After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Contrast

She simply didn’t want to keep arguing with Mu Chengzhu.

But unexpectedly, just as she turned and walked through the door, Mu Chengzhu grabbed her hand: "If you have time today, I hope we can clear things up. Rest assured, if I’ve truly done something to wrong you, I will apologize."

Listening to the boy’s righteous words, for some reason, Yun Shifei thought back to her past life.

Can the matters of the past life be cleared up in this one?

No, they can’t.

At this moment, Mu Chengzhu hadn’t yet done what he did in her past life—he hadn’t pushed her off the upstairs balcony.

He was still as gentle and elegant as ever, the object of countless girls’ admiration.

He even treated her better than he did in her previous life.

The world has a way of being strangely ironic.

Before, when she chased after him like a desperate fool, Mu Chengzhu barely acknowledged her.

But now that she had decided to stay away from him, he wouldn’t let go of her.

He insisted on demanding the reason why.

Back then, the moment he did what he did decided for her: in this life, no matter how he changed, she wouldn’t allow herself to feel even a shred of emotion for him.

Not even anger.

With a cold expression, she pulled her hand back, stepped two paces away, and stared icily at Mu Chengzhu.

"Back then, didn’t you want me to leave you alone? Isn’t this exactly what you wanted now? There’s no need to dig up the past. From now on, I’ll stay far away from you."

Mu Chengzhu stood frozen, staring at Yun Shifei, unable to figure out where her indifference came from.

In the next moment, he heard the girl’s exceptionally gentle voice: "Cheng Lie, are you heading back?"

Mu Chengzhu lifted his head and saw Cheng Lie descending the stairs.

Their gazes met for a fleeting moment—Mu Chengzhu was utterly confused, while Cheng Lie’s eyes were hollow, seeming to look at him yet not truly seeing him.
