Old Harden, can you handle having your vision-shifting abilities on all the time?

The moment Chen Xinyi heard that voice, she felt as if she had been struck by an electric current, and her body involuntarily froze.

She knew that voice all too well.

That was Lin Wan.

They've known each other since college, spent their final exams together, and talked about their dreams and love late at night in their dorm room.

She's been my best friend for over a decade; she'd recognize that voice even if it turned to ashes.

Moreover, she knew that Lin Wan must have already recognized Xu Xing.

She and Xu Xing walked out of the hospital building side by side, very close to each other, with Xu Xing's hand on her shoulder, their intimate posture was obvious.

Anyone with eyes can see what's going on in this situation.

Chen Xinyi's brain was racing at that moment.

She knew in her heart that if Xu Xing stayed, the situation would only become more ugly.

She knew Lin Wan's personality all too well. On the surface, she was a rational and restrained career woman, but deep down she was incredibly proud.

If Xu Xing were present, Lin Wan would definitely have made things unmanageable in order to protect her dignity.

When the three of them stand face to face, whatever they say or do will turn into a complete farce.

Rather than that, it's better to let her shoulder the burden.

Chen Xinyi barely hesitated before turning her head and lowering her voice to Xu Xing, saying, "You go first, leave this to me."

Xu Xing was slightly taken aback and looked at her.

Chen Xinyi's eyes were firm, without the slightest panic or hesitation: "If you stay, the situation will only get worse. Let me handle it."

Xu Xing looked into her clear eyes, paused for a second, and then nodded.

He understood what Chen Xinyi meant.

Under these circumstances, he is indeed not suited to stay.

It's far better for the two women to settle their differences themselves than for him to be present.

He released his hand from Chen Xinyi's shoulder, without looking back at Lin Wan's direction, and quickly walked towards the depths of the parking lot.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty parking lot, quickly disappearing around the corner.

Chen Xinyi watched his figure disappear from sight, then took a deep breath and composed herself.

She turned around, a calm smile on her face, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Wan stood on the steps at the hospital entrance, carrying a pharmacy bag in her hand.

Today she wore a beige business suit, her hair was neatly styled, and her makeup was exquisite and professional.

But at this moment, her face looked frighteningly pale.

Those usually bright eyes were now churning with a complex mix of shock, anger, and disbelief.

She saw with her own eyes Xu Xing and Chen Xinyi walk out of the hospital side by side, saw with her own eyes Xu Xing's hand on Chen Xinyi's shoulder, and saw the two of them looking so intimate.

At that moment, she felt as if her heart was being squeezed tightly.

She considered many possibilities: whether Xu Xing was becoming distant, whether there were problems between them, and even whether Xu Xing had another woman...

But she never imagined that the woman would be Chen Xinyi.

Her best friend.

Chen Xinyi smiled at her, her tone as relaxed as if she were chatting about the nice weather: "Wanwan, what a coincidence, you're at the hospital too?"

Lin Wan didn't speak, she just stared intently at her.

In those eyes, there was anger, disappointment, hurt, and the pain of betrayal.

Chen Xinyi felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, but she still maintained a smile.

She walked down the steps to Lin Wan and said gently, "Let's talk in my shop. This isn't the place to talk."

Lin Wan remained silent, but did not refuse either.

She just stared coldly at Chen Xinyi, as if she were looking at a stranger.

Chen Xinyi didn't mind and turned to walk towards the parking lot.

After taking a couple of steps, she turned back to look at Lin Wan: "Let's go, I'll drive."

Lin Wan stood there, silent for about ten seconds.

Reason and emotion were locked in a fierce battle in her mind.

She wanted to explode on the spot, to question Chen Xinyi about why she did this, to give her a good scolding, and to vent all the anger and grievances in her heart.

But she knew that it would be pointless to erupt here.

This is the entrance to the hospital, a place bustling with people and covered by security cameras.

If this really causes a scene here, the news will spread throughout the antique and luxury goods circles of Chang'an tomorrow.

She can't bear the shame.

Ultimately, reason prevailed over emotion.

Lin Wan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and followed Chen Xinyi to the parking lot.

The two stood one in front of the other, neither of them speaking.

A suffocating silence filled the air.

Chen Xinyi walked to her white Tesla Model 3, unlocked the door, opened the passenger door, and gestured to Lin Wan.

Lin Wan did not hesitate and bent down to sit in the passenger seat.

Chen Xinyi closed the car door, went around to the driver's seat, sat down, and started the car.

The car slowly drove out of the parking lot and merged into the city's main road.

The two remained silent throughout the journey.

The carriage was so quiet that only the low hum of the air conditioner and the rustling of the tires on the road could be heard.

Chen Xinyi focused on driving, occasionally glancing at Lin Wan in the passenger seat through the rearview mirror.

Lin Wan kept looking out the window, her face so gloomy it could drip water.

The car finally stopped in front of Chen Xinyi's luxury goods recycling shop.

Chen Xinyi parked the car, removed the key, and turned to Lin Wan: "We're here, get out of the car."

Lin Wan did not respond and simply pushed open the car door and got out.

Chen Xinyi also got out of the car, took out her keys to open the shop's roller shutter door, and stepped aside: "Come in."

Lin Wan walked in with a cold face.

Chen Xinyi followed behind, closed the roller shutter door, turned off the shop's sign light, and hung up a "Temporarily Closed" sign.

She walked to the sofa behind the counter, sat down, and pointed to the sofa opposite her: "Sit down."

Lin Wan did not sit down.

She stood in the center of the store, arms crossed, coldly watching Chen Xinyi.

After a silence of about ten seconds, she finally spoke, her voice filled with suppressed anger:

"Everyone online talks about having your best friend by your side, but I always took it as a joke."

She paused, then her voice suddenly rose several decibels: "I never imagined you would actually do something like this!"

Chen Xinyi leaned back on the sofa, looked up at her, and showed no sign of panic or guilt.

She didn't argue or explain; she simply reached into her bag, took out the pregnancy test report she had just received from the hospital, placed it on the coffee table, and pushed it in front of Lin Wan.

"Take a look at this."

Lin Wan paused for a moment, then looked down at the report.

The report clearly stated "Positive Pregnancy," followed by detailed HCG levels and an estimated gestational age.
