After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 320: Raising You with Plenty to Spare
Yun Shifei didnโt know how Cheng Lieโs life was nowadays; she only knew that he worked under Qin Chi Jin, and it seemed like they valued him quite a bit. ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐ท๐๐ซ๐๐ก.๐๐ธ๐ถ
But no matter how much they valued him, Cheng Lie was still just a worker for the Qin Family. Heโd only been working for about half a year, right? Living in such a luxurious apartment, plus his daily expenses, he probably hadnโt saved much money.
And every piece of clothing in this large mall was quite expensive. Just here, there were at least five or six pieces.
Yun Shifei immediately said, "Forget it, letโs go. I didnโt see anything I particularly liked."
Cheng Lie heard this and, as if he saw through her thoughts, said casually, "Are you thinking I donโt have money?"
Yun Shifei: "!!!"
How was she supposed to respond? She was afraid of Cheng Lieโs male pride kicking inโif he wanted to buy her clothes, heโd insist even if he didnโt have much money. That was what she feared.
But then Cheng Lie said to her, "Shi Fei, Iโve been working for so long, earned this much money. If I donโt spend it on you, then who else should I spend it on?"
If I donโt spend it on you, then who else...
When she heard this, Yun Shifeiโs mind hummed as if something had exploded. Her heart was racing wildly.
At this moment, she couldnโt tell whether she liked Cheng Lie more or Cheng Lie liked her more.
Oh my, God has truly been kind to her in this lifetime. Out of nowhere, she ended up with a great man.
And this great man loved her so much... Yun Shifei was so moved, she almost started crying.
But she couldnโt cry now. She steadied herself and looked at Cheng Lie for a long time before saying, "You... shouldnโt you spend the money you make on yourself?"
Cheng Lie didnโt continue the topic. He had the shop assistant wrap up the clothes and paid the bill, then took Yun Shifei to an ATM.
He inserted his card into the ATM and checked the balance. When Yun Shifei saw the amount displayed on the screen, her eyes widened in shock. She looked at Cheng Lie and said, "You really have money..."
Seeing the long string of numbers in his account, she had to count them one by one. Well, a great man really is a great manโeven if he wasnโt quite there yet, he already had a lot of money.
Cheng Lie couldnโt help but reach out and pat her hair. "Taking care of you is more than enough."
Yun Shifei flashed him an obedient smile but still said, "I donโt need you to take care of me. Iโll make money myself in the future! Cheng Lie, someday Iโll be as capable as you. I wonโt ever drag you down."
Cheng Lie didnโt understand where Yun Shifei got such confidence, always believing that he would become something incredibly impressive in the future. This kind of belief had been there since the time he pretended to have autism.
Thinking about it carefully, it was kind of strange.
Back then, no one believed in him except Yun Shifeiโit really was odd.
Even now, he hadnโt told her the specifics of his job, and from the way he was being managed by the Qin Family, he didnโt really seem like someone particularly outstanding.
Yet she still thought he would become spectacular in the future.
This unwavering faith was like believing in a universal truth.
Even though he liked Yun Shifei, he didnโt think her feelings for him could reach the point of blindly overestimating him like this.
Cheng Lie pressed his lips together and finally couldnโt help but ask her, "Why do you believe so firmly that Iโll be amazing someday?"
Upon hearing Cheng Lieโs question, Yun Shifeiโs heart skipped a beat. Oh no! Did he suspect something?
She felt her way of speaking was pretty normalโhe shouldnโt have noticed anything, right?
Yun Shifei smiled and said, "Of course! In my heart, youโre pretty special. Maybe you donโt realize it, but since high school, I always felt you were different. Donโt they say autism has a flip side of genius? Back then, I thought you were a genius. And now, at such a young age, the Qin Family values you so muchโitโs enough to prove that youโll definitely become extraordinary in the future."
Yun Shifeiโs explanation seemed logical, but if you thought deeply, something felt off.
Cheng Lie didnโt want to dig into it too much.
If he really wanted to know, he could pick any random moment, put her under hypnosis when she was in a vulnerable state, and sheโd spill all her secrets.
But he didnโt want to do that.
He liked her, so he believed in her. He trusted that one day, sheโd willingly share all her secrets with him.
Since Cheng Lie had bought Yun Shifei several outfits, Yun Shifei repaid the favor by buying a few light-colored sweaters and jackets for him.
"You always wear dark clothesโit looks so gloomy. Young people should dress like young people, wear lighter colors to look more vibrant."
Since Cheng Lie rarely wore bright red, he shouldnโt have any issues with white and off-white, right?
They wandered around for a while and ended up buying lots of things.
Yun Shifei was exhausted and had Cheng Lie carry the bags while she went to buy bubble tea.
Cheng Lie stood nearby, watching her queue up for bubble tea. His gaze was as soft as water.
In this moment, life felt peaceful. He truly wished for this kind of quiet life.
"Hey, Ah Lin, look! Isnโt that Cheng Lie?"
Wen Lin had made plans to go out with a friend. As they chatted, her friend spotted Cheng Lie and pointed him out. Turning her head, Wen Lin indeed saw him not far away.
Wen Lin had finally confided to her closest friend that she liked Cheng Lie.
This friend had also seen Cheng Lie before at a gathering. His striking appearance was unforgettable; youโd remember him at first glance. Naturally, she recognized him instantly.
What she said was trueโit really was Cheng Lie.
Wen Lin almost got up to go say hello to him.
But something felt offโCheng Lie seemed to be waiting for someone. He was carrying bags filled with items; it looked like heโd just finished shopping.
His aura didnโt resemble someone who enjoyed shopping for himself. So clearly, these things must have been bought while accompanying someone.
Following Cheng Lieโs gaze, Wen Lin looked toward the bubble tea shop nearby.
In the line for bubble tea were several people, and among them, a girlโs back looked startlingly familiar.
It was her.
Wen Lin immediately recognized Yun Shifei.
A while later, Yun Shifei approached Cheng Lie with two cups of bubble tea in her hands, happily darting toward him. As she got closer, she even started to jog.
She was full of youthful energy, radiating vitality.
Wen Lin wasnโt much older than Yun Shifei, but her matured personality made such actions seem impossible for her.
When was the last time she had dressed so casually and looked so youthful?
When was the last time she had worn sneakers?
She couldnโt remember anymore.
Seeing Yun Shifei like this, Wen Lin suddenly understood why both Cheng Lie and Qin Yumo liked her.
When Qin Yumo liked someone, it usually didnโt last more than a month. But his feelings for Yun Shifei had persisted quite a while.
Aside from the fact that she was unattainable, the pure and playful charm she radiated, combined with her perfect featuresโwho could resist that?
