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

About half an hour later, Chen Xinyi arrived at her home.

The two remained silent for a while before Chen Xinyi finally broke the silence.

"Wanwan, I know you hate me."

She looked at Lin Wan with sincere apology in her eyes, "I know what I did is unforgivable."

"But what I want to tell you is that I don't mind your presence."

Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at her.

Chen Xinyi picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and then put it down, saying calmly, "We all know Xu Xing's capabilities; I can't handle this alone."

"Now that I'm pregnant, I'm afraid he might have problems if I don't have someone to help me."

She looked at Lin Wan with a serious expression in her eyes: "So, if you're willing, we can be together."

Lin Wan's expression changed instantly.

She stood up abruptly, her voice filled with barely suppressed anger: "Chen Xinyi, do you know what you're saying?!"

"I know."

Chen Xinyi looked at her calmly. "I've made myself very clear."

"you……"

Lin Wan was trembling with rage. "You're utterly shameless! Get out!"

Chen Xinyi didn't say anything more. She believed that leaving one seed would be enough, and that Lin Wan would compromise.

……

Xu Xing didn't pay much attention to Chen Xinyi's actions.

He understood Chen Xinyi's personality; since she dared to say those words, she must have her reasons.

As for what Lin Wan thinks and does, that's between them, and he doesn't intend to interfere.

When it comes to matters of the heart, sometimes the more you get involved, the more chaotic things become.

Instead of being torn between the two women, it's better to let them process and handle things on their own.

Moreover, he had more important things to do.

The exchange competition on Li Yuting's side is about to start, and he had already promised to go and take a look, and also visit Huacheng.

Huacheng, the central city of Lingnan, has been an important node on the Maritime Silk Road since ancient times.

The antique market there is completely different from that in the north, mainly featuring Guangcai porcelain, Shiwan pottery sculptures, and Lingnan school paintings, with distinctive styles and strong regional characteristics.

More importantly, Huacheng is close to Foshan, and Foshan's Pingzhou Jade Street and Nanhai Jadeite Rough Stone Market are among the best in the country.

Xu Xing had wanted to go there for a long time, but he hadn't had the right opportunity.

Taking advantage of Li Yuting's exchange competition, we can go and do some on-site investigation.

He sent Chen Xinyi a message saying that he was going to Huacheng on a business trip for a few days and told her to rest well and take care of herself.

Chen Xinyi quickly replied, "Go ahead, go ahead, I'm fine here, you go about your business."

Xu Xing called Zhu Yong and Liu Jian again to explain the situation at the studio, telling them that he would be away for a few days and asking them to keep an eye on the studio.

After everything was arranged, he booked a flight to Huacheng for the next morning.

The next morning, Xu Xing packed his luggage quickly, carried a backpack, and took a taxi to Chang'an Xianyang International Airport.

He didn't drive that Maybach, nor did he ask Zhu Yong to drive him there.

He wanted to keep a low profile during his trip to Guangzhou.

The plane took off on time and landed smoothly at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport after a flight of more than two hours.

The moment I stepped out of the terminal, a humid and hot atmosphere hit me.

The climate in Lingnan is completely different from that in Chang'an. Even in early autumn, the air is still full of humidity and heat.

Xu Xing took a deep breath, savoring the unique atmosphere of this southern metropolis.

He did not inform Li Yuting that he had arrived.

The little girl is going to participate in the exchange competition tomorrow, and Professor Feng will definitely be keeping a close eye on her, so there's no need to distract her.

He took out his phone, opened the hotel page he had booked online, and found the hotel's chauffeur service contact information.

After the call was connected, he gave his order number and name in standard Mandarin, and the other party politely told him that the car was already waiting in the parking lot.

Following the directions, Xu Xing found the black Buick GL8. The driver was a local man in his thirties who spoke Mandarin with a Cantonese accent. He warmly helped him put his luggage away and then drove him to the hotel.

Located in Tianhe District, the heart of Huacheng City, the hotel is a five-star international chain brand.

Xu Xing booked an executive suite, which was on a very high floor. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered a view of Guangzhou's bustling skyline, with the Canton Tower shining brightly in the afternoon sun in the distance.

He stood by the window and looked at the scenery for a while, then took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

After settling in, he took out his phone and called Li Yuting.

The phone rang twice before being answered, and Li Yuting's surprised voice came from the other end: "Brother Xu! What made you think of calling me?"

"Guess where I am?"

Xu Xing leaned back on the sofa, a hint of a smile in his voice.

Li Yuting paused for a moment, then asked tentatively, "You...you're not in Huacheng, are you?"

"Just arrived, already checked into the hotel."

"real?!"

Li Yuting's voice instantly rose eight octaves, filled with undisguised excitement, "You really came to Huacheng?! Why didn't you tell me beforehand! I would have picked you up at the airport!"

"You're going to participate in the exchange competition, right? Professor Feng will definitely be keeping an eye on you, so I won't cause you any trouble."

Xu Xing laughed and said, "Let's get together properly after your competition."

"Oh dear, the competition is nothing compared to you..."

Li Yuting stopped mid-sentence, then reluctantly withdrew her words. "Fine, the teacher did give a strict order that I wasn't allowed to run around these two days, and I even had to hand over my phone. I was secretly carrying it with me when I received your call."

"Then you still dare to secretly hide your phone? Aren't you afraid of getting caught by Professor Feng?"

"Hehe, I hid it very well, the teacher won't be able to find it!"

Li Yuting's tone carried a hint of smugness, but it quickly turned somber. "But Brother Xu, I really can't go out these next two days. The exchange competition is tomorrow, and the teachers are keeping a very close eye on me..."

"It's okay, just focus on the game."

Xu Xing said gently, "After you finish your competition, we can take a good stroll around Huacheng."

"Okay! After my competition, I'll definitely spend a few days playing with you!"

Li Yuting's voice perked up again, "Brother Xu, which hotel are you staying at? I'll come find you after I'm released!"

Xu Xing gave her the hotel name and room number. Li Yuting wrote it down and chatted with him for a few more minutes until she heard Professor Feng urging her on the other end of the phone, at which point she hurriedly hung up.

Xu Xing put down his phone, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Li Yuting, that little girl, is as lively and adorable as ever.

He rested at the hotel for a while, then went downstairs and found an authentic Cantonese restaurant nearby. He ordered a plate of poached chicken, a plate of steamed sea bass, a plate of garlic bok choy, and a bowl of slow-cooked soup.

The cuisine of Lingnan truly lives up to its reputation; the ingredients are fresh, and the seasoning is light yet flavorful, preserving the natural freshness of the ingredients.

Xu Xing was very satisfied with his meal.

After dinner, he took a stroll around Tianhe District and experienced the nightlife of Guangzhou.

The city's nights are even more lively than Chang'an's, with neon lights flashing and crowds thronging the streets, and the aroma of various delicacies filling the air.

He didn't return to the hotel until after 9 p.m., took a shower, lay in bed and looked at his phone for a while before falling into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Xu Xing had breakfast at the hotel and then went to the front desk to rent a car.

He chose a black Toyota Prado, which is understated, practical, and suitable for long-distance driving.

After completing the formalities, he drove his car, navigated to Pingzhou Jade Street in Nanhai District of Foshan, and then drove out of Huacheng City and headed west along the highway.
