"Shen Xizhou, even at this point, you can still say such things. It shows you are not truly repentant."
"Shen Xizhou, do you think An Nuan wronged you? But, Shen Xizhou, it seems that it's always been you who wronged An Nuan." Nangong Jin said coldly.
"You have never experienced what An Nuan has gone through, which is why you can speak so easily. If you had, you wouldn't say such things."
"Shen Xizhou, back then, An Nuan knelt before you, begging you to believe her words, begging you to give her a chance, but how did you treat her?"
"You let Xu Ruowei hurt her without restraint, plunging her into endless sorrow."
"You said you knew everything."
"Heh, really? What Xu Ruowei did to An Nuan was far more despicable than what you found out."
"Do you know? In the past, you were her courage to live. She always believed that as long as she persevered, one day, you would see her worth, one day, you would know she was misunderstood."
"But she kept waiting, and waiting, and then slowly became disappointed."
"Shen Xizhou, in this life, what you owe An Nuan is more than just a life."
"Shen Xizhou, everyone deserves An Nuan, only you don't."
Shen Xizhou clenched his fists. His icy gaze fell on An Nuan. Listening to Nangong Jin's words, he let out a cold scoff.
Whether he was worthy of An Nuan was not for Nangong Jin to decide.
"Nangong Jin, whether I am worthy or not is not for you to say."
An Nuan had thought Shen Xizhou had already left. She never expected him to still be here. Her face turned extremely grim, and she said coldly, "Mr. Shen, please leave."
Hearing An Nuan's words, Shen Xizhou's mood was clearly not good. Did she really want to drive him away?
Did she dislike him so much?
Shen Xizhou's gaze fell on An Nuan. "An Nuan, if you want to get back what belongs to your brother, then obediently return to my side."
"Shen Xizhou, what are you talking about? Yun Xiu's things are in your hands? What are they? Give them to me!" An Nuan said excitedly.
An Nuan, who had been calm all along, could no longer remain composed upon hearing about An Yun Xiu.
Shen Xizhou's lips curved into a smile. He knew very well that An Nuan cared most about An Yun Xiu. See, as soon as he mentioned An Yun Xiu, she was already agitated.
Shen Xizhou did not answer An Nuan directly. Instead, he chuckled and said, "An Nuan, you'd better listen to me obediently and do as I say. If I'm in a good mood, I might give you back the things that belong to An Yun Xiu, one by one."
"How you behave is up to you."
"Shen Xizhou, are you insane? At this point, you're still threatening An Nuan. Shen Xizhou, you said you regretted it, you said you wanted to win An Nuan's forgiveness, were all those words just nonsense?"
"Nangong Jin, what's wrong? Do you lack confidence? Are you worried An Nuan will listen to me? Are you afraid you'll be abandoned?"
"Heh, Nangong Jin, weren't you very proud just now? What's wrong? Are you scared now?"
"Ridiculous," Nangong Jin said sarcastically. "Shen Xizhou, I never expected you to resort to such despicable means to threaten An Nuan and take what you want."
"Shen Xizhou, you wouldn't be so naive as to think that by treating An Nuan this way, you could win her heart back, would you?"
"You need to think clearly. This will only push An Nuan further away. In this lifetime, you'll never get An Nuan's forgiveness."
Shen Xizhou's brow furrowed. He understood Nangong Jin's words, and he had indeed worried about these things. However, he couldn't stand seeing Nangong Jin standing before him like a victor. An Nuan should belong to him, and no one else.
His heart still ached, a deep, tearing pain that made it impossible to breathe.
"Heh, really? Whether she forgives me or not, it doesn't matter to me."
Shen Xizhou suppressed the discomfort in his heart and said coldly, "An Nuan, you'd better think clearly. There's only one chance. If you miss it, there won't be another."
"Shen Xizhou, you are too despicable. How can you say such things? You doing this..."
"That's my business."
"Shen Xizhou, if you really do this, you will lose An Nuan forever," Nangong Jin said through gritted teeth.
He stared intently at Shen Xizhou, his eyes filled with a terrifying aura. He couldn't understand how someone could be so detestable.
"Nangong Jin, forget it. Don't say anything more to this kind of person."
An Nuan truly did not want any further entanglement with Shen Xizhou. She did not want to continue talking.
As for why Shen Xizhou was doing this, or what he wanted, she didn't want to know or investigate.
She wondered if Yun Xiu really had something in Shen Xizhou's possession. If he did, she felt that if she didn't fight for it, it would be fine. She didn't think Yun Xiu would blame her.
Seeing An Nuan's unusually grim expression, Nangong Jin was full of concern. He stopped talking to Shen Xizhou.
He suddenly felt that he had been too agitated just now.
He should have been more aware of Shen Xizhou's shamelessness than anyone else.
Moreover, Shen Xizhou saying such things clearly meant he had An Nuan cornered. He should avoid such a situation.
"Nuannuan, how are you? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
An Nuan shook her head, glanced at Nangong Jin, and whispered in his ear, "Nangong Jin, forget it. Don't say anymore. Let's just let this go."
"Talking to him is just a waste of time."
Nangong Jin knew, but Shen Xizhou's words made him feel uncomfortable if he didn't retort. Most importantly, An Nuan was the one suffering. He did not want to see this.
"An Nuan." Hearing An Nuan's words, Nangong Jin's heart ached.
In fact, he didn't want to see An Nuan back down like this. He hoped An Nuan would stand up for herself.
But since An Nuan had said so, he would not insist any further.
He didn't want An Nuan to be troubled by this matter.
An Nuan looked at Shen Xizhou and said coldly, "Mr. Shen, I'm afraid it cannot be as you wish. If you want to keep those things, then keep them. I don't care."
"Mr. Shen, you don't seriously think that by using those things, you can make me obedient, do you?"
