Chapter 351 - Epilogue- Because you are making me conscious.

"Stop." 

His brows rose. But Suyin came over and settled down gracefully in his l.a.p. He wrapped his arms around her waist. "Am I getting a treat, my love?"

"Just food. And stop looking at me like that." Jeez, his gaze!

"Why?"

"Because you are making me conscious." She turned to get a serving and a spoon. Awed by her actions, he opened his mouth before she had even spooned a bite. "Now coming back to the task where a mother complains about the naughty child as soon as the father returns from work. Honey is behaving weird."

"Not weird. He's in search of an adventure. A treasure. A kick! It's your fault for letting him bring that box from El Sandrios."

"My fault? My fault?"

"Ok fine. That was a terrible choice of words." he pointed at the sweet and sour fish and she spooned a piece for him. "You should have not asked him to meet a museum curator to know about the box. Now that he knows the symbols on the box date to15th century and is probably linked to the lost treasure of Llanganates, he won't stop."

She facepalmed, "This boy. Impossible. Let me get that box once, I'll hide it. No. Burn it." he let out a chuckle, "What!"

"Actually I'm glad that he's busy--" he nudged the tip of his nose to her earlobe, kissing just below it, sending a jolt of electricity that she almost dropped the plate.

"You-- Now I understood why Honey is always in search of an adventure. He got it from you."

"But I'm looking for a different type of adventure--" 

"NO!" she shoved the spoon in his mouth before he takes another move. "After eating, you will only sleep cuddle with me. Nothing more."

He asked for a moment to let him finish the food in his mouth and then, "No... You may have forgotten, but I didn't. We have an appointment booked with Dr. Jeff." 

"Later."

"I'm not missing it. No chance."

She dropped the spoon, "But--"

"Two days, no kissing." He scooped the rice and bring it to her mouth.

"Hey--" and shove the spoon in when her lips parted.

"No cuddles too."

"Bully."

"Who started first?"

"Fine. But I'll ask Dr. Jeff to shift the appointment two hours later. Take it, or drop it."

He hummed in satisfaction and pinched her puffed-up cheeks.

Two hours makes a lot of difference when you have the company of your partner. They cuddled and slept, waking up with a refreshed mind. Though she had tried to switch off the alarm, he was a step ahead and dropped a message to his assistant to remind him.

Daiyu scratched his head when Suyin gave him a lethal look while passing by his office on her way to Dr. Jeff.

"Slowly open your eyes,"

"Eighth session without it. And this time you did it without Wang Shi. Congrats. " 

"Yes! Can we let me join us? I want to show him this."

"Of course." Jeff fished out his phone from his pocket and called Wang Shi who was waiting outside in office. A second later, the door to the therapy room opened. Suyin raised the injection filled with yellow liquid up in the air like a trophy. 

"You-- Xanax--" Wang Shi took the injection, his eyes looking at Jeff for confirmation.

"Yeah. It wasn't required." Jeff answered.

"Yes! And it's all because of you." She leaned to press her mouth to his rough cheek, her lips tingling at the touch of stubble. 

Over the last four months, he had adjusted his schedule according to hers so that she never has to come for the therapy alone. And if any emergency occurs, he made sure that Dr. Jeff reschedules the session for the same day and only conduct it in his presence. Never missing once.

Today they experimented to see how she reacts to therapy in Wang Shi's absence. 

Though Wang Shi's support was crucial, the treatment can't be considered successful if she couldn't do it alone.

"Don't credit me for everything." He kissed her temple. "Dr. Jeff deserves some too."

"Oh , you guys know that I'm here? Stop kissing." Jeff rolled his eyes and turned, "C'mon now. Follow me to the office."

They followed him out and sat down opposite his desk. "What happened, Jeff? Wang Shi asked. 

"You tell me. You were there in the sessions before, have walked with Suyin on this journey, have seen the ups and down, and are a doctor. What changes have you seen in her over the past four months?" 

"She--" Wang Shi took her hand in his, his eyes lingering on her glowing face. "-- she is a lot more happier and carefree. No more restlessness, ill thoughts, overthinking, nothing.... She is living every moment of her life. Both personal and professional. Something's changed in her, yet not. My fierce Zhao Suyin is still the same, just a little adorable."

"That's what I wanted to hear. And what about your intimate life?"

Suyin bit her lips. Wang Shi smiled. "We are working on it. No hurries."

"Well...." Dr. Jeff wrote something on his pad and folded the paper into three folds before passing it to Suyin. 

Suyin's face beamed like stars as she unfolded the paper in front of him. She bolted up from her seat. "Really?"

Jeff, "Yes."

"What is it?" Wang Shi stretched his hand to get the paper, but Suyin dodged it.

"Nothing. I have to go somewhere urgently. Will catch up at dinner." She bends to press her lips to his, forgetting Dr. Jeff's presence again. Wang Shi kissed her right back as his heart soared by her happiness. Whatever it was in the letter, her smile says it's nothing he should be worried. "Bye. Miss me."

And she dashed like a wind.

"What was in it?" Wang Shi asked the moment she was out.

"Ask her. I'm not breaking the patient confidentiality clause."

"I'm the boss."

"But the rule stays the same."

"You are fired."

He picked the phone. "Let me see how your 'wifey' reacts to that."

Wang Shi "..."

"Put the phone down and get back to your job." 

"Ha, that's what you call wife's slave."

Wang Shi folded his sleeve. "Say again?"
