After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Yao Mingyue and her mother were sharpening their knives, figuratively speaking, against Nuannuan.

However, An Nuannuan was like a breath of spring air, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at all the delicious food on the table.

The two recent exchanges saw An Nuannuan emerging victorious without a fight, even turning the situation to her advantage.

She profoundly practiced the great theory of "No guns, no cannons, the enemy will supply us."

Now, the mother-daughter pair became somewhat cautious with their moves.

Yao Mingyue exchanged a quiet glance with her mother.

The gist was,

"Mom, are you really up to this?"

"Of course, after all, I\'ve been through this. I\'ve raised you both, and love affairs are easily handled."

"...didn\'t you only date my dad?"

"That\'s still better than being a single dog like you!"

The mother and daughter criticized each other, their matching phoenix eyes and eyebrows nearly fighting.

"Auntie, what\'s wrong with your and Good Sister\'s eyes?"

An Nuannuan tilted her head from across the table.

Their current squinting and winking resembled the elderly man from the next hospital room who had suffered a stroke and struggled with his left and right hands during her rehabilitation sessions at the hospital.

"Cough... it\'s nothing, the dishes are served, eat up. Xiaosen, don\'t you love eating crabs? This restaurant\'s crabs are famous far and wide. Let Mingyue help you get the meat."

Liu Rushuang diverted the topic while subtly nudging her daughter with her arm.

Yao Mingyue quickly understood, picked up a crab, and with the crab-eating tools beside her, prepared to crack one open for Xu Musen.

"No trouble, I can do it myself."

Xu Musen reached to take one himself, but Liu Rushuang passed him a small bowl of lotus seed soup with a smiling face.

"No rush, try this lotus seed soup first. Military training must have made you overheated, drink some to cool down."

She was buying time for her precious daughter.

With the mother\'s assistance, Xu Musen looked at Yao Mingyue\'s ten fair fingers.

Those hands were perfect for playing the piano, but not for these greasy and detailed tasks.

The little princess had always been spoiled and pampered; eating crabs had always meant Xu Musen peeling them for her.

Now, she struggled a bit as she picked at the crab meat, and the sharp shell occasionally pricked her hand, causing her to frown slightly.

If this had been before, she would have crushed the crab in anger by now.

But now, she patiently and carefully extracted the meat piece by piece.

Xu Musen watched silently, aware that Yao Mingyue was trying to provoke An Nuannuan in this way.

But he couldn\'t deny that she had changed quite a bit.

In the past, she would never have condescended to peel a crab for him.

Stay ahead with m v l em pyr

"Done!"

Yao Mingyue proudly placed the peeled crab meat before Xu Musen. It was actually just the roe and the meat from the belly; she\'d thrown away the legs.

Eating leg meat was such a hassle. Bad habits had to change, and one could get full just as easily on crab roe!

The sight caused a pang in the heart of the waiter serving the table; that crab was worth two or three hundred yuan.

Yao Mingyue placed the plate in front of Xu Musen, the corners of her mouth curved slightly upward.

This was the first time she had peeled a crab for someone. Her phoenix eyes saw the flicker of complexity in Xu Musen\'s eyes just a moment earlier.

She held her chin even higher, as if to say, "Just accept defeat to this lady."

Without me, you can\'t even eat a crab properly.

Honestly, Xu Musen didn\'t expect Yao Mingyue to peel a crab for him proactively.

But... the appearance of the crab meat she peeled was really not too appealing.

Yellow crab roe smeared on greenish crab meat... it kind of had a vibe of Indian street food, so clean and hygienic, brothers!

What a waste of food.

"Huff... huff..."

An Nuannuan from beside him let out panting sounds again.

Xu Musen turned his head and immediately felt she was of even greater concern.

An Nuannuan had been cared for meticulously since a young age. In high school, even the shrimp she ate were peeled for her.

Crabs were no exception.

She fumbled with it, unable to even crack open the most basic shell, and when she tried biting it, she pricked her mouth.

Her soft lips turned red, and she looked at Xu Musen with a pitiful expression.

"I\'ll do it."

Xu Musen casually took the crab from her plate and started skillfully separating the roe and meat, as well as the crab legs, using the crab-eating tools.

The plate was neatly arranged.

His proficient movements made even the server pause in amazement.

The technique seemed even more professional than theirs.

They also stared a bit spellbound at Xu Musen\'s skills.

Liu Rushuang became even more convinced in her heart. They say a man should have "a mighty heart but be gentle enough to smell the roses."

A man who could peel a crab for a girl with such care would definitely play a warm-hearted role in a marriage.

Yao Mingyue had always been a stronger character, and Xu Musen\'s attentiveness would balance her well. Such a couple would be the most harmonious.

The more she looked, the more satisfied she became. She must snatch him up decisively!

"Done."

Xu Musen quickly finished peeling a whole crab.

Not a bit of meat was wasted, it all sat neatly on the plate.

Yao Mingyue compared the neatly appetizing crab meat in Xu Musen\'s hand to what she had peeled.

She suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of defeat.

Was she really less delicate than a man?

"Wow, Xu Musen, you\'re so amazing!"

An Nuannuan\'s eyes shone brightly, her face full of admiration.

"It\'s just peeling a crab, what\'s so impressive about that," Xu Musen said, though his expression still showed he was pleased.
