Reborn: Married to the Demon King

Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Coincidental Encounter

Moreover, who doesn’t have their own secrets?

Doesn't she have secrets with Mu Chengzhu as well?

Whenever Cheng Lie thought about Yun Shifei and Mu Chengzhu having secrets that belonged only to the two of

them, a dull ache would throb in his chest. It wasn’t an intense pain, but every tit crossed his mind, it left

him feeling profoundly uncomfortable.

He even faintly suspected that the reason their relationship was so poor was, in large part, because they shared

a secret...

And this secret, she probably wouldn't tell him.

So then, everyone having their own secrets—shouldn’t that be considered perfectly normal?

Qin Chi Jin rambled on, but after noticing that apart from the initial slight reaction, Cheng Lie’s expression

remained cold and detached for the rest of the time, he was puzzled.

Since when had his eloquence failed him? To the point of being unable to persuade even someone so young?

But truth be told, Cheng Lie wasn’t just any ordinary kid.

"I know how to handle my relationship with her. You don’t need to interfere," the boy’s voice finally floated forth

after a long while.

Qin Chi Jin felt hurt—he’d kindly tried to remind Cheng Lie, only to be told to stay out of it?

Cheng Lie turned his head to gaze out the window at the rapidly retreating scenery. The shifting light and

shadows fell across his face in a disorderly, chaotic way.

When it cto feelings, he found himself strangely powerless.

Actually, what Qin Chi Jin said wasn’t entirely without reason. Both of them carried their own burdens deep

within, so how could their relationship progress any further?

After returning home, Cheng Lie continued to mull over the matter.

A short while later, his phone rang.

After answering, a calm and composed girl's voice cthrough: "Mr. Cheng, this is Wen Lin. Next week,

Grandpa is planning to visit Xi Garden and wants you to join him. Are you available?"

Xi Garden?

Cheng Lie thought for a moment. This was the place Yun Shifei had mentioned last time, saying she wanted to

chere for sketching.

Yun Shifei organized her painting supplies and glanced at the snowman on the table.

The weather was sunny now, and the snow outside had long since melted away. Yet this snowman remained

preserved within its glass case, still looking beautiful.

She thought of how Cheng Lie had injured himself so seriously while making this and wondered if he had fully

recovered.

No matter what, she was determined to treasure this gift dearly.

She wiped down the glass case before continuing to pack up her belongings.

She didn’t need to prepare much—just her easel, paper, and pencils.

With her complete lack of any real talent for painting, this wasn’t so much an artistic outing as it was an excuse

to have fun.

After not seeing Xu Yuejiao for several days, Yun Shifei heard that she planned to join the trip to Xi Garden as

well, clamoring to bring her along.

Thus, Yun Shifei ended up inviting Xu Yuejiao along.

Including Xu Yuejiao, there were eight people altogether—four boys and four girls—taking the bus to get there.

By the tthey arrived, it was already noon.

The weather was good today, with clear blue skies and brilliant sunshine, so it didn’t feel too cold. However, it

was incredibly dry. Despite Yun Shifei having applied plenty of moisturizer before leaving, her skin already felt

parched.

The climate in Beijing wasn’t ideal in this respect—the winters were far too dry.

Back in South City, there would be occasional rain during the winter, but in Beijing, laundry hung out to dry

would already be crisp by the next day.

She used to detest South City’s clammy weather, but now she found herself disliking Beijing's dry air as well.

"Let’s take a break and grab sfood first," Xiang Wenwen suggested, turning to Yun Shifei. "Shi Fei, what do

you feel like eating?"

Everyone here appeared strikingly beautiful, especially the art students, whose fondness for aesthetics meant

they were naturally drawn to attractive people. That's why, even though Yun Shifei rarely joined the collective

activities of the art club, her fellow members still liked her greatly.

"I heard there's a mutton hotpot place here that’s supposed to be really good. I'd like to try that," she said.

This was something she remembered from her past life, when that restaurant had beca viral sensation, with

long lines forming outside daily. In this life, however, it might not be as popular as before.

On such a cold day, eating mutton would be perfect for warming up.

"Alright then, let's go for hotpot!" Xiang Wenwen concluded decisively, and none of the others objected.

They planned to stay overnight there.

Xi Garden, which had once been a Royal Garden, covered an expansive area—almost the size of a small town.

After becoming vacant, it had been partially converted into a residential area, and their hotel was located within

that neighborhood.

Yun Shifei and Xu Yuejiao shared a room, while the others paired up two by two.

After settling in, Xiang Wenwen took them to the most famous mutton hotpot restaurant within Xi Garden.

This restaurant was bustling, with a steady stream of patrons.

However, as soon as they reached the entrance, they were stopped.

"Excuse me, but guests without a reservation cannot enter," the attendant at the door said politely.

"You need a reservation now?" Xiang Wenwen frowned. "The last t| chere, that wasn’t required."

"I'm sorry, but the circumstances are different this time," the attendant replied.

He valued tranquility, so the restaurant couldn't allow too many patrons inside simultaneously.

Xu Yuejiao peered inside, puzzled.

Xu Yuejiao had a fiery temperament, and her tone turned sharp as she spoke.

Being unfairly underestimated? Absurd!

such complaints, maintained a calm

"Tch—" Xu Yuejiao clicked her tongue, finding it all terribly unappealing. "Is your restaurant really that famous?

Worth waiting several days for?"

She turned to the others. "Let's find somewhere else to eat."

Yun Shifei had no objections, though part of her felt it was a shame. Who would've thought this place was

already such a hotspot at this time, so popular?

Still, her principle was clear: no matter how delicious the food was, it wasn’t worth spending excessive tand

energy waiting for it.

Just then, someone descended from the upper floor.

Wen Lin had received a call saying an uncle was coming to visit Mr. Wen, so she’d cdownstairs to personally

escort him.

To her surprise, she spotted several young people standing by the entrance.

Among them were boys and girls, their faces fresh and youthful—probably students.

But after just a glance, she immediately noticed the girl who stood out amidst the crowd.

She wore a deep brown coat, complete with a hat, scarf, and gloves. Thoroughly bundled up.

Yet despite being so covered up, her exposed features made it impossible not to notice her.

Her fair skin and exquisite features were vibrant and lively, like flowers in full bloom during March—radiant,

captivating, and utterly delicate.

At that moment, she was slightly tilting her head, speaking to the girl beside her.

There was a quiet warmth in her expression, contrasting with the cool elegance that defined her overall aura.
