After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 491 House Arrest

Yun Shifei coaxed Yun Tiancheng for a long time before Yun Tiancheng’s anger gradually subsided.

Feeling a little tired herself, Yun Shifei peeled an orange to eat and glanced at Cheng Lie. "How about we go upstairs and rest for a bit?"

Yun Tiancheng looked at Yun Shifei and said, "You’re just engaged, not married yet!"

Seeing Yun Tiancheng’s solemn expression, Yun Shifei smiled sweetly. "Dad, we’re just taking a nap, that’s all. We won’t do anything."

The moment she said that, Yun Shifei realized she had misspoken.

Oh no, in Yun Tiancheng’s eyes, she’d always been a well-behaved daughter. But now, she had said something so outrageous!

We won’t do anything!

Yun Tiancheng’s gaze toward Yun Shifei changed.

Was this still the innocent and obedient daughter he knew?

Why did it seem like she knew a bit too much?

Yun Shifei buried her face in Cheng Lie’s arm, trying to calm herself down and escape the awkwardness.

Cheng Lie chuckled softly, shielding Yun Shifei behind him as he calmly said to Yun Tiancheng, "Dad, we’re just going upstairs to rest. I promise, I won’t touch her."

He even called him "Dad"!

Yun Tiancheng was too stunned to respond.

However, that "Dad" did sound surprisingly pleasant to his ear.

Yun Tiancheng knew that if Cheng Lie gave his word, he would keep it.

So, he said to Yun Shifei, "Fine, go upstairs and rest."

As for him, he needed to process everything that had happened today. It was all a bit too much for his understanding.

Yun Shifei pulled Cheng Lie upstairs, glancing back at Yun Tiancheng, who now looked like he was questioning his life choices.

Yun Shifei sighed softly.

Oh well, she had wanted to change her image anyway.

Back in the room, she closed the door and turned, only to meet Cheng Lie’s smiling eyes.

When he smiled, his eyes sparkled like stars, making him exceptionally charming.

No matter how many times she had seen it—despite all their kisses and hugs—Yun Shifei’s heart still raced.

Once, she had heard someone say, "In a lifetime, you may fall in love with many people. But a good relationship is falling in love with the same person over and over again."

That seemed to perfectly describe her feelings for Cheng Lie now.

Thinking of this, Yun Shifei’s cheeks flushed. She asked, "Why are you smiling?"

"Because of you."

Yun Shifei huffed, feeling slightly offended.

Seeing her puffed-up cheeks, Cheng Lie couldn’t resist poking her face. So cute.

"I didn’t realize how bold our Feifei is, dragging me to bed in the middle of the day."

Yun Shifei huffed again. "Too bad someone doesn’t have the guts to actually sleep with me."

Saying that, Yun Shifei began to suspect if Cheng Lie had certain... issues.

Maybe he wasn’t lacking courage, but rather, lacked the ability.

In that case, she shouldn’t keep pressuring him.

After all, just being with him made her happy. She didn’t need much else.

Though Xu Yuejiao often told her that physical harmony was very important.

But then again, Xu Yuejiao was currently single. What did she know about what’s important or not?

If Xu Yuejiao knew Yun Shifei was thinking this about her, she would definitely feel upset.

All her advice was out of concern for her cousin, only to be disparaged behind her back.

Cheng Lie, hearing Yun Shifei’s words, said, "Alright, let’s sleep then."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently pushed Yun Shifei onto the bed.

Then, leaning over, he pressed down on her.

Yun Shifei froze.

In broad daylight, with the two of them so close, his masculine presence completely surrounded her.

Thump, thump, thump—

Yun Shifei could hear her own heartbeat pounding so loudly it felt like it would burst out of her chest.

Their eyes met, and it felt as though even the air had stilled.

Soon, Cheng Lie lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The kiss was gentle and delicate. Yun Shifei, pinned underneath him, didn’t resist and let him take control.

She didn’t want to resist. After so many kisses, she realized her kissing skills had greatly improved. She fully savored this moment.

However, the man was notably restrained. He only kissed her lightly before letting go.

Yun Shifei’s eyes shimmered with emotion, a hint of dissatisfaction in them.

Cheng Lie smiled and said, "Let’s sleep."

If he kissed her any longer, he feared he wouldn’t be able to control himself.

The two lay down on the bed. Yun Shifei nestled into Cheng Lie’s arms, thoughts drifting back to whether he might truly have issues, before unexpectedly dozing off.

Hmm...

Being in Cheng Lie’s arms really brought her an incredible sense of security.

Cheng Lie, however, didn’t sleep. He stared at the wall beside him, where a framed drawing hung—a flower he had given her long ago.

Time had passed, and the drawing bore signs of age.

Back then, the two of them had watched fireworks together.

She had been innocent and clueless, while he had been nervously lovestruck.

At the time, his future was uncertain, and her life was full of promise.

He always felt unworthy of her. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Looking back now, his feelings back then seemed so pure.

At least when he made that drawing, he had been thinking, even if they couldn’t be together, spending one more day with her was a gift.

Who would’ve thought they’d actually end up together—and even get engaged?

Thinking of this, Cheng Lie couldn’t help but glance at the girl sleeping soundly in his arms.

She might never realize just how much strength she had given him.

Meanwhile, at the Mu Family residence.

Yun Sisi had been sent back to the Mu Family by Cheng Lie. The entire Mu Family was now under surveillance.

It wasn’t an extremely rigid watch, but if they left the house, someone would be trailing them.

Mu Jiayu was thoroughly annoyed by it. Even when she went out for a date, someone followed her.

Following her was one thing, but they also wouldn’t let her leave the neighborhood.

When she threatened to call the police, they even showed her official paperwork.

She was actually listed as a suspect.

Damn it! How was she a suspect?

And now, Yun Sisi had been sent back too.

Mu Jiayu had also heard about how Mu Chengzhu and Yun Sisi had kidnapped Yun Shifei. She found it incomprehensible.

"Sisi, where’s my brother?"

The moment she saw Yun Sisi, Mu Jiayu immediately asked for Mu Chengzhu’s whereabouts.

She had wanted to confront Mu Chengzhu about all this for a while now.

Yun Sisi shook her head. "Your brother must’ve run off."

They had locked her up for a whole day, and she still hadn’t seen Mu Chengzhu.

He must’ve realized something was wrong and escaped ahead of time.

Which, honestly, wasn’t a bad outcome. Yun Sisi thought that at least as long as Mu Chengzhu didn’t return, Cheng Lie wouldn’t be able to do anything to them.

As Yun Sisi was mulling this over, a slap suddenly landed across her face.

The force of it sent her staggering, nearly falling to the ground if Mu Jiayu hadn’t caught her.

"Yun Sisi, what did you say to my son? Why would he do something like this?"

The one who slapped Yun Sisi was none other than Chen Min. As Mu Chengzhu’s mother, Chen Min was, of course, inclined to take Mu Chengzhu’s side.
