"Ruoruo, shall we go out for a walk today?" Fang Siyan held the girl's hand and wiped off the lotion on it.
The girl's delicate palm was fair with a faint pink tinge. However, the faint red marks from the ropes on her wrist made Fang Siyan feel uncomfortable.
Ding Ruola also noticed Fang Siyan's gaze fixed on her wrist. She immediately pulled her hand out of the man's and tucked it slightly into her sleeve. The edge of the clothes just covered the scar on Ding Ruola's wrist.
Although the physical shackles had been removed, the mental ones still remained.
The girl lowered her head and said nothing.
Fang Siyan also realized that his stare had been too intense.
"If you don't want to go out, shall we go and take a rest together?"
The girl nodded slowly after a moment. Fang Siyan followed the girl helplessly.
When Fang Siyan entered the room, he accidentally knocked the key on the door to the ground.
The moment he bent down to pick up the key, Ding Ruola collapsed on the ground and curled up into a ball.
"Sorry! Please let me go!"
The sound of the key colliding was extremely similar to the sound of chains. Hearing this sound, Ding Ruola immediately recalled that day's scene.
Since that day, Ding Ruola had been trapped in a nightmare.
Later, after watching Ding Ruola fall asleep, Fang Siyan left the room at ease and brought all the documents from the study.
Fang Siyan was a man who clearly separated work from life. However, because Ding Ruola's situation was special now, he had to accompany her.
At least she could see him when she opened her eyes.
The man looked at the document in his hand, the financial statement from last month. He found that a project had been in a state of deficit.
It was a tourism project. Earlier, Fang Siyan had disagreed with the development of such artificial scenic spots. However, those shareholders seemed crazy. Hearing that tourism development could make money, they insisted on getting involved.
The preliminary construction cost 600 million yuan. Spreading it over three years, it was equivalent to an investment of 300 million yuan a year.
The scenic spot had a good income in the first month after its completion. After tax, it could earn nearly 30 million yuan a month.
But everyone was just coming for a novelty.
In the following months, the situation got worse and worse. There were basically no tourists.
Now, instead of making money, they had to pour money into it.
Fang Siyan could only think of a way to do some marketing to make the debt statements for the next few months look better, and then find a fool to take over this project.
Cut losses in time and make a decisive abandonment!
This was the way of doing business.
Just as Fang Siyan was about to contact Zhang Wei, the girl beside him began to fidget. She let out soft moans from her throat.
Her brows were tightly knitted, and her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to say something.
"Baby! I'm here with you!"
Fang Siyan quickly put down the document in his hand. He placed the computer on the ground, lay on his side, and held Ding Ruola's hand to make her feel more comfortable.
"I'll always be with you and won't let you get hurt!"
Ding Ruola was immersed in her dream and couldn't hear the man's voice. The man's affectionate words were just spoken into thin air.
The girl still wriggled restlessly. No matter what Fang Siyan said, the girl didn't show much reaction.
Fang Siyan put his arm around the girl's neck and placed his fingers on her cheek. He felt a warm drop of liquid flowing between his fingers.
It was Ding Ruola's tear.
"Let me go!"
The words that had been stuck in her throat burst out from her lips all of a sudden. The girl woke up at this moment.
Her eyes were red, and her cheeks were flushed.
Although the air - conditioner was on in the room, there was a thin layer of sweat on Ding Ruola's nose and forehead.
Just as the girl opened her eyes, it seemed as if there was a white silk covering her eyes. She didn't see Fang Siyan's face clearly before her hands started flailing around randomly.
A clear slap.
Fang Siyan couldn't figure out why. Maybe he had ancestral karma and had to take this slap for Gu Tingjun.
The girl looked so thin and small, but she had such a strong hand.
After the loud "slap", Ding Ruola was completely awake. She looked up and saw the red handprint on Fang Siyan's face. She lowered her head shyly.
"Sorry, I can't take it anymore! As soon as I fall asleep, he will appear in my dream."
The "he" in Ding Ruola's mouth could only be one person - Gu Tingjun!
The girl's condition was getting worse.
Fang Siyan clearly knew that Ding Ruola was suffering from post - traumatic stress disorder. However, since Ding Ruola was unwilling to cooperate with the doctor's treatment, he was very helpless now.
The man knew that indulging Ding Ruola like this would only make her situation worse.
He was still thinking about taking Ding Ruola to see a psychologist tomorrow. Unexpectedly, Ding Ruola had already taken the initiative to contact a psychologist - Li Qianmo.
Fang Siyan knew Li Qianmo's status in the circle of psychologists in the capital. Few people could make an appointment with Li Qianmo without prior notice.
Ding Ruola actually had such connections.
Fang Siyan found it incredible. The next day, he took Ding Ruola to the psychologist. On the way, Li Qianmo asked them to go directly to his home.
Ding Ruola read the address in her hand to Fang Siyan word for word.
The two circled around the overpass and then turned back.
They wasted a full half an hour.
"Hello!"
When Fang Siyan saw Li Qianmo for the first time, he felt that this man gave a very comfortable impression. His facial features looked very soft.
Li Qianmo had a faint smile on his face. He greeted Ding Ruola and motioned for her to sit on the left - hand sofa.
"I still hope to know the detailed situation here!"
The man looked up at Fang Siyan. Fang Siyan was a bit confused.
He coughed lightly twice.
"I'm not used to having someone standing beside me!"
Fang Siyan indicated that Ding Ruola couldn't leave his sight...
Before he could explain clearly, Ding Ruola urged Fang Siyan to go out quickly.
What was going on?
Fang Siyan was a bit annoyed. He glared at Li Qianmo and then followed the direction Li Qianmo pointed to and went into a guest room.
He originally left the door open. However, the man still couldn't suppress his curiosity. He wanted to know what Ding Ruola might say to Li Qianmo.
The door had only been open for about five minutes when Li Qianmo suddenly opened it.
"Sorry, Mr. Fang!"
Before Fang Siyan could react, he only heard a loud "bang", and the door was closed.
Fang Siyan sat in the room. He could only hear the ticking of the clock in the room and nothing else.
In front of Li Qianmo, Ding Ruola could say all the things that she had been reluctant to say in front of Fang Siyan.
"Actually, it's nothing!"
The smile on the man's face was like the gentle spring sun. He sat beside Ding Ruola and placed a cup of hot water on the table beside her hand.
"You have to learn to face it bravely!"
Ding Ruola understood all the things Li Qianmo said, but she just couldn't do it.
"Can you make me forget?"
Ding Ruola knew that Li Qianmo might have the ability to seal people's memories. She wanted to directly seal that memory.
"Painting black into white is not a cure."
