After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Zhu Xianglan spoke with a hint of a smile on her lips, yet deep in her eyes, a concealed luster flickered.

Zhu Yulan felt somewhat speechless and huffed, "Whether I like him or not is my own business, our family can't control me, and you can tell him that too. I'm not some puppet he can manipulate! Who I want to be with is up to me!"

Her words caused Zhu Xianglan's expression to pause for a moment.

While speaking, Zhu Yulan's gaze slightly shifted as she looked at her constantly beaming second sister. She pursed her lips, her eyes complex, as if she wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back down.

"Sis, go back and have your meal, I'm leaving now."

After that, Zhu Yulan slowly raised her car window and drove away.

Zhu Xianglan stood where she was, her usually mature and charming cheeks momentarily dazed.

She watched her sister's departing direction, lost in thought for a long time.

"Mastering one's own destiny..."

She suddenly smiled, turned around, and looked back at the brilliantly lit Fugui Manor, which seemed more like a cage the more she looked at it.

Outside the gate was a pitch-black road, yet it promised unparalleled freedom.

"It's hard, but it's also worth the anticipation..."

Zhu Xianglan watched her sister's car disappear into the night, then looked up at the sky, twinkling with stars. Memories from years ago surfaced in her mind; she sighed deeply, turned around, and headed in the opposite direction of Zhu Yulan, back into the manor.

...

December was approaching,

and winter break was just around the corner.

Xu Musen had been running around various universities every day.

Some tough nuts had gradually been cracked.

Auntie of Shanghai's milk tea shop had managed to secure a certain share of the market in most of the well-known universities around Huhai.

Moreover, they had taken over a storefront in the busiest commercial street opposite Huhai University.

As the first stop stepping out of the school gates.

Now in Huhai, this milk tea shop had become a phenomenon.

The major universities were its strongest fan base.

And the collaboration with Paojie Animation was already in place, ready to be launched alongside the new store as a celebration event.

"Boss Xu, summer vacation is almost upon us, aren't you going to give us a break and still make us work overtime every day?"

"Yeah, it's made it impossible for me to even chase girls."

Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong had started to slack off at work; despite earning a good salary these days, they were endlessly busy.

As college students, wasn't the point of earning money to find a girlfriend?

As a result, they had no time to meet girls, and they also had to eat the dog food Xu Musen and An Nuannuan were constantly throwing at each other.

"This job is a good gig, are you two sure you don't want it?" Xu Musen said with a chuckle.

"No way, we're not doing it."

The two shook their heads like rattle drums.

Xu Musen smiled and turned to Ma Yaxing, "Alright then, this job is yours. Go to the anime club and find a few pretty girls who like to cosplay. When the collaboration starts, they can act as NPCs for interaction. How you handle their contact information and inviting them out to eat is up to you."

As soon as this was said, Li Rundong and Zhou Hangyu exchanged a glance, then immediately clung to each other and latched onto Xu Musen's leg.

"Boss Xu, let me do it!"

"I'll do it, I'll do it, I'm cut out for hard work!"

"Hey! Didn't you two just say you weren't going?" Ma Yaxing swore at them from the side.

"Who said we weren't going? We can't sit still for a day!"

"Yeah, for the development of the company, for social progress, for letting Boss Xu save up a dowry for the old lady sooner, how can we be lazy?"

Li Rundong and Zhou Hangyu's eyes gleamed with excitement at the thought of hitting on girls with the company's money, especially those who liked cosplay, which made them drool.

"Go on, get! Are you doing this for work? You're just lusting after their bodies, you're despicable!" Ma Yaxing was speechless at the two.

"Brother Sen, let us do it, we'll go through fire and water for you!"

The two were like possessed teddy bears at this point.

Xu Musen smiled wryly, "Alright, alright, if you want to go, then go. We need plenty of hands anyway; there's enough work for all of you."

"Alright!"

The two immediately jumped up and began scrambling to the anime club to find girls.

Xu Musen shook his head; young people just couldn't hold back.

As Xu Musen was reflecting on this, he suddenly felt a soft, fragrant body behind him, hugging him, and a warm piece of cantaloupe was brought to his lips.

Naturally, it was Boss Lady An Nuannuan. She had become increasingly smooth in her movements and with a cane, you could barely hear any sound when she walked.

Xu Musen opened his mouth and ate the cantaloupe; it was sweet. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

He turned to look at An Nuannuan, who had a habit of napping and now slept for a while in the little room every afternoon.

She lay on Xu Musen's back, her soft cheeks unabashedly pressed against his.

Although An Nuannuan looked soft and cute, she actually had quite "thick skin."

In the beginning, when others said the two of them were flaunting their relationship, An Nuannuan would be a bit embarrassed.

But now, An Nuannuan even took the initiative to flaunt it.

For example, she would hold hands with Xu Musen in front of everyone, feed each other, hug, and cuddle.

Perhaps, in An Nuannuan's world, there was no such thing as flaunting a relationship. After all, for her, liking someone meant being open and proud of it.

For so long before, she could only watch him from a distance; now that they were finally together, she wanted to make up for all the hugs and kisses she had missed, doubly so.
