After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Is it him?

Zhao Pan's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around to see Yun Shifei standing behind him, holding a large

dog.

"Uncle, why do you throw stuff at my house every day?" the girl asked seriously.

Uncle?! Zhao Pan almost spat blood. He was only twenty-five—still in his prime! How could he possibly be an

uncle already?

But now wasn’t the tto be hung up about that. He felt like a thief who had been caught in the act, awkward

and flustered. Luckily, he was clever and thought quickly.

He immediately cup with an excuse.

"It’s not throwing; someone askedto deliver it to you."

Yun Shifei looked at the cake on the ground and then raised her eyes to Zhao Pan. "Who sent it to me?"

He couldn't say. Inside, Zhao Pan was agonized; if he could have told her, he would have done so already.

This Mr. Cheng was undeniably peculiar. Giving gifts was meant to express one’s feelings, but he refused to let

Zhao Pan admit the gifts were from him, leaving Zhao Pan to sneak around like a guilty thief for days.

Just when he was about to be liberated, he got caught.

He looked at the girl, whose vigilant expression had replaced the bewildered, adorable look she had a few days

ago. Now her glass-like, luminous eyes were cold and guarded, as if staring at a villain.

She was even holding a big dog, seemingly to boost her courage. If he made a wrong move, the dog would

probably attack him immediately.

Zhao Pan felt miserably wronged.

Yun Shifei sensed Zhao Pan’s awkward predicament. She knew that unless she took the initiative, he wasn’t

going to say anything.

She asked, "Was it him?"

Him?

Could she have guessed?

Zhao Pan wasn’t sure. He knew the gifts were sent per Mr. Cheng’s instructions, and Mr. Cheng had forbidden

him from naming him.

After deliberating, Zhao Pan nodded and said, "You've got it."

It was really Cheng Lie?

But Zhao Pan's ambiguous reply made her a bit skeptical.

She thought about how few people knew she liked rabbits or sweet food. Using the process of elimination...

"Was it Mu Chengzhu?" Yun Shifei grinned. "Why would he send gifts like this? He could've just taken a few steps

to deliver them himself."

Zhao Pan: "..."

What nonsense? How could it be Mu Chengzhu? That punk couldn't possibly boss him around.

But Yun Shifei seemed to have misunderstood.

"Then I'll have to thank him properly later."

"It wasn’t him," Zhao Pan blurted nervously. "Miss Yun, you've misunderstood."

Seeing Yun Shifei’s demeanor, it looked like she was genuinely planning to thank Mu Chengzhu.

But that couldn’t happen! Zhao Pan knew Mu Chengzhu liked her. If she expressed her gratitude to him, wouldn't

that be a waste of Cheng Lie’s efforts?

Cheng Lie would definitely be furious!

Zhao Pan cleared his throat. "It’s definitely not Mu Chengzhu, Miss Yun."

"Then who was it?"

"lI can't say."

"Was it Cheng Lie?"

Yun Shifei asked directly, catching him off guard.

Zhao Pan coughed again, glanced around like he was conducting a secret agent exchange, and lowered his

voice. "I can’t say for sure, but | think you know."

After that, Zhao Pan said to Yun Shifei, "Alright, I'm leaving now, Miss Yun. I'll deliver your gift tomorrow."

Once he finished, he’d make sure to get as far away as possible—he was done with these sneaky errands.

"Wait!"

Now certain of the answer, Yun Shifei couldn't help but ask, "How is he doing these days?"

"He's doing fine."

Zhao Pan thought about it. The Fourth Master had always treated Cheng Lie well, supporting him since he was a

child and placing high hopes on him.

Of course, Cheng Lie had the talent to warrant it; otherwise, the Fourth Master wouldn't have singled him out for

attention.

After waiting so long, Cheng Lie had finally freed himself to work with the Fourth Master.

Not only that, but Zhao Pan had been specifically assigned to his team.

Becoming subordinate to a younger man—it wasn’t an easy pill to swallow.

And now they'd sent him to South City on a business trip for this...

As Zhao Pan looked at the girl in front of him, he chastised himself. If he couldn't even handle one

straightforward girl, what was the point of all his years of experience?

But wait—had she just tricked him into spilling the truth? Zhao Pan froze in realization.

Yun Shifei still wanted to ask something, but when she looked up, Zhao Pan had already disappeared without a

trace.

Yun shifei: "..."

How could he run faster than a dog?

Zhao Pan knew he had to flee. He'd already said more than he should have, and if she kept pressuring him, he'd

be done for.

Yun Shifei took the cake hand opened it carefully.

The small cake was exquisitely made, decorated with a carousel and a little rabbit.

Yun Shifei couldn't help but chuckle. It really was him.

If he could arrange for someone to bring her food, it meant he hadn't forgotten her. He must be doing well to still

manage such thoughtful gestures.

This realization filled her heart with a sweet excitement, making it beat faster. She eagerly looked forward to

seeing him again someday.

She wondered what he was doing now.

Soon, Yun Shifei had to decide on her college choices.

In the days leading up, Yun Tiancheng had already gathered information about universities in their area for her.

"I heard from your teacher that you can get into Nan City University. Would you like to go there?"

Yun Shifei shook her head. "Dad, | want to attend university in Beijing."

Yun Tiancheng was stunned. "You want to go that far away?"

"Yes, I'd like to explore the area."

"But..." Yun Tiancheng frowned. He

The more he understood Yun Shifei, the more he recognized her independent streak. She had her own strong

opinions and would follow through on her decisions.

"Beijing is fine—it’ll give you a broader perspective of the world."

There were other families whose kids studied in Beijing; he could arrange for them to help look out for Yun Shifei.

Still, he couldn't help feeling worried about his child leaving hfor school in a distant city.

"Shifei, Dad doesn’t feel entirely at ease letting you go."

Recalling Yun Shifei’s past trauma of being abducted, Yun Tiancheng felt a lingering fear.

After searching desperately for so many years to bring her back, he only felt secure when she was by his side.

But...

Yun Tiancheng wanted to say more but knew nothing could change her mind.

Actually, Yun Shifei had her reasons.

She understood that Yun Tj sheng

stale relationship made it

impossible to ignore past grievances.

So, she thought attending college in another city might be better. Returning honly once per semester

seemed fine.

It eased the tension of having to interact so frequently and uncomfortably.

"Sisi, which university do you want to attend?" Mu Jiayu asked Yun Sisi during their meeting.

Yun Sisi sipped her orange juice and replied, "Nan City University, | think."

Mu Chengzhu would be there.
