After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 344: Chapter 344: You Weren't Like This Before

Yun Shifei thought, this feeling of adding insult to injury must surely make Mu Chengzhu see her true face and

then stay far away from her, right?

Sure enough, Mu Chengzhu'’s tone becsomewhat unpleasant: "Shi Fei, I'll give you the phone sometime

later. | need stto recover first."

"Ha! | knew you didn’t love me. You said you likedso much, but just look at how little you've given me. Is this

what you call love? Think back to last lifetime—how much did | give you when | was chasing after you? Whatever

you wanted, | gave! But you? Now, even when | ask for just a few things from you, you're unwilling." Yun Shifei

deliberately made her tone sharp and sarcastic.

A man’s pride would never allow him to be looked down upon by the woman he liked.

She wanted to provoke him. If she didn’t push him now, when else would she do it? It was a classic case of

kicking someone when they're down!

Mu Chengzhu was already in a bad mood due to problems in the family company, and with Yun Shifei pushing

like this, saying such unpleasant things, it was only natural for him to beca little angry.

But he held his temper: "Shi Fei, you weren't like this before."

"But it's you who said it—you said that if | was with you, you'd giveeverything | wanted. Look at you now;

I'm merely testing you, and you can’t deliver anything. Mu Chengzhu, have you perhaps overestimated yourself?

You're far from being as impressive as you think you are."

Hearing Yun Shifei’s sarcasm, Mu Chengzhu felt his anger boil over: "Givestime."

"Time? You were reborn too, yet you can’t even handle such a minor issue. Do you truly think you'll be able to

handle anything if | give you more time?"

After Yun Shifei finished, she hung up the phone, as if she didn’t want to continue talking to him.

Once the call ended, she let out a long sigh and couldn't help but pat her chest lightly.

My goodness, ever since being reborn, she had always treated people kindly while remaining somewhat timid. It

was the first tshe had been so brash, especially to someone as formidable as Mu Chengzhu.

Heaven knows how nervous she was while saying those words earlier. She tugged at her vocal cords with all her

might to make sure there wasn’t even a hint of her acting visible.

Now her throat even hurt a little. She couldn’t help but gulp down two bottles of water before finally calming

down completely.

After this phone call, Mu Chengzhu never called her again, and Yun Shifei felt thoroughly relieved.

Surely, the way she had kicked him while he was down this thad made him taste the world’s cruelty, making

him think she was a vain and shallow woman, even crushing his pride to the ground. A blow like that surely

made him give up completely, right?

However, knowing that there were still people at the school secretly keeping an eye on her for him, Yun Shifei

didn’t dare relax.

She continued attending classes as usual, eating and drinking as she pleased, buying lots of pretty clothes to

dress herself up as a show.

Wasn't he fond of planting people to monitor her? Fine, she'd act for him to watch.

In performing for Mu Chengzhu, Yun Shifei grew increasingly adept. However, she felt that she still couldn't face

Cheng Lie properly; in front of him, she couldn't put on an act.

Cheng Lie remained the sas he had always been, attending classes in the mornings or afternoons.

Yun Shifei occasionally sat next to him, but when she didn’t, and another girl sat beside him instead, she noticed

that he no longer interacted with them like he had that one tbefore.

He was always focused on listening to class and taking notes.

One time, Yun Shifei was sitting two rows behind Cheng Lie, and Yu Liantao squeezed her way to the seat behind

him. By now, Liantao had taken on the responsibility of reconciling Yun Shifei and Cheng Lie.

If it weren't for Yun Shifei being slightly unwilling to sit with Cheng Lie, Liantao would certainly drag Yun Shifei

over early every day to fight for a seat.

Because every tCheng Lie came, he always preferred to sit by the window.

Unfortunately, she couldn't act so boldly; Yun Shifei had gotten angry the last time.

Sigh, such things shouldn't be rushed. She couldn't afford to lose such a good roommate over it.

After all, she owed Yun Shifei now for food and handouts!

Still, though Yun Shifei didn’t want to sit near him, she also couldn't tolerate other girls being too close to Cheng

Lie.

So she took the seat behind Cheng Lie, keeping an eye on the pair.

That's when she overheard the girl sitting next to Cheng Lie say to him, "Cheng Lie, your notes are really good.

Could you letcopy them?"

Yu Liantao immediately went on high alert, giving the girl a sharp glance.

Unfortunately, the girl had her back to her and didn’t feel the impact of Liantao’s stare.

So now, it all cdown to Cheng Lie’s response.

"Everything the teacher said is in there. If you pay attention in class, you wouldn't need to ask to borrow my

notes."

Just one sentence left the girl trying to strike up a conversation completely red-faced.

Not only did he reject her, but he also pointed out her lack of focus during class, which made Yu Liantao laugh

until her stomach hurt.

After class, she eagerly shared it with Yun Shifei: "You wouldn't believe it—when Cheng Lie said that so seriously,

the girl next to him turned so red. | thought she might burst into tears at any moment!"

Yun Shifei knew Cheng Lie could be harsh at times, but truthfully, she had rarely seen him say anything that hurt

people like this.
