walked to the bed and looked at Xiao Bao who was sleeping soundly. Then she took her pajamas to the bathroom.She stripped naked and stood before the mirror, staring blankly at the stranger yet familia...She even thought that Lu Hanchuan had never been cruel enough to punish Lu Susu.

Could it also be because of this mental suggestion

"Yes, Lao Liu violated the taboos of psychology," Dr. Mu nodded.

Shao Si Nian glared at him angrily, "Then why didn't you stop him"

"What can I do to stop it I'm even afraid he might give me some kind of mental suggestion," Dr. Mu rolled his eyes and said.

Fu Xiaoyao walked up to him, "Doctor Mu, can this mental suggestion be solved"

Perhaps if this is solved, Lu Hanchuan would immediately divorce Qi Ya, it's not necessarily true.

Then she could focus all her energy on dealing with Qi Ya, without having to worry about Lu Hanchuan anymore.

"Why can't you Since you came down, you can naturally get out. But the premise is that you need to find a psychiatrist with similar ability and mindset like Old Liu." Dr. Mu finished speaking and continued to twirl his pen.

Fu Xiaoyao listened to his words, pondered for two seconds, and her eyes lit up, "Dr. Tom!"

"That's right, Doctor Tom." Shao Si Nian also thought about it, "Doctor Tom is an internationally renowned psychologist, he must be able to figure it out."

But what method could they use now that Dr. Tom had arrived to convince Lu Hanchuan to accept treatment Fu Xiaoyao hesitated.

Shao Si Nian patted her shoulder, "This isn't urgent. We'll figure it out when Dr. Tom arrives. The most important thing right now is to control Lao Liu and get him to reveal how Qi Ya bribed him. I know him, he's always been careful about his work. He definitely has evidence of Qi Ya bribing him in his hands."

"Okay, I'll take care of this. I have people under me." Fu Xiaoyao said with narrowed eyes.

Shao Sian nodded. "We'll do it tomorrow, you should go back and rest now. Let's go."

"Mm." Fu Xiaoyao responded with a sound, then smiled at Dr. Mu again before following Shao Si Nian out the door.

On the car.

Fu Xiaoyao leaned against the seat, her head tilted towards the car window, her eyes fixed on the scenery outside. She remained silent, lost in thought.

Shao Si Nian was driving, stealing glances at her from the corner of his eye. Finally, he couldn't help but speak up, "Lu Hanchuan hasn't recovered his memory because he was hypnotized. And these times, even though Qi Ya caused all this trouble, affecting Lu Shi Group and himself, he didn't divorce Qi Ya. Maybe that's also because of the influence of mental suggestion."

"What are you trying to say" Fu Xiaoyao finally turned her gaze to him.

He pursed his lips, "I want to say, if Lu Hanchuan recovered his memory and the mental suggestion was lifted, and you also avenged yourself, would you still be with him"

Fu Xiaoyao let out a sneer, "Of course not, I'm no longer in love with him."

"Do you really not love him" Shao Sinian suddenly stopped the car, turned his head and looked into her eyes, as if he wanted to see through the deepest part of her heart through her eyes.

Fu Xiaoyao realized this and shifted her gaze, "Are you doubting my words"

"Yes, I am suspecting what you said." Shao Sinian loosened the steering wheel. "Xiaoyao, turn around and look at me, don't evade. Don't you truly love Lu Hanchuan anymore"

"Si Nian, what's wrong with you tonight Why did you suddenly say these things"

"I just want to know what you're really thinking," Shao Sian replied.

Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, "But this is what I truly think in my heart. I don't love Lu Hanchuan anymore, and I won't be with him."

"If that's the case, then why don't you look me in the eye and answer" Shao Sinians twisted her head around.

Fu Xiaoyao was caught off guard by his gaze, and the next second, she instinctively shifted her eyes away.

Her action made Shao Sian's heart ache, a bitterness that spread to his face. "Actually, you still love him, don't you"

Fu Xiaoyao's pupils trembled, and she retorted in a low voice, "No!"

"Are you really sure If not, why did you choose to cooperate with the Lu family after returning home And why use the method of making Lu Hanzhen fall in love with you, causing him to divorce Qi Ya" Shao Sian asked her excitedly.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyelids and said nothing.

Why

She was just unwilling to accept it.

She chose to cooperate with Lu Shi, just so that Lu Hanchuan would know that Fu Xiaoyao, who used to be useless and only knew how to depend on him for survival, could also become powerful. She could also use her identity as the head of a company to stand on the same level as him.

As for why he had to divorce her in that way...

Fu Xiaoyao clenched her hand on her bag, suppressing the thoughts she didn't want to acknowledge, nor did she want to admit.

"Okay, let's not talk about that," she said, her voice turning cold as she shifted the topic.

Shao Si Nian let out a bitter laugh and sighed, "Fine, let's not talk about Lu Hanchuan then. What about me"

"What"

"I confessed my feelings to you before and gave you time to think about it. Now, after so many days, how have you been thinking" He gripped the steering wheel, revealing his inner nervousness.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head without answering.

Shao Si Nian saw this, his eyes filled with a deep melancholy, but he didn't force her. He restarted the car.

All the way, in silence.

As she reached the apartment building, Fu Xiaoyao got out of the car and saw Shao Sian preparing to reverse. She stopped him, "Sian, wait."

Shao Si Nian was looking at her.

Fu Xiaoyao also looked at him, "I'm sorry... I can't accept your confession."

Upon hearing this, Shao Sini's expression showed no surprise or change. His eyes only held a deeper melancholy and disappointment.

"I knew it would end up like this," he said, his voice raspy.

Fu Xiaoyao opened her mouth, but she didn't make a sound.

Shao Si Nian sadly took off his glasses, covering his eyes with his hand to hide the sadness in them. "I know you don't love me, that's why you considered it for so long. I also know you would eventually refuse me, so I've always been mentally prepared. But when I truly heard your refusal, my heart still ached."

After finishing his words, he forced a nonchalant smile.

But the strained laughter was audible to everyone.

Fu Xiaoyao's heart was filled with a mixture of bitterness and guilt. She closed her eyes, her gaze full of apology, "Si Nian, I'm sorry........"

“You don’t have to apologize to me.” Shao Sian took his hand away from his eyes and put his glasses back on. “I was prepared for this kind of outcome, so you don’t need to apologize. Feelings are something that should be mutual. Since you don’t love me, you have the right to refuse me.”

"..." Fu Xiaoyao's mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't make a sound.

Shao Si Nian rubbed her hair. "Alright, that's it then. Let's just keep things the way they are between friends from now on. We won't bring up feelings again, okay"

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip, "Si Nian…"

"It's late, you should go back to rest. See you tomorrow." Shao Si Nian interrupted her words and changed the subject.

How could Fu Xiaoyao not see through his intentions.

He just wanted to use this way, to ease the awkwardness, so that she wouldn't think about it anymore, and wouldn't feel guilty anymore.

"Xiaoyao, I'm leaving first, see you later." Shao Sian waved goodbye to Fu Xiaoyao and then rolled up the car window, driving away.

As soon as his car pulled away, across the two-lane road, a black sedan followed close behind.

Fu Xiaoyao's black car, her expression a little puzzled.

There is actually someone in this car!gh..."These media outlets are really something, she guessed they would livestream it, and they really did!And I'm afraid it's probably not just this live streaming platform, there are probably others...
