I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

"Mr. Bai! Please don't think like that!"

"This is only the first formal contact; some setbacks are normal!"

"At least, Miss Chen agreed to have dinner with you, right? That's a huge step forward!"

Gu Yan immediately stepped forward and patted Bai Zikong's shoulder firmly, her tone resolute.

"She asked me, and I guess it's because I'm her treating physician, and I have a bit of a reputation, so she was either curious or..."

"It's perfectly normal to ask a few more questions if you want to indirectly understand your recovery progress!"

"Mr. Bai, rest assured, I have absolutely no feelings for Ms. Chen that go beyond a doctor-patient relationship!"

"My mission is to cure her. You are the most suitable person I have chosen, and I believe in you!"

"At least, let's finish the next script and see how it goes, okay?"

"It would be such a waste to give up now!"

With Gu Yan's repeated encouragement and explanation, Bai Zikong's dejection faded somewhat, and he nodded reluctantly: "Okay... alright, Mr. Gu, I'll listen to you."

Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject.

He took out a newly printed copy of the project plan and handed it to Chen Sinian.

"Mr. Chen, based on my close observation today, Miss Chen's mental state..."

"Compared to before, there are indeed some signs of improvement."

"Though it's faint, it's something to be happy about."

Gu Yan felt a bit aggrieved. This sign of improvement was all thanks to him enduring a headache and vomiting blood, and two physical encounters that brought him back to his senses!

It has absolutely nothing to do with Bai Zikong, the male lead he carefully selected!

But can he say it? No!

"Master Gu is amazing!"

Chen Sinian smiled as he took the proposal, looked at the cover, and read aloud, "The Amusement Park Operation Plan?"

He looked up, somewhat puzzled: "Master Gu, this..."

"Lia seems to have never liked places like this for children since she was little."

"It's noisy and boring."

"Boss Chen, you don't understand."

"Every girl dreams of going to an amusement park with someone she likes."

"It's just that some people seem to not want to go because of their personality, health, or other practical reasons."

Gu Yan shook her head, giving her a look that said, "You don't understand."

"Yeah?"

Chen Sinian scratched his head, still somewhat skeptical.

"Don't worry, we'll proceed according to plan."

Gu Yan spoke with great confidence.

There are many scenes in the original work about Cecilia and Bai Zikong's relationship developing, but he didn't have time to slowly work it out!

Two days have passed since the agreed time.

He has to leave with his grandfather in five days!

Especially today, the sudden arrival of the Pei family mother and daughter really gave him a fright.

What if Sister Lin also comes looking for her?

He could only fast-forward through a few of the most intense and rapid emotional escalations from the original work.

In the original novel, Chen Sinian initially disagreed with Bai Zikong getting close to his daughter, feeling that he was not good enough for her.

But now, in order to save his daughter, this old father is fully committed to supporting her, and the entire Chen family is cooperating in the charade.

Drag the progress bar directly to those iconic scenes that best ignite the emotions, and you should...

It shouldn't be a big problem, right?

At this moment, Li Zhengguo, who had been standing to the side, stepped forward and spoke with a serious expression:

"Master Gu Yan, thank you for everything you've done for Miss Chen."

He paused, then changed the subject, "But if I may be frank, your continued residence in the Chen family..."

"It would be easy to be exposed, and it wouldn't be safe either."

His gaze swept over Gu Yan's pale face and blood-stained clothes, and he said sincerely, "Our Shanglu Law Enforcement Department has specially prepared a residence for you that is absolutely safe and extremely secluded."

"The facilities are complete, and the security level is the highest."

"You and Mr. Gu can move there temporarily."

As he spoke, he took out two items from the black briefcase he was carrying.

The first item is a badge.

It is about the size of a thumb and has a deep, dark gold color.

The main body of the badge is a lifelike, coiled, and rising five-clawed golden dragon with its head held high and an ancient longsword resting under its claws.

The eyes of the golden dragon and the edge of the sword are inlaid with extremely fine, deep red crystals that occasionally flash with a faint light under the lamp, making them appear mysterious and majestic.

Just by holding it in your hand, you can feel its heavy weight and the solemn atmosphere it exudes.

The second item was a small, dark blue notebook with a leather cover.

The cover has no extra text, only a gold-stamped, complex three-dimensional coat of arms, with a simple diagram of crossed olive branches and the outline of a brain at the center.

The notebook is very thin, but the leather is delicate and special, slightly cool to the touch, and the edges are inlaid with a silver metal trim.

Li Zhengguo presented the two items to Gu Yan with both hands, lowering his voice to convey a solemn invitation:

"Master Gu Yan, this Golden Dragon Guardian Medal is one of the highest honors that the Empire rarely bestows upon non-military personnel."

"This signifies that the holder has made outstanding contributions to the Empire and enjoys the corresponding level of convenience and protection."

"This booklet contains the highest-level professional qualification certificate for specially appointed spiritual mentors in the empire, which carries very high authority."

"On behalf of the Imperial Superhuman Management Bureau, I hereby formally extend this invitation to you once again."

"Master Gu Yan, you really..."

"Why not reconsider joining the Empire's Special Operations Team for Superhumans? We... really need you."

He looked into Gu Yan's eyes, his tone becoming even more earnest.

Li Zhengguo knew in his heart that it wasn't just for the psychological counseling of top-tier superhumans.

He actually came here with another private mission.

An elderly gentleman in Beijing, who once commanded the military and is now retired, has a beloved granddaughter who has developed serious psychological problems. He has consulted top experts both at home and abroad, but none of them have been able to help her.

The old man went through many intermediaries, implying that he hoped the legendary top psychological counselor of the empire could be persuaded to take a look.

If Gu Yan agrees to join the official government, then inviting him to the capital would be a logical next step.

Gu Yan's gaze lingered for a moment on the heavy golden dragon badge and the certificate that exuded an extraordinary aura.

He shook his head gently, his face bearing its usual gentleness, yet unwavering firmness: "I'm sorry, Minister Li."

"I still prefer a freer, more leisurely life. And..."

"You know my body. It can't take any more strain."

"I have the will to serve the empire, but not the ability."

He pointed to his still pale face and gave a bitter smile.

Looking at his sickly yet stubborn appearance, Li Zhengguo sighed inwardly, understanding that this was a tactful final refusal.

He nodded, no longer insisting, and a look of understanding on his face: "The Empire respects the choice of every citizen and will never force anyone."

"Master Gu Yan was able to cure Miss Pei and Miss Lin, and now he is working on treating Miss Chen. This is already a great contribution to the country."

He stepped forward and personally pinned the dark gold Golden Dragon Guardian Medal to the chest of Gu Yan's black shirt.

He then solemnly placed the dark blue special appointment certificate in Gu Yan's hands.

Having healed two nation-destroying superhumans, they are now treating a third.

This honor is well-deserved.

It's important to understand that a medium-sized Western country was nearly destroyed because of the rampage of an S-class superhuman...
