After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Regret

"""

Everything has consequences. If it weren’t for how cold Xu Ya once was to Yun Shifei, why would Yun Shifei treat her like this now?

Thinking about it, Xu Ya felt an ache so deep in her heart.

But she could no longer bring herself to ask Yun Shifei for forgiveness, because she wasn’t sure she could follow through. If she failed, speaking up would only make Yun Shifei disappointed in her again.

Trust eroded bit by bit, leaving only more resentment.

Xu Ya didn’t want to leave so soon. After a moment’s thought, she asked, "What time does your dad usually come home?"

"Dad’s been out of town on a business trip recently."

Xu Ya was surprisingly unaware that Yun Tiancheng was on a business trip.

Yesterday, she had called Yun Tiancheng to say she was coming to pick up some things, and he hadn’t mentioned a word.

Had their feelings grown so distant during these months of separation that she no longer knew his whereabouts?

So Yun Shifei had been living alone all this time?

"How long has your dad been away?"

"Almost a week now. He’ll be back tomorrow."

Yun Shifei answered while teasing the puppy.

The pup was chewing on the rabbit-shaped decoration of her cotton slippers. The slippers, which were once perfectly fine, now had the rabbit’s head nearly torn off.

Quite the little savage.

She made a show of raising her hand to swat the puppy. A one-year-old pup truly had such mischievous energy.

Xu Ya sat quietly by the side, watching Yun Shifei play with the puppy.

"No biting. If you keep chewing, I’m going to spank you!"

"Woof!"

"You dare bark at me? Pretty bold, aren’t you?"

Yun Shifei grabbed the pup by the cheeks and gave it a good, playful rub.

At this rate, the poor dog might just end up bald.
