After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

An Nuannuan showed a smile, "I like him, not on a whim, but a long-considered move. It's the decision I regret the least. He will definitely be mine, definitely!"

An Shanhai was a bit stunned. He looked at his daughter before him. Although she was smiling sweetly, there was something obsessive, almost extreme about her demeanor.

He opened his mouth, then suddenly realized... Xu Musen, this brat, wasn't playing two sides but seemed to have his legs welded onto two boats. Did he himself also feel like a pawn in the game?

But no matter what.

Nuannuan's...enthusiasm could be considered a good thing, at least. His daughter wasn't one of those young girls who plunge into love and lose all intelligence.

An Shanhai took a deep breath, feeling helpless yet somewhat comforted, "Okay, I trust my daughter. Since you've thought it through, then go ahead and do it. No matter the outcome, this will always be your home."

"Mhm mhm, got it, Daddy."

An Nuannuan's eyes dimmed, regaining the well-behaved and simple look she often had, as she stood up and walked out of the study.

At this moment.

Xu Musen had come to the backyard and was sitting on the swing here. Even though it was winter, the greenhouse in the backyard still cultivated many fresh flowers.

He was happy today.

No matter what, the engagement with Nuannuan was proceeding smoothly, but his conversation with Nuannuan's father still echoed in his mind.

He also kept visualizing Yao Mingyue's face, especially when she held the snowman, corners of her eyes reddened, asking him if they could ever watch the snow in Huhai together again...

Xu Musen took a deep breath in silence.

He was supposed to be happy, but the air around him felt oppressively heavy.

"Ha…"

Suddenly, Xu Musen felt a push on his back, and he started swinging gently. The air around him seemed to shake off its drowsiness entirely.

Turning his head, he saw An Nannan bounding towards him, "Hey, what are you daydreaming about? Did my dad intimidate you, huh huh huh!"

An Nannan, cunning beyond her years, gave Xu Musen a push and then stood in front of him, pulling a face at him.

Faced with his future young aunt who seemed to never grow up, Xu Musen couldn't help but chuckle, "What would a little brat know."

"I am not a little brat!"

An Nannan pouted, humming as she approached Xu Musen, "I know. You're here to ask for a hand in marriage. Don't you know you should be sucking up to me?"

Xu Musen looked at the future young aunt before him, wearing the white and red cotton coat he bought her, with two lively ponytails, and her skin also pale and tender, even her proud teeth shining white.

She was full of vitality.

With his spirits lifted somewhat, Xu Musen reached out and pinched the young aunt's cheek, "Then do you know, when we're together, I'm called 'the groom', and you as the young aunt should be serving me tea and water, got it?"

"Pah pah pah! Serving tea and water is for maids, and I am certainly not! I am a princess!"

An Nannan placed her hands on her waist, her clean and snow-white chin lifted, looking sparkling and transparent, indeed like Snow White from the fairy tales.

Both sisters had a magical power that made one feel better with just one glance.

Xu Musen said with a smile, "Then Princess Nannan, what brings you to see me?"

Being called a little princess made An Nannan quite happy. Her cheeks reddened slightly as she gently fiddled with the hem of her new dress, twisting slightly.

"I came... well, it's nothing much really, just..."

An Nannan was a girl who seldom acted coy, but now she was blushing slightly, looking at Xu Musen's smiling face, she finally blurted out as if making up her mind, "I just came to thank you. I was too shy to say it before when there were so many people... Actually, I really like the clothes you bought for me!"

Xu Musen paused for a moment, looking at the young girl before him, then burst into laughter, "Is it just for that?"

"Of course, I'm not the type who is ungrateful, hey, is that the attitude to have when I'm thanking you?"

An Nannan pouted her lips, still looking a bit unhappy, "Aren't you supposed to say 'You're welcome' at a time like this?"

"Of course, that's my attitude because my taste is naturally good, and since my younger aunt is so pretty, of course anything she wears looks great."

Xu Musen laughed heartily and couldn't help but flick her pouted lips, soft and elastic; they felt quite amusing.

An Nannan's ears turned red from his praise, but on the surface, she huffed, "Conceited king, who's your younger aunt? You're not even engaged to my sister yet, I don't recognize you at all!"

"You don't recognize me? Then who will make you delicious food in the future? Who will take you out to play? Who will buy you such beautiful new clothes? Could you find a better brother-in-law than me?"

Xu Musen said earnestly.

An Nannan's big eyes rolled around, as if actually considering...

"Humph, I'm not following you, I'm following my sister. Anyway, she will take care of me."

"Once we're married, I'll be the head of the family; if I say I don't want you, then I don't want you. Shouldn't you behave and try to curry favor with me?"

Xu Musen leaned on the swing with a little smirk as if he had her under his thumb.

An Nannan wrinkled her little nose, "You're so annoying!"

Xu Musen laughed out loud.

Then, An Nannan moved closer, her small face flushed red, whispering softly.

"Hey, if I'm well-behaved in the future... then you'll take me out to play, make me delicious food, and buy me pretty new clothes, right?"

After all, An Nannan before Xu Musen was still a little girl; it was indeed hard for her to resist these temptations, but more importantly, it was about their interactions over the past two years.

In fact, An Nannan had long since accepted this future brother-in-law; it went from initially asking when her sister would come home, to when her sister and that annoying guy would come home.

And that annoying guy had slowly become a very important part of her life...

"Of course," Xu Musen replied with a smile.

An Nannan's eyes immediately lit up, looking at Xu Musen's warm smile; her cheeks flushed with joy, "Hmph~ Actually, you do look quite handsome at times, I suppose you're passable as my brother-in-law!"

"Say it again; I want to hear it."

"I don't want to..."

"I'll buy you a stick of candied hawthorn."

"I'll only say it for two sticks."

"I'll buy you ten sticks!"

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law..."

Yes, just like that, this little girl sold out her sister.

The courtyard was filled with laughter and joy.

This scene brought smiles to the grandparents watching from the living room.

In the study, An Shanhai, too, saw this scene through the window; he didn't know whether to laugh or what, but indeed the house at this moment truly had the feeling of home.

An Nuannuan was in her own room at this moment, watching from the balcony as Xu Musen shamelessly teased Nannan to push him on the swing.

Her lips, too, wore a smile that wouldn't fade.

Xu Musen, I like you so much.

In this lifetime, I never want to leave you.
