After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Change

The human heart is made of flesh. Thinking back now, Yun Shifei was only a teenager, and she had never felt warmth from her parents. She had barely begun to believe she might be cherished by them, only to discover that the love she received was distant, polite, and heartbreakingly fake.

Xu Ya thought about it more and more, and her heart felt increasingly uneasy.

After a while, she said, "I understand... From now on, I’ll treat both Shifei and Sisi equally, without favoritism."

Upon hearing Xu Ya’s promise, Yun Tiancheng said nothing further.

This was the best outcome.

He was busy with work, spending most of his time at the company, and occasionally needing to travel.

Xu Ya interacted with the children more often. Only if she listened to what he said could Shifei have a better life.

He thought of the scene just now when he helped Yun Shifei apply medicine and couldn’t help sighing deeply: "This child is too sensible—so sensible that it makes my heart ache. I feel like I wronged her terribly back then."

Xu Ya heard his words, lowered her gaze, and remained silent for a long time.

After that day, Yun Shifei noticed that the people and things around her seemed to be changing.

In the morning, Xu Ya helped Yun Sisi tie her hair as usual—two exquisite braids pinned to either side, making Yun Sisi look pure and lovely.

"Shifei, come here. Mom will help you comb your hair," Xu Ya gestured toward Yun Shifei.

Yun Shifei froze for a moment.

Her hair was shoulder-length and didn’t need to be tied up; she always brushed it casually in the morning by herself.

Xu Ya had never helped her comb her hair before.

But she still walked over to Xu Ya.

Xu Ya carefully combed her hair, adjusted the collar of her school uniform, and straightened it.

"Shifei, the driver uncle will take you to school later. Study hard in class, and don’t hesitate to ask your teacher questions. Mom will arrange for a tutor for you in the coming days," Xu Ya instructed word by word.

Yun Shifei nodded blankly, unable to understand why Xu Ya had suddenly changed.

Last night, Yun Sisi was obviously at fault, but she couldn’t bring herself to scold her.

So now, was she trying to make up for what she did wrong yesterday?

Just like the last time, when Yun Shifei caught Xu Ya buying clothes for Yun Sisi but not for her. Feeling guilty, Xu Ya promised to take her shopping over the weekend.

Yun Shifei didn’t know how to handle such situations and could only instinctively nod.
