Ji Wenyun, upon learning these things, could hardly believe that such a vicious woman could exist in this world.
How could she have done such things so easily, and still maintain a smiling face while interacting with him? And he, completely deceived by her. He had never doubted her words.
The most terrifying thing was that he had unknowingly become her accomplice.
Thinking back now, it was truly terrifying.
Recalling all the things he had done for Xia Wanqing, it felt utterly foolish.
"Xia Wanqing, I know everything about your schemes against An Nuan, I'm very clear about it now."
"Wen Yun, no, it's not like that, you've misunderstood me." Xia Wanqing anxiously explained, her only thought at that moment was to hold onto Ji Wenyun tightly.
"By the way, wasn't it An Nuan who did all those things for Shen Xizhou back then? And that Xu Ruowei just snatched everything that belonged to An Nuan?"
"Also, everything you have now belongs to An Nuan's efforts."
"You stole An Nuan's designs and pretended they were your own. Xia Wanqing, you are truly utterly vicious."
"No, please stop talking, it's not like that. I didn't, I haven't done anything."
"Those things are all lies, Wen Yun, you must believe me."
"Wen Yun, those things must have been framed by Nangong Jin to protect An Nuan. Nangong Jin is willing to do anything for An Nuan."
"Xia Wanqing, do you believe those words when you say them? It's come to this, please don't say anymore."
"I have thoughts, I have eyes, I can see everything clearly."
"With so much evidence before you, you are still quibbling at this point. Xia Wanqing, you are truly beyond redemption."
"Xia Wanqing, I had thought that even if you had made many mistakes, considering our years together, I would overlook them and let you go. But I never expected you to be so incorrigible."
"Actually, you should know. These things would eventually be discovered. It's impossible for them not to be."
"Get out, get out."
"No, you are not Ji Wenyun. You are fake."
"Wen Yun, Wen Yun would never treat me like this. Wen Yun promised he would protect me forever. But you, the person standing before me, are constantly questioning me. Even for another woman like this."
"If you are the real Ji Wenyun, then wouldn't your conscience be uneasy?"
"Xia Wanqing, get out of my sight, or I will take action right now."
"Think carefully, do you want to be finished now, or live for a few more days."
Xia Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then chose to leave without hesitation.
This incident happened too suddenly, and she didn't have time to think carefully about how to handle it. Therefore, in the entire conversation, she was very passive.
In fact, after calming down, she realized she had said many wrong things earlier.
...
After Nangong Jin had handled everything, he didn't rush to see An Nuan. Instead, he went back to his apartment, tidied himself up, and changed his clothes.
He didn't want any trace of Xia Wanqing on him.
He found such a vicious woman disgusting. And he couldn't let An Nuan know that he had met Xia Wanqing.
Even for An Nuan's sake, he didn't want her to know about this.
If An Nuan knew, she might ask him to forgive Xia Wanqing. An Nuan was simply too kind.
Therefore, he felt that some things should not be told to An Nuan, and he would handle some matters for her.
At the company.
An Nuan had finished processing all the documents and was massaging her sore shoulder with her own hand.
At this moment, she felt a comfortable force massaging her shoulder.
"An Nuan, if you're tired, go rest."
"I'm truly sorry. I promised you that I wouldn't let you suffer, let alone hardship."
"But I had my own matters to attend to, so I handed everything over to you."
"Letting you carry it all alone, I'm sorry." Nangong Jin's voice was full of guilt.
"Nangong Jin, you don't need to apologize to me."
"Really, you don't. In fact, for me, I am already very content. So, you don't need to feel too guilty."
"But..."
An Nuan gently held Nangong Jin's hand and said softly, "Do you know? I am very happy when I am busy with work."
Hearing An Nuan say this, Nangong Jin finally felt relieved.
She noticed that Nangong Jin's embrace tightened. Her eyes were full of worry. Had this matter not gone smoothly?
Thinking this, her heart sank further.
She looked at Nangong Jin carefully, and after a long while, she asked, "Nangong Jin, was this matter not handled well?"
Nangong Jin: ...
No, it wasn't that it wasn't handled well; the matter was resolved. But when he learned of these things, he was furious. He even wanted to beat himself. He even thought that if he had appeared earlier, An Nuan wouldn't have suffered so much.
Now, An Nuan could be said to have finally found happiness after hardship.
He was thinking that he must treat An Nuan well.
An Nuan waited for Nangong Jin's reply, but found that he hadn't answered.
Her heart sank, and her expression became extremely distressed.
It seemed that the matter had indeed not progressed smoothly.
Thinking this, her heart ached. She wondered what she could say to comfort him.
Looking at Nangong Jin, An Nuan's gaze was a bit complicated. After a long while, she finally said, "Nangong Jin, it's okay if things didn't go smoothly. I will always be by your side to accompany you."
"Nangong Jin, I believe we can overcome any obstacles ahead."
"As long as we consistently believe in our success."
An Nuan knew that these comforting words might be of no use to him. However, this was the best way she could express her gratitude to him.
Nangong Jin shook his head, "An Nuan, don't overthink it. Everything is progressing very smoothly. Don't worry."
An Nuan nodded, thinking that he was probably just comforting her.
"Yes, Nangong Jin, I believe your words, and even more so, I believe in any decision you make."
"I will always be by your side to support you."
Upon hearing An Nuan's words, Nangong Jin looked at her with surprise.
He had never imagined that one day he would hear An Nuan say such a thing to him.
"No, An Nuan, if anyone should be thanked, it is you. If it weren't for you, perhaps there would be no current An Nuan."
