After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

"Shi Fei, if I divorced your mom, would you be willing to stay with me?" Yun Tiancheng asked Yun Shifei while driving.

Yun Shifei hadn’t expected Yun Tiancheng to ask such a thing and was startled: "Dad, what are you saying?"

"Your mom was absolutely infuriating today!" Yun Tiancheng shook his head. "You are her biological daughter, yet she can treat you this way. I am your biological father, and I won’t allow her to treat you like this anymore."

Yun Shifei remembered that Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya had always been very loving—a model couple that everyone admired.

Now, Yun Tiancheng was talking about divorcing Xu Ya because of her?

Yun Shifei couldn’t quite put into words how she felt.

She thought it through for a moment and weakly said, "Dad, maybe Mom is just too worried about Sisi, that’s why she acted this way."

"Yes, she is overly concerned with Sisi. She can’t even differentiate right from wrong. I’ve been far too disappointed in her."

"Mom always scolds me because of Sisi. Dad, am I really inferior to Sisi in every way?" Yun Shifei asked, hurt.

"Don’t overthink it. To me, you’re always the best," Yun Tiancheng responded instinctively.

But Yun Shifei’s mention of it brought the scene to his mind. Xu Ya had let her anger blind her judgment, all because Yun Sisi had shifted the blame onto Yun Shifei.

That’s it! Every time Xu Ya lost her temper and reprimanded Yun Shifei, it was always because of Yun Sisi.

Once might’ve been a coincidence, but it happened time and time again. How could that be a mere coincidence?

The more Yun Tiancheng thought about it, the more wrong it seemed.

After a while, he sighed deeply: "Sisi looks obedient, but she’s clearly been spoiled."

Back when Xu Ya was trying to compensate for losing Yun Shifei, she must’ve devoted so much effort into Sisi—almost to the point of indulgence. It was no surprise that Yun Sisi had grown up so pampered.

But now, thinking deeper, this wasn’t just indulgence.

Yun Sisi had her own schemes.

It was likely she feared Yun Shifei taking away their affection, which is why she repeatedly stirred up conflict.

Yun Shifei glanced at Yun Tiancheng, knowing she’d achieved the effect she wanted.

Yun Tiancheng was starting to doubt Yun Sisi. Doubt was like a seed—once planted in someone’s heart, it was hard to remove.

Yun Shifei exhaled gently in relief.

She truly didn’t want to resort to this, but she was being pushed.

If she didn’t fight for herself, she’d still be forced back into the same miserable situation as her past life.

She didn’t want that.

Just because she tread carefully didn’t mean she was willing to drift passively with the tide, afraid to strike back.

Her revenge was simply restrained.

Yun Tiancheng bought some medicine for Yun Shifei to apply to the wounds on her face.

The cool salve on her face eased the pain significantly.

Yun Tiancheng then drove Yun Shifei out for dinner.

He also bought her a mountain of snacks and daily necessities.

While driving, he said, "Shifei, if you need anything else, just tell me and I’ll buy it for you."

Seeing the backseat piled with items, Yun Shifei broke into a cold sweat. She genuinely didn’t need so much stuff.

They wandered around outside for a while, and since Yun Tiancheng noticed Yun Shifei’s mood had improved, it wasn’t until near ten o’clock that he drove her home.

At this time, back at the Yun Family house,

the atmosphere was extremely low.

When they returned, they all sat in the living room without touching dinner.

Yun Sisi was already regretting. The moment the truth was uncovered, she wished she could dig a hole and disappear.

She wished time could turn back; she would never have smeared Yun Shifei just for the fleeting satisfaction of the moment.

Xu Ya might feel sorry for her.

But Yun Tiancheng—level-headed and rational—though he cared for her, he wouldn’t be swayed by emotions like Xu Ya.

He would analyze the root of the problem.

The more she thought, the more jittery Yun Sisi became.

She cautiously glanced at Xu Ya.

At the moment, Xu Ya wasn’t paying her any attention. She sat on the sofa, staring blankly into the distance, lost in thought. It was unclear what she was thinking about.

However, Yun Sisi could clearly sense Xu Ya’s demeanor was lifeless, like she had suddenly aged ten years.

After this incident, definitely Xu Ya would feel guilty towards Yun Shifei, wouldn’t she?

And Yun Shifei, without lifting a finger, managed to easily win over the familial affection she’d spent over a decade cultivating.

Is this the power of blood ties?

Yun Sisi felt both furious and jealous.

She couldn’t shake off the feeling that Yun Shifei had just played her.

Thinking back on Yun Shifei’s calm demeanor after being accused, she realized—when did Yun Shifei start behaving like an entirely different person?

In the past, if Yun Shifei were misunderstood, she would’ve definitely thrown a tantrum, screaming and cursing at her.

Like a clown—dramatic and annoying.

But now, her quiet and reserved expression only made Yun Sisi look like the true fool, ignorant and absurd.

The more Yun Sisi reflected, the more uneasy she felt deep inside.

She had a sense things were growing increasingly complicated.

Soon, Yun Tiancheng and Yun Shifei returned.

Carrying shopping bags upon shopping bags, their moods seemed rather pleasant.

Yun Sisi immediately recognized the logos on Yun Tiancheng’s bags.

They were from the most popular clothing brand, selling trendy and attractive items, none of which came cheap.

Yun Tiancheng had bought so much for Yun Shifei?

For someone like her, with such an unpleasant face, did she even deserve it?

However, despite the indignation in her heart, Yun Sisi still obediently called out, "Dad, Sis, you’re back."

Yun Tiancheng didn’t reply. He glanced at her, a slightly stern expression in his eyes that sent a chill down Yun Sisi’s spine.

Yun Sisi froze in panic. The way he looked at her—it didn’t feel like the gaze of a father toward his daughter.

Or was it her imagination?

"Shifei." Xu Ya, hearing the commotion, snapped out of her daze. She walked toward Yun Shifei, her gaze landing on her face, full of complicated emotions. "Shifei, are you alright?"

There were many things she wanted to say, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn’t voice them.

"Shifei is tired. Let her go upstairs and rest," Yun Tiancheng interrupted, not wanting Yun Shifei to keep worrying about the matter. Xu Ya’s repeated lapses in judgment were disappointing not just to Yun Shifei, but to him as well.

"Alright, Mom, Dad, I’ll go rest first."

Watching Yun Shifei ascend the stairs, Xu Ya still hadn’t recovered from her trance.

"Sisi, come with me to the study," Yun Tiancheng said, motioning toward the room.

Yun Sisi’s heart sank immediately. She rarely experienced such a solemn expression from Yun Tiancheng.

"Sisi, ever since we adopted you from the orphanage, we’ve always treated you as our own daughter," Yun Tiancheng began.

He sat in his executive chair, brewing a pot of tea, and gestured for Yun Sisi to sit across from him.

Despite being deeply dissatisfied with her, he was still her father, having raised her since childhood—he didn’t want her to feel overly anxious.

But Yun Sisi was already nervous. From the moment Yun Tiancheng uttered those words, she realized the situation had escalated significantly.

This had reached a whole new level!

Her fingernails dug deep into the skin of her palms, breaking through.

"Even after Shifei returned, to ensure you wouldn’t overthink, we consciously refrained from spoiling her too much." After a pause, Yun Tiancheng added, "But your actions have truly disappointed me. How could you be so utterly intolerant of your sister?"

If Yun Shifei hadn’t inadvertently revealed the truth, Yun Tiancheng might still have been deceived.

He was starting to regret initially following Xu Ya’s suggestion to conceal his affection for Yun Shifei.

The reality was, this approach hadn’t solved anything.
