Yao Mingyue was one thing, but how did Zhu Yulan even come into the picture?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With chopsticks in hand, Zhao Lianmai also stirred her noodles and said indifferently, \"The essence of this question is about gauging a person's attitude. You didn't answer, but instead chose to evade, which clearly means that besides Nuannuan, there is at least one other girl whose presence makes you unable to decide immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen looked up at her: \"I think using you as a delivery person is quite a waste. With that way of thinking, you would probably be more suited as a psychologist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just speaking the truth. Nuannuan is a very naive girl; you just better not break her heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lianmai's words carried an unusually heavy emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen had always felt that Zhao Lianmai seemed particularly sensitive when it came to matters of the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I'll ask something I probably shouldn't as well, Xiao Mai. Have you had... any unsuccessful romantic experiences before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lianmai's expression momentarily darkened, but soon returned to normal: \"I've never been in love, and I don't want to be in a relationship in the future either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen nodded silently, chuckling, \"Everyone has things they don't want to share with others, that's normal. But you can rest assured, I'm not going to start something I can't finish. I'm just being cautious, that's all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Xu Musen continued to eat his meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhao Lianmai kept watching him enjoy his food with a glint in her eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I have something on my face?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I'm just curious why you rich people, instead of eating luxurious dishes like you had just now, choose to eat these few yuan a bowl noodles?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not some rich guy, and a few years back my family was so poor we almost couldn't afford to eat. Life has its ups and downs; you never know when things will turn around, so you have to face it with optimism,\" replied Xu Musen with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lianmai pursed her lips, looked down at her slightly faded denim shorts, and then back at Xu Musen: \"Are you trying to comfort me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I'm also just speaking the truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stopped talking after that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the noodles were finished, Xu Musen handed the boss a hundred-yuan note.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Settle the bill for all of us,\" said Xu Musen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhao Lianmai reached into her pocket, took out the few coins she had, ready to pay for her share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just a bowl of noodles, no need to pay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not used to freeloading off others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen didn't know why, but he always felt like she was making a point at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who the hell likes to live off others!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really, no need. If it weren't for you today, my taxi fare home would have cost me dozens of yuan. It's only right for me to treat you to a bowl of noodles. Any more courtesy, and I'll just have to pay your taxi fare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen spoke with a tone that brooked no argument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lianmai paused for a moment, but eventually put the money back in her pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting in the car, Xu Musen continued driving her towards the school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should probably hold onto my clothes, just in case you fall off and I feel guilty.\" Xu Musen spoke out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ride was bound to be bumpy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lianmai hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out her hand and gently grabbed the corner of his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at school, Xu Musen started preparing for the opening of the new branch, contacting the decoration company, and also expanding the fruit supplier relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making fruit tea is a lot more costly than making milk tea since one can't fake fresh fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, getting the fruit at a lower price would be ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Zhao Lianmai was soon busy again, selling milk tea in the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She put on her uniform, gave Xu Musen a glance, and then took some coins out of her pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the exact amount for the bowl of noodles, which she quietly placed on the counter inside the cute little bunny piggy bank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>School had started again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the evening, Xu Musen returned to his dormitory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong came back as well, slinging their arms over each other's shoulders, faces brimming with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the smug expressions on these two, their progress must have been pretty good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, Brother Sen, I'm going to start earning some serious cash now. With the National Holiday coming up, I might even take her out traveling,\" said Li Rundong, rubbing his hands together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hangyu was on his phone: \"I say, we need to strike while the iron is hot, I'll buy her a lipstick first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn! Didn't we agree to rely on our charm to attract them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's called a combined approach. You have to bait the spot before fishing, right? Haven't you heard the saying, 'you buy lipstick for your girl, and your girl gives you...'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong snickered mischievously together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen shook his head: \"Young people these days, can't your minds hold some true, good, and beautiful things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His phone chimed with a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Nuannuan: \"Xu Musen, I can come back to school tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen: \"Yes, tomorrow is officially the start of classes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The moon is really round tonight, like an ice cream scoop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I'll treat you to one tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The doctor finished the acupuncture, said I need more stimulation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem, I'll give you a good massage, just don't mind if my technique is a bit rusty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1078,"2026-06-06T13:36:44.620Z",1,"novelbin.me","c70e3ca891a42a145f66db75232561d78e789532986687c6061ca0f22505286a","after-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-chapter-239","after-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-chapter-383",1091,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-cover.jpg"]
