CHAPTER 417: CHAPTER 417: AFRAID HE CAN’T HELP HIMSELF

Every time she visited Cheng Lie, Yun Tiancheng would repeatedly remind her not to do anything inappropriate. Even though she was already an adult, Yun Tiancheng still saw her as a child.

If they weren’t married, then such things were absolutely forbidden.

At that moment, she had been at Cheng Lie’s house for quite some time when Yun Tiancheng called.

Yun Shifei sighed and answered the phone.

After hanging up, she said to Cheng Lie, "My dad’s looking for me. I’ll head back first and come find you later."

Cheng Lie responded with a hum.

Yun Shifei, knowing the situation with Cheng Lie’s eyes, told him not to move around and then headed out.

After Yun Shifei left, the softness on Cheng Lie’s face gradually disappeared.

He thought back to the things Yun Shifei had just said. She mentioned that in her past life, she had died young, probably from an accident, otherwise, she wouldn’t sound so sorrowful.

Even though it was something from her previous life, hearing it still made his chest ache.

He didn’t know exactly when she had returned to this life, but judging from how cautious and hardworking she was now, she must have endured a lot in her past life.

Yun Shifei told Yun Tiancheng that she wanted to stay in Beijing.

Yun Tiancheng looked helpless. "If you don’t go back to South City, what about your career?"

"I’ll still work on it. But Dad, you can take the photos for me and send them over. It’ll be the same, won’t it?"

Yun Tiancheng thought Yun Shifei was certainly good at scheming.

"No, you’re going back with me," he insisted.

How could Yun Tiancheng not know why Yun Shifei wanted to stay in Beijing? Wasn’t it all because of Cheng Lie?

That kid might be young, accomplished, and successful, but Yun Tiancheng felt his Shifei was still just a little girl. Cheng Lie had such a deep mind—what if he tricked her into something inappropriate and she ended up pregnant? That would be disastrous!

Unexpectedly, Yun Tiancheng threw a tantrum this time, leaving Yun Shifei temporarily at a loss for what to do.

She couldn’t help but turn to Xu Ya for help.

It was Xu Ya’s first time facing such a plea from Yun Shifei, so she said to Yun Tiancheng, "Alright, alright, if Shifei doesn’t want to go back, just let her stay in Beijing. She can surely take care of herself."

Hearing these words from Xu Ya, Yun Tiancheng immediately calmed down.

But he still couldn’t completely stop worrying about Yun Shifei.

"Shifei, fine, then stay in Beijing. Just make sure you take care of yourself."

When Yun Shifei heard his words, she couldn’t help but detect a deeper meaning behind Yun Tiancheng’s advice to "take care of yourself."

The next day, Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya boarded a plane back to South City.

Yun Shifei and Cheng Lie went to see them off.

The sky was incredibly blue, and the sunlight was dazzling. Cheng Lie wore a pair of sunglasses to shield his eyes; only then could he step out.

"Cheng Lie, take good care of Shifei," Yun Tiancheng anxiously reminded him.

"Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry," Cheng Lie responded.

After sending Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya off, Cheng Lie turned to Yun Shifei. "Feifei, why don’t you move in with me?"

Yun Shifei: "???"

Living together like this—was that really okay?

"But..."

Cheng Lie interrupted her before she could finish.

"Didn’t you say you wanted to take care of me? If you’re not even willing to live together, how can you talk about taking care of me?"

Yun Shifei thought about it. That seemed to make sense.

Cheng Lie’s eyesight was so poor that he could barely see anything now. He definitely couldn’t cook or do much of anything.

After considering it, Yun Shifei had no objections.

Zhao Pan, who was nearby, couldn’t help but admire Mr. Cheng. Just like that, he had effortlessly convinced Miss Yun to live with him.

So, they went to Yun Shifei’s hotel, loaded her luggage onto the car, and drove to Cheng Lie’s residence.

Yun Shifei had previously stayed at Cheng Lie’s place, but it was only for two days. Now, it would be for half a month, which felt quite long.

When she came here earlier, she hadn’t planned to stay so long and had only brought two sets of clothes. Now that she was moving into Cheng Lie’s place, she’d definitely need to buy more home essentials.

But as soon as she entered, she realized everything had already been prepared—her slippers, toothbrush, towel, and so on—everything that belonged to her.

Yun Shifei looked at Cheng Lie. "Did you already plan to trick me into living here?"

Cheng Lie remained silent, tacitly admitting it.

She knew it! Cheng Lie was just too cunning!

And yet, strangely enough, she really didn’t have the ability to refuse him.

Blame it on her soft heart, she supposed.

Yun Shifei continued to stay in the room next to Cheng Lie’s. After following her into the room, he joked, "We’re already a couple. Aren’t we going to share a bed?"

Yun Shifei froze. Was Cheng Lie seriously flirting with her again, with that same serious expression? She couldn’t take it.

"Nope, nope. I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it at night," Yun Shifei said, turning her head and flashing him a sweet smile.

At first, Cheng Lie didn’t register what she meant by her remark.

After a while, he realized and looked at Yun Shifei with a complex expression.

He found that as Yun Shifei got to know him better, she was becoming harder to tease.

In the past, whenever he flirted with her in a serious tone, it would always make her blush and her heart race.

But now, it was different.

She seemed to understand his thoughts and had even started to turn the tables on him.

For example, at this moment, what she said actually made sense, forcing him to drop the idea.

Otherwise, he might really not be able to hold himself back.

After Yun Shifei finished unpacking, it was about time for a meal.

She opened the refrigerator to see if there was anything to eat. If not, she’d have to go out to buy something.

To her surprise, there were quite a few things inside.

It was clear that Cheng Lie had bought them specifically for her, sparing her the trouble of going out.

Not bad, he was quite thoughtful.

Yun Shifei realized that Cheng Lie had long planned for her to live here.

For lunch, she kept things simple: a tomato scrambled egg, stir-fried green beans with meat, and a plate of vegetables.

As they ate, Yun Shifei looked at Cheng Lie.

Even though his eyesight was poor, he seemed no different from a normal person.

Everything appeared normal as he slowly ate his meal.

He could even sense her gaze and looked up at her.

However, the light in his eyes seemed a bit dim.

His eyes were Cheng Lie’s most precious asset. All his career ambitions depended on them.

But now, he couldn’t see.

Thinking about this, Yun Shifei said, "Let’s go to the hospital this afternoon."

Cheng Lie responded with a hum.

He thought, only by going to the hospital would Yun Shifei feel at ease.

However, even the doctors didn’t know when his eyes would recover.

Thinking about this, he lowered his gaze. If he really lost his vision, his career would likely come to a standstill.

Meng Family.

Currently, from the materials Zhao Pan had obtained, there was no clear connection between them and the biological father he was searching for.
