After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 469 - 218: I’m Not Worthy of You, I’m Well Aware of That. _3
Xu Musen turned back and asked.
He then saw Zhao Lianmai hesitate slightly.
Xu Musen looked at her and thought she was upset by the jokes those two had made, and said with a smile, "You don’t need to mind them. They just like to talk nonsense, don’t think too much about it."
But Zhao Lianmai just looked up at him with an unchanged tone.
"I know I’m not worthy of you, I’m aware of that."
"..."
Xu Musen looked at her. Zhao Lianmai still wore her usual plain expression, saying things half of the girls really couldn’t say.
After all, there are plenty of women in their thirties, with two kids and three marriages behind them, who still dream of marrying a rich second generation man.
"Xiao Mai, you actually are excellent..."
Xu Musen wanted to say some nice things; after all, if Zhao Lianmai were in the public eye, she really would be seen as a paragon of grace and resilience.
But Zhao Lianmai didn’t dwell on this topic. She took an envelope out of her arms and handed it to Xu Musen.
"What’s this?"
"The money you lent me last time—I still owe some, I’ll repay you after the New Year."
Xu Musen weighed it, the business had done very well these two months, and Zhao Lianmai had also earned a good salary and bonus.
But feeling the envelope, it had tens of thousands in it. He was the one who paid her salary, so he knew this envelope probably contained all her savings.
With the envelope in his hand, Xu Musen said, "The New Year is coming. If you give me all your money, what will you do for the New Year purchases?"
"That’s my own business."
Zhao Lianmai spoke quietly.
Xu Musen responded with a chuckle, "True, you can buy less clothes for yourself, skip a meal, but what about your aunt and your sister? They’ve waited a whole year; you can’t let them have a poor celebration."
Faced with Xu Musen’s words.
Zhao Lianmai bit her lip. She knew well that her family couldn’t afford meat for the New Year’s feast while others slaughtered pigs and sheep.
Still, she had no intention of taking back the envelope.
"I understand you, but being too rigid sometimes isn’t good. Learning to adapt is how you can improve. Huhai is so big; wouldn’t it be better to settle down here someday and bring your mother and sister over?"
Xu Musen wasn’t just painting an unrealistic picture; Zhao Lianmai’s attitude and dedication at work meant she deserved a house of her own. If an employee as good as her couldn’t afford a house in the future, Xu Musen would consider himself a failure.
Xu Musen, holding the envelope, opened it, took out a portion, and handed the bigger part back to her.
"This is what I’m taking as interest. Keep the principal for now, go have a good New Year, and watch out. I might make a home visit during the festival. If I find out that your aunt and sister haven’t eaten well, I will deduct it from your wages."
Xu Musen said with a laugh, stuffing the envelope back into her hands.
Zhao Lianmai was a bit stunned as she looked at him, clutching the envelope. These words, this was the first time someone had spoken to her like this.
And it was the first time someone had shown such concern for her family.
But before she could react,
Xu Musen took out another new envelope and stuffed the money he had just taken back into it.
He handed it to Zhao Lianmai as well.
"It’s the New Year, and I didn’t have time to prepare employee benefits. Consider this New Year’s gift money for your sister, and it’s not for you, don’t pocket it, take it."
Xu Musen joked as he spoke.
Zhao Lianmai held two envelopes in her hands.
She bit her lip, holding the envelopes, her bright eyes looking at Xu Musen, seemingly with much to say, but ultimately, she swallowed her words and just stared at him unwaveringly.
"I know I’m handsome, but you don’t have to stare at me like that, I’ll get shy."
Xu Musen said in a teasing manner, trying to lighten the mood.

Zhao Lianmai gazed at him for a while, then suddenly, she actually smiled a little.
"You have the thickest skin… but thank you."
Xu Musen laughed loudly, "Xiao Mai, you actually look quite pretty when you smile. You should smile more often."
But Zhao Lianmai slowly withdrew her smile and turned back to her work.
Xu Musen got ready and prepared to drive to pick up Xiao Sickly Cutie.
The car drove off.
Zhao Lianmai stood at the counter, watching the direction in which his car disappeared, for a long time, her bright eyes trembling slightly.
Finally, she shook her head gently, but her lips curved into a beautiful arc.
Perhaps, sometimes the charm of a person inadvertently plants something in someone’s heart.
This year will surely be lively and happy...
Yes, Boss Xu, Happy New Year.
