After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 281: Chapter 281: You Will Be Soft-hearted?

Cheng Lie, after getting drunk, seemed far clingier than usual and actually held onto her clothes and refused to let go.

Yun Shifei couldn’t think of any other way, so she supported Cheng Lie and helped him into the house.

Cheng Lie’s house was heated, and as soon as she entered, Yun Shifei felt especially comfortable.

She removed Cheng Lie’s jacket, sat him down on the sofa, and then went to pour him a cup of hot water.

Seeing Cheng Lie sitting obediently, without causing the kind of drunken ruckus others might, Yun Shifei let out a sigh of relief.

After finishing these tasks, Yun Shifei made a phone call to Zhao Pan.

"Brother Zhao, can you come over to Cheng Lie’s house for a bit?" she asked.

At that moment, Zhao Pan had already parked his car near Cheng Lie’s house.

Just moments ago, when Cheng Lie told him to stay away, Zhao Pan wasn’t sure why, but after seeing Yun Shifei appear and help Cheng Lie leave, Zhao Pan had a vague guess about what was going on.

On one hand, he marveled at Mr. Cheng’s cunning; he didn’t know how Mr. Cheng managed to come up with such a conniving idea. Even though he’d followed Fourth Master for years and was used to witnessing his schemes, Zhao Pan still found himself in awe of Mr. Cheng’s ingenuity.

Really?

On the other hand, he thought to himself that no wonder Fourth Master valued Cheng Lie so highly—he must have seen a reflection of himself in him.

So now he was supposed to face Cheng Lie? Wouldn’t that be walking straight to his doom?

Earlier, he had already let Cheng Lie down, and now he couldn’t afford to sabotage Mr. Cheng again.

"What’s going on, Miss Yun?" He inquired casually, feigning ignorance.

"How could you all do this? You made him drink so much and didn’t even ensure he got home safely." At this point, Yun Shifei was visibly angry.

Listening to her voice brimming with annoyance, Zhao Pan felt like he was being unfairly blamed.

Fine. Since he had already inadvertently caused trouble for Cheng Lie before, he might as well accept responsibility in this instance.

"I’m sorry, Miss Yun. I didn’t know Mr. Cheng couldn’t handle his drinks that well." Zhao Pan replied cautiously, "At the time... Fourth Master needed me for something, so I had to leave."

After hanging up the phone, Yun Shifei found herself staring at a quiet Cheng Lie seated on the sofa, not knowing what to say.
