Reborn: Married to the Demon King

Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Seeing the Once Cheng Lie

Listening to the boy’s calm explanation, Yun Shifei grew anxious.

Even though Cheng Lie sounded normal, she couldn't shake her worry. What if, at this moment, Qin Yumo

suddenly appeared at the club, spotted a drunken Cheng Lie, and took the chance to pick a fight?

Yun Shifei couldn't just sit by and do nothing.

She said to Cheng Lie, "Stay right where you are and don’t move. I'll cfind you in a bit."

Hearing Cheng Lie hum in agreement, Yun Shifei quickly threw on a coat, slipped into her shoes, and rushed out

of the school to find him.

She flagged down a car in her haste and headed to the club Cheng Lie had mentioned.

Meanwhile, after hanging up the phone, Cheng Lie walked out of the private room.

At that moment, Zhao Pan, who had been stationed at the door, saw Cheng Lie step out and immediately

approached him.

Recalling the woman who had just entered the room earlier, Cheng Lie asked, "That woman earlier—did you let

her in?"

"She said she cto deliver something to you."

"And you didn’t even ask any questions?"

Zhao Pan was stunned.

Cheng Lie lowered his gaze. "Don’t let it happen again."

Zhao Pan quickly realized his mistake and immediately apologized, "Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry. | know her, and she’s

quite close to the Fourth Master. | didn’t think too much about it..."

Who could've known the women here all have ulterior motives?

He thought she was simply delivering sdrinks, but she also cwith ulterior intentions—and even tried to

throw herself at him!

At that moment, Zhao Pan swore to himself that next time, he would approach the management of the club and

lay out sserious rules. Otherwise, if this kept happening, Cheng Lie would definitely lose his temper.

Cheng Lie stepped outside and looked at Zhao Pan. "Go handle your own matters first. I'll sit out here for a

while."

"That's not possible, Mr. Cheng. | need to ensure your safety."

After all, Qin Yumo also frequented this club, and if the two of them happened to run into each other...

Though the odds were slim, just in case, especially with Cheng Lie having drunk alcohol now, he would definitely

be no match for Qin Yumo.

Cheng Lie understood that Zhao Pan wouldn't leave as long as his safety was in question.

He could only point to a car parked sdistance away. "Then move the car over to that corner. Watchfrom

a distance, and cover only if I'm in danger."

That seemed feasible. Zhao Pan obediently moved the car to a corner.

Cheng Lie sat down on the stone steps, letting the breeze cool his flushed cheeks. As for being "drunk," he

wasn't drunk at all. He simply wanted to test Yun Shifei.

He hadn't expected her to truly care about him so much that she’d insist on coming to find him in person.

Soon, Yun Shifei appeared at the entrance of the club. During the day, it wasn’t particularly crowded in this area.

She spotted Cheng Lie sitting on the stone steps at a glance.

The boy was wearing a simple white down jacket—clean and neat. His legs were both long and straight, bent

slightly as he sat.

His head rested on his knees, looking pitifully downcast.

A grown young man sitting on the steps, drunk—it was both pathetic and endearing.

Seeing this, Yun Shifei felt a mix of heartache and frustration.

He was so intelligent—couldn’t he take better care of himself?

She walked up to him and called softly, "Cheng Lie."

The boy raised his head to look at her, his eyes dazed and unfocused.

This look reminded Yun Shifei of the Cheng Lie from years ago; he had often looked at her with such a gaze.

After getting drunk, Cheng Lie had reverted to his former self.

In addition, a faint flush tinged his cheeks, making him look unexpectedly adorable.

Just like a child.

Yun Shifei crouched down and looked at Cheng Lie. "Why did you drink so much?"

Although her initial intention was to scold him, her voice cout soft and tender, almost childlike in its tone of

reproach.

Hearing her gentle words, Cheng Lie felt his heart melt as well. He muttered slowly, "Shi Fei."

"Mm, con, get up. Don’t sit on the ground—you’ll catch a cold. I'll take you home."

Seeing that he could still recognize her, Yun Shifei felt a small wave of relief and reached for his clothes, trying to

pull him up.

The boy obediently cooperated and stood up.

But as soon as he was on his feet, he wrapped an arm around Yun Shifei’s shoulders, leaning his entire weight

against her.

His head rested on her shoulder. "I feel awful... Can't see clearly..."

Hearing his murmuring, Yun Shifei almost burst out laughing in exasperation.

If he couldn't handle alcohol, why insist on drinking? She truly couldn't understand.

"Why did your boss let you get drunk?" Yun Shifei asked.

"I don’t know. He said it was something | had to experience at least once."

What kind of ridiculous reason was that?

Yun Shifei was particularly angry. Cheng Lie was only eighteen—still just a kid. How could they treat a child this

way?

Yun Shifei hailed a car to take Cheng Lie home.

Unexpectedly, even in the car, Cheng Lie didn’t behave. He clung to her, resting his head in the crook of her

neck and even nuzzling against her.

Such an intimate gesture was truly grating on Yun Shifei’s nerves.

When had she ever seen this side of Cheng Lie? Even in the past, he had always been a cold and distant person.

But now... Cheng Lie reminded her of her pet golden retriever, constantly nuzzling up to her.

She moved his hand away, but he leaned back toward her.

She cupped his head, thinking to tilt it to the other side.

Soon enough, he leaned right back into her again.

Yun shifei: "..."

She was truly exhausted.

Was this what being drunk was like?

Having no other choice, Yun Shifei allowed Cheng Lie to rest on her shoulder and sleep.

His hand was still around her waist—awkward and uncomfortable.

As for Cheng Lie, his heart felt a rare sort of satisfaction at the moment.

How long had it been since he last held her like this?

She was just as easy to hug as before—petite, light, effortlessly fitting into his arms.

But... it was so cold, and she was

If only he could hold her like this forever...

For Cheng Lie, this was bliss; for Yun Shifei, it was torment.

Cheng Lie was drunk, but she wasn’t!

Having this grown man clinging to her, burying his face in her neck—how could she not feel anything?

Especially since this man was the one she had feelings for.

Even though she was angry with him now, that didn’t erase the fluttering in her chest.

The boy’s eyelashes were long and fine, and she couldn't help but want to touch them.

This idea had lingered in her mind for ages.

But she didn’t have the courage to act on it.

Before long, the car pulled up outside Cheng Lie’s residence.

Yun Shifei nudged him. "Cheng Lie, wake up. We've arrived at your home."

Cheng Lie groggily opened his eyes, allowing Yun Shifei to help him out of the car.

They arrived at his door.

Cheng Lie retrieved a key and unlocked the door.

"Alright, you should be able to take care of yourself now. I'm heading back," Yun Shifei said.

"No, you can’t. | need you to take care of me," Cheng Lie replied.
