After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 463: Opponent

Wen Lin also looked at Cheng Lie, and for a moment, she couldn’t say what she felt inside.

She used to only investigate Cheng Lie’s background, knowing that he had a good relationship with Yun Shifei since high school.

But she didn’t know many details, and now Cheng Lie was showing her all of this, completely overturning her knowledge.

At least, she couldn’t connect such a boy with Cheng Lie.

Cheng Lie continued to say, "I’ve heard that the people you admire are always more impressive than you. Qin Guangtao wanted to pair you with his son, Qin Yumo, but you didn’t think much of him. But did you ever consider that back in high school, I wasn’t even as good as Qin Yumo?"

Every word pierced her heart!

Wen Lin’s face turned pale.

She couldn’t help but feel a little empathetic; honestly, if it was truly like Cheng Lie said, and she went back to that time, she probably wouldn’t even look at Cheng Lie.

So, her former self-righteous belief of meeting the right person at the wrong time was entirely nonexistent.

If it were the right time, then Cheng Lie would definitely be the wrong person...

But she couldn’t help but argue, "I’m... I’m not that kind of person, Cheng Lie, you’re different."

Cheng Lie saw Wen Lin’s panic and the heartbreak and regret after her dream was shattered, but he didn’t plan to let her go.

"Yet you look down on Yun Shifei, thinking she’s not as good as you in any way."

"I..." Wen Lin didn’t know how to deny it.

Cheng Lie actually knew even this.

Cheng Lie smiled, "See, you’re that kind of person, Wen Lin, no need to deny it."

You admire the strong, and if the other person is inferior, you’ll look down on them.

Even if given a chance, you can’t become another Yun Shifei.

Cheng Lie thought of Yun Shifei, the girl who was the only one in the world to bring him light at that time.

For anyone else, it probably wouldn’t have been possible.

Wen Lin was almost in tears, her whole body trembling, her heart also trembling, thinking about many things. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Wanting to explain, but her lips trembled, unable to utter a word.

Cheng Lie looked at her rare vulnerable appearance but said nothing, his gaze falling on the termination contract, "I originally thought Miss Wen and I could cooperate, but now it seems I was overthinking. Miss Wen, the next time we meet, we won’t be friends."

In the business world, if you’re not friends, then you’re competitors.

Wen Lin couldn’t help but say, "Cheng Lie, you can’t do this to me!"

Cheng Lie had reached this stage not only with the Qin Family’s help but also with the Wen Family’s support, yet he was so ungrateful.

At this point, Cheng Lie had already stood up to leave. Hearing Wen Lin’s words, he paused and turned to Wen Lin, "I’ve already let you go, or I wouldn’t have let you speak nonsense to the media."

Wen Lin: "..."

So, even this was something he bestowed upon her?

Otherwise, would he have told the media the truth? Smearing her reputation.

So, does that mean she should thank him?

Wen Lin bit her lip and could only watch Cheng Lie’s figure leave in the end.

She thought about what Cheng Lie said just now, and her heart died little by little.

There’s nothing more desperate in this world than this, like a starving person fantasizing endlessly about a delicious meal in front of them.

Even if they die, they would die amidst beautiful fantasies.

But now, someone had shattered her fantasy, telling her that it was impossible, that such a situation couldn’t exist. How was she supposed to accept that?

She thought Cheng Lie’s heart was truly ruthless.

Not only had he shattered all her fantasies, but now they couldn’t even be partners anymore. Cheng Lie, did he want to become her competitor?

She really couldn’t imagine how it would be to have Cheng Lie standing on the opposite side of her.

After all, she had feelings for him and wouldn’t have the heart to hurt him, but if Cheng Lie truly went against her, she would be heartbroken.

Thinking of this, Wen Lin took a deep breath and rubbed her reddened eyes.

She forced herself to calm down.

In the future, she must become stronger.

Being enemies with Cheng Lie was not her idea, but if it really came to that, she would have to take it one step at a time.

To be twisted by love to such an extent, Wen Lin also found herself quite laughable.

Yun Shifei didn’t know how Cheng Lie handled things with Wen Lin, only that they probably weren’t cooperating anymore.

Cheng Lie was still in the development stage, and losing the cooperation with the Wen Family would likely slow his progress a lot.

But she thought it was better that Wen Lin, always coveting Cheng Lie, was not cooperating with him.

She returned to her happy life.

She was developing her shopping website more and more, of course, with Cheng Lie supporting her in the background; otherwise, relying solely on her and her roommates, she would definitely be exhausted.

She busied herself with studies and the website and occasionally went out happily with Cheng Lie, living quite an enjoyable life.

Of course, she was also very concerned about the progress of Xu Yuejiao’s relationship.

Xu Yuejiao and Zhou Li’s relationship seemed to be the same as before.

"He seems colder to me than before now, no matter how I try to talk to him, he just ignores me." Xu Yuejiao sighed, "I was wrong, I really shouldn’t have just given his family money back then."

"It’s okay, Sister Jiaojiao. Zhou Li probably doesn’t sincerely dislike you." It’s just a man’s pride, and this feeling won’t disappear until he’s truly strong.

And how many years will it take for Zhou Li to become strong? At least until after graduating a few years later.

After all, not everyone is as exceptionally gifted as Cheng Lie.

Xu Yuejiao heard Yun Shifei’s words and sighed again, "I really envy your relationship with Cheng Lie; there are never any conflicts."

Yun Shifei chuckled, "Our conflicts just don’t show in front of you."

She certainly knew Cheng Lie’s troubles, as she often went to sleep with him, and Cheng Lie always woke up looking quite drained.

Previously, Yun Shifei was a bit afraid of getting close to him, but now she found it more and more fun.

Of course, she also knew that it was because Cheng Lie tolerated her that she could be so carefree.

Otherwise, if it were another man, he might have lost control long ago.

Sometimes she also thought she might have turned a bit bad.

So, she wondered if she should reward Cheng Lie with some sweetness.

Thinking of this, her heart started to race.

And over there, Cheng Lie was always working hard, with the company’s performance improving, and the products they developed and launched were well-received.

Everything was on track, and he also knew that only with remarkable achievements could he meet Yun Tiancheng.
