After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 1003 - 403: Yao Mingyue’s Farewell Letter (6k Subscription Request!)

...

This year's Huhai isn't particularly cold. On the Bund's riverside, a gentle breeze blows, and the fireworks in the sky are brilliant, just like an old-fashioned camera capturing the moment.

Each burst of fireworks that flickered reflected on their cheeks, and in that light and shadow, Yao Mingyue's expression shifted from unwillingness, to despair, to surprise, and disbelief, her eyes misty with tears...

Just like an old photo imprinted on film.

Xu Musen silently watched her, looking at the girl who was once so high and mighty, proud and willful all her life.

She used to be domineering and unreasonable, with an aggressive brightness in her eyes.

But now, her face was pale, her figure thin, her gaze evasive, and the corners of her eyes red, no longer the radiant self she once was.

The contrast was striking.

Perhaps Yao Mingyue herself could hardly recognize who she was now.

The two of them quietly looked at each other for a long time.

In the past life, Yao Mingyue was full of nobility and carried a predatory aggression, keeping the impoverished Xu Musen by her side.

But now, Xu Musen, in a well-fitted suit, exuded a sunny and noble aura. Just by standing there, he gave off an impression of unapproachable distance.

In contrast, she...

Her figure was frail and thin, her face pale and tired, her eyes filled with cowardice and sadness, lacking any of her former brilliance.

At this moment, she seemed like a gray princess. In front of the prince she loved, she no longer dared to confess her feelings boldly but turned and fled...

"Are you really not planning to say anything to me?"

Xu Musen took a step closer, a smile on his face, as if greeting an old friend on an ordinary morning.

Yao Mingyue recovered after a long time, looking at his warm smile, but she averted her reddened gaze and subconsciously stepped back half a pace: "You, you shouldn't be here now..."

"When honored guests come, of course, I must step out to greet them. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Xu Musen took another step forward and extended his hand towards Yao Mingyue.

Faced with his outstretched hand, Yao Mingyue stepped back two more steps. She looked at the brightly lit hall behind Xu Musen, still filled with the joyous sounds of people drinking and chatting.

At this moment, they seemed so out of place on this dim beach.

She forced a smile.

"No, I shouldn't ruin the good day between you and Nuannuan..."

"How could that be? The more, the merrier."

Xu Musen smiled and took another step forward.

"Xu Musen, are you really this naive? What girl wants their rival at their engagement party?"

Yao Mingyue gritted her teeth, and in her agitation, she coughed.

Xu Musen paused, thought for a moment, then nodded: "I suppose that's true..."

But then Xu Musen suddenly smiled, took another step closer, and said, "But haven't we not yet divorced? Shouldn't you, as the ex-wife, be here to offer some advice?"

Yao Mingyue tightened her lips. Seeing his shameless expression, her heart was filled with both sorrow and anger: "Scumbag!"

She cursed, then stepped back three more steps, keeping her distance from him. She knew Xu Musen was deliberately provoking her, but reason told her that if she followed him now...

All the resolutions she had made over these days would be for naught.

It might even affect his future with An Nuannuan, a burden she couldn't bear for the rest of her life.

She bit her lip, keeping her distance from the person she had longed for day and night: "Xu Musen... today is the most important day for you both. And as a woman, I understand how important this day is for a girl. Please, don't let me cause any more trouble..."

She spoke resolutely, but her teary eyes were already brimmed, and each word seemed filled with farewell.

"So, you kept it from me just to leave without saying goodbye today?"

Xu Musen did not step forward. His gentle eyes now carried a depth.

Yao Mingyue clutched her stifling chest. This decision took all the courage she had left. Remembering the outcome of the past life, her heart ached with an unbearable sourness.

"Since you know everything, you should understand that this is the best outcome... You have the life you love, the person you love. You no longer have to worry about being entangled by me, the unreasonable person who disrupts everything..."

Yao Mingyue bit her lips hard, her pale lips noticeably tinged with red, evoking a deep sense of pity.

Xu Musen looked at her but suddenly laughed: "Since you knew this day would come, since you knew you would change my life, you shouldn't have appeared before me in the first place!"

His tone had transitioned from the warmth of a sunny summer day to the biting chill of winter winds. He stared intently at Yao Mingyue and took a step forward, one step for every sentence: "If you truly didn't want to disturb me, you shouldn't have reentered my world when I chose a new life, shouldn't have applied to the same school as me, shouldn't have forced your way into my life under the guise of being a childhood friend, shouldn't have helped me when I was facing a crisis, shouldn't have jumped into the lake to save me despite the danger!

And you certainly shouldn't have come here, showing me your face after deciding to leave quietly!"

The girl's already pale cheeks turned even whiter, tears welling in her eyes. Faced with Xu Musen, who had come so close, she stumbled back instinctively: "I, I'm sorry..."

Backing up, she bumped into the railing by the riverside. Unable to retreat further and unable to meet his gaze, she turned her head, not wanting him to see her tears.
