After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Don’t You Like Me Anymore?

Yun Shifei walked toward the private room with Zhao Pan.

The closer she got, the more unsettled she felt. Cheng Lie had probably grown into a little big-shot by now, hadn’t he? She wondered how he was doing.

The door opened, and Zhao Pan said to Yun Shifei, "Miss Yun, please."

Yun Shifei stepped inside and saw the young man sitting on the sofa.

After half a year without seeing him, his face had shed some of its youthful softness. His features were sharper, his facial structure more defined—a boy transitioning into a man.

The calm and unperturbed demeanor he carried was even more pronounced now.

He wore a black shirt, his complexion pale as ever, but his eyes, once indifferent, now sparkled with intensity. Yet beneath it all, there was still an icy, dark undertone.

This was a feeling distinctly different from the Cheng Lie Yun Shifei had once known.

Back then, Cheng Lie was cold, but she had attributed it to his autism—it felt natural at the time.

Now, however, his coldness left her feeling uneasy.

Especially since his gaze was fixed squarely on her, making her too afraid to meet his eyes.

The intensity of his aura—it was unmistakably that of a big-shot.

Yun Shifei thought her heart was about to leap out of her chest. This was scarier than being called to the principal’s office for a talk.

"Shi Fei, long time no see." The young man’s voice sounded faint and calm, exactly as she remembered it.

No, perhaps not exactly. He must have gone through voice changes, as his tone was now deeper and more resonant.

This tiny familiarity helped Yun Shifei gradually find her footing.

She forced a small smile. "Long time no see."

She sat down across from Cheng Lie.

Cheng Lie silently appraised her.

A seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl, this was probably the peak of beauty—pure yet alluring, with a power to captivate hearts. No wonder so many people liked her.

Yun Shifei had hardly settled down before a variety of desserts began arriving, followed by a cup of milk tea placed in front of her.

"The desserts here are quite good," Cheng Lie said.
