Chapter 105: Pregnant Women Cannot Undergo Hypnosis

~7 min read 1,315 words

Doctor Zhou, full name Zhou Wen Ting, is a famous hypnotist in Haishi.

She has her own clinic and also works part-time in a special department.

They both belong to the medical field, so Qin Mu Feng naturally knows her.

However, Qin Mu Feng does not approve of hypnosis, always feeling it's a bit fantastical.

It is a way to awaken memories of the past that are not entirely certain.

Xie Wantang strongly believes in this method.

In fact, before deciding to marry Lu Yanshen three years ago, Xie Wantang had wanted to find Zhou Wen Ting to give her a hypnosis session to be completely sure.

However, that time, Zhou Wen Ting was not available; she was abroad in seclusion studying.

Time was pressing, not waiting for anyone; in the end, she still decided to marry Lu Yanshen.

That face, plus his voice, already accounted for eighty or ninety percent.

The remaining ten percent, she was just unsure of her benefactor's name.

Facing Qin Mu Feng's question, Xie Wantang did not deny, "It hasn't reached the point where I need hypnosis; I just have some issues and want to consult her. See, I've already invited her to dinner, and I haven't even made an appointment for a consultation."

"What's the difference between having dinner with her and seeing her for a consultation?" Qin Mu Feng didn't believe her.

""

Xie Wantang swallowed, not retorting.

Qin Mu Feng also didn't want to make things difficult for her, only reminding: "You're pregnant; pregnant women cannot undergo hypnosis, understand?"

"Is there such a saying?" Xie Wantang raised her head; she indeed did not know.

Expertise lies in specialization; this is not her field, so she is as naive as a novice.

"Of course, I've already talked to her, telling her not to give you hypnosis; as for you consulting her about other matters, I have no objection."

"Got it, second brother, thank you, second brother, I'm leaving."

"Hmm."

As Xie Wantang entered the elevator, Zhou Wen Ting's call came through.

She lowered her head and answered; accidentally, she hit the speakerphone, Zhou Wen Ting's voice was loud, speaking rapidly:

"I just called you; your second brother answered, she said you're doing a prenatal checkup, no, miss, aren't you already divorced? You're playing the 'carry the ball and run' game, awesome, big..."

By the time Xie Wantang turned off the speakerphone, Zhou Wen Ting had finished her main points.

Xie Wantang felt embarrassed; she wished there were no one in the elevator.

Much to her dismay, the elevator not only had people, but also classmates from the training class who would be together with her for three months.

Li Qiu Yun and Hu Mei Jia were both there, as well as Zhang Sen, who had taken a liking to her yesterday.

Especially Zhang Sen, upon hearing Zhou Wen Ting's loudspeaker voice say those words, found it utterly unbelievable.

He had specially dressed up today and even sprayed expensive cologne.

When she just answered the call, Xie Wantang hadn't smelled it; now, in this mortifying moment, she saw the person and also smelled the cologne.

She awkwardly turned around and replied to Zhou Wen Ting, "Got it, Doctor Zhou, I'll talk later; I'm in the elevator."

After saying that, Xie Wantang hung up the phone.

Fortunately, their classroom is on the seventh floor, not very high.

The elevator arrived right away.

Although it arrived immediately, it still felt like a while; Xie Wantang felt as if each second lasted a year.

To make matters worse, Zhou Wen Ting kept sending her messages, as if she had disturbed a hornet's nest.

The phone kept beeping, held in her palm; the temperature of the phone's casing kept rising, as if it were about to die.

Ding—

The elevator arrived; Xie Wantang lowered her head and rushed out.

Clumsily, not seeing anyone ahead, she bumped straight into Lu Chen's arms as he was talking to someone.

There was no pine scent, but there was an inexplicably familiar aura that suddenly intruded into her nostrils.

"Um, sorry." Xie Wantang looked up, saw it was Lu Chen, immediately stepped out of his embrace, and apologized.

"It's fine, didn't I bump you?" Lu Chen said concernedly, his peripheral vision intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Xie Wantang's belly.

Xie Wantang shook her head: "No."

Afterward, Xie Wantang went to the classroom.

What she didn't know was that, after accidentally bumping into Lu Chen's embrace, Li Qiu Yun and Hu Mei Jia behind her saw it and mistakenly thought she had done it on purpose, that it was her deliberate petty behavior.

Especially, when she turned to go to the classroom and Lu Chen's gaze still followed her closely, it made the two women even more jealous.

"Really shameless, pregnant yet still trying to seduce the assistant instructor Lu."

"The key is, she's divorced too, playing the 'carry the ball and run' game, thinking she's the female lead in a pampered wife story?"

The two women looked down on Xie Wantang's such behavior.

While the two were badmouthing Xie Wantang, Zhang Sen, feeling betrayed, recalled yesterday when Xie Wantang watched him being humiliated by Su Yang, and he also felt not a shred of goodwill toward her.

"Let me tell you, don't underestimate Xie Wantang; she's best at attracting bees and butterflies. Yesterday she even provoked Su Yang; you don't know, that feigned coquettish look made Su Yang utterly enamored."

Zhang Sen said that on purpose.

Li Qiu Yun and Hu Mei Jia thus believed Zhang Sen's words, pulling him aside to have him tell them the details.

……

Over there, after Xie Wantang entered the classroom, she was no longer so embarrassed.

Professor Wu had already arrived early in the classroom, answering questions for the early students; seeing Xie Wantang, before she could greet him, he took the initiative to greet her.

"Xie Wantang, you're here?" Professor Wu said with a smile.

"Mm, Professor Wu, good morning."

Good morning, is there anything from yesterday's lesson you don't understand? Feel free to ask me.

Okay.

Xie Wantang nodded, "I'll come after they finish asking me."

Sure, you can also come to my office after the first class ends later. Professor Wu nodded with a smile, his heart full of affection for Xie Wantang.

Okay, Professor Wu.

Xie Wantang lowered her head to look at the messages Zhou Wen Ting had sent her; Zhou Wen Ting had sent many, but she hadn't replied to any, probably knowing she was indeed busy; the last one was an invitation to have lunch together at noon.

Zhou Wen Ting let her pick a restaurant and time; she went there when the time came.

After that, Zhou Wen Ting quieted down.

Zhang Sen, Li Qiu Yun, and Hu Mei Jia rushed in at the last second; as they entered the classroom, Professor Wu said, "You three, could you arrive two minutes earlier? Class has already started."

"Sorry, Professor Wu, I ate something bad and spent extra time in the bathroom; it won't happen again." Zhang Sen's talent for making up excuses was smooth.

Lu Chen, who had just entered, happened to hear Zhang Sen's bogus excuse, but he didn't expose him.

Take your seats, class is starting.

Yes.

Before class, Lu Chen suddenly walked over to Zhang Sen and said, "Um, Zhang Sen, are you nearsighted?"

Zhang Sen, puzzled, shook his head: "I'm not nearsighted, Assistant Instructor Lu."

"Alright, then switch seats with Cui Kai; he's nearsighted." Lu Chen gave no further explanation.

……

Zhang Sen was dazed; you can get glasses for myopia—these days, aren't glasses easy to get?

Over there, Cui Kai was already walking toward Zhang Sen, holding his belongings.

Under Lu Chen's gaze, Zhang Sen had no choice but to stand up and walk to the back row.

Before leaving, he glared at Xie Wantang.

Xie Wantang: "……"
