After Returning Home, The Female CEO Actually Gave Me A Daughter Section 31

And Shen Qingyan seemed to understand Tang Chen's gaze, raising her other hand to rest it on Tang Yao's head.

For a moment, all three of them wore faint smiles.

Just as they were about to walk out, Tang Chen suddenly stopped.

Without turning his head, he said, "This teacher is extremely irresponsible toward my daughter, but I can't be bothered to deal with it anymore. I'll have someone come by later to handle the transfer..."

After saying that, they continued on their way.

"Mr. Tang, Mrs. Tang, take care!"

Qian Teng had intended to see them out, but watching their retreating figures, he felt it would be inappropriate to follow any further. He could only stand there and call out after them.

Once they had left, Qian Teng finally let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Thank goodness!

The other party's anger hadn't spread too far.

Otherwise, if they said they were pulling their investment and not funding it anymore, then the entire investment promotion office would probably have to be buried alongside Chen Xianyun...

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Qian Teng broke out in another cold sweat down his back, and his anger flared up even more. He glared at the family over there, who had nearly devolved into a brawl, and cursed, "You useless piece of trash, do you even know who you've pissed off?"

"I damn near got dragged down with you!"

"Idiot!"

After that torrent of abuse, Qian Teng violently flicked his sleeve and turned to leave, even forgetting his son.

"Dad, wait for me..."

Shao Qing saw this and quickly chased after him. "Director Qian..."

"Director Qian!"

"Is your son here with us? Our place is really good—if he is, I'll handle the paperwork for you right away..."

Qian Teng stopped abruptly, stared at Shao Qing, and sneered, "You still have the nerve to ask me that? With a teacher like yours... I'm afraid I wouldn't even know how my son died if he stayed here! Your temple is too big for a small fry like me and my son to set foot in!"

With that, Qian Teng grabbed Qian Xiaogang and stormed off, leaving Shao Qing standing there dumbfounded.

Seeing that everyone had left, leaving only the ruined Chen family of three, Lin Fen let out a sigh of relief.

Everything that had just happened felt like a roller coaster, and her heart had been rising and falling with it.

But thankfully, none of it had anything to do with her.

She felt a little smug, then somewhat presumptuously thought that it shouldn't have involved her anyway—she hadn't done anything wrong.

Just then, Shao Qing came back.

His face was twisted with rage. The moment he stepped inside, he pointed at Lin Fen and roared, "Tell me, what exactly have you been doing at work all day? Taking your salary, with the kindergarten paying your social insurance and housing fund, and you just come here to coast through the days?"

"Principal, I..."

"Save your excuses! I'm telling you, you're fired. Now, immediately, right this second, pack your things and get the hell out!"

"Principal, I know I was wrong, please don't fire me, I'm begging you..."

"And I'm begging you—just... get... the hell... out!!!"

Shao Qing's roar was hysterical.

Lin Fen, who had just been secretly relieved, found herself on another roller coaster and collapsed onto the floor.

"Security! Security!"

Shao Qing pointed at her, and then at the Chen family of three still brawling over there. "Throw every single one of them out!!!"

I wish time would freeze forever at this moment! The father of President Shen's child?! 10 updates, please bookmark.

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class pulled away from the kindergarten entrance.

Lin Fen, in the driver's seat, glanced at Tang Chen, intensely curious about his identity, but as a driver, she clearly knew the meaning of silence.

Shen Qingyan sat on the left, Tang Chen on the right, with Tang Yao in the middle.

Shen Qingyan turned her head slightly, her eyes catching a glimpse of Tang Chen and Tang Yao, father and daughter, from the corner of her eye, a smile lingering at the corners of her mouth.

If she could, she wished time would freeze forever at this moment.

Because in her view, the best kind of life might just look like this...

She was still shaken inside.

She knew Qian Teng.

As Investment Promotion Director, his rank wasn't high, but his power was immense. Many business tycoons fawned over him just for a chance to be introduced or connected.

Especially now, after the Shengtang Group's investment decision had been announced, countless people were sending him gifts every day. The threshold of his home was practically worn down from visitors.

Yet in front of Tang Chen, he was so deferential—almost bowing and scraping...

Just who was Tang Chen, to elicit such a reaction from someone like that?

She couldn't quite figure it out.

But Shen Qingyan gave a slight shake of her head and didn't dwell on it further.

She didn't care about any of that.

The only thing she cared about was Tang Chen himself.

It had nothing to do with his background or identity!

"Dad, you were so cool just now!"

Tang Yao rubbed her forehead against Tang Chen's chin, her voice soft and childish.

Tang Chen patted Tang Yao's back and chuckled lightly.

"Thank you for that."

Shen Qingyan looked at Tang Chen and said with a light smile.

Meeting her gaze, Tang Chen shook his head. "It's all my fault."

"If it weren't for me, Yaoyao wouldn't have had to suffer for so long."

Hearing this, Tang Yao pressed herself against Tang Chen, nuzzling him and shaking her head repeatedly. "It's not Dad's fault! Yaoyao isn't suffering. It's enough that Dad is back now."

Her voice was soft and weak.

Tang Chen held his daughter tightly in his arms.

She was too well-behaved.

So well-behaved that it magnified the guilt in Tang Chen's heart endlessly...

Watching the father and daughter embrace, Shen Qingyan sniffled, tears glistening in her beautiful eyes.

Tang Chen looked at her, flashed a handsome, gentle smile, and opened his other arm.

Shen Qingyan froze, silent for a long moment, but eventually bent down and leaned in.

But.

She didn't fall into Tang Chen's arms. Instead, from another angle, she hugged Tang Yao.

Though Shen Qingyan had already chosen to face her feelings for Tang Chen head-on...

For now, it was still a little too fast...

From the rearview mirror, Lin Fen watched the three of them embracing.

Her heart felt like a storm had been unleashed.

This man was the father of President Shen's child, the one who had been absent all these years?!

Linhai Villa, Building 21.

It was already evening when Tang Chen returned home with Shen Qingyan and her daughter.

Stepping inside, Tang Chen set Tang Yao down.

The little girl, familiar with the routine, started changing her shoes on her own.

Meanwhile, Shen Qingyan bent down, took a pair of women's slippers from the shoe cabinet, and placed them at Tang Chen's feet.
