Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

"Yaoyao, honey, look! That one's pretty."

At the edge of People's Square, Xue Jianfeng stood in front of the tent with Ren Qunfang in his arms. Ren Qunfang stood on tiptoe, clutching the hem of his clothes, and occasionally jumped up and down excitedly.

Every time a firework explodes, the crowd erupts in uproar, while the woman beside him gently tugs at his sleeve, points to the sky, and sees fireworks blooming in her eyes.

Xue Jianfeng stared blankly, for a moment as if he had returned to his youth, climbing to the treetop with Ren Qunfang to watch the distant fireworks...

"Look at the fireworks, why are you looking at me?"

After a firework disappeared, Ren Qunfang said with a hint of complaint.

Fireworks fade quickly, but her husband didn't go with her to enjoy them; he just kept staring at her face.

"The fireworks are beautiful, but not as beautiful as you," Xue Jianfeng said with a smile.

"You're so talkative, let's watch the fireworks." Ren Qunfang's eyes darted away, her expression somewhat embarrassed.

Because her daughter was behind her, she nudged Xue Jianfeng's face, gesturing for him to look up at the sky.

"Okay." Xue Jianfeng smiled. According to the procedure, the next step was to announce his wife's name.

"The previous pattern was a lotus flower. Can you guess what the next one is? Let's see who can guess it correctly," Xue Jianfeng said with a smile.

I guess it's still flowers.

Ren Qunfang said helplessly, thinking to herself, "How old are you? Why are you still making bets with people?"

"I guess it's a character," Xue Jianfeng said confidently.

Why don't you say anything?

Ren Qunfang found it amusing; apart from the mention of Hedong place name at the beginning, it never appeared again, making the probability extremely low.

As two fireworks soared into the sky, Ren Qunfang felt a surge of anticipation.

The moment she bloomed, her body trembled unconsciously, and her eyelashes fluttered uncontrollably.

Her name was hanging in the sky...

"Do you like it?" Xue Jianfeng took the opportunity to put his arm around Ren Qunfang's waist. In his plan, his wife would definitely be moved and give him a kiss.

Suddenly, Xue Yao's voice came from behind: "Brother, look at the sky! Mom has gone to heaven!"

Xue Jianfeng suppressed his temper and tried hard to control his hands.

You can't hit her, she's still your daughter...

"Jianfeng, did you do this?" Ren Qunfang's tone was unreadable.

"Yes, I did it."

Xue Jianfeng wore a smug smile, then turned to look at Ren Qunfang, his smile gradually fading...

Ren Qunfang's eyes flashed with anger.

Xue Jianfeng's heart skipped a beat; this was not quite what he had expected.

He imagined his wife would be so moved she would cry and give him a big kiss. But in reality, his wife gritted her teeth and looked like she was about to yell at him.

"Wife, what's wrong?" Xue Jianfeng asked in a weak voice.

"Since you've already paid for it, why not put the full name of the store? What's the point of just putting two characters? Who's going to know this is our advertisement? Do you have too much money to burn?" Ren Qunfang said through gritted teeth.

She saw the fireworks behind her, almost all of which featured well-known local brands, except for her own brand, whose advertisement was ambiguous.

Ren Qunfang was no longer young at this time, and her heart was more focused on her family. She felt that Xue Jianfeng's romantic gestures were a waste of family resources.

Xue Jianfeng was speechless after being rebuked. He turned around and yelled, "Yaoyao, can't you speak properly?"

Xue Yao's shoulders twitched because her older brother on the other end of the phone was also cursing at her.

She quickly changed her tune: "Brother, Mom is in heaven."

"Dad? Why are you taking off your shoes?"

"Brother, come quick and save me!"

"Sister-in-law, come quick!"

……

On the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the video call, Xue Rui turned to look out the car window.

The road was still congested, but the difference was that there were far fewer horns, and the couple in the next lane stopped arguing.

Indeed, beautiful things can make people feel happy.

Thinking about this, Xue Rui felt that spending those millions was quite worthwhile.

Gu Muxue looked at the fireworks outside the window and secretly glanced at Lin Ruoxi in the front row, her eyes filled with a hint of envy.

Seeing how good Xue Rui is to Lin Ruoxi, she can't help but feel jealous.

"Sigh~" Gu Muxue sighed softly and picked up the cupcake, taking small bites.

That's why she doesn't want the three of them to go out together.

"Mu Xue, are you in a bad mood?" Xue Rui asked softly.

The girl was feeding him bread just now, but after watching the fireworks for a while, he clearly lost his appetite.

"No." Gu Muxue shook her head slightly.

After all, the three of them will have less time together after the New Year, so let's grant his wish now...

When we arrived at the square, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. There was a close-up fireworks display not far from the square.

The square was still bustling, with long queues forming in front of the food stalls.

Xue Rui took Lin Ruoxi's hand and turned around. Gu Muxue was already standing a few meters away.

"Ruoxi, Yaoyao is looking for me. You play with Xiaorui." Gu Muxue pointed to Xue Yao not far away.

"Okay, then be careful and call me if anything happens." Lin Ruoxi nodded with a smile.

Xue Rui looked around and felt that the two girls had changed.

When the little girl and the young lady were together before, although their auras didn't clash, they just couldn't blend together.

And today, I don't know how to put it, it seems like we're gradually starting to merge?

"Xixi, did you two agree on this?" Xue Rui asked.

Lin Ruoxi quickly waved her hand: "No."

But as she stepped out of the car, she realized that Xue Rui's parents were also watching the fireworks in the square, and she felt it would be a bit strange to go with them.

The best way is for the two groups to separate and play together when there are fewer people.

"Let's eat something first. I've arranged a place for the second half of the fireworks later." Xue Rui turned to look at the hotel not far away.

He booked the best suite, where they could watch the fireworks indoors, and since it would be late at night after the fireworks, the two of them, a man and a woman, would be alone in the room...

Suddenly, he realized that this was how it usually was.
It seems like nothing really happened...

……

"Sister-in-law, why are you so late?" Xue Yao complained.

Gu Muxue chuckled. Xue Yao and Xue Rui were practically cut from the same cloth, both with unrestrained and unconventional personalities.

When I called them before, I even referred to them as "two sisters-in-law".

"Yaoyao, which sister-in-law do you like better?" Gu Muxue teased.

"Of course it's Sister-in-law Mu Xue," Xue Yao answered without hesitation.

"Oh?" Gu Muxue was quite surprised. She asked with a smile, "You speak to people in a way that suits them, just like your brother."

Xue Yao pouted: "No, I said you were better in front of Sister-in-law Xi Xi, and my brother beat me up for it."

"Huh?" Gu Muxue was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth; it seemed like something Xue Rui would do.

Xue Yao winked at Gu Muxue: "So... sister-in-law, aren't you going to offer some compensation?"

Gu Muxue was stunned. What kind of compensation could she offer?
"Well..." Xue Yao held Gu Muxue's hand, looking pitiful, and said, "Ever since my brother became successful, my dad has been applying all his successful parenting methods to me, which has resulted in me not having any pocket money now." Gu Muxue smiled and said, "Yao Yao, why don't you ask your brother for some?"

"Him?" Xue Yao's lips twitched.

She hadn't forgotten how arrogant she had been when her brother used to beg her, ordering him around to serve her tea and water. Now that the world had turned upside down, she didn't even dare to imagine what her brother would ask her to do!
Because Xue Yao knew Xue Rui too well, she didn't dare to make any moves on him.

But her older brother was quite capable, managing to find him two wives. As his sister-in-law, she naturally wanted to make good use of this position to squeeze more pocket money out of him.

"Why don't you ask your other sister-in-law?" Gu Muxue asked with a smile.

Based on her understanding of Lin Ruoxi, every penny Lin Ruoxi received required Xue Rui's approval. When Xue Yao asked Lin Ruoxi, she could only get the answer, "I'll give it to her if Xue Rui agrees."

Xue Yao's eyes darted around, and she took Gu Muxue's arm, saying, "We're good friends."

The main problem is that Lin Ruoxi sides with her older brother, and she even hands him a slipper to hit her...

Money? Xue Yao thought it was absolutely impossible.

“Okay, I’ll give you a thousand a month,” Gu Muxue said, holding up one finger.

"One thousand is a bit too little..."

Xue Yao was a little disappointed. She used to spend three to five thousand yuan on the game every month.

Gu Muxue looked surprised. She only realized after she went to university that many college students only had a monthly allowance of 1,000 yuan, and some even had less.

A thousand yuan a month is a huge sum of money for a high school student, yet Xue Yao was still not satisfied.

It seems that my uncle and aunt spoiled me too much in the past.

“Eight hundred.” Gu Muxue’s tone was icy.

"Huh?" Xue Yao panicked immediately.

"Seven hundred," Gu Muxue continued to haggle.

"One thousand, thank you, sister-in-law." Xue Yao quickly put on a big smile.

"Seven hundred, because you only agreed when I called out seven hundred."

Gu Muxue smiled and counted out seven hundred yuan from her bag. After glancing around, she quietly slipped it into Xue Yao's pocket.

Looking at Gu Muxue's confident expression, Xue Yao suddenly felt sorry for her older brother. This sister-in-law of hers was not easy to handle, and her brother was going to suffer in the future.

Fine, seven hundred it is.

If we can get 700 from Gu Muxue, we can use that to blackmail Lin Ruoxi.

hum!

I'm not afraid you won't give it to me then.

……

Around 10 p.m., the weather grew colder and the square became less crowded, leaving only a large number of young people eagerly anticipating the second half of the grand fireworks display.

"I don't know what they were thinking. Wouldn't it be better to start at 10 o'clock? Why set it for after 11 o'clock?"

Some people stomped their feet and complained, taking out their phones to complain about the fireworks show arrangements on local online forums.

Lin Ruoxi nodded in agreement.

She was holding a bunch of snacks and treats in her arms, and kept feeding Xue Rui.

"Xi Xi, Mu Xue just said I've gotten fat, why are you still feeding me?" Xue Rui said, his words slightly slurred.

“Hmm, that’s called being sturdy, not fat,” Lin Ruoxi retorted, frowning.

"Alright, the fireworks will start in a little while. I found a warm spot, let's watch it together with Mu Xue," Xue Rui said, patting Lin Ruoxi's head.

"I...I want to watch it alone with you," Lin Ruoxi said weakly.

Xue Rui touched his nose, pretending not to have heard clearly.

Lin Ruoxi pouted, tiptoed, and kissed Xue Rui on the cheek: "I... I'll be good, okay? Don't ignore me, alright?"

After saying that, Lin Ruoxi called Gu Muxue and arranged to meet at the landmark stone in front of the square.

Not long after, Xue Rui saw Gu Muxue in front of the square, holding a bunch of snacks and treats, her little feet pacing back and forth on the ground.

"It's freezing! Quick, take this to warm your hands." Gu Muxue handed the things in her hands to Xue Rui.

Xue Rui glanced at the girl's legs; there was a hint of flesh color on her thigh-high boots, and she was only wearing sheer tights.

Gu Muxue noticed Xue Rui's gaze and guiltily looked away, knowing she was about to be scolded again.

However, she also hoped that Xue Rui would, like before, let her crawl into the down jacket.

However, before Xue Rui could speak, Lin Ruoxi said in a serious tone, "Mu Xue, wearing too little clothing in winter can affect fertility."

"Huh?" Gu Muxue looked dazed.

Xue Rui was shocked. The little girl was usually quiet, but when she did speak, it was a bombshell...

"Rui, take this." Lin Ruoxi handed the bag of snacks to Xue Rui.

Xue Rui frowned. The little girl gave him the things?

This is unprecedented; will these two actually start fighting?
"Hurry up, let's go back to the car and warm up."

Lin Ruoxi took off her coat and draped it over Gu Muxue's shoulders. She then pulled Gu Muxue along as they ran towards the parking lot.

Xue Rui stood there dumbfounded until Lin Ruoxi turned around and called out, "Rui, hurry up and go."

"Oh, okay." Xue Rui slowly moved his feet.

The two had a much better relationship than she had imagined.

Gu Muxue watched Lin Ruoxi's retreating figure, her feelings complicated. She tentatively asked, "Why are you concerned about me? If I really can't have children... wouldn't that be better for you?"

"Regardless of who wins or loses, it's always good that you're healthy."

Lin Ruoxi did not turn around, her voice still soft and sweet.

……

Hotel reception.

Are the three of you sharing a room?

The young woman at the front desk asked casually, as if she was already used to all sorts of people.

Working on the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, who has the time to read other people's gossip?
"Yes." Xue Rui held three ID cards in his hand and tapped them repeatedly on the marble countertop.

He turned around and saw that Lin Ruoxi's expression was very unnatural, while Gu Muxue had buried her face in her hands, and only her pink ears could be seen.

In fact, Xue Rui had already booked a room in advance, so there was no need to register. He just wanted to tease the little girl.

After registering, Xue Rui beckoned the two of them to follow.

The moment the elevator doors closed, Gu Muxue's angry and embarrassed voice came from the crack in the doors: "You bastard, you did that on purpose!"

Entering the pre-booked room, Xue Rui gestured for Lin Ruoxi to tidy up on the terrace, while he unpacked the birthday cake that had been hidden in the refrigerator.

"Xiao Rui, were today's fireworks prepared for her?" Gu Muxue asked in a low voice.

"You figured it out?" Xue Rui had no intention of hiding it from Gu Muxue.

The girl is too clever; her every move has already been figured out.

"Only Ruoxi is so naive; with such a coincidental date and such a strange arrangement, she didn't even realize it was to celebrate her birthday," Gu Muxue said, pinching her brow.

Xue Rui closed the refrigerator, hugged Gu Muxue's face and gently rubbed it against hers: "Muxue, she's not stupid, she just can't believe that all of this was prepared for her."

The little girl came from a poor family and no one had ever paid attention to her, let alone a fireworks show worth millions.

Xue Rui did all this just to tell Lin Ruoxi one thing: you deserve all the good things in the world.

Gu Muxue looked at Lin Ruoxi, who was busy outside the window, her eyes filled with envy.

The more you lack, the more Xiao Rui will give you.

I have everything, yet I've become the one who gets ignored... (End of Chapter)
