After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 294: Chapter 294: She Kissed His Cheek

This is probably the first tshe has complimented him so seriously.

Usually, she only dared to steal glances at him, and upon being caught, she would immediately hide and pretend

she hadn't looked.

Cheng Lie’s mood lightened a bit as he pinched her smooth cheek. "You look good too."

Adorably cute, like a little bunny, making people want to keep her as a pet.

"Not as good-looking as you. Cheng Lie is the best looking, the most handsunder the heavens, even better

looking than Mu Chengzhu or anyone else," Yun Shifei continued to praise.

But Cheng Lie’s expression gradually turned cold upon hearing Yun Shifei mention Mu Chengzhu.

He recalled what Mu Chengzhu had said—their shared secret.

Looking at the girl beside him, smiling with crescent eyes, he couldn't resist gripping her chin and staring

intensely at Yun Shifei.

"Shifei, what is the secret between you and Mu Chengzhu?"

Yun Shifei’s gaze met Cheng Lie’s.

In that instant, she felt as though Cheng Lie’s eyes held an endless deep ocean, pulling her in.

"The secret between Mu Chengzhu and me..."

What indeed was the secret between her and Mu Chengzhu?

Yun Shifei involuntarily recalled that day when Mu Chengzhu suddenly cto Beijing to find her, telling her that

he also remembered memories from their past life. At that time, she was flustered, scared he would reveal this

secret.

Afraid she might fall into a bottomless abyss.

But at that moment, Mu Chengzhu promised her he wouldn’t disclose the secret.

"He found out about me..."

Before Yun Shifei could continue, Cheng Lie frowned, reached out, and lightly touched her eyelids.

Yun Shifei’s expression becslightly clearer than before; she shook her head. "My head feels a little dizzy."

Cheng Lie took a deep breath, restraining his emotions.

He could use certain methods to uncover the secret between her and Mu Chengzhu.

Just like the way he used to manipulate others in the past—long ago, he even framed Yun Sisi using hypnosis.

These contemptible and unscrupulous methods that others regarded as despicable meant nothing to Cheng Lie.

As long as he could achieve his goals, that was all that mattered.

But suddenly, he didn’t want to do that anymore.

He couldn’t bring himself to use such methods on Yun Shifei.

He only wanted Yun Shifei to tell him herself, not for him to find out through hypnotic means.

How dull that would be.

The young man chuckled to himself, mocking his own despicability just moments ago.

Cheng Lie pulled Yun Shifei forward, walking along a path lined with sparse tourists. Soon, they arrived at the

lakeside.

The willow trees by the lake had only dry branches left, and the lake's surface was frozen over.

He led Yun Shifei to sit inside a lakeside pavilion.

Cold winds swept in, and Yun Shifei unconsciously leaned closer to Cheng Lie. "Cheng Lie, it’s so cold."

"Let the cold sober you up," Cheng Lie responded.

Yun shifei frowned. "I'm not drunk."

"Not drunk, huh?"

Just look at her—leaning toward him voluntarily. If she were sober, there's no way she'd behave like this.

"Cheng Lie, I'll tell you a secret," Yun Shifei suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered.

Cheng Lie raised an eyebrow. "What?"

He hadn't even tried hypnotizing her, yet she wanted to reveal it herself.

The next moment, he heard the soft voice of the girl: "I like you."

Cheng Lie froze, then suddenly felt a warmth on his cheek.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glimpsed her lips touching his face.

That kiss was fleeting; she quickly sat back upright.

But deep emotions covered Cheng Lie’s dark eyes.

He reached out, stroking his cheek, fixing his gaze on Yun Shifei.

Previously, he had always been the one to kiss her voluntarily. He hadn't expected her, after having some

alcohol, to be so bold—normally timid—to initiate this time.

Cheng Lie asked, "Did you just kiss me?"

Yun Shifei didn’t seem shy at all and nodded contentedly. "Yes, | kissed you."

"Then don’t blme," Cheng Lie said coldly, though he was suppressing the ripples of desire surging inside

him.

He reached out, cupping Yun Shifei’s face, and kissed her lips.

Unlike the previous fleeting kisses, this the explored deeper, tasting every corner of her lips.

His emotions threatened to spill over uncontrollably.

The confession, coupled with her proactive kiss, snapped the thread taut within him.

He had always been calm and restrained, convinced that until she loved him deeply enough, he would not take

further initiative.

The dark times of his past had taught him distrust in all feelings of love.

Even family could torment him—Ilet alone love, which he saw as an inherently laughable thing.

He desired love yet feared the pain of losing it and the collapse that would follow. So, he waited for her to love

him more deeply, waited for her to fall into his grasp.

Yet now, her kiss had shattered his restraint.

Was it she who fell into his trap, or was he the one utterly captivated by her? Cheng Lie no longer knew.

Her lips carried the scent of alcohol, the sweetness of cake, and her own unique fragrance.

It made him drown fully in her.

Only when Yun Shifei’s breath becfaint did Cheng Lie release her.

Seeing her flushed, reddened face, he

Watching her dumbfounded, Cheng Lie thought to himself that he must never let her drink again.

This world was full of bad people. What if his girl caught someone else’s attention?

Cheng Lie’s thumb brushed over her swollen lips, his gaze momentarily deep, before abruptly turning away.

If he stared any longer, he might lose control again.

He pulled Yun Shifei into his arms, avoiding her silly expression altogether.

Not far away, Wen Lin stood frozen in shock, watching Cheng Lie and Yun Shifei.

Such intimacy was something Wen Lin had never imagined.

So this Yun Shifei was the "friend" Cheng Lie had mentioned.

And he held her with such care, as if she were an irreplaceable treasure.

How incomprehensible it was that this cold-hearted man could display such tenderness.

Within Wen Lin's heart, jealousy and anger burst uncontrollably into flames.

That girl, truly impressive—her beauty not only captivated Qin Yumo but also made Cheng Lie fall for her so

deeply.

Thinking this over, Wen Lin turned to her subordinate. "Investigate this girl for me."

"Yes."

Yun Shifei slept off her haziness and slowly woke, realizing she was lying on a bed in a hotel.

"Awake?" Xu Yuejiao stood close by, twisting a towel and handing it to her.

Originally, she intended to wipe Yun Shifei’s face herself, but since she woke up, she let her handle it.
