After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Proposing Marriage to the Yun Family

Yun Sisi quickly adjusted her expression and tone: "I just... I just can’t bear to see you upset, Brother Mu. After all, this is your birthday banquet, and it almost got ruined by my sister. Though she is my dear sister and someone I deeply respect, she shouldn’t act recklessly."

Yun Sisi’s words dispelled Mu Chengzhu’s doubts; it turned out Yun Sisi was worried about him.

In her heart, he mattered more than Yun Shifei.

This realization put Mu Chengzhu in a good mood.

He curved his lips into a bright smile: "Sisi, don’t be angry anymore. Getting upset over people like this isn’t worth it."

Yun Sisi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Their eyes entangled under the moonlight. Though no words were exchanged, their feelings for each other were already laid bare.

When Mu Chengzhu returned home, Mu Jiayu had already laid out all his birthday gifts.

Yun Sisi’s gift was placed front and center, separated from the others.

"Brother, I really want to see what gift Sisi gave you."

Yun Sisi’s gift was small and wrapped in pink gift paper.

Mu Chengzhu opened it, revealing a delicate cup.

"Wow, it’s a cup!" Mu Jiayu’s eyes sparkled. "Brother, do you know what a cup symbolizes?"

"It means ’a lifetime’! Looks like Sisi likes you too," Mu Jiayu said excitedly, then called to Chen Min, "Mom, we can go propose marriage to the Yun Family now. Let’s arrange for Sisi to get engaged to Brother. Otherwise, if such an excellent girl grows up, it’ll be a pity if someone else snatches her away."

Chen Min chuckled and shook her head: "You silly girl. I’m certainly willing, but Uncle Yun definitely won’t agree. She’s just a young girl, with her studies still being the priority."

Then, Chen Min turned to Mu Chengzhu: "Chengzhu, let’s wait a few more years. Once you both are in college, I’ll discuss the matter with your Uncle Yun."

Mu Chengzhu’s face turned slightly red as he stared at the cup, lost in thought.

"Just throw away the lucky bamboo that Yun Shifei gave. It was in her room before—seeing it gives bad luck." Mu Jiayu picked up the lucky bamboo that Yun Shifei gave Mu Chengzhu, brimming with distaste, ready to toss it outside.

Chen Min immediately stopped her: "No matter what, it’s still that child’s sincere gesture—you can’t throw it away."

"Mom, weren’t you watching today? She even humiliated Brother."

What should have been clarification of a situation seemed like humiliation through Mu Jiayu’s eyes.
