Chapter 126: Drafty Little Cotton Padded Jacket!

“Yeah, 300,000 isn’t small… and now, it’s all gone…”

Li Biao, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly murmured.

Little did he know that as soon as he spoke, he immediately became the target of frustration for the village representatives.

One of the young and strong men grabbed Li Biao by the collar.

“Fk, you still have the nerve to talk! Who do you blame? It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, would our village have sold the land? If it weren’t for you, I’d be a millionaire by now! Damn!!!”

…

At Yunhe Villa.

After finishing the call and activating the call blocker, Shen Fei tossed his phone aside.

He continued to watch several episodes of Bears and Beasts with his daughter, and it wasn’t until Han Xinyan came out of the bathroom that he noticed her.

Having just showered, Han Xinyan’s skin was as smooth as porcelain, soft and delicate.

A light flush appeared on her cheeks, making her look irresistibly cute.

Seeing this, Shen Fei couldn’t tear his eyes away. He swallowed hard, his thoughts already wandering.

“Yueyue, it’s bedtime! Go shower with Mommy, okay?”

Han Xinyan seemed to have already accepted Shen Fei’s words. She said casually, “Yueyue, it’s time to go to bed.”

“Mom, Yueyue wants to watch a little longer!” The little girl, still glued to the large TV screen, looked reluctant.

“No more watching! Otherwise, you’ll sleep in tomorrow! Little lazy cat!” Han Xinyan laughed.

“Yueyue is not a little lazy cat!” the girl retorted with a soft, childish voice.

She kissed Shen Fei, then jumped off the sofa.

“Daddy, Yueyue is going to take a shower!”

“Okay, go ahead!”

Shen Fei smiled and nodded, his heart warmed by the kiss from his daughter.

Once in the bathroom, Shen Jiayue became completely absorbed in the shower. She lingered until she was nearly dozing off in the tub before finally getting out.

After drying off, Shen Jiayue had already fallen asleep.

“Yueyue is asleep?” Shen Fei whispered as Han Xinyan tiptoed out of the room.

“She’s sleeping soundly!”

Han Xinyan smiled as she looked at their peacefully sleeping daughter.

“Ah Yan, do you want to explore our home? It’s huge!”

Shen Fei said playfully.

After showing Han Xinyan around the house, they arrived at the balcony.

Even though they had already seen the night view of Deep City once, Han Xinyan was still in awe when she saw it again.

“Shen Fei, I still feel like this isn’t real, like I’m dreaming. Everything is too beautiful, too surreal!” Han Xinyan said softly.

“Ah Yan, this is all real! How could it be a dream? If you don’t believe me, pinch me and see if it’s real.”

“In the future, I’ll give you and Yueyue a better life! You’ll just enjoy the good life! There will be bread, there will be milk, everything will be provided!”

As he spoke, Shen Fei slowly wrapped his arms around Han Xinyan from behind.

The scent of shower gel filled the air, and Han Xinyan was caught off guard when Shen Fei embraced her. She gasped quietly but didn’t push him away, only shrugging slightly.

“Enjoying life isn’t what matters! The most important thing is that we’re a complete family and we’re happy! I think things are already great! You’ve stopped gambling and drinking, and everything is slowly getting better!”

Han Xinyan said softly.

“I know what you want! It’s all my fault for being such a jerk before! I hurt you and Yueyue so much! From now on, I will make it up to both of you!”

Shen Fei said with guilt.

“So, can we return to the time when you were the young man in his prime, full of ambition? The Shen Fei I saw then was the best version of you!”

Han Xinyan hesitated for a long time before speaking softly.

“I will! Ah Yan, I promise I won’t be like I was three years ago! You have to trust me, I will work hard to improve!”

Shen Fei buried his face in her neck.

The night deepened.

Looking at the peaceful night view of Deep City, Han Xinyan felt deeply moved.

She really wanted to tell Shen Fei how happy she had been during this time!

Even though they were living in a rented house, her heart was so full of happiness that it was about to overflow.

Turning her head to look at Han Xinyan’s touched profile and her soft, curvaceous figure illuminated by the lights, Shen Fei’s hands began to roam.

It had been two years since they last had any physical contact.

As his cold hands made contact with her warmth, Han Xinyan couldn’t help but shiver.

Her cheeks turned red, and she lowered her head shyly, gently biting her pink lips.

But fate didn’t favor them.

“Daddy, Mommy, Yueyue had a nightmare!”

A childish voice interrupted their tender moment.

Han Xinyan was startled, quickly pushing Shen Fei’s hands away and breaking free from his embrace.

Unbeknownst to them, Shen Jiayue had appeared behind them, looking drowsy.

In that instant, Han Xinyan felt a little guilty.

“Yueyue, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you wearing shoes? Are your feet cold?”

“Mommy, Yueyue wants to sleep with Mommy!” Shen Jiayue pouted.

“Okay, Mommy will sleep with Yueyue now!”

Han Xinyan hurriedly picked up the little girl, helplessly laughing.

Just as they were about to leave, Shen Fei called out in a wronged tone,

“Ah Yan…”

“Hmm?”

Han Xinyan turned around, and when she saw the expression in Shen Fei’s eyes, she laughed helplessly.

Her cheeks flushed, and she turned her head, softly saying, “Another time.”

“Another time?”

Shen Fei thought to himself, It would be fine after I put Yueyue to sleep!

But seeing Han Xinyan, he just nodded.

“Yueyue will have trouble sleeping in a new environment!”

With that, Han Xinyan turned and walked away, holding Yueyue without looking back.

Looking at the door as it closed, Shen Fei sighed in defeat.

His drafty little cotton padded jacket.

Forget it, forget it! Ah Yan softening her heart is a good thing!

Not wanting to dwell on it, Shen Fei finished washing up and lay down on the bed.

Opening WeChat, he saw several notifications from his Moments.

The person posting them was his middle school classmate, Su Ruyan.

A complicated look flashed across his face, but he quickly scrolled past it.

Just as he was about to exit his Moments, the page refreshed.

Su Ruyan had just posted a new update.

The picture showed Su Ruyan holding a piece of paper.

The caption read: “If love lasts long, does it matter the morning and evening?”

It was obviously a sign of infatuation.

Shen Fei couldn’t help but think back to the message Su Ruyan had sent him earlier that day.

It wasn’t that he was overthinking things.

After all, he had seen Su Ruyan in the morning, and now, in the evening, he was seeing her update on Moments.

But Shen Fei furrowed his brows.

“I hope she has some morals!”

He sighed and turned off his phone.

This wasn’t fun at all!
