After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 313: Chapter 313: Warm Man

But she was just feeling envious, nothing more.

"I hope you guys get married soon! | want to drink at your wedding!" Sun Xiaoqi teased with a playful grin.

"That's still a long way off." Yun Shifei blushed slightly.

Still, she couldnt help but look forward to that potential day.

Soon it was New Year's. Before the holiday, Yun Tiancheng gave Yun Shifei several new outfits as gifts.

Looking at the beautiful clothes, Yun Shifei felt happy but also a bit troubled. "Dad, there are so many clothes—I

don’t even have enough space to put them all."

Her wardrobe was near capacity. There were so many clothes she hadn't even worn yet. Was this what it felt like

to be spoiled?

This feeling of being dressed up like a little princess was something Yun Shifei had never experienced before.

Yun Tiancheng responded, "Don’t worry. Dad will set up a walk-in closet for you. Then you can put all your

clothes there."

Yun Shifei realized that ever since Yun Tiancheng found out she was dating someone, he had been treating her

even better than before—a lot better.

He had always doted on her, but now it went to another level.

"Shifei, | used to think I'd be able to spend a long twith you," Yun Tiancheng said, his expression wistful. "But

now that I think about it, after this New Year, you'll be nineteen. You're going far away to Beijing for university,

and now you're even in a relationship. In the future, we'll hardly have tto be together."

He sighed in poignancy, unsure why he had been so sentimental in recent days.

Perhaps it was because he had always thought of Yun Shifei as a little girl, but now, without realizing it, she had

grown up.

She was going away to study, living a life he knew little about.

Her growing independence gave him both pride and heartache.

Yun Shifei understood how her father felt. She hugged him tightly. "Dad, don’t be sad. Even when | grow up, |

won't leave you."

"But your boyfriend is from Beijing. If you marry him in the future, won't it mean a distant marriage?" Yun

Tiancheng sighed again.

"That's okay... Travel is so convenient nowadays. If | take a plane, | can chquickly." She wanted to tell

Yun Tiancheng that her boyfriend wasn’t technically from Beijing. But then she thought, even if Cheng Lie wasn’t

from Beijing, he was developing his career there. Compared to South City, Beijing undoubtedly had more

opportunities.

She could feel it—Cheng Lie was working very hard these days, so much so that he'd stay in Beijing even during

the New Year for work.

Alone in Beijing, would he feel lonely?

At that moment, Yun Tiancheng said, "Oh, right, Shifei. For New Year's Eve, I've invited your mom to chome

and celebrate with us."

Hearing Yun Tiancheng’s words, Yun Shifei showed little reaction.

"Okay," she replied simply.

In truth, she thought Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya should have reconciled long ago.

Seeing her lack of objection, Yun Tiancheng also felt that having Xu Ya return was the right decision—it

comforted him.

He had been looking for the right opportunity to bring Xu Ya back into their lives.

After all, she was Yun Shifei’s biological mother. Despite the many mistakes Xu Ya had made in the past, Yun

Tiancheng thought that since she had realized her wrongdoing and changed, the past could be forgiven with

time.

Yun Shifei didn’t object—not because she had forgiven her mother, but because she firmly believed that Yun

Tiancheng deserved to restore his life with Xu Ya to how it had once been.

After all, they had truly loved each other. As for herself, that was part of the reason she chose to study far away

in Beijing.

She didn’t want to stay behind and beca third wheel in their reconciliation.

But the scars Xu Ya had left on her—that trauma would not be erased so easily.

That evening, Yun Shifei called Cheng Lie. On the phone, she asked about how he’d been lately—was he eating

well? Sleeping well?

Cheng Lie answered her questions in turn.

He asked her the squestions.

Yun Shifei answered him and then shared what Yun Tiancheng had said. "My dad's really worried that if | marry

far away, he won't get to see me. Lately, he’s been treatingeven better than before—so much better."

After hearing her remarks, Cheng Lie was silent for a moment. Then he said, "Actually, | could develop my career

in South City instead."

Although South City was more focused on foreign trade and lacked the technological support systems Beijing

had, it would just mean a little extra hardship.

She hadn’t expected that a casual remark from her would be taken so seriously by him, to the point that he even

considered moving his future back to South City.

Sometimes, it was the seemingly ordinary conversations that stayed with you the longest.

Yun Shifei’s heart surged with uncontainable emotions, as if they were ready to burst out of her chest.

After a while, she said softly, "Cheng Lie, you're so good to me."

Too good, really. Was it possible he had already factored their future together into his plans?

The young man pressed his lips together. Even through the phone line, he could sense the gratitude and emotion

in Yun Shifei’s voice.

She was always so easily moved, which was likely why she had fallen for him so quickly, why she had accepted

him so readily.

On the surface, it seemed like everyone adored her. But deep down, the feeling of being isolated in the past

must have etched itself into her very being.

It was why the smallest gestures of kindness deeply touched her.

Right now, he wished he could fly to her side and hold her in his arms.

It had been so long since he last hugged her—her soft, sweet, fragrant self.

The thought made Cheng Lie feel his body temperature rise. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

On the other end of the phone, Yun
