Yao Mingyue, who had just calmed down a bit, instantly tensed up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She burrowed tightly into Xu Musen's embrace, clinging to him with all her might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen instinctively stepped back, but Yao Mingyue, her entire body shivering, was gripped by an inexplicable fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't leave me...\" her voice broke with an unusual fragility and pleading, even containing a hint of crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each clap of thunder outside, Yao Mingyue wished she could hide within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen's mind was flooded with memories of the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her previous life, Yao Mingyue always presented herself as a cold and dominant female CEO.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her only vulnerability, perhaps, was that whenever there was a storm with thunder, she would cancel all her work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by locking herself in her room and tightly embracing Xu Musen could she find peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the reason, Xu Musen had a guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years ago, on just such a stormy night, there had been a car accident, and her father never returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Xu Musen had also been sleepless. His father had been dragged into the intensive care unit and didn't come out for half a month, leaving him with a leg injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, the two of them had sat huddled together on the cold hospital corridor chairs just like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a child who had just graduated from elementary school and was about to celebrate her birthday, it inevitably became a lifelong psychological shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, Xu Musen felt nothing but empathic pain and understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held Yao Mingyue, gently stroking her head, with no other emotion in his heart but comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's all in the past now,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he whispered, and Yao Mingyue held him even tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a long time before Yao Mingyue finally calmed down a bit,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her head, her somewhat pale lips now also bitten with a hint of blood. She looked at Xu Musen and suddenly pushed him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you still here? Aren't you going to find her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen looked at her haggard appearance and sighed softly, \"There isn't as much between her and me as you think, and my mom called you a lot, but you never answered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue's gaze unintentionally glanced at the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen followed her gaze and then noticed the phone that had smashed to the ground, apparently retired on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it seemed her phone was a recent purchase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really treating money like it's nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen felt a headache coming on: \"Yao Mingyue, what's past is past, you have to learn to control your emotions in the future...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Musen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue bitingly interrupted him, her eyes still hollow, \"What, exactly, is the relationship between you and that girl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen looked at her for a few seconds, then slowly began,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friends? She was hugging you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue let out a cold snicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen looked down and said, \"Haven't we hugged as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue's gaze faltered, but she didn't leave his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hug you because you're already mine! You can't hug other people...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue clutched his collar, mixing forcefulness with a touch of grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nobody belongs to anyone. My hug with her is just like the one with you right now, with no messy thoughts, just a pure hug.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen's face was calm, and he felt no guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yao Mingyue let out a scoffing laugh, her bloodshot eyes glinting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're pure, but what about her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue emphasized each word, looking at Xu Musen, \"If one day she falls in love with you, can you still say it's just pure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scenes of Xu Musen's interactions with An Nuannuan flashed through his mind, including their outing today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shopping, eating out, watching a movie, even exchanging gifts, and finally a farewell hug…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt almost like a couple's interaction, of course, without any kissing, hugging, and lifting high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, looking at Yao Mingyue, Xu Musen had been through these same activities countless times with her…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for being moved, he could no longer tell which moment affected him more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is between her and me; it has nothing to do with you, Yao Mingyue. Right now, we're merely friends, and I don't need to explain anything to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen looked at her, his tone especially firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Musen, you can't fool me. You still like me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue tightly embraced Xu Musen's neck, slowly straightening up in his arms, their cheeks nearing each other, their gazes intently locked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Yao Mingyue's phoenix eyes was a stubborn look, almost as if she were darkening completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I don't want to just be friends with you! You're mine, forever...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1359,"2026-06-06T13:36:44.619Z",1,"novelbin.me","39b499ea25e76dd2f3bc00f1ce06bd0f4e0c98649b2798149709b20821d5038d","after-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-chapter-71","after-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-chapter-69",1091,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-cover.jpg"]
