After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 467 Plan

Cheng Lie picked out a simple pair of rings and then took Yun Shifei to a bridal shop.

As soon as they entered the shop, someone came up to greet them, asking Yun Shifei what kind of wedding dress she wanted.

It felt as if they were truly about to get married.

Yun Shifei’s smile widened, and she shook Cheng Lie’s arm. "What kind of wedding dress do you want to see me in?"

She actually wanted to see for herself too—after all, every girl has a dream about wedding dresses.

Cheng Lie’s gaze fell on the rows of dresses in the shop. This was the most upscale bridal shop in Beijing, and all the dresses were designed by renowned designers.

With Yun Shifei’s striking features and grace, she would undoubtedly look stunning in any of them.

But Cheng Lie wanted Yun Shifei to try one on, just for him.

Eventually, he chose a simple, form-fitting mermaid-style gown and asked Yun Shifei to give it a try.

He waited outside.

Yun Shifei carried the dress into the fitting room.

Though she didn’t know when they would get married, the sudden, almost marriage-like atmosphere of this date brought a sense of joy to her heart.

In the past, she had feared marriage and distrusted relationships.

But Cheng Lie had made her believe again—that there really was someone in this world who could wholeheartedly treat her well.

Even though he knew about her past.

Yun Shifei changed into the mermaid gown and slowly emerged from the fitting room.

Cheng Lie was replying to work messages when he heard her movements. As he lifted his head, he saw her walking toward him, her white dress shimmering like an angel’s halo.

The dress accentuated her flawless figure, showcasing her delicate collarbones beneath her radiant features.

The fitted lace sleeves above the flowing train were embellished with crystal beading, which sparkled gently as she moved—like a mermaid princess stepping straight out of the sea.

Cheng Lie stared at Yun Shifei, momentarily dazed.

He had brought Yun Shifei here to try dresses on a whim. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

During dinner earlier, Yu Liantao’s words reminded him of his long-held plans, and he thought—since they rarely had time to date, why not make it special?

After all, once they got engaged, it wouldn’t be long before they were married.

He had always been waiting for that day.

So he decided to take this chance to let her try on dresses and pick out rings—perhaps even to buy them if they found the perfect ones.

But who would have thought she would look this breathtaking in the dress?

So perfect, in fact, that he didn’t want anyone else to see her like this.

Noticing Cheng Lie’s unmoving gaze full of complicated emotion, Yun Shifei couldn’t interpret what he was feeling.

Was she not pretty in the gown?

Although the store associate had praised her non-stop during the fitting, everyone knows that words from shop staff are only half trustworthy.

Judging by Cheng Lie’s expression, she felt even less confident.

Seeing her uneasy glance, Cheng Lie snapped back to reality.

He clasped Yun Shifei’s hand and pulled her alongside him, positioning them in front of a mirror.

"You look beautiful," Cheng Lie said, gazing at her reflection.

In the mirror, they looked as though they were truly getting married. Cheng Lie couldn’t help but wonder, when the day came, would it feel just like this?

The girl beside him would wear that shy but radiant smile, and he...

Thinking about their near future, Cheng Lie pursed his lips slightly, trying to suppress the surge of excitement in his heart.

But the joy was impossible to conceal.

If it weren’t for his concern that Yun Tiancheng might think him unreliable, he would have proposed to Yun Shifei and gotten their marriage certificate immediately.

After all, being legally bound felt more secure.

When they left the bridal shop, Yun Shifei could distinctly feel the change in Cheng Lie’s mood—he seemed particularly happy, as though they truly were about to get married.

Unable to resist dampening his enthusiasm a little, Yun Shifei teased him, "I haven’t even graduated university yet."

"Getting married has nothing to do with graduation."

His implications were clear: many college students get married while still in school; it wasn’t an issue.

Yun Shifei couldn’t help but say, "I don’t know if my dad would approve."

This was also a worry for Cheng Lie. He feared Yun Tiancheng wouldn’t agree—he knew how important Yun Shifei was to her father.

And as for himself, in Yun Tiancheng’s eyes, he was probably unremarkable.

No matter how successful he was in his career, it couldn’t erase the pain of his fractured upbringing.

Yun Tiancheng would always mind those things.

Yun Shifei had meant to joke, but when she saw Cheng Lie genuinely troubled by her comment, she said, "Don’t worry, it’s not an issue. My dad adores me—whatever I like, he’ll like too."

Anything I like, he’ll like.

Cheng Lie snapped out of his thoughts to see the girl beside him beaming with a dazzling smile. His gratitude for her had long overflowed.

Over the years, she had been so accepting, so forgiving.

If it weren’t for her, he was certain he wouldn’t have been able to pull himself out of the abyss.

"Feifei, thank you," Cheng Lie said.

"What are you thanking me for?" Yun Shifei asked.

"Thank you for being willing to spend your life healing me."

Yun Shifei froze for a moment, then hugged his waist tightly. "Don’t paint me as some saint, okay? You think I’m healing you, but I should be thanking you—for making me believe in love again."

After all, they were clearly healing each other.

"Oh, by the way, my grandmother really wants to meet you. Last time she missed out, and she’s mentioned several times during phone calls that I have to bring you to see her over the break."

Ever since her grandmother found out she had a boyfriend, she had been excited and concerned.

Yun Shifei thought that only by introducing Cheng Lie to her grandmother would Old Mrs. Xu feel reassured.

She believed that compared to Yun Tiancheng, her grandmother would be easier to win over.

So if Yun Tiancheng disapproved of her marriage to Cheng Lie, she could always enlist her grandmother’s support.

Her little plan was well thought out.

"When the break comes, I’ll go back with you," Cheng Lie answered.

Yun Shifei nodded.

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was exam season. Once the exams were over, the semester break began.

Yun Shifei was preparing to return to Beijing, but Xu Yuejiao announced that she wanted to stay at school for the New Year.

Yun Shifei gave her a puzzled look. "If you don’t go home for New Year, your parents will kill you."

"They won’t!" Xu Yuejiao immediately shook her head. "I told them I found a decent part-time job in Beijing, so I’m staying to earn some money and will go home closer to New Year."

Yun Shifei was shocked. "Really?"

Xu Yuejiao nodded firmly. "Yes! It’s factory work, and it took me a lot of effort to secure this job."

To Yun Shifei, Xu Yuejiao didn’t seem like the type to suddenly take on holiday work.

Which prompted a bold guess, "Is it because of Zhou Li?"

As soon as she said it, Xu Yuejiao quickly shushed her. "Don’t you dare tell my parents anything reckless!"
