After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

The plane skimmed across the sky.

As the familiar land returned to sight, Yao Mingyue lay by the plane's window, gazing at the gradually familiar terrain before her.

"Finally back…"

She murmured wistfully. Although she had spent more than a month abroad, where life was comfortable, there was always a sort of intangible, fleeting feeling.

Only by truly returning to the land where she was born could she experience that indescribable sense of security.

Xu Musen sat up from the lounge chair. Although the first-class seat was comfortable, the plane inevitably bumped, and he didn't sleep soundly. He gently stretched his body and looked at Yao Mingyue, who was leaning by the window with eyes full of anticipation, like a little girl eager for the start of a journey.

"We're almost there, where do you want to go first?"

Xu Musen also leaned towards the window with her, looking out over her head.

"Let me think…" Yao Mingyue's gaze followed the familiar places beneath the plane. She clearly had thought she would have to visit plenty of places upon returning.

But after getting back, she suddenly realized there weren't as many must-see places as she thought.

And where should she go first among the few must-go places?

"You're having decision-making anxiety again, aren't you?"

Xu Musen guessed as he observed her conflicted little expression.

Yao Mingyue tutted, shaking her head: "Then I might as well not think about it. Anyway, in the next few days, whatever I want to do is what we'll do, you just have to listen to me."

"Why do I have to listen to you?"

"Nuannuan said you should listen to me."

"I also promised Aunt Liu to keep an eye on you so you wouldn't cause trouble."

"Tch, so who are you listening to, Nuannuan or my mom?"

Yao Mingyue looked up at him, thinking this guy indeed was a "white-eyed wolf" who marries a wife and forgets his mother.

Xu Musen wasn't one to be outdone, looking back at her: "Your mom."

"???"

Yao Mingyue ground her little canines: "Xu Musen! Are you cursing me in a roundabout way?"

Xu Musen laughed heartily, flicking her little nose: "Alright, I can listen to you the next couple of days, but you can't make any excessive requests, got it?"

Yao Mingyue wrinkled her nose, feeling like her little scheme had been uncovered, huffing defiantly: "I'm so good, what excessive demands could I possibly make…"

But as she was talking, Xu Musen's semi-smiling face made her earlobes turn slightly red: "Ignoring you!"

...

The plane landed.

The familiar city, only here did the air seem to carry a sweet aroma.

"Hey, Mom, we've arrived in Zheng City. Alright, alright, I know, I'll take care of myself…"

Yao Mingyue obediently called Liu Rushuang as soon as she got off the plane, and on the other end, Mother Xu and Father Xu kept reminding her: "After such a long flight, rest well. If there's anything, have Musen handle it, he wouldn't dare disobey."

"Mm-hmm, got it, Auntie Xie. Rest assured, Uncle Xu and you, you both should rest early too."

She handed the phone to Xu Musen. As soon as Xu Musen answered, his mother's voice came through: "Musen, now that Mingyue's health is stable, but with only ten days until her surgery, you must keep a close eye on her, make sure nothing happens, understand?"

"Don't worry."

Xu Musen replied.

Mother Xu's voice softened a bit: "Also… later, call Nuannuan privately."

"Okay."

Xu Musen smiled and replied, and then Liu Rushuang's voice came on the line: "Xiao Sen, this girl Mingyue is a bit headstrong. Please take good care of her these two days. If she dares get into trouble, tell me, and I'll spank her when I get back!"

Xu Musen looked down at Yao Mingyue, who was standing with her hands on her hips, staring at him.

It was already afternoon, and the golden sunlight fell delicately on her tall figure. Her ears, tinged golden by the sun, and her gleaming canines seemed to threaten him that if he dared to talk nonsense, she'd give him a bite.

Xu Musen laughed, giving her head a gentle squeeze: "Don't worry, she's actually quite well-behaved."

Only then did Yao Mingyue snort contentedly. At this moment, she seemed like a grumpy yet easily appeased little cat.

He hung up the phone and handed the mobile back to Yao Mingyue.

Xu Musen took out his own phone and called An Nuannuan.

"Ring ring… Sorry, the number you are dialing is temporarily unattended…"

Looking at the unreachable phone, Xu Musen wondered if the cross-border signal was poor and considered calling again.

"No need to call, Nuannuan just doesn't want to talk to you right now."

Yao Mingyue said with a sly smile.

"How do you know?" Xu Musen looked at her.

Yao Mingyue directly showed him her phone, displaying her chat history with An Nuannuan from a moment ago.

"Nuannuan, we've arrived in Zheng City."

"Mm, I heard."

"It's osmanthus flower season now, I'll bring you some osmanthus cake when I return. I remember there's an old shop that makes it particularly tasty."

"Alright. (Rabbit nodding)"

"Mm-hmm, thank you Nuannuan, for agreeing to my reckless request."

After this sentence, An Nuannuan's response remained succinct.

"I'll wait for you to return. If he misbehaves, just hit him."

"Got it, haha (laugh crying)~"

Looking at the long string of chat history, Xu Musen was stunned for a while, almost able to visualize An Nuannuan's slightly pouting lips from her last message.

He looked down at the unreachable call in his hand.

Alright, looks like I'll be waiting to kneel on a washboard when I get back.

Xu Musen shook his head with a laugh, looking at the already dusky evening scenery outside. Throughout this journey, he pondered over where it would be best to accompany Yao Mingyue.

But at this moment, arriving in this familiar city, a city that belonged to just the two of them.

In an instant, all thoughts melted into just two words.
