Don't Lie to Your Therapist—She Already Knows Your Fate

"Maybe you were just off upgrading, System?" Wen Ying brushed it off.

Sometime after noon, estimating that Wen Ying should be waking up from her nap.

Qin Hanyun came to the clinic alone.

Wen Ying wasn’t surprised to see Qin Hanyun.

This was also what Qin Hanyun had expected. After all, Doctor Wen was no ordinary doctor. The events of the past few days had made him keenly aware of how shallow his understanding of the world truly was.

Dominating the business world relied on intellect, connections, and profits.

But if the world was changing, would the things he took pride in still be enough to keep him at the top?

The answer was unknown.

On his way over, Qin Hanyun bought Doctor Wen a shaved ice with strawberry and watermelon.

For the sake of the delicious-looking strawberry shaved ice, Wen Ying let Qin Hanyun sit down and told him he could ask whatever he wanted, but she made no promises about answering.

Qin Hanyun thought for a moment. "Doctor Wen, regarding my niece Chaochao, I must thank you no matter what. If it weren’t for you, she might have become just a speck of dust in the world below."

Wen Ying accepted his gratitude.

"But I’ve been thinking about it, and I still want to ask: what will happen to Chaochao in the world below? When will my sister be able to see her again?"

Wen Ying took a bite of the shaved ice. The sweet flavor seemed to clear her thoughts.

’No wonder girls love cold drinks and desserts.’

She liked them too.

"Mr. Qin, I’m just a psychologist. Why would you assume I know about things down below?"

This was the truth.

Mr. Qin felt a flicker of strangeness, but his expression didn’t betray it. "I was being presumptuous. The world above and the world below are not the same, after all. I was overthinking things."

"I know what you’re trying to get at. But I’m just a psychologist in the Mortal World. As for the world below... perhaps everyone has their own understanding of it. I’m certainly not qualified to be a psychologist for those down there. With Chaochao, it was only because I had a prior connection with her, combined with the situation with Chaochao’s mother, that I was able to glimpse the tip of the iceberg. The only thing I can say is that Chaochao’s mother should take care of herself and live well. Perhaps then there will be a chance for them to meet again."

"Thank you, Doctor Wen. The Qin Family is deeply indebted to you for your immense kindness, and I will never forget it."

Wen Ying nodded and continued to eat.

"If you have any other questions, ask them all now. Who knows when we’ll see each other again."

Wen Ying’s words made Qin Hanyun freeze. ’Does Doctor Wen know I’m leaving?’

’Is Doctor Wen leaving too?’

But he knew these were pointless questions, better left unasked.

"In that case... has the world been undergoing some kind of unknown change?"

Hearing Qin Hanyun get to the heart of the matter, Wen Ying took a deliberate bite of her shaved ice, then looked up at him.

"I’ll say it again: I’m just a psychologist. How could I possibly know about something so significant?"

Qin Hanyun listened, a little disappointed. It seemed Doctor Wen was unwilling to tell him.

"But," she added, "it might be necessary to take some precautions in advance."

A jolt went through Qin Hanyun. Dozens of preventative measures flashed through his mind, but he ultimately dismissed them all.

"Doctor Wen, the items in your clinic... am I free to purchase any of them?"

Wen Ying glanced at the items displayed on the wooden shelves. All in all, there were only about twenty left.

"No. Mr. Qin, you are limited to five items," Wen Ying said, looking at Qin Hanyun seriously.

Qin Hanyun nodded and quickly selected five things: a small wooden sword, a small knife, an unfamiliar postcard, an irregularly shaped stone, and a doll that appeared to be the largest item there.

Watching Qin Hanyun make his selections, Wen Ying quickly spoke up to remind him, "Mr. Qin, I should warn you, a bulk purchase like this costs much more than buying items individually. This is a fair, voluntary transaction. Once the money is paid, there are no refunds."

Qin Hanyun smiled and nodded. It was only at this moment that he felt Wen Ying was like a normal young woman.

Before, he had been awed by the power and mystery she projected. He’d always felt Doctor Wen was aloof and untouchable. While not entirely otherworldly, she was certainly different from ordinary people.

But now, Doctor Wen really just seemed like a young woman in her early twenties.

"Is five million enough?" Qin Hanyun asked, stunning Wen Ying, who had been about to say three million.

’Five million?’

She thought three million was already a huge profit.

"Isn’t five million a bit..." Wen Ying didn’t get to finish before she heard Qin Hanyun continue.

"If it’s not enough, I can add more. Ten million?"

"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood me. I feel five million is quite enough."

"Good. Doctor Wen, if you’ll please give me your account number, I’ll have someone transfer the money to your account."

At that moment, Wen Ying was still lost in thought. ’Is five million really not a lot? Isn’t three million a fortune?’

"Look at you, Host! What an embarrassment to this system! Are you forgetting you’re already a hundred-million... oh, wait, a ten-millionaire?!"

Getting all worked up over a measly five million.

So petty.

Wen Ying ignored it. The system had already skimmed eighty percent of the ten million from Jiang Zhengyi right after it arrived. This five million was all hers!

With this money, she could buy some better materials instead of having to find such shoddy, cheap stuff.

’The bitter tears I’ve cried!’

When Wen Ying heard the notification that five million had been deposited, she felt like she’d grown a few centimeters taller!

"Mr. Qin, you are my first VIP client of this magnitude. Let me give you a few ’prescriptions’ as a bonus."

Qin Hanyun nodded eagerly. "Thank you, Doctor Wen."

Getting something from Doctor Wen, whether it was medicine or not, was surely a priceless, unobtainable treasure.

He had gotten the better end of this deal.

You could only say they both got what they needed.

"Chaochao’s mother’s Nezha can be used two more times. This time, I can give her a calming prescription to prevent any adverse effects from emotional distress. Mr. Qin, you have elders in your family, so let’s add two more calming prescriptions for them."

As Wen Ying spoke, Qin Hanyun watched her take a ballpoint pen from her hair bun and start doodling on a sheet of Yellow Paper.

Soon, the three... ’prescriptions’ were ready.

Qin Hanyun had been standing at a distance, afraid of disturbing Doctor Wen. Now he walked closer.

He saw three ’prescriptions’ on the desk.

The first ’prescription’ was... a braided red string bracelet.

’Wasn’t that a ballpoint pen? Does it have a color function?’

The second ’prescription’ was... a five-pointed star charm, strung on a red string.

The red string was red; after seeing the first ’prescription,’ Qin Hanyun could understand that much.

But the five-pointed star charm???

He hadn’t dared to blink just now and had watched clearly. Doctor Wen hadn’t switched pens at all.

The five-pointed star was a fluorescent, glowing color.

’So this ballpoint pen comes with a color-changing feature?’

The third ’prescription’... was also a charm, but this one was round and glowing. ’It looks like the sun?’

Seeing Qin Hanyun’s gaze linger there, Wen Ying explained—
