After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"Yeah, I got it."

Yao Mingyue blushed, currently held in Xu Musen's arms, feeling that her courage wasn't as great at the moment, but her heart felt very reassured.

"Then let's head off now."

Xu Musen carried her downstairs, and Yao Mingyue leaned against him, occasionally looking up at him.

In this familiar stairwell, they shared countless memories.

"Xu Musen, you're going to be late for school, get up!"

"Ming Yue, wait for me, eh, you bought me the bread?"

"Hmph, it's leftover from yesterday. Forget it if you're not going to eat."

"Ha-ha, it clearly has today's label though."

"Xu Musen, I'm so tired today, I don't want to go upstairs, carry me..."

From childhood to adulthood, this place held too many memories.

The scenes from her memories flashed before Yao Mingyue's eyes. She gently covered her chest, feeling her heart beating, not knowing if days like these could continue in the future.

Did she still have the chance to stay by his side and see him grow old...

Yao Mingyue absorbed the pace of her heartbeat. This time, she must... even if there was only a fifty percent chance, she was determined to take the risk.

...

Airport.

Xu Musen saw An Nuannuan, and to his surprise, Aunt Xiang had also come along.

"Nuannuan!"

Xu Musen called out, holding up a sign with her name on it, very eye-catching.

An Nuannuan spotted him instantly. In the talent of finding Xu Musen, she was in no way inferior to Yao Mingyue.

Days of missing him felt long and yearned-for by a couple deeply in love.

She lightly lifted the hem of her dress, her big eyes unable to hide the longing and joy as she ran and jumped into his arms.

Xu Musen hugged her and gently twirled, sniffing the familiar baby scent on her.

An Nuannuan looked up, her sparkling eyes speaking of her longing, "Xu Musen, I missed you so much."

An Nuannuan loved to call out Xu Musen by his full name, as if she hadn't done it enough before.

"How much did you miss me?"

Xu Musen cradled her cheeks, relishing the familiar, soft touch.

"I missed you higher than the plane was flying just now!"

An Nuannuan giggled, her cute expression made Xu Musen lean down to kiss her.

"There are people at home who miss you too."

"Yeah, yeah, hee-hee..."

An Nuannuan nodded and smiled, soon to meet his parents, feeling a bit nervous but more excited.

Today was truly the first time visiting his home to meet the parents.

And after meeting the parents, it's the engagement, the wedding, and then babies, hee-hee-hee...

"Aunt Xiang, it was kind of you to make the trip, come home with us for dinner."

Xu Musen turned and spoke to Aunt Xiang, who was smiling like an aunt on the side, watching them.

"I was just responsible for safely bringing Nuannuan here, so now that she is with you, I'm not worried anymore. I won't disturb your family dinner; I already have the return ticket. I'll wait for you back in Huhai."

Aunt Xiang smiled, waved her hand, and turned back into the airport.

Holding An Nuannuan's hand, Xu Musen shook his head with a smile, "Then next time we will invite Aunt Xiang to dinner. Let's go home."

"Okay!"

Xu Musen took An Nuannuan to the parking lot, where Yao Mingyue was sitting in the back seat.

Xu Musen paused. Just before, Yao Mingyue had been in the passenger seat. It seemed she had moved to the back little by little.

"Nuannuan, welcome back to Zheng City!"

Yao Mingyue's gaze met An Nuannuan's as she offered a smile like that of an old friend reunited.

"Yeah, thanks for picking me up."

An Nuannuan returned the smile, their relationship seemingly achieving a strange equilibrium.

Xu Musen felt like the odd one out.

"What are you two chatting about without asking me?"

Yao Mingyue glanced at him, "Little Xu, remember to drive well later, or you're fired."

An Nuannuan's lips also lifted slightly, "Getting fired also sounds delicious."

Okay, okay, you two are ganging up on me.

Driver Little Xu is on duty.

Bringing home two delicate... ladies!

An Nuannuan didn't sit in the front either but joined Yao Mingyue in the back, chatting back and forth.

Their relationship felt like it had become much better in an instant.

Arriving at the residential complex.

As usual, Xu Musen was expected to carry Yao Mingyue upstairs.

"I can go up on my own."

Yao Mingyue declined, preferring to ascend slowly using her crutches.

Xu Musen could tell she was putting on an act, and glanced at An Nuannuan.

An Nuannuan gave no particular signal, only looking at him, blinking her clear, wide eyes.

No answer meant do as you please, but later I will hold you accountable for making me jealous.

Alright.

If I have to suffer the consequences, so be it. The pig whip and kidneys I bought yesterday haven't been eaten yet. I'll sneak in a meal tonight and that will surely keep me going!

Xu Musen still crouched in front of Yao Mingyue, "Hurry up and get on, otherwise my mom will have my head if she sees you walking up."

Yao Mingyue and An Nuannuan exchanged looks.

"Yeah, it's dangerous to use crutches on the stairs. I used to ride on Xu Musen's back. He's experienced, right? Xu Musen."

An Nuannuan's voice was as soft as ever, but with the full name, didn't Xu Musen feel a bit of pressure?

Yao Mingyue could hear a hint of boasting in her tone.

This was part of their understanding with one another.

The events of a past life allowed them to sit together quietly.

But the jealousy that had to be eaten, and the small victories that had to be won, were not to be given up.
