After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 351: Chapter 351 Not That Fond

The steam rising from the hotpot swirled in the air, like a barrier placed between the two of them.

But even so, Yun Shifei felt no sense of security.

Through the white veil, Cheng Lie’s gaze fixed on her unwaveringly.

Yun Shifei: "..."

She ate quietly while Cheng Lie, across from her, said nothing—continuing to add ingredients to the pot, cooking them, and then scooping them into her bowl once they were ready.

Finally, Yun Shifei couldn’t hold back and asked, "Why aren’t you eating?"

Cheng Lie replied indifferently, "Not hungry."

Meaning, he just wanted to watch her eat.

Yun Shifei had shared countless meals with Cheng Lie in the past. Back when their relationship was good, he’d even eat the leftovers from her plate without hesitation.

At that time, she didn’t feel even the slightest discomfort about it.

But now, this was probably the most awkward meal she had ever had with Cheng Lie.

Not only did Cheng Lie refuse to eat, but he kept staring at her—

It was terrifying!

Yun Shifei felt a little like crying and could only continue eating in slow, measured bites.

Cheng Lie observed Yun Shifei’s timid posture as she ate and couldn’t help but curl his lips in amusement. Was this all it took to scare her?

Cheng Lie thought it wasn’t nearly enough.

After all, how had she treated him back then? A casual, dismissive remark about breaking up—did she have any idea how much it had hurt him? She probably would never truly understand how much pain he felt during that time.

So he decided to make his heart colder, refusing to show any care for her discomfort.

Her pain was necessary—only then would she learn her lesson.
