After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

```

This Rolex looks like it's a design from ten years ago.

But the design of the watch, actually, the more classic, the more enduring it is.

Just like some people will still want to buy an A6 after twenty or thirty years.

There's an enigmatic allure to it, after all, you never know when they bought their car.

The main idea is to spend the least money for the biggest show-off.

But this watch was clearly bought a long time ago and saved up until now.

The value of tens of thousands from seven or eight years ago is imaginable.

"Auntie, I can't accept this."

Xu Musen had a very good impression of Liu Rushuang, and since she was an elder and had cared for him from a young age,

he couldn't keep accepting these expensive things from them.

"This isn't from me."

Liu Rushuang's tone carried a tinge of regret as she looked at the watch and slowly began to speak, "It was prepared by your Uncle Yao for you."

Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue both paused in surprise.

Liu Rushuang, looking at the watch in the box, now had a bit of wistfulness on her usually cheerful face.

"He bought this when you graduated from elementary school, saying it was to be a gift for your eighteenth birthday when you graduated high school.

He said that a young man stepping into maturity should have a presentable watch, it's just that he didn't get the chance to give it to you in person."

A bitterness lingered in Liu Rushuang's eyes.

Yao Mingyue too stared at the watch, biting her lip.

Xu Musen listened silently, he had always held profound respect for that gentle and elegant uncle.

Liu Rushuang smiled softly again, "But Xiaosen, you've finally reached this day.

A car and a watch are a man's second face. Since you want to do business on your own, you should always have your own watch, it's also a part of your Uncle Yao's expectations for you."

Liu Rushuang said, and then picked up a bag beside her, "This is a suit I had custom-made for you, try pairing them up and see."

Xu Musen found it hard to voice his refusal and just nodded.

"Thank you, Auntie."

A man should distinguish his gratitude and grievances clearly; he wouldn't blame Liu Rushuang because of Yao Mingyue.

"Oh, you child, still being polite with me. I watched you grow up; I've long considered you like a son of my own."

Liu Rushuang ruffled Xu Musen's hair, smiling, "Alright, try this on now and see if it fits."

Xu Musen nodded, took the suit, and went to the guest room to change.

He walked out of the room.

Liu Rushuang and Yao Mingyue looked over, both with a gleam in their eyes.

With a height of 1.82 meters, Xu Musen was well-built, his arm and chest muscles ample, making the suit look all the more sharp.

His legs were long, and the suit pants hung perfectly without a hint of dragging—as the saying goes, clothes make the man.

Xu Musen was already quite handsome, and now in formal wear, he looked even more charming with a mature man's allure.

Yao Mingyue's eyes sparkled intensely as she stared at Xu Musen's tall figure, the defined muscle lines on his arms, and the slightly pronounced curves beneath his suit pants...

It turned out a man's backside could also be so attractive.

"Xiaosen, you look really handsome in this!"

Liu Rushuang was also beaming with excitement, finding it hard to associate Xu Musen in front of her with the little kid who once wore split pants.

"It's Auntie's good eye; the size is very fitting." Xu Musen, having been complimented, felt a bit warm in the face.

"Hehe, although I ordered the clothes, the size was given to me by Ming Yue, and it seems spot-on, even more accurate than being measured in person."

Liu Rushuang smiled knowingly.

Yao Mingyue's face immediately flushed, it was like a boy knowing a girl's measurements—it made her feel a bit... perverted.

"Ming Yue, help Xiaosen put on the watch."

Liu Rushuang handed the watch to her daughter.

Yao Ming Yue took the watch over, and Xu Musen, while looking at the watch, also reluctantly cooperated with her.

```

She extended her hand and took the watch, a gift from seven or eight years ago, which she finally managed to give away today.

Gently, Yao Mingyue helped Xu Musen put it on.

A man's watch is like a woman's handbag; it truly reflects one's temperament and taste.

With the watch on his wrist, Xu Musen instantly looked not only more handsome but also more mature and substantive.

Yao Mingyue gazed at him with a somewhat infatuated look in her eyes and took the opportunity to straighten his shirt collar.

It was as if they had gone through this gesture countless times before.

"Click..."

Suddenly, the flash went off as Liu Rushuang captured the moment with her camera.

Both of them were momentarily distracted and looked away.

"Xiaosen is wearing a suit for the first time, so I want to take a photo to commemorate it," Liu Rushuang said with a smile.

She came over to them, placing her hands on each of their shoulders, "You've both grown up, and perhaps in the future, you'll each have your own things to do. But my hope is that both of you live your lives well."

Her tone carried the sincere blessing of an elder to the younger generation.

Looking at each other, Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue nodded.

...

Xu Musen left.

Yao Mingyue remained standing there, somewhat silent.

"Ming Yue, do you want to ask me why I didn't just give Xiaosen a sum of money directly?" Liu Rushuang said with a seemingly prearranged smile.

Yao Mingyue nodded slightly.

Sighing, Liu Rushuang said slowly, "Your father also started from scratch back in the day. My family was quite well-off when we got together, and we faced a lot of opposition, but we got through it all.

But the only time we ever fought was over my wanting to ask my family for money to help him start a business, which he absolutely refused. That led to a big argument."

Liu Rushuang revealed a nostalgic smile as she continued, "I never understood why men have to be so stubborn.

Eventually, I realized that not being able to provide the life one wants to give to their loved one, and even needing their help, is something that men find humiliating."

"But everyone needs help sometimes, and as long as the outcome is good, isn't that all that matters?" Yao Mingyue still didn't quite understand.

"But that's how men are, always caring about face," Liu Rushuang said with a gentle smile, coming closer to her daughter. "Moreover, just giving money directly is actually the least helpful solution.

Let's say you suddenly really want to eat cake.

One option is that someone sends you a hundred dollars for you to buy it yourself.

The other is that they spend fifty dollars, but buy the cake themselves and bring it to you.

Which do you prefer?"

Immediately, Yao Mingyue thought of an answer. Any girl would certainly prefer the second option.

The first option seemed to make oneself look more materialistic.

"Right? Men are the same. Giving money directly would make them overthink, but if you change the approach, the result could be completely different, and even have a surprisingly positive effect."

Liu Rushuang spoke with profound meaning, her heart breaking for her daughter's future happiness.

At the same time, she was slightly frustrated – her daughter excelled in so many ways.

Yet when it came to love, she was too dominant.

If it had been her in her younger days, she would have easily won over someone like Musen.

Yao Mingyue's eyes shone with a hint of thoughtfulness; at the same time, she looked at her mother.

She always felt... that her mom understood him too well, almost as if she had him at her fingertips.

"Mom."

"Hmm?"

"You won't try to find me a stepdad in the future, will you?"

Facing this sudden question, Liu Rushuang's cheeks turned slightly red as she said with a smile, "Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm at this age now, what's the point in finding someone else? I just want to spend time with you guys."

"Oh..."
