After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

```

"I'm afraid you're working too hard, but according to the doctor, at most, it'll be just over half a month before you can switch from a wheelchair to crutches, and then it'll be much more convenient. There's no need to rush."

Aunt Xiang went over, took a handkerchief, and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, her tone also filled with relief.

Having been bound to a wheelchair for so many years, she could finally begin to walk slowly.

An Nuannuan shook her head as thoughts of Xu Musen came to her mind.

And the things he had said to her that day.

An Nuannuan's large eyes conveyed a hint of emotion, "I'm just afraid he can't wait..."

"What?"

Aunt Xiang didn't hear her clearly.

"It's nothing, I'll just walk another round and that'll be fine..."

An Nuannuan continued to walk forward, while Aunt Xiang watched, even though she hadn't heard what Nuannuan had just said.

It was definitely something related to Xu Musen.

The elder folks at home would now and then mention something during meals every day.

Ever since An Nuannuan had interactions with Xu Musen, she had clearly become more cheerful, more determined in everything she did, and more willing to engage with the outside world.

This was something the family had always hoped to see.

Their only concern now was that Nuannuan and him were together every day at school, and it was very easy for young people of this age to develop feelings for each other.

It wasn't that they were dissatisfied with the young man, Xu Musen.

At their stage, they didn't care much about the boy's family background anymore.

As long as he had good character and was responsible for Nuannuan, that was enough.

But their sole worry was that Nuannuan had never had contact with boys before.

Did she really know how to develop a romantic relationship with a boy in the right way?

"Nuannuan, I also want to ask you, you and Xu Musen now... that is, has he ever said anything to you that went beyond just being friends?"

Aunt Xiang felt a bit unsure how to ask, like it was the first time asking a girl in the family if she was in love too early.

Words that went beyond friendship...

An Nuannuan remembered what Xu Musen had sent to her a few days ago.

Actually, my mom is missing a daughter-in-law... She felt her ears go soft.

"There's nothing like that..."

Her heart felt guilty.

Aunt Xiang, watching An Nuannuan's expression, actually had some guesses in her heart.

She smiled a little and again gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with the handkerchief.

"Your grandparents actually like him too, they don't oppose you two being together, but they're just worried you might be taken advantage of, given how pretty our Nuannuan is.

But if he initiates any conversation about things beyond friendship, you must talk to the family first, alright?"

"Oh..."

An Nuannuan nodded her head; if he initiated... But it seemed he rarely ever initiated anything.

If he wouldn't initiate, what if she was the one to do it?

An Nuannuan felt her mind was filled with some inexplicable thoughts, and her face flushed.

Oh well, better just continue with the rehabilitation exercises.

...

The National Day holiday was half over.

Liu Rushuang had also returned.

The two families were eating together, the atmosphere seeming increasingly harmonious.

During the meal, Yao Mingyue even proficiently served food to Xu Musen, or picked out things like green onions for him.

Xu Musen accepted naturally, without the slight aversion he had shown a few months ago.

It seems things were progressing pretty well.

Nighttime.

Inside the villa's bathhouse.

Yao Mingyue was soaking in the bath, lifting her own legs that looked even more rosy after being immersed in water, thinking of the time earlier that day Xu Musen had helped her wipe her feet.

Every single touch made her feel a little tingling sensation.

Hmph, giving him such a treat and he doesn't want it, she won't let him have it in the future!

Click, click...

The door was pushed open, and Liu Rushuang also wrapped in a bath towel walked in.

"Why keep your leg so high, admiring yourself?"

Liu Rushuang teased as she walked over, looking at her daughter showing off her long legs.

She even pinched her small foot casually.

"It's great to be young, such tender skin, even your little feet are smoother than some people's hands. I've brought back some foot masks, I'll use some on you later. Sigh, I just don't know which little rascal will benefit from this in the future."

Liu Rushuang said with a giggling tone.

Yao Mingyue let out a sound, "Mom..."

```

```

Immediately, she drew her little feet back.

"What's wrong? Mom can't even touch you now? Are you saving it all for your Brother Musen?"

Liu Rushuang covered her mouth and snickered.

Yao Mingyue's ears reddened: "Mom, can you be serious for once?"

"Am I not telling the truth? Lately, you two seem to have made up again, haven't you?"

Liu Rushuang sat by the poolside and started to inquire.

"Who made up with him, that dead straight guy..."

Yao Mingyue huffed.

"Little Miss Proud, girls these days can't afford to be too reserved. Being too proud will only hurt you in the end. When it's time to take initiative, do so. When a girl chases a boy, it's only a veil apart..."

Liu Rushuang also slowly got into the bath, comfortably leaning to one side, and began to impart her wisdom.

Yao Mingyue listened, but inside she reluctantly muttered.

I'm already throwing myself at him, and he just won't bite, what can I do.

"I think he's just a steel mesh, tough and stinky."

Yao Mingyue pouted a bit.

Liu Rushuang chuckled and ruffled her daughter's hair: "You know, if you'd acted sooner you wouldn't be having such a hard time now, right?"

Yao Mingyue didn't speak, just pouted more intensely.

Liu Rushuang looked at her precious daughter, knowing full well that since that night six years ago,

Ming Yue had been troubled deep down, her smile had faded, she had virtually no friends, and her personality had changed from being lively and cheerful to cold and unapproachable.

She rarely showed her mother a sincere smile either.

Only when Xu Musen was by her side did she seem a bit more at ease.

But one could still sense the emptiness in her heart.

In recent times, however,

Xu Musen had undergone a significant change in personality, and problems seemed to have arisen between the two.

During this period, Yao Mingyue behaved just like those girls experiencing their first heartbreak.

She got angry, enraged, sad, jealous, sullen, and also learned to give and take initiative.

That was the lively and cheerful Ming Yue of the past, with her own little temper and character.

Liu Rushuang stroked her daughter's head and smiled: "Don't worry, Musen has always liked you. It's just that there seems to be an obstacle he can't overcome. Once it's gone, you two are still the most suitable pair.

And you know, this jealous, angry, proactive, and giving Ming Yue is surely the Sister Mingyue that Xiaosen likes most."

Liu Rushuang gently embraced her daughter's shoulder, her tone full of reassurance: "And besides, Mom is very happy to see how you've changed. This is the Ming Yue I remember."

Yao Mingyue thought it over for a long time...

Indeed, recently, even though Xu Musen seemed to be keeping distance,

Yao Mingyue felt a sense of fulfillment that she had never felt before, beginning to understand what Musen had said.

They're both living, breathing people. How can one be considered complete without experiencing the myriad taste of life?

During this time, she experienced it.

Jealousy, heartache, anger, loss, as well as joy and being moved...

Her heart, which had been closed off for so long, was finally filling up with a sense of fulfillment and reality.

It seemed like he was further away from her, but Yao Mingyue felt that they were closer than before, able to gain even more...

The corners of Yao Mingyue's mouth curled up slightly, though she felt a bit suffocated.

Turning her head, she looked at her mother, her gaze slowly drifting over the hills.

"..."

The young girl pursed her lips.

"Mom, am I really your biological child?"

"?"

Liu Rushuang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and poked her daughter's head: "Silly girl, what are you thinking about? You're my only daughter; how could I get that wrong? Look at your eyes, aren't they just like mine?"

Liu Rushuang blinked her own eyes, the same phoenix eyes brimming with an innate elegance and charm.

Yao Mingyue's gaze held a hint of grievance.

Following her daughter's gaze, Liu Rushuang looked down and then burst out laughing.

"Girl, with your mom's genes, what do you have to worry about? Did Xiaosen reject you?"

"Why would he reject me... I'm just idly asking."

Yao Mingyue, having hit a nerve, silently turned away, out of sight, out of mind, no wounded pride.

Liu Rushuang, however, looked at her daughter's retreating back, her lips curling into a smile, and stretched out her guilty hands.

"Xiaoyue, actually, Mom has her own invented martial art called "Return My Plumpness Punch"; let me show you!"

"I don't want it!"

"Come on, let Mom have a look!"

In the bathroom, mother and daughter were having a lively and noisy time.

It had been a very long time since they had played and laughed with their hearts wide open.
