After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

In the hospital room.

An Nuannuan opened the lunchbox, and the warm aroma of the food wafted out, not too greasy or oily, enticing the appetite.

Yao Mingyue looked at the prepared breakfast; evidently, some dishes seemed specially made for her.

Yao Mingyue is quite picky when it comes to food. Sometimes, she won't eat the pointed parts of lotus seeds, insists on splitting shrimp in the middle, and can discern how many grams of salt are in a bowl of rice.

It can be said that even a personal chef finds it hard to please her.

But Xu Musen managed to do very well, fulfilling nearly all her demands.

The weakness of her body made her lose appetite even more. During her hospital stay, sometimes she only had one meal a day, which she forced down just seeing her mother's worried eyes.

But looking at the food An Nuannuan brought and smelling the familiar aroma, she finally felt some hunger.

However, seeing the food prepared so early this morning meant...

They had already started living like an old couple, resembling post-marriage life.

"So many dishes, you must have gotten up before dawn to prepare them, right?"

Yao Mingyue looked at the five or six exquisite side dishes, many of which required painstaking effort to make.

"Yes, Musen said you're very picky with food, some ingredients were bought fresh from the market as early as five or six in the morning."

An Nuannuan nodded, speaking softly, though she was picky, there wasn't any grievance or sarcasm in her tone.

Yao Mingyue smiled slightly, watching An Nuannuan's gentle expression: "Why do I feel there's still a hint of resentment in your words?"

After all, now that they're engaged, her fiancé got up early to cook for another woman, if it were someone else, they might have flipped the table long ago.

"It's alright."

An Nuannuan arranged the food, still without much expression, finally sighed slightly with her delicate face: "It's just that whoever's husband feels for whom."

"..."

Yao Mingyue was momentarily speechless.

At this moment, she seemed like a little green tea trying to stoke the fire, only to be overwhelmed by the rightful main character's remark.

Wasn't this baring it all in front of her to boast that they've become legitimately, officially engaged?

"Forget it, I still can't win against you..."

Yao Mingyue snapped back, feeling somewhat used to being pissed and laughed.

An Nuannuan didn't pursue the victory, instead adjusted the bed angle to make Yao Mingyue more comfortably recline. Then she spooned some hot porridge, checked the temperature briefly, and brought it to Yao Mingyue's mouth.

Yao Mingyue was a bit dazed; this caring action was extraordinarily skilled, as if she had done it numerous times.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Yao Mingyue not open her mouth but rather stare at her in a daze, An Nuannuan asked.

"Nothing, I just didn't expect you to... be quite good at taking care of people."

Yao Mingyue was rather surprised; was this still the girl in her memory, who always acted cute around Xu Musen, and couldn't even eat or sleep without him?

"Being cared for a long time, it's like old ailments curing themselves." An Nuannuan's eyes moved slightly, speaking softly.

Yao Mingyue self-deprecatingly chuckled: "Better than me, I've been cared for by him for so long, it seems I've just been spoiled by him."

"He enjoys it too."

An Nuannuan slightly pressed her lips, picked up the spoon again, and brought it to her mouth.

Yao Mingyue opened her mouth and ate her first bite of food in days.

It was delicious.

The familiar taste, the mastery of heat and flavor, was definitely his handiwork.

Her stomach, which seemed ready to strike, finally longed to accept food, and An Nuannuan fed her small dishes with the hot porridge bit by bit.

"This dish..."

Yao Mingyue ate a small piece of pork rib, slightly raising her eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" An Nuannuan asked.

Yao Mingyue shook her head, looking at An Nuannuan: "This dish, it wasn't entirely made by him, was it?"

An Nuannuan paused slightly, nodded: "Yes, I added the seasoning for this dish. How did you know?"

"Because the taste has become somewhat sweet."

Yao Mingyue chewed carefully, then smiled: "If it were entirely his making, he wouldn't have missed knowing I don't like sweet things."

Yao Mingyue still had a little bit of "green tea" pride in her tone. After all, in the past life, Xu Musen's culinary skills were honed solely for her.

What Yao Mingyue dislikes, even a grain of salt, a pinch of MSG, or a dash of seasoning, Xu Musen wouldn't overdo it.

An Nuannuan looked at her, not showing any anger, rather she picked up a small rib, putting it in her mouth for a bite.

The sweet, braised sauce, salty and sweet.

"Can't help it, that's how he is, always wants to give everything to those he cares about."

An Nuannuan glanced at Yao Mingyue's chest, then smiled warmly.

"But well, as they say, marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. We're engaged now, so naturally, he'll follow my liking from now on... I'll slowly make his taste match mine..."

She casually raised her hand, and the diamond ring on her finger glimmered in the morning sunlight.

Her words remained gentle yet always confident.

Yao Mingyue was silent for a long time, the dazzling diamond ring on her finger strikingly glaring.

After a while, she bitterly smiled.

"An Nuannuan..."

Yao Mingyue leaned against the headboard, helplessly sighing and smiling: "Honestly, I've always particularly disliked this about you; you seem never to get angry, always looking down on us from above. I'd really like to see you genuinely angry for once, but no matter how much I provoke you, you just say things matter-of-factly, leaving me emotionally unsettled. In the end, I feel like a jumping clown..."
