Lin Feng returned to his residence, quickly packed a few pieces of clothing, and drove to the kindergarten to pick up his daughter, Lin Keke. In the evening of City A, the traffic was bustling, and the city lights began to glow, creating a stark contrast between the vibrant chaos of the metropolis and the calmness within him at that moment.
“Daddy!” As soon as she saw Lin Feng, Lin Keke ran towards him and jumped into his arms.
Lin Feng lifted his daughter and kissed her on the cheek. “Keke, did you miss Daddy?”
“I did!” Lin Keke nodded vigorously, her big eyes sparkling with joy. “Daddy, when are you coming home? Mommy said you’re very busy with work and it’ll take a long time for you to come back.”
Lin Feng's heart trembled slightly. He avoided his daughter's questioning gaze and gently said, “Daddy is done with work now. From now on, I’ll stay at home with Keke, okay?”
“Really?” Lin Keke's eyes lit up instantly. She hugged Lin Feng's neck tightly, as if afraid he would suddenly disappear. “That’s great! Daddy, let’s make a pinky promise!”
Lin Feng extended his pinky finger, sealing the promise with his daughter. Looking at her innocent smile, he felt a mix of emotions—guilt towards her and confusion about the future.
On the way home, Lin Feng received a call from Lawyer Wang, who informed him that Chen Qiang had been arrested by the police for suspected economic crimes, and Liu Liuwen had also been taken in as a related person to assist in the investigation. After hearing this, Lin Feng simply responded with a faint “mm” before hanging up.
He knew that all of this was Chen Qiang's own doing, but Liu Liuwen, as an accomplice, would also have to pay for her actions. He didn’t know how to explain all of this to his daughter or how to face the life ahead.
Once home, Lin Feng settled his daughter and began to deal with the upcoming matters. He contacted his company to process his resignation and transferred all his assets from abroad back to the country. He knew he needed to create a new sky for his daughter and give her a complete home.
A few days later, Liu Liuwen was released on bail by the police. Dragging her weary body back home, she was stunned to see Lin Feng playing with their daughter in the living room.
"You... how could you be here?" Liu Liuwen's voice was a bit hoarse, filled with surprise and unease.
Lin Feng put down the toy in his hand, stood up, and walked in front of Liu Liuwen, calmly saying, "This is my home, and it's also Keke's home. Why shouldn't I be here?"
Liu Liuwen's expression changed slightly; she lowered her head, unable to meet Lin Feng's gaze, murmuring, "I'm sorry, I..."
"You don't need to apologize to me," Lin Feng interrupted Liu Liuwen, "I know this isn't all your fault; you are also a victim."
Liu Liuwen looked up in surprise at Lin Feng. She didn't expect that after such betrayal, he could still speak to her so calmly.
"I'm back this time to talk about the divorce," Lin Feng's voice was calm but struck like a heavy blow to Liu Liuwen's heart. "I've already asked a lawyer to draft the divorce agreement; take a look."
Lin Feng took out two copies of the document from his briefcase and handed them to Liu Liuwen. Trembling, she accepted the papers and opened them, tears immediately streaming down her face.
In the divorce agreement, Lin Feng voluntarily gave up most of his assets and only requested custody of their daughter, Lin Keke.
"Lin Feng, you..." Liu Liuwen choked on her words, unable to say a complete sentence.
"I know you still feel guilty and want to make it up to me," Lin Feng looked at Liu Liuwen with a complex expression. "But right now, I don't need anything. I just want to give Keke a complete home—a home without lies and betrayal."
