After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Youthful Arrogance

Mu Chengzhu turned his thoughts and said to Cheng Lie, "I came to Beijing to look for Shi Fei."

He knew that Cheng Lie must be different from the past now. He would investigate him, delve into his background, and confirm whether what he claimed was true.

Cheng Lie’s eyes narrowed slightly. He fixed his gaze on Mu Chengzhu, trying to see through his thoughts.

Mu Chengzhu stared back at him.

Two men, neither yielding, as if this exchange of glances would determine their very survival.

Mu Chengzhu felt victory within his grasp.

"You know, Shi Fei and I share a secret."

The word "secret" was like a stone, crashing against Cheng Lie’s chest.

Cheng Lie recalled that day when Yun Shifei interacted with Mu Chengzhu. She hadn’t shown the disgust toward him that Cheng Lie had expected.

Mu Chengzhu had even promised her to keep the secret between the two of them.

What kind of secret existed between them? Cheng Lie pondered this for a long time without finding any clue.

"Cheng Lie, in the past, you occupied a heavy place in her heart, but the future might not be the same."

Mu Chengzhu observed Cheng Lie’s expression closely, knowing he had bet correctly.

When it came to Yun Shifei, Cheng Lie really lacked confidence.

He thought, whatever their secret was, Yun Shifei would never reveal it to Cheng Lie. Cheng Lie was nothing more than an outsider to them.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Cheng Lie suddenly let out a mocking laugh.

His deep, dark eyes carried a cold light—a suffocating, overwhelming intensity that left no place to hide.

"Mu Chengzhu, you think you have what it takes?"

His tone was icy and arrogant, as if he didn’t believe a word Mu Chengzhu said.

This young man was utterly different from what he’d imagined, Mu Chengzhu thought to himself.

His mood shifted from initial relaxation to growing tension.
