Chapter 229: Chapter 232 Dependency isn’t Love_1

Yang Gang reflexively gave Liu Hui a glance, then retreated, nonchalantly saying, "Well... I recently rummaged around Taobao and found this book called ’The Book of Picking-up Girls’. It has a technique called ’Fix the plank roads by day while secretly cross the Wei River’. In other words, pretend to be a patient in order to chase after the nurse."

Liu Hui looked stunned, finally saying after a long pause, "Sir, you’re suffering from psychological complex due to a dread of doctors, which manifests as delusions, anxiety, and tension. Let’s first address your mental health issues. I know a respected female doctor in psychology, I can introduce her to you. Let me repeat, this condition must be treated."

Yang Gang faltered slightly, strictly speaking, until now everything had been proceeding according to his script. His purpose in fabricating the ludicrous story about the book of picking-up girls was to draw Liu Hui’s attention. However, getting treatment from a psychologist was definitely outside of Yang Gang’s expectations.

However...

This could be good, as it offered him an excuse to get closer to Liu Hui.

So, Yang Gang nodded in agreement.

"Oh, this psychology doctor is respected in the field, her consultations fee may be higher. An hour would cost 300 Yuan." Liu Hui added.

The fee she quoted was indeed quite high. The average fee for a psychologist in Hangcheng is around 100 Yuan per hour. The female psychology doctor Liu Hui recommended was triple the average price.

"Money isn’t a problem!" declared Yang Gang confidently.

Considering Liu Hui’s high praise and the hefty fees, Yang Gang began to speculate that this psychology doctor might be truly capable.

The two decided to meet up with the psychology doctor together that evening.

At seven in the evening, Yang Gang and Liu Hui walked into an elegant, traditional coffee shop.

In an exquisite private room, Yang Gang met the legendary psychology doctor... Gu Xiaorou!

Seeing Gu Xiaorou, Yang Gang understood that he was in the middle of the most melodramatic scam in the world.

Psychology doctor... are you kidding me? Gu Xiaorou’s tea at the university was limited to just recently at Haixing University. This girl hadn’t even attended high school, and now she’s a psychology doctor?!

When Gu Xiaorou saw Yang Gang, she was equally dumbstruck.

However, Liu Hui seemed unaware of their reactions. Smiling at Yang Gang, she said, "This is the psychology doctor I mentioned to you. Pretty, isn’t she? But she’s not just a pretty face, she’s got her doctorate in psychology from University of Cambridge..."

Cough...

Gu Xiaorou’s face turned bright red. If there was a crevice in the floor, she would have wanted to crawl into it.

Yang Gang wore a mischievous grin.

Then, Liu Hui began to introduce Yang Gang, "Doctor Gu, this is my patient I told you about..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Gang’s face darkened. A belated realization hit him. Liu Hui must have already informed Gu Xiaorou about his impotence...Oh hell!

Meanwhile, Gu Xiaorou too was grinning at Yang Gang, "Mr. Yang, don’t be shy. With recent advances in modern technology and Liu Hui’s exceptional ability, you’ll definitely be healed."

Cough...

"Doctor Gu, ’exceptional ability’ has multiple meanings. Be cautious about using it." Liu Hui coughed and said.

"What are the other meanings?" asked Gu Xiaorou innocently.

Liu Hui turned her head, pretending not to know Gu Xiaorou.

After a while, Liu Hui looked at the time and said, "Mr. Yang, let Doctor Gu treat your psychological issue first. I have other matters to attend to, so I will leave first."

After Liu Hui left, Yang Gang and Gu Xiaorou stared at each other as silence filled the room.

"Psychology doctor..."

"Impotent man."

"Female swindler."

"Impotent man."

Yang Gang admitted defeat, twitching at the corner of his mouth, "Madam, could you please keep those two words to yourself?"

Gu Xiaorou, wearing a mischievous smile, watched Yang Gang, "Gangzi, now I understand why after all these years living with Sister Xiaoxi, you’re still a virgin. So, this is the reason."

Yang Gang twitched again, "Actually, this is all a misunderstanding. I really don’t have a problem."

"If you don’t have a problem, why go to a doctor?"

Yang Gang: ...

"Alright, I admit I have a problem." Having no desire to reveal his mission to Gu Xiaorou, Yang Gang stopped trying to explain.

Looking at Gu Xiaorou, he continued, "On the other hand, how did you get involved in this sort of deceiving scheme?"

Her face turned scarlet, Gu Xiaorou lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, "Over the past six or seven years, apart from you and Zhang Yu, I’ve hardly had much contact with other men. Liu Hui suggested I should interact more with men to understand them better."

Yang Gang’s face darkened, "Gu Xiaorou, your boldness keeps growing. Now I understand why those men are willing to pay a woman who has no understanding of psychology. They’re enchanted by your beauty. You foolish girl, don’t you see, you’re inviting the wolves into your house!"

Gu Xiaorou didn’t dare to lift her head as Yang Gang scolded her, speaking quietly in her defense, "I can protect myself, and besides, those men are all impotent..."

"What if someone with ulterior motives sneaks in? Sure, you can handle yourself physically, but what if they were to resort to other tactics like drugging you? Last time, your sister-in-law, Dikari, deceived you. Have you forgotten about that? It’s frustrating that even at your age, you still struggle to protect yourself!"

For an unknown reason, Yang Gang felt a surge of anger.

"I’m sorry." Gu Xiaorou meekly bowed her head, not daring to look at Yang Gang.

Seeing Gu Xiaorou look so pitiful, rare as this may be, any anger left in Yang Gang disappeared.

"Don’t do this sort of thing again!" Yang Gang advised.

Gu Xiaorou gave a nod.

"Who is this Liu Hui, really? How did you meet her?" Once calm, Yang Gang asked.

He knew well that regardless of whether Liu Hui was a drug dealer or not, she was no ordinary person. Getting too involved with someone like her could be dangerous.

"Oh, I met her when I was in the United States. Don’t worry, Liu Hui is not a bad person," said Gu Xiaorou.

"Ah! Be more careful. I did promise Zhang Yu that I would take care of you when he’s not around. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to him?" said Yang Gang.

Gu Xiaorou lifted her head, took a look at Yang Gang, then lowered her gaze again.

A short while later, she raised her head again, her composure restored. She smiled faintly, "Hey, Gangzi, may I ask you a question?"

"What?"

"If Zhang Yu and I both fell into the water, who would you save first?" Gu Xiaorou asked with a grin.

Yang Gang felt desolate, can we change the question, please?

He collected himself and calmly replied, "Is that even a question? Of course, I would save you first."

"Because Zhang Yu can swim?"

"No."

"Because I’m a woman?"

"No."

Gu Xiaorou was curious, "So why, then?"

Yang Gang glanced at Gu Xiaorou, calmly stating, "Because I can live without Zhang Yu, but not without you."

Gu Xiaorou was taken aback, her ears turned slightly red. After what seemed like an eternity, she regained her composure.

Maybe Yang Gang was not lying, perhaps he did feel that way.

But it was a sign of reliance, not love.

In his heart, Gu Xiaorou would forever remain his soulmate, not his life partner.

However, for a fleeting moment just now, she had let herself daydream a little about what he had said.

Ha. Ha.
