After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 325: Chapter 325: A Little Waste

"You're utterly useless!" Yun Shifei glared at Qin Yumo angrily, momentarily forgetting her fear in her fury.

She decided not to talk to Qin Yumo anymore; whenever he spoke, he always had that sarcastically teasing tone.

She was going to ask Cheng Lie instead.

Actually, after hearing what Qin Yumo said, she started to seriously worry about Cheng Lie. No wonder his tone in

recent calls carried a sense of exhaustion. No wonder he had refused her and suddenly becso busy—it was

all because... because of that.

Yet she had been kept completely in the dark.

Seeing Yun Shifei defending Cheng Lie like this, Qin Yumo couldn't help but feel a touch of dissatisfaction. "Is he

really that good in your eyes?"

"Of course."

Qin Yumo chuckled, the glint in his peach blossom eyes shining brightly, seemingly unbothered by Yun Shifei’s

mockery.

In his view, this girl was overly naive and adorable. Even now, she still defended him? She clearly hadn't faced

the harsh realities of life. Once she experienced the struggles of poverty or saw her weak, inept boyfriend, would

she still like him?

Qin Yumo believed that everyone, ultimately, is greedy and driven by self-interest. Was there ever truly such

pure love in reality?

He had adjusted his strategy—no longer keeping her tightly under his control as he used to.

Only when she tasted the bitterness herself would she realize that being with him was her path to happiness.

Yun Shifei skipped going back to school and went straight to Cheng Lie’s place to look for him.

She had already thought of an excuse—last year when she returned home, she had given Cheng Lie a little

snowman to take care of, but she hadn't retrieved it yet. This time, that would be her excuse.

still, she felt slightly apprehensive about Cheng Lie’s mood lately and worried that visiting might disturb him.

After a while, the door opened.

Yun Shifei looked at the boy standing in front of her. Today, he was wearing a cream-colored sweater—the soft

color made him look gentler than usual.

Cheng Lie hadn't expected Yun Shifei and was momentarily stunned.

Yun Shifei’s eyes curved in a smile as she handed over the takeout dinner she’d brought with her. "I brought you

dinner!"

Saying this, she strode into the room.

Cheng Lie’s place was as warm as always. No wonder he could wear so little without feeling cold.

Cheng Lie picked up the packed meal and saw the girl already comfortably seated on the couch. He placed the

food to one side and poured a cup of hot water for her.

Yun Shifei took the cup and held it between her hands, her gaze fixed on Cheng Lie.

Cheng Lie was looking at her too, seemingly unsure of what she was thinking.

Yun Shifei wanted so badly to ask about what Qin Yumo had told her. But somehow, facing Cheng Lie, the words

wouldn't cout.

After a while, she said, "By the way, Cheng Lie, where's that little snowman | asked you to take care of last

time?"

Cheng Lie went to his room and brought out the snowman.

It was as pure white and adorable as ever. Yun Shifei looked at the snowman encased in the glass box and

smiled.

"I wonder how long it'll last."

Once the weather warmed up, it would soon melt, wouldn't it?

Cheng Lie looked at the snowman, then at her delighted expression, unable to bring himself to say that the

snowman’s lifespan was already getting shorter and shorter.

Due to the battery issue, it used to hold its charge for days, but now it needed charging every single day.

"Cheng Lie, hurry up and eat. It'll be cold soon," Yun Shifei reminded Cheng Lie while changing the subject.

Cheng Lie nodded, opened the meal box, and saw the food inside—an abundant spread with perfectly balanced

meat and vegetables, catering to nutritional needs.

He quietly started eating.

He wasn’t naturally talkative, but Yun Shifei felt his words were even fewer now.

In the past, he would tease her a bit, but now perhaps his heavy workload was wearing him down.

"Work’s been busy lately, hasn't it? You look thinner," Yun Shifei asked with concern.

"It's manageable. | can handle it," Cheng Lie replied.

She knew it—Cheng Lie definitely didn’t want to worry her.

No matter how much she wanted to know, she wouldn't get the answer from him.

So Yun Shifei could only say, "Either way, take care of yourself. Your health is the foundation of everything."

Cheng Lie paused at her words, lifting his gaze to look at her as his lips curled into a faint smile. "I know."

Her concern for him—he accepted it all wholeheartedly. Yet now, when it cto his love for her, he felt a deep

sense of guilt.

Once upon a time, he thought they could live a happy life together. But now, it seemed less and less likely.

Youthful recklessness, years of quiet ambition, a sudden rise to prominence—the bravado and arrogance that

had previously surged in him was impossible to suppress.

Yet now, reality hammered hjust how small and laughable he truly was.

As they were talking, Zhao Pan arrived with a handful of documents. Seeing Yun Shifei there, he greeted her

politely before looking over at Cheng Lie.

Cheng Lie replied calmly, "Handle the subsequent steps yourselves."

So Cheng Lie was collaborating with Wen Lin, Yun Shifei thought. She pictured the elegant, dignified woman—

older than her, exuding the aura of a powerful professional.

Later on, didn’t Wen Lin becthe head of the Wen Family? A person like her could undoubtedly provide

immense support to Cheng Lie during this time.

This thought made Yun Shifei feel a bit less anxious but also a bit more upset.

Compared to Wen Lin, Yun Shifei felt like she was just a useless little thing, as if she couldn’t do anything right.

Of course, she was improving—but this snail-like pace... she couldn't tell if Cheng Lie would notice or whether he

would have the patience to wait for her.

With that thought, Yun Shifei sighed softly.

Seeing Yun Shifei holding her water cup, looking relatively glum, Cheng Lie smiled and reached over to ruffle her

hair. "Why do you seem unhappy? Wasn't the trip to the zoo with Xiao Yi fun?"

"It was fun... just, without you, it wasn’t as fun." Yun Shifei blurted out a straightforward confession and

immediately turned red after finishing the sentence.

Cheng Lie froze for a second before reaching out to tap her nose lightly. "Our little Feifei is getting better at

sweet-talking."

It was the first tshe heard him call her "Feifei," and Yun Shifei suddenly felt strangely awkward.

Meanwhile, Zhao Pan, sitting on the side, refused to watch, covering his eyes as he muttered to himself.
