After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 432: Angry

Cheng Lie hadn’t expected Yun Shifei to suddenly steal a kiss from him at this moment.

The sweet, soft breath, carrying a hint of warmth, seeped into his heart.

But just as quickly as she kissed him, she pulled back, and Cheng Lie couldn’t allow her to get away so easily.

He straightened up, pulled her into his arms, and deepened the kiss.

Even the restless heat from earlier seemed to subside together with it.

The injury on Yun Shifei’s leg wasn’t serious, and after Cheng Lie’s eyesight recovered, he threw himself back into work as usual.

His newly developed software was becoming increasingly popular, and Yun Shifei’s website finally saw its first order as well.

Soon after, a second, then a third...

The fact that someone trusted the platform enough to shop online brought her great joy. That evening, she even said she wanted to treat Cheng Lie to dinner outside.

Cheng Lie chuckled and said, "You should save that money to invest in your business."

He figured that since Yun Shifei’s website had just launched, recruitment and other expenses in the future would certainly cost a considerable amount.

Hearing this, Yun Shifei kicked him lightly. "Stop underestimating me!"

Was she celebrating because she had started making money? Of course not. This tiny drizzle of profit wasn’t even enough to cover a single meal.

She was simply happy that her efforts had finally achieved a significant breakthrough.

In the end, Cheng Lie accepted Yun Shifei’s invitation.

The two chose to dine on some exquisite private-home cuisine at a place Yun Shifei had picked out.

The prices were steep, but the food was exceptionally delicious.

After their meal, they got up to leave, and Yun Shifei contemplated dragging Cheng Lie along to watch a movie.

Not far off, a pair of eyes were watching them steadily.

Xia Yuzhen had received some news, and now she knew that Mu Chengzhu had not lied to her—it was indeed linked to Yun Shifei.

Yun Shifei...

Staring at the photo in her hand, Xia Yuzhen saw an image of Yun Shifei strolling alone on the street, captured by someone spying on her.

She wore a plaid dress, and even though her face was devoid of any expression, it radiated youthful vibrancy.

The photo was a bit blurry and only captured a rough outline.

Still, it was evident—this was a stunning beauty.

Was it true that she was exceptionally beautiful?

Was her beauty the reason Cheng Lie liked her?

Xia Yuzhen clenched her teeth. She wanted to see for herself—was money more important to Cheng Lie, or was this young woman?

Thinking of the sudden loss of three hundred thousand yuan she had suffered, Xia Yuzhen didn’t care whether it was Cheng Lie’s doing or not. She was determined to put the blame squarely on him.

The thought made her all the more eager to make Cheng Lie disappear.

On this day, Yun Shifei was heading out to discuss a partnership with a courier company.

Since she planned to expand her market in the future, lowering shipping costs was crucial.

Otherwise, products that didn’t include free shipping would likely deter potential buyers when they saw the expensive delivery fees, quashing any desire for online shopping.

Yun Shifei had only been out for a short while when she noticed a van trailing her.

Her survival instincts kicked in, and she headed toward crowded areas.

Even if it meant taking a longer route, it was safer than being followed.

Halfway through, Yun Shifei felt as though someone was still tailing her.

Fear gripped her, and she didn’t know what to do.

At that moment, Zhao Pan appeared.

"Miss Yun."

Seeing Zhao Pan, Yun Shifei felt her heart finally settle.

"Brother Zhao, you came just in time. I... I think someone’s been following me," she stammered.

Although she had no idea who it was, she trusted her instincts.

Zhao Pan gave her a reassuring smile. "It’s alright. Mr. Cheng asked me to escort you home."

Hearing this, Yun Shifei quickly understood. It seemed likely that Cheng Lie had stationed people around her, and upon noticing something amiss, he had sent Zhao Pan over immediately.

Thinking of this, Yun Shifei felt significantly less scared.

She knew Cheng Lie would protect her.

Yun Shifei got into Zhao Pan’s car, and they sped off.

The group originally tailing Yun Shifei saw this and began trailing them at a more deliberate pace in their own car.

While in the car, Yun Shifei got a detailed explanation from Zhao Pan.

Her anger flared instantly.

"So it’s her doing?!" Yun Shifei was furious.

She thought of how hard things had been for Cheng Lie.

The matter of whether or not to reconnect with the Meng Family had led to betrayal and had nearly cost him his life.

So that explains why he had deliberately kept his distance from her during that time—he hadn’t yet uncovered the mastermind behind it and was afraid she’d get hurt, right?

After giving it some thought, Yun Shifei asked, "Is Xiao Lie at the Meng Family’s residence now?"

Zhao Pan nodded.

"Mr. Meng said he wanted Cheng Lie to meet his uncles and aunts."

Yun Shifei went silent for a while before saying, "Would he mind if I came over?"

Zhao Pan was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t expected Yun Shifei to want to visit the Meng Family.

In fact, a few days earlier, Mr. Meng had learned that Cheng Lie had a girlfriend who wasn’t Wen Lin and had expressed curiosity about meeting her.

But Mr. Cheng had declined, likely worried that Miss Yun might feel uncomfortable.

No one had anticipated that Miss Yun herself would now request to meet the Meng Family.

"You can, but... Miss Yun, are you not afraid? Today, practically everyone in the family is present."

"Isn’t that even better?" Yun Shifei countered. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Zhao Pan froze.

After thinking it over carefully, he still didn’t fully understand what Yun Shifei meant, but since she wanted to go, Mr. Cheng would surely not object.

He figured it wouldn’t hurt to let the Meng Family meet Miss Yun. After all, he knew they preferred Wen Lin due to her future as the Wen Family Sect Leader. Compared to that, Miss Yun’s background seemed rather ordinary.

It appeared Miss Yun didn’t offer much in the way of assistance to Mr. Cheng.

But Zhao Pan felt that, having witnessed the trials and tribulations they had endured, Cheng Lie and Miss Yun were the most fitting pair.

Soon, Zhao Pan delivered Yun Shifei to the Meng Family estate.

Before stepping out of the car, Yun Shifei confirmed one last thing with Zhao Pan: "Will Xia Yuzhen be there?"

Zhao Pan nodded.

Xia Yuzhen was typically present, and there was no way she would miss a family gathering like this.

Walking alongside Zhao Pan to the entrance, Yun Shifei was greeted by the butler, who, upon learning her identity, suddenly understood and courteously invited them inside.

As they neared the door, the lively chatter from within reached Yun Shifei’s ears.

The mansion was spacious, featuring an entry garden before leading further inside to the main hall.

The first person to catch Yun Shifei’s eye was Cheng Lie, seated beside the two elders.

In his crisp white shirt, he sat quietly. Although those around him were all smiles, his expression remained reserved. While he didn’t seem out of place, he also exuded an air that was difficult to approach.

He probably didn’t enjoy this kind of atmosphere. Naturally, he was someone who preferred solitude.

Their arrival did not go unnoticed by the Meng Family members.

Both Mr. Meng and Old Mrs. Meng appeared briefly stunned. Once the butler introduced her, they finally understood that this young woman was Cheng Lie’s significant other.

Yun Shifei greeted them with a polite smile.

"So you’re the young woman Xiao Lie is so fond of," Old Mrs. Meng said, her eyes crinkling with a smile. She rose to take Yun Shifei’s hand and guided her to sit by her side.
