Chapter 260: Chapter 260 Expensive Substitute Driving Fee

At home.

The kids had finished dinner.

They were quite cooperative and understanding.

Yuxin knew her cooking skills couldn’t compare to Xiao Fei’s.

The kids, who had grown up eating food prepared by Xiao Fei, naturally weren’t accustomed to anyone else’s cooking, even if it was their mother’s.

Yet, despite this, the kids didn’t complain or fuss. Instead, they finished everything she had cooked.

After dinner, Yuxin played with the kids in the living room.

However, the atmosphere was noticeably dull tonight. The kids were lethargic and listless, even when playing their favorite games, showing none of their usual enthusiasm.

"What’s wrong, kids?"

Noticing this, Yuxin asked softly.

"Mom..."

Da Bao pouted, looking a little upset.

"I miss Dad. Why isn’t he home yet?"

"Mom, I miss Dad too..."

"Me too."

Er Bao and Sanbao chimed in. Sanbao’s eyes were already red, her voice tinged with sobs.

Yuxin froze for a moment before realizing that this was the first evening Xiao Fei hadn’t been home since the kids could remember.

Although he hadn’t gone far, though it was merely a traffic delay on his way home, the atmosphere at home had changed drastically.

The kids looked around; the house was still the same house, and their mom was still there.

But Dad wasn’t.

It unsettled them deeply, leaving them quite scared.

Understanding this, Yuxin suddenly felt conflicted.

Apparently, Xiao Fei held a place in the kids’ hearts that far exceeded hers.

"Dad’s just stuck in traffic and will be home soon."

"Mom, can we go pick up Dad?"

Da Bao asked again, "Otherwise, Dad will be lonely out there by himself."

Boohoo, kids, Mom really wants to see Dad too.

Yuxin sighed inwardly.

While comforting the kids, Yuxin glanced at the clock on the wall.

Honey, I even prepared a romantic candlelit dinner for the two of us... Hurry and come home...

...

"Handsome guy, are you planning to buy a private plane?"

While grumbling inwardly, Zhang Xiaoya maintained a radiant smile on her face.

But her radiant demeanor didn’t appeal to Xiao Fei in the slightest, nor did he bother to acknowledge her.

Seeing Xiao Fei ignore her, Zhang Xiaoya bit her lip in frustration.

"What should I do, Lv Ping? This guy is so unapproachable."

She turned to her companion for help.

Lv Ping nearly exploded with irritation at Zhang Xiaoya.

She reached out and poked Zhang Xiaoya’s forehead hard.

"Is it you who wants a man, or is it me?"

"What’s this? Are you asking me to step in and handle it for you?"

"No way!"

Zhang Xiaoya hastily shook her head, worried that if Lv Ping intervened, she’d stand no chance herself.

What a perfect demonstration of their superficial friendship.

"You’re utterly hopeless!"

"Weren’t you pretty bold when stealing someone from Tang Yuxin?"

On the street, Xiao Fei’s gaze suddenly sharpened.

The sensory enhancement brought by the Cleansing Marrow Pill made it easy for him to hear nearby whispers, even on a noisy main road.

He caught the full exchange between the two women.

At first, he didn’t think much of it, but now, it was different.

Tang Yuxin?

His wife?

Could it merely be someone with the same name?

Come to think of it, Xiao Fei had never paid much attention to Yuxin’s past romantic history. After all, he knew one thing clearly—that they had both shared their first times with each other.

Although Yuxin seemed as aloof and elegant as a Snow Ridge flower, her actual personality, silly and innocent like a deer, put Xiao Fei’s worries to rest.

He glanced inside the BMW at the two women and then chuckled softly.

Even if they were talking about his wife, so what?

She’s his woman now, the mother of his three children.

Thinking this, Xiao Fei shook his head quietly.

Just then, the driving service called.

Xiao Fei answered the call while scanning his surroundings.

Before long, he spotted a man in a driving uniform, sitting on a foldable electric scooter, looking for him.

"Over here."

Xiao Fei waved his hand, immediately catching the driver’s attention, who quickly folded his scooter and sprinted over.

"Sir, are you the one who requested a driver?"

The driver looked at Xiao Fei’s Land Rover Defender with envy.

Though not as mainstream as BMW or Mercedes, Land Rover was undeniably a luxury brand.

"I need you to drive my car for me, and I’ll borrow your scooter. I’m in a hurry to get home."

As soon as Xiao Fei said this, the driver hesitated.

Their pay was calculated per ride, and in these traffic conditions, how much time would it cost him to drive this car to its destination?

In that time, he could have taken several other jobs.

Xiao Fei wasn’t about to force the issue. He asked, "How much do you typically earn from driving in a day?"

"Three or four hundred yuan, sir."

"I’ll give you a thousand. Just get my car back to its destination for me."

Hearing this, the driver’s hesitation vanished instantly.

He didn’t make that much money in a whole day of driving work.

"No problem, sir!"

"Leave it to me; the scooter’s all yours!"

"Good."

Xiao Fei nodded.

"I’ve set the destination in the driving app. Just park my car at the security office in the community and retrieve your scooter there later."

"Got it, sir! Ride safely!"

After a generous payment, the driver’s attitude made a complete turnaround.

Watching Xiao Fei leave on the scooter, Zhang Xiaoya immediately grew flustered inside her BMW.

Unfortunately for her, before she could say anything else, Xiao Fei had already sped off with the wind at his back.

Later that night, as the sky grew completely dark and stars filled the heavens, Xiao Fei finally returned to Star Moon Bay.

He left the scooter at the security office and explained his situation before asking them to arrange for a neighborhood patrol car.

After all, Star Moon Bay was rather expansive, and walking from the entrance to his villa would take some time.

One of the guards drove the patrol car and quickly delivered Xiao Fei to his doorstep.

Rushing inside, Xiao Fei flung the front door open and entered the house.

The lights in the living room were on, and the massive television mounted on the wall was playing a show.

Other than that, the house was completely silent.

Judging by the time, the kids were already asleep.

As for Yuxin...

Xiao Fei’s gaze instantly landed on his wife, asleep on the couch armrest.

Feeling a pang of tenderness, Xiao Fei walked over to Yuxin’s side and crouched to gaze at her exquisite sleeping face.

Her small and adorable nose twitched gently with each breath.

Her beautifully curled and even lashes fluttered from time to time.

Shaking his head, Xiao Fei gently picked Yuxin up in his arms.

Just as he was about to carry her to the bedroom, Yuxin suddenly opened her eyes.

Seeing Xiao Fei, a wave of grievance washed over Yuxin.

Stretching her arms out, she wrapped them tightly around Xiao Fei’s neck.

She clung to him, fiercely and unrelentingly.
