Reborn: Married to the Demon King

Chapter 264: Chapter 264 Cooking

Yun Shifei froze for a moment. Cheng Lie actually invited her to his house to cook?

"You're saying you wantto go to your house and cook?" She seemed a bit caught off guard.

Cheng Lie responded with a quiet "Mm."

Alright then...

She hadn’t even thought about visiting Cheng Lie’s home, especially not at this time.

But since he had actively invited her, Yun Shifei wasn’t going to decline.

On Saturday morning, as soon as she stepped out of the school gate, Cheng Lie’s car was already waiting at the

entrance.

Yun Shifei opened the car door and got in.

"Cheng Lie, good morning." She greeted him with a smile.

She seemed to be in a good mood today, wearing a pink sweatshirt with a big cartoon bear on it, paired with her

usual black trousers.

She looked youthful and irresistibly cute.

Cheng Lie returned the greeting, "Good morning."

Yun Shifei then turned to Zhao Pan, "Good morning, Uncle Zhao."

Zhao Pan gripped the steering wheel tightly. After a while, he finally couldn't hold back and turned around to look

at Yun Shifei: "Miss Yun, do | really look that old?"

He was only in his twenties, how did he suddenly bec"Uncle"? Zhao Pan was thoroughly distressed by the

way Yun Shifei addressed him.

Yun Shifei looked momentarily confused, then hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I... You look older than your actual

age, and | assumed—my apologies, Brother Zhao."

That's more like it! Zhao Pan sighed. Did he really look this old?

For sreason, this realization was even more disheartening than the possibility of Yun Shifei purposely calling

him that.

It turned out she had called him "Uncle" because she genuinely thought he looked mature—it was truly

depressing!

As he was lost in thought, he noticed Cheng Lie’s cold glare directed at him, as if warning him that he was

talking too much.

Zhao Pan quickly straightened his posture and focused on driving attentively.

Cheng Lie didn’t like Yun Shifei calling Zhao Pan "Brother" at all; it felt like Zhao Pan was taking advantage of the

situation.

His possessiveness was sometimes so intense it bordered on being abnormal.

Since they were going to Cheng Lie’s house to cook, Yun Shifei thought they should go to the market first to buy

groceries.

Going early in the morning meant the freshest ingredients could be bought, which was why Yun Shifei had

chosen to leave so early.

The bustling market was full of elderly men and women, and Yun Shifei worried that Cheng Lie might not adapt

to such a crowded place, especially since he usually avoided crowded areas—let alone a busy market.

The meat vendors, vegetable sellers, and fruit stands were all crammed together, with crowds of shoppers filling

the narrow aisles shoulder to shoulder.

So, just before getting out of the car, she asked him, "How about you wait in the car? | can go buy everything

myself."

Cheng Lie shook his head, "Let's go together."

Seeing his insistence, Yun Shifei had no choice but to let Cheng Lie follow her.

She picked up ingredients like fresh vegetables and fruits, sbeef, and spare ribs for the dishes she planned

to make.

She felt that visiting the market was quite enjoyable.

Holding a bell pepper in her hand, she thought for a moment. Cheng Lie didn’t seem to eat bell peppers, but she

believed they were rich in nutrients.

Turning to Cheng Lie, she asked, "How about we make stir-fried beef with bell peppers today?"

She was deliberately teasing Cheng Lie, but to her surprise, he calmly replied, "Sure."

Looking at the young man in front of her, calmly accepting her choice, his clear eyes quietly watching her—it

seemed whatever she wanted him to eat, he would accept it.

Yun Shifei suddenly didn’t know what to say.

She felt a little bad about teasing Cheng Lie, so she put the bell pepper down, "Just kidding, let's keep looking for

other tasty ingredients."

So she’s giving up that easily? Cheng Lie watched the girl, who seemed completely unwilling to make him

uncomfortable. For sreason, a warm feeling surged in his heart like waves—was it because she liked him

that she was so cautious?

This feeling of being cherished—it was so strange.

She bought more groceries one after another, and Cheng Lie trailed behind her carrying them.

The market was crowded, yet amidst the sea of people, he had eyes only for her.

He suddenly felt that right now, they resembled a married couple shopping for groceries—she chose the

ingredients in front while he carried everything behind her.

However, in sareas the crowds were truly overwhelming, and Yun Shifei’s petite figure seemed to be

swallowed up by the throng. This made Cheng Lie reach out to grab her arm.

Effortlessly, he grasped Yun Shifei’s arm.

Yun Shifei turned to him in surprise, and Cheng Lie explained, "I'm afraid I'll get lost."

"Don’t worry, just hold onto me," Yun Shifei reassured, as she gripped Cheng Lie’s hand in return. At that

moment, Cheng Lie reminded her of his South City days.

He seemed completely reliant on her.

But she knew that the Cheng Lie of today was much stronger—capable of helping and protecting her. In the

future, he would surely grow even more remarkable.

Yun Shifei continued to buy various items, including frozen dumplings. This puzzled Cheng Lie: "I think we won't

be able to eat all this food."

"I know. But you probably don’t have much to eat at home, right? If there's no tto cook, you can just prepare

a few dumplings—it’s quick and nutritious."

The night before, she had asked him what food he had at home, and he told her he hadn't been cooking.

Unexpectedly, she had already taken all that into consideration while shopping.
