"Hmph," Shen Xizhou let out a cold scoff, his voice chilling. "You think Nangong Jin is so good? But do you know how cruel he appears to outsiders? In the entire world, perhaps only you would call Nangong Jin a good person."
"Before he met you, do you know how many women Nangong Jin had scandalous news with?"
"He's a good person?" Shen Xizhou sneered, "You must be joking."
An Nuan felt the man before her was acting strangely, constantly badmouthing Nangong Jin.
However, she wouldn't believe a single word he said.
"Mr. Shen, are you finished?" An Nuan's tone was filled with displeasure. She said coldly, "I have other things to do. So, Mr. Shen, please do not come to me again in the future."
"Also, I've heard what Mr. Shen has to say. Mr. Shen doesn't need to repeat it."
"Furthermore, Mr. Shen's memory seems to be a bit poor. I recall telling you this many times before."
"But each time, Mr. Shen seems to forget."
All she wanted now was a peaceful life, to try and slowly accept Nangong Jin.
However, she was afraid. Would her body hold out until then?
Still, she didn't want to let Nangong Jin down. Even if she couldn't accompany him for a long time, spending her limited time by his side would be her way of repaying his kindness.
He had helped her too much, so much that she felt guilty.
She knew Nangong Jin was furious when he saw Shen Xizhou. Most importantly, Nangong Jin didn't want her to be too involved with Shen Xizhou.
It was understandable. Shen Xizhou had done so many things that hurt her.
She knew Nangong Jin's concern stemmed from his genuine care for her.
"Forget? An Nuan, that's because you always make things difficult for Ruo Wei. If it weren't for Ruo Wei, I wouldn't even spare you a glance."
"Knowing that Ruo Wei is hurt because of you makes me heartache."
"It's for Ruo Wei that I've come to see you. Otherwise, why do you think I would bother meeting you?"
"You don't honestly believe I'm here because I care about you or value you, do you?"
Saying this, Shen Xizhou reached out to pinch her chin, but An Nuan dodged him directly, looking at him coldly.
Her eyes were filled with disgust and disdain.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, she said sarcastically, "Mr. Shen, I am not the person you used to bully anymore."
"It seems the Shen Corporation isn't busy enough, which is why Shen Xizhou has time to come find me."
"It seems I need to have a good talk with Nangong Jin and make Mr. Shen busier. Only then will Mr. Shen not have leisure time to bother me."
"An Nuan."
Shen Xizhou looked at An Nuan with a bloodthirsty gaze, his eyes filled with a terrifying aura.
"An Nuan, do you truly hate me that much? Do you want to destroy me?"
"Even if Ruo Wei made a mistake, don't you bear any fault? If it weren't for you, Ruo Wei wouldn't have done those things."
If it weren't for you, Ruo Wei wouldn't have done those things.
So, Xu Ruo Wei's actions were all her fault. If she hadn't been there, Xu Ruo Wei wouldn't have done such things. Suddenly, she found it truly laughable.
Thinking back now, how ridiculous his vows to her back then seemed. It was like a joke.
Yet, she had clearly chosen to let go, but they still relentlessly pursued her, still clung to her, and blamed her for past mistakes.
Clearly, she was the one who had been hurt, but she could only be slandered.
Why did she have to endure all of this?
All the negative emotions surged up within her.
Shen Xizhou listened quietly to An Nuan's words, finding them incredibly amusing. He felt that what An Nuan was saying was utter nonsense.
Even if what she said were true, he would still not admit it.
"An Nuan."
Shen Xizhou looked at An Nuan with disdain, even wanting to strike her.
However, he met An Nuan's sarcastic smile.
"Mr. Shen, when you intend to act, please think carefully about what you will face next."
"An Nuan, are you threatening me? An Nuan, do you really think that with Nangong Jin, I wouldn't dare to touch you even slightly?"
"Yes, Nangong Jin is my backing. With Nangong Jin here, I know you wouldn't harm me in the slightest."
An Nuan said coldly, her eyes full of hatred.
"An Nuan, can't we sit down and talk properly? Clear up those misunderstandings."
"Mr. Shen, hah, you call those misunderstandings?"
"Mr. Shen, if you truly want to clear things up, then please sort out all the facts before saying such things to me."
An Nuan knew Shen Xizhou would never sort things out. Even if he did, what good would it do? As long as Xu Ruo Wei cried a few words, he would be heartbroken and side with Xu Ruo Wei again.
Thinking about it, it was truly laughable.
She had given Shen Xizhou too many chances; her heart was already tired. Therefore, she didn't want to give him any more.
She looked at Shen Xizhou coldly and said, "Mr. Shen, are you finished with what you wanted to say? If so, please move aside."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xizhou's anger instantly erupted.
An Nuan's cold demeanor and sarcastic words were all provoking him, making him angry and ruining his mood.
He looked at An Nuan coldly, "What if I don't move aside? Why should I listen to you and not move aside?"
Her gaze fell on Shen Xizhou. At this moment, she felt he was somewhat unreasonable.
She raised her eyes, looked directly at Shen Xizhou, and said with a light scoff, "Mr. Shen, sometimes I wonder, was it true when you said you loved me madly back then?"
"If you truly loved me, would you choose to believe Xu Ruo Wei's words? Shouldn't you unconditionally believe what I say?"
"So Mr. Shen, do you truly have me in your heart?"
"I think only you yourself know the answer to this."
"Oh, no. Perhaps, even you yourself are not clear."
"Perhaps, Mr. Shen is the most heartless. Perhaps, you have no one in your heart at all. Perhaps, the person you love most, from beginning to end, is only yourself."
"Shen Xizhou, you are not worthy of love."
Shen Xizhou's eyes were filled with ice. "An Nuan, anyone can say these words to me, but you cannot."
"If it weren't for you back then, those tragedies wouldn't have happened."
"I loved you too much, cared about you too much, and that's why things turned out this way."
"Yes, just as you said, I won't believe a single word you say."
