After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 464: A Surprise

Yun Tiancheng’s love and indulgence for Yun Shifei seemed to directly correlate with his high standards for his daughter’s other half.

Back then, he had to lay all his cards on the table before Yun Tiancheng finally acknowledged his sincerity toward Yun Shifei and agreed to let her be with him.

So now, he needed to prove himself even more.

Their lives were steadily moving in a positive direction.

As Yun Shifei’s startup website continued to grow, more and more major brands were joining. Initially, many found the idea of an online mall novel but didn’t understand its true potential and were cautious, waiting to see if it would be profitable. Once they realized the opportunity, they decided to join.

In Beijing, renowned families like the Qin Family and Meng Family even added some of their own brands to the platform.

Wen Lin also heard about this development. Her uncle had asked her whether she had any thoughts in this area.

Previously, Wen Lin hadn’t paid much attention to who was behind the site. How could it suddenly grow so famous?

After her assistant presented all the collected information to her, Wen Lin was utterly shocked.

"Are you saying it’s Yun Shifei?" That seemed impossible. Where did Yun Shifei get the capability to pull off something like this?

"Miss Wen, I made sure to verify it—it really is her," the assistant confirmed.

Initially, he hesitated to believe it too and repeatedly checked until finally confirming that Yun Shifei was indeed behind it.

Should they collaborate with Yun Shifei? She had a substantial portfolio of brands under her name, such as clothing and handbags.

But the fact remained—it was Yun Shifei. Wen Lin had always looked down on her and couldn’t lower herself to cooperate with her.

Besides, they were rivals in more ways than one.

So Wen Lin dismissed the idea, saying, "Forget it. I don’t think something like this will be successful anyway."

She couldn’t believe Yun Shifei had the ability to accomplish anything significant; those who cooperated with her were probably doing so out of consideration for Cheng Lie.

After a brief pause, Wen Lin told her assistant, "Perhaps we should develop our own online platform like this."

If Yun Shifei could do it, surely she could too.

Upon hearing this, the assistant felt a bit overwhelmed and couldn’t help but remind Wen Lin, "Your second and third uncles seem to be working together on a new tourist site project lately."

The implication was clear—they should focus on contending with their relatives instead of investing in a high-risk, uncertain-cost internet platform.

The Wen Family had made their fortune in traditional industries.

Although the internet sector seemed to be booming now, they had never ventured into it, always proceeding with caution, much like their past investment in Cheng Lie’s company.

Unfortunately, Cheng Lie no longer collaborated with them, and moving forward, they couldn’t predict what actions he might take.

Given this, the assistant believed it was unwise for Wen Lin to act impulsively at this point.

Wen Lin reflected on his words—it seemed he was right. Reluctantly, she said, "Let’s put this plan on hold for now. Keep an eye on Yun Shifei and see what her next moves are."

"Understood."

At that moment, Wen Lin rubbed her forehead, feeling as though her recent days had been particularly unlucky. She’d been kidnapped, her cooperation with Cheng Lie had fallen through,

and now even Yun Shifei, whom she’d always dismissed, seemed to be rising in prominence.

It looked like Wen Lin needed to pray to the gods or find a way to turn her luck around.

Time ticked by, and Yun Shifei continued her busy yet joyful daily life.

It seemed she had finally found herself in this moment.

With the winter break approaching, she wasn’t sure if Cheng Lie would be returning home with her. Even if he planned to visit South City, it would likely require more time.

Another extended wait, and they’d have to separate again.

Yun Shifei decided it was time to put her plan into action.

On Friday, after an early class dismissal, she chose to visit Cheng Lie’s home first. After all, she had a copy of his house keys.

However, she still made sure to inform Cheng Lie in advance.

She brought a lot of items with her, some of which were personal and intended to surprise him later that evening.

She had been so busy lately that she hadn’t visited Cheng Lie’s place in almost half a month.

But truthfully, Cheng Lie was just as busy. His company was preparing to launch several new products simultaneously. Recently, they’d released a portable music player, which had garnered positive feedback. Now, Cheng Lie had developed new music and video players.

The increasingly systematic results of his work allowed Yun Shifei to witness the growth of a business tycoon.

Seeing this evolution genuinely gave her a sense of accomplishment.

When Cheng Lie learned that Yun Shifei had come over, he asked her if she wanted him to bring her anything to eat.

Yun Shifei replied, "No need. Just focus on your work—I’ll warm up the bed and wait for you to come back and sleep."

Hearing this playful remark from Yun Shifei, Cheng Lie smiled faintly, thinking she was joking. After all, this girl had been growing bolder by the day lately.

In the past, he would tease her and watch her blush.

Now, she would often joke back, clearly confident that he wouldn’t cross the line. She relied on his indulgence toward her.

Thinking about this, Cheng Lie couldn’t help but grit his teeth slightly—he really wanted to teach Yun Shifei a lesson.

But he knew it was just a passing thought.

That night, Cheng Lie worked overtime and didn’t get home until ten in the evening.

Typically, he would either sleep at the office or return home around midnight or later.

But today, Zhao Pan had found out that Yun Shifei was visiting Cheng Lie, so he urged him to return home earlier. Even Cheng Lie’s employees started encouraging him to leave.

They all felt it wouldn’t be right for their boss to continue working late while his wife was waiting for him at home.

After delegating a few tasks, Cheng Lie finally set his work aside and headed home. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Back at home, the house was pitch-black and silent.

Cheng Lie thought she must already be asleep.

At her school, lights out happened early, unlike for those in the workforce, who often stayed up late into the night.

But this lifestyle was much healthier.

Cheng Lie mused.

He turned on the lights and noticed the dishes left out on the dining table, along with a small note nearby: "Warm up the food if it’s gone cold."

The elegant handwriting warmed Cheng Lie’s heart.

Although he’d eaten something earlier at his office, seeing these lavish dishes made him hungry again.

He went to the kitchen to heat up the food and ended up eating a bowl of rice.

After finishing his meal, Cheng Lie showered and tidied up before heading to his room.

The room was pitch-dark, but he could hear soft breathing sounds.

She was already asleep.

At this point, Yun Shifei had grown accustomed to sleeping next to him, and he seemed to be gradually getting used to it as well.

Even though his sleep was never entirely restful, he still felt emotionally content.

Not wanting to wake Yun Shifei, Cheng Lie refrained from turning on the light and, with the faint moonlight streaming in through the window, quietly made his way to the bed.
