After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Liu Rushuang couldn't help laughing out loud as she watched her daughter in that state. She took off her coat, then her high heels, swapped them for slippers, and finally after washing her hands, she took her seat.

The private ward was very spacious.

But hospitals always feel a bit desolate, even with people coming and going.

The three of them ate together and it finally felt a bit like home.

Yao Mingyue hadn't told Xu Musen's parents about her injury.

Anyway, by the New Year, Yao Mingyue would have mostly recovered; telling them now would only cause unnecessary worry.

Yao Mingyue took the opportunity to bring up the subject of her discharge from the hospital.

"You've only been here for a month, you'd still be lying down at home. It's a bit more convenient in the hospital."

Liu Rushuang was still a little worried.

"But I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore, I don't like it here, and I don't have any issues now. Recuperating anywhere would be the same, and besides, Mom, you have to come here every day to take care of me. Look, you've lost weight recently…"

Yao Mingyue's gaze wandered around the private ward where she had stayed for a month.

The ward was large and also had a bed for an attendant.

These days, no matter how busy Liu Rushuang was, she would always come in the evening to accompany Yao Mingyue to sleep.

Yao Mingyue wasn't afraid of heaven or earth, but she had some psychological trauma regarding hospitals.

Yao Mingyue really felt sorry for her mother; the one who had been most worried and worn out during this time was her mother.

"Silly girl, you are my only daughter. No matter how hard or tiring it is, I am willing to do it. Besides, if I don't take care of you, who will? My poor child…"

Liu Rushuang moved affectionately, stroking her daughter's head, but her gaze quietly shifted to Xu Musen.

Xu Musen silently watched the mother-daughter duo perform their double act. He sighed internally, but still cooperated in playing his part, "Well… my house is quite close to school, so how about Ming Yue stays at my place for a bit, since we've got plenty of rooms anyway."

"That would be too much trouble… But since you've mentioned it..."

"Alright then!" said both mother and daughter in unison.

They had spoken almost at the same time.

Xu Musen smiled and shook his head.

After dinner, Xu Musen went to discuss the discharge with the attending physician.

Back in the ward.

Yao Mingyue, looking at her mother getting ready to change into her pajamas, suddenly spoke, "Mom, are… are you going to stay here tonight?"

"If I'm not staying here, where would I? Aren't you scared to be alone at night?"

"No, actually, I'm not that scared."

Yao Mingyue was a little coy.

Liu Rushuang silently turned around to look at her only precious daughter.

"Heh, you tell me, are you planning to have someone else keep you company tonight?"

"I…just feel sorry for you, Mom. Look how long you haven't had a good rest at home, the showers here aren't comfortable, and you don't have enough clothes to change into. Since I'm about to be discharged anyway, why don't you go home and rest tonight?"

Yao Mingyue's cheeks turned red, and before she could finish, Liu Rushuang came over and affectionately pinched her cheek, playfully scolding her, "You, you, look at you with no guts at all, making your mother moved for nothing. I thought you were being filial, but it turns out you're afraid I'll get in the way of your romance, my great filial daughter!"

Liu Rushuang could clearly see her daughter's intentions: "Fine, I do want to go home and take a proper bath anyway. But you need to watch out, your body hasn't fully recovered yet, you must… be careful."

Yao Mingyue's cheeks flushed with a bit of guilt, "Mom, we're just going to talk. Xu Musen wouldn't do anything, don't worry."

"I'm worried about what you'll do to Xiao Sen!"

Liu Rushuang poked her daughter's forehead.

Yao Mingyue's face turned red, but she protested, "Would I do such a thing?"

"You wouldn't?"

"I… Ah, stop nagging me…"

Yao Mingyue hugged a pillow and turned away, ignoring her.

Liu Rushuang couldn't help but chuckle. The silly girl, she prepared to pack her clothes and take them home.

"Mom." Yao Mingyue suddenly called out to her.

"What? Missing your mother again?" Liu Rushuang teased her.

"No, it's just… could you take the quilt with you too?"

Yao Mingyue blushed and pointed at the quilt on her attendant bed.

Liu Rushuang: ...

She silently looked at her daughter. So you want to take the quilt away, and then Xiao Sen will have to share a bed with you tonight?

And you say you won't lay a finger on him?

...

By the time Xu Musen returned, the discharge had already been arranged, and they could leave after completing the paperwork tomorrow.

"Where's Mom?"

Xu Musen came back to the ward and noticed Liu Rushuang was gone, and even the quilt was taken.

"My mom… she suddenly remembered she left the gas on at home, so she went back to rest for the night."

Yao Mingyue lied without batting an eye.

But, with Xu Musen's understanding of her, if he believed that, he must be grown on coal gas!

Nevertheless, seeing Yao Mingyue looking sly yet expectant, Xu Musen didn't expose her lie.

After all, Nuannuan wasn't coming home tonight as she was staying at her grandparents' place, so spending the night here with her wouldn't be too bad. Plus, they could leave early tomorrow to complete the discharge process without the need to run back and forth.

"So, for tonight you…"

"Don't pretend, I'll stay here with you tonight."

Xu Musen blurted out, recalling in the past how he hid his awareness of her previous life. Now that they were being honest with each other.

"Hehe, that's right, we're like an old couple after all."

Yao Mingyue lay on the bed edge, watching Xu Musen, and suddenly the cold ward seemed to have a bit of a feel of home.

No, more accurately, wherever he was, there was the feeling of home.

"Why do I get the feeling you're becoming more and more like Nuannuan?"
