After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 490 - 226: Actually, You’ve Been Freeloading Off Me for Quite a While Now.

Zheng City.

Familiar cityscapes came into view, successively passing Central Plains Futa and Dayu Building.

Even though Xu Musen had planned to stay in Huhai from now on, it was only upon entering Zheng City that he felt a sense of solidity.

Here, nobody would call him a country bumpkin; but it was very easy to fail in keeping his...aunt safe.

Looking at the familiar streets, Yao Mingyue’s mood seemed to have improved a lot. Especially when passing the road they used to walk together after school, her lips were constantly curved in a smile, and many memories surfaced in her mind.

When they passed a snack street, it happened to be the time when students were let out of school, and students dressed in blue and white uniforms instantly flooded the street, making it impassable.

Many snacks that were not seen in Huhai also wafted their familiar scents.

Hairy eggs, starch sausages, and some small sodas, were all full of memories. The sidewalk bustled with life, not as glamorous as Huhai, but with its own unique charm.

Xu Musen was ready to cook a meal for his parents, to let the old couple taste his cooking skills.

Xu Musen parked the car by the roadside, and got out with Yao Mingyue to head for the vegetable market to buy groceries.

"Musen, do you still remember this road?"

Getting out of the car, Yao Mingyue pointed to the students queuing up to buy snacks outside. Her eyebrows and eyes were tender, and there was a glint of reminiscence in her eyes: "You used to buy me a lot of tasty things every day."

Of course, Musen remembered. Back when they were in school, he would always spend his allowance to buy snacks for Yao Mingyue.

Of course, after those things happened at home,

the little snacks Musen sent her changed from exquisite chocolates and small cakes to roadside grilled sausages and meatballs.

Looking at the boys and girls in school uniforms on the streets,

Musen glimpsed the image of his former self, but now it was not them wearing the uniforms.

Although it had only been half a year, they could already tell that they were different from before.

Musen looked at the Audi car key in his hand, and the students passing by also showed curiosity and envy when they saw the Audi emblem.

Musen felt a bit nostalgic, for just a year ago, his pocket would rarely contain more than a few tens of dollars in spending money.

Buying a grilled sausage would involve an internal struggle.

But now, he had achieved snack independence, yet looking at those snacks he used to drool over, especially the one-yuan grilled sausages, he didn’t feel the same craving as before.

"Miss Yao certainly wouldn’t miss these things now, would she?"

In the past, whenever Yao Mingyue received snacks from Musen, she was always happy, and she would share her own snacks with him as well.

Actually... sometimes, Yao Mingyue would hand over half-eaten grilled chicken legs or half-bitten meatballs that she couldn’t finish to Musen.

Musen was very willing, for, to the old him – avid in acting like a lovestruck fool – this was an excellent opportunity for an indirect kiss with his goddess.

Thinking back, Musen felt a bit sleazy...

But such things certainly didn’t appeal to her anymore.

However, Yao Mingyue held her cheeks in her hands, the corners of her mouth lifting with a hint of mirth: "But isn’t it someone who especially loved eating these? And also quite liked the ones I left my saliva on~"

Yao Mingyue fluttered her phoenix eyes, revealing a slyness akin to that of a fox at this moment.

Her words struck directly at the most shameful part of Musen’s heart.

Musen’s face turned red, and he gave a dignified cough: "Don’t falsely accuse me!"

"Am I falsely accusing you?"

Yao Mingyue laughed even more joyfully: "Then why would you always skip the whole snacks and only want the ones I left?"

"I am against food wastage. We’ve only had enough to eat for a few years. Do you know that in the days of famine, a single steamed bun could save a person’s life?"

Musen spoke with conviction, his reasoning sound.

Yao Mingyue just watched him and laughed, saying nothing, but her joy was evident.

Musen simply ignored her.

It was a petty matter from years past, not worth digging up again.

"Musen, I want to eat grilled sausage."

Yao Mingyue tugged at the hem of his clothes.

"We will have dinner when we get home."

"No, I want to eat this now. I am still a patient, and you need to take care of me!"

"Miss Yao, even as a patient, you should eat less junk food."

Yao Mingyue cocked her head to the side and chuckled softly: "That’s right, now that we have money, the snacks I once craved but couldn’t afford have become junk food. Men are like that, forgetting the old love for a new one; it’s alright, after all, I’ll be treated like trash and tossed aside, just like the snacks..."

As Yao Mingyue spoke, she even began to raise her hand to touch the nonexistent tears at the corner of her eyes.

Musen listened and felt that things were getting off track, observing her increasingly aggrieved tone and her indirect accusations.

Her body hadn’t completely recovered, still showing a slightly unhealthy flush, and with the band-aid on her hand, she looked even more pitiable. To onlookers, it appeared as if Musen were a domestic abuser who wasn’t even willing to buy his wife a grilled sausage.

"Alright, alright, I’ll go buy it for you, okay?"

Musen surrendered. Ever since the incident a few days ago, Musen hadn’t managed to maintain a firm stance with her.

And Yao Mingyue was becoming more adept at wielding soft power to manipulate people.

From sickly cute to subtly manipulative...

"You just sit in the car and rest."

Musen didn’t let her get out of the car, fearing the strong wind outside might cause her to catch a cold again.
