I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 281 Can you balance the relationship between Nuan Nuan and your childhood sweetheart?

The meal was quite peaceful.

Xu Musen was sure that his grandparents must have known about what happened between him and An Nuannuan.

But they didn't bring it up at the dinner table, so Xu Musen naturally knew what it meant.

The best promises are not as good as living each day well.

After dinner, the old man was a little tipsy and took Xu Musen to the yard to practice martial arts again.

"Grandpa, you are..."

Xu Musen stood in front of a wooden stake.

"Practice with me, an old man. Put your legs and feet level with the stakes!"

As the old man spoke, Xu Musen subconsciously raised his arm. The old man raised his hand and directly handcuffed Xu Musen's arm to the wooden stake.

"Grandpa..." Xu Musen was stunned. How could he be tortured directly?
"Musen, we don't talk much, and grandpa wants to ask you, when are you going to marry Nuannuan in the future?"

Grandpa asked with a kind smile.

"Actually, you should ask Nuan Nuan this question. I will marry her when she decides to marry me."

"As a man, why don't you take the initiative and wait for my granddaughter to speak?"

Grandpa sounded a little unhappy and tied up Xu Musen's legs as well.

Xu Musen was not panicked. He smiled and said, "It's not that I don't take the initiative, but I think Nuannuan has missed too much in the past. Many things will be more meaningful before talking about marriage. Of course, as long as she wants, I am always ready."

Grandpa looked at him. The brat was quite good at talking. He patted Xu Musen on the shoulder and said, "Okay, that's a good point. But I've also heard that there are a lot of girls around you recently."

As the old man spoke, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Grandpa, I don't quite understand what you said..." Xu Musen's scalp tightened.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand."

The old man suddenly took out a flying knife from his waist and moved his steps as if he was performing a drunken boxing.

"Grandpa...what are you doing?"

Xu Musen swallowed.

"Actually, my An family ancestors also have a unique skill of darts. I haven't practiced it for many years. Today, I suddenly felt a little itchy. Don't worry, it's okay."

Grandpa has a kind and amiable smile.

"Grandpa, listen to me. They and I are absolutely innocent, and they all know Nuannuan."

Xu Musen didn't believe that his grandfather would really give him a flying knife, but looking at the old man's drunken appearance, it was obvious that he was still a little uncomfortable with the fact that his granddaughter was taken advantage of by Xu Musen.

The cabbages that I have been raising at home for many years were eaten by pigs. Anyone would find it hard to accept it for a while.

"But I heard that there is a girl who is your childhood sweetheart, and you two have a good relationship, right?" Grandpa suddenly brought up this topic and stared into Xu Musen's eyes.

Xu Musen was distracted for just a moment. If Nuannuan's family wanted to investigate, he would definitely not be able to hide the affair between him and Yao Mingyue.

Thinking of Yao Mingyue, Xu Musen could no longer let go of any emotions in his heart. He also drank a lot of wine today. The scenes of the two of them getting along after his rebirth were slowly healing the cracks that were full of scars in his previous life.

Xu Musen met his grandfather's old but still sharp eyes. He did not hide his thoughts: "I admit that I used to like her very much. It was the kind of love between men and women, but now my favorite is Nuannuan, and she and I feel more like a family now. Some people always want to take care of her even if they can't end up together."

The old man didn't expect Xu Musen to answer him like this.

Obviously, a normal boy would say a lot of words to express his loyalty at this time, but now he is tied up like this, facing the flying knives, and he dares to say such ambiguous words.

Not timid.

However, as a man, the old man could feel the sincerity in his words, and even suddenly muttered in his heart... So, there is such an answer?

The old man seemed to recall something. Finally, he touched his gray beard, and his eyes seemed to be a little red due to drinking.

"I'm Nuan Nuan's grandfather. This child has suffered too much since she was a child. Her mother left early. She can't bear any more grievances. I know that at your age, especially for an outstanding boy, there will always be some girls around you. I just want to ask you, no matter what happens in the future, no matter how important someone is to you, you will always choose Nuan Nuan, right?"

The old man took advantage of his drunkenness and said things that he would not normally say.

Xu Musen smiled and shook his head.

"Are you still not happy?" The old man suddenly became anxious, ready to use his flying knife skills to cut a hole in his head at any time!

"No, what I mean is that Nuan Nuan has never been a choice for me."

Xu Musen answered calmly, especially when he knew that An Nuannuan had foolishly waited for him for her entire life in her previous life.

No matter what happens in this life, Xu Musen will never leave her.

"No matter how outstanding I am in the future, Nuan Nuan will always be irreplaceable in my heart."

Grandpa was stunned for a long time. Finally, he sighed silently, and the sharpness in his eyes became soft and kind again.

"Then let me ask you, if one day in the future, Nuan Nuan and your childhood sweetheart have a conflict, do you think you can balance it?"

Xu Musen thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "One is my future wife, and the other is my sister. It can't be more difficult to deal with than the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

"You kid..."

The old man also smiled. It seemed too early for these young people to ask these questions.

But why do I always feel that the implicit meaning of his words is to bring both of them under his control?

"Grandpa, you've finished asking questions, you can let me go now."

"Hey, now that you're here, you better let me get the stab!"

The old man's expression suddenly changed again, and he staggered with the throwing knife in his hand.

"???"

Xu Musen swallowed his saliva. This is no joke!
"Shh!"

The old man stabbed over with a flying knife. In the night, the cold light was sharp and the tip of the knife instantly landed on Xu Musen's heart.

Xu Musen felt a pain in his chest, and then... nothing happened.

The flying knife fell to the ground, but it made the sound of wood falling to the ground.

Xu Musen broke out in a cold sweat.

The old man laughed as if his prank had succeeded. He went over to untie Xu Musen and picked up the flying knife on the ground. He saw the gleaming knife, but it was just a layer of iron powder on the wood.

"I'm just kidding. You are Nuannuan's favorite person now. If I hurt you, my precious granddaughter will be angry with me."

The old man laughed, handed the knife over and patted Xu Musen on the shoulder.

"Okay, live a good life with Nuannuan from now on. I will feel relieved even if I die."

Xu Musen was holding the wooden flying knife, feeling a little amused and helpless. Why did he feel that this old man was a bit like the naughty boy Zhou Botong?

……

I stayed here today.

An Nannan was very happy. She pestered her sister to take a bath together, and then they lay comfortably on the bed together.

She snuggled into her sister's arms and smelled her sister's fragrance: "Sister, your scent feels different than before, did you use some other shower gel?"

An Nannan smelled the fragrance on her sister's body. That special milky scent made her feel particularly at ease. She also felt that the flesh on her sister's body seemed to be softer than before.

An Nuannuan's face was rosy. She had never used any other shower gel. She raised her hand and sniffed it. "I don't know. Maybe... I've been eating something different recently."

She thought that in order to replenish her blood and energy, Xu Musen had been giving her various sweet porridges every day these days.

"The food is different? Sister, did you and him secretly eat something delicious that I don't know about? Let me have some too~"

An Nannan, the little foodie, had her eyes light up and she pestered her sister for food.

"There's nothing different. I just ate a little more to nourish my body..."

"But it smells really good. When mom was coaxing me to drink milk, she said that the more milk I drank, the more milky my body would smell. Sister, did you secretly drink some special milk..." An Nuannuan suddenly remembered something in her little head. Her face turned red, and she picked up the storybook on the bedside and interrupted her sister's words.

"Nannan, let me tell you a story."

"Yeah, okay!"

An Nuannuan told the story softly, but her mind was still shy and a little absent-minded.

She looked out the window. The moonlight was bright and she missed sleeping with her sister.

But now she has gotten used to the feeling of sleeping in his arms every day.

Now she always feels empty around her, and she even has some insomnia.

In other words, I miss my husband...

Just like a withdrawal reaction, An Nuannuan feels that she is now lacking the "Musen element".

She lowered her head and looked at her sister lying in her arms. An Nuannuan said softly, "Nannan, can I teach you some math problems?"

An Nannan didn't nod readily this time, but shook her head vigorously in her arms: "No, every time sister explains math problems to me, I fall asleep. I haven't slept with sister for several days. I want to stay with sister for a while longer!"

An Nuannuan looked at her sister's coquettish appearance, and her heart softened. She touched her sister's head and said, "Okay, sister will sleep with you today."

"Yeah, hey, sister, I want to hear more stories!"

An Nuannuan continued to tell her the story. While her sister was peeing, she took out her cell phone and sent a message to Xu Musen.

"Xu Musen, I'm going to sleep with my sister today (rabbit pouts.)"

"Weren't you sleeping with your sister?"

"I mean, don't wait for me in the middle of the night... (Rabbit blushes.)"

An Nuannuan's face was as red as the emoticon. She typed in the chat box: "You should go to bed early. We can go home tomorrow..."

As a result, before she finished typing, she saw Xu Musen's reply.

"Okay, thank you, my wife, for giving me a day off!"

An Nuannuan's cheeks suddenly puffed up a little. What...what did she mean by giving him a day off? It was as if she was a black-hearted boss lady who exploited him.

And she couldn't sleep, but he didn't even want to sleep with her.

"Hmph, I won't pay attention to you (the rabbit is angry!)"

Xu Musen looked at the message on his phone and couldn't help laughing.

They are both at this age of full of vigor and vitality, and are used to having beautiful women by their side. It is natural that they feel a little uncomfortable lying alone suddenly.

I just got a "flying knife warning" from the old man, so I'd better behave myself tonight.

And Nuannuan's body can't stand the daily tossing and turning.

Looking at the message sent by An Nuannuan, it is rare to hear messages in this tone from An Nuannuan. It is actually a bit cute.

Xu Musen was just thinking about coaxing her again tomorrow, but An Nuannuan sent another message.

"As a punishment, you are not allowed to dream about me tonight... I will forgive you tomorrow! (The rabbit looks up proudly)"

Looking at the news, Xu Musen couldn't help but smile.

"Tomorrow morning will be too long, will you forgive me after twelve o'clock today?"

"No, at least... at five in the morning! (Rabbit is serious.)"

"How about a little bit? This way I can dream about you earlier."

"Hey, that won't work either. It has to be at least four o'clock."

"Two o'clock."

"Three o'clock!"

"Deal! Then I only have four or five hours to coax my wife again."

Following the deal, An Nuannuan looked at the message on her phone. There was still an unhappy expression on her face, but the corners of her mouth curved into a sweetness that could kill people.

"I changed my mind. I want you to dream about me soon, and then... and keep comforting me in your dream, otherwise I will not talk to you in the morning... (Rabbit blushes.)"

Xu Musen looked at his phone and couldn't help shouting in his heart.

Ah, my wife is so cute.

……

Xu Musen’s birthday is coming soon.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu were ready to take a plane to Shanghai, one to celebrate their son's birthday, and the other to visit Mingyue and their future daughter-in-law whom they had not had the chance to meet.

"If you're busy, you don't have to come pick me up. Your dad and I can just take a taxi from the airport to go find your Aunt Liu first. I also made some snacks for Mingyue and Nuannuan."

Xu's mother has already started packing things, large and small bags, most of which are snacks and gifts for the two girls.

"Mom, you are here to celebrate your son's birthday, shouldn't you prepare some gifts for him?"

"You? As long as you don't starve to death."

Xu's mother said this bluntly.

But as a mother, who is thousands of miles away from her son, she celebrates his birthday. How can she not care about her son?

"Okay, then tell me when you get on the plane. I may have a surprise for you."

Xu Musen said a few words, smiled and hung up the phone.

My parents haven't traveled in many years, so this is a good opportunity to let them stay in Shanghai for a few more days.

Isn’t that the point of making money?

While Xu Musen was thinking, Zhou Hangyu came running over from outside the milk tea shop, picked up a glass of ice water and drank it all in one gulp.

"Drink slowly. Even on a hot day, drinking ice water won't cause sudden death."

"Huh... I'm afraid I'll die of anger before I die suddenly!"

Zhou Hangyu took a breath and seemed to be holding back his anger: "Brother Sen, didn't you ask us to deal with those fake stores a few days ago?"

"What problem did you encounter?"

Xu Musen asked him to speak slowly.

Zhou Hangyu said a little depressedly, "According to what you said, most of the stores have slowly started to transfer or are thinking of joining us legitimately, but I don't know what happened in the past few days. Several stores suddenly changed their minds and suddenly brought in fruits of the same quality as ours, and the price per cup is exactly one dollar lower than ours. Don't you think this is disgusting?"

“Price war…”

Xu Musen also frowned slightly. Price war is the most unpretentious, but it is also the most expensive.

It would be fine if a big company came, but how could a small copycat store like this be willing to spend so much money?

"Also, recently one or two of the main fruit suppliers suddenly said that the demand for fruit has been high recently, and that the fruit is difficult to preserve due to the hot weather. In short, they have various reasons to increase the price of fruit, and the increase is quite large." Zhou Hangyu also brought the contract of the fruit supplier for the price increase.

Xu Musen took a look and thought that if the price increase was implemented, he would probably have to spend all the money he spent on milk tea on these fruit vendors.

"I will deal with this matter later. As for the knockoff store, I will persuade them if I can, and if I can't, I will take legal action."

Xu Musen had anticipated this day. As the company grew bigger, it would always attract some bad luck. He thought about it and decided that he would need more people to cooperate with him...

But then he thought about it, and it seemed that all he knew were rich women.

A rich cute little fool, a rich black sickly little girl, a rich silly sweet lady...

Xu Musen suddenly smiled helplessly, feeling that none of them seemed very reliable.
