After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 17 "I bought the pajamas."

Gu Yu put down his phone, raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Hmm." He nodded. He hadn't taken the marriage with You Sijia to heart before. People don't have expectations or anxieties about things that are already set in stone.

Zhang Qi: "Actually, this is fine. You didn't like it anyway, right? Now that you're back in China, Tang Yayi is also in China. I heard you two are still in contact? Last week I saw on her WeChat Moments that you two even had dinner together?"

If it were before, Gu Yu might have been able to laugh it off, but considering that You Sijia had heard from somewhere that he had met Tang Yayi, she decisively rejected the marriage proposal from both families that night.

Gu Yu did not believe that the You family's decision to switch to the Meng family through marriage was due to You Sijia's father's arbitrary decision.

Yuska was somewhat spoiled and pampered by her family. Uncle Yu would never force her to do anything she said no to.

So, in the final analysis, it all comes down to Yustya's unwillingness.

"It's impossible for me to be with her." Gu Yu frowned as Zhang Qi mentioned Tang Yayi.

Zhang Qi: "Why is it impossible? I heard that she hasn't had a boyfriend in China for the past two years since you broke up with her. Maybe the talented Tang is waiting for you to come back."

Gu Yu picked up the wine glass in front of him, tilted his head back, and gulped it down.

Seeing this, Zhang Qi quickly reached out to stop him, but it was too late.

"This is baijiu, young master, take it easy. Do you think this is whiskey?" Zhang Qi advised helplessly.

It's unclear whether Gu Yu took his words to heart. He leaned back in his chair. When he broke up with Tang Yayi, he never thought about getting back together or rekindling their relationship.

But what's the point of saying all this to Zhang Qi now?

Yuska slept until dusk.

Because of Gu Yu, she put her phone on silent mode before going to bed. Meng Weiyuan sent her a message after his meeting, but You Sijia didn't see it.

Yustia was jolted awake when she heard the sound of the door opening.

It was because she wasn't in her home in Nancheng, where she had lived for many years, that she was easily awakened by the slightest sound outside.

Yusjia sat up in bed, her eyes still a little dazed when she first woke up.

When Yuska saw who was standing in front of her, she immediately became much more alert.

Meng Weiyuan didn't expect that You Sijia was still sleeping when he arrived. He had called You Sijia on his way, but she didn't answer. He assumed that she was already up and getting ready and hadn't received his call, so he sent a message saying when he would arrive home.

"Sorry." Meng Weiyuan's hand was still on the doorknob. You Sijia, sitting on the wedding bed, seemed to have become even smaller. She was hugging the quilt, revealing her two snow-white arms. Her long, seaweed-like hair was spread over her shoulders. She looked innocently pure, yet exceptionally alluring. "I'll go out first," Meng Weiyuan said.

Yuska finally realized, "Hey!"

Upon hearing Meng Weiyuan say that he was going out, You Sijia subconsciously called out to him, "No need, come in."

This room is so big, what would it look like if she kicked Meng Weiyuan out?
As Yuska thought this, she slowly got up from the bed.

During her lunch break today, she took a two-piece silk pajama set from the walk-in closet. Now, Yusjia draped the outer robe over herself and casually started a conversation, saying, "Are all the clothes in the walk-in closet bought by Auntie? They're quite comfortable."

Since the owners haven't officially moved in yet, there aren't many clothes prepared in the walk-in closet, but it's convenient for Yuska to change and wash clothes.

Moreover, she genuinely felt that Mencius's mother's preferences were very similar to her own.

As Yusjia spoke, she had already gone to the dressing room next door and didn't see the expression on Meng Weiyuan's face. "No."

As Yusjia took off her gold-threaded yellow silk pajamas in the dressing room, she heard Meng Weiyuan's reply from outside.

"I bought it."

Yuska's hand, which was changing into a denim dress, froze in mid-air.

Yustia: "..."

Looking down at the pajamas she had taken off, still warm from her body, she suddenly felt her body temperature slowly rising.

what?
Yu Sijia thought she had misheard. Did Meng Weiyuan really buy all of this for her?

The result was so unexpected that Yuska didn't know how to react for a long time.

When she walked out of the dressing room, her face still had a light pink tinge.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Yusjia muttered as she came out.

Looking at her bare face, which hadn't been made up since her afternoon nap, Meng Weiyuan couldn't help but think that she looked even younger. When he heard You Sijia's words, his brows twitched slightly. "What did you say? Did I buy these pajamas?"

Before Yousja could answer, Meng Weiyuan explained to himself, "I thought you knew."

Yustia: "How should I know!?"

She looked up, her large eyes filled with shock.

Meng Weiyuan's fingers twitched slightly. "Even if she were my mother, it would be too intimate for her to buy you something like this."

How could he possibly let someone else buy pajamas for his fiancée?
This is something that cannot be even considered.

Perhaps it was because Meng Weiyuan's words were so natural, but You Sijia's face suddenly turned bright red.

She was speechless after Meng Weiyuan's words. Although she really wanted to ask him in return, does that mean that a grown man like him wouldn't be intimate with her if he bought her something?

It's clear she hasn't adapted to the role she's about to take on, but Meng Weiyuan is already doing so.

That evening, Meng Weiyuan took You Sijia to a Japanese restaurant. On the way, Meng Weiyuan asked her if there was anything else she needed to buy for her home, and You Sijia listed a few items on her fingers.

"That's all?" Meng Weiyuan asked.

“Okay.” Yusjia nodded. “I’ll bring over the clothes, bags, jewelry and other things from my home in Nancheng later.”

Meng Weiyuan: "Going to New York next month?"

The topic jumped a bit too quickly, and Yuska was still a little caught up. She nodded, "Yeah, there's a fashion show, I'd like to go see it."

Just then, Meng Weiyuan drove to the parking lot. Upon hearing this, he took out a card from his bag and handed it to You Sijia.

"Keep Nancheng's clothes at home. We'll be going back after the wedding." Meng Weiyuan had no intention of restricting You Sijia's stay in Beijing. Besides, his fiancée was still quite young and had been pampered since childhood. He'd heard that during her studies abroad, she practically wanted to come home every week; she was very homesick. Meng Weiyuan didn't want her to do any housework. He had a housekeeper for daily life, and he could manage his work on his own. He didn't need his wife to be a good wife. You Sijia's life was the same before marriage. "Buy anything else you want with this card and leave it at home."
