After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Even at home, they can't touch their chopsticks until the elders do, and they must announce when they're done eating before leaving the table...

But here, surrounded by the happy chatter of children and adults cheerfully accompanying them.

She quite liked this atmosphere.

She looked up at Xu Musen, and although this guy always tricked her, anything he promised, he'd get done.

When she first started her business, there were others who wanted to partner with her, all with ulterior motives.

Some wanted to get close to her, others wanted to take the chance to curry favor with her family.

Only Xu Musen actually treated her like an entrepreneur and as a friend too.

Even though she always harbored some resentment toward him, deep down, Zhu Yulan didn't reject him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to come eat KFC with him.

Plus, playfully bickering with him was actually quite fun.

It was like the good girl was suddenly enticed by a wild and unrestrained lifestyle outside...

Even thinking that in the future it would be fine to occasionally hang out in places like this to eat, it was really relaxing.

"Today's meal, is Ms. Zhu satisfied?"

Xu Musen noted that her mood seemed pretty good.

"So-so, but do you think you can get rid of me with just a meal at KFC? Isn't that a bit too casual?"

Zhu Yulan replied nonchalantly, but her tone clearly hinted at something else.

Xu Musen smiled knowingly, "Then how about I treat you to a better meal next time we have the chance?"

"That's what you said, I didn't force you."

"Of course, I have to cherish the chance to flatter Ms. Zhu."

Xu Musen played along with her remark.

Zhu Yulan's delicate face slightly flushed; the unspoken understanding between them made her give him a slight glare in the end.

But there was a hint of girlish playfulness in that glare.

"Pack one more for me. I want to bring it to Xiao Tao... and also, get two more chicken wings, and a drumstick."

"No problem."

Xu Musen stood up and conveniently walked to the counter.

Zhu Yulan was about to finish off the last chicken wing when she looked at her fingers smeared with sauce and hesitated.

Seeing Xu Musen still at the counter, she turned her head to check if anyone was looking, then lifted her fingers to her mouth...

The tender lips gently enveloped her slender, pale fingers, the remaining sauce like a final reward for a food enthusiast.

The aromatic sauce and the scent of her fingers lightly blended together—it was quite flavorful indeed.

Slurp, slurp~

Finding the action somewhat embarrassing, Zhu Yulan was about to withdraw her fingers.

Suddenly, a voice came from nearby.

"Yu Lan, so you're here."

Zhu Yulan hurriedly pulled her fingers from her mouth, nearly choking in the process.

When she turned her head, she saw Huang Tianming dressed in a suit, smiling at her.

His gaze lingered on her shiny lips and moistened fingers, with a hint of admiring surprise in his eyes.

The icy princess of the Zhu Family also enjoyed KFC and even sucked on her fingers!

Experience more on empire

Surprisingly cute. Truly worthy of being a woman I, the dragon king... young master, have my eyes on!

Huang Tianming's smile grew even brighter.

Upon seeing who was there, Zhu Yulan's pleasant mood seemed to have collapsed in an instant.

And to be caught in such an embarrassing moment, especially by someone with such a detestable grin, made her even more irritated.

"What are you doing here?"

Her tone was cold, not at all like someone talking to a childhood friend they grew up with.

Moreover, she had always ignored him; how did he know she was here?

"We are childhood friends, maybe it's just our special connection," Huang Tianming replied with an unfazed affectionate smile.

"It's been a while, Yu Lan."

Huang Tianming, admittedly handsome in his expensive suit and with the air of a wealthy young heir, particularly with the Lamborghini car keys at his waist, drew the attention of many.

"Don't call me that; we're not that close."

Zhu Yulan frowned, her eyes openly displaying her disgust and coldness.

Amidst the murmurs of a few young onlookers:

"Jeez, this guy getting snubbed straight away even after showing up in a Lambo to woo a girl."

"That girl was holding a Ferrari key earlier; she must be a rich woman who's not short on money."

"Tsk tsk tsk, rich folks sure are funny, skipping fancy restaurants to eat KFC."

"For them, KFC might just be a whim, but for us, it's the most expensive thing we can afford."

"Come on! Do you have to put it so bluntly?"

...

Huang Tianming, watching Zhu Yulan meticulously wiping her hands, indifferent to him,

felt a bit irritated, though he kept smiling: "Yu Lan, I know I've made some mistakes in the past, but I've changed. Can you give me another chance?"

"What you are doesn't concern me. At most, we're just neighbors. Don't act like we used to be close, okay?"

As Zhu Yulan finished wiping her hands, she frowned deeper upon hearing his words.
