An Nuan at the side really didn't want to listen any longer, nor did she want to watch any further. She just felt that every word Xu Ruowei said made her want to vomit.
Xu Ruowei's act, her words, were very clumsy, easily seen through. Yet Shen Xizhou believed what she said.
Thinking about it, it really felt incredibly ridiculous.
She spoke coldly, "Xu Ruowei, put away your hypocrisy. Your pretense disgusts me to the extreme."
"If you want to seek attention, you really don't need to do it in front of me. Your little schemes are useless when directed at me."
"You'd be better off putting more thought into Shen Xizhou."
"Xu Ruowei, you're directing your attention to the wrong person. You shouldn't be focusing on me. You should know better than anyone that there are many people outside who have their eyes on Shen Xizhou. What's the point of you watching me all day instead of going after him?"
"Don't target the wrong person. By then, if Shen Xizhou is snatched away, you won't even have a chance to cry."
She glanced at Xu Ruowei and said coldly and firmly, "If I don't want trash, and you pick it up, then you should keep it. I have no interest in recycling garbage."
"An Nuan, what you're saying is too much. How can you slander Xizhou like this?"
"Is it because you can't have him that you want to destroy him?"
Xu Ruowei said with a thick sob, "An Nuan, if you want to hate, then hate me. You should hate me, not Xizhou. This is all my fault."
An Nuan looked at Xu Ruowei with disgust. Was she not being clear enough? She had already said she had no feelings for Shen Xizhou.
"Xu Ruowei, how much you love Shen Xizhou is your business."
"You treat him like a treasure, but in my eyes, he's not even as good as trash."
"Xizhou..." Xu Ruowei's eyes reddened, and she lowered her head, her voice filled with deep apology. "Xizhou, I just don't want An Nuan to misunderstand you. I don't want anyone to slander you."
"But, Xizhou, I didn't expect An Nuan to say such things about you."
"Perhaps all of this is because of me."
"Because of me, this outcome was caused."
"It's all my fault."
"An Nuan." Shen Xizhou glared at An Nuan menacingly, gritting his teeth. "An Nuan, does every word you say have to provoke Ruowei for you to be happy?"
"An Nuan, if Ruowei can't think straight because of you and something happens to her, I will not let you go."
"In this life, you'll never live peacefully."
An Nuan just listened quietly, not even wanting to refute.
In her opinion, there was no need to refute.
Shen Xizhou always said something like this to her. She was used to it. Once he finished speaking, it would be over.
An Nuan was used to it and didn't want to answer or defend herself.
But Nangong Jin couldn't stand it any longer.
"Shen Xizhou, do you really think An Nuan has no one to protect her?"
"An Nuan had no one to protect her before, but now, I am by her side. I absolutely will not allow anyone to harm her in the slightest."
"Unless you step over my dead body."
"To protect someone with a venomous heart, you slander An Nuan like this. Shen Xizhou, you're truly something."
"Yes, An Nuan is indeed carrying my child. When the full moon celebration comes, if Mr. Shen wishes to attend, I will reserve a seat for you."
"After all, in this life, Mr. Shen will never have his own children."
"Shen Xizhou, when you find out the truth later, and realize you were played for a fool by a woman, you will surely regret it."
Nangong Jin said coldly, his voice filled with a terrifying aura.
"Shen Xizhou, one day, you will regret it."
"Your latter half of life will be spent in repentance."
"Everything you're doing now, you'll regret one by one later."
Nangong Jin's gaze fell disdainfully on Xu Ruowei, and he said coldly, "By then, even if you wanted to kneel before An Nuan to beg for forgiveness, you probably won't have the chance."
"After all, I will not allow anyone who has hurt An Nuan to appear before her and disturb her peaceful life."
Shen Xizhou didn't care about Nangong Jin's words.
He didn't care about Nangong Jin's words. But when his gaze fell on Nangong Jin's hand, on An Nuan's waist, he became insanely jealous.
He wished he could rip Nangong Jin's hand off An Nuan.
His face was unusually grim.
"Nangong Jin, for a woman like this, you will regret it. It's still possible to pull away now."
"But later, you probably won't be able to pull away and will be stuck."
"Oh, right, Nangong Jin, I'll kindly remind you, it's still necessary to verify whether the child in An Nuan's belly is yours."
"Don't end up being a happy father to someone else's child. By then, even if you regret it to your gut, it'll be useless."
"Shen Xizhou, I will not believe a single word you say."
"I know what kind of person An Nuan is better than anyone. I trust her. Even if she wanted my life, I wouldn't blink an eye."
Nangong Jin said firmly.
If he could say such things when he was present, then what about when he wasn't?
What kind of life did An Nuan live before? How did she endure it alone?
"Heh, you'd give your life even for her?"
Shen Xizhou scoffed coldly and said, "Don't you know about those who lost their lives because of An Nuan?"
"Nangong Jin, is it worth doing so much for such a lying, dirty woman?"
An Nuan's hands were clenched tightly, her fingernails digging into her palms, drawing blood, yet she felt no pain.
Shen Xizhou's slandering words to her were truly unchanging. She thought she wouldn't care anymore. But now it seemed she had overestimated herself.
It turned out that when she heard these words, she still felt heartbroken.
She was heartbroken, not because Shen Xizhou treated her like this, but because she was treated like this by Shen Xizhou.
Heartbroken that she had been blind back then to fall for such a man.
However, Xu Ruowei, who was originally in a bad mood, felt much better upon hearing what Shen Xizhou said to An Nuan.
Heh, it should be like this.
Shen Xizhou should treat An Nuan this way. She just wouldn't allow An Nuan to live more comfortably than herself.
An Nuan should be treated like this by Shen Xizhou. In Shen Xizhou's heart, she was the most important one, irreplaceable.
