Chapter 107: It's Lu Chen, not Lu Yanshen

Fu Fu seemed to sense Xie Wantang's friendliness; it didn't angrily voice displeasure but instead enjoyed letting Xie Wantang poke it.

When the elevator arrived, Xie Wantang returned Fu Fu to its owner.

"I'm going to meet a friend today; otherwise, don't follow me?" Xie Wantang discussed with Su Yang.

I'll just send you to the meeting place, how about that?

All right." Xie Wantang agreed, "Today my second brother brought me here; I'll call a car first."

No need, Assistant Instructor Lu has already given me his car keys.

Lu Chen?

Lu Chen's car is very low-key, much like him.

After getting in the car, Xie Wantang sent the chosen restaurant and time to Zhou Wen Ting, then called to reserve a spot at the restaurant: "Mm, two people, I'm surnamed Xie, okay, I'm already on my way."

Along the way, Xie Wantang and Su Yang both remained silent; Su Yang drove with great focus, and on the flat road he managed to keep watch in all directions.

He was so earnest that Xie Wantang couldn't help but glance at him twice.

Although the weather was fine and the journey safe, seeing Su Yang's solemn and earnest demeanor, Xie Wantang kept feeling as if he were escorting her in an escape.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Xie Wantang had Su Yang return the car.

Zhou Wen Ting arrived on time; Xie Wantang had already ordered her favorite braised small seafood and clam vermicelli soup, and for herself she ordered a bowl of seafood congee.

Accompanied by the restaurant's small side dishes.

When Zhou Wen Ting arrived, she had the boss give her a bowl of plain white rice.

I haven't had breakfast." Zhou Wen Ting explained.

Oh.

Xie Wantang nodded; she had messaged Zhou Wen Ting too early this morning, disturbing her sleep and also affecting her mood for breakfast.

Xie Wantang consciously took the responsibility upon herself.

After Zhou Wen Ting finished her bowl of white rice, Xie Wantang's seafood congee was also half-eaten; Zhou Wen Ting put down her chopsticks, and Xie Wantang tacitly put down her spoon as well.

Speak up—are you looking for me to give you hypnosis?" Zhou Wen Ting got straight to the point.

This girl, with a shift of her gaze, already knew what nonsense she was about to spout.

My second brother said……

Xie Wantang thought of what Qin Mu Feng had said—that she was pregnant and therefore couldn't do hypnosis.

Your second brother doesn't know jack; if you want to do it, I'll help you—deep or light, either works.

You should have waited for me a bit longer three years ago; who's that eager to get married?

Zhou Wen Ting continued to disparage.

After her closed-off study ended, she picked up her phone and saw the message Xie Wantang had sent her a few months earlier; only then did she realize that this girl, unable to wait for her to give her hypnosis, had decided to go ahead and get herself married.

She had originally planned to scold her upon returning home, but on the plane she realized that scolding would be useless—she was already married.

Nowadays, she still can't escape the fate of divorce.

However, this marriage wasn't completely without gain; she also gained a child.

That's also quite good.

In the future, raising the child on her own would mean fewer family conflicts.

She also wants to be a single mother in the future.

If she seeks a man, it's only to borrow his seed.

If no man is willing, she'll just go to that kind of sperm bank and buy one.

I wanted to wait for you, but I couldn't.

So what do you want to be hypnotized about now?" Past events are past; no need to mention them again.

Or perhaps the scene of my rescue that day—I want to try it, and finally find out what name others called him.

Name?

You should know, Lu Chen of LC and my ex-husband Lu Yanshen look exactly alike.

What about their voices?" Zhou Wen Ting, who knew about this, said, "You can't even tell them apart?"

Their tones are also quite similar; mainly, these two never appeared before me at the same time. If they could, I think I could judge for myself.

I'm impressed with you; all right, I can help you try, but as always, it doesn't guarantee success in one attempt.

Mm.

After lunch, Zhou Wen Ting took Xie Wantang to her treatment room.

All phones were silenced, and Zhou Wen Ting also instructed her assistant that nothing should disturb her for the next hour.

After entering the office, Zhou Wen Ting had Xie Wantang lie on that black recliner; directly opposite was a clock with an owl-head motif, its twelve numbers corresponding to the twelve zodiac animals.

Watch my hand gestures.

One.

Two.

Three.

After the three numbers were called out, Xie Wantang closed her eyes.

Zhou Wen Ting narrated from the side: "Now you are fourteen; the aunt's clinic needs a certain herb. You learned from others that the herb must be picked on the mountain, so to help the aunt, you secretly went alone without telling anyone."

You stepped on the herb successfully, but then encountered a mudslide, leaving you trapped halfway up the mountain; at your young age, this was your first encounter with such a perilous natural disaster.

Relying on sheer willpower, you climbed up a tree and waited for rescue.

Soon, a man truly came to rescue you, shouting with sweat dripping, his face covered in grime as he approached; you felt he was a beam of light, you were delighted, he turned and squatted down, letting you climb onto his back, you nestled against his back, and he carried you away.

After he brought you to safety, there were already many rescued villagers there; he set you down and went off to busy himself, while warm-hearted villagers offered you steaming rice soup and gave you buns and steamed bread to stave off hunger.

He followed the rescue team, continuing to search for the trapped villagers and tourists, until…

Someone suddenly called out his name.

Lu...

Lu Chen.

Suddenly, Xie Wantang, lying in bed with her eyes tightly closed, opened her eyes, sat up from the bed, and gasped heavily.

The name she shouted was Lu Chen, not Lu Yanshen.

The hypnosis ended.

Regardless of the outcome, whether it was what Xie Wantang wanted or not, Zhou Wen Ting's work ended.

The layer of dense sweat that seeped from Xie Wantang's forehead showed that her emotions were more agitated during that hypnosis process.

Zhou Wen Ting poured her a cup of warm water, the temperature just right for drinking, and handed it to her: "Drink some water to calm your emotions."

Xie Wantang took the water in a daze, sipping it slowly in small mouthfuls.

She knew what name she had shouted; during the hypnosis just now, she had heard it clearly.

However, Xie Wantang turned her head uncertainly and asked Zhou Wen Ting: "Which name did I just shout?"

Zhou Wen Ting answered: "Lu Chen, not your ex-husband."

Xie Wantang closed her eyes, returned the water cup to Zhou Wen Ting, and said, "Wen Ting, do you think I still need to do it again?"

I think it was quite successful just now, although I said I couldn't guarantee success on the first attempt, but just now it should have restored what happened back then.

So these three years...' Xie Wantang's eyes reddened, a little unwilling to admit that these three years she had loved the wrong man and embraced the wrong kindness.

Now, the Lu Chen before her is truly the one who saved her back then.

"Don't think too much, is your stomach uncomfortable?" Zhou Wen Ting comforted her.

She is now a pregnant woman; don't dwell on what happened three years ago.

Xie Wantang shook her head: "No."

"It's good that there's none; quickly untie the knot of the past and start a new life with your baby."

"Mm."
