Chapter 57: Let Something Slip!

The matter came to a close.

The crowd gathered outside the kindergarten gradually dispersed.

As the setting sun cast its golden glow over the land, it elongated the shadows of the family of three.

“I’ll help, I’ll help!”

After handing Shen Jiayue into Han Xinyan’s arms, Shen Fei hurried to the electric bike.

Seeing Shen Fei’s actions, Han Xinyan was about to refuse, but the words got stuck in her throat.

Given Shen Fei’s recent behavior and the praise from the other parents, Han Xinyan couldn’t help but feel a bit surreal.

It had only been half a month; could Shen Fei really have changed his bad habits from the past few years?

Frowning slightly, she hugged Shen Jiayue and walked slowly toward Shen Fei.

“Shen Fei, next time, can you stay calm? What if you get detained and have a criminal record?”

Shen Fei steadied the electric bike, patted the seat, and said in a calm voice, “Xinyan, you and Jiayue are the ones I will protect with my life! How can I tolerate anyone bullying you both?”

Han Xinyan froze when she heard this.

If this had been ten days ago, she would have scoffed at those words.

Because Shen Fei was the same Shen Fei; after years of interaction, she could clearly tell whether he had really changed.

But now, Han Xinyan wasn’t so sure.

Everything that had just happened, combined with some of Shen Fei’s strange behavior earlier, kept swirling in her mind.

Could it be that this time, Shen Fei had really changed for good?

She exhaled a deep breath, trying to calm herself, with a hint of self-deprecation in her tone.

“You wouldn’t have said that before.”

“Heh, but that was before, right? No one is perfect!” Shen Fei smiled slyly, and seeing Han Xinyan’s expression soften, he immediately took the opportunity to speak more earnestly.

“Xinyan, let me say it again! My attitude is completely different now!”

“From now on, I won’t let you and Jiayue suffer any more! Whatever I lacked in the past in terms of how I treated you and Jiayue, I’ll make up for it slowly. Xinyan, please give me another chance! If you see that I’m failing, just bring out the divorce papers!”

“Now, let’s go home with Jiayue, okay? Keep an eye on me and see if I’ve really changed!”

Hearing this, Han Xinyan’s nose tingled.

Seeing the earnest look in Shen Fei’s eyes, she turned her head to the side.

“I’ll think about it.”

Not being outright rejected made Shen Fei very happy!

This meant Han Xinyan was willing to give him another chance and no longer resisted him.

“Jiayue, let’s go home!”

After placing Jiayue in the back seat, Han Xinyan spoke gently.

“Mommy, can we go back to daddy’s house? Jiayue wants to play with daddy!”

Shen Jiayue said in a sweet, childish voice.

“Jiayue, we can stay at our place too.”

Han Xinyan shook her head, firmly rejecting Jiayue’s request.

At that moment, Han Xinyan’s phone suddenly rang.

“Li Xinyan?”

“Sis, don’t come back tonight!” Han Li Xinyan spoke urgently.

“What happened?” Han Xinyan asked in confusion.

“Well, well, mom and dad are at your place! Sis, scold me if you want! It’s all my fault for telling them where you live last time!”

Han Li Xinyan sounded guilty.

Han Xinyan wasn’t in the mood to comfort her brother.

She had already guessed the reason her parents were visiting.

But she was sorry, she couldn’t comply!

“Don’t be too hard on yourself,” Han Xinyan said lightly.

“Sis, I’ll find a way to get them back home tonight! You and Jiayue should hide for a while!”

Han Li Xinyan hung up the phone after saying this.

Noticing Han Xinyan’s troubled look, Shen Fei immediately became concerned.

“Xinyan, what did Li Xinyan say?”

“It’s nothing,” Han Xinyan shook her head slightly.

She didn’t want Shen Fei to know about her family matters.

More importantly, she wasn’t sure how to explain it to him.

“Xinyan, look, it’s almost time for dinner! How about we all have dinner together?”

Shen Fei suggested.

When Shen Jiayue heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.

“Daddy, Jiayue wants to eat cola chicken wings, sweet and sour ribs, and braised pork! Jiayue also wants ice cream!”

“You little foodie!”

Shen Fei smiled affectionately as he rubbed Jiayue’s little nose.

“Alright, if Jiayue wants these dishes… how about Daddy cooks them?”

“Daddy’s cooking is the best!” Shen Jiayue cheered happily.

“Can you cook? I remember you’ve only been in the kitchen three times!” Han Xinyan exclaimed softly, her expression no longer cold.

“Of course I can! I’ll let you taste what real delicious food is like!”

Shen Fei crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow at Han Xinyan.

He then sat on the electric bike, “Get on! Let’s go home!”

The playful look from Shen Fei stirred something in Han Xinyan, and her heart began to race.

After hesitating for a while, she reluctantly picked up Jiayue and sat on the back seat.

Instead of taking them to the market, Shen Fei sent the mother and daughter back to their rental house, then rode off to the market alone.

After buying the ingredients, Shen Fei went straight to the kitchen.

Watching Shen Fei bustle about in the kitchen, Han Xinyan felt a bit lost in thought.

If Shen Fei had shown just a fraction of this behavior before, she might not have been so adamant about getting a divorce…

Meanwhile, in the Jiang family’s mansion.

Jiang Tiancheng was sitting with the elderly Mr. Jiang, watching TV.

When they brought up Shen Fei again, Jiang Tiancheng couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

As he spoke, he accidentally let slip the news that Shen Fei was planning to short-sell Kong’s Group.

When Mr. Jiang, the former city official, heard this, his expression immediately turned serious.

“Grandpa, don’t you think Shen Fei’s approach is impressive? Forty million—just like that!”

Jiang Tiancheng didn’t notice the change in Mr. Jiang’s demeanor and continued to praise Shen Fei.

Not getting a response, he looked at Jiang Anbang.

“Grandpa, what’s on your mind?”

Jiang Anbang looked stunned.

“You mean, he wants to use the 40 million he earned to short-sell Kong’s Group? And he’s even pulling you all into this?”

“Yeah! Now that I think about it, Shen Fei must be crazy! Look at how rapidly Kong’s Group is growing! And Shen Fei actually wants to short it? Isn’t that insane?” Jiang Tiancheng said jokingly.

After hearing this explanation, Jiang Anbang’s expression remained grave.

As a former city official, he had always been upright and received much respect for his integrity.

He was also aware of the things the supervisory office was investigating.

The office was about to close in on their targets.

Once this information came to light, not only would Tian Sheng Hotel be gone, but Kong’s Group would also be investigated.

And all of this was happening in secret!

How would a powerless person like Shen Fei even know about this?

If he had to rely on intuition to explain the situation with the Little Royal Court, Jiang Anbang could turn a blind eye.

But this matter? It seemed impossible to explain just with intuition!

“Tiancheng, can you invite Shen Fei to our home? I need to have a word with this young man.”

“Ah? This—”

Jiang Tiancheng looked at Jiang Anbang in confusion.

What was going on here?

“This? Can it be done?” Jiang Anbang asked.

“This… Of course! Don’t worry, Grandpa! If you ask for it, I’ll make sure Shen Fei comes to our home!” Jiang Tiancheng patted his chest, though still confused, he didn’t ask further.
