After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Early in the morning.

Yao Mingyue, using a crutch, slowly made her way on one leg, arriving in Xu Musen's room.

Xu Musen was still sound asleep, snoring away.

Yao Mingyue sat on the bed, gazing down at Xu Musen's sleeping face, a bit mesmerized.

Ever since they started being intimate, Yao Mingyue would feel a mix of strange emotions whenever she saw Xu Musen.

Indescribable and vague, it just meant her heart would race upon seeing him, she would feel unintentionally light on her feet, and before going to sleep each night, she'd think about that bit for the next day…

These were emotions she had never experienced before.

Yao Mingyue had even taken to her phone last night to search "the various reactions a girl has when she sees a boy..."

The answer was, "You're in love."

Yao Mingyue gazed at Xu Musen, her possessiveness still hadn't faded, nor had her love for him diminished.

But now, mixed with her possessiveness was more shyness, anxiety, and sprouting affection, all intertwining.

After all, they were childhood sweethearts who had grown old together; their relationship had always naturally progressed.

It was only now, at this moment that the most crucial step of "falling in love" finally, belatedly happened.

However, it wasn't too late; only the ripest fruit is truly sweet.

Yao Mingyue watched Xu Musen's sleeping face, she slowly leaned down and gently kissed his cheek.

With flushed cheeks, this once casual kiss now made her heart flutter ceaselessly.

"Hehe..."

Yao Mingyue wasn't thinking about anything else at the moment, as if they were back in high school, when she often came to call him to go to school together.

She lightly teased Xu Musen's nose with her hair.

Today, they'd agreed to go out and have fun together.

"Nuannuan, stop messing around..." Xu Musen mumbled.

Yao Mingyue's hand paused, and the ever-present smile on her face halted as she grinded her little teeth.

This two-timing scoundrel of a man!

Yao Mingyue's phoenix eyes whirled as she thought of some mischievous trick. She stretched out her right leg and gently placed it on Xu Musen's nose.

And then she used her crystal grape-like dainty toes to block Xu Musen's nostrils.

Humph, let's see you call out the wrong name now, suffocate for all I care!

Yao Mingyue thought smugly to herself.

A few seconds later, Xu Musen acted as if he didn't feel a thing, not even breathing anymore.

"Hmm?"

Yao Mingyue gently lifted her foot, genuinely worried she might have suffocated him.

Before she could retract her foot, she suddenly felt her little toe being softly bitten.

"Ah..."

Looking down, Yao Mingyue saw Xu Musen muttering as if sleepwalking: "Oh, my Alpenliebe... let me taste what flavor this is."

As he spoke, Xu Musen also reached out and tickled the sole of her foot.

"Xu Musen! Let go..."

Yao Mingyue knew he had woken up, and she couldn't help but giggle from being tickled.

Xu Musen also opened his eyes at that moment, tickled the sole of her foot once more before satisfyingly letting go.

"A rose flavor, not bad at all."

"You're a pervert!"

Yao Mingyue glared at him. This guy was really getting worse, becoming perverted. When they had just married in their last life, getting him to kiss her would take him ages to work up the courage.

It took Yao Mingyue so long to slowly shape him into her ideal.

But now, Xu Musen eating someone's toes as if they were Alpenliebe!

This was all spoiled by An Nuannuan!

Right, maybe An Nuannuan was the real "dog trainer" expert!

"It was you who offered them in the first place."

"Just because I offered, you had to take it?"

"Bullshit, only a fool would pass up on a freebie!"

Xu Musen said with a smile, bickering with her early in the morning was quite pleasant.

"Scumbag!"

Yao Mingyue squinted at him, cheeks flushed but bared her teeth: "Since you're so eager, don't sleep too deeply, wait until I apply some lip balm to you..."

Xu Musen:「◦㉨◦」?

It was as if his face had been run over by a truck!!

...

Scared, Xu Musen quickly got up, after all, no one wakes up early in the morning to eat abalone.

Breakfast time.

Father Xu and Mother Xu watched as the couple emerged from their room one after the other, especially with Yao Mingyue's cheeks still slightly red.

This state… why did it seem so sweet first thing in the morning?

These two kids…

"Mom, I'm planning to expand my tea shop business to Zheng City and I'm giving you the position as the head of the main store there."

Xu Musen spoke at the breakfast table.

They had already opened a tea shop here previously, but at that time the brand hadn't yet taken off. Now, however, many cities had started to see franchisees popping up one after the other.

Why let the profits flow into others' fields?

It was best for the family to take over the main store position; his parents could just hang around the store whenever they felt like it.

"Are we really suitable? Your hard-earned business…"

Father Xu was still worried about dragging down his son.

"It's okay, now it's all systematized. You just have to be hands-off managers, I'll have someone who has been trained come over to take over," Xu Musen explained, having set up a training center in Huhai, following in the footsteps of the likes of McDonald's and KFC.

Auditors would come by from time to time to inspect the various franchise stores.

Moreover, it was a good time for Xu Musen to separate some of the veteran employees; the company was already at the tail end of its startup phase.

Many veteran employees had developed a sense of complacency and clout, and clumping together, they held a significant influence over the company, similar to how Zhu Yuanzhang cleaned house with Lan Yu and Li Shanchang after unifying his reign.
