After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 311: Chapter 311: She was the one reaching for someone out of her league

"He fully supports me dating," Yun Shifei curved her lips slightly. She definitely wouldn’t tell Cheng Lie about Yun Tiancheng’s criticisms of him.

She knew Cheng Lie had been through so much; his heart must be sensitive.

Just hearing Yun Tiancheng say those things made her feel sad, let alone telling the person involved.

Cheng Lie was wonderful. It wasn’t that he didn’t deserve her—it was her who was reaching above her station.

Hearing this, Cheng Lie’s heart eased slightly.

"I haven’t told him about us yet. Next time, if he wants to meet you, I’ll bring it up," Yun Shifei continued.

Cheng Lie responded with an "okay": "When the time comes, I’ll make a good impression."

Cheng Lie spoke naturally, but perhaps it was this very naturalness that caused Yun Shifei’s cheeks to flush.

"My dad liked you before, and I’m sure he’ll like you in the future too," she told Cheng Lie.

Yun Tiancheng wasn’t an unreasonable person; he simply hadn’t seen the good in Cheng Lie yet.

Cheng Lie responded again with a soft "okay."

Yun Shifei said it confidently, but deep down, even he wasn’t sure if Yun Tiancheng would accept them being together.

Most likely, he wouldn’t.

After all, he had once crushed the Cheng Family so ruthlessly, showing no mercy. Plus, there were his earlier struggles with "autism," his less-than-ideal personality, and the fact that he hadn’t pursued formal education.

By all accounts, he wasn’t a proper match for Yun Shifei.

He had never been willing to admit it, but deep in some obscure corner of his heart, there lingered a small sense of self-doubt when it came to love.

The gap between them was growing wider and wider.

Their bond was no longer like it had been in the past, when they were two children ostracized together in class.
