After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King -
Chapter 135: Dragging Her to Hell
Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Dragging Her to Hell
This was something Yun Shifei hadn’t expected.
She had always carried herself with a mature mindset.
Because of all the turmoil and deep wounds she had endured in her past life, her rebirth had made her approach every situation with the perspective of an adult. She lived cautiously, carefully analyzing the positive and negative impacts of every decision she made.
She was far too careful.
Sun Xiaoqi reminded her—she was still just a child, and she shouldn’t be like this.
That’s right, she was only fifteen years old this year. Even if she offended the Cheng Family, so what? She could always brush it off with the excuse that children don’t know any better.
Yun Shifei thought she’d been so foolish. It was only now that her mindset began to shift.
"I’m heading back now—today was pretty fun," Sun Xiaoqi said cheerfully. Her home was closer than Yun Shifei’s, so she stood at the gate of her residential complex and waved goodbye to Yun Shifei.
She then looked at Yun Shifei and Mu Chengzhu with a face full of curiosity.
To be honest, she was really curious about what the relationship between Yun Shifei and Mu Chengzhu was.
Previously, everyone said Yun Sisi and Mu Chengzhu were a couple, but today, the way Mu Chengzhu looked at Yun Shifei was obviously different.
She didn’t know if she should trust her instincts.
Yun Shifei stood there for a moment, watching Sun Xiaoqi as she disappeared into her home.
Only Mu Chengzhu and her were left now.
They strolled toward the complex at an unhurried pace. Mu Chengzhu knew deep down that Yun Shifei didn’t like him. He had initially wanted to ask her why she seemed to reject him so strongly.
Unfortunately, he’d been interrupted and never got the courage to bring it up again.
Even if he did ask, she probably wouldn’t tell him—just like so many times before.
Since he knew he wouldn’t get an answer, Mu Chengzhu chose not to dwell on it anymore.
He said gently to Yun Shifei, "Your friend made a good point earlier: if you don’t like doing something, just say no. It’s okay."
Yun Shifei nodded, as if she agreed with Mu Chengzhu.
But she didn’t respond verbally.
So the two walked home in silence.
From a distance, a set of eyes quietly focused on them.
The watcher studied the boy and girl walking side by side. Even though they weren’t speaking, their youthful presence painted the perfect image of young love.
The pair looked exceptionally well-matched.
That young man’s expression darkened, so gloomy that it seemed ink could drip from his features.
Earlier today, he’d learned Yun Shifei planned to go sing karaoke with Cheng Huai, and he immediately had someone block the plans.
But what he hadn’t expected was Mu Chengzhu appearing alongside Yun Shifei instead.
At this moment, Mu Chengzhu would occasionally glance at Yun Shifei, and Cheng Lie could clearly discern the feelings stirring in his gaze.
A cold glint flickered deep within Cheng Lie’s eyes.
He hated others coveting what was his. No matter who it was—whether that person treated her well or not—he simply wouldn’t allow it.
It had happened the last time, too, when Mu Chengzhu gave something to Yun Shifei.
And now, he’d followed her to karaoke?
Initially, Cheng Lie had wanted to observe what Yun Shifei was like during these interactions—to see if she’d end up crying again.
But now, he didn’t even want to show himself to her.
His gaze shifted back to Yun Shifei. The girl was quietly walking, her hair swaying gently in the breeze, with loose strands playfully dancing on each side. It carried an effortless charm.
She had yet to grow up fully, but she was already so stunning. It was easy to understand why so many people were drawn to her—what would it be like later?
Dark, twisted thoughts began to grow in the corners of Cheng Lie’s mind.
He knew they were wrong, but he couldn’t care about that anymore.
If Yun Shifei truly hated him, then so be it—let her hate him.
After all, she was the one who initially broke into his world. She shouldn’t blame him for this. Even if it meant dying, he’d drag her down to hell with him.
Mu Chengzhu accompanied Yun Shifei to her doorstep.
Yun Shifei noticed a car parked in front of her home—it wasn’t their family’s car.
At that moment, someone stepped out of the vehicle.
It was Yun Sisi!
Yun Sisi gazed mournfully at Yun Shifei and Mu Chengzhu.
The pure, innocent face she wore was now tinged with sorrow, almost on the verge of tears.
She had suspected it. Lately, Mu Chengzhu had been ignoring her, and now she knew the reason—it was because of Yun Shifei!
Watching the two walk closer and closer earlier, even though they hadn’t spoken, they’d looked seamlessly perfect simply standing side by side.
Yun Sisi knew this type of compatibility—it was the same as the connection she once had with Mu Chengzhu.
Long ago, classmates would look at her and Mu Chengzhu and say how perfectly matched they seemed.
Xu Ya also exited the car and froze for a moment when she saw Yun Shifei and Mu Chengzhu.
Mu Chengzhu was the first to greet her, "Auntie, Sisi."
He’d heard that Xu Ya and Yun Sisi had moved to another complex, but he hadn’t expected to bump into them today. f r\eew,eb novel.c(o)(m)
Seeing Mu Chengzhu’s composure, Yun Sisi felt even angrier.
Why?
Had it all been one-sided on her part? Had Mu Chengzhu never cared for her at all?
Why could he meet her gaze with such indifference, acting like nothing had happened?
Xu Ya was surprised, too.
She remembered Mu Chengzhu hadn’t liked Yun Shifei—he wouldn’t even look at her.
But now, they were walking together?
"Were you outside playing?" Xu Ya asked.
Mu Chengzhu nodded.
"We were just out singing karaoke. Auntie, Sisi, I’ll head off now." Mu Chengzhu smiled politely.
"Alright," Xu Ya replied.
After Mu Chengzhu left, Xu Ya turned to Yun Shifei and said, "Shifei, what’s going on here? I’ve told you before—not to fall into early romance."
Her opening comment chilled Yun Shifei’s heart.
"When Sisi and Mu Chengzhu were together, you didn’t feel they were dating too early. But once I walk beside Mu Chengzhu, you suspect me of falling in love?" Yun Shifei retorted sharply, catching Xu Ya off guard.
Stammering, Xu Ya explained, "Sisi grew up alongside Chengzhu. Their bond is that of siblings. Sisi is such a well-behaved girl; she wouldn’t get into an early romance."
Sibling relationship? Thinking back to her past life, remembering what Mu Chengzhu and Yun Sisi eventually did together, Yun Shifei felt a wave of disgust.
Her heart felt like it was being strangled by thorny vines, squeezing painfully tight until she could barely breathe.
Yun Shifei’s disappointment in Xu Ya deepened.
She could accept Xu Ya’s lack of affection for her—she understood it wasn’t easy to bond after being abducted for so many years.
But why couldn’t Xu Ya at least stop with the double standards?
It was the same situation, yet the consequences were always worlds apart depending on whether it was Yun Sisi or her.
Yun Shifei now understood: for someone who doesn’t like you, no matter how tirelessly you try, it wouldn’t win their favor.
No matter what you do, you’ll never be enough.
Because even the way you breathe is wrong!
"Are you regretting it now? That if I had never been reunited with this family, everything would’ve been perfect for the three of you—you would’ve been so happy and complete. It’s all my fault, isn’t it, for ruining everything?" Yun Shifei stared quietly at Xu Ya as she spoke.
All this time, she had treated Xu Ya as her mother. She had held back on so many things.
But she was Xu Ya’s biological daughter, too. Yet Xu Ya didn’t spare a thought for her feelings when she was treated this way. So why should she tread softly and constantly cater to Xu Ya’s emotions?
"That’s not what I meant..." Xu Ya said hastily.
