After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Really Taking Him for a Fool?

On New Year’s Eve, Yun Shifei and Yun Tiancheng were busy in the kitchen.

Yun Tiancheng was steaming fish.

He placed the marinated fish on top of ginger slices and set it into the pot to steam.

The Yun Family tradition was that every year on Chinese New Year, fish must be eaten, symbolizing abundance year after year.

The dishes he prepared were mostly the traditional foods for the New Year, but he added a few sweet dishes like rice wine dumplings, sweet-and-sour pork ribs, and glutinous rice lotus root, because Yun Shifei had a sweet tooth.

Yun Shifei wasn’t idle either; she helped out alongside him.

She eagerly suggested, "Dad, let me stir-fry some vegetables! I can cook a few dishes too, you know."

In her past life, she had learned how to cook, though she hadn’t taken it seriously yet. Usually, Aunt Zhong was the one who cooked.

"Alright, give it a try then," Yun Tiancheng said with a smile, looking at the obedient Yun Shifei.

Watching Yun Shifei busying herself in the kitchen, Yun Tiancheng felt a wave of emotions. Over the years, every Chinese New Year, he would wonder if Yun Shifei was doing well wherever she was.

This year, she was finally back.

But Xu Ya and Yun Sisi weren’t here.

He still didn’t understand why such a good family had ended up like this.

He had hoped that Yun Shifei’s return would lead to a happy life for the family of four, but things didn’t go as he wished.

Yun Tiancheng couldn’t help but sigh. Perhaps this was fate.

All he could do was take things one step at a time.

But one thing he was certain of: he couldn’t give up on Shifei. This girl was so sensible and kind, having endured so many hardships in the past. From now on, he would give her the best of everything.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was sumptuous, but it was just Yun Shifei and Yun Tiancheng at the table.

Yun Shifei felt a bit regretful and said, "It’s just the two of us. We can’t finish it all."

Wasteful, really.

"It’s alright if we don’t finish it. It’s New Year; we need to eat well no matter what," Yun Tiancheng said, picking food for Yun Shifei. "After dinner, let’s go outside and set off some fireworks."

Just as Yun Tiancheng finished speaking, a loud boom sounded outside the window. Yun Shifei turned to look and saw a brilliant firework blooming in the sky.
