Urban Cultivation: Starting with Winning Back My Wife and Daughter

"Dad, you really came to pick me up?"

Xiao Xin'er came out of the classroom with a small schoolbag on her back, her cute little face full of surprise.

Wang Xingyu felt incredibly ashamed, realizing he had been a terrible father.

He picked up Xiaoxin'er and said, "From now on, Daddy will pick you up every day, okay?"

Xiao Xin'er clapped her hands happily and said, "That's great!"

Seeing the little girl's smile, Wang Xingyu suddenly felt a sense of contentment, as if "having a daughter makes everything alright." The father and daughter left the school happily.

"Dad, did you get a new car?"

Xiao Xin'er climbed into Wang Xingyu's Volkswagen T-Cross, glanced around, and asked a question.

Wang Xingyu said, "This is Uncle Shi's car. Dad's car broke down, so we're getting it ready for tomorrow."

Buy a new car.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xin'er immediately perked up and asked, "Is it a new blue car?"

Wang Xingyu knew the little girl's favorite color was sapphire blue, so he replied, "That's right. From now on, Daddy will drive your blue car to and from school, okay?"

Little Xin'er shouted, "Long live Daddy!"

"Hahaha"

Wang Xingyu laughed loudly.

On their way home, the father and daughter stopped at the supermarket and bought some vegetables and fruit.

Wang Xingyu and Lin Yuxi live in a place called Sunshine Community, which is a relatively high-end community where the price is about 60,000 yuan per square meter.

The couple bought a 120-square-meter apartment in one go, spending a total of about eight million yuan, including parking space and renovations, and also taking out a loan of more than five million yuan.

At the time of the divorce, there were still about three million yuan left to pay off.

Lin Yuxi's monthly salary is less than 30,000 yuan, so you can imagine how heavy her daily burden is.

Upon arriving at apartment 901 in Building 3, Wang Xingyu pressed the electronic lock a few times.

Squeak!

The door opened.

Even after being divorced for so long, Lin Yuxi hasn't changed the password for her electronic lock.

Stepping inside, all the furnishings were the same as before, only a little more cluttered.

It's likely that Lin Yuxi had to work and take care of Xiao Xin'er, so she didn't have time to tidy up. Opening the shoe cabinet, there was a pair of men's slippers inside.

These are Wang Xingyu's slippers; he forgot to take them with him when they divorced.

Having incorporated the experiences and memories of the Taoist Qingye, Wang Xingyu shouldn't have been so easily moved.

But at this moment, seeing that Lin Yuxi hadn't even thrown away her own slippers, Wang Xingyu couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion, and at the same time felt even more ashamed of his past behavior.

He completely betrayed a woman who loved him deeply.

Little Xin'er asked, "Dad, can you cook?"

Wang Xingyu changed out of his slippers and said, "Of course I will. How about this, you watch cartoons, Daddy cooks, and then we wait together for Mommy to come home for dinner, okay?"

Xiao Xin'er nodded and said, "Okay."

Wang Xingyu turned on the TV for the little guy, tuned it to the animation channel of Haijiang TV, and then went into the kitchen with the groceries he had bought.

Taoist Qingye had two hobbies in his life: tea and gourmet food.

In the cultivation world of Fengyue Star, 99% of cultivators enjoy drinking tea, which they consider an elegant pursuit. However, very few cultivators would bother to study folk delicacies just to satisfy their own appetites.

Qingye Daoist was one of them.

He has tasted all the local delicacies on the planet Fengyue and has also learned cooking skills from many chefs. Every now and then, he would cook a big feast and enjoy a delicious meal.

The meat and vegetables are different in the two worlds, but they taste about the same.

Wang Xingyu already knew how to cook, and now with the added skill of Taoist Qingye, preparing dinner was a piece of cake for him.

In less than an hour, three dishes and a soup were ready: braised fish, beef stew with radish, stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar, and tomato and egg soup.

Lin Yuxi had just finished cooking dinner when she returned home from get off work.

"Mom, Dad picked me up from school. When we got back, we went to the supermarket and bought lots of my favorite dishes."

Xiao Xin'er immediately went to greet her, and said with a smile.

A smile appeared on Lin Yuxi's face as she asked, "Are you happy?"

Xiao Xin'er nodded and said, "I'm super, super happy."

Lin Yuxi affectionately touched her hair, looked up at Wang Xingyu, her smile vanished instantly, and said in a cold tone, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Of course, let's eat."

Wang Xingyu didn't care about Lin Yuxi's attitude. He knew very well that it wouldn't be easy to get Lin Yuxi to forgive him overnight; he could only win her over with sincerity.

The family of three hadn't sat down to eat together for a long time.

Lin Yuxi felt a little awkward and remained silent.

Wang Xingyu is shameless enough to interact intimately with Xiao Xin'er.

Xiao Xin'er was the happiest.

From the moment she sat down to eat, the smile on her face never stopped.

"Dad, your cooking is delicious."

"How about Daddy picks you up from school and cooks for you from now on?"

"Really? Dad, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"Of course it's true."

Lin Yuxi, who had been silent until now, frowned slightly and said, "You'd better not make promises you can't keep."

A hint of sadness flashed across Xiao Xin'er's face as she said, "Dad, you work at the hospital, how can you come to pick me up from school? I would be very happy if you could pick me up once a week."

Wang Xingyu felt a pang of pain in his heart. He stroked the little girl's hair and said, "Daddy has resigned and is no longer working at the hospital. From now on, I'll be responsible for picking you up and dropping you off at school, okay?"

Xiao Xin'er's eyes widened, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She said, "Okay."

Lin Yuxi's expression changed, and she asked, "You really resigned?"

Wang Xingyu nodded and said, "I've resigned."

Lin Yuxi asked, "Why?"

Wang Xingyu smiled slightly and said, "Working at Antai Hospital is too restrictive and lacks freedom. I want to change my lifestyle."

Lin Yuxi raised an eyebrow and said, "You want to start a business?"

Wang Xingyu said, "To be precise, it seems that the business has been completed. This afternoon I set up a clinic, which is less than three kilometers away from the Big Red Hat Kindergarten. It will be open for business the day after tomorrow."

Lin Yuxi put down her chopsticks and said seriously, "Do you think opening your own clinic would be better than being a doctor at Antai Hospital?"

Wang Xingyu said confidently, "Of course. After studying medicine for more than 20 years, I believe my medical skills are no less than those of any renowned traditional Chinese medicine master. Choosing to work independently will only make my future better and better, and at the very least, I can achieve financial freedom in the shortest possible time."

Lin Yuxi stared at him blankly and said, "You're completely insane."

Wang Xingyu sighed, gazing at Lin Yuxi's stunningly beautiful face, and said, "I've been crazy and foolish for two years, but now I'm clear-headed more than ever. I will correct my past mistakes. I will do my best to make up for my past shortcomings. I only ask for a chance to turn over a new leaf."

Lin Yuxi was startled, but her face remained expressionless.

She avoided Wang Xingyu's gaze, said nothing, picked up her chopsticks, and continued eating.

Little Xin'er, being quite old, didn't understand what Wang Xingyu meant and asked, "Dad, what are you saying?"

Wang Xingyu said helplessly, "Dad is too stupid and did something wrong."

Xiao Xin'er said, "The teacher said it's okay to make mistakes, as long as you correct them, you're a good child."

Wang Xingyu chuckled and said, "Okay, Dad will listen to Xiaoxin and try to correct my mistakes."

After dinner, Wang Xingyu took Xiao Xin'er downstairs for a walk, and then they swung on the swings in the small square.

Not far away, Lin Yuxi listened to Xiao Xin'er's cheerful laughter, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Lin Yuxi understood Wang Xingyu's thoughts, of course.

However, she was deeply hurt by Wang Xingyu's past behavior, and forgiving him was not so easy.

Oh well, let's just take it one step at a time!
