After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 95 She’s Quite Bold

"I’m heading to my grandma’s place in a couple of days; I’ll bring you back some tasty food then," Yun Shifei said with a bright smile.

Thinking about seeing Old Mrs. Xu again, Yun Shifei felt elated.

Along with grandpa, and her cousins.

In her past life, she hadn’t been close with them at all, even though they were genuinely nice people.

Cheng Lie glanced at Yun Shifei, who was smiling so happily—just over food?

He thought to himself, unlike her, he didn’t have much interest in food. Yet she always gave him things to eat.

Could she really be hoping he’d put on some weight?

The idea made Cheng Lie’s heart tremble subtly.

Back at their apartment complex, Yun Shifei turned to look at Cheng Lie before getting out of the car.

The boy’s expression remained indifferent, as always.

Yun Shifei couldn’t help but reach out and ruffle Cheng Lie’s hair. "I guess I’ll be staying at my grandma’s place for about a month. We’ll meet again then."

As soon as she finished, Yun Shifei immediately hopped out of the car, not looking back as she walked away.

Leaving Cheng Lie frozen in confusion.

Replaying what had just happened, he couldn’t believe—she actually touched his hair?

All these years, since arriving at the Cheng Family, not a single person had ever done that.

She had quite the nerve.

Yun Shifei’s heartbeat raced—she could practically hear it herself.

Oh my god! What did she just do? She actually ruffled the big guy’s hair.

It was something she’d secretly wanted to do for a long time.

Today, she finally fulfilled her wish!

As the reality of having tempted fate like that sank in, Yun Shifei couldn’t help but laugh.

Years later, when Cheng Lie would become someone truly powerful, she could brag about it—she once ruffled his hair.

What Yun Shifei didn’t know was that in the future, Cheng Lie wouldn’t just let her ruffle his hair... he’d give her his life if she asked.

During the summer break, Yun Shifei originally thought she’d be heading back with Yun Sisi.

But unexpectedly, the day before departure, Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya announced they would be joining them.

"Shifei, you’ve been back for so long, but Dad hasn’t had the chance to take you on a proper trip. It happens that there’s a summer resort in your grandma’s area—we can stay there for a few days."

Yun Shifei and Yun Sisi could continue playing at Old Mrs. Xu’s place, while he and Xu Ya would return afterward.

This, he explained, was a plan he and Xu Ya had worked out together.

Xu Ya had promised him she wanted to make amends to Yun Shifei for past mistakes, and she’d suggested taking advantage of their free time to go on a family trip.

The aim was to use the trip to strengthen their family bond.

"Sounds good," Yun Shifei agreed without much thought. Spending a few days together as a family wasn’t a bad idea.

Seeing Yun Shifei agree, Xu Ya couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She exchanged a glance with Yun Tiancheng.

She was determined to repair her relationship with her daughter.

After all, between a mother and her own daughter, there should be no grudges that last overnight.

Shifei was so considerate—surely she would forgive her.

Two days later, they set off for Old Mrs. Xu’s home.

Old Mrs. Xu lived in the South City Suburb, a little over two hours away by car.

Yun Tiancheng drove, Xu Ya sat in the passenger seat.

Yun Shifei and Yun Sisi sat in the back.

As Yun Shifei stared at the scenery speeding by outside the window, she felt an unexpected twinge of unease.

Could Cheng Lie manage okay on his own for the month?

After all, they’d been seeing each other daily lately—she even went over to his place on weekends for lessons.

Now they wouldn’t meet for about a month. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Would he eat properly?

Soon, Yun Shifei caught herself feeling she was being overly self-important; they’d only spent the past three or four months together—who did she think she was?

Her expression shifted rapidly as she mulled over thoughts in her mind.

Yun Sisi, bored, had been watching Yun Shifei and caught her conflicted look—it was as though she’d uncovered some kind of dirt.

"Sis, what’s wrong? You’re not happy about going on this trip with us?"

Yun Shifei snapped out of her thoughts and looked back at Yun Sisi.

She saw both Yun Sisi and Xu Ya watching her.

"Not at all," Yun Shifei shook her head quickly. "I was just thinking about my grades; I’m not sure how I did on the finals."

Final exam grades wouldn’t be released so soon.

Teachers still needed time to grade everything.

Such a convenient excuse. If Yun Shifei were truly worried about her grades, she would’ve shown signs of it after taking the exams—not now.

Yun Sisi didn’t believe Yun Shifei for a second.

She was convinced Yun Shifei was lying.

But Xu Ya, to Yun Sisi’s dismay, actually believed Yun Shifei.

"It’s okay, Shifei. Keep your eyes on the bigger picture—there’s still two years before the college entrance exams. Everything you do now is preparing for them; take your time, there’s plenty of time left."

"Exactly," Yun Tiancheng chimed in from the driver’s seat. "Shifei, your grades are already solid. If you put in just a little more effort, you’ll definitely get into a good college."

Yun Sisi was practically fuming.

Why did they always support Yun Shifei?

Her grades were so average, yet she received reassurance.

Meanwhile, her grades were exceptional, but even Old Mrs. Xu had said she still had room for improvement last time.

"Room for improvement"—what kind of passive-aggressive comment was that?

Yun Sisi found it downright suffocating.

It was simply because Yun Shifei was their biological daughter—their expectations for her were so low.

But with Yun Sisi, they demanded so much more.

Yun Shifei could feel Yun Sisi’s simmering resentment. She glanced at her briefly.

She realized Yun Sisi had become increasingly unable to keep her composure.

In her past life, Yun Sisi had seemed to never get upset—always wearing a perpetual gentle smile.

But this lifetime, Yun Sisi kept having moments where she couldn’t hold it together.

Yun Shifei cast her gaze downward. The truth was, Yun Sisi’s temperament wasn’t as inscrutable as it appeared. She simply threw tantrums whenever things didn’t go her way.

Her life had been far too smooth and effortless—she hadn’t faced true hardships, so even minor setbacks would ruin her composure.

Yun Shifei, however, wasn’t like that.

Precisely because she’d experienced so much, no matter how tough things got, she’d learned to accept them with equanimity.

Getting angry wouldn’t solve anything.

What Yun Shifei didn’t know was that Yun Sisi had caught her glance.

To Yun Sisi, it felt like Yun Shifei was mocking her.

Absolutely insufferable!

Who did she think she was to look down on her?

"Just wait. Once we get there, she’ll get what’s coming to her."

"Unfamiliar territory, right? If she mysteriously disappeared again... coming back would be a challenge."

Eventually, the car entered Nantian Town, the small township where Old Mrs. Xu lived.

This area hadn’t been fully urbanized like the Nancheng City District and still preserved its traditional rural charm.

Yun Tiancheng parked the car in front of a house.

This was the Xu Family home.

It retained the classic style of a traditional courtyard house—a design Old Mrs. Xu insisted on preserving.

She believed such architecture was the most beautiful.

Recall Old Mrs. Xu often wore vintage dresses, Yun Shifei thought—it made sense why she preferred staying here rather than the city; nowhere else could beat this place’s atmosphere.

In her past life, Yun Shifei had visited the Xu Family home once.

Back then, it had been just a casual visit.

Old Mrs. Xu had even asked if she wanted to stay and play for a few days, but Yun Shifei had vehemently refused.

At the time, she didn’t like fostering close relationships.

Thinking back now, she realized how much she had missed out on.
