After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Agree

Listening to the young man recount the past, Yun Tiancheng couldn’t help but reflect on his own memories.

Back then, when Cheng Lie had just moved into their neighborhood, he was just a child—so frail, yet undeniably beautiful, although he seldom spoke.

At the time, Yun Tiancheng wasn’t familiar with the Cheng Family and had only looked at Cheng Lie a couple of times. After that, Cheng Lie stayed holed up in the Cheng Family home and hardly ever went out.

Later, Yun Tiancheng learned about the neglect and mistreatment Cheng Lie suffered at the Cheng Family house.

He didn’t expect that young Cheng Lie, who had gone through so much hardship, had endured unimaginable struggles just to survive and escape from the Cheng Family.

It was true—he’d previously noticed that even the Cheng Family’s domestic workers dared to abuse Cheng Lie. Naturally, the other family members were even worse.

Thinking of this, Yun Tiancheng’s heart softened a little. "If you hadn’t taken those steps, who knows where you’d be now."

Cheng Lie lowered his gaze and remained silent for a long stretch before finally lifting his head. "There was a time when I thought my world would forever grow in this darkness. And then Shi Fei appeared."

That was the time the two of them had been inexplicably trapped together in an abandoned house, leading to their first connection.

Later, when he was being bullied by Song Yang, she stood up for him with courage.

And then there was Cheng Guomin, who seemed to deliberately, albeit indirectly, push him toward Yun Shifei—even going so far as to suggest they should marry.

What an absurd idea. Yet this became the opportunity for him to get closer to her.

Had it not been for these circumstances, he doubted he would now be with Yun Shifei. Even after exacting revenge, he feared he’d still be living consumed by repression and coldness.

Yun Tiancheng first felt the weight of the immense hardship Cheng Lie had endured. Hearing Cheng Lie mention Yun Shifei, he noticed the softening of Cheng Lie’s features, the faint smile tugging at his lips.

This kind of affection couldn’t be feigned.

Yun Tiancheng shared Cheng Lie’s sentiment, imagining that if he had been in Cheng Lie’s shoes, with Yun Shifei consistently bringing warmth into his life, it would be impossible to forget her or not fall for her. It was only natural.

When someone extends kindness in a time when the whole world seems to be kicking you while you’re down, how could you not feel moved?

Yun Tiancheng sighed softly. Shi Fei truly was a kindhearted girl—she’d saved Cheng Lie.

Thinking of this, Yun Tiancheng asked again, "I heard that when my company faced a crisis previously, you were the one who resolved it?"
