Rebirth of the Wealthy Villainess

Su Man woke up in a daze. Although she hadn’t fully recovered her consciousness, her heart was heavy, as if there had been a huge stone pressing against her chest for an extended period of time.

When she fully awoke, her mind immediately jumped to the bad news she still couldn’t accept – the truth that had turned her worldview upside down.

However, Su Man quickly noticed something strange about her surroundings.

It seemed she was lying in bed in a room that was not particularly foreign to her.

Su Man sat up in the bed, touched her warm neck, and looked around.

She was in a clean, bright, high-end apartment with familiar furniture and decor.

This was a place she’d rented several years ago, one that had been surrendered long ago. How could she be here!

She thought she was dead! She had been killed by a car!

She had even seen the truth of the world, having replayed the novel’s plot over and over again.

Su Man pinched herself hard and felt pain. She got up and touched the objects around her one by one. There was nothing wrong; they were all familiar things to her.

Did she just wake up from a dream?

After being stunned for a few seconds, she reorganized all the events she had experienced in the past and the details of the “novel” in her mind.

Considering the sheer amount of information that flickered through her thoughts as she processed her past along with the unbelievable nature of the novel’s plot, Su Man quickly dismissed the idea that everything had been a dream.

Su Man hurried to the window and looked out. This was really the apartment and community she had lived in.

What’s more, the figure reflected from the window was a younger version of herself!

At this time, the sun outside the window bathed Su Man’s face in a dewy glow, which made her feel a little warm and even dazzling. Everything was too real and detailed. This was not a dream, nor just a novel to be read in an apathetic manner. This was her world – the world she used to live in.

An incredulous expression slowly appeared on Su Man’s pale and cold face.

The first thing she wanted to do was to acquire additional information to confirm her current situation and everything she knew in her previous life.

Su Man quickly found her cell phone. The moment the phone screen lit up, a surprise colored her face, followed by relief and happiness.

The phone screen clearly indicated that the date was September 5th, 2011. It was ten years in the past, shortly after she had returned to China, and also when she and Yan Cheng’an had only been dating for less than a year.

Su Man opened her phone, which was already old by her impression. She sifted through her records, from address books to text messages, photo albums, and chat software. She logged onto the Internet to search for recent news and interviews of the Su Group. And finally, she searched for the movie that Yan Cheng’an had starred in.

Looking at the past carefully, everything on the mobile phone shows a fact.

She’s back.

No one could do all this as a prank.

And then, Su Man looked at the name of Yan Cheng’an on the address book. Even though she was trembling, she remained determined.

The interface shows that the number has been dialed, and before she thought much about it, the gentle male voice that she was familiar with rang out on the other end of the phone.

“Manman, what’s wrong?”

It was Yan Chengan’s voice!

Su Man’s heart instantly hit the ground and was immediately filled with indescribable grievances and longing.

This time, full of grief and with a hard to hold-down sob, she told Yan Cheng’an what she thought.

“Where are you? I want to see you now! Right away!”

His girlfriend seldom called him on her initiative, and she rarely called him when he was in class, rehearsing, etc. Yan Cheng’an was a little surprised when he received Su Man’s call.

When he heard Su Man’s voice and state, which he had never heard before and was completely different, he immediately got up. He talked to the teachers and classmates in front of him who were discussing the script revision and said with a somewhat panicked and anxious demeanor they had never seen before that something had happened and that he needed to take a leave of absence.

Then, while he kept talking on the phone, he rushed to Su Man’s apartment as fast as he could.

At the same time, Su Man was slowly soothed from her overwhelming emotions.

She looked around the apartment and stared at the phone without hanging up. Yan Cheng’an’s call log, which comforted her and informed her that he was on his way, made her recall the time when she came back.

At this time, she seemed to have returned to China to work in the Group as a Management Trainee. Through her classmates abroad, she coincidentally met and dated her high school classmate, Yan Cheng’an.

She also bought a high-end apartment near the company as a place to rest because it is more convenient.

Although she didn’t go back to the beginning, she could start over with the best start.

But many things have not yet happened, and many things have yet to change. She had all the previous memories and the memories of the “plot.”

In summary, the “protagonist” should still be in his third year of high school, and the Su family’s father and son are still trying to hide all this.

But, what Su Man wanted now was to see Yan Cheng’an immediately and confirm all this.

When Yan Cheng’an arrived at Su Man’s apartment door, he knocked on the door and saw Su Man, who was undecorated, only wearing pajamas and slippers. With red eyes, she rushed up and hugged him when she saw him.

Yan Cheng’an hadn’t asked what happened to Su Man, but he saw Su Man seemed to be alright. He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He let her hold him like this and slowly patted her back.

Su Man’s skin was cold when Yan Cheng’an touched her at this time. She appeared to have stood in the wind for a long time in the winter.

“It’s okay. I’m here. Is there anything you want to tell me?”

As Yan Cheng’an spoke, he felt his girlfriend holding him tighter and even felt the slight trembling of the other party. So, he was eager to confirm something.

He was aware of the panic that Su Man could not hide. He also felt the other party’s extreme desire to seek a sense of security, and his heart became more confused and worried.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

Yan Cheng’an whispered firmly in her ear, looking around to find a reason why Su Man appeared to be in such a fragile and abnormal state.

In Yan Chengan’s arms, Su Man felt his warm body temperature, the real touch, and the strength of embracing her. Su Man has finally settled down.

It was good that she’s back!

And he was still here! In front of her, alive and warm, touchable by her!

At this time, Su Man extremely coveted this truth and warmth and was more determined in her heart that she must protect everything she cared about!

She must become stronger and never let the people she cared about get hurt anymore!

After holding each other for a long time, Su Man slowly loosened out of Yan Chengan’s arms, but her hand was still holding tightly to him, and her body was extremely close.

“Just now, I had a nightmare that I had lost you and couldn’t get you back. It was especially real and scary.”

Yan Cheng’an was even more amazed and suspicious because Su Man was not the kind of person who would be scared by a dream.

In particular, her real and intense emotion didn’t seem to be a dream at all.

But looking at Su Man as if she didn’t want to say more, in his eyes, she seemed to be completely different from the previous days. Yan Cheng’an didn’t ask again since there was still a faint fear, agony, and despair that was full of attachment to him.

Yan Cheng’an let her feel his presence and warmth once more as he took her icy hand in his and held her in his arms.

Today’s Su Man was wearing only a thin nightgown, and her hair was a mess. Unlike the old days when she was beautiful and delicate in front of people. As if never fully dressed and perfect.

“Feeling better now? Shall I go get you a glass of water?”

Yan Cheng’an looked at Su Man with deep and gentle eyes and carefully treated her with fragility today.

Su Man immediately shook her head, “No, I don’t want to drink.”

Yan Cheng’an looked at Su Man, who was very unusual today and asked her.

“Then, what do you want?”

Yan Cheng’an’s hand eased for a second before tightening again as Su Man stared out the window. After a long time, she said seriously and firmly in a demanding tone, “I want you not to go and hold me again.”

Yan Cheng’an’s eyes were stunned for a moment. Before Su Man could see it clearly, he hugged her again.

Su Man’s figure was gentle, which contrasted with her stern and self-reliant demeanor.

Su Man nestled in Yan Cheng’an’s arms, which were quite warm, listening to his heartbeat and pulse. Her demeanor was both serene and tumultuous.

Yan Cheng’an held her for a long time, and even he didn’t know how long he held her. He just felt that the person’s temperature in his arms had risen. He also felt that his temperature had become even a little hot.

During this moment, he noticed Su Man’s slightly reddened ears but failed to notice that his ears were also a little reddened.

“Okay, I’m fine with that.”

Su Man also knew that her show today must be bizarre for Yan Cheng’an, who was completely unaware of it.

However, she is his future wife and current girlfriend.

It’s not a big deal to hug for a while.

Su Man persisted in finding a justification for herself, pretended to be calm, and returned to her previous state until her stomach made a noise without warning.

Yan Cheng’an let her go, and his arms suddenly felt empty, and he was at a loss for what to do. It’s almost ten o’clock, according to the wall clock.

“Have you not eaten breakfast yet? Let’s go out for a walk now.”

Su Man was still in a heavy mood, and suddenly her stomach was grumbling in the air. Her face could only pretend that nothing had happened.

Yan Cheng’an also looked like he didn’t hear anything and was ready to get up.

Su Man, however, reflexively pulled him again and stared at him without letting go. She looked down and saw that she was still wearing pajamas.

After looking at the clock, Su Man said to Yan Cheng’an to wait for her for ten minutes and went to the cloakroom as fast as she could.

Su Man, who was born lovely and grew up to be the apartment’s top beauty, naturally possesses snow-like complexion, curved thin brows, phoenix eyes, a tall and small nose, and thin lips that make her look cold and beautiful.

In addition, she didn’t like to smile at all. She always had a sense of alienation that refused people thousands of miles away, which was different from her usual temperament and dress, and most people dared not get close to her. 

And such excellent cold beauty, especially the beauty who was usually extremely rational and indifferent to everyone, always pretends to sweep you inadvertently, as if she were afraid you would leave.

On the other hand, Yan Cheng’an, who had the same appearance and temperament, also looks tall and handsome. The beauty of two ordinary people was appealing to the eye.

Yan Cheng’an consciously took the initiative to hold Su Man’s hand when leaving the apartment building, rather than waiting for Su Man to take the initiative.

They didn’t go to any restaurant but simply ate a few bites in the nearby porridge shop. Su Man was still in a lousy mood and unable to eat, and they went out again for a walk.

They just strolled, aimlessly letting Su Man ease her mood.

A mobile phone call abruptly disrupted the serene environment created by the agreement not to say anything.

Su Man took out her cell phone. The phone screen showed the caller ― Zheng Ming.

She just pressed the end call button directly.

Who knows, the phone was immediately repeatedly called. Su Man frowned and hung up again.

Now, she didn’t want to answer anyone’s call. What’s more, it’s this insignificant mean man.

Su Man, on the other hand, quickly noticed the message from the other party.

Zheng Ming: [What’s wrong with you?! You just missed work without taking leave and hung up my call? Reply quickly and give me a reasonable explanation!]

Su Man, who had been the president for a long time before she was reborn, frowned in confusion. She was absent from work?
