Reborn: Married to the Demon King

Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Ace in the Hole

Yun Shifei lifted her eyes and saw the man staring at her without blinking. His face was pale, his thin lips as white

as paper, but his eyes were exceptionally dark and bright.

A delicate sickly beauty, losing a trace of his usual allure yet gaining a vulnerable charm.

This stirred a strong protective instinct in Yun Shifei’s heart.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Mu Chengzhu’s actions were simply too excessive.

However, she kept her feelings in check in front of Cheng Lie.

She curled her lips slightly and brought the lunch box in her hand to Cheng Lie.

"lI wasn’t sure what kind of porridge you liked. | bought millet porridge, century egg and pork porridge, and yam

porridge. Which one would you like?"

As Yun Shifei spoke, she opened the porridge containers, and the warm steam quickly spread, carrying a

pleasant aroma. Not having had lunch yet, Yun Shifei’s stomach started rumbling audibly.

Cheng Lie said, "I'm okay with anything."

"Pick one," Yun Shifei stubbornly urged.

Cheng Lie glanced at her conflicted eyes and chuckled, then said, "Yam porridge."

Yun Shifei nodded. She also felt this one was more suitable for Cheng Lie to drink while recovering.

Since both of Cheng Lie’s hands were injured, Yun Shifei fed him spoonful by spoonful.

The porridge was quite hot, and Yun Shifei was worried about burning Cheng Lie, so she blew gently on each

spoonful at her lips.

Cheng Lie quietly watched Yun Shifei. The girl kept her eyes lowered, focused on the porridge in her hands. Her

eyelashes were so long, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly.

The act of blowing made her lips puff slightly, looking adorably cute.

If it weren't for his current situation where he couldn't do much, honestly, he would've really wanted to act on

impulse.

When Yun Shifei raised her head, she caught Cheng Lie staring at her.

Feeling puzzled, she asked, "Is there something dirty on my face?"

Cheng Lie shook his head before speaking softly after a long pause, "I was just mesmerized by looking at you."

Yun Shifei froze for a moment, her face starting to blush.

How could Cheng Lie suddenly throw out a compliment like that, so direct and unreserved? It completely

rendered her speechless.

But, it seemed his love was exactly like that—whatever he wanted to say, he would lay it bare before her without

any hesitation.

After watching Cheng Lie finish eating, Yun Shifei chatted with him for a while before preparing to head home.

Cheng Lie thought to himself how their initial plan had been to go on a date, but unexpectedly it ended up being

in a hospital room...

"Feifei, I'm sorry."

Yun Shifei was just getting up with her bag when she heard the husky, low voice.

Yun Shifei shook her head and then smiled at Cheng Lie, "It's okay. Anywhere with you is a perfect date."

As she said this, she mustered up the courage to lean in and plant a kiss on Cheng Lie’s cheek, then quickly ran

away.

Cheng Lie froze.

Even after Yun Shifei had left, he hadn't fully cback to his senses.

But his body reacted faster. His face flushed red, finally adding a tinge of color to his perpetually pale

complexion.

Outside the door, Zhao Pan shook his head. Sure enough, only love could bring Mr. Cheng back to life.

Yun Shifei’s face was also red. Such an unexpected kiss surely must've stunned Cheng Lie.

However, she felt pretty happy. She realized she was becoming braver and braver, daring to kiss him like that.

She reached up to touch her pounding heart, her emotions surging to the point where she almost wanted to leap

up on the spot.

She realized she truly liked Cheng Lie more and more.

Liked him so much that there was no sense of distance between them.

They were bound to keep getting better and better together.

But her joy soured instantly when she stepped into the community and saw Mu Chengzhu standing not far away.

Mu Chengzhu had been waiting here purposely for Yun Shifei.

He had calculated that Yun Shifei would surely return hbefore dinner because earlier in the day, he had

deliberately asked Yun Tiancheng about her schedule, and Yun Tiancheng had revealed she’d be back before

dinner.

The setting sun dyed the sky and ground in the blood-red hues of its final rays, casting a hauntingly vivid scene.

Yun Shifei looked at Mu Chengzhu and suddenly smiled, "You've cto see me? Perfect, | was planning on

finding you myself."

Mu Chengzhu’s expression was completely unsurprised, as if he had expected this all along.

He stood quietly in place, watching Yun Shifei approach him step by step.

In his mind, he was certain that she would beg him to leave Cheng Lie alone. With her personality, surely she

couldn't bear to see Cheng Lie being bullied like this.

The moment she did, he planned to negotiate his terms with her properly.

But he didn’t expect what cnext—an abrupt, loud slap, its sting snapping him back to reality immediately.

Rage burned brightly in his eyes.

"What are you doing?" Mu Chengzhu forced his fury down and fixed his gaze on the girl before him.

His look seemed as though he wanted to devour her whole.

Yet Yun Shifei wasn’t afraid of him in the slightest.

Mu Chengzhu suddenly realized that even if he truly targeted Cheng Lie, Yun Shifei wouldn’t be afraid of him.

How strange. Earlier, when he had threatened her to leave Cheng Lie, she had complied meekly. At that time,

she'd been terrified that something would happen to Cheng Lie.

How was it that in a single moment, she had becso utterly fearless?

"Didn’t you see? Do you wantto slap you again?" Yun Shifei asked with a puzzled expression, her face a stark

contradiction to her earlier rough action.

"Try it!" Mu Chengzhu gritted his teeth.

Pausing briefly, Yun Shifei continued, "And if you still don’t stop, do you think | don’t have a trick up my sleeve?"

Mu Chengzhu stared quietly at Yun Shifei as she smiled like a blooming flower.

Pure, radiant, harmless.

Yet Mu Chengzhu now found himself unable to gauge Yun Shifei’s true thoughts.

She wasn't afraid of him leveraging Cheng Lie anymore, and she was changing incredibly quickly.

What was her ace up her sleeve?

Mu Chengzhu calmed himself and asked, "I don’t believe you have a trick up your sleeve."

Yun Shifei curled her lips, "You'll find out when the tcomes."

Saying this, Yun Shifei didn’t waste targuing with Mu Chengzhu any further and turned to head back home.

As soon as she entered, Yun Tiancheng looked at her with concern, "Shifei, | heard that Cheng Lie is in the

hospital?"

Seeing Yun Tiancheng’s serious expression, Yun Shifei immediately understood that Mu Chengzhu must've told

Yun Tiancheng about Cheng Lie’s situation.
