After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"Nuannuan, are you with me now just to thank me for helping you before?"

Xu Musen suddenly asked softly as he gently hugged An Nuannuan's back; at this moment, he felt a long-lost sensation—the feeling of being cherished and respected.

An Nuannuan slowly rose from his embrace but then leaned in closer to him again, her clear eyes reflecting nothing but Xu Musen's figure.

"At first, it was, but then I got to know you better. I really like your kindness and gentleness toward others. The days I've spent with you have been the happiest," she admitted.

An Nuannuan's face carried the warmth of a spring breeze, her hand gently grasping Xu Musen's fingers.

She always remembered how Xu Musen had confessed his feelings time and again and failed, yet his earnestness never waned.

It wasn't just about liking someone, but also about a promise and protection.

"Xu Musen, even if there wasn't anything from the past, I want to be with you. Can we stay just as good as we are now, if not better?"

Hope shone in An Nuannuan's eyes.

"Of course, and it will be even better," he replied.

Xu Musen felt a warm glow in his heart as he savored the warmth and softness of the girl's palm on his fingers.

An Nuannuan raised a hand and extended her little finger.

"Then let's make a pinkie promise. Once we do, no going back," she suggested.

There was anticipation in An Nuannuan's eyes, as if this was a covenant she had long desired to seal.

Xu Musen looked at her. A pinkie promise, then.

This was the most fragile of contracts, yet also the most reliable.

It relied solely on one's heart.

As variable as a moment, as enduring as time itself.

"Okay," he agreed.

Xu Musen extended his finger, knowing that in life, meeting someone special isn't easy, regardless of what the future holds.

This beautiful moment was worth treasuring for a lifetime.

Their fingers slowly hooked together.

...

At the doorway, Grandma took a sip of hot tea. She couldn't make out the entire conversation in the room but saw through the door crack the two people making a pinkie promise.

Although they were university students, they still used such a method.

Childish, yet also extraordinarily genuine.

An Nuannuan stayed home to rest.

When leaving, Xu Musen held the rabbit-shaped piggy bank.

After greeting Grandpa and Grandma, he left the An Family's sisters' farewell, and got into the car that Aunt Xiang drove back.

Upon arriving at the gate of Hu Hai University.

Aunt Xiang handed Xu Musen a contract, saying, "This is an investment letter the elders want to sign with you. This time they genuinely believe in your project and want to invest."

Aunt Xiang essentially admitted that the previous investment was actually to thank Xu Musen for taking care of An Nuannuan.

Xu Musen examined it and indeed, it was a legitimate investment contract.

Xu Musen really needed money now. Opportunity is all about timing; the big cake of food delivery would inevitably attract attention sooner or later.

Sooner or later, Xu Musen wouldn't hold out, so it would be better to secure more investments now and quickly stabilize his position to gain greater benefits.

Therefore, he actually needed this investment, especially this kind, where they only provide funds for shares without seeking control.

"The An Family has some connections in Hu Hai; it's a deep pool here, and signing the contract would be beneficial for you," Aunt Xiang added.

Today, the elders had entrusted her with tasks, indicating high hopes for this young man.

Xu Musen did not refuse this time; that would be too ungrateful. He smiled and said, "Please thank Grandpa and Grandma for me. I will remember this favor and return it manifold before long."

Xu Musen had the confidence to multiply his income more than tenfold in the coming time.

After getting off the car.

Xu Musen returned to the tea shop.

Zhao Lianmai finished delivering the orders and was helping out in the tea shop when she saw Xu Musen come back alone.

She asked, "Where's Nuannuan?"

"She went home to rest and will be back in a couple of days," he responded as he moved a fortune tree from the counter to make room for a small rabbit piggy bank.

"What's this?"

Zhao Lianmai observed Xu Musen moving the fortune tree to the corner while placing a toy in its stead, somewhat puzzled.

This miserly capitalist, Xu Musen, would really relegate such a thing as a fortune tree to the side?

But Xu Musen just smiled, looking at the rabbit piggy bank and pinching the ears of the two rabbits fondly, the cute look reminiscent of that silly girl.

"This is my true fortune rabbit..." he declared.

Zhao Lianmai quietly pursed her lips, a bit perplexed.

Yet seeing his full-faced smile and affectionate gaze,

She suddenly thought... was he about to fall in love?
