After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 585 - 261: Past and Present Lives, Are They Really That Important?_2
But this is actually a display of affection for themselves, because liking someone means wanting to be with them so you can make them happier and more fulfilled, not just to make yourself feel more ’complete,’ because he is a person, not a toy.
An Nuannuan’s voice was equally soft, but it no longer had the usual naive appearance, and those big eyes seemed to sparkle with the seriousness of different ages.
This sentence, like a knife of truth, caused Yao Mingyue to feel a stabbing pain in her heart.
Her face turned pale, and her eyes slightly downcast.
Yet An Nuannuan continued to speak in a low murmur.
"Actually, I hate myself too... If I had been braver before, maybe we wouldn’t have had to wait until now.
I used to be so envious of you, childhood sweethearts, with such good family relations, and he has always liked you so much. I didn’t dare to disturb, and I couldn’t let go, I could only secretly watch you both, but later... I also understood.
Liking someone has nothing to do with all these things, it’s enough for me to know that I like him, even though I don’t have the status of a childhood sweetheart, even if our families don’t know each other, and even if he may not remember me anymore, but what does it matter? As long as I like him, that’s enough. I think...
he has always been looking forward to someone who can truly like him, thankfully, I finally waited."
By the end, An Nuannuan’s lips curved up slightly.
A sense of pride, she felt that the bravest thing she had done so far was that night when she confessed to Xu Musen before he could speak.
Yao Mingyue lifted her head and looked into An Nuannuan’s eyes, feeling somewhat dazed.
Some treat me like weed, and some cherish me like a treasure...
No wonder Xu Musen always puts her first now, being treated as a precious jewel, how could he not treat the other as such?
Yao Mingyue’s mind recalled all the past moments, when she was sick, sad, or helpless, he was always there beside her without any complaints.
Time and again, his confessions, the sincerity of each effort must have worn on his heart as well.
And those vague memories, it seemed she was always taking, she always thought she could make up for it in some other way, but in the end, she overlooked the most important thing about two people liking each other.
Now she understood, but it... seemed a little too late.
Yao Mingyue looked at An Nuannuan, but her thoughts turned to the day when she burst into the hospital room and threw herself by Xu Musen’s side. Continue reading at novelbuddy
It’s hard for two silhouettes to overlap, but Yao Mingyue couldn’t be mistaken, that person was herself, now.
She bit her pale lips; she knew Xu Musen’s temper, to make him give up An Nuannuan was impossible.
But, to ask her to give up on Xu Musen was equally impossible!
She steadied her breathing, releasing her tightly bitten lip, revealing the reddish bite marks on the blanched lips.
She looked at An Nuannuan’s eyes, clear and deep at that moment, and her heart wavered, a thought suddenly surging forward.
"An Nuannuan, do you... also remember... the past?"
She had been closely observing An Nuannuan’s expressions, and just at that moment, she seemed to catch a fleeting emotion in An Nuannuan’s eyes.
It was the emotion that arises after hope is destroyed, then rekindled; Yao Mingyue knew it well, because she had watched Xu Musen slowly dying in her arms in her previous life, and it was this emotion.

But An Nuannuan’s eyes showed no change, still clear and bright.
"Does it matter? All I know is that I love him the most now, and he is good to me, and we shall be together forever."
Does it matter?
Yes, does it matter?
Yao Mingyue smiled bitterly and shook her head; she had been clinging to the past, hadn’t she wasted this opportunity as well?
She looked at An Nuannuan, this girl who seemed never to get angry, and according to her memories, the only time she ever got angry was because of Xu Musen.
Not because she was jealous, but because she failed to take good care of him.
Yao Mingyue felt that sometimes she was really similar to her, yet so different.
Yao Mingyue cherished the feeling of being liked by Xu Musen, wishing to control everything about him.
And An Nuannuan, she wanted to be loved by him, willing to gamble everything for him.
Yao Mingyue narcissistically thought, perhaps... the girl named An Nuannuan that Xu Musen liked, could actually be another "Yao Mingyue" in his feelings.
And on reflection, wasn’t An Nuannuan’s arrival just perfectly filling the gaps that Yao Mingyue lacked?
Cute, innocent, simple, and naive, very satisfying for Xu Musen who wanted to rise above his status.
Yet looking at An Nuannuan now, conversing with her, she was far from naive.
Perhaps, this was her way of slowly "healing" Xu Musen.
In An Nuannuan, she also seemed to see shadows that once belonged to Xu Musen himself.
"An Nuannuan, thank you."
Yao Mingyue sincerely thanked her, not knowing why but feeling the urge to express her gratitude.
"Thank me all you want, I still won’t give Xu Musen up to you."
At that moment, An Nuannuan seemed to regain her usual naive yet earnest demeanor.
Yao Mingyue was taken aback, then she smiled.
Her smile was a mix of relief and enlightenment.
"What a coincidence, I feel the same."
Yao Mingyue also lifted her lips into a smile, reverting back to the cunning and aristocratic little fox of her earlier days.
