After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 17: Chapter 17 She’s Just a Poor Little Thing

Yun Shifei turned her head to look at Cheng Lie.

Meeting those pitch-black, deep eyes.

Cold, harsh, sinister, with not a trace of light.

She was genuinely surprised, as she had never heard him speak before.

But then again, it made sense. Cheng Lie’s condition wasn’t particularly severe, and autism didn’t mean he was mute. Why couldn’t he talk?

But the first words he chose to say were to tell her not to meddle?

He wasn’t truly hostile; he was just trying to protect himself, wasn’t he?
