An Nuan smiled, her smile widening. It was as if she had anticipated Shen Xizhou would say such things.
She thought, if he had stepped forward and treated her this way back then, she and Shen Xizhou would not have ended up like this.
But what was meant to happen had happened, and it could no longer be changed.
For him, having no connection with Shen Xizhou was the best.
For her and Shen Xizhou, there was no possibility in this lifetime.
"Shen Xizhou, don't waste your time on me. I truly don't care about what you've said."
"Besides, I've already made myself clear about what I needed to say. It's useless for you to keep pestering me like this."
"Shen Xizhou, if you truly love me, then just hide that love away."
"I am living a very happy life now. I don't need someone to disturb my happiness."
She now had Nangong Jin and didn't want any further entanglement with Shen Xizhou.
"An Nuan, I've also said that I will always love you. In this life, you will only belong to me. Even if I have to imprison you, I will do it."
Shen Xizhou said seriously, but An Nuan clearly wasn't listening.
In her eyes, he could say whatever he wanted; she would never believe him.
She thought that if she just listened quietly until he finished speaking, he would leave.
However, just as she was thinking he would leave soon, Shen Xizhou suddenly embraced her tightly.
An Nuan felt disgusted by Shen Xizhou's closeness.
"Shen Xizhou, let go of me."
An Nuan used all her strength, struggling.
Even though she knew she wasn't feeling well, An Nuan still struggled with all her might.
Meeting the bloodthirsty look in Shen Xizhou's eyes, An Nuan became even more determined that she had to leave this place immediately.
As Shen Xizhou held An Nuan, he whispered softly into her ear, "An Nuan, will you come back to me?"
An Nuan, who had been struggling, stopped. She merely looked at Shen Xizhou with cold eyes.
Shen Xizhou's hands released her. An Nuan's hateful gaze had truly startled him.
He became even more afraid that An Nuan would end up hating him because of this.
Finally, Shen Xizhou let go.
An Nuan fumbled beside her, her hand finding a vase. She then smashed it directly at Shen Xizhou.
Blood, blood flowed from Shen Xizhou's head.
Shen Xizhou finally let go of An Nuan completely. He clutched the wound on his head, looking at An Nuan with disbelief in his eyes.
A trace of fear flickered in An Nuan's eyes, and her whole body trembled.
Ultimately, she suppressed the fear in her heart and quickly created distance between herself and Shen Xizhou.
"Shen Xizhou, you brought this upon yourself. You can't blame me for this."
"It's your own doing."
Shen Xizhou just watched An Nuan quietly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He simply couldn't believe that An Nuan had truly become this way.
He had no faith in her at all.
Although his head was injured, he found that his head didn't hurt; his heart ached intensely, so much so that he couldn't breathe.
An Nuan truly hated him to the core to have attacked him so fiercely.
If she hadn't hated him so deeply, if she hadn't felt such extreme loathing for him, this would not have happened.
At this moment, Shen Xizhou wasn't angry at all. Instead, he was thinking that An Nuan must have her reasons for doing this.
He had to clearly remember how viciously he had treated An Nuan in the past. For An Nuan to treat him like this now could be considered not having dealt a fatal blow.
He thought, let this be his repayment to her. This was all he owed An Nuan.
Thinking about the ruthlessness he had shown An Nuan back then, the contrast with the present was truly worlds apart.
"An Nuan, are you feeling any better after that strike?"
"An Nuan, if you're still not satisfied, you can continue until you are."
"An Nuan, you can do anything you want to me, as long as you can forgive me."
An Nuan looked at Shen Xizhou and found his words utterly ridiculous.
Did he think that by saying this, she would forgive him?
Had he forgotten what he had done to her?
Ha, to think he expected her to forgive him just like that, it was simply absurd.
Before An Nuan could speak, Shen Xizhou's eyes turned an eerie crimson, as if he wanted to tear her apart: "An Nuan, what do I have to do for you to forgive me?"
An Nuan thought she needed to make things clear to Shen Xizhou. However, just as she was about to speak, Shen Xizhou spoke again: "An Nuan, perhaps if I give you my life, you will forgive me?"
"Fine, if that's the case, then take my life. Just come back to me."
"As long as you don't marry Nangong Jin."
Listening to Shen Xizhou's words, An Nuan finally understood that there was truly nothing more to say.
Anything she said to Shen Xizhou was already futile.
Heh, Shen Xizhou really had a grand plan.
He said, "An Nuan, come back to me." Did she have to obediently listen and return to him? Did he think that everyone in the world revolved around him, that he could have whatever he desired?
"Shen Xizhou, I don't love you anymore. Staying by your side would only disgust me."
"Shen Xizhou, there is no longer any possibility between us."
"An Nuan, I truly underestimated you."
Shen Xizhou stared intently at An Nuan, as if he wanted to kill her.
He stepped forward, grabbed An Nuan's neck, forced her to look at him, and said coldly, "An Nuan, what's so good about Nangong Jin that you'd reject me for him?"
"An Nuan, I'm telling you, in this life, you are mine and no one else's."
An Nuan laughed, laughing heartily: "Heh."
"Shen Xizhou, even if you kill me, I won't be with you."
"Is that so?"
Shen Xizhou looked at An Nuan and said coldly, "An Nuan, I will not give up. I will pester you for the rest of my life."
"I will make you accept me again."
An Nuan sneered: "Shen Xizhou, then let me tell you right now, I will not accept you."
"Even if I die, I will not be with you."
An Nuan's words completely ignited Shen Xizhou's rage.
How dare she say such a thing?
Shen Xizhou hated Nangong Jin to death. If it weren't for Nangong Jin, he and An Nuan would not be in this situation.
