Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 463 - 437: A Private Conversation

Yu Minglang looked at Qian, and he could feel others’ gaze being drawn to Qian as well. While listening intently to her, he couldn’t help but get a little distracted.

His beloved Qian, when serious, was especially charismatic. Though she came as an assistant, her presence didn’t lose out to her teacher’s. Just sitting there stably, she could stand out with whatever she said, exuding confidence and expertise.

"After our discussion, we believe that it’s not necessary to exclude Wang Yafei from this evaluation. Based on my diagnosis, he most likely witnessed a traumatic event in his childhood, affecting him psychologically. He may have a long-standing stress disorder, and our treatment plan is to recreate a similar scenario through this reality show recruitment, helping him confront his deepest pain, making subsequent therapy easier."

"Situational therapy?" Qiao Zhen hadn’t heard of it before, so Mr. Liu explained what it was.

During the explanation, Yu Minglang raised an eyebrow and looked at Qian, who blinked back at him.

Yes, that’s right, it’s a copy of your idea~

Yu Minglang had used this method to address Liu Li’s emotional issues, and Qian added a more professional touch, but all the inspiration came from Minglang, an idea approved by Mr. Liu.

After Mr. Liu finished explaining, Qiao Zhen nodded, "You’re the experts, so we’ll go with what you said. I’ve heard of Mr. Liu’s reputation before, truly well-deserved."

Mr. Liu was rather famous in this city, with a knack for addressing difficult psychological issues.

"This time, I’m merely a supporting role. The one who made the diagnosis is this young one beside me." Mr. Liu looked at Qian with satisfaction, and Qian nodded confidently to the crowd.

"Her?" Surprised, they looked at Qian. Did this young boss’s lady have such unique skills?

"Yes, this is Chen Xiaoqian."

"How old is she?" One regional manager, who hadn’t spoken all along, seized the opportunity to ask.

Knowing a bit about the profession of a psychologist, realizing that the educational requirements are even stricter than those for conventional doctors, usually requiring a master’s degree or higher to independently diagnose patients, he found Qian appeared very young.

"19 years old, and in 5 months and 8 days, she’ll be 20." Yu Minglang said, looking at Qian with filled affection, proudly introducing her.

Qian gave him a gentle smile; he remembered it so clearly.

The regional manager exclaimed, "So young! Indeed, the new generation surpasses the old. To accompany Mr. Liu, she must be exceptional—wait, how does the little boss know so well?"

Yu Minglang offered a mysterious and proud smile. She’s his woman; how could he not know?

"This Mr. Chen is our little boss’s—" Qiao Zhen tried to officially introduce Qian, but Qian playfully continued.

"We’re car mates, nearly sat in the same car once."

Others couldn’t understand, but Yu Minglang grasped it instantly. His originally serious face turned a little red at Qian’s teasing.

Qian dear, you naughty!

Qian blinked, yeah, just being naughty.

Teasing a serious man in front of so many people was a great achievement. Usually, there wasn’t this opportunity, so when one came, not teasing serious Xiaoqiang would be such a regret.

Yu Minglang felt very surprised and indescribably emotional at Qian’s words, only able to helplessly gaze at her. You little rascal, wait until next time you’re "driving," and I’ll definitely... do that!

Others couldn’t comprehend this romantic flair only understood between couples. Mr. Liu and Qiao Zhen thought Qian didn’t want others to know she had a relationship with Yu Minglang, while the manager suddenly realized.

"Oh, so you’re car buddies, have you ridden the same car?"

The more questions, the more awkward it got, but Qian always remained calm, and Yu Minglang, thick-skinned, left them smiling without speaking, giving the impression of being mere acquaintances.

Yu Minglang was only teased out of composure for a few seconds by Qian, but he quickly adjusted to her rhythm.

"Yes, we almost went together to see the maple forest."

"Oh, right, the maple forest in this mountain is beautiful. When autumn comes, I’ll host Mr. Chen and Miss Doctor for a proper tour." The regional manager said enthusiastically. Not only did he appreciate Qian but developed a fondness too.

"No need, this can’t be done with three people." Yu Minglang spoke, feeling Qian silently kicked him under the table.

Your face!

Yu Minglang squinted at her, it was she who started this, he was just following suit!

Qiao Zhen maintained a calm face but internally ridiculed, this life couldn’t go on. They’ve come here to flaunt their love, luckily he had Xiaoyu, otherwise, the little boss and his fierce woman would kill him with envy!

Qian then briefly introduced to everyone the specific plans she and Mr. Liu had, where they needed their cooperation. When she finished, she spoke to Yu Minglang.

"As a doctor, I have a personal request I want to discuss with Mr. Yu and Mrs. Qiao. Is it convenient for you to give me a few minutes?"

"Sure."

The regional manager observed the situation and wisely left, with Mr. Liu following suit.

Qiao Zhen sat steadily, arms crossed, waiting for Qian to speak. He felt Yu Minglang’s deep gaze directed his way, but couldn’t understand why.

This third wheel... Yu Minglang thought Qiao Zhen’s IQ must have flowed out with last night’s fluids, how could he not understand?

"Hawkeye, go inspect the test venue preparation." He called out the code when it came to business, not a name.

"No need for inspection, I’ve looked three times." Today Qiao Zhen seemed off, he hadn’t caught on yet.

"Look once more. If you can’t finish, don’t come back." Yu Minglang felt the urge to punch him.

Qiao Zhen finally caught on, slapped his forehead. "Look at my brain, I’m out. You two lovebirds can do as you wish, but remember, our command post is drafty, little boss, take care not to overdo it and freeze Qian."

I can’t say more, or Yu Minglang will truly beat him.

Qiao Zhen bolted, and Qian was left speechless.

"I’m serious about discussing business, why did you send him away?"

Originally there was nothing, but his actions made it seem ambiguous. She genuinely wanted to discuss something serious with Yu Minglang as a doctor.

"Whatever it is, tell me, I’ll relay it to him the same." Yu Minglang’s tone was formal, but the look in his eyes was different from before.

Previously, he wore the hat of a company manager, but now it’s a man looking at a woman—a man who’s failed at many attempts to enjoy a ’meat-eating’ date looking at a woman!

Qian felt her heart skip a beat under his gaze, knowing this bad guy intentionally exuded charm to avenge her unguarded ’driving’ earlier.

"I want to discuss with you about the post-evaluation matters of Wang Yafei. This is a personal request from a psychologist to a company’s CEO..."
