After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Does She Still Love Him?

Cheng Lie gently touched her hair. "Then eat a little more."

"That’s not possible, I’m dieting lately." She realized she’d indeed gained quite a bit of weight, her flesh was soft and loose—it was distressing. She needed to eat less and exercise properly.

Cheng Lie simply replied, "It doesn’t matter, the way you feel now is just perfect."

This man—no matter how she was, he always thought she was fine.

Yun Shifei couldn’t help but glare at him. She muttered, "That’s not good, I still think losing a bit of weight looks better. You wouldn’t understand how annoying it is for girls—once we gain even a little weight, we can’t find nice clothes to wear."

Cheng Lie’s gaze fell on her red coat. "Is this your new outfit?"

Yun Shifei nodded. "After my dad found out I was seeing someone, he feared I’d spend less time with him in the future, so he’s been buying things for me like crazy."

He’d bought so many clothes—she wouldn’t repeat outfits even for an entire season.

Cheng Lie chuckled. "Your dad cares for you deeply."

"Yes, he does."

Cheng Lie lowered his gaze, his thoughts drifting to Cheng Guomin. Because he had grown up as an illegitimate child hidden away from the world, Cheng Guomin had adored him fiercely in a twisted way—and also sought to ruin him.

Unfortunately for Cheng Guomin, by the time he brought him home, Cheng Lie’s mind had already matured.

If he had been brought back a few years earlier, perhaps he might have been broken beyond repair.

But by then, he was already in elementary school—an age where right and wrong were clear. How could he be ruined so easily?

Yun Shifei noticed Cheng Lie’s silence and thought to herself, could he be thinking about Cheng Guomin?

The memories of everything Cheng Lie had gone through pricked at Yun Shifei’s heart, filling it with an ache.

From the moment she decided she wanted to be his friend, she resolved to protect him forever. Even though he had grown strong enough now that he no longer needed her protection, Yun Shifei still wanted to stand guard over him.

Eager to break the melancholy, she said quickly, "Cheng Lie, my dad loves me, and I love you—that means together we both love you. Doesn’t that make you feel incredibly lucky?"
