Reborn: Married to the Demon King

Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Cheng Lie, Let Go of Me

She put down the candy and caught sight of a particularly familiar notebook in the drawer. The cover had a

cartoon image of a family of bears.

If her memory served her correctly, that notebook contained notes she had meticulously organized and had lent

to Cheng Lie. Later, hadn't Cheng Lie told her he had lost it?

And now it was here.

Yun Shifei found it odd. Why had Cheng Lie claimed it was lost back then, making her feel sad and regretful for

quite stime?

She opened the notebook and noticed soil stains on it, making it look dirty and messy.

At that moment, Cheng Lie’s voice cfrom behind her.

"Cheng Huai didn’t wantto study. When he sawbring the notebook back, he threw it into the trash can. |

picked it out, but it was so dirty | couldn't return it to you, so | lied and said | lost it."

So, that’s what had happened... Yun Shifei’s pupils trembled slightly. The truth had arrived without warning,

completely shattering her expectations!

"Also, | don’t actually like eating candy at all. But when you gave it to me, | couldn't refuse."

And slowly, he began to accept it.

At the time, he had felt there was no place for sweetness in his world. Yet later, he still accepted it.

Because it was something she had given him.

"So, Yun Shifei, do you still think I don’t like you?"

Do you still think | don’t like you...

Yun Shifei was so shocked at that moment that she didn’t know how to react.

She stood there in a daze. She had always thought Cheng Lie’s feelings for her had only developed recently, but

she hadn't realized they stretched so far back into the past.

No wonder he had been so close to her back then. No wonder he had been so worried about her when she had

been in trouble.

But looking at herself now, how foolish her mind had been. Cheng Lie had been so obvious, yet she had never

suspected a thing.

Yun Shifei couldn't help but look at Cheng Lie, who was also staring back at her.

"I've already laid my heart bare for you. Do you still think | don’t like you?"

"Il... You've likedfor so long. | really didn’t expect it." Although she had also liked Cheng Lie for a long time,

she had always felt it was nothing like how long Cheng Lie had liked her.

And to think she had been so oblivious back then.

At the moment, Yun Shifei’s mind was completely blank with shock. It was as if she had been in love with her idol

for years, only to discover he had already grown used to her presence. The sheer excitement left her heart

trembling in disbelief, rendering her utterly stunned.

Yun Shifei’s stunned expression at that moment filled Cheng Lie with immense satisfaction.

Unable to resist, he took a step closer. He reached out and ran his hand through Yun Shifei’s hair, his long fingers

tangling in her strands, gripping and releasing in a rhythm filled with ambiguous intent.

He leaned down, bringing his lips close to Yun Shifei’s ear as he whispered, "So, how about this? Should | show

you all of me? Would that finally convince you that I like you?"

As he spoke, Cheng Lie suddenly scooped Yun Shifei into his arms.

Before Yun Shifei could react, the world spun around her, and the next thing she knew, she was on Cheng Lie’s

bed.

The man’s body loomed over her, blocking out the light. It was dark, oppressive, as if he were the master of the

world.

And at this moment, he truly was the master of her world.

Looking into Yun Shifei’s bright, wide eyes and her blank expression, Cheng Lie couldn’t tell whether she simply

hadn’t processed what was happening or was genuinely unafraid.

Cheng Lie chose to believe it was the latter.

But even if it were the former, it made no difference. He had no intention of giving her the chance to react.

He leaned down and pressed his lips onto hers.

Unlike his prior gentle kisses, this one was aggressive, claiming her with undeniable dominance. His movements

were possessive, as though he intended to consher completely, to devour her completely from her lips and

teeth.

His actions were forceful, as if venting all the dissatisfaction he had suppressed during this time.

Ever since Yun Shifei had broken up with him, he had been suppressing himself. On the surface, he might have

appeared calm and collected, but in reality, those turbulent emotions were locked away and tightly controlled.

Only by doing so could he live like a normal person. Otherwise, he would have gone mad.

But months of pent-up repression couldn't possibly be satisfied with just one kiss.

The girl in his arms felt like she was made of water. After plundering her lips, Cheng Lie moved downward, and

his hands becincreasingly restless.

Initially stunned, Yun Shifei finally snapped back to her senses when Cheng Lie kissed her.

She had expected it to be a gentle kiss, like before, but to her shock, Cheng Lie was rough, even biting her lip

with such force that she was sure it had broken the skin.

Not only that, but his hands had begun wandering, making Yun Shifei feel a surge of fear. She hadn't thought

about things progressing this quickly.

Still, her attempts to struggle were futile against Cheng Lie.

Though he didn’t look particularly strong, his strength was overwhelming, leaving her unable to resist at all.

"Cheng Lie..." Yun Shifei choked out softly, her voice trembling with tears. "Cheng Lie, letgo."

Her voice pulled Cheng Lie’s wandering rationality back slightly.

He raised his eyes to look at her. The glimmer in her eyes was evidence of unshed tears, threatening to spill.

She was crying.

There was even a trace of fear on her face, as if his actions had frightened her.

Seeing her like this, the frenzy within him gradually faded, retreating into the depths of his being.

Cheng Lie released her.

Yun Shifei immediately sat up, hastily adjusting her clothing. Fortunately, she had worn conservative clothes

today.
