After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 360 More Companionship

Five years later, he started working. With his current level of effort, he might not achieve fame and success, but he should be living better than he is now.

As for Ming Jingru, as long as Xu Yuejiao and Zhou Li like each other, she wouldn’t matter.

Yun Shifei couldn’t help congratulating Xu Yuejiao, "Congratulations, Sister Jiaojiao, for getting what you wished for!"

Xu Yuejiao smiled bashfully, "Stop teasing me."

Five years is a long time. Even though she had agreed, so much could happen over such a long period.

Thinking about this, Xu Yuejiao became a little worried. She wondered, what if she didn’t like Zhou Li as much in the future?

"By the way, with summer break coming up, are you planning to introduce Cheng Lie to your dad?"

She already knew Yun Shifei and Cheng Lie were back together.

Speaking of this, Yun Shifei felt stressed, "I haven’t figured out how to explain it to my dad yet."

She knew Yun Tiancheng would definitely oppose it.

Convincing him—it was truly a tough dilemma.

While she mulled over it, summer break arrived quickly. During the two-month vacation, Yun Shifei wasn’t in a hurry to return home. She had told Yun Tiancheng she’d stay in Beijing for a few extra days, intending to take a short trip with Cheng Lie nearby; otherwise, the two of them would be separated again for so long.

During the honeymoon phase of the relationship, even one day apart felt like three years, let alone being apart for so many days.

However, she soon received a call from Xu Yuejiao, telling her that Old Mrs. Xu was hospitalized. Yun Shifei gave up her travel plans and went home.

Cheng Lie took her to the airport. Before parting, he gently ruffled her hair, "Take care of yourself."

Yun Shifei nodded, though she felt reluctant.

After some thought, she took a small rabbit plushie out of her backpack and handed it to Cheng Lie, "Take a look at it whenever you miss me."

Cheng Lie couldn’t help but laugh, "You bought one too?"

"Well, isn’t it because you always say I look like a little bunny?"

How could she not buy one, so he could look at it whenever he missed her?

Cheng Lie held the rabbit in his hand, "Go on now. If I have the time, I’ll come visit you in South City."

Even though he didn’t want to step foot in that place at all, for her, he was willing.

Yun Shifei nodded and, after pondering for a moment, added, "When that happens, should you meet my dad?"

She was inwardly excited. Although she knew Yun Tiancheng wouldn’t agree, seeing how great Cheng Lie was, Yun Tiancheng might just approve.

Cheng Lie smiled faintly, "We’ll see when the time comes."

He felt now wasn’t the right time.

He knew Yun Tiancheng would oppose their relationship, so he had to become even better—good enough to be worthy of her.

After leaving the airport, Cheng Lie received a call from Wen Lin, "Grandpa wants to know if you’re free tonight. Come to our house for dinner; he’s been thinking about you."

"Alright."

After hanging up, he noticed Zhao Pan with a gossipy look in his eyes.

Cheng Lie’s expression turned cold, "What are you staring at?"

"I was just wondering if Miss Wen would be heartbroken."

Hearing this, Cheng Lie paused for a moment and said, "Who knows?"

Who knows!

Zhao Pan was so shocked by Cheng Lie’s words that his eyes nearly popped out.

Mr. Cheng pretending not to know? He wouldn’t believe it no matter what!

Saying it like that—and sounding so innocent—Zhao Pan felt Cheng Lie wasn’t innocent at all.

This is the danger of falling for a pretty face! Miss Wen was completely charmed by Mr. Cheng’s looks.

But Cheng Lie knew that he truly couldn’t control who liked him. Even though Wen Lin had feelings for him, she was aware he already had someone in his heart. If she continued to like him, that was her choice.

All he could do was act like he didn’t know.

Right now, he still needed to collaborate with the Wen Family.

Depth in love often led to cruelty. His deepest emotions were reserved for one person alone.

Upon returning to South City, Yun Shifei didn’t even have time to rest before heading to Nantian Town to see Old Mrs. Xu.

Xu Yuejiao had arrived earlier and was already at the hospital keeping watch.

Yun Shifei didn’t even stop to drop off her luggage, pushing her suitcase straight into the hospital.

The ward was filled with several people who, upon seeing Yun Shifei, stepped aside to give her space.

Yun Shifei greeted each of them one by one.

"Grandma." Seeing the elderly woman lying on the hospital bed, Yun Shifei called her softly, eyes reddening instantly. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

It had been half a year since she last saw Old Mrs. Xu, who now seemed thinner. Thinking about how the old woman had accidentally fallen, Yun Shifei felt even worse.

"Shifei, you’re back. Come here, let grandma take a look at you—my girl has grown even more beautiful." Old Mrs. Xu managed to muster a weak smile.

"Don’t cry, okay? Grandma’s fine; it was just a minor surgery. A few days of rest, and I’ll be better."

Yun Shifei stepped forward to hold Old Mrs. Xu’s hand, "Please get well soon, Grandma. I haven’t taken you to Beijing yet. It’s so much fun there, with many charming, ancient buildings—totally different from what we have here in South City."

Old Mrs. Xu had a fondness for traditional things, so Yun Shifei tried to entice her with this.

Old Mrs. Xu couldn’t help but nod, "Alright, once my leg heals, I’ll go to Beijing with you."

"Then Grandma, you’ve got to recover quickly."

Old Mrs. Xu nodded.

Yun Shifei knew the old woman would recover, but even for young people, recovering from a fall took a long time—let alone for the elderly, whose bones were fragile and slower to heal.

Would her grandma end up needing a cane to walk?

Yun Shifei now felt a bit resentful of herself for not being close to Old Mrs. Xu in her previous life, completely unaware of her injury.

But one fortunate thing was that, even by the time she had passed away, Old Mrs. Xu was still alive.

However, her own passing had only been a few years later. She couldn’t predict what the future held.

Thinking of this, Yun Shifei felt a pang of sorrow.

Even though she knew mortality was inevitable, she still found it hard to accept.

After chatting with Old Mrs. Xu for a while, Yun Shifei saw her yawning and said, "Grandma, get some rest. I’ll go put my luggage away at home and come back to check on you later."

Old Mrs. Xu nodded, "Alright, your mom’s at home too."

Xu Ya, of course.

It made sense—Old Mrs. Xu was injured, so Xu Ya would definitely come back.

Yun Shifei nodded, then pulled her suitcase and headed out.

Xu Yuejiao walked alongside her, helping her carry her luggage.

The two sisters both wore solemn expressions.

"Feifei, I haven’t been back for half a year, and suddenly I realized our parents have aged quite a bit. Grandpa and Grandma have too. This time Grandma even got injured. It’s really terrifying."

Yun Shifei sighed, "Growing up truly is a cruel process. As we age, they grow old even faster."

"Feifei, I’m scared." Xu Yuejiao looked at Yun Shifei, her face showing sadness, "I’m afraid they’ll leave us forever one day."

Though Xu Yuejiao usually had a lively personality, her heart was occasionally sensitive.

Yun Shifei, by contrast, was able to comfort her, "That’s why we can’t let them worry. We need to spend more time with them."

Now, she regretted choosing a university so far away. If she had studied closer to South City, would she have been able to spend more time with Old Mrs. Xu?
