Chapter 366: Chapter 366 Why Do You Like Shi Fei
At this moment, Cheng Lie felt as though his entire world had suddenly been illuminated.
A surge of warmth flowed through his heart.
It turned out that, no matter how others tried to disparage him, she still steadfastly stood by his side.
This feeling moved him deeply.
Yun Tiancheng looked at Yun Shifei, who was now hugging Cheng Lie. This daughter of his, whom he always saw
as shy and reserved, was actually hugging a young man like this. It left him astonished.
But it also showed just how much Shi Fei liked Cheng Lie.
They went inside and sat down.
Cheng Lie presented the gifts he had prepared for Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya with great thoughtfulness.
Yun Tiancheng, however, still held onto his reservations.
The young man in front of him was dressed in a simple white shirt and black trousers. After not seeing him for a
year, he had grown so tall, even taller than him.
There was a newfound maturity about him, an aloof sharpness in his gaze. It was no longer the dull, icy stare
from before; now, his eyes gleamed with clarity and depth.
Even though he was the sage as Yun Shifei, there was something about him that felt seasoned—complex

Such a man—it was clear to Yun Tiancheng why he was able to outmaneuver Cheng Guomin.
He had hidden his true self so well before.
During dinner, however, he said nothing of this. He simply asked Cheng Lie sbasic questions, which helped
ease the tension a little.
Yun Shifei had been worried all along that Yun Tiancheng wouldn't accept Cheng Lie, but watching them interact,
it wasn’t as discordant as she feared.
Of course, it was nothing like how Yun Tiancheng used to treat Cheng Lie during his "autism" phase.
Indeed, certain things cannot be undone. Thinking of this, Yun Shifei let out a quiet sigh.
After the meal, Yun Tiancheng said to Cheng Lie, "Cwithto the study for a moment."
"Dad," Yun Shifei called out anxiously.
Yun Tiancheng glanced at her, his expression slightly stern.
Cheng Lie turned to Yun Shifei and said, "Shi Fei, don’t worry. Uncle Yun has something to say to me."
Yun Shifei nodded, then softly whispered to Cheng Lie, "Don’t be afraid. No matter what happens, I love you."
Cheng Lie felt another glimmer of sweetness in his heart and smiled at her.
Inside the study.
Yun Tiancheng had a habit of drinking coffee while working, but later Xu Ya, concerned about its impact on his
health, bought him a set of tea utensils, suggesting he drink tea to stay alert instead.
Now, in the study, he boiled water, rinsed cups, and slowly brewed tea.
Cheng Lie sat across from him, composed and upright. Even in the silence, broken only by the sound of water
pouring into the teapot, he showed no sign of nervousness.
Truly a man of hidden depths!
Yun Tiancheng sighed inwardly.
Gradually, Yun Tiancheng started to separate the Cheng Lie in front of him from the child he used to know with
autism. The Cheng Lie of today bore no resemblance to his past self.
"Cheng Lie, you should know what | want to talk to you about, right?"
"It's about my relationship with Shi Fei," Cheng Lie replied.
Yun Tiancheng hummed in acknowledgment, placing a cup of tea in front of Cheng Lie. "This is the tea you sent
Cheng Lie recalled what Yun Shifei had told him earlier; in truth, all of this had been her doing.
He remained silent, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
The swirling steam cloaked his face like a thin veil.
As Yun Tiancheng observed Cheng Lie from across the table, he thought to himself—it was no wonder Yun Shifei
had fallen for him. With a face like his, what young girl wouldn't?
But when he thought about Cheng Lie’s past deeds, Yun Tiancheng still found it hard to accept.
Even though Cheng Lie now appeared cultured and respectful, Yun Tiancheng could still perceive the darkness in
his bones and the concealed desires in his heart.
Still, given how much Yun Shifei liked him, he had to reevaluate the situation carefully.
"But Cheng Lie, | can’t just let you be with Shi Fei like this. You know, she’s my only daughter, and she endured
great hardship when she was abducted as a child. Now she finally has a chance to enjoy life."
Cheng Lie already knew everything Yun Tiancheng was saying.
He had cprepared.
"Uncle," Cheng Lie began, "I understand your concerns. So before coming here, | decided to bring something to
demonstrate my sincerity."
As he spoke, he handed a file folder to Yun Tiancheng.
Yun Tiancheng opened it, initially unconcerned, but his eyes grew wider and more astonished as he continued
reading.
After a long moment, his voice trembled as he asked, "You intend to give all of this to Shi Fei?"
Cheng Lie nodded. His dark eyes were calm, devoid of emotion, as though he had made this decision long ago.
"Uncle Yun, | understand that because of what happened betweenand Cheng Guomin, you harbor strong
prejudices against me. But even so, | would do the sthing again for a father like him. | know you might see
Pausing briefly, Cheng Lie continued, "But | genuinely love Shi Fei. In this lifetime, she is the one and only person
I've ever loved."
