After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 450: I Believe in My Dad

She never expected that Song Yang would help her.

Thinking about that mischievous boy from the past, he really seemed to have turned into someone completely different now.

It probably wasn’t because of Yun Sisi.

Seeing Yun Shifei lost in thought, Cheng Lie said, "Of course, there’s also me."

Yun Shifei froze again.

Why him too?

Cheng Lie was never the kind of person to do good deeds without announcing them. Especially in front of Yun Shifei, whatever he did, he would make sure to tell her and let her praise him.

Under Yun Shifei’s gaze, Cheng Lie lightly cleared his throat: "It was me who ensured his report couldn’t be withdrawn. It was also me who convinced others not to collaborate with them."

"Xiao Lie, you’re amazing." Yun Shifei’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Cheng Lie. She thought so—that was how everything could go so smoothly. It turned out Cheng Lie had been pulling the strings.

She thought he had just been quietly observing in Beijing.

Cheng Lie reached out and ruffled Yun Shifei’s hair. He didn’t say that life would become tougher for Mu Chengzhu from now on.

At the very least, he wouldn’t let him have the chance to focus on Yun Shifei anymore.

Because Yun Tiancheng’s surgery had been successful, and with her returning home making Mu Chengzhu and Yun Sisi suffer a bit, Yun Shifei was in a very good mood.

Thinking about it, she had already become strong enough now. Her studies and career were both moving forward. No longer did she need to cower like she had in the past.

Whatever she wanted to do, she could just go ahead and do it.

By her side, there was still Cheng Lie.

After dinner, the two of them left, and Cheng Lie escorted her back to the school. Along the way, he bought some snacks for Yun Shifei to give to her dorm mates.

Yun Shifei looked at Cheng Lie, "Your emotional intelligence is surprisingly high."

She realized that Cheng Lie truly seemed like this. If he didn’t want to win anyone’s favor, he would come off as a cool and aloof person, seemingly devoid of human warmth.

But if he wanted to be kind to someone, he could be incredibly thoughtful.

Cheng Lie merely smiled without saying anything.

That faint smile lit up his strikingly handsome face, making him look as stunning as a masterpiece of art.

Yun Shifei couldn’t resist standing on tiptoe and planting a kiss on Cheng Lie’s cheek. Then, she picked up her luggage and headed upstairs.

Cheng Lie remained where he stood, watching Yun Shifei’s figure vanish into the crowd.

The man was exceptionally good-looking, and as a renowned figure in the school, passing girls couldn’t help but glance at him repeatedly.

But none of Cheng Lie’s attention fell on them.

Inside, sweetness was spreading through his heart. She was becoming increasingly proactive.

This was her way of showing her love for him.

Previously, she was always cautious, not daring to express her feelings in any way. But now, it was different.

Cheng Lie couldn’t help but raise his hand and cover his cheek; it still carried the lingering warmth of her touch.

He thought, maybe he could propose to Yun Tiancheng now, finalize their marriage plans, and get married right after Yun Shifei graduated.

He didn’t have grand aspirations—he just wanted to live a long, slow, and steady life with her.

Yun Shifei returned to her dorm room and distributed the snacks to her dorm mates. As expected, they were all overjoyed.

They couldn’t help but envy Yun Shifei for having such a considerate boyfriend.

"Shifei, does your boyfriend have any friends? Maybe you could introduce them to us?" Yu Liantao teased with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Yun Shifei pondered for a while. It seemed that Cheng Lie really didn’t have many friends.

Did Qin Chi Jin count?

They were probably more like collaborators.

Thinking about this made Yun Shifei a little sad. Cheng Lie’s social circle was too limited, but he himself didn’t seem to need friends.

It really seemed to be the case, just like how some people enjoy making many friends while others prefer being alone. He was clearly the latter.

When Yun Shifei mentioned that Cheng Lie didn’t have friends, her dorm mates looked disappointed but didn’t doubt her words.

Cheng Lie hadn’t forgotten to leave a share of snacks for Xu Yuejiao.

When Xu Yuejiao received the gift, she was thrilled. "Oh, my brother-in-law truly delivers! He didn’t forget me either."

Her impression of Cheng Lie improved even more. She thought that with Cheng Lie’s thoughtfulness, when the two of them got married in the future, she must prepare an exceptional gift.

Yun Shifei had no clue that Xu Yuejiao was already imagining far into the future.

Yun Shifei smiled faintly and shared all that had happened in South City with Xu Yuejiao.

Xu Yuejiao looked even more relaxed. "As long as Uncle is fine now, I can breathe easier. Feifei, you shouldn’t worry either. Just relax—Uncle is going to be okay. As for Mu Chengzhu and Yun Sisi..."

Xu Yuejiao narrowed her eyes: "They deserve it. They should taste what it’s like to be bullied."

Mu Chengzhu was already married, yet he still couldn’t let go—that made Xu Yuejiao sick.

As for Yun Sisi, there was even less to be said. She had never changed.

Thinking about this, Xu Yuejiao couldn’t help but worry. "Feifei, do you think Yun Sisi, since she’s constantly trying to please Aunt and Uncle, will eventually win them over while you’re not around?"

As the saying goes, "distance leads to estrangement." Physical proximity can indeed create problems.

And right now, Yun Sisi was living in the same neighborhood as Yun Tiancheng. If she paid them frequent visits and showed concern, it wasn’t impossible for them to accept her.

Yet Yun Shifei didn’t have such concerns. "I trust my dad."

As for Xu Ya, she wasn’t sure about her. But she firmly believed Yun Tiancheng wouldn’t accept Yun Sisi.

Her father—he was the best dad in the world.

Seeing how confident Yun Shifei was, Xu Yuejiao smiled. "Alright, let’s not talk about these things anymore. By the way, guess what, take a look at this gift Zhou Li gave me."

As she spoke, Xu Yuejiao stretched out her wrist, revealing a red string tied around it.

"He said my grades were too poor, and this could bring me a bit of luck." Then, Xu Yuejiao couldn’t help but complain, "My grades aren’t bad at all!"

Yun Shifei glanced at the string on Xu Yuejiao’s wrist, her eyes curving into crescent moons. "He wants to tie you down, doesn’t he?"

Tie her down?

Xu Yuejiao was stunned. She hadn’t thought of such a novel interpretation, but now that she considered it, it seemed plausible.

"This guy is way too subtle! If you hadn’t said it, I wouldn’t have realized it had this meaning."

At that, Xu Yuejiao couldn’t help but slap her cheeks in frustration. "In that case, shouldn’t I give him something in return?"

But what should she give? Xu Yuejiao recalled that when she had given him expensive gifts before, he had refused them.

Upon hearing this, Yun Shifei’s eyes sparkled with an idea. "Winter is coming soon—you could give him a pair of gloves."

She’d previously gifted Cheng Lie gloves before, knowing that a dedicated student who often needed to write and study kept their hands exposed to the cold. Gloves would keep them warm.

"That’s a great idea! I’ll get ready right away." Xu Yuejiao said eagerly, grabbing Yun Shifei’s hand. "Why don’t you come with me to pick them out? Your taste is much better than mine."
