Chapter 4 Have We Met Before?

The man only revealed half of his handsome side face. He had clear and cold facial contours, a pair of deep and cold phoenix-like eyes. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and his aura was imposing without anger. His expression was as cold as an iceberg.

Gu Ruoyan paused. Even though she had seen this face on the LED screen not too long ago, when she saw this enlarged version of Gu Jingxi's face, her heart could not help but tremble.

Her hand that was hanging to the side clenched into a fist. The experiences of the past five years allowed Gu Ruoyan to quickly adjust her mood. She raised a professional and gentle smile and generously stepped forward, "Hello, did you make an appointment with Doctor Alex? I am sorry that he had an accident at the last minute. Today, I will provide counseling service for you."

Hearing the voice, Li Shaojue casually raised his eyes and looked over.

The woman's face was as beautiful as a lotus flower out of water. There was no makeup on her face. The corners of her mouth curled into a faint smile. When she looked into his eyes, her watery eyes were as steady as a rock.

"Change the doctor?" The secretary saw Li Shaojue's cold gaze from the rearview mirror and thought that he was dissatisfied, so he frowned at Gu Ruoyan and asked, "Why didn't you tell me in advance? "Since that's the case, let's make an appointment next time. "

Gu Ruoyan felt relieved.

If it were for someone else, she would definitely feel that this was the other party's distrust of her.

But today –

Gu Jingxi and Gu Jingmeng, these two little kids, were still around. For so many years, Gu Ruoyan had never intended for them to meet.

"No need."

Li Shaojue said. His low and deep voice was very cold. His sharp eyes swept across the name tag on Gu Ruoyan's chest and he said in a deep voice, "Today is fine."

The car door opened. The man was tall and slender. His Italian handmade dark suit was meticulously designed. He strode with his long legs. He was so handsome that one could not help but look sideways. His face was full of indifference. He walked casually into the building.

Seeing this, Gu Ruoyan frowned and followed.

Simon's was very big. After getting on the elevator to the seventeenth floor, there was classical music in the hall. The nurse carried the materials to and from the consulting room and the front desk. The waiting people sat quietly on the sofa and read magazines.

Without seeing her two little kids, Gu Ruoyan's tense nerves relaxed a little.

She turned sideways and smiled politely. "This is my consulting room. Please come in."

"Yes."

Li Shaojue strode in, and Gu Ruoyan glanced at the office next door.

At this time, it seemed that she could vaguely hear the noise of children playing. Gu Ruoyan's heart finally calmed down. She locked the office door and entered the consulting room.

Li Shaojue was already sitting on the sofa, casually looking at the furnishings in the room.

"Plain water or coffee?" Gu Ruoyan asked.

"Water."

Just as he finished speaking, a white and slender hand came over. Gu Ruoyan leaned over slightly and placed a cup of warm water in front of him, "Please."

As she moved, a faint fragrance diffused.

He seemed to be quite familiar with it.

Li Shaojue's eyes darkened. He raised his deep phoenix-like eyes slightly and looked at Gu Ruoyan who was sitting opposite him.

"Mr. Li." Gu Ruoyan had already adjusted her mentality. With a professional smile on her face, she was seriously looking through the patient information sent by Alex.

The data on it was normal and there were almost no problems.

She looked up and smiled warmly, "Have you encountered any problems recently?"

Her eyes were filled with gentle and polite gazes.

Li Shaojue frowned and stared at Gu Ruoyan. "Have we... met before?"

This person revealed an indescribable sense of familiarity everywhere.

If not for the fact that he was certain that he had no impression of her, he would not have lost his composure like this.

In front of him, Gu Ruoyan stiffened.

For a moment, when she met the pair of deep eyes in front of her, Gu Ruoyan thought that she had exposed herself.

But – she couldn't leave any evidence five years ago!

Moreover, if there really was any evidence, how could Gu Moyan still sit firmly in that position?

"Mr. Li must be joking." Gu Ruoyan relaxed her heart and very well concealed the slight pause just now. She smiled and said, "I will never forget someone with such outstanding looks like you."

After saying that, Gu Ruoyan looked at her watch and interrupted this topic, "Let's get to the point earlier."

"Yes."

Li Shaojue nodded slightly. His gaze stopped on Gu Ruoyan's face, and his expression returned to its previous sharpness.

He said as he leaned back and clasped his hands loosely, "I've been suffering from insomnia lately."

In an instant, without any expression, Gu Ruoyan quietly observed all of his actions.

In a strange environment, he subconsciously looked for something to rely on and crossed his arms in front of him. These actions were all typical defensive stances.

"Maybe it was because of a different doctor?" She thought to herself.

Gu Ruoyan did not want to get to the bottom of him. She just wanted to send this person away as soon as possible.

"I've seen your situation. You made the Pittsburgh sleep quality index within a week and the self-rating anxiety scale, right?"

Gu Ruoyan glanced at the document, "It shows that it is normal. Other than that, has your living environment or status changed recently?"

"No."

Gu Ruoyan nodded.

According to usual routines, she should continue to dig this aspect, guide the patient to speak more information, and then analyze them one by one.

But right now, Gu Ruoyan only smiled faintly and said, "If that's the case, this symptom might just be due to the cognitive dissonance in your career or relationship recently, causing temporary insomnia. I'll give you a prescription first. If you haven't recovered after taking the medicine for a week, then you can contact your doctor."

She calmly grabbed the pen and wrote down a few commonly seen medicine for insomnia. She handed it over and smiled, "Then today's therapy will end here."

"Thank you." Li Shaojue took it casually and looked at the sincere smile on her beautiful face. His expression was dark and unclear.

Holding back the dark color in his eyes, Li Shaojue stood up and turned to walk out.

After watching Li Shaojue leave, Gu Ruoyan's whole body relaxed. Because her hands pinched the corner of her clothes for a long time, there was already a thin layer of sweat on her coat.

She was too nervous just now. Since the kids were in the office at present, she felt it would be fine.

Just as Gu Ruoyan breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Jingmeng suddenly screamed from the door.

"Ow!!!!"
