After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

``` Now that I think about it, it could only have a contrary effect. "Mom, you should rest," "No, I still have other methods..." Liu Rushuang immediately started thinking of other brilliant ideas. Yao Mingyue helplessly spoke up. "Anyway, drugging him is not an option," "Then that's it," "..." Yao Mingyue looked at her mother, and after a moment of silent mutual gaze, they both burst out laughing. Liu Rushuang looked at her daughter, whose mood had finally eased, and affectionately rubbed her head, "My baby has finally grown up." When a person understands that liking someone means not just possessing them but taking on more responsibility, they have really learned how to love someone. Yao Mingyue looked at her mother, also recalling how in her past life she really had been, even getting jealous over her own mom, which, thinking back now, was truly undeserving of her mother. She hugged her mom again, "Mom, thank you..." "You girl, how come you're suddenly so sensible today?" Liu Rushuang's nose tingled with emotion. Yao Mingyue sighed and said, "Mom, you'll understand when you reach my age." Liu Rushuang: ??? "You little brat, I might as well just drug you after all!" "You wouldn't bear to~" Mother and daughter had a long overdue heart-to-heart talk throughout the night. Meanwhile, in the next room. Father Xu and Mother Xu were also excited and joyful today, pacing back and forth in the room, and occasionally gazing out the window at the skyscrapers. "My son is really accomplished, a house in Huhai, and he really went and bought it." Mother Xu was delighted as she looked around the room; although it was a guest room with few decorative items, she couldn't stop admiring it. Father Xu laughed and said, "When he's naughty, he's my son, but now he's your son again?" "Whose son is he if not mine, since I gave birth to him?" Mother Xu felt a bit embarrassed, but still she claimed her right proudly. Father Xu cheerfully continued, "Our son is also lucky, Nuannuan seems like a good girl, and both families have met. Maybe we can let the two kids get married after graduation." "Yes, everything is good, but..." Mother Xu nodded in agreement but then let out a sigh for no apparent reason. "What do we do about Mingyue?" Father Xu also fell silent for a while when Yao Mingyue was mentioned. He felt a bit indebted to her. If it hadn't been for Old Yao risking his life to save him, he might have been the one to go instead. If it were possible, he would naturally hope that Xu Musen and she could be together and take care of each other for life. That way, when his day came, he could face Old Yao with a clear conscience. But now that the two kids suddenly reached this point, Father Xu couldn't force his son to repay this debt on his behalf, and all he could do was sigh helplessly. "Mingyue has a tough lot, but we can't interfere in young people's affairs, and besides, Nuannuan really cares for Musen. It's like choosing between one's palms and the backs of one's hands." "Palms or backs of the hands..." Mother Xu repeated the phrase, then remembered how during dinner, Yao Mingyue and An Nuannuan had sat on either side of Xu Musen, unexpectedly harmonious. She went on a wild guess, "Old Xu, you think if this were in the old days, having two girls in the family would be quite normal..." Father Xu glared fiercely, looking at his wife, "What are you trying to say?" "I'm not really trying to say anything, just that... Look, Mingyue still can't let go of Musen, after all those years of feelings between them, and the two of them having liked each other..." "Hold on a second." Father Xu paused, then said, "Our son is already someone with a girlfriend now, and although I can't bear to let Mingyue down, thinking like this will only hold her back." Mother Xu earnestly replied. ``` "I know, but you're also aware of how stubborn Yao Mingyue can be. What if Mingyue never settles down? Wouldn't it be delaying someone's life?" Father Xu was dumbstruck, and he had to admit, there was some truth in that… "No, what do you mean by all of this? Are you supporting your son…" Father Xu blurted out, then fell silent. "I'm just talking about a possibility in the future; Mingyue is just so stubborn that she might really end up not getting married. If we passed away, how would we be able to explain it to Old Yao?" "That shouldn't be the case…" Father Xu murmured, but the volume of his voice faded as he spoke. Since he watched her grow up, he understood Yao Mingyue's temperament well. That child really might. "Then what do you suggest we do? Nuannuan is a good child too; we can't just let her down." Father Xu was also somewhat helpless, feeling caught between a rock and a hard place. Mother Xu was at a loss for words too, and finally, she clicked her tongue twice: "Men, once they have some capability, they start having issues with love. Just look at the great things your good son has done!" "??? Wait, now it's my son again?" Father Xu couldn't help but laugh out of frustration. "Yes, your son! Your son, your son!" ... At that moment, Xu Musen was holding An Nuannuan, who had just finished bathing, gently blowing dry her hair. An Nuannuan was humming some unknown little tunes happily, her entire being as joyous as if she'd just had candy. "You've been all smiles for quite a while now; what's got you so happy?" Xu Musen asked as he stroked her soft hair, smiling. An Nuannuan hummed in response: "I'm just happy." As she spoke, she pulled out two big red envelopes from the pocket of her pajamas and showed them to Xu Musen. These had been quietly slipped to An Nuannuan by Mother Xu earlier on, following Zheng City's custom for meeting fees to bring luck. "What's this? Is this Nuannuan's little gift rewarding me for my hardship? Then tonight, I have to serve you well as an adult~" Xu Musen adopted the posture of a coy maiden in the clutches of a wealthy magnate. An Nuannuan was no longer a little girl; she was fully aware of what he meant. Her cheeks flushed, but she lifted her bright eyes and said, "So tell me, how much will it cost to buy you, huh?" "Well, would you like to rent by month or by year?" Xu Musen teased, rubbing his cheek against hers. An Nuannuan, with sparkling eyes, cradled Xu Musen's cheeks, her voice sweet: "What if I want to rent you for a lifetime?" "That would be expensive." "How much? Name your price, I still have my secret stash." Xu Musen slowly held up a finger: "One hundred." "One hundred?" An Nuannuan pouted: "That's just the price of two or three milk teas." "Yes, but I'm charging this one hundred in installments. Every year on my birthday, you'll give me one dollar, and after a hundred years, I will be completely yours." An Nuannuan felt sweet to her core, yet she puffed her cheeks slightly: "Liar, even if we lived to be a hundred years old, that still leaves twenty dollars unpaid." Xu Musen smiled as he gazed into An Nuannuan's eyes, gently caressing her cheek, "No worries, those twenty missing years, you've already paid them." In a previous life, that foolish girl had silently loved him for many years. It must have been longer than those twenty years. There was a flicker in An Nuannuan's eyes, the grievances she had hidden away, possibly even from herself, were melting away like ice in the sun. An Nuannuan looked at Xu Musen, her eyes filled with emotions others could not comprehend. Yes, in the past, she had foolishly waited for so long, and even at the very end, she couldn't keep him… But this time, she finally could keep him by her side. An Nuannuan turned around, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her forehead against his, gazing deeply into his eyes that shimmered with a luminance beyond her years. "The principal is there, but I still want to charge interest…" As she spoke, Nalan's fragrance gently flitted across Xu Musen's face; she really liked, liked, liked him so much. This account, she wanted to settle it slowly with him for a lifetime~
