A pampered young lady from a wealthy family is reborn, choosing a rich wife over a rich man.

Ying Shunian drank every last drop of the full bottle of water.

Meng Zhixue lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, her cheeks flushed, and a few strands of messy black hair were wet with sweat and stuck to her fair face.

She was completely drained of energy and didn't even want to move a finger.

Ying Shunian placed his hands on either side of her, looked down at her with a smile, his phoenix eyes filled with shyness and satisfaction.

Meng Zhixue glared at him reproachfully: "Is it good?"

"...Delicious." Ying Shunian couldn't help but laugh. "It's sweet."

Meng Zhixue coughed lightly: "Pure, natural, and unpolluted mineral water naturally tastes sweet."

Ying Shunian nodded readily: "Yes, I was talking about mineral water."

Meng Zhixue: "..."

Ying Shunian smiled again when he saw her spoiled appearance.

The air conditioning was on in the room, and he was afraid she would catch a cold, so he pulled the blanket over her.

Suddenly feeling something was wrong with him, he looked down at the pants he was wearing and fell silent.

Meng Zhixue turned her head to look at him and saw that his brows were slightly furrowed and he looked embarrassed. She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Ying Shunan coughed lightly, trying to change the subject: "It's nothing, it's just... by the way, what would you like to eat later?"

"Hmm?" Meng Zhixue asked bluntly, "What's wrong with your pants?"

"...My pants are dirty." Ying Shunian looked helpless. "It's not a big deal, it's just that the bathroom is outside, and if I...if I go out, Jiang Yue will see me..."

"If he sees me go out to change my pants, he'll know what happened between us..."

As for how his pants got dirty, I won't say. He'd rather die than tell.

Although both of them knew the truth.

But it's really hard to speak up.

Meng Zhixue paused for a moment, blinked, and immediately suppressed a laugh, saying, "Then don't go out, just change inside. I don't mind."

Ying Shunian: "..."

This won't work, will it?

That was just now, and now is now.

He... had never experienced such embarrassment before, and he really couldn't calmly change his underwear in front of her.

As he thought about it, his expression turned slightly broken, like a southerner being suddenly thrown into a northern public bathhouse and having his back scrubbed.

Meng Zhixue couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.

She covered her face with a pillow, her laughter muffled, but it was clear she was extremely gloating.

When Ying Shunian heard her laugh, he felt both embarrassed and ashamed, his ears burning hot.

He wanted to do something to stop her from making fun of him.

What can we do?

The moment the idea popped into my head, the emotions I had just managed to suppress suddenly surged back, even hotter and more intense than before.

His gaze darkened as he looked at her fair and slender back, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Meng Zhixue had finished laughing and was about to say something when suddenly she felt a weight on her body. It was Ying Shunian who had pulled her into his arms and pressed her down on the bed.

He buried his head in the crook of her shoulder, his breath brushing against the skin of her neck.

Her voice was low, hoarse, tinged with accusation and grievance: "You know perfectly well that I had no experience this time, yet you always make fun of me..."

He also knew that she was definitely more experienced.

After all... he used despicable means to snatch her away from another man...

To say that Meng Zhixue and Zhou Yu's relationship was purely platonic and that nothing happened between them would be unbelievable even to a passing dog.

Even so, he felt even more aggrieved.

Not only did she feel wronged, she was also jealous.

But you can't say it out loud, otherwise it would be like taking advantage of someone and then acting innocent.

Meeting Ying Shunian's pitiful gaze, Meng Zhixue wanted to laugh again. The next second, his hand was already sliding down her soft waist.

"You..." Meng Zhixue's voice stopped abruptly.

Ying Shunian asked, "Are you still laughing?"

Meng Zhixue didn't want to laugh anymore; she even felt like crying.

It already happened... and now it's going to continue... even more outrageous than before...

Her eyes were hazy.

In the height of summer, a breeze blows, and the bushes outside the window sway gently in the wind, casting dappled shadows on the wall.

She was swaying too.

……

Large apartments have their advantages, and so do basements.

Nestled in a small space, Meng Zhixue felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and security.

Just like the analogy she made before, what a snail needs is not an oversized shell, but the most suitable shell that it can carry.

She's like a tiny snail, and it doesn't matter that her shell is small.

However, Ying Shunian was afraid of making her feel wronged, so he acted quickly and rented a two-bedroom apartment in just a few days.

One room was used as a bedroom, and another room was used as her study and media room...

Correct.

Meng Zhixue worked diligently as a beast of burden in her second and third lives, but in this life she has decided to take it easy.

You still need to work; at least you need to ensure your financial independence.

But she doesn't have high demands for life. As long as she has enough to eat and drink, she is content. She doesn't care about other people's opinions and doesn't aspire to great success, so she doesn't need to be so ambitious.

As for a profession, screenwriting is a good choice.

She has a bit of social anxiety and doesn't want to interact with outsiders much. Besides, she also needs to prevent Zhou Yu from finding out her whereabouts. It would be best if she could "disappear" for the rest of her life and work from home.

Ying Shunian fully supports her plans.

He was originally a thief who stole someone else's love, and he's afraid that others are just like him, so he's extremely wary of outsiders.

Meng Zhixue voluntarily reduced her social circle, which he was more than happy to accept. He would never force her to go out and socialize, nor would he expect her to be all things to all people.

To make Meng Zhixue comfortable at home, he even provided her with a top-of-the-line computer, the best home theater system, and a comfortable electric sofa.

Another advantage of moving to a new house is that you no longer have to be "apprehensive" during intimate moments.

Previously in the studio, although there were three rooms, their bedroom and Jiang Yue's bedroom were separated by a fairly spacious living room, but the soundproofing wasn't very good.

The rooms are separated by wooden planks, which do block the view, but don't block much sound.

They could even hear Jiang Yue getting up to drink water in the middle of the night, so it's easy to imagine that if they made any noise in the room, Jiang Yue would most likely be able to hear it too.

So they were very restrained; when they lived in the studio, the most they would do was kiss and hug...

The most reckless thing was that Ying Shunian served Meng Zhixue.

This... can also be considered a kiss.

After moving to a new house, I finally don't have to worry about anything anymore, and I don't have to put up with anything anymore.

On the night of the move, Ying Shunian discovered a whole new world.

Meng Zhixue had already prepared herself mentally. The two slept in the same bed, Ying Shunian's warm breath fell on her neck, kissing her, wanting her, and of course she couldn't refuse.

And just like that, the two naturally got together...

That night, Ying Shunian "redeemed himself." Compared to his first time when he was naive and surrendered easily after being trampled on by Meng Zhixue, he was unstoppable.

Although she still seemed inexperienced, that naivety was exactly what Meng Zhixue liked more...

She realized that after being reborn several times, she had become more open-minded about this aspect of life.

And they genuinely possess a superior mindset based on emotions.

She no longer avoids her desires.

Compared to her previous three lives, she was more honest and at ease, and even seemed to be "nurturing" the joy of Ying Shunian.

She guided him and taught him.

Watching him marvel and be thrilled by the happiness she gave him, she felt a novel sense of satisfaction.

However, when two people are together, they inevitably have to consider practical issues.

In their first life, Ying Shunian was extremely doting on Meng Zhixue, and his feelings for her were incredibly loyal.

The biggest, and only, problem between them was that he wanted to get married and have children, while she did not.

Meng Zhixue's family background and childhood trauma have led her to avoid marriage. She doesn't believe that marriage will make her life better, and even sees it as a shackle.

Ke Yingshunian's family is very traditional and happy. He looks forward to marriage and is full of beautiful dreams.

This topic once became a source of conflict between the two, and it was inevitable in this lifetime as well.

Now?

Having lived through several lifetimes, especially after the third, Meng Zhixue has developed a good acceptance of marriage and can now view it objectively.

When it comes to marriage, it mainly depends on who you marry.

She had great confidence in Ying Shunian, knew he was a reliable person, and was willing to marry him and spend her life with him.

However, while she no longer rejects having children, she's not entirely willing to...

But unlike in her first life when she worried that she couldn't fulfill the role of a mother and that she wouldn't be able to raise the child well, her current problem is that whenever she thinks of the child, she thinks of Nian Nian.
