Qin Lan had never seen Nan Chen like that before.

He sat on the chair with his eyes closed while his lips were clammed shut.

He laid there like, all cold and pale like he was one of those handsome vampires.

Qin Lan checked her watch and noted that 30 minutes had passed.

For someone like Nan Chen, every second was precious let alone 30 minutes. Yet, Nan Chen had not spoken a word since he stepped into the office.

As an old friend and a psychologist, Qin Lan knew Nan Chen quite well.

Even though Nan Chen was quiet, Qin Lan could still tell, from Nan Chen’s micro-expressions and actions, that Nan Chen was lost.

She had never seen Nan Chen being lost before. Nan Chen was a business tycoon who had never admitted or accepted defeat, and had always had everything under his control so why was he lost?

Qin Lan didn’t dare to ask him what was going on, and she wasn’t sure how to ask him either.

Whatever happened must’ve been crucial to have made Nan Chen that lost, and a psychologist like her wouldn’t be able to help him.

Qin Lan got out of her office and asked her assistant to pour her a cup of tea.

When she returned, Nan Chen’s leg finally moved as if he had come back to life.

He didn’t seem as upset as he was when he came in, almost as if he had gotten his emotions under control after meditating.

Every powerful man had the ability to control their emotions. That was why they were able to stand on their ground when things went wrong, and would not easily collapse under pressure.

Resilience… that is the mark of an emotionally strong man, and Nan Chen was undoubtedly strong.

Qin Lan sighed a breath of relief because she was finally allowed to talk. “Feeling better?” she asked.

“Yes,” murmured Nan Chen.
