After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"Tsk tsk!"

...

Liu Rushuang came to the kitchen.

At this moment, Xu Musen had his back to the door and had already begun plating the dishes.

Wearing an apron, with a tall and straight posture, and seriously cooking, Xu Musen really had a special charm.

A charm that boys of this age do not possess.

In trendy terms, it's what young people now call "husband material."

Perhaps for those young girls it's hard to truly appreciate this mature charm, but at her age, what kind of person hadn't she seen?

Yet, what truly brings a woman what she wants is still this kind of composure and stability in character, and on top of that, the ability to give a warm feeling.

Further, Xu Musen's cooking skills were genuinely excellent. The last time she had eaten his cooking,

she walked over, quietly extended her hand behind Xu Musen, and directly pinched a shrimp from the plate.

Xu Musen did not turn around, but he smelled that familiar floral scent of Yao Mingyue on her, he looked down and saw the fair little hand that was stealing food.

He slapped the sneaky hand directly.

"Don't pick food, wait until Aunt Liu comes back and then we can eat," Xu Musen said, a bit irritably.

After all this time, still no understanding of basic manners.

"Ah..."

After having her hand slapped, "Yao Mingyue" behind him gave out a little cry.

Xu Musen suddenly felt something was off. Although the voice sounded very similar, Yao Mingyue usually spoke with a proud and aloof tone, or in a weird and sarcastic way.

But this voice seemed full of maturity and intellect.

Turning his head, he was met with those familiar, Phoenix-like eyes; Yao Mingyue and her daughter indeed looked very much alike.

Yao Mingyue's temperament had always appeared more mature than her peers.

Liu Rushuang, who took good care of herself, could easily pass for someone in her thirties.

Especially at such a close distance, Xu Musen was really a little confused for a moment.

But Xu Musen subconsciously lowered his gaze and didn't see the tip of the shoe...

Well, that confirmed it.

Xu Musen took a small step back, looking at Liu Rushuang who was now rubbing her wrist, and felt a bit awkward.

"Aunt Liu, you should have said something when you came. I thought you were Ming Yue," he said.

Liu Rushuang, of course, wasn't angry; she was actually quite happy listening to Xu Musen's words just now.

At least this kid always kept her, his elder, in his heart.

Liu Rushuang smiled warmly, looking at Xu Musen: "It's okay. If you mistook me for Ming Yue, it means the aunt still looks young."

Liu Rushuang always seemed so calm and intelligent when she spoke.

She peeled the shrimp she had just stealthily taken, but instead of eating it herself, she brought it to Xu Musen's mouth.

"Here, you have the first taste," she said.

"You've had a hard day, auntie. You eat first; I'm just about to serve the dishes," he replied.

"No matter how hard, seeing my two darlings making so many delicious dishes at home makes me not tired at all," Liu Rushuang said, her eyes filled with affection.

And again, she offered the shrimp to his mouth.

"Come on, let's have our chef taste the first bite!"

Liu Rushuang's pampering tone, like that used for coaxing a child, was just like many years ago, when Yao Mingyue and Xu Musen were fussy eaters, she would cajole them in the same way.

Only now, it felt a bit embarrassing.

Moreover, Xu Musen had come today with a bit of a guilty conscience, intending to make an apology.

But Xu Musen was not too pretentious and swallowed the shrimp in one gulp.

"Thank you, auntie. You just wait to eat; everything is ready here," he said.

"Alright, then today auntie won't be dieting. Whatever Xiao Sen's craft offers, auntie will eat!" Liu Rushuang said with a smile, patting Xu Musen on the head before turning to wash her hands first.

Watching her leave, Xu Musen always regarded Liu Rushuang as his own half mother.

And truly, Liu Rushuang was very good to him. As a mother, she certainly put her daughter, Yao Mingyue, first in her heart.

This was actually right, as any parent would do the same.

But the kindness Liu Rushuang showed him was no less than that to her own son. Apart from Yao Mingyue, Xu Musen was now the person closest to her.

These past days, Xu Musen actually had been somewhat hesitant. With Yao Mingyue, they were both still young, and time would eventually dilute everything.

But with Liu Rushuang, it wasn't so simple. After that accident, she had endured so much pain and had supported a home by herself.

Her only close relative was Yao Mingyue.

She felt both heartache and guilt for her daughter.

Therefore, Yao Mingyue's happiness was of utmost importance in her heart, even if... her daughter might have strayed a bit.

But she didn't want her daughter to be sad anymore.

So, if this matter were to truly become known to Liu Rushuang, her heart would certainly be hurt.

Although it's better to have a short pain than a long one, Xu Musen still hoped to keep the pain to a minimum.

Thinking silently, Xu Musen felt he needed to find an opportunity to have a proper talk with Liu Rushuang before the new year.

At the dining table.

Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue had arranged all the dishes.

The empty villa at that moment also had an especially warm feeling.

"It's wonderful. Whenever Xiao Sen comes, it's one of my rare days to relax. I really wish Xiao Sen could live here every day, then it would be lively," Liu Rushuang said, now in her home clothes, her light makeup removed, but still her bare face exuded an intellectual and elegant beauty.

She blinked at Xu Musen, that hopeful look in her eyes making Xu Musen inwardly sigh.

"Auntie, if you like my cooking, I will come more often in the future," he promised.
