After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"Dong dong..."

Knocking on the door.

Xu Musen turned around, and at the doorway, Yao Mingyue's tall figure had already appeared.

"What's up?"

Xu Musen saw her and, after a brief pause, asked.

"Later my mom is inviting us to dinner, she asked me to tell you."

"You could've just sent a message, no need to run all the way here." Explore more adventures at empire

"Since someone doesn't like replying to my messages now, I had to pay a personal visit."

Yao Mingyue's lips curved upwards, her words retreat in advance, making Xu Musen, who now preferred carrot over stick, feel somewhat goose-bumpy.

"Alright, I'll still respond promptly to serious matters like this in the future."

Xu Musen cleared his throat and said to Zhao Lianmai, "You head back early too, there aren't many people today, you can close up shop earlier."

Zhao Lianmai looked at the two of them and simply nodded silently.

"Let's go."

Xu Musen walked out and Yao Mingyue naturally walked shoulder to shoulder with him.

The two of them walked on the campus road.

Yao Mingyue felt her mood was very good today, and while walking, she occasionally stepped on Xu Musen's shadow.

"Got any good news today?"

Xu Musen glanced at her.

"Getting to go home and see uncle and aunt, of course I'm happy."

Yao Mingyue laughed, her gaze meaningful as she looked at Xu Musen.

Back at home.

Now it was just the two of them, back to that place that belonged only to them.

At the campus gate, Liu Rushuang drove up in a Bentley and had already arrived.

"Xiaosen, Xiaoyue!"

Liu Rushuang got out of the car, she was always so smiley every time you saw her.

She hugged her daughter and then affectionately ruffled Xu Musen's hair.

"Come on, I'm taking you guys out for a feast."

Liu Rushuang, all smiles, had them get in the car and then drove off with a push of the accelerator.

Still the familiar riverside restaurant.

Even from the restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows, you could see the spot where Yao Mingyue had jumped into the river last time.

Liu Rushuang asked the two of them about their lives in school, like whether they were used to the living conditions, if the food was good, and if the academic pressure was too much, and so on.

Liu Rushuang was very busy, something Xu Musen knew all too well. To support a family and run several companies by herself, as a woman, was no easy feat.

But she also deeply cared for them. Xu Musen's family business in his past life was actually secretly invested in by Liu Rushuang all along; otherwise, it would have collapsed long ago.

It was just that in the end, they got swindled, which made Xu Musen's parents, already in their fifties, lose the will to start over.

Moreover, Liu Rushuang's initial thought was simple; have Xu Musen marry her daughter so that within the family, there wouldn't be any talk of not helping one another.

It was all within the family, and Xu Musen's parents could spend their old age at ease.

However, Liu Rushuang never expected that her daughter in her past life could be so sickly obsessed.

"I've heard about the incident at the school too, Xiaosen has really grown up, handling such a big matter so well in the end."

Liu Rushuang suddenly brought up the bubble tea shop incident from a few days ago.

"If it weren't for your help, the problem wouldn't have been solved so quickly, thank you, Aunt Liu."

Xu Musen knew that the day Yao Mingyue brought people to smash the storeroom at the school, it must have been people sent by Liu Rushuang to help.

"Don't thank me, just thank Xiaoyue. I wasn't in Hu Hai at the time, it was all Xiaoyue's doing."

Liu Rushuang cheerfully credited all the merit to Yao Mingyue.

At that moment, Yao Mingyue glanced at Xu Musen, not only did she not say anything, but she also peeled a shrimp and gently placed it on his plate.

"Thank you."

As Xu Musen spoke, although there wasn't much emotion in his voice, his tone was already much warmer compared to the times they had dined together before.

"Oh~ Xiaoyue, aren't you being a bit too biased? You can't just forget about mom because of Xiaosen, I haven't even had any shrimp you've peeled for me."

With a coquettish demeanor, Liu Rushuang cradled her sophisticated, mature cheeks, not looking out of place at all.

In fact, it could be said that she was even smoother at playing coy than Yao Mingyue, her own daughter.

Xu Musen secretly sighed to himself.

If Yao Mingyue had her mother's personality,

he would truly be happy to be wrapped around her finger...

Pah! He would never be wrapped around anyone's finger for his whole life!

Yao Mingyue's face also turned red, and she peeled a shrimp for her mother as well. Liu Rushuang immediately beamed with joy.

She felt a bit embarrassed for her mother, but she also had to admit,

her mother really took great care of herself, looking at most in her thirties and with a figure as ripe as a perfectly mature peach.

She silently looked at herself, although she also inherited good genes, she still felt a little underdeveloped.

Then she stealthily glanced at Xu Musen…

This guy definitely prefers bigger... more voluptuous, she wouldn't be surprised if he got sick of it all.

...

Liu Rushuang happily sipped some red wine, originally intending to have her secretary drive.

"Aunt Liu, how about I drive?"

"Do you know how?"

"Don't worry, I won't scratch your beloved car."

Of course, Liu Rushuang wasn't concerned about the car, watching Xu Musen eager to try.

Indeed, boys always love cars.

Xu Musen drove smoothly. In his previous life, he had driven this red Bentley often and was very proficient at it.

"Xiaosen couldn't have secretly practiced driving, could he?" Liu Rushuang remarked upon seeing that he seemed even more skilled than her.

Even though he had just gotten his driver's license not long ago.

"It might be a natural talent," Xu Musen smiled.

A car is like a big toy to a man, especially a luxury car, whether it's the engine or the leather seats, they are incomparable to ordinary cars worth one or two hundred thousand.

It's time to buy a car.

Whether it's for going out on business or taking a girl for a drive, or even just for a casual spin on his own, it's indispensable.

And Xu Musen's yearning look was noticed by Liu Rushuang.

She could already feel today that the relationship between Xu Musen and her daughter seemed to have improved quite a bit.

A man is like a charcoal briquette, as long as you can ignite a little spark, eventually, it will burst into flame completely.

Now, it was time for her to fan the flames even more.

Her gaze shifted slightly, as a better idea slowly took shape in her mind...
