Of course, this was not normal. Qin Lan had suspected that he was gay, but Nan Chen was not interested in the same sex either. In fact, he would even feel disgusted if they got too close.
Then, Qin Lan thought that he could be suffering from an asexual disease. He would only love himself and refuse to accept anyone else regardless of their gender.
Even someone as mighty as Nan Chen was shocked by Qin Lan’s diagnosis.

This disease must be treated!
And so began his weekly psychological counseling sessions. As long as there were no important meetings or appointments, Nan Chen would come to Qin Lan’s clinic on time every week.
“I’m not sure.” Nan Chen said.
“What do you mean by that? Do you feel excited seeing the person? Is it a male or female?” Qin Lan pressed on.
Nan Chen opened his eyes, “Of course it’s a female! I’m not gay!”
“Alright, I get it. I didn’t say you were gay either. What do you feel when you see her?”
Nan Chen’s reply was beyond Qin Lan’s expectations, “I like her fragrance.”
“Have you slept with her?” Qin Lan asked.
“No.”
“So you mean you like her fragrance when you were standing face to face with her?”
“Yes.”
“What kind of person is she?” Qin Lan asked.
Nan Chen went silent.
Qin Lan found his silence perfectly understandable. It was indeed difficult to describe a person as it requires a lot of words.
Nan Chen would rarely say more than ten words at a time, so how could he possibly describe a woman in great detail?
“In that case, I will ask the questions, and you just have to answer them.” Qin Lan said.
“Alright.”
“Is she a beautiful woman?”
Qin Lan realized how dumb her question was right after asking it. Even beautiful girls have failed to gain Nan Chen’s interest, let alone ugly ones.
Ning Ran’s appearance flashed by in Nan Chen’s mind.
He was surprised at how an actress that boldly insulted him had managed to leave such a strong impression in his heart.
“She’s alright.” Nan Chen answered.
“Alright” was all he could manage to describe her with.
Nan Chen had come across too many beautiful women who threw themselves at him.
Therefore, Ning Ran could only qualify as “okay-looking” as she was definitely not the prettiest.
Qin Lan knew Nan Chen very well. Getting called “alright” by this block of ice was equal to getting a score of 90/100 from him.
“Do you feel like sleeping with her when you see her?” Qin Lan asked.
To a psychological counselor like Qin Lan, asking such questions are considered normal and not indecent, so she would not feel awkward for doing so.
She is a doctor, and needed to communicate effectively with her patients in order to solve their problems.
Nan Chen remained silent.
He wasn’t embarrassed with the topic, however. He just didn’t know the answer himself.
He was uncertain if he had such feelings towards her.
“I’m not sure.” He gave her a three-word answer.
“That means you’re feeling something! You’re feeling something for a woman! Congratulations, you’re no longer just loving yourself anymore!” Qin Lan said happily.
Nan Chen opened his eyes and had a puzzled expression on his face, “Really?”
“Of course! You’ve never had such feelings towards anyone else throughout those years. Right?”
Nan Chen kept quiet.
“Keep it up! Once you sleep with her, you should return to being a normal person.” Qin Lan said.
Nan Chen narrowed his eyes.
Sleep with her? A dignified leader of the Nanshi Corporation like himself, sleep with an ordinary actress who was disrespectful to him?
This sounded absurd.
Just as Nan Chen was lost in his thoughts, Qin Lan cried out suddenly, “Oh, right! I almost forgot something important!”
That snapped Nan Chen out of his thoughts, and he gave Qin Lan a questioning look.
Qin Lan whipped out a mobile phone from her purse, “A crook had broken into the house of a pair of twins yesterday. The kids were traumatized. Officer Wenqing from the police station had introduced them to me for psychological counseling. They looked so pretty! More importantly, they looked so much like you! Had I not known you personally, I would’ve suspected that they were your kids! I had wanted to take a picture with them, but the brother refused, so I could only get one with the sister.”
Qin Lan passed the phone over for Nan Chen to see.
Nan Chen was stunned when he saw the picture.
Wasn’t that the child that Luo Fei was carrying? But the one she carried was a boy, so why is this one a girl?
“A girl? Are you sure?” Nan Chen asked.
“Of course I am! They both look exactly the same, but the younger one is the sister, and the older one is the brother. They’re fraternal twins.”
Nan Chen took a deep breath. He had thought that there was only one child who looked like him, but now there are two of them!
“Who was it that came with them?” Nan Chen asked the main question directly.
He was eager to find out who those kids that looked like him belonged to.
“It was a woman.”
“What did she look like?”
“She was quite pretty and dressed casually. Short hair, a loose T-shirt, a pair of jeans and sneakers… Quite the carefree look.”
Nan Chen tried his best to associate her with the appearance of the two children in his mind. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t help but see a tomboy, going by Qin Lan’s descriptions.
“What about the guy?”
“There was no guy. By the way, the woman doesn’t seem to be their mother either. They addressed her as Aunt Xiang.”
“Aunt Xiang?”
“That’s right. They had great pronunciation so I heard it very clearly.”
Nan Chen was lost in thought.
Suddenly, he asked, “You keep a record of your patients, right?”
“Yes, I have the woman’s phone number.” Qin Lan said.
Qin Lan pulled up their files from her computer and retrieved the phone number.
“Are you sure you want to call her? Wouldn’t it be a bit too sudden? The kids may look like you, but you are hardly close with women so I doubt you’d have anything to do with them.” Qin Lan said.
Of course, being himself, Nan Chen wouldn’t make the call.
He pointed at the number, and looked towards Qin Lan.
“You mean for me to call her?”
Nan Chen nodded.
Qin Lan laughed, “The kid from yesterday didn’t like to talk much either. He would only nod or shake his head, and he looked so serious when he did it too! He looked like a mini version of Nan Chen!”
Without saying a word, Nan Chen narrowed his eyes and pointed at the phone again.
Qin Lan knew that once this block of ice has decided on something, nothing would be able to change it.
He would not rest until she made that phone call.
She dialed the number and heard a loud noise on the other line as the call got through.
“Hello? Who is this?”
Qin Lan put her on speaker so that Nan Chen could hear Cheng Xiangyun’s voice as well.
“I’m Ms. Qin. You brought the two kids over to my counseling center yesterday.” Qin Lan said.
“Oh, hi, Ms. Qin! Is something the matter?”
“I just wanted to check on the kids. How are they? Did they sleep well? How is their mental condition?”
“Thanks for your concern, doctor! They are fine, at least for the time being. They don’t seem to be showing any abnormal behavior so far. You’ve been a great help! The impact from the incident seems to be gone now.” Cheng Xiangyun said.
Qin Lan looked at Nan Chen who was listening next to her, and gave him a look that said, “What’s next?”
Nan Chen traced the word “invite” with his fingers on the desk.
“So, here’s the thing. I am still a little concerned about the kids. Could you have their parents bring them over tomorrow?” Qin Lan said.
“If it’s necessary, of course I would bring them over to see you, Dr. Qin. But their mother would be busy filming, so I will bring them instead.”
Nan Chen thought to himself. Their mother is an actress?
