The reasoning is valid.
However, An Nuan knew more clearly that if it weren't for Nangong Jin's help, even with her capabilities, it would be useless.
Reality is indeed that cruel.
But listening to Nangong Jin, he said, "That's your capability. If you didn't have the capability, even if I wanted to help, I couldn't."
She liked hearing that, "your own capability."
An Nuan's mood instantly brightened.
As long as one lives optimistically, everything will move in a good direction.
"An Nuan, I knew you were the most amazing."
An Nuan smiled and said, "Nangong Jin, besides my family, you are the best person to me in this world. Nangong Jin, it's truly wonderful to have you now."
To have you in this life is my good fortune.
I will work hard to be your girlfriend, I will work hard to fall in love with you, and I will work hard to push that person out of my heart.
Nangong Jin's face was full of smiles.
He had been waiting for these words from An Nuan for a long time, and finally heard them today. He was truly touched.
"By the way, Nangong Jin, to avoid further complications, that cooperation project..."
"Don't worry, those people before couldn't touch that cooperation project. It has already been signed."
Hearing Nangong Jin say this, An Nuan's worried heart finally relaxed.
"Right, I want to throw a celebration banquet for you, to let everyone know about this. Let them see how amazing my An Nuan is."
Upon hearing this, An Nuan quickly shook her head, her voice sounding somewhat pleading, "Nangong Jin, no."
"Why?" Nangong Jin asked, looking at An Nuan with confusion.
"I don't want those people to approve. As long as you approve, that's enough."
"Besides, haven't you forgotten that Shen Shuhui still has people around you? It wouldn't be good if word got out."
"This matter is actually quite ordinary. If you insist on holding a celebration banquet for me, there will likely be more gossip. That would be truly bad."
"But such a joyous occasion, we can't just..." Nangong Jin thought that they couldn't not celebrate at all, just let it be? That would be too unfair to An Nuan.
"Fine, I'll listen to you and not hold a celebration banquet. But, we still need to celebrate."
"I'll celebrate with you, okay?"
An Nuan originally wanted to say "no need." But meeting Nangong Jin's passionate gaze, the words of refusal now sounded cruel.
Seeing Nangong Jin so enthusiastic, she really couldn't bring herself to say those disheartening words.
In the end, An Nuan agreed.
Nangong Jin knew what An Nuan was worried about, so he didn't put too much pressure on her.
Many things, in the end, must be done slowly.
For such a significant event, only Nangong Jin celebrated with An Nuan.
Actually, for An Nuan, this was already very good. If a celebration banquet were truly held, those people wouldn't genuinely be celebrating her. Each of them might be waiting to laugh at her.
Nangong Jin and An Nuan were celebrating at a newly opened restaurant. As they were about to leave, they encountered Huo Yunshen.
Nangong Jin's brows furrowed, and he instinctively shielded An Nuan behind him, preventing Huo Yunshen from harming her.
Huo Yunshen was too terrifying. He knew everything Huo Yunshen had done to An Nuan, so he was very cautious when dealing with him.
Huo Yunshen chuckled softly.
Suddenly, as An Nuan walked past Huo Yunshen, his gaze fell upon her, and he directly blocked her path forward.
Nangong Jin looked at Huo Yunshen warily. What did this person want to do? However, with him here protecting An Nuan, he believed Huo Yunshen wouldn't dare to act rashly.
"Huo Yunshen, move aside. What do you want?"
Huo Yunshen sneered. His gaze wasn't on Nangong Jin, but on An Nuan. He said calmly, "An Nuan, you chose Nangong Jin, that was the right choice. Stay far away from Shen Xizhou."
"Shen Xizhou has problems with his brain, beyond any hope of recovery," Huo Yunshen said earnestly, his true thoughts at that moment unclear.
"..."
An Nuan looked at Huo Yunshen in surprise, her eyes filled with deep confusion. She couldn't understand why Huo Yunshen had stopped her to say these words.
He had gone to great lengths to find her, only to say these things to her.
If she remembered correctly, Huo Yunshen was very obedient to Xu Ruowei, always doing whatever Xu Ruowei said.
Now, to say these things in front of her, it was truly hard to believe.
Had she missed something while she was busy with her own affairs during this time?
Although she felt that Huo Yunshen's words were not wrong, she dared not relax at all. She continued to watch the person in front of her vigilantly.
Perhaps, Huo Yunshen saying so much in front of her was a way to scheme against her.
Perhaps, this was Xu Ruowei and Huo Yunshen's plan.
She would no longer easily believe anyone's words. Moreover, this person in front of her had harmed her before. She was even less likely to believe his words, even if everything he said now was true.
"An Nuan already knows all of this. You don't need to remind her specifically here."
"Are you finished speaking? If you are, can you please leave our sight?" Nangong Jin said coldly.
What Huo Yunshen said wasn't particularly provoking, so Nangong Jin's words were relatively calm, not like he wanted to drive someone away immediately.
"You don't believe what I'm saying?" Huo Yunshen's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He was rarely trying to be a good person, why didn't anyone believe him?
He seemed to have forgotten how he had treated An Nuan, how he had tormented her back then.
"Yes, we indeed don't believe you." Nangong Jin showed no intention of being tactful, speaking loudly and giving Huo Yunshen no face.
Nangong Jin looked at Huo Yunshen and said coldly, "If you want us to believe you, what you should do now is not talk here, but explain everything through actions. Do you understand?"
Huo Yunshen thought for a moment and actually nodded. He seemed to agree with Nangong Jin's words.
"Yes, I think what you said is right."
The two of them lost their earlier momentum to fight, and instead, they began to coexist peacefully.
An Nuan, standing to the side, watched the two of them and listened to their conversation. Suddenly, she felt as if she were superfluous, and very out of place being there.
