After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady
Chapter 283: Another Path for Ming Yue_3
An Nuannuan was the lady of the house, so it was necessary to tell her first.
Xu Musen prepared to go and greet An Nuannuan.
But as soon as he entered the master bedroom, he found the wardrobe opened and An Nuannuan struggling to hold a quilt and sheets that were bigger than her.
Xu Musen quickly went to help her.
"Nuannuan, what are you doing?"
"I'm preparing quilts for the uncle and aunt!"
An Nuannuan's legs had healed, but after so many years without walking, her stamina was still worse than that of an ordinary person.
She was preparing quilts inside and out, exhausted, her pretty face flushed, with a bit of fine sweat on her forehead.
Xu Musen rolled up his sleeves to wipe the sweat from her forehead, looked at the two sets of neatly arranged quilts, and smiled, "Are you thinking of having Yao Mingyue stay over as well?"
"Yes, yes, it's already dark outside."
"You don't mind? This is our new house after all."
Xu Musen gently cradled her pretty face.
An Nuannuan's eyes sparkled as she spoke, "Of course not, we're family, and the people you care about are also the people I care about, mom told me, a girl has to give her… husband face!"
By the end of her sentence, An Nuannuan's face was flushed, but her tone was more assertive than ever.
They had now officially met each other's parents and received approval!
Xu Musen laughed heartily and kissed her gently.
"Alright, my dear wife, you rest for a bit, I'll go tell them."
"Mhm~"
Nighttime.
Liu Rushuang and Yao Mingyue were sleeping in the same room.
"Not to mention, although this room isn't big, it's quite cozy. It's been a long time since we lived under one roof like this."
Liu Rushuang lay comfortably on the bed, not feeling constrained by the new environment at all.
Compared to her villa, the neighborhood naturally seemed small, but it certainly felt more humane than living in an empty villa.
Yao Mingyue was sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing An Nuannuan's pajamas.
She was a bit taller than An Nuannuan.
But the clothes that fit An Nuannuan perfectly appeared quite loose on her.
An invisible sense of defeat.
She sat on the bed hugging her legs, feeling a bit gloomy.
"Baby, what are you thinking about?"
Liu Rushuang embraced her daughter from behind, cuddling together.
"Mom, don't hug me like this..."
Yao Mingyue felt even more depressed, feeling her back being flaunted mercilessly. Really, her mom was at that age but still felt as sprightly as a young girl.
"Hehe, are you still thinking about Xiao Sen?"
"What's there to think about him? He's not thinking about me right now."
Yao Mingyue didn't care, but one could almost drop vinegar from her words.
Thinking back to what An Nuannuan had said earlier, with Yao Mingyue's personality, it was really hard for her to say those words.
"See, you were just too proud before. Look at that girl called Nuannuan, she might seem naive, but when it comes to sweet-talking, she doesn't hesitate. If you were as good with words, Xiao Sen would have been yours long ago!"
Liu Rushuang was somewhat frustrated. If it were her, just a little sweet talk and a boy like Xiao Sen would have no escape!
Yao Mingyue's face turned red; in this life she was a young woman, but in her last life... Anyway, it was all a mess of nonsensical words.
"Mom, do you think I still have a chance?"
Yao Mingyue still felt a bit melancholic. Today, they had truly met each other's parents on both sides.
Although they weren't of the age to talk about marriage yet, in at most two or three years, right after graduation, it was certain to be marriage.
No, that bastard Xu Musen, maybe they could even start having kids before finishing university...
"Well, it depends on what you mean by a chance. Xiao Sen has been in love with you for eighteen years and hasn't had a chance. If you really can't do without him, then be prepared to give more."
Liu Rushuang lovingly patted her daughter's head.
Although these words were harsh, they were the truth.
Yao Mingyue was silent for a while.
"However, I always feel that Xiao Sen's attitude towards you is no longer the same. Men... sometimes they have an overflowing tolerance, also colloquially known as... "
"Scumbag!"
Yao Mingyue said through clenched teeth.
Liu Rushuang smiled: "That's normal. Xiao Sen at his age, being so capable, it's natural that there are girls who like him. It's like in the animal world; if there weren't human so-called etiquettes and morals, fundamentally it's usually one male monopolizing the entire species."
"Him?"
Yao Mingyue clenched her teeth, though she admitted that Xu Musen was indeed very outstanding now, surrounded by talented girls.
"Hmph, he's only a bit nicer to her, to everyone else he's just polite, and to me, he isn't even polite..."
Thinking back to his attitude during their time in high school, Yao Mingyue was grinding her teeth.
"So, to him, you are instead another kind of unique existence."
Liu Rushuang spoke while smiling.
Yao Mingyue was slightly startled. Recently, she definitely also felt his changed attitude towards her.
Sometimes, it was even quite sweet.
But this little bit of sweetness, instead highlighted the bitterness in his heart even more.
"I know, I understand him, so I also know that he truly won't leave her now…"
Yao Mingyue had never thought about leaving him. But if Xu Musen and An Nuannuan were always together, what would she be then?
"So, have you decided to give up?" Liu Rushuang said softly.
"No, I like him, no matter what, I've liked him for so long, but he has never properly felt my love. It's not any childhood sweetheart or neighbor's sister story, but rather, he's the youth in whom I have a love never reciprocated…"
"That's right, since you understand that liking someone has nothing to do with titles, why bother about what his title is?"
Liu Rushuang revealed a smile: "I know, our thoughts are not right, but we're not living our lives for someone else to watch. There are always some people you would drop everything to love, just like... I love you."
Liu Rushuang held her daughter tightly, her eyes full of affection and pity.
She knew advising her daughter to give up would hurt her for a lifetime, but letting her try, at the very least, might yield something.
Yao Mingyue's heart quivered: "Mom..."
Liu Rushuang also silently thought for a moment, then finally spoke again: "Baby, if, I say if, Xiao Sen and Nuannuan continue to be together and don't break up, and you're not willing to give up, then there's only one way..."
Yao Mingyue looked at her mother; she already had a vague answer in her mind.
But, biting her lip tightly, she refused to think about this option.
Liu Rushuang looked out the window; tonight's moon was very bright.
She whispered softly: "Baby, look at the sky. During the day, there's warm sunlight, at night, a bright moon. If you really can't monopolize the entire sky, at least, you'd still have half of it…"
Yao Mingyue shuddered, she had never considered this possibility, but as she looked up at the bright moon outside the window...
That moon seemed to envelop everything in a hazy glow, like a heady red wine, causing Yao Mingyue's mind to swirl with confusion...
