Chapter 196: If All Else Fails, She’ll Just Support Him

Chapter 196: Chapter 196: If All Else Fails, She’ll Just Support Him

Cheng Guomin didn’t think much and said to Cheng Lie, "Then Xiao Lie, go find Shi Fei."

The better their relationship is, the more beneficial it is to him.

Right now, Yun Shifei is the only daughter of the Yun Family. If nothing unexpected happens, all of Yun Tiancheng’s wealth will likely be passed down to Yun Shifei.

On the other side, Yun Shifei, who was reading a book, heard the doorbell ring. When she opened the door, she saw Cheng Lie standing there.

Yun Shifei blinked at the cold-faced young man before her, while Cheng Lie also quietly looked at her.

After a while, he naturally walked into her home and sat down on the sofa.

Yun Shifei blinked for two seconds before reacting. She hadn’t gone to find Cheng Lie, yet Cheng Lie came to find her?

Just as Yun Shifei was thinking about what to do, she heard the boy’s faint voice say, "Have... have you abandoned me?"

The words were so calm, as though devoid of emotion, yet Yun Shifei could sense a hint of grievance in them.

He seemed like a child who had been left behind, pitiable and sad.

She felt an unexpected pang of heartache.

"No, I’ve just been busy with school lately, so I haven’t had the time to look for you."

Cheng Lie’s gaze remained fixed on her, as if he couldn’t believe her words. She was lying—surely she didn’t care about him anymore.

Under his intense gaze, Yun Shifei felt a sense of guilt rising in her heart.

Why did she feel as though she was a heartless scoundrel who had abandoned her partner and child?

Still, Cheng Lie’s appearance seemed to remind her that her aloofness toward him had been rather crude and over-the-top.

After all, Cheng Lie had clearly been kind to her, yet she kept her distance simply out of fear.

But he didn’t know what she was afraid of. He also didn’t know that he would be a future leader. Right now, he was being bullied by the Cheng Family, devoid of power and status. Finally, when he had a friend, that friend distanced herself from him—Cheng Lie must have felt upset.

Yun Shifei was naturally sentimental and felt increasingly like the worst kind of person.

She hurriedly grabbed some snacks and sodas and handed them to Cheng Lie, saying, "Eat these."
