After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Burst into Laughter

Cheng Lie heard what Yun Shifei said and froze for a moment, as though he hadn’t expected her to say that.

He truly hadn’t thought that the time they had spent together recently could be so haphazard to her—so haphazard that she wasn’t even sure if he liked her.

Cheng Lie let out a small laugh in anger, his dark eyes fixed tightly on Yun Shifei, yet he didn’t say a word.

Under the weight of his gaze, Yun Shifei lowered her eyes, not daring to meet him.

"What do you mean by ’not liking that much’?" After a long moment, Cheng Lie asked.

He enunciated each word, and as they left his lips, there was a distinct grinding of teeth undertone.

Wasn’t it true? Yun Shifei thought about the time she proposed breaking up, and Cheng Lie had said nothing at all. Even during this period of meeting up with her, his demeanor remained so understated.

He was always so cold, detached, as if everything in life was merely fleeting and inconsequential.

She had always believed that he didn’t like her very much. And of course, thinking about it another way, if he didn’t like her that much, then when she brought up the breakup, she wouldn’t feel pained because he was hurting.

She wanted to explain herself, but as she opened her mouth, she suddenly didn’t know what to say.

At that moment, Cheng Lie stood up, glanced sideways at her, and said, "I’ll take you to see something."

He had been restraining his emotions for so long, and now he could no longer hold them back.

Yun Shifei suddenly felt Cheng Lie had changed—his eyes seemed to be swallowed by darkness, with no trace of light within.

She felt a bit scared and clutched at the cushion in her arms.

"I’m a little tired. Can we go another day?"

Even if she was a fool, she could tell Cheng Lie was angry at this moment. So she tried to appease him, saying sweetly, "Cheng Lie, was my earlier comment out of line? I’m sorry, please don’t be mad at me."

Her voice was soft and gentle, like the brush of a kitten’s tail across someone’s heart.

Normally, he would let her off easily, but not this time. Thinking about the torment he had endured during this period—the pain she seemed completely oblivious to—and worse still, her doubting his feelings for her...
