After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"Sorry, I wasn't steady just now and got your clothes dirty. I can compensate you,"

Yao Mingyue apologized to Zhu Yulan, her tone slightly stiff, for she had never bowed her head to strangers in her life.

This was far beyond Xu Musen's expectations.

"No need,"

Zhu Yulan could tell that this girl had a special relationship with Xu Musen. Although there was still some displeasure in her heart, the cost of a piece of clothing didn't concern her.

"Actually, you're right, there really aren't many girls chasing after him,"

Yao Mingyue sat down next to Xu Musen with an indifferent face, glanced over everyone, and finally rested her eyes on Xu Musen.

A faint smile appeared on her lips.

"But as it happens, I am one of those with poor eyesight,"

Yao Mingyue seemed to be mocking herself, holding her chin and looking at Xu Musen with a pair of doting eyes.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit peculiar.

The two girls wearing black stockings exchanged glances.

Didn't that sentence just openly indicate that she was pursuing Xu Musen?

A girl, abandoning even a shred of modesty, it must be said, was quite bold.

And though her words seemed self-deprecating, her entire being emitted a confident glow.

It was as if to say, if I am considered to have poor eyesight,

then you all must simply be blind.

Zhu Yulan felt an almost imperceptible sense of hostility looking at Yao Mingyue.

Inexplicable...

However, Yao Mingyue did behave quite properly after that, of course, she simply couldn't be bothered to talk to anyone other than Xu Musen.

"Who's this?"

The two girls opposite couldn't help but ask.

"A fellow townsman,"

Xu Musen gave a very vague yet precise answer.

A few people were taken aback.

Especially Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong, who were in on the story.

They couldn't help but think to themselves that Xu Musen was quite something.

A friend, a childhood sweetheart, a neighbor, any of those would do, yet he went with 'fellow townsman.'

Yao Mingyue's face suddenly looked a bit unhappy. She couldn't even be called a friend?

But in any case, she didn't like the 'friend' status either.

She suddenly smiled again and said, "Yes, a fellow townsman, the kind that grew up naked together."

Yao Mingyue's words seemed utterly unashamed, almost causing Xu Musen to choke.

Growing up naked together, wasn't that just another term for childhood sweethearts?

Now, the two girls understood.

They looked at Xu Musen, who was now flanked by both of them.

Zhu Yulan's aloofness was a habitual dignity befitting a young lady, not that she deliberately wanted to be cold, but that was just how she treated those she wasn't interested in, like a lotus with frost.

Then this suddenly appearing girl was like a rose with thorns, beautiful and captivating, but anyone who dared to get close would surely get a sting full of wounds.

Perhaps only those she truly cared about could smell her fragrance.

Both girls were so beautiful it was outrageous, and both had the exquisite dress and demeanor that certainly didn't belong to just anybody.

A sense of defeat inevitably rose in their hearts.

Indeed, a guy like him was sure to only have outstanding girls by his side.

The two girls then took another look at Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong and suddenly felt that they were quite pleasing to the eye as well.

Xu Musen sighed helplessly. Do young people think of nothing but love these days?

"Musen, eat more, your aunt told me to watch you. If you go hungry, I can't explain to her,"

Yao Mingyue even took the initiative to peel shrimp and put them in Xu Musen's plate.

This was a rare treat in the past.

If it had been in their past life, when Xu Musen secretly went out to eat with other girls without telling her,

she probably would have wanted to wash out his stomach and refill it with her own presence upon his return.

Xu Musen did not respond to her irony, and everyone at the table knew that this girl was deliberately asserting her dominance.

The two girls had given up and now their eyes were on Zhu Yulan.

Zhu Yulan indeed had a profound impression of Xu Musen.

Only because he always tricked her, which gave her, pampered by everyone from childhood, unprecedented feelings of frustration and defiance.

She just wanted to get back at him for the tricks he'd played on her.

But looking at this girl who suddenly appeared, it was one thing to have her clothes dirtied,

but what was with this demeanor of catching a cheater in the act?

She gritted her teeth and huffed.

And then she also began preparing to peel shrimp to eat, mainly as an act of venting frustration.

But she really never peeled these things by hand, the peeled meat was a mess, and it didn't look appetizing at all.

She didn't even want to eat it herself.

Her gaze turned to Xu Musen's plate and noticed that Yao Mingyue's peeled shrimp didn't look much better, but were still slightly better than her own.

The damned competitive spirit of girls.

She huffed again inwardly and turned her eyes to her assistant beside her.

"Xiaotao, you eat this,"

"Sister Zhu… I have enough of my own,"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the "unidentifiable object" she received with a little round face full of distress.

"Hm?"

"I'll eat, I'll eat…"

Yang Xiaotao stuffed it into her mouth, sighing inwardly. It was not easy trying to earn some extra pocket money.

The meal was eaten in a somewhat strange atmosphere.

But Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong were quite happy, because somehow, after Yao Mingyue's appearance, the two girls beside them became more responsive to them.

Tsk tsk, they never expected Yao Mingyue to be their lucky star as well. Enjoy more content from empire
