Dr. Chen controlled her emotions and steadied the cup of water in her hand.
A heart as clear as ice, calm and unruffled. A heart as clear as ice, calm and unruffled...
After silently reciting the Ice Heart Formula thirty times, she smiled and said, "Miss Bai, please don't joke around. Of course, it's the one above."
Bai Ningning tilted her head three times: "What's sweet in your mouth?"
Dr. Chen almost lost her temper, thinking, what else could be sweet in her mouth? Could it be...
Wait, it seems there really is a bit too much.
So, Dr. Chen had to swallow her anger and answered properly, "I mean the words you say make people feel sweet inside."
Sorry, someone who has never been in love is indeed ignorant and didn't think that much.
"Oh, you scared me," Bai Ningning said with a cold face and a mechanical voice, "I thought I was getting diabetes."
Dr. Chen was stunned for a while before finally realizing that Miss Bai might have just made a cold joke to lighten the mood.
Dr. Chen silently wrote a line in the medical record and said, "Does Miss Bai have any other questions?"
If not, she was going to leave; her blood pressure really couldn't take it.
"Thank you, doctor. By the way," Bai Ningning suddenly realized, "Are you saying that Sister Yueyue thinks what I say is very sweet?"
If you hadn't been telling cold jokes just now and had listened carefully to my words, you wouldn't need to ask now, as if there was a delay of half the earth between us.
"Yes," Dr. Chen nodded, "That's right."
Bai Ningning became a bit flustered: "So, does that mean my communication skills have improved?"
Dr. Chen thought for a moment. According to Qin Yue's perspective, Bai Ningning hadn't changed at all; she still spoke the same way.
But due to the love filter, even though she was still a bit blunt and had issues with her blood pressure, she was super sweet.
"Um," Dr. Chen casually replied, "Maybe."
Anyway, she didn't understand love and didn't want to explain too much; she just wanted to leave quickly.
"Thank you, Dr. Chen," Bai Ningning stood up and politely shook her hand, "It was quite pleasant chatting with you."
Dr. Chen smiled without much warmth: "Thank you, Miss Bai, likewise."
After tidying up the medical record, she strode towards the door.
On the last page of the record, two lines were written: the first line: Qin Yue's condition has slightly improved, thanks to her own adjustments and the gradually improving family environment.
The second line: Just like last time, every conversation with Miss Bai is a significant challenge to my professional career.
......
Meanwhile, Bai Ningning returned to her room, feeling incredibly happy.
Dr. Chen said her communication skills were already strong. Sister Yueyue said that the words she spoke made people feel sweet inside.
What does this indicate? It indicates that hard work pays off!
Thank you, "Emotional Intelligence." And thank you, strangers on the forum.
"Ningning, senior," Qin Xin knocked and entered, "Mom asked me to ask you what you want for dinner?"
Sister's room was still as it used to be, elegant and simple, very spacious. But as soon as Qin Xin entered, she saw the slightly tattered little nightgown by the bed. And it wasn't torn; it was worn out.
Xin felt a bit pained, but it was expected.
"Anything," Bai Ningning replied, "I can eat anything."
"Ningning, senior," Qin Xin chuckled lightly, "One of the three hardest-to-interpret answers from girls is 'anything.'"
Bai Ningning thought for a moment and casually said, "Then let's have braised chicken."
To her surprise, dinner really did include a large plate of braised chicken. The potatoes were soft and sticky, the chicken was delicious, and it smelled amazing.
Qin's mom watched her eat quickly but in small bites, feeling quite complicated. Those rich girls all had the elegance of young ladies, and their dining etiquette was something else. Moreover, the most important thing was that they wouldn't always think about eating braised chicken.
"Eat something good, little succubus!"
"Um, Ningning," Qin's mom felt it necessary to remind her, "Are you interested in trying French cuisine?"
Bai Ningning had a chicken wing in her mouth: "French cuisine?"
"Other Western food is fine too, just to get to know it?" Qin's mom said.
Bai Ningning thought for a moment and shook her head: "Not really interested."
Although she had never tried it, she had seen those high-end Western meals on TV and thought they seemed too complicated.
Qin's mom quickly advised, "It's always good to know a bit. Think about it, what if you encounter Western dining someday, and everyone else knows how to eat, but you don't..."
"But our family doesn't eat Western food," Bai Ningning tilted her head and said.
Neither she nor Qin Yue, nor any of the other maids in the house, had a preference for Western food; at most, they baked some cookies or made cakes.
"There will always be a time when you encounter it," Qin's mom said, "Like the company lunch gathering you heard about at noon. Those few girls you know are going out for a meal; they might end up eating Western food."
She was mainly worried about this, afraid that those girls would take the opportunity to make fun of Bai Ningning during the meal.
Although Qin's mom didn't get along with the little succubus, that was a matter between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and outsiders shouldn't bully her.
So little succubus, don't think about your braised chicken; isn't foie gras, caviar, and escargot more appealing?
"Is there a possibility that I can decide the gathering location?" Bai Ningning said, "Is it possible to have Chinese food for the gathering?"
If they didn't like Chinese food, hot pot would be fine, and if that didn't work, rabbit pot would do; who could refuse a delicious mushroom soup rabbit pot?
"The gathering should follow the majority," Qin's mom said, "They all chose to gather..."
"No, workplace gatherings are decided by those in higher positions," Bai Ningning said, "Although those young ladies are interns, they should be prepared for this."
Am I not the secretary of the president and can't even decide what to eat for the gathering?
Do you understand what workplace bullying is?
Qin's mom had nothing to say, fine, let the little succubus take those girls to experience some farm-style dining; that would be good too.
By the way, why has Yueyue been silent all this time?
Qin's mom finally noticed her daughter's unusual behavior; she hadn't spoken since the meal started and had been holding her phone, not knowing what she was doing.
"Yueyue," she asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Nothing," Qin Yue still stared at her phone, "Just a small matter, you all eat first."
During psychological consultations, one needs to open up, which can easily affect emotions. But after such a long time of adjustment, Qin Yue had calmed down.
It was just that when she wasn't calm earlier, she had done a little something—like purchasing the "Energy Resonance" that Teacher 00 had introduced a few days ago.
In a moment of impulse, she regretted it now and was consulting the online teacher about precautions.
[00]: Generally speaking, I really don't recommend this for beginners; it's hard to control the usage. I only introduced it to you out of an exhibition mindset last time, but I didn't expect you to actually buy it.
[YN]: Impulse.
[00]: Well, since you've bought it, let me tell you a little about it.
