She gazed at Xu Musen, leaned in close, and whispered, \"Then do you have a trial version? In case I'm not satisfied, I could still return it within seven days for no reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, Yao Mingyue's gaze was unabashedly roving over Xu Musen's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen had been the subject of such looks too many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, everyone saw Xu Musen as a toad lusting after swan meat, not realizing that Xu Musen was the one being \"nourished.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was like a handsome man captured by a goblin queen into her lair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're not playing, just go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I still have a few rings left in my hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue, holding the rings, glanced over the booth, which was really just a few small animals that caught her interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't like the small turtle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little rabbit... always reminded her of someone equally large and white, seemingly foolish but actually cunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze settled on a small parrot sitting nearby. Parrots were birds known for their attachment to people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Said to be dogs in birds' clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, they were lively by nature and could provide entertainment through speech if trained properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, parrots were loyal and clingy, traits Yao Mingyue cherished most...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swiftly threw out all the rings in her hand, but none hit the mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue's lips pursed in dissatisfaction as she asked the stall owner for a few more rings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you like it, just buy one,\" Xu Musen suggested from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does buying it directly compare to earning it yourself? Besides, aren't there some things money can't buy, things you can't have even if you want to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue gave him a sidelong glance. If she could purchase him with money, she would rather gnaw on plain buns daily to make him hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue hurled the rings once more. The night was already dark, and her natural talent for such trifles seemed particularly lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her supply of rings depleted again. Although she hadn't captured the parrot, she managed to snag a little turtle and a rabbit nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was uncertain whether her luck was good or bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think rabbits are quite cute, and turtles aren't bad either, easy to care for,\" Xu Musen commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what I want is the parrot, not any rabbit or turtle. No matter how good they are, I don't want them. I want the one I like,\" Yao Mingyue insisted, biting her lip. Although talking about animals, her eyes were always on Xu Musen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took all the rings from the stall owner and threw them one by one, but it was as if fate was playing a joke on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A couple of times the rings nearly stayed on the cage, but they bounced off upon landing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Always missing by just a little... but that tiny bit made all the difference, as if it were leagues away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like her and him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes Yao Mingyue put in so much effort. Xu Musen was always right there, and there were moments she almost had him, but their fates consistently missed by a sliver, like ships passing in the night...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue bit down on her lip harder, her frustration not stemming from her failure to win a parrot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was rather like seeing a future she didn't want to face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once more, she threw all her rings until none were left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her hand remained the last ring. She steadied herself, observed carefully for a while, and then threw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ring rotated around the parrot's cage. She held her breath as the ring orbited the cage several times, but it ultimately hung on the edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a tad short…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner, witnessing the beautiful young woman's dejected expression, found himself feeling a pinch of remorse. He picked up the captured\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beauty, why don't you just take the parrot, consider it a swap for the rabbit and turtle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue, as if she hadn't heard, her eyes downcast: \"Forget it, if I can't have it, then I can't have it, it's just a parrot after all, I never end up getting what I want…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue's voice carried an undertone of sorrow that even the ring-toss stall owner felt his heart weigh heavy with guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, I'll help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen sighed. Maybe Yao Mingyue had said it on purpose, but the sense of injustice laced with her words couldn't be feigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen removed the last ring that Yao Mingyue had tossed around his neck earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He faced her and extended his hand slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll help you. Otherwise, someone won't be satisfied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Xu Musen placed the ring in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, didn't you say you'd help me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue clutched the last ring as if it were her last straw of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without responding, Xu Musen moved behind her and gently lifted her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll help you aim, you just take care of the throw,\" he instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them were pressed close together. Although the bulky winter jackets prevented them from feeling each other's touch, their breaths mingled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen's gesture, as if he were softly embracing her from behind, caused Yao Mingyue's heart to beat wildly out of control for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>",969,"2026-06-06T13:36:44.621Z",1,"novelbin.me","a1680683254bef272b34a28dbc59fda42abdc2927bae7649be1a53e79c06ff82","after-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-chapter-424","after-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-chapter-422",1091,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-cover.jpg"]
