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

Chapter 21: Coquettish
When Yu Sijia was driven to the underground parking lot by Meng Weiyuan, she got out of the car and found that the man sitting in the driver's seat also got out.

“You don’t need to send me up; I can find my way myself,” Yustya said.

She thought this was thoughtful, but Meng Weiyuan had already strode towards the elevator. "It's okay, it's just a short walk. I'll walk you up."

Yusijia pouted behind him, thinking he was just being a chauvinist.

However, Yuska lost that thought after the elevator reached the ground.

There's really no need to complain.

Yusjia subtly moved closer to Meng Weiyuan and reached out to grab the man's sleeve.

"Take me back to Sixi Courtyard."

Yuska said that this was a completely different story than when she was in the underground parking lot, where she made the man not have to escort her up.

Meng Weiyuan's lips curled slightly, then quickly flattened.

He looked down at Yustya, who was now timidly approaching him like a little hamster, and asked with a smile, "Can't find your way?"

These words earned him a glare from Yuska.

Of course, the way can be found, but, but...

No one told her that at night, the courtyard house was surrounded by heavy shadows of trees, and even with lights on, it looked a bit scary because the house was deserted!

She is very afraid of the dark.

Yuska retorted stubbornly, "How could I not find it? You should hurry up and lead the way."

Meng Weiyuan chuckled, looking at his fiancée who wished she could hide herself behind him, and reached out to pull Yu Sijia's small hand, which was tugging at his sleeve, into his palm.

"Let's go," Meng Weiyuan said in a low voice.

His voice was somewhat mellow, always calm and composed, giving people a sense of security.

Now, Yu Sijia doesn't know whether it's because Meng Weiyuan's voice sounds reassuring, or because the hand holding hers is dry and warm, making her feel at ease.

Anyway, the darkness around me has become less frightening.

The courtyard house in the hutong was actually quite bright, but its design was modeled after the gardens of Jiangnan, with many shrubs and towering trees. A summer night breeze blew by, the rustling of leaves seeming to come from all directions, and Yusjia couldn't help but curl her fingers.

She didn't realize that her hand was in Meng Weiyuan's large palm, and this small movement felt like scratching the man's palm.

Meng Weiyuan: "..."

Looking at his fiancée who was completely oblivious to his surroundings, his Adam's apple bobbed, but he ultimately said nothing.

Meng Weiyuan escorted You Sijia to the bedroom. As soon as he stepped into the room, he paused slightly.

It's quite a magical thing, actually.

He had visited the new house in the alleyway a few times because of some details in the decoration and design. After everything was properly arranged, Meng Weiyuan also came twice. The room always exuded a faint smell of raw wood.

But Yusjia only took a nap in the room today. The sweet smell in the room seemed to linger. As soon as he entered, he was enveloped by the sweet scent.

A feeling I hadn't experienced in over twenty years seemed to sprout in my heart.

"Then you should get some rest." After dropping her off, Meng Weiyuan prepared to leave. Although he and You Sijia were engaged, they weren't married yet, and it would be inconvenient for him to stay in the bedroom.

Yu Sijia glanced at the bedroom, which was as big as her bedroom in Nancheng. The difference was that in Nancheng, she knew that Yu Kuiqing lived downstairs from her, and her parents lived in the whole house. But now, in this big house, she was all alone.

So, just as Meng Weiyuan turned to leave, You Sijia once again reached out without hesitation and grabbed the hem of the man's suit.

"Don't leave!" Yuska snorted.

She looked up and met Meng Weiyuan's eyes without any fear in her eyes.

Since I've already embarrassed myself once, it's not a big deal if I admit now that I'm afraid to sleep alone.

"Wait until I fall asleep before you leave," Yustia said coquettishly.

She has a somewhat arrogant and domineering demeanor, yet her natural and charming arrogance makes it impossible to get angry at her.

Meng Weiyuan lowered his eyes and looked down at the small, snow-white hand that was clutching the nails. The light pink nails looked rather round and cute, just like their owner, very delicate.

"Afraid?" Meng Weiyuan asked.

After hesitating for a moment, You Sijia nodded obediently. Before Meng Weiyuan could speak again, she began to complain, "This place is too big, and no one lives here. It's normal for me to be scared, right? Also, the Forbidden City is right next door. Wouldn't there be no one there at night?"

Yusya muttered, as if to prove that fear was a normal feeling that everyone should have.

Upon hearing this, Meng Weiyuan couldn't help but frown.

He hadn't thought of that.

The reason why we bought this courtyard house in the alley and hired many designers to draw up designs and then renovated it as our new home was because it was located in the bustling city, but it was a true "quiet oasis in the midst of the hustle and bustle".

There was absolutely no need to worry about noise, and the environmental monitoring was excellent, not to mention the security. However, the one thing Meng Weiyuan hadn't considered was that his fiancée might be timid and delicate, and wouldn't dare to live alone at home.

After Yu Sijia finished speaking, she stared openly at Meng Weiyuan's face.

She thought that if Meng Weiyuan didn't agree, she would... make a scene!
If a man can't even fulfill such a small wish before marriage, what's the point of having him?

Seeing Meng Weiyuan frown, You Sijia was about to huff in dissatisfaction.

The next moment, Meng Weiyuan's voice reached her ears first.

"it is good."

Yu Sijia made a sound of surprise. Judging from Meng Weiyuan's expression, she thought the man would refuse.

“This place is indeed not very convenient. If you don’t want to live here after the wedding, how about we look at another house?” Meng Weiyuan wasn’t being sarcastic. He quickly added, “There are a few other houses that are also new, but they haven’t been renovated yet. I’ll have someone send them to you to take a look…”

Yuska opened her mouth, her eyes slightly glazed over.

“…Wait a minute.” She interrupted Meng Weiyuan, she didn’t want to make a big fuss about moving houses!

How did it come to the point where we need to buy a new house?

Meng Weiyuan looked at the person in front of him with focused attention, gesturing for You Sijia to continue.

Yu Sijia couldn't help but swallow hard. If her father knew that she had come to Beijing to check if there were any small items she needed to add to the new house, and that she had only been there for less than a day before wanting to move to a new house, she wondered if he would be so angry that he would fly directly from Nancheng to Beijing the next day.
How could Meng Weiyuan be like this!
Why would she not only not stop someone from "killing" someone, but also help them "set fire"?
This is not what she expected.
