After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Yao Mingyue's character would surely be very saddened by this.

After all, she has always been proud of her long legs.

Even if Yao Mingyue couldn't see, she could still feel that her legs were somewhat disobedient, and any slight exertion would cause bursts of pain!

She was lost in thought for a moment, and those weak eyes flashed with emotion at this time.

Xu Musen had already thought of how to comfort her.

"Hehe, that's great..."

But in the end, Yao Mingyue suddenly laughed out like she had lost her mind.

"Ming Yue, you... You're okay, right?"

Xu Musen couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, wondering if she had hit her head.

Who would call a leg fracture a good thing?

But Yao Mingyue looked up at him and said, "If that's the case, does that mean... I can be taken care of by you, just like Nuannuan was before?"

Xu Musen, looking into her weak yet hopeful eyes, felt a hint of bitterness in her words...

Xu Musen took a deep breath and said earnestly, "I won't take care of you the way I took care of her."

Yao Mingyue's lips immediately formed a hurt curve.

Xu Musen confirmed word by word, "Because I will take care of you in the way I take care of Xiao Mingyue, you are you, not to be treated in the way others are cared for."

Just a moment ago, Yao Mingyue's lips were turned down in displeasure, but now they seemed to bloom with a honey-sweet smile.

She was truly surprised by his answer, and she genuinely liked it.

Yet she still humphed softly.

"You wouldn't die if you spoke without catching your breath."

"I remember it was someone else who was panting while speaking just a moment ago," he teased.

Xu Musen smiled as he spoke, and the two of them looked at each other for a good while.

Xu Musen held her hand and asked quietly, "When did you start to remember... these things?"

Yao Mingyue knew what he was referring to, and at this point, the two of them were finally being honest with each other.

"Probably, since the last time I fell into the lake... but I could only recall bits and pieces vaguely, and I had always thought it might just be a dream," she said.

Yao Mingyue spoke slowly, looking at Xu Musen with a smile on her face, "Even if it were a dream, it's better that way, after all, it was a nightmare. I am actually quite relieved it's me lying here; I feel a bit better about it..."

Xu Musen knew what she meant, and he held Yao Mingyue's trembling hand, "Sometimes I also don't know whether all this is just a dream, but even if those events were real, I saved you because I wanted to, and you don't owe me anything."

Yao Mingyue's eyes flickered as she retorted, "Then the way you took care of me since childhood, was it because you owed me something?"

"Of course not, because I am your..."

"Because I am your little Qing Mei, because I am your Sister Mingyue... but are these really reasons for you to risk your life to save me?"

Yao Mingyue laughed: "You don't have to argue, it's fundamentally because you like me."

Xu Musen laughed and shook his head, "It's also because, back then... we were husband and wife, right?"

Husband and wife.

This title made Yao Mingyue feel bewildered for a while, and finally she humphed, "Some people said they wanted a divorce from me, right?"

"It didn't go through, did it?"

Xu Musen had no intention of bringing up the matter of her drugging him.

But Yao Mingyue naturally knew, she murmured softly, yet her eyes gradually brightened: "That's right, we aren't divorced yet… So, do we still count as a legally married couple now?"

Xu Musen watched her gleaming eyes and laughed as he gently flicked her forehead: "The emperor's saber of the former dynasty cannot cut down the officials of the current one."

"I don't care, I'm already married to you, I've already been ruined by you, if you don't want me, I can't marry anyone else!"

Xu Musen watched her throwing a tantrum, yet he felt an unprecedented calmness in his heart.

She has a difficult personality, with many flaws.

But she is the most special one under this sky, irreplaceable by anyone else.

Xu Musen held her hand, his gaze tender and resolute: "I won't abandon you, even without that marriage certificate, we won't be apart in the future."

Yao Mingyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, perhaps because Xu Musen's earnest gaze was a bit overpowering.

She even felt that her body wasn't in so much pain anymore; she snuggled deeper into the blankets: "Then do you… still dislike me?"

Her voice was very soft.

Yao Mingyue is a very proud girl, and also an extremely sensitive person.

For her, having Xu Musen bloodied and lying in her arms, declaring he never wanted to live off her again, felt like an invisible judgment.

It was something that made her feel choked up whenever she thought about it.

Xu Musen was holding her hand, gently placing it on his chest: "Didn't you say it before? We have started over. At least for now, I have no reason to dislike you… just don't drug me again in the future."

Xu Musen's last remark shifted the mood, and with a smile, he tapped her forehead. Yao Mingyue was momentarily dazed, her pale beautiful face couldn't help but blush.

"But… there's no guarantee…"

She muttered.

Xu Musen gently flicked her forehead again.

Yao Mingyue, however, raised her pretty face, looking at Xu Musen: "Then, could you satisfy one small request of mine…"

"Speak."

Facing the current Yao Mingyue, as long as she wasn't asking for the stars or the moon, Xu Musen could find a way to give them to her.

Yao Mingyue's pale cheeks flushed with traces of red, and her tired eyes shimmered with shy anticipation: "Could you, call me 'wife' one more time?"

Xu Musen's fingers paused; this term of endearment… he had called her that for many years already.

But at this moment, it somehow felt a bit awkward.

However, seeing Yao Mingyue's hopeful and frail expression, Xu Musen still bent down slowly, whispering in her ear: "Be good, wife."

Yao Mingyue shivered. The title she had heard countless times in her past life, so commonplace, now felt like tender spring rain, falling on every part of her body.

This moment, she wasn't the powerful female CEO from her previous life, nor the spoiled little princess, nor the pesky little shadow who always trailed behind him.

Right now, she only knew herself to be a young girl whose heart had just begun to stir, whose composure was utterly disrupted by a single word from the man she loved…

Just then, a breeze came through the doorway.

Yao Mingyue, embarrassed, hid herself inside the blankets.

Xu Musen turned his head around to see Liu Rushuang standing at the doorway.

Surprised, yet he conjured up a smile befitting a nephew.

Xu Musen:...

Well… mother-in-law, no, Mom… that feels awkward.

Let it be, it'll all be the same in the future.
