After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 679 - 295: An Nannan: Sister’s Rival? I Can Do It Myself!

The night was gradually deepening.

Zhao Lianmai did not hurry to leave the milk tea shop either.

While she couldn’t say her relationship with her roommate was bad, she was now so busy with studies and work that naturally, she had little time for socializing.

Over time, the dorm had really become just a place to sleep for her.

It was actually better to be alone in the milk tea shop, with air conditioning, fruit and snacks available, and it was very quiet; the sofas were quite comfortable too.

After a day’s work had ceased, she would also have some time to read a book.

Many people said she was cold and gloomy, never reciprocating the kindness others showed her with corresponding enthusiasm.

But for Zhao Lianmai, it was like a form of "hibernation," refusing all unnecessary expenditure of energy, just surviving was enough.

However, ever since she had met Xu Musen, the trajectory of her life had undergone a radical change.

Zhao Lianmai admitted that her personality was not great, and she even harbored some inherent prejudices against men.

Others might have given up after a few rejections.

But Xu Musen was different; whenever Zhao Lianmai choked him off, he would just laugh it off.

Initially, Zhao Lianmai did not understand, wondering if this person had some sort of masochistic tendencies.

But later on, she understood because Xu Musen was pure of heart.

He never thought of anything else, in his heart, he just wanted a diligent and capable employee.

As for emotional value, he did not care.

In this regard, her own boss and the young lady boss were the same, sometimes their intentions were quite pure.

Especially after those chance encounters in the hospital, at the family grave…

He always said that helping her was actually helping himself, wanting nothing more than to retain a hardworking employee.

But the warmth of his intentions, like a gentle spring breeze that sweeps away the snow, gradually awakened her from her hibernation.

Zhao Lianmai could feel herself being changed bit by bit by him...

She picked up a custard tart and took a bite.

The exterior was hard and flaky, while the inside was sweet and soft.

Although employees could eat anything in the shop for free,

previously, she would definitely not take any slightest advantage of others.

But now, she no longer avoided the kindness others showed her,

especially his.

Zhao Lianmai was silent, but the name of a certain person inevitably surfaced in her mind.

Perhaps because these days she had seen the interactions between him and those women.

Actually, Zhao Lianmai’s feelings were complicated.

Her father was not a good person; having abandoned his wife and daughters, he had plunged the family into poverty.

Thus, she was prejudiced against any unfaithfulness in relationships, and even toward all men.

However, the pure affection and love between Xu Musen and An Nuannuan made Zhao Lianmai start to believe in love again.

Therefore, she was also a devoted supporter of team Musen-Nuannuan.

But recently, as a woman’s intuition, she always felt something was off with Xu Musen and his childhood sweetheart, Zhu Yulan…

She and An Nuannuan used to spend whole days in the milk tea shop, and Zhao Lianmai felt she knew An Nuannuan better than others did.

She always felt that her young lady boss was not as naive and simple as she appeared.

Zhao Lianmai could not be bothered to explain anything to others.

And An Nuannuan seemed…to specifically pick out topics that directly addressed the deepest desires or sensitivities of others.

Of course, this other person, specifically referred to Xu Musen.

It was like she knew exactly where Xu Musen would fall into a pit, and then she would go there in advance to catch him and comfort him.

Of course, these were just occasional illusions of Zhao Lianmai.

But one thing was certain, both her boss and lady boss were adept at manipulating each other.

So she always felt that An Nuannuan must also feel something.

After all, it was a woman’s intuition, but looking at how An Nuannuan acted, she seemed not worried at all...

Was she not afraid that if Xu Musen got involved with another girl and then abandoned her…

Zhao Lianmai felt anxious for An Nuannuan.

If those two ever broke up, perhaps Zhao Lianmai would never believe in love again in her lifetime.

But there was nothing she could do about it.

Zhao Lianmai understood that many outstanding women would appear around Xu Musen.

After all, her young boss was sometimes…indeed quite attractive.

Actually, Zhao Lianmai had long lost faith in human nature; human emotions are the most dependable and yet the most unreliable.

A person who is starving is not going to think about love; she even thought that if her father, despite his philandering, had taken good care of her mother and sister in the end, Zhao Lianmai might not hate him so much.

For her, the ultimate bottom line was not to abandon someone after chaos.

Zhao Lianmai suddenly felt she might be thinking too much; she remembered An Nuannuan, her young lady boss was quite formidable…

Just like Empress Ma, knowing she could not eventually control the heart of Zhu Yuanzhang, she proactively stepped back.

But without a doubt, in the eyes of Emperor Zhu, Empress Ma was always the only empress, and the most stable empress in the past five thousand years.

Until Empress Ma died of illness, Zhu Yuanzhang did not appoint another empress.

History books only left one line: "The empress passed away from illness, the emperor wept with tears, mourning for a year, without appointing another empress."

Can Zhu Yuanzhang be considered a scoundrel? Perhaps, but his relationship with Empress Ma also survived a test of life and death...
