Rebirth Counterattack with Space-Chapter 76 - The Most Important Person in Life

Seeing the joy that bathed the faces of the three most important people in her life, Lu Yun felt enveloped by an unprecedented sense of happiness, joy, contentment, and peace.

When had she begun to consider Shitou as one of the most important people in her life?

Lu Yun nestled into the sofa, clutching a large pillow, burying her head in it to reflect carefully.

It seemed that from their very first encounter in this life, she had never really put up defenses against Shitou, had she?

But in her previous life, she was clearly the most suspicious, the most cautious, and the most guarded, wasn’t she?

She had always thought of herself as inherently distrustful. She adhered to the old saying, “You may not harbor intentions to harm others, but you must be vigilant against harm from them,” often erring on the side of excess caution.

To keep the secret of her space tightly guarded, she inherently didn’t trust anyone, being extremely careful. Even though she knew rationally that most people, even after reading web novels filled with stories of fantastical spaces, would not readily believe that such miracles could truly exist, she never let her guard down. She never allowed herself to leave even the slightest hint of doubt in front of anyone.

Back then, she was so cautious that she wouldn’t even touch a drop of alcohol, even in front of very familiar business partners or the most important of guests.

Her refusal to give face to anyone also led some to take breaking her resolve as a challenging “task” to complete.

Towards such people, she consistently did not give a second chance to get close to her. The most shocking instance was when she preferred to give up a multibillion-dollar cooperation plan to stick to her principles. Even after the person in charge, who had initially half-jokingly threatened during the negotiations that if she didn’t drink that glass of alcohol there would be no deal, sincerely apologized, she still chose to leave decisively. She completely disregarded the fact that the cooperation plan was one step away from completion and terminated it all.

There were many who called her capricious for having the luxury of wealth to do so; the other party kept apologizing, and even her close subordinates continuously tried to persuade her to change her mind. She simply replied indifferently, “Even dragons have their reverse scales.”

Yes, even dragons have their reverse scales. The reason she chose to sacrifice more than the enemy, suffering losses even greater than others, to stick to what seemed to be an inexplicable “principle,” was solely because she feared that getting drunk, she might inadvertently reveal the secret of her space.

Back then, even though she was already exceedingly wealthy, possessing enumerable assets visible and hidden, she often felt as though she was barefoot. Apart from her space, she had nothing else to lose…

No, she had thought about it more than once at that time. If she could start her life over, she would be willing to give up even the magical space.

She knew her feelings were strange and that if she spoke them aloud, she would be met with a barrage of curses, and she might even have eggs and rotten vegetables thrown at her.

But she couldn’t help feeling that way often.

She frequently thought she must be sick — the kind that has no cure.

Back then, she initially still went out occasionally, but as soon as she saw mothers with their little girls, or witnessed an intimate gesture between a mother and daughter by chance, she would become spellbound and stand still on the spot, listless for several days after returning home, incapable of rallying her spirits.

Gradually, she preferred to stay at home rather than go out unless necessary.

How did people privately judge her then?

Cold beauty, cold-hearted, cold-natured.

On the surface, she appeared kind to everyone and could smile warmly, but in truth, those who really got close to her would soon find out that her kindness was only on the surface. The real her was like an emotionless robot, never truly able to connect with anyone, always keeping people at arm’s length.

She had also always thought she should be like that.

So, why did she completely change after being reborn?

She became utterly unlike herself, increasingly enjoying playing the part of a genuine six-year-old child in front of her father, mother, and Shitou. When facing them, she couldn’t hide secrets, couldn’t help wanting to act spoiled, grew increasingly dependent, and she couldn’t resist wanting to share all the good things…

What’s worse, she decided to hide the secret of the space just like in her past life, yet she acted carelessly, doing things that could expose her secret without restraint.

In front of Shitou, she even exaggerated to the point of not hiding the secret of her rebirth?

All of this was utterly unscientific. Could it be that her intelligence had regressed after being reborn?

“Is Xiaoyun tired and wanting to sleep?” Xia Yuan noticed that Lu Yun was motionless, nestled in the couch, with her head buried in the pillow, and she couldn’t help but touch her and lean over to check, “Sleeping like this is not comfortable, darling. Let’s go to bed!”

“Mom, I am a bit tired.” Lu Yun looked up at Xia Yuan’s concerned face, felt warmth in her heart, obediently nodded, and then reached out her arms to be picked up.

“Today has been exhausting indeed, even we adults are nearly at our limits, let alone a small child like you. Yes, Mom will carry you to the room to sleep.”

Xia Yuan nodded understandingly, embraced her in her arms, stood up, and turned back to beckon Lu Aiguo and Shitou, “Stop chatting and go to sleep as well, we need to get up early tomorrow. Plus, with the big lake at the door, there is a lot to do starting tomorrow.”

“Alright, you take Xiaoyun to the room first. In a little while, Shitou and I will also go to sleep.” Lu Aiguo replied cheerily, noticing Lu Yun looking a bit out of spirits, as if she was tired, and quickly nodded, “Let’s all go to sleep, and tomorrow we’ll catch fish in the lake to eat.”

Xia Yuan glanced at Lu Aiguo and Shitou fiddling with a few treasures they had gotten from Lu Yun’s big warehouse, shaking her head in mild exasperation. These two were obsessed, restless unless they polished those items several times a day, especially Shitou, who was truly possessed. It was also Xiaoyun’s fault for not picking something else, why bring out something so dangerous?
