After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"I'm certainly not some young lady, but you are indeed Boss Xu. If I don't curry favor with you now, I might really not be able to in the future."

Yao Mingyue said in a pitiful tone.

Xu Musen didn't respond and went to brush his teeth and wash his face, while Yao Mingyue handed him a towel by his side.

Xu Musen still felt a bit uncomfortable.

In his past life, it was always him taking care of Yao Mingyue like this.

How come it feels like the roles have reversed now, but he somehow felt a bit odd about it.

Could it be that he wasn't destined to enjoy such fortune?

Xu Musen started to get busy in the kitchen, and Yao Mingyue just stood by watching him.

In the past half-year, the two of them hadn't spent much time alone together, especially at school, where they could even go several days without seeing each other.

It was only when they returned home that they truly had time for just the two of them.

"Musen, we agreed to go out today. You're not going to go back on your word, are you?"

Yao Mingyue suddenly asked.

Xu Musen looked at her expectant expression, thought for a moment, and since he had nothing else to do today, he nodded, "I can, sure, where do you want to go?"

"You don't need to worry about that. I'll make sure to take you home at night, so don't fret, I definitely won't take advantage of you."

Yao Mingyue chuckled, stretched out her hand, and gently patted Xu Musen's shoulder with a tone akin to an old rascal's.

Xu Musen felt somewhat speechless.

Weren't those lines usually his?

"I'll definitely take you back at night" "Since it's so late, let's find a place to rest" "Don't worry, I'll just sleep" "Go take a bath" "Baby, you smell so good, your hands are so small" "I'll just hold you" "Just a little bit, I promise." "Baby, I'll be responsible for you..."

Xu Musen shook his head as the red bean glutinous rice cakes in the steamer were ready. Yao Mingyue took charge of decorating them with a few red dates and raisins.

Yao Mingyue couldn't wait and picked up a piece, took a bite.

"Hoo hoo~ So hot."

Yao Mingyue covered her flushed lips, with hot breath puffing from her mouth.

"Serves you right for being greedy, daring to put something just out of the pot right into your mouth." Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

Xu Musen laughed mockingly without any sympathy.

He remembered doing the same thing when he was a kid, impatiently eating food straight out of the pot and ending up with a blister in his mouth.

Yao Mingyue, looking at his mocking face, was so irritated her face turned red. She rotated her eyes, took the pastry out of her mouth, and stuffed it into his laughing mouth.

"Huh!"

Xu Musen was caught off guard and swallowed it reflexively, thanking his lucky stars Yao Mingyue had rolled it around in her mouth a few times, so it wasn't too hot anymore.

But somehow, he sensed a trace of floral scent in the red bean glutinous rice cake...

"Yao Mingyue!"

Xu Musen glared at her.

"Hahaha, that's for laughing at me. Serves you right, loo loo loo~"

At that moment, Yao Mingyue looked like a little girl who had succeeded in a prank, even winking at him, "My saliva isn't something just anyone can taste, you're lucky."

Xu Musen couldn't be bothered with her.

"It's quite lively this early in the morning."

By this time, Mother Xu had also gotten up and came to the kitchen to watch the two of them.

Although she was quite pleased with the girl's photo she saw last night,

she couldn't help but think "well-matched" as she watched them playfully bickering.

After all, this was the close relationship she had witnessed growing over nearly twenty years, not something that could change overnight.

"Auntie, try the red bean glutinous rice cake we made!"

Yao Mingyue excitedly offered her a piece of the cake.

Mother Xu smiled and took a bite, nodding her head, "Not bad at all. Did you make this?"

"She was just in charge of putting some red dates and raisins on top."

Xu Musen unapologetically exposed her lack of effort from the side.

"That still counts as part of the work, auntie, don't you think?"

Yao Mingyue huffed, coquettishly speaking to Mother Xu.

"Indeed, indeed."

Mother Xu laughed heartily, looking at Yao Mingyue with a touch of sentimentality.

Since their family's misfortunes, this young lady's personality had changed a lot. She was no longer as cheerful and outgoing as before and didn't laugh as much,

But now, she was gradually returning to her old ways—laughing, frolicking, acting spoilt, and even a little bit imperious,

Just like the Yao Mingyue of the past.

But such a good girl, if she ended up in someone else's hands someday...

Mother Xu's heart felt suddenly heavy with unspeakable emotion.

"By the way, auntie, could you save some flowers for me today? The ones that we can't sell."

"Why do you suddenly want flowers?"

Mother Xu asked curiously.

"To use for soaking my feet and taking baths," Yao Mingyue replied with a twinkle in her eyes, smiling.

"Okay, there are always some left over every day, I'll keep them for you." Mother Xu nodded and readily agreed without hesitation.

The breakfast table was lively.

Yao Mingyue's hand hadn't healed, or at least that's what she claimed, so Xu Musen had no choice but to continue feeding her.

It created a rather peculiar sense of harmony.

After eating, Yao Mingyue went home to change clothes, pulling Xu Musen along to leave.

Mother Xu was busy cleaning up the table while Father Xu took a sip of tea and clicked his tongue, "Do you think Musen is really in love?"

Chinese fathers typically show less concern for their children's emotional affairs, or rather feel awkward asking.

Xu Musen's current relationship status was something they knew about mostly through her.

"That couldn't fool you. I talked with the boy last night and he even showed me a photo of the girl. She's indeed beautiful, has a good figure, and she's from Huhai too. Her family seems quite nice as well," Mother Xu said, recalling the nice girl she saw in the photo yesterday.
