After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

All of this, I can still accept, but seeing you, the one by my side, gradually turned from the golden couple everyone admired, childhood friends, to people saying I was freeloading, climbing up the social ladder, how could a poor boy match a phoenix...

Especially your quiet departure after university.

The huge disparity was really hard to endure.

From that moment, my heart... was already sick.

I also began to think, not to let you leave me, no matter the means, I infinitely tolerated you, stayed by your side all the time.

I loved you, but I was more afraid of losing you. Subtly, I made you more and more dependent on me, unable to leave me, even... sometimes deliberately making you jealous, giving you a sense of crisis, just to keep you by my side forever.

So, actually, the truly stubborn and possessive person is me.

Do you remember, I ever invited a psychologist for you?

Actually, I am his patient.

Sorry, the Brother Musen you've always liked, your husband, turned out to be a dark and twisted sickly person inside.

But ah, I love you, and this has never changed.

I tell you this just to let you know that the fault is not yours alone.

Truly at the brink of life and death, I finally understand, we over-worried about the future outcome.

But the result is that I lost freedom, and you lost happiness.

Each of us lives one day in imprisonment, one day in worries, clearly together every day, but our hearts seem separated by space-time.

We shouldn't be like this, we both should truly find the life we want, to find our own hearts...

Ming Yue, please forgive my decision, and don't blame her, this is all my own choice.

I'm telling you this not to make you feel guilty, we have been delayed by various thoughts in our hearts for too long.

We are childhood friends, just like inheriting immense wealth from birth, our feelings are the same, but precisely because of this, we don't understand how hard-won feelings are, nor how to maintain them without "squandering" them.

So, if we still have a chance, we shouldn't start as childhood friends, but more as "enemies," quarreling and bickering, so that from mutual disgust, we can grow to full of love.

Mingyue, I never regretted liking you, whether as the little Sister Mingyue, or the later childhood friend in our youth, or the elderly couple we are now, I like you.

So, I hope you are not sad, don't keep getting caught up by these things, go find the life you truly want.

And don't you ever be unhappy, because your heart is mine, if you are sad, aren't you hurting me? This belongs to severe family violence, I must go complain to Father-in-law!"

Seeing this, Yao Mingyue, with tear stains hanging on her face, raised a slight smile, really, this guy is still like this at this moment, always like that.

"These are requests, also my husbandly requests to you.

Just think of me being a henpecked husband for so long, and listen to your husband once.

It'll be a trouble for you, to take good care of our parents in the future.

Don't be afraid, in the days ahead, every minute and second, I will accompany you

No matter where, no matter what, put your hand on your chest, close your eyes, listen...

Your husband is always by your side..."

Upon reading this, Yao Mingyue's cheeks were already covered with tears.

In the past half year, Yao Mingyue has read this letter countless times, but every time she reads it, she still cannot control her emotions.

She gently placed one hand on her chest, and that heart, strong and powerful, beat like Xu Musen's silent yet warm protection.

An Nuannuan's gaze flowed over the letter, she had been the one who wrote it down on behalf of Xu Musen back then, who was too weak to even hold a pen.

But when he spoke these words, he still had a gentle smile.

He really did, used every last moment of his life to love her well.

But looking at Yao Mingyue's tears at this moment, she also had no strength left to complain.

In this "competition," both of them lost miserably.

Yao Mingyue held an empty urn; she had bought a piece of land on this cliff, she built two graves, side by side, and left a tombstone.

"Husband, Xu Musen's tomb

Wife, Yao Mingyue's tomb."

In the grave, Yao Mingyue left their wedding dress and suit, marriage certificate, and even prepared an urn for herself so she could truly be buried with him when the time comes.

Xu Musen wanted his ashes to be scattered into the sea for freedom, but she, as long as she could stay by his side, would be enough.

An Nuannuan stayed by her side the whole time; Xu Musen's funeral had long been held.

This time, it was their promise.

Waiting for everything to be properly arranged.

Yao Mingyue stood in front of the grave, reluctant to look away for a long time.

"What's your plan next?"

An Nuannuan spoke softly.

Yao Mingyue slowly withdrew her gaze, holding the letter in her hand, staring at the tombstone in front of her.

"I buried myself too, and also buried the past...

I've been wilful all my life, this time, I want to listen to my husband's words."

Yao Mingyue reached out her hand, with a diamond ring on the ring finger of each hand, the rings still sparkling: "With his part too, to see the scenery we never had time to see before, to taste the food we never ate before, to find... the ordinary days we never truly experienced."
