ruan Qing'an with his dark eyes. Just then, a servant came out from a room next door. Upon seeing Qin Xi, the servant instinctively shrank back a step.
He glanced at it: "What are you afraid of? I'm not having an attack."
"I'm so sorry, young master..."
The maid apologized repeatedly, but her body was still trembling uncontrollably, as if she were terrified.
Or rather, the entire Qin family was afraid of him.
"Okay, okay, then I'll go back. Doctor, remember to go straight home too, I don't need you at all."
Qin Xi completely lost interest. He reached up and pulled up his hood, yawned lazily, turned around and went into the room, as if he had come out for some fresh air but found it was better to shut himself in.
Seeing this, Nguyen Thanh An's leaden-gray eyes darkened slightly.
When Qin Xi wasn't having an attack, he looked exceptionally normal, even like a docile large dog, with a sunny and clean-cut youthful vibe that was particularly endearing. However, the cold, oppressive feeling in his eyes seemed to be a clenched breath, as if driven by a desire for control.
And...the servants' fearful expressions.
Only after Qin Xi closed the door did Qin Cheng say, "He's very resistant. I'll have to trouble you with the rest."
Ruan Qing'an nodded slightly, politely indicating his presence, then turned and went upstairs. Qin Yue wanted to speak but couldn't find an opportunity, his face turning almost liver-colored, looking quite unpleasant.
When Ruan Qing'an arrived at Qin Xi's door, she looked down and saw the electronic lock on the door, raising an eyebrow slightly.
She knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. Ruan Qing'an then said, "Young Master Qin Xi, if I cannot make a judgment and understand your condition this time, Uncle Qin will not let me leave. Rather than dragging this out, it's better to resolve it sooner rather than later."
"It's better to be bothered by me for a while than to be bothered by me for a lifetime."
After he finished speaking, there was still silence inside the door. After a while, Ruan Qingan watched as the red light of the electronic lock on the door flashed, and then the password was automatically entered.
She squinted slightly before pushing open the door and going inside.
This place is less of a bedroom and more of a room with only a bed. The rest of the room is filled with various electronic devices, some of which even Ruan Qingan doesn't know the names of, making it quite professional.
The room was dimly lit, with the curtains drawn tightly. Only the soft light from the screen fell on Qin Xi's chin, giving it a strange and mysterious feel, as if... he had become one with the data.
Ruan Qing'an's eyes flickered slightly.
She had felt this way before, with the Supreme God…
Before Ruan Qing'an could think, Qin Xi leaned forward slightly, propped his face up with one hand, and smiled, "Doctor, I'm going to be the most difficult patient you've ever had, so—you can still leave now."
"That's not necessarily true."
Ruan Qing'an said ambiguously, pointing to the surveillance camera in the corner: "Is this the camera that Uncle Qin installed to prevent any accidents from happening to you? With this, it's inconvenient to communicate."
"So, what did the doctor want to say?"
Before Qin Xi could even ask the question, Ruan Qing'an had already placed her hands on the table, her smile deepening: "Guess?"
The current Ruan Qing'an is no longer the gentle facade she deliberately created downstairs. She is like a beautiful ghost with her painted skin torn off, swaying gracefully, yet also carrying an evil that seeps into her bones.
Is this person a psychologist?
A barely perceptible sneer rose in Qin Xi's heart, and then he pressed a key on the keyboard: "It's ready now."
"So fast?"
Ruan Qing'an was slightly taken aback, while Qin Xi remained obedient with a smile, one hand supporting her chin and the other typing on the keyboard: "Do you know why my father reads the newspaper? Because he refuses to expose his privacy to me."
"But unfortunately, the surveillance footage showed the person who delivered the newspapers, and we could find the license plate number of the bicycle he was riding. Based on the vehicle information, we could find out who this person was, his company, and the newspapers he was delivering."
Qin Xi paused, and finally stopped.
"Financial Weekly, Issue 2578, therefore the surveillance footage he can see is what I want him to see."
Qin Xi stood before me, his fingers interlaced and resting on the table.
The light from the screen gave him an eerie and mysterious air, and he revealed his slightly pointed canine teeth, lazily drawing out his voice: "Now, Doctor Sister can speak."
He was like a god sitting between 0 and 1, high above.
But Ruan Qing'an laughed, a hint of madness in her eyes. She pulled down Qin Xi's hood, instantly closing the distance between them. She murmured ambiguously, "Then let's be frank, little brother, you have to call me—liar sister."
