Reborn: Married to the Demon King

Chapter 273: Chapter 273 Their Secret

But if he were to obey his heart, it would be impossible, because he simply likes her.

Thus, he unconsciously held Yun Shifei’s hand.

He also stood up: "Shi Fei, if you treatlike this, it’s as if you're sentencingto death."

Just as the her in this life is completely different from her in the past life, the him in this life is also completely

different from the him before.

The clearest point is that he doesn’t like Yun Sisi anymore—not even a little.

Now, when he thinks back on the events of his past life, it all feels like a dream; all those actions don’t feel like

things he would do.

Yun Sisi was so delicate, always doing things to move herself, but leaving plenty of messes for him to clean up.

The thought of it makes him feel he must've been out of his mind to help her.

But the him in this life is no longer like that.

Could Yun Shifei not give him another chance?

When Yun Shifei saw him holding her hand, she instinctively wanted to break free, but he held it so tightly.

She turned her head to look at Mu Chengzhu.

She thought, actually Mu Chengzhu wasn’t wrong; this life and the past life are two separate matters.

But since she remembers the pain from her past life, she can never face Mu Chengzhu with a calm heart.

Besides, in this life, she truly doesn’t like him anymore.

She vaguely understood that in this life she wasn’t planning to get revenge on Mu Chengzhu, who hadn't done

much harm to her, but just wanted to keep away from him.

However, not liking him is already a harsh revenge.

Let alone the fact that he remembers everything from the past life.

She had never seen such a wounded expression on Mu Chengzhu’s face before. That fragmented, broken look—

it’s truly hard to imagine that a celestial being like him could also be this heartbroken.

She lowered her gaze: "No matter what, | can’t get along well with you."

Her heart is indeed so cold! Mu Chengzhu couldn’t help but laugh, but at this moment, his heart felt even colder.

He had mustered all his courage to show her his wounds, only to be met with her utter disdain.

Not far away, someone stood silently, like a tall pine tree—rigid and motionless.

It was unclear how long he had been standing there.

His expression was icy cold, and there was a bloodthirsty chill in his eyes, surrounded by an aura of darkness.

Anyone passing by couldn't help but glance twice at him—he was a ridiculously handsyoung man. Normally,

encountering someone like him, sbold girls might approach him and strike up a conversation.

But the cold, dark aura shrouding this person made even the boldest girls retreat in fear.

Cheng Lie thought about Yun Shifei’s weary tone when he called her last night. At the time, he didn’t think much

of it. But today, when work got slower, he suddenly felt something was amiss. Unsure if she was sick, he decided

to cto her school to check on her.

After all, in the past, when Qin Yumo bullied her so terribly, she never told him. This time, he worried she might

be unwell and not tell him again.

He hadn't expected that coming to see Yun Shifei would lead to such a coincidence—catching sight of this scene.

She was actually drinking coffee with Mu Chengzhu, and Mu Chengzhu was even holding her hand now?

He didn’t understand why Mu Chengzhu would be here, but Cheng Lie knew that while he wasn’t looking,

someone had touched what belonged to him.

He silently stood not far away, watching them. They seemed to be saying something, and Yun Shifei wasn’t as

resistant toward Mu Chengzhu as she had been before.

He couldn't help walking closer. As he approached, he faintly overheard their conversation.

"Don’t worry, this secret is only between us. | won't tell anyone," Mu Chengzhu said.

"Thank you for that," Yun Shifei’s voice came.

Secret?

What kind of secret do the two of them share?

Cheng Lie’s brow furrowed tightly. Racking his brain, he still couldn't figure it out.

In his impression, she had always disliked Mu Chengzhu. But now, they seemed to have a secret between just

the two of them that he hadn't known about.

At this moment, Mu Chengzhu noticed Cheng Lie’s presence and, somewhat startled, stopped talking.

Yun Shifei noticed Mu Chengzhu’s gaze shift behind her and turned to look.

She saw Cheng Lie standing not far away.

The boy was wearing a black wool coat, black pants, and boots.

From head to toe, the only bright color on him was the striking red scarf around his neck. That scarf... Yun Shifei

instantly recognized it—it was a gift she had given him before. He still kept it!

But at this moment, his expression seemed somewhat off.

When he looked at her, his gaze was icy cold. His face was grim, and his pitch-black eyes harbored endless

darkness, like an impending snowstorm that drew a sharp chill into each breath.

Yun Shifei knew that Cheng Lie was angry now. This was the expression he always wore when he was upset.

But, what was he angry about?

Because of Mu Chengzhu? He certainly didn’t like Mu Chengzhu.

However, Cheng Lie had deceived her, and she didn’t want to talk to him either.

Faced with two men who both troubled her, Yun Shifei chose to ignore them.

She quickly walked ahead, pretending not to see Cheng Lie.

Unexpectedly, as she passed by Cheng Lie, her hand was grabbed by him.

"Why are you here with him?" The boy's low voice came, tinged with hoarseness. Clearly, he was suppressing

something.

"Nothing, he cto find me, and we just chatted for a while." Yun Shifei answered coldly.

She was actually speaking to him like this, with such impatience in her tone.

Cheng Lie’s thin lips almost pressed into a line as he tried his best not to let her see his anger.

He was afraid of frightening her.

"Is that it?" She was so smart, she knew he couldn't possibly be satisfied with that explanation.

Previously, Yun Shifei would've explained everything to him in detail.

But now, Yun Shifei didn’t say anything.

"That's it. What else do you want to know?" Yun Shifei replied coldly.

As she spoke, she didn't dare to meet

Cheng Lie’s gaze. (Reoked at his

Not long ago, he had even helped her escape Qin Yumo’s entanglement.

Thinking of this, Yun Shifei’s tears almost fell.

She took a deep breath, forcing her tears back.

She couldn't let Cheng Lie see. She absolutely couldn't show any weakness in front of him.

She suddenly remembered the past—a twhen, whenever she felt upset, she would confide in Cheng Lie.

Back then, he was her most loyal listener.

Now she realized it was all a lie, all a facade he had built.

Thinking about it made her chest ache with discomfort.

"Looks like Shi Fei doesn’t want to talk to you," Mu Chengzhu remarked, somewhat surprised to see Cheng Lie
