I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 394 Engagement and the Girl's "Suicide Note"

Shanghai and Haihai.

The meeting between the two families went smoothly.

An Nuannuan's grandparents are people who have seen the world, so naturally there wouldn't be any "vicious in-laws" drama.

Xu's father and mother also kept a good attitude. After all, they were the ones who came to propose a marriage to their son, so they had to give them the best attitude they could.

In addition, they had met each other before, so the atmosphere of communication was very harmonious.

Of course, the only one with a dry face is An Shanhai.

The old father was very attentive and received us with a smile, but one could still sense that he was absent-minded and sighed from time to time.

However, Xu's father and mother could understand. After all, it was their daughter who was getting married, and any parent would feel a little disappointed.

Xu Musen and An Nuannuan came to the kitchen with the food in hand with ease.

One is to provide parents with space to chat.

Secondly...

In the kitchen, Xu Musen had just put down his things and the moment he turned around, the sweet and soft girl jumped into his arms!

An Nuannuan seemed to want to squeeze into Xu Musen's arms. She twitched her upturned little nose, greedily replenishing the scent of Xu Musen as if she was replenishing oxygen.

"Xu Musen, I miss you so much..."

It hasn't been too long since we last saw each other, but An Nuannuan is looking forward to this day every minute and every second.

Xu Musen held her tightly in his arms and gently stroked her soft cheek, which was still the familiar feel.

"How much do you miss it?"

Xu Musen smiled dotingly. Looking at An Nuannuan like this, he couldn't help teasing her.

An Nuannuan pouted her lips slightly, her long eyelashes trembling, looking aggrieved, she said earnestly while counting on her fingers: "When you are not here, I don't want to drink milk tea, eat hot pot, or paint..."

Xu Musen couldn't help but laugh: "It sounds like you lost a lot, do you want me to make it up to you?"

It doesn't sound like there are any sweet words or vows of love.

But for An Nuannuan, painting, drinking milk tea and eating hot pot have become her entire daily life.

An Nuannuan raised her eyes and looked at Xu Musen's cheek, and put all the fingers counting together again: "No, I will drink one less cup of milk tea, eat one less hot pot, and paint one less picture. Then I can use all the time I saved to think about you more. If you calculate it this way... I still make a profit, hehe~"

The girl's childish yet sincere words made Xu Musen feel like his heart was struck.

Xu Musen pinched her cheek gently, and he could feel that she was a little thinner than she was a dozen days ago. However, her bright, watery eyes were still so clear that one glance at them made one feel deeply attracted to them.

This girl is like this. She is not like other girls who would act coquettishly or say sweet things.

But there are always one or two sentences that are serious and can always touch people's deepest hearts.

"Then will you compensate me?" Xu Musen looked at her.

"want!"

An Nuannuan nodded quickly this time: "And interest will be added!"

Xu Musen felt like his heart was about to melt. He held An Nuannuan's soft cheek, lowered his head and kissed her gently: "Is this interest okay?"

"I'm a loan shark, this is not enough..."

An Nuannuan gently pursed her moist pink lips, her beautiful face blushing slightly. She was never as reserved as other girls.

If you want to like someone, then you like them. If you want to kiss someone, then you want to kiss someone.

"You've become a bad person now. You even dare to lend money at high interest rates. Where is the angel-like Nuannuan I used to be?" Xu Musen couldn't help laughing. These words really didn't seem like something the former An Nuannuan would say.

An Nuannuan hummed, and she also reached out her hand and gently held Xu Musen's cheek. Her clear eyes were now shining brighter and even a little cunning: "Didn't you like fishing with your dark friend before?"

"You are talking about He Qiang, right?" Xu Musen nodded with a smile: "What does this have to do with fishing?"

"Yes!"

An Nuannuan blinked her big eyes.

"After you catch the fish, do you feed them?"

"???"

Xu Musen was stunned, looking at An Nuannuan's serious yet slyly complacent expression.

It seems that we are already engaged, so you won’t have the chance to regret it!

No, of course he knew this story, but isn’t it usually used to describe irresponsible scumbags after fishing?
How come he became the caught fish here?

And he didn't know if it was an illusion, but when Xu Musen looked at the cunning in An Nuannuan's eyes, he felt like he was like Yao Mingyue who tricked him into marrying him in the previous life, and her yandere nature was exposed after her evil plan succeeded?

"Nuannuan, you... don't have a basement or something like that at home, right?"

Xu Musen is a bit like a once-bitten-by-a-shy-man. Why does it feel like Nuannuan is becoming more and more like Mingyue?

He was really afraid that one day he would wake up and be tied up by An Nuannuan, and locked up in a dark basement for the rest of his life.

“It seems that there is no such thing.”

An Nuannuan shook her head. Xu Musen was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when her eyes lit up and she said, "But my grandfather has a house that is connected to an air-raid shelter. It is said that one can hide in it for several years without any problem. Even the Japanese can't find it~"

An Nuannuan gestured the size of the air-raid shelter and gave Xu Musen a harmless smile.

Xu Musen swallowed, held An Nuannuan's shoulders, and said seriously: "Nuannuan, this is a new society. Can we stay away from these air-raid shelters in the future? We can't do anything illegal."

Xu Musen felt that he had an obligation to bring An Nuannuan, who was going astray, back on track.

An Nuannuan snuggled in his arms, her delicate face trying not to smile. Humph, she was frightened so easily. He was the foolish one.

Cute pinch~
An Nuannuan looked at him who was so close to her, gently stood on tiptoes, lifted up her slender white neck, and gave him a deep kiss.

The sweet aroma is far more delicious than milk tea. The two people kissed tightly, and the heat was far more heartwarming than hot pot.

"Sister, brother-in-law!"

An Nannan poked her head out from the kitchen door.

In the kitchen, Xu Musen and An Nuannuan immediately separated and wiped each other's lips.

An Nuannuan turned her back to the door, her pretty face flushed, and Xu Musen coughed dryly. Looking at his sister-in-law who ruined the atmosphere, he smiled helplessly and said, "What's wrong?"

An Nannan ran over happily and looked at Xu Musen and her sister, especially at their lips. Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Great! Sister and brother-in-law, you two were actually eating in the kitchen!"

An Nuannuan's ears softened and she almost fell into Xu Musen's arms again.

Xu Musen's face also turned red. He stretched out his hand and flicked his sister-in-law's head: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Your lips are still shiny and greasy. You must have been eating something delicious. I want to eat it too!"

An Nannan, the little foodie, had sparkling eyes and jumped up and down, begging for delicious food.

Xu Musen and An Nuannuan looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

Xu Musen wiped the shine from the corners of his mouth and said, "There are some delicious foods, but they can only be left for your sister."

An Nuannuan's face flushed, and she reached out and hit him lightly.

"Why can't I eat it?" An Nannan pouted her lips in dissatisfaction.

"Because this is exclusive to couples, if you want to eat it, just ask your boyfriend to buy it for you."

Xu Musen laughed, put on an apron and started cooking.

An Nannan snorted twice: "Huh! What's so great about that? I don't want to find a boyfriend. I just want to be with my sister. Anyway, my sister will buy me delicious food. Sister, whatever delicious food you eat, let me have a little taste, just a little bit..."

An Nannan clung to her sister and spoke pitifully.

An Nuannuan touched her sister's head with blushing cheeks, then looked at Xu Musen who was cooking, and licked her lips gently.

This...sister really can't let you taste it.

……

After the meal was served and a few glasses of wine were drunk, An Shanhai, who had been taciturn all the time, finally relaxed a lot.

Father Xu also took the initiative to talk about the engagement of the two.

"The children have told us their ideas. We as parents have no objections. We also like Nuannuan very much. To be honest, I know that our family doesn't care about the engagement, but we will do our best to prepare the best for Nuannuan. We will follow all the customs and rules of the engagement completely and will not let Nuannuan suffer any grievances."

Father Xu took the initiative to bring up this topic.

He understood that given An Nuannuan's family conditions, people naturally didn't care about RVs and the like, and his ordinary family couldn't provide much material security.

But they have to show due respect and etiquette and they would not let the girl suffer even if they had to sell everything they have.

An Shanhai put down his wine glass. As a father himself, he naturally knew the meaning of these words.

In fact, An Shanhai did not insist on marrying his daughter to a family of equal status.

Anyway, he has enough money to support his daughter in wealth and luxury for the rest of her life. Even if the other party is a poor boy, as long as he can be good to Nuannuan and as long as Nuannuan likes him, he as a father can accept it.

As for Xu Musen, he has been observing him secretly for two or three years and witnessed his growth and changes along the way.

From a penniless young man, he has achieved what he has today in just two or three years. Although his foundation is still shallow, it can be said that he is far better than those so-called rich kids.

An Shanhai was very satisfied with him in this regard.

Of course, most importantly, he also knew everything that Xu Musen had done during the years he had been with his daughter, including that night in the hospital many years ago...

This is a very kind boy, and also a very responsible man who knows how to take good care of boys.

It can be said that the reason why An Nuannuan has such a cheerful personality now is all due to Xu Musen, who has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. From this point of view, he has no reason to object.

But there is only one thing...

He looked at his daughter. An Nuannuan and Xu Musen were sitting together, their eyes full of each other. I'm afraid they couldn't wait to follow each other.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, then looked at Xu Musen again.

The words his daughter had said to him in the morning were still ringing in his ears. He finally just sighed deeply, looked at Xu Musen and said, "Musen."

"uncle."

Xu Musen responded immediately.

The two men looked at each other, as if it was an invisible scrutiny between men. In the end, An Shanhai just said one sentence.

"Can you do everything you said before?"

"Will."

Xu Musen also answered promptly and concisely.

Only the future son-in-law and the future father-in-law could understand these two sentences.

An Shanhai raised his glass and raised it towards Xu Musen. Xu Musen picked up the glass, stood up, bent over and clinked glasses with him.

Drink it all in one gulp.

At this moment, Xu's father and mother, grandparents, all had looks of relief and emotion in their eyes.

The engagement has been finalized!

At night, Xu Musen took his parents back to his own community and lived there.

Although they were engaged, Xu Musen didn't let Nuannuan go home with him because his parents were there.

And tonight, my father-in-law, grandparents must have a lot to talk to An Nuannuan about.

Return to the familiar room.

Xu Musen came to the cloakroom and opened the wardrobe in one of the compartments, revealing a spotless white wedding dress.

It was the one that I tried on with An Nuannuan last time. After careful modification, it fits An Nuannuan perfectly.

Xu Musen stood in front of the wardrobe and looked at it for a long time. On the wedding day, An Nuannuan would definitely look stunning in this outfit.

Return to the bedroom.

Xu Musen picked up his phone and sent a message to Yao Mingyue, but there was no reply yet.

The phone call was never answered.

Xu Musen could predict that this yandere would be jealous and angry, but it was rare for her not to answer the phone.

Xu Musen could only call Liu Rushuang.

The call was not connected for a long time, and Xu Musen felt something was wrong. On the last call, the call was finally connected.

"Hey, Komori."

"Mom, are you guys asleep now? Why did you take so long to answer the phone?"

"Ah...it's okay, it's okay. I was just taking a bath and didn't have my phone with me."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Rushuang's voice sounded a little tired and nasal. Xu Musen could tell: "Mom, are you feeling unwell?"

"Maybe I have a slight cold. It's cold during the New Year. It's okay... Well, are you doing well in Shanghai? Are your family members giving you any trouble?"

"Well, everything is fine. The engagement has been decided."

"Ah... that's good."

Liu Rushuang paused for a moment, then said with a complicated smile: "Xiao Sen has really grown up, and will soon have his own family."

"Mom, I just sent a message to Mingyue and she didn't reply. I was worried so I called to ask."

"Oh... Mingyue, she just finished taking a shower and should be drying her hair. I'll tell her later. You should also go to bed early and take care of your own affairs. Mingyue and I are fine."

"Well, okay, then mom, you guys should take care of yourself and wait for us to come back."

Hang up.

However, Xu Musen felt that something was slightly wrong.

He picked up his phone and looked at it. Yao Mingyue still hadn't replied to the message. Just when he was thinking about whether to make another call.

"Ding~"

The sound of the message reminder.

Message from Yao Mingyue.

"Just spend some time with your little fiancée. I hate fickle scumbags the most. Even if you send me messages these days, I won't pay any attention to you!"

Hearing this familiar tone, the uneasy feeling in Xu Musen's heart finally disappeared.

He read it several times and finally replied, "Wait until I get back."

"Tsk, whether you want to come back or not, I don't care. Okay, I'm going to bed, Xiao Xuzi, you can leave."

Xu Musen smiled. No one else could say such a proud and arrogant tone except her.

"Cha~"

……

At this moment, Zhengcheng.

On this side of the chat history, on this side of the mobile phone screen, the person sending the message is Liu Rushuang.

The cell phone belonged to Yao Mingyue, but at this moment Yao Mingyue was lying on the hospital bed, still in a coma.

She was pale and wearing a hospital gown, like a sleeping beauty. The lack of blood on her face gave her a broken beauty.

Liu Rushuang caressed her daughter's cheek lovingly.

And at the head of Yao Mingyue's bed, there was a diary filled with Yao Mingyue's handwriting.

The message that Liu Rushuang sent to Xu Musen just now contained two of them.

Upon closer inspection, there is more.

For example, "How to reply to him saying good morning."

"Ten sentences to say if he asks me what I'm doing."

"When I'm unhappy, here are three true words I'll say to him."

"Sometimes I want to say a few words to you in a coquettish way (Mom, please don't read)..."

It is almost filled with content on how to talk to Xu Musen, and almost every sentence is so natural and appropriate.

Without more than ten years, or even dozens of years of getting along with each other, it would be impossible to have such tacit understanding.

This diary was given to her by her daughter before she fainted, saying that if Xu Musen asked her about it, she should use the words above to respond to him.

That fool won't be able to see the flaw.

After all, there is no one else besides Yao Mingyue who is so arrogant and unreasonable...

The more Liu Rushuang read, the more heartbroken she became. How could this be an encyclopedia of conversation?

This is clearly another kind of... suicide note.

"Silly girl..."

Liu Rushuang's tone was complicated, and she also felt a bit indignant for her daughter.

As for her own daughter, Liu Rushuang would rather she could be selfish all her life than read a diary like this one.

From the above words, Liu Rushuang could feel how much her daughter loved him.

That is the love that goes deep into the bone marrow and penetrates the soul.

Liu Rushuang exited the chat history, but saw her daughter’s phone wallpaper, which was also a photo of the two of them.

Both of them were still wearing their high school uniforms. On the sunny day of June, graduation season, the two of them leaned on each other's shoulders, their smiles as bright as blooming gardenias. No matter how you looked at them, they looked like a match made in heaven.

Liu Rushuang's eyes were sore as she stroked her daughter's pale cheek on the hospital bed.

"Daughter, did you hear that? He is really engaged..."

Liu Rushuang shook her head. She looked at the photo of the two of them on her phone wallpaper and the conversations recorded in her diary.

At this moment, it seems as if I really saw those two young people bickering with each other, yet being so sweet to each other that they can’t be separated from each other.

Liu Rushuang almost couldn't help but tell Xu Musen just now. She understood Xu Musen's character. If he knew Yao Mingyue's current situation, he would definitely drop everything and rush back.

But Liu Rushuang knows Xu Musen, and Yao Mingyue knows him even better.

So her last words before she fainted were "Don't tell him... I don't want to delay him anymore because of me..."

Liu Rushuang's eyes were filled with bitter tears and she caressed her daughter's cold cheek lovingly.

"This little bastard, you are still so nice to him, did he save your life in your previous life..."

Here I come, don’t worry, I have a knife, but I will definitely not stab anyone stupidly, believe me in my ending.
