After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 342: The Suitor

That day, Yun Shifei received a call from Mu Chengzhu.

He asked how she had been recently.

Yun Shifei didn’t want to engage with him, so she brushed him off casually and was about to hang up.

Who would have guessed that Mu Chengzhu would say, "The floral dress you’re wearing today looks quite nice."

At that moment, Yun Shifei looked down at the black floral dress she was wearing and felt as if she were watching a horror movie—it sent chills down her spine.

"Shi Fei, even if I’m in South City, I’ll still keep an eye on your every move. Be good, and I’ll come to Beijing to accompany you in a little while." After a pause, he added, "You did promise me not to have any contact with Cheng Lie."

"Who asked for your company? Mu Chengzhu, stop disgustingly hovering around me." Yun Shifei fiercely cursed him before hanging up the phone.

However, there was still some insecurity lingering in her heart.

She knew that, since Mu Chengzhu remembered everything from their past life, his path in this life would undoubtedly be smoother than before.

She had died so young, and as for him, he probably went on to live a happy life with Yun Sisi, didn’t he? He had the ability to foresee the future, and considering his already outstanding talents in their previous life, he could only have become more formidable in this one.

In all likelihood, during his trips to Beijing he had already quietly established his own network, monitoring everything unnoticed.

If he wanted to manipulate someone, wouldn’t it be effortless?

Yun Shifei suddenly felt that, whether it was herself or someone like Cheng Lie, in Mu Chengzhu’s eyes, they were likely nothing more than ants.

Squashing them? It would take no effort at all.

Yun Shifei was furious. In this lifetime, she hadn’t planned to seek revenge against Mu Chengzhu; she just wanted to live her life well. Yet Mu Chengzhu repeatedly crossed her boundaries.

If she didn’t fight back, it would make her rebirth meaningless.

Since Mu Chengzhu came to disgust her, then she might as well disgust him in return.

Yun Shifei thought about it. In this lifetime, Mu Chengzhu disliked Yun Sisi because she was deceitful.

So, if that’s the case, she might as well be like that herself.

After a while, Yun Shifei called Mu Chengzhu.

The call was quickly answered, and Mu Chengzhu’s voice, tinged with laughter, came through: "What made you call me back?"

He was actually delighted!

Yun Shifei couldn’t help but feel that karma was a joke. In her last life, she had liked Mu Chengzhu, sticking to him like glue.

In this life, the roles were unexpectedly reversed. Mu Chengzhu didn’t find it nauseating anymore?

"Mu Chengzhu, I feel like eating green bean cakes, almond crisps, and Rongji’s layered twists. Could you send them over for me to eat?"

On the other end, Mu Chengzhu froze.

He hadn’t expected Yun Shifei to call him just to ask for food.

A playful smile spread even further across his lips. "Is that all?"

"Of course not. There’s also various milk teas and desserts, but let’s forget it—they’re too hard to bring here. The ones in Beijing are pretty good too."

Especially the dessert shop where she’d first met Cheng Lie in Beijing—it wasn’t bad. The taste was quite similar to the place she used to frequent in South City.

Mu Chengzhu kept smiling, his gaze lowering. "If you want to eat them, I’ll go buy some shortly and send them over to you. Too bad express delivery isn’t efficient yet; otherwise, it would get to you by tomorrow."

He spoke about their shared secret, deliberately trying to bridge the gap between them.

Listening to his vaguely pampering tone, Yun Shifei felt goosebumps all over.

"That’s it. I’m hanging up now." Her tone was still as impatient as before.

Mu Chengzhu acknowledged it with a hum, utterly patient.

After hanging up the phone, Yun Shifei thought to herself: This was just the beginning.

Mu Chengzhu wanted her to date him, didn’t he? Then let him try his best first.

When he eventually realized that she, like Yun Sisi, was two-faced and had only taken his offerings because of vanity, he likely wouldn’t like her anymore.

Yun Shifei knew that Mu Chengzhu’s feelings for her were probably just like his feelings for Yun Sisi in their past life—a desire born simply from something not easily obtained.

If she still loved him like she did in their past life, he probably wouldn’t even glance at her.

A few days later, Mu Chengzhu’s package arrived, and Yun Shifei distributed the snacks among her roommates.

"Who sent these? Could it be Cheng Lie?" Yu Liantao asked.

"Well, I guess you don’t want to eat anymore." Yun Shifei withdrew the snacks she was handing her.

"No, no, I was just joking. So, who’s the sender?"

"It’s someone you don’t know." Yun Shifei responded coldly.

Yu Liantao kept teasing: "These snacks wouldn’t have been sent by your dad, right? Is it someone who likes you?"

Yun Shifei shot her a glance.

Yu Liantao immediately sensed danger.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding, Shi Fei. Don’t get mad."

Yun Shifei looked at the snacks in her hand and shoved them all to Yu Liantao: "Go ahead and eat until you’re full!"

Mu Chengzhu had sent gifts—an absurdly large amount.

He had even included a small rabbit desktop decoration—something to place on her desk.

On Yun Shifei’s desk, there was still a glass box sitting emptily—the snowman it once held had long since melted away.

That box didn’t look good there, and it took up space, but Yun Shifei hadn’t been able to throw it away.

She handed the little rabbit to Yu Liantao as well. "Take this too. Next time you speak nonsense, I’ll really stop being friends with you!"

Yu Liantao hugged the bunny and laughed. After all, if someone gives you food and toys, you’d better show them some respect.

Still, when they went to class and ran into Cheng Lie, Yu Liantao cautiously approached him: "Shi Fei seems like she has a suitor. Yesterday, someone sent her lots of snacks and even a rabbit decoration."

When Cheng Lie heard this, he looked at her, seemingly not expecting Yu Liantao to say such things to him.

Yu Liantao felt a bit awkward under his stare. Though she was spirited by nature, she was also quite perceptive. She had long known the two weren’t entirely indifferent to each other but had inexplicably broken up, so if Yun Shifei had a suitor, she might as well let Cheng Lie know.

Well, if they reconciled in the future, it might benefit her too.

But now, subjected to Cheng Lie’s icy gaze, Yu Liantao started to doubt her judgment.

"Got it." Cheng Lie said. "Thanks for letting me know. If there’s anything like this in the future, please keep telling me."

Yu Liantao nodded. "I hope you two patch things up successfully!"

She made a cheering gesture in his direction.

Cheng Lie’s lips curled slightly. Her classmate wasn’t half bad.

It meant she seemed to be doing quite well in school.

It made sense—after all, she had a suitor now.

Cheng Lie instructed Zhao Pan to investigate who was pursuing Yun Shifei. The results revealed the package had been sent from South City, and the sender was Mu Chengzhu.
