I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 388: Childhood sweethearts sleeping in each other's arms, caught by their parents. (6k subscription request!)

The property management arrived quickly with the keys.

Xu's father and mother also stood at the door of the villa early and waited.

Looking at the villa in front of them, the old couple was filled with emotion. In fact, Chinese people have the strongest sense of territory.

It is impossible to sell land and houses unless you are at your wit's end.

Moreover, this house carries the memories of their youth. It is also the first new house they bought after their marriage and the place where their two children grew up. It means a lot to them.

Now that they have finally bought it back, they are actually more excited than anyone else.

"I just don't know if the previous decoration has been changed. I remember that we bought a lot of mahogany furniture when we got married."

Father Xu sighed, looking at his wife who had been through ups and downs for more than 20 years, and thought that they were young once too.

More than 20 years ago, a wedding car lined up to pick her up here. The two people were only a few years older than Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue are now.

Now, in the blink of an eye, I see that my wife has a lot of wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

"It's been sold for many years. I guess it has been replaced by someone else. What's wrong? Did you hide your private money somewhere before and just remembered it now?"

Mother Xu looked at her husband and asked suddenly.

Father Xu stumbled and was speechless: "When have I ever hidden my own money? My pockets are cleaner than your face every day..."

"Okay, okay, as long as we can buy the house back, and then we can save some money to renovate it, that will be good enough."

Mother Xu looked at the familiar gate of the villa, and her eyes subconsciously looked towards the master bedroom where they used to live. She could see the gate when the window was opened.

In the past, she stood here every day, holding the young Xu Musen in her arms, waiting for her husband to come home from work every day.

It just happens in the blink of an eye.

Their eyes all turned to Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue who were standing at the door.

Before I knew it, so many years have passed.

The property manager came over and handed over the key to the villa's front door: "Hello, this is the key to Villa 702. The current owner has told us that it can be resold at any time. The price will be based on the lowest listing price before. Do you need us to show you the house?"

"No need, we can just take a look ourselves."

Xu Musen took the key. Even though the decoration of the house had changed, he could still figure out the layout of the house even with his eyes closed.

"Okay, then you can call me anytime if you need anything."

The property manager remembered that intellectual voice and very tactfully chose to stand at the door and wait.

Xu Musen pushed open the door of the villa. The small courtyard of the villa had not changed at all. Even the rosewood tree they had planted in the courtyard was still there.

However, nearly ten years have passed, and the tree still looks about the same length and thickness as when it was first planted.

As expected of a century-old tree, it really takes a hundred years to see a hint of growth.

Moreover, the small pavilion in the yard has not changed, and even the custom-made swing is still there, but no one has used it for a long time, so it looks a little rusty.

Yao Mingyue used to like letting him push her on the swing, carefree and carefree.

As soon as I took the first step into this yard, memories came flooding back.

Come to the door.

Xu Musen looked at the key in his hand and slowly inserted it into the lock.

Kaka.

The door was gently pushed open, and a unique scent of aged mahogany wafted into the air. The next moment, Xu Musen's gaze paused slightly.

When Mr. and Mrs. Xu saw what was happening, they opened their mouths in surprise.

The familiar mahogany furniture, familiar potted plants, and even the tables, chairs, and benches in the room are still in their original positions!
Moreover, the sofa and the floor are spotless, and the lamps and ornaments are shiny as new. You can tell at a glance that someone cleans them regularly all year round.

It was as if the house had been waiting for this day to see them again, and everything was exactly the same as before.

"This... isn't this the vase we bought back then? And this is the baby chair that we customized for Mu Sen and Ming Yue when they were little. This, this is a cabinet with rounded corners because we were afraid they would bump into it..."

Xu's mother walked into the living room and looked around excitedly, as if she had returned to several years ago.

"Yes, this is the coffee table we chose together, and the piano we bought for the child. Look at the floor. Is this kitchenware the same set we chose together?"

Father Xu also looked very excited, as if he was a young boy who had found his "secret base" again after many years.

"Could it be that the family who bought our villa never moved in? It's exactly the same as when we moved out."

"Oh, I didn't expect that many of these things were bought by us ourselves..."

Father and Mother Xu looked at everything familiar in the room, and an indescribable feeling filled their bodies.

After all, this was their former wedding room and the place where they watched their children grow up. At this moment, the two of them stood in the familiar room, as if they had crossed time and returned to the past when they were young.

Father Xu held his wife's hand, excited and happy.

"Come on, let's go to the bedroom and see if it's the same as before!"

"Your legs are not the same as before, slow down..."

Xu's mother's eyes were so happy that they relaxed, and the two of them were as excited as when they first entered the new house.

Xu Musen watched his father jogging along. Ever since the car accident, his father's legs had some problems and he would limp when he walked fast.

This is the first time in all these years that I have seen him jog so smoothly.

Xu Musen shook his head and smiled, then looked at Yao Mingyue who was also smiling beside him.

Xu Musen looked at everything familiar around him and said with a smile, "The mysterious current owner of this villa, could it be you and Aunt Liu?"

Yao Mingyue turned her head and blinked innocently at Xu Musen: "What do you mean?"

"Don't pretend. After all, this house has been sold for so many years. Even if the owner didn't choose to renovate it, it's impossible to preserve these things so well."

Xu Musen had guessed it as soon as he entered the room that the only person who could do this could be Liu Rushuang.

He was still moved, not because of the value of the villa, but because of the memories contained in it.

Yao Mingyue looked at Xu Musen's expression. She stopped playing dumb and stood in front of him proudly: "Then are you going to thank me?"

Xu Musen smiled and said, "How do you want me to thank you?"

Yao Mingyue reached out her hand, gently lifted his chin, and blew softly into his ear: "How about I give you to me to pay off my debt?"

"It's not impossible."

Xu Musen nodded seriously, and then pretended to be innocent: "But isn't the owner of the house Aunt Liu?"

"You want to die! What belongs to me is mine, and you are my slave from now on! Otherwise I won't buy it for you!"

Yao Mingyue hit him angrily.

"You don't have the final say. When you marry me, let Aunt Liu give me this villa as a dowry."

Xu Musen spoke with a smile, and Yao Mingyue's face instantly turned red. She went up and covered his mouth, then looked cautiously towards the second floor, fearing that these words would be heard.

"Uncle and aunt are here, stop talking nonsense... and you are just dreaming. I haven't decided to marry you yet. You are more suitable to be my son-in-law..."

Yao Mingyue snorted and stepped on him.

Xu Musen raised his head, grabbed her wrist, and looked up at the room on the second floor, the room that belonged to him.

"Let's go, we should go check it out."

On the second floor, Xu Musen’s room.

When you open the door, what catches your eye is a double bed with bunk beds. As for why it is a double bed.

Since childhood, Yao Mingyue's parents have been busier than Xu's father and mother in business, and they often need to travel around the country to meet clients.

Yao Mingyue naturally often lived in Xu Musen's house.

Although there were many rooms, they were all still young at the time, and Yao Mingyue was afraid to sleep alone, so she slept in the same room with Xu Musen.

Before going to elementary school, the two of them even slept in the same bed.

After entering elementary school, we still had to avoid some suspicion, so we customized a bunk bed like this.

After graduating from elementary school...the house was put up for sale.

Xu Musen sighed in his heart. Really, everything in the room had not changed. However, the toys and other things that originally belonged to him had been taken away, and the room seemed empty.

“I miss this bed so much~”

Yao Mingyue couldn't wait to jog over, kicked off her shoes, then lay on the bed and stretched.

The girl's slim body is as beautiful as a cat's, with smooth lines.

Xu Musen walked over and pointed to the upper bunk: "I remember your bed is up there, right?"

"The upper and lower bunks are mine!"

Yao Mingyue rolled around on the bed arrogantly, and then pulled Xu Musen to sit on the bed.

"You lie down and take a look too."

"Me? I can't lie down."

Xu Musen looked at the bed.

"I could lie down before, why can't I lie down now?"

"Because we've all grown up." Xu Musen said with a smile. The double bed was indeed quite spacious, but it was prepared for children after all. If the two of them lay together now, it would seem a bit crowded.

Yao Mingyue first looked down at herself, then puffed out her chest with a bit of pride: "This beautiful girl has indeed grown up, but some people…"

Yao Mingyue made a small gesture that would break anyone's defense: "Tsk~"

"Make room for me."

Xu Musen tapped her forehead. Looking at the familiar bed he hadn't been to for a long time, he also wanted to lie down on it and feel it.

As he spoke, Xu Musen lay down next to her. The bed was indeed a bit small, and their shoulders were pressed tightly together.

The scents of both people were intertwined, the faint scent of roses and the elegant scent of herbs, both of which made each other feel very at ease.

Yao Mingyue turned around and hugged Xu Musen's arm, half of her body pressed gently against his arm, looking at his profile, her tone gentle and nostalgic: "I haven't laid like this for a long time..."

"Yeah, I still remember that a little crybaby always sneaked down to get into my bed in the middle of the night."

Xu Musen felt the softness and fragrance coming from the girl, and seemed to have returned to his childhood.

At that time, both sets of parents were busy with their business, so they slept on the bunk beds at night.

Sometimes when it was windy and thundering, the villa would be so empty and scary that Yao Mingyue would get down from the upper bunk in fear, hugging her little pillow.

Her eyes were red and she cried and wanted to sleep with Xu Musen. Xu Musen listened to his parents' instructions to avoid suspicion, but as soon as Yao Mingyue was mentioned, she started crying and stood there holding her little pillow, feeling very aggrieved.

In the end, Xu Musen had no choice but to relent and let her lie down with him.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Yao Mingyue's face turned red. He twisted Xu Musen's arm, looking a little furious after being exposed. "It was you who blackmailed me! It was you who made me sleep with you in the middle of the night, you rascal! It's you, it's you!"

Xu Musen laughed, he liked her arrogance and pretentiousness.

"I still remember that we were already in the third grade at that time. My parents went on a business trip, and my mother specifically told me to take good care of you and to pay attention to the principle of sex not being intimate. But there was a thunderstorm that night, and you got out of bed holding a pillow to look for me. I didn't agree, and you said unconvincedly, "Who cares about you? I... whoever looks for you is a puppy!"

After saying that, you went back to bed angrily, but there were always strange noises of mice in the room at night. You were so scared that you sneaked into my bed in the middle of the night holding the pillow.

The next morning, my mom and Aunt Liu saw me. My mom pulled me up and gave me a beating. In the end, it was Aunt Liu who pulled me up with a smile, otherwise my butt would have been bruised."

Xu Musen described the past events vividly, and Yao Mingyue's face became redder as she listened: "Stop talking nonsense. Was I so... shameless when I was a kid?"

"You're not a child, you've always been like this since you were a child."

"Xu Musen, you are going to die!"

Yao Mingyue was furious. With a red face, she turned around and pressed on Xu Musen, her slender fingers covering Xu Musen's neck: "Apologize to me! Otherwise I will strangle you to death!"

Xu Musen cooperated very well and made an expression as if he was being strangled and suffocated and rolled his eyes.

"puff…"

Yao Mingyue couldn't help laughing: "You are such a mean person."

As Yao Mingyue spoke, she hummed again and leaned down into Xu Musen's arms, her ear pressed against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, just like when she was a child and sneaked into his bed at night when she was scared.

Suddenly I felt so relieved...

In this familiar room, familiar bunk beds, familiar person in her arms... Yao Mingyue slowly closed her eyes, really hoping that all this was just a dream, and when she woke up, they would really be back to the past.

Xu Musen gently stroked her head and patted her back, just like when he coaxed her to sleep when she was a child.

It was gradually getting dark outside the window. It was easy to feel sleepy after dinner. The two of them lay on this slightly crowded but extremely warm bed, feeling very safe.

After just a short nap, Yao Mingyue actually fell asleep in Xu Musen's arms.

Xu Musen looked at her peaceful face, which was completely different from the arrogant and willful her in the past.

Xu Musen didn't have the heart to wake her up, so he gently pulled the quilt over her body, lowered his head slightly, and kissed the top of her head.

Outside the door at this moment.

Looking at the bedroom which was almost exactly the same as before, Mr. and Mrs. Xu had more or less guessed what it was.

"It seems like we owe them another favor..."

Father Xu sighed, having already guessed that all this must have been prepared by Liu Rushuang long ago.

I chose to keep it secret just to save their face.

"Yes, Lao Yao and Rushuang are both good people. If it weren't for the previous accident, perhaps our two families would have lived a better life." Xu's mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, feeling moved and a little guilty.

No matter what, Yao Mingyue's father missed the best time for rescue because he wanted to save Xu's father.

They chose to sell their house and car without asking for any compensation, and just wanted to do their best to make it up to them.

But now it seems that they still owe Yao Mingyue's family.

"These two children are doing much better than us. Old Yao's spirit in heaven would feel more at ease if he knew about this."

Father Xu wiped his sore eyes, and inexplicably felt a little complicated: "Mingyue, what a good child, they should have been closer relatives, but... Alas."

"Okay, the children have their own lives. No matter what, Mingyue will always be our child to me, and we have to treat her well."

Mother Xu said, calming herself down: "It's getting late, let's go see them."

The two people walked out of the room and came to the next room which originally belonged to Xu Musen.

The door was not locked. Xu's mother gently turned the doorknob. The moment the door opened, she saw the scene in the room.

Suddenly, he quickly and lightly closed the door again.

"What's wrong with you? Aren't they in the room?" Father Xu asked in confusion.

"Yes, yes... they are busy."

Mother Xu didn't know what to say. These two kids were really something. Although they slept in the same bed when they were young, even if they were childhood sweethearts, they still had to avoid suspicion now that they were so old.

If it were in the past, she would definitely rush in and grab her son and beat him up.

but now……

She remembered what Xu Musen had said to her two days ago.

What if I marry two...

"Wife, what are you talking about?" Father Xu became more and more curious and wanted to open the door to take a look.

"Just don't go..." Mother Xu wanted to stop her, but then she remembered what her son said, and also remembered Yao Mingyue's pale face today. Some of the bottom lines in her heart began to waver.

She gritted her teeth. Since her son was determined to be a scumbag, it seemed that she had to be the "scumbag mother" first.

"Listen, I'm going to let you take a look, but don't say anything, don't make any noise, and don't get angry, got it?"

Mother Xu held the door handle and spoke to Father Xu very seriously.

"It's so mysterious. Okay, I promise you." Father Xu nodded helplessly.

Only then did Xu's mother take a deep breath and open the door a little. Xu's father stretched his neck to look over, and when he saw the two people sleeping in the bed hugging each other, his eyes widened instantly.

"this…"

Mother Xu looked at her shocked husband, adjusted her breathing, and patted her husband on the shoulder: "I know you are shocked now. I was also shocked when I first found out..."

"They... how can this be good? Mu Sen is getting engaged, and Ming Yue..."

"Don't worry, just listen to me."

Mother Xu sighed, "I know. I've already said this to my son. Mu Sen said he would find a way. Let the young people handle their own affairs. All we can do is be good to them, whether it's Mingyue or Nuannuan... We are old and can't make any decisions for them. All we can do is make their lives better."

"But Mu Sen is already engaged to Nuan Nuan, and Nuan Nuan is a good girl. No matter what, we can't let her down."

"I know what you want to say now. I have discussed these things with my son, but there are some things you need to think about seriously. I believe everyone can see Mingyue's feelings for Musen. She has been a stubborn girl since she was a child. Our two families have been through ups and downs for so many years, and we are like a family. Can you really bear to see Mingyue alone in the future?"

Mother Xu felt complicated, but she was a woman of flesh and blood, and at this moment she really felt the kind of feeling that no one could give up.

The last sentence also left Father Xu speechless.

He had long regarded Yao Mingyue as his own half-daughter, especially since he owed her father his life.

If Mingyue really couldn't let it go and lived a lonely life, he would not be able to face her father even if he died...

He opened his mouth, but in the end he could only let out a long sigh.

"Okay, let's just pretend we didn't see anything today. Let's go check out other rooms. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We just need to do our own thing." Mother Xu gently pulled his arm.

Father Xu looked through the crack in the door again, then nodded silently and turned away.

In the room, Xu Musen, who had been dozing with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.

He had very good hearing and he heard everything that came in through the crack in the door.

As expected, my mother is still on my side, helping me to become a "scumbag" and further fueling the flames.

Of course, Xu Musen did it on purpose, just to let at least his mother and father know in advance.

Xu Musen smiled lightly, it was fine this way, so what, he was a scumbag so what, he would bear the infamy, he couldn't just watch any of them be alone.

Looking at the girl who was still sleeping in his arms, Xu Musen gently stroked her cheek: "Actually, I never told you that the strange mouse noise that night was made by me on purpose..."

Xu Musen had a smile on his face.

If you look closely, you can even see a hint of... the same look as when Yao Mingyue was yandere, a slightly sickly and extremely loving expression...

New Year’s Eve is coming soon. I have been driving around all day and finally made it. It’s a two-in-one. Thank you for your support and wish you a happy new year in advance!
