After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 359 She Knew She Won the Bet

!!

As soon as Lu Sheng spoke, not to mention Li Muchen, even Ning Yu beside him was stunned.

Ning Yu had never expected that Lu Sheng would reveal her true identity in front of Li Muchen.

"You..."

Ning Yu’s expression could hardly hide his shock, and after Lu Sheng finished speaking to Li Muchen, she turned her head to look at him.

Her gaze was calm, her voice even more serene than usual. Her pupils, clear black and white, were devoid of emotion; one couldn’t tell if she felt sorrow or joy, anger or pleasure.

"Didn’t you ask me if Li Muchen would still love me the same way if he knew I was a demon?"

"Now I’m telling him so that he can give me an answer."

"..."

Ning Yu took a deep breath.

He thought he was crazy enough, but the girl was clearly crazier, and in such a lucidly rational way!

It completely caught him off guard.

Doesn’t she fear that Li Muchen, a human, might not accept the fact that she is a demon and abandon her?

Doesn’t she fear that human love, which is mostly based on interests, is not that pure and solid; like a building made of sand, it could crumble at any time?

Doesn’t she fear that if Li Muchen spreads the word, she will lose everything, be ostracized by all humans, and then be hunted by the Demon Hunter clan?

Once targeted by Demon Hunters, they would relentlessly seek to eradicate their prey, sticking to them like a relentlessly adhesive plaster no matter how far they run.

Is she truly that confident in this man’s love, or, does she actually want to know the answer to this question?

Meanwhile, outside the elevator.

Li Muchen knew that the Lu family was hosting a party tonight, so he came over after finishing his company work.

Others in the living room told him that Lu Sheng had taken Huo Yu elsewhere to discuss something, and since Lu Sheng didn’t have her phone with her, he started searching around the villa.

He never expected to find Lu Sheng and Huo Yu in the elevator, and he certainly didn’t expect Lu Sheng’s first words upon seeing him to be so calmly stated.

[Li Muchen, I’m not human, I’m a demon.] freёwebnoѵel.com

Not human, but a demon... what did that mean?

Li Muchen’s first response was bewilderment.

If not human, then who was this girl standing in front of him named Lu Sheng?

What kind of demon was she? What did she rely on for survival, or what did she hope to gain from humans?

And why would she say these things in front of Huo Yu? Does that mean Huo Yu is also a demon?

Lu Sheng’s brief statement contained too much information, well beyond the understanding of ordinary people, yet she did not explain much to Li Muchen.

Li Muchen had no idea what exactly was going on, nor what had happened.

However, he clearly heard what Lu Sheng said to Ning Yu, he heard that sentence [didn’t you ask me if Li Muchen would still love me the same way if he knew I was a demon?].

Li Muchen realized that the girl’s emotions were not as calm as they appeared, or perhaps he knew his beloved better than anyone else.

So he looked at Lu Sheng, who had her back to him, and without even thinking, he replied: "I love you."

No matter what the girl’s identity, Li Muchen only knew for certain that the person he fell in love with at first sight that day, sitting beside the half-open car window, like light illuminating his eternally dark life, was right in front of him.

Li Muchen gazed at Lu Sheng’s back.

"Although I don’t know the specifics, baby, no matter your identity or what has happened, I love you."

"No matter if you need me to offer my heart to you, or if you approached me with ulterior motives, it doesn’t matter... what I mean is, I love you."

Lu Sheng’s expression was resolute when facing Ning Yu.

But if you look closely, you could see her shoulders shaking slightly upon hearing Li Muchen’s answer.

Her previously silently clenched fingers, some of them turning white at the knuckles, suddenly relaxed.

As if all strength had left them.

Lu Sheng didn’t reveal the truth to Li Muchen out of spite due to Ning Yu, but rather because Ning Yu’s previous words had struck a chord within her.

In human perception, demons are monsters with terrifying true appearances.

They are cunning and deceitful, harming others for their survival, able to take human form or possess humans, eating humans or absorbing their essence.

In those traditional stories filled with supernatural mystery, those who get close to demons or are entangled by them usually end up dying miserably.

The fear and repulsion towards the word demon are both instinctual and based on judgment and knowledge.

Ning Yu said, during the more than half a year that she had become Lu Sheng, she cautiously kept her true identity hidden, not only in front of the Lu family but also in front of Li Muchen.

Ning Yu said she was actually scared, scared that the first human she fell in love with, upon learning she was a demon, would also treat her as an outcast.

Perhaps subconsciously, she really wished to avoid this.

But she definitely wasn’t the kind of person who fears abandonment to the point of terror.

Love is a choice from both sides. True love shouldn’t contain such significant concealments and deceit; it should be built on mutual understanding and trust. Therefore, Li Muchen had the right to know the truth.

So Lu Sheng was also taking a gamble.

She believed in Li Muchen’s love.

If Li Muchen really couldn’t accept the truth, she was willing to bear the consequences, even if it meant leaving his world behind.

But evidently.

When Li Muchen, looking at her back, firmly said "I love you," and declared that even offering his heart for her would be alright, she knew she had won her bet.
