From Luo Yun’s point of view, she could not let a straight man speak to her in a manner by which he beat around the bush. She wanted him to be direct and provide her with some guidance. As such, she immediately warned him in advance from saying something that would only leave other people angry. “I’ll try them all for you so that you can see how they look. I need your help choosing another one.”

She would present him with all of the choices, then give him the right to make the decision and respect his opinion. She did not believe that he could still shake his head and reject her after everything she was saying and doing.

Luo Yun ran straight to the cloakroom to change into one of the dresses she had brought. The first one was a green and white A-line dress. The hem of the dress reached her knees, revealing her slender calves. It gave her a rather mature vibe.

“Turn.” Bai Qihan sized her up with his eyes.

Luo Yun turned around and brought along a gust of wind as she did so. The air was filled with the fragrance that resulted from her shower.

“Show me another one.”

The second dress was embroidered with floral patterns, and it was quite ladylike. The design of the waist made her waist look slim. Without a doubt, she was beautiful. At this moment, the corners of her lips were curled up, making her look confident and lively.

Bai Qihan nodded. He felt that this dress was nice. It was lively and ladylike, and it was not too gaudy. He felt that it was the most suitable dress for a family banquet.

“I’ll change to the last one.” Luo Yun saw him nod, but she still wanted to try on the last one. It was a white off-shoulder dress. It was well-cut and mature.

This was also very nice, but Bai Qihan still chose the second option.

“Are you sure?” Luo Yun asked.

“Yes.” Bai Qihan was a man of few words.

It was as if he would lose 100 million if he said anything more. Luo Yun knew this, so she did not expect to hear any praise from him. Luo Yun tilted her head and said, “Okay, then I’ll go with that one. I also think that it looks the best.”

A fragrance wafted in the air. She took a deep breath and said, “It smells so good. Is it lavender?” Her gaze turned to the humidifier at the side.

Bai Qihan needed all sorts of sleeping aids to be able to fall asleep at night, so he put some sleeping aid essential oil in the humidifier and had it release the scent into the air. These were recommended to him by his psychiatrist.

Luo Yun picked up the essential oil beside the humidifier and looked at the recipe behind it. He turned back and looked at him. “It’s better to apply this on your wrist and temples.”

Previously, the servants had been cleaning up. They probably thought that the effect would be better if they put this thing in the humidifier.

“Give me your hand,” Luo Yun said with a smile.

Bai Qihan stretched out his hand, which Luo Yun then held in her hand.

“You just have to do this…” Luo Yun dripped a drop on his palm and gently spread it with her middle finger.

Her hand was soft and warm. Her fingers lightly touched his palm. It made it feel a little hot and itchy, but it was a wonderful feeling overall.

Luo Yun raised her hand and gently tapped his temple. “If you can’t sleep at night, first place the oil in your palm, then rub it on your wrist and temple.”

When she said this, she was very close to him. When she spoke, her lips opened and closed like an alluring cherry. Her skin was fair and delicate. Even with how close they were, it looked as if there was not a single pore on her face. Her face simply seemed to be absolutely flawless. Moreover, there was still the fragrance of a shower emanating from her body.

Bai Qihan closed his eyes and listened to her. He took a deep breath. The scent of the essential oil was very calming and could help him sleep.

Luo Yun sat up straight and smiled. “I hope you have a good sleep. Good night.”

“Good night,” Bai Qihan said.

Luo Yun folded the dress and pointed to the cloakroom. “Then I’ll go back now.”

Although the two of them had straightened out a lot of things, they had not disturbed each other in the past, and they could not simply progress too much when it came to physical contact. Today could be said to be a huge breakthrough.

Before going to bed, Luo Yun looked through Bai Qihan’s schedule for tomorrow and found that it was not that full.

In the morning, he had a routine psychological checkup. In the afternoon, he had a meeting. After that, he would go to the Bai family’s old residence with her.

Luo Yun raised her hand and smelled the scent of the oils she had touched earlier. The scent was indeed very calming.

…

Psychiatrist He Bo arrived half an hour early in the morning, and Luo Yun was the one who welcomed him, “Please take a seat first. Bai Qihan is currently in a meeting, so please wait shortly.”

He Bo had seen her a few times before, but the two of them had never interacted because the original Luo Yun did not like to meet strangers and did not know how to entertain people. Therefore, whenever he came in the past, it was always the Bai family’s servants who entertained him. This time, he was slightly surprised to find that Luo Yun was the one who had come to entertain him.

Luo Yun sat down opposite him and poured him a cup of tea. “Have a taste.”

He Bo could not refuse. “It’s delicious.”

Luo Yun suddenly said, “Doctor He, let’s exchange contact information. This way, if anything happens in the future, we can contact each other more conveniently.”

“Oh, okay.” He Bo turned on his phone and asked her to scan the QR code. Then, he saw her change his name to: Bai Qihan’s Psychiatrist.

He thought that she would at least have Doctor He as his nickname, but in the end, he did not even deserve a name?
