Chapter 164: Xiao Yina in the Line of Fire

"Cough cough, if Vice Minister Lin has nothing special to do, I think my daughter and I might need some alone time."

Shen Fanghua, her own niece, could wait a minute or two, but she still showed no sign of leaving, and Shen Fanghua finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Ah—"

Alerted by her aunt, Shen Peini, who was just emerging from her infatuated state, gasped and hurriedly pulled away from Lin Fei.

"Auntie, I—"

Shen Peini like this, in Shen Fanghua's eyes, was filled with complex emotions that could only be transformed into a sigh, feeling repeatedly that a grown daughter doesn't stay by her side.

Shen Fanghua had no children of her own and treated Shen Peini as if she were her own, having meticulously groomed her from a young age.

It could be said that much of Shen Peini's accomplishments and charm must be credited to Shen Fanghua.
