The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 281: A lunch date with a real father.

For thirty more minutes, professor He stuck around stubbornly, pushing Alix and driving her to talk about things she would have much rather erase from her mind with some bleach perhaps, like Jing Hee’s arrival into her life as a child.

Alix kept her eyes on the clock that was sitting high up on her wall above the book case. As soon as the one hour was up she smiled.

"Our time is up." She said.

There was a sense of relief in her words which nobody could possibly miss. She was like one of the students in class that had just heard the sound of the bell and could finally get a break.

Professor He closed her notebook and put it in her pocket. The session had ended just before she could bring up Alix’s birth mother. No matter, there would be a lot of time to dig into all that.

"It’s time for me to assign my first homework to you." She said seriously.

She noticed the crease on Alix’s forehead and it made her smile just a little.

"It’s not that hard. All I want is for you to take a picture with your husband and place it on your desk.

I asked him to do the same thing. For you on the other hand, there is an extra assignment."

She reached into her bag and brought out a folded a white sheet. As she unfolded it she said, "In relation to what we have discussed today, I want you to mark off the most intense emotions you experience when you think about your biological father.

The emotions are already indicated, you just have to rate the intensity so that I can help you develop healthy coping methods for your anger.

I will also be sending something to your house to help you deal with said anger. Hopefully, together we can resolve this issue and free you from the pain of your childhood."

Alix received the white sheet from the professor. She set it aside and looked at the professor.

"Is that it?"

Professor He nodded. "Remember to take that picture within this week. It would be best if its a picture of both of you doing something that you love. I will know if the smiles are not genuine and will continue asking for it."

"I thought you don’t force your clients to do things they don’t desire." Alix mumbled. "You are very pushy for a therapist." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"I am here to cleanse out your closet of unhealthy emotions and habits. Sometimes this requires me to push you beyond your comfort zone. I hope that you understand that I do not do this for fun but rather to help you heal and live a healthy wholesome life in future. I will be seeing you tomorrow then."

"Tomorrow!" Alix blurted. Was this a daily thing now? She thought she would see the professor one or twice a week.

Having to talk about these things everyday would be draining for her. She did not want to do it at all.

Professor He nodded. "Mmm, I will be no different from your shadow for a period of one year. I will not invade your privacy of course or keep you from doing your job. Live your life as you always do."

She turned around and left behind a slightly displeased Alix who thought that having one shadow in the form of Bi Cang was enough. He was like a royal bodyguard, always one or two steps behind her.

Even now, he was sitting in the guest receiving chairs outside her office as he always did, reading something on his tab and threatening her guests with his eyes. She had to be stern to stop him from frisking her visitors like a policeman.

The man had been acting as if they were here to assassinate her. He had scared a few teachers and students the previous week.

Jenny knocked on her door and the thoughts about shadows faded.

"Huh."

"Director, your father is here. "From where she was standing in the entrance of the door to her office, Jenny shared.

Alix looked at the time first. With twenty minutes to lunch, the chairman was early. She got to her feet anyway and put a smile on her face.

"It’s just food, why would I poison my daughter?" She heard his voice, quite irritated, coming from outside.

Her first shadow Bi Cang was probably attempting to frisk him she guessed. She hurried her steps and found them outside. Chairman Tai was carrying two bento boxes which Bi Cang was trying to take from him.

The chairman’s assistant was standing behind, looking rather confused.

"Father, you are here, I have been waiting for you." She called out.

Bi Cang stopped moving his hands and he put them down by his side. Chairman Tai hurried over to Alix with a broad smile on his face. Not only was he happy to see her but he was even happier because she had called him father, again. This was the second time she was referring to him this way.

There was a difference between the straight up deep voices of his sons when they called him father and the sweet melodious way in which Alix called him.

"Xi Xi, my daughter. Look, father has brought you a bento box."

There was something rather adorable in the way he said it. He sounded so proud of himself and excited.

The corners of Alix’s mouth curved upwards even further. She covered her mouth and guffawed for three seconds. Then, she looked at him and said, "Father, you are quite cute."

Chairman Tai surprised her even further by replying, "I am very cute, right? I told you that I was more good looking than that model in my youthful days but you didn’t belive me.My nickname was cutie patootie."

Alix’s mouth fell open and she laughed loudly. Her eyes lit up with happiness and her entire being changed. She relaxed and softened, all traces of the tension which had gripped her during her session with professor He evaporated from her body. She also absolutely did not believe that cutie patootie had been his nickname.

"We should hurry up and eat before your grandfather catches wind of this and sends me away." He told her.

He even looked around as if grandpa Tai would jump out of the shadows like a ninja and steal Alix away.

"Is that why you came early?" Alix asked him curiously.

"Your grandfather has claimed all of your free lunch breaks when you are on school grounds. He has forbidden the rest of us from coming over to distract you. I think he is the biggest distraction here for you. Are you sure that you are comfortable with having him working here on your school grounds?"

He handed the bento boxes to his secretary and held his arm out. Alix latched onto it immediately and they started walking to the school gardens behind the music school building.

"I like grandfather so much." She told him. "He tells me old stories from his days in the war with my grandfather, we play simple games together and he calls my husband and scolds him for this and that. I think the one he is giving trouble to is Caishen."
