After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"What? I can't hear you."

"Coo coo, guu..."

An Nannan imitated the sound of a pigeon, showing her last bit of stubbornness.

Xu Musen didn't tease her any longer and handed her the milk tea.

An Nannan's face turned slightly red as she finally accepted it with satisfaction.

"Nuannuan, you guys are here."

At that moment, Aunt Xiang also came out, greeted them, and walked with them towards the inside.

Before reaching the room, they saw an elder dressed in white practice clothes practicing Tai Chi.

The courtyard was also filled with wooden piles, some dummy targets, and even a weapon rack on one side, with several kinds of weapons displayed on it.

Although they were clearly for show, which average household would have these things?

"Grandpa."

An Nuannuan called out.

The elder stopped his Tai Chi movements. His precise age was indiscernible, though his temples were white; he was full of vigor, with a Tai Chi stance steadier than many young people.

"Nuannuan is back, and this child must be the friend you've been mentioning, right?"

The elder's face showed a kind smile as he approached them, his goatee adding a bit of an immortal master's aura.

In a martial arts novel, he would probably be the character of a sweeping monk.

"Grandpa, my name is Xu Musen."

Xu Musen said with a slight bow.

The old man walked over, circled around Xu Musen, nodded, and even patted his shoulder like an elder: "You have a good frame, excellent material. Don't be reserved, once you're here, you're family. Hurry in."

The old man seemed pretty warm, with all this patting and examining.

It felt like he was at a market, selecting pigs or horses...

Once they entered the living room.

An Nuannuan's grandmother had already brewed the tea. Although she was already a grandmother,

one could tell she was someone who had lived a life of luxury over the years, with an elegance that no nouveau riche could match.

Her silver hair glistened as she wore spectacles, smiling and inviting Xu Musen to sit.

"Young man, long time no see."

"Grandma, I've been wanting to visit for a while, and I finally got the chance today."

"It's not too far from your school. You should come by more often when you're free."

Grandmother said kindly.

"These things..."

At that moment, Aunt Xiang noticed the items Xu Musen brought, only to find out they were ingredients.

Xu Musen stood up and explained: "It's my first visit and I truly wasn't sure what gift to bring, but I also didn't want to come empty-handed, so I thought maybe I could cook a meal for you and grandpa."

"How can we let you do that? You're the guest."

"It's no trouble at all, actually. I quite enjoy cooking, and Nuannuan has already told me about everyone's preferences. I'm pretty confident in my culinary skills."

Xu Musen said, smiling as he began to unpack the groceries.

"I'll help you!"

An Nuannuan eagerly offered to assist Xu Musen.

"Okay."

Xu Musen nodded. In the milk tea shop, the two of them would often make milk tea together when they had nothing else to do.

Essentially, any "by-products" from cutting fruits were devoured by An Nuannuan, the fully automatic classified glutton trash can.

She just wanted to taste the very first bite.

The two went to the kitchen, and through the transparent glass kitchen door, they worked in harmony.

Xu Musen would always feed An Nuannuan the first bite of every dish with practised ease and indulgence.

And the look on the granddaughter's face, eyes squinting while chewing her food—something seemed a bit off.

The elders looked at each other.

"Old man, what do you think of this young man?"

Grandma suddenly asked.

"His physique is good, walks steadily, feet as firm as nails; clearly a well-established young man with child-like prowess—a great martial arts prospect," praised the old man while stroking his beard in approval.

Grandma listened with a bit of helplessness: "I'm asking you, if this young fellow were to be with Nuannuan, what would you think of it?"

The old man pondered for a moment before he spoke, "What can we say about young people's affairs? As long as... huh? You're saying our granddaughter is in a relationship with this boy?!"

The old master finally realized it. Just like being a father, the moment he heard someone taking an interest in his family's "precious cabbage," he immediately became excited.

"Keep it down. It's just that this is the first time Nuannuan has been so close to a boy. Plus, Nuannuan is at the age to date. We can't control her forever, life is unpredictable," he said.

Grandma sighed. Although they were in good health, they were old after all, and it was uncertain if they would live to see grandkids.

"This young man seems decent, but Nuannuan has never had much contact with others. What if she gets cheated..."

The old master's initial approval instantly set a new standard, but before he could finish his sentence, Grandma handed him a document.

He looked at it, and it was unmistakably a hospital admission signature form.

"Yao Sheng, Xu Bianjun, seriously injured in a car accident, emergency department at Zheng University First Affiliate... What is this?"

"Do you remember six years ago, Nuannuan also received treatment at this hospital? The night before her surgery, she suddenly received a cake. Nuannuan has always wanted to find the boy who sent her that cake," she explained.

A glint appeared in the old man's eyes: "Are you saying, the boy who sent Nuannuan the cake back then was this young man?"

Grandma adjusted her glasses and began, "I was actually checking this young man's background to see how to invest in him appropriately. It turned out his family used to own a company too, but it went bankrupt suddenly six years ago. Following the investigation, I stumbled upon this car accident. Moreover, that day was the birthday of a girl named Yao Mingyue, and the timing fits perfectly."

"This..."

"And Nuannuan suddenly transferring to Zheng City No.4 Middle School might also be because she knew something. Otherwise, given her personality, she wouldn't get close to someone so quickly, especially after what happened with her mom..."

Upon reaching this point, Grandma couldn't help but sigh.

The old master also looked towards the kitchen, where An Nuannuan, though not much help, thoroughly enjoyed tagging along with Xu Musen.

He sighed silently to himself. Girls grow up and won't stay with you forever, the day will come eventually.

Xu Musen cooked quite a few dishes. In his previous life, he had lived with Yao Mingyue in Hu Hai for a long time and had a good grasp of Hu Hai's culinary preferences.

You couldn't count on An Nuannuan for carrying dishes.

Meanwhile, An Nuannuan brought over the milk tea and fruit tea she had brought back for her grandparents.

"Xu Musen and I made this together. Grandpa and Grandma, please try it," she said with eager anticipation for their tasting.

"These things aren't very healthy, drink less in the future, okay?"

"Not at all, Xu Musen and I opened the store together. All the fruits inside are the freshest!" An Nuannuan countered proudly.

"You and he opened a store together?"

Grandma caught on to the key point in that statement.

"Yes, Xu Musen gave me a milk tea shop, and we've already gotten the paperwork done," Nuannuan said as she took out the transfer certificate from her small purse.

Grandma took a look. An Nuannuan's equity stake was 51%, and Xu Musen was listed as the legal representative.

That shareholding, as long as it reaches 51% or more, means real control.

And the status of legal representative is essentially taking the fall if trouble arises.

This young man genuinely gave An Nuannuan the milk tea shop, and he chose to keep the role of legal representative for himself.

Grandma silently looked at Xu Musen, who was preparing to serve the food in the kitchen.

She speculated as well.

It seems that this young man knew that the investment was his own doing, and this is his way of repaying the favor.

Such gratefulness charmed her even more.

Moreover, watching her granddaughter's "proud little boss" expression,

the gift really reached the bottom of her heart.

After all, it wasn't about money, but a sentiment of striving and preparing together.

"Thank you for waiting!"

Xu Musen came over with the dishes, presenting a table full of meals as appetizing in look as in smell.

The two sisters had sparkling eyes from the aromas.

Aunt Xiang couldn't resist praising.

Even the two elders hadn't expected the young man to cook so well.

At their stage in life, money was no longer the main concern.

If it came to choosing a son-in-law, their top requirement would be their granddaughter's happiness after marriage.

Being able to cook is a bonus for anyone, man or woman.

Looking at Xu Musen, the elders found themselves even more impressed.

Good height and looks, nice personality and character, clean family background, self-driven, and most importantly, truly nice to Nuannuan...

It's just that there was one unexpected factor.

This young man also had a childhood sweetheart with whom he was deeply involved...
