His wife was still waiting for him and his daughter at home.

She must be worried about them going back so late.

Oh right, the 15,000 yuan in his bag was still there. This money would prove to Xu Xinrong that he had changed.

Jiang Bei’s heart finally brightened a little. Although the pain in his body made it hard, he could still hold on.

He had to…

He had to bring his daughter and the good news back.

Jiang Bei held onto the handrail of the stairs. The burning pain in his chest made the sweat on his forehead fall continuously down his face. Even taking a step was so difficult.

“Daddy, what’s wrong? Do you want to rest?” Wanwan couldn’t help but ask when she saw Jiang Bei’s strange behavior.

“I am fine. There’s no need to rest. We still have to go home to give mommy a surprise, don’t we?” Jiang Bei grinned.

“Okay!” Wanwan nodded heavily in agreement.

The two slowly went up the stairs.

Wanwan would run up from time to time, shouting “good luck” to her father below. Then, she would follow behind Jiang Bei as they climbed up the next flight of stairs, she would even gently push Jiang Bei, helping him with her small body.

Looking at his sensible and obedient daughter, Jiang Bei felt warm in his heart. Especially when he thought about what would happen next, he gritted his teeth and continued climbing.

He would prove to his wife that he had changed. He took Wanwan to the park, accompanied her on Children’d Day, as well as made a lot of money.

Jiang Bei understood that Xu Xinrong was not a woman who cared about money. Otherwise, with her looks, she would not have married him when she had many better choices.

All he wanted to show was that he had changed.

Xu Xinrong only wanted a normal and peaceful life for the family.

It was such a simple request. However, Jiang Bei only realized it after Wanaan and Xu Xinrong left him forever.

Although his house was only on the third floor, Jiang Bei was almost exhausted when he reached the door. The physical pain was nothing because his daughter was beside him and the cloth bag on his back had filled Jiang Bei’s heart.

Jiang Bei took out the key from his trouser pocket. His hand trembled as he slowly opened the door.

The fluorescent lights in the room were a little dazzling. Jiang Bei narrowed his eyes and finally saw the image of the woman sitting on the long bench in the living room, waiting for him and Wanwan to return home.

“Mommy!” Wanwan had already run into the room. She smiled and threw herself into Xu Xinrong’s arms.

“Wanwan.” Xu Xinrong gently carried her daughter, but her voice sounded a little dry and hoarse.

“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Wanwan raised her head and asked Xu Xinrong.

“I am fine..” Xu Xinrong said softly with a bitter smile on her face.

From the moment they entered the house until now, her gaze had never even landed on Jiang Bei. She did not care if he looked disheveled or if something had happened today.

However, Jiang Bei saw that Xu Xinrong was different. She seemed to have cried, and her eyes were a little puffy. Her voice confirmed his suspicions.

After entering the house, Jiang Bei sat on the chair beside the dining table. He was a little conflicted and did not know how to speak to Xu Xinrong.

Actually, he wanted to enter the house to change his clothes, but he was afraid that he would not be able to stay awake.

“Mommy, daddy brought me to the park today.” Wanwan waved her little hand in Xu Xinrong’s arms and said excitedly.

“Really? Was it fun?” Xu Xinrong asked as she gently combed Wanwan’s messy hair.

“It’s fun! There are so many people in the park today. It’s a pity that you didn’t see it. Otherwise, you would have been very happy. Daddy and I are both very happy,” Wanwan replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Xu Xinrong finally glanced at Jiang Bei.

She turned her head and her brows furrowed slightly.

At this moment, Jiang Bei looked like a beggar. His clothes were torn and covered in dust. His face was also covered in water and dust.

“Is this how you brought Wanwan to the park?” Xu Xinrong asked quietly.

“Xinrong, no, listen to me…” Jiang Bei quickly stood up. In this short period of time, he had recovered some of his strength.

Then, he slowly took off his backpack and put it on the table.

“Xinrong, I promised you the other day. I did it, and I earned money. I went to paint by the street and earned some money. Today is Children’s Day, so I didn’t waste it. I earned money, I earned a lot,” Jiang Bei said hurriedly.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and slowly walked over with the cloth bag in his arms. He wanted to show Xu Xinrong the money that he made today.

He couldn’t help but imagine the smile that Xu Xinrong would give him when she saw the money.. If she saw that he had really changed…
