Seeing the sincere look in Nangong Jin's eyes, the unpleasant words were instantly unspoken.
Nangong Jin was truly a good person.
He had done so many good things for her.
"Nangong Jin, believe me, I will truly stay by your side for a lifetime," An Nuan said with absolute certainty.
"An Nuan, you haven't rested yet, have you? You haven't even eaten yet."
Nangong Jin knew that there was food at the company. An Nuan would never go hungry. He was just worried about her.
An Nuan nodded.
Initially, she wanted to shake her head, but in the end, she chose to nod.
"Nangong Jin, let's go back and eat. I'll cook for you myself, okay?" An Nuan's face was full of smiles, and the smile never left her face even as she spoke.
"Okay, whatever you say, Nuannuan."
"An Nuan, I want to eat braised pork. Can you make it?"
An Nuan stared intently at Nangong Jin, even wondering if he had been replaced.
"You can't?" Nangong Jin immediately changed his tune, "Actually, I don't have to have braised pork. Anything is fine."
"I'm really not picky at all."
"I eat everything. I eat very well."
Huo Yuxuan, standing nearby, looked at Nangong Jin with a look of existential doubt upon hearing his words.
Were those words meant to be heard? He thought that he definitely shouldn't have heard them.
However, since they were heard, what could he do to make it as if nothing had happened?
An Nuan did not realize what was wrong with Nangong Jin's words.
In fact, it couldn't really be blamed on Nangong Jin.
An Nuan looked at the foolish-looking Nangong Jin, gently tugged his hand, and whispered, "Let's go."
Work ended, then the supermarket, and then home.
Three hours later, a plate of burnt meat appeared before Nangong Jin.
Looking at the blackened meat, An Nuan felt guilty. She had never intended to serve it. However, Nangong Jin watched the entire process and insisted she serve it.
At this moment, she deeply regretted it.
The meat was truly an eyesore.
"Nangong Jin..."
Seeing Nangong Jin about to pick up his chopsticks, An Nuan protected the burnt meat and said cautiously, "Let's go out to eat. We can deal with this later."
Saying that, she tried to lead Nangong Jin out.
She had watched videos and thought it looked easy. More importantly, she had followed the instructions exactly, but for some reason, it had turned out so burnt. She couldn't even bear to look at it, let alone eat it.
"An Nuan."
Just as An Nuan was about to pull him away, Nangong Jin refused. He stared intently at An Nuan, as if telling her to put the food down.
Just as An Nuan was about to speak, Shen Xizhou appeared.
Nangong Jin watched Shen Xizhou appear and disappear at will, and he thought.
It seemed he had to find a new place. This person was like a persistent ghost.
The moment An Nuan saw Shen Xizhou, her expression turned grim. She looked at him warily, her eyes full of caution, as if saying: This person is dangerous. Why is he here?
Nangong Jin's gaze fell on the items on the table, and he said sarcastically, "What is this?"
"Nangong Jin, have you become so poor that you have to live like this?"
"Didn't you say you would protect An Nuan well and give her a happy life? What about now? What are you doing now?"
"Giving An Nuan such unappetizing food, Nangong Jin, is this how you treat An Nuan?"
An Nuan glanced at Shen Xizhou, and could only roll her eyes at his words.
"Shen Xizhou, even so, what does it have to do with you?"
Hah, she was truly sincere towards Nangong Jin. Even in such a state, she still wanted to help him.
"An Nuan, are you really that desperate for a man?"
"Leave Nangong Jin's side."
"Come to me, and I will give you whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, An Nuan's expression became extremely ugly.
She had indeed been treated this way before by Shen Xizhou, who spoke such disgusting words. But that was because she had wronged Shen Xizhou, and she deserved it.
However, Nangong Jin had done nothing wrong, and he shouldn't have to endure all of this with her.
"Shen Xizhou, shut your mouth."
"Shen Xizhou, I would rather die than go back to you."
"You wouldn't have forgotten how you didn't trust me back then, would you?"
An Nuan said coldly to Shen Xizhou, "Shen Xizhou, the thing you always criticize and despise is not something Nangong Jin prepared for me."
"I'm telling you, it was me. I cooked for Nangong Jin myself. However, the dish itself is really hard to describe."
"Do you know what? Nangong Jin said he would eat whatever I made without complaint."
"But do you know what you did? You called it garbage, but the garbage you mentioned was made by my own hands."
"I said I wanted to throw it away, but Nangong Jin refused."
"He insisted on eating it, but I wouldn't let him."
"I was afraid I would worry more. What if Nangong Jin's health suffered if he ate it?"
"Shen Xizhou, you should apologize to Nangong Jin."
"No, you should apologize to me."
"Also, Shen Xizhou, you are truly unworthy of appearing before me."
Nangong Jin's eyes instantly lit up.
This time, he was truly happy. This was the first time An Nuan had stood up for him.
He thought that in An Nuan's heart, his position must be different.
"Shen Xizhou, this is my and An Nuan's home. You are an uninvited guest. Please leave."
"Oh, and don't show up again in the future. If you don't listen, and something goes wrong, you will be responsible for all the consequences."
"Shen Xizhou, An Nuan is very good, truly very good. The best in the world."
"Shen Xizhou, please don't appear before us again."
Nangong Jin said coldly with a dark expression, "Before, it was for An Nuan's sake that I didn't want to lay hands on you. But now, I feel that my previous thoughts were incorrect."
"I should have acted from the beginning when I discovered it."
After saying these words, Nangong Jin didn't even spare Shen Xizhou another glance.
He looked at An Nuan and said gently, "Nuannuan, I will eat all of this. After all, it's your effort."
Shen Xizhou remained standing, not leaving.
Nangong Jin said coldly, "Do you want me to have someone escort you out?"
Shen Xizhou's eyes were full of unwillingness, but he did not speak first. He focused all his attention on An Nuan. What An Nuan said was paramount to him now.
Whatever An Nuan said was what mattered.
As for what outsiders said, he wouldn't care. Now, he just wanted to gain An Nuan's forgiveness.
However, he didn't understand why he always said things he shouldn't say in front of An Nuan. He was very troubled by this, but he couldn't resolve it.
In fact, even he himself didn't understand what was going on.
