You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 131

“You’re a psychologist and have a certain level of success in your career. You enjoy life and came to Jinyang City for a business trip. You met up with someone from Jinyang City whom you knew on a dating app and hooked up. She was the one who saw you off at the station today. However, you were not satisfied with her, which was also the reason you decided to go home ahead of schedule.” Bai Rong analyzed.

The man looked surprised, “How did you analyze all of that? Your analysis was spot on!”

“First, there’s a ring mark on your ring finger, so it hasn’t been long since your divorce. If you have children, there are bound to be some signs of stress and restlessness, but you don’t have any of those. Second, you are wearing a Patek Philippe watch on your hand. That’s an expensive watch, so you must be quite successful in your career. Third, you have a faint scent of medicine on you, but your mannerisms and way of speech suggest that you are no ordinary doctor. That, combined with the analysis you made about me, suggests that your field of practice is related to psychology.”

“Fourth, there is the smell of female cosmetics on your face, clothes and hands. That suggests that you don’t just only have a platonic relationship with the woman. Fifth, you don’t have a lot of luggage with you. I’m guessing only that briefcase belongs to you as it suits your taste. Therefore, you are on a business trip. Sixth, if someone of your status is taking the train back during such a time without using the cabin, you must be in quite a hurry and leaving ahead of schedule. Seventh, there are no signs of pressure from work or life on your face, and your pupils were dilated when you made an effort to chat me up. That suggests that you are on the hunt for casual flings, and gives me a good idea of how you carry yourself as well as your mentality.” Bai Rong ended her analysis.

Not only was the man not angry, he was shocked as he stared at Bai Rong.

“I know all those who are more famous or highly skilled in the field of psychology, including the more outstanding students within the past few years. However, I’ve never seen nor heard of you before, which is strange, as someone as beautiful as you would surely leave a strong impression.” The man was curious.

Bai Rong lowered her gaze.

She had taken psychology for a year during university and thought that she had learned enough; but as it turned out, knowing the theory alone was not enough.

She had been visiting a psychiatrist ever since she lost her child, and had also read books on psychology to learn to hypnotize and numb herself.

She had thought that her mind was sharp and clear, and that she was able to understand many things in life.

However, reality had proven that her arrogance was a result of her ignorance.

The idiom he that is fallen cannot help him that is down really did make sense.

“What’s wrong? Feel free to see me if you need any help. Also, I welcome talents like you to work at my hospital. I’ll hire you at a high price.” The man handed her a gold-plated business card.

Bai Rong took it and looked at it.

International Psychologist Mu Xiaosheng, Vice-dean of the Research Institute of Psychology, Professional Negotiator and Military Base Professor of Psychological Counseling.

The words military base hit her like a sledgehammer.

She put the business card into her handbag.

“I’ve given you my business card, shouldn’t you give me yours?” Mu Xiaosheng asked.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t have one. I’ll contact you if the need arises. Hopefully, that day will never come.” There was a hint of sadness in Bai Rong’s eyes as she let out a smile.

Mu Xiaosheng could tell that Bai Rong was on guard and stood up, “Now that we’re acquainted, have a seat. I’ll teach you a method to help you forget your past.”

“What method is that?” Bai Rong sat down curiously.

“It’s hypnosis. There are three types of hypnosis, namely self-hypnosis, forced hypnosis and pathological hypnosis. You can forget some unhappy memories through forced hypnosis and pathological hypnosis. America has invented a more advanced method that is currently in an experimental stage and requires cooperative subjects.”

“What method?”

One had to be a specialist in the field to understand technical terms like these.

“It’s also been reported online and is mainly used to treat mentally ill patients. Most of the patients have encountered trauma from their relationships. Actually, this is a self-defense mechanism in order for them to escape from the agonizing pain. Specialists believe that they could help the patient slowly recover as long as they remove that painful memory.” Mu Xiaosheng explained.

“How do you remove a person’s memory?” Bai Rong couldn’t understand.

“The principle is that the human brain is equal to a mainframe. All we have to do is find the sad memory stored in the mainframe and delete it.”

“How do you find these sad memories?” Bai Rong pressed on.

Mu Xiaosheng didn’t expect Bai Rong to be such a serious person and let out a snicker, “You are a person who makes people feel very stressed in life. Don’t be too rational, because ignorance is bliss.”

Bai Rong looked out the window and ignored Mu Xiaosheng.

He looked at Bai Rong’s beautiful face from the side, “Some of the technical aspects are not known to external parties as this technique is not developed and is still in the experimental stage. If you are interested, I am cooperating with them in conducting psychological counseling. I can let you have a look.”

Bai Rong closed her eyes as she leaned back in her seat.

Mu Xiaosheng continued to stand in silence for another three hours before clearing his throat.

Bai Rong looked at him, stood up and walked towards the bathroom, while Mu Xiaosheng awkwardly returned to his seat.

After coming out of the bathroom, Bai Rong did not return to her seat. She stood at the door of the train and admired the passing scenery outside.

She had read an article a few days ago about a sixty-year-old married woman who was cheated of more than six hundred thousand.

The guy had told her that he wanted to get a divorce to be with her but his company’s funds were frozen and he needed money to go to court with his wife.

So, this woman lent money to this guy whom she had never even met and ended up with nothing.

She had paid for her own mistakes.

Had she not gone against her morals and ignored the suffering of the wife, she would not have become the victim of her own selfishness.

Humans must know their place and ask themselves if they deserved the love of others.

If the answer was no, then it could very well be a love scam.

To Bai Rong, Gu Mingchen was such a huge temptation for her to the point where he was all she thought of.

As a result, she had forgotten her own identity, status, the disparity between them, the possibility of a relationship between them as well as all rationality.

She had betrayed her marriage and went against her own morals as she plunged herself into the rabbit hole.

As such, she had ended up the way she did today.

No one would bear the consequences for her, and she could only face it alone.

“Why are you here?” Gu Mingchen’s voice was heard.

Bai Rong turned around and saw him standing tall and confidently as usual while he stared at her with a hint of doubt and caution in his eyes.

Bai Rong smiled slightly and said calmly, “I’m going home.”

“Do you have a spot?” Gu Mingchen asked.

“Yes.” Bai Rong nodded and walked past Gu Mingchen into the carriage.

Gu Mingchen stared at her for a moment before walking forward and grabbing her by the hand.
