Xu Ruowei regretted it. She regretted what she had said, and even more, she regretted trusting Shen Xizhou so much, believing he would always be on her side.
"I..." Xu Ruowei's face had long since lost its color, but she still wanted to salvage some dignity. With a heart full of bitterness, she said, "Xizhou, if even you don't believe me, what's the point of me living?"
After speaking, Xu Ruowei ran out.
Everyone around was stunned by this scene.
Shen Xizhou also ran out immediately.
An Nuan watched the unfolding events with a sense of amusement.
...
"An Nuan, do you truly want to be with Nangong Jin?" Shen Xizhou asked with a dark expression. "However, An Nuan, I will not let you have your way."
"I told you, you will be by my side for the rest of your life. You are not worthy of happiness in this lifetime."
Xu Ruowei sat to the side, her hands clenched tightly.
"An Nuan, I forbid you from being with Nangong Jin. Keep your distance from him immediately."
"An Nuan, my relationship with Xu Ruowei is not what the outside world claims. Those are all rumors spread by others."
"Of course, Xu Ruowei has sacrificed too much for me. Therefore, I will not wrong Xu Ruowei."
"The position of Mrs. Shen will be Xu Ruowei's. But An Nuan, I can guarantee that my heart belongs only to you."
"An Nuan, as long as you behave, you can stay by my side."
Xu Ruowei, sitting nearby, widened her eyes, disbelief filling her gaze.
She even doubted if she had misheard. How could she hear such words?
How could Shen Xizhou say such things to An Nuan in front of her? Was this truly fair to her?
Had he considered how she would feel hearing this?
Xu Ruowei's hands clenched tightly, and she suppressed the hatred in her eyes. Shen Xizhou, you want to cast me aside now, don't you?
But, you wish.
You will never get rid of me in this lifetime.
The position of Mrs. Shen is mine, and An Nuan will never be by your side.
"Mr. Shen, do you not have a mirror at home? If not, I can pay for one."
"Mr. Shen, perhaps you should look in the mirror and see how unreasonable these words you are saying are."
An Nuan's lips curved into a mocking smile. It truly took effort for Shen Xizhou to be able to say such things.
However, she glanced at Xu Ruowei, who was sitting nearby. She cared so much about Shen Xizhou, yet hearing these words, she hadn't stepped forward to say anything. Had she changed?
Shen Xizhou had treated her this way. Did he think that his words and actions could just be overlooked?
Her eyes were filled with disdain.
She found these two people incredibly ridiculous.
An Nuan's lips curled into a cold smile and she said, "Mr. Shen, please do not appear before me again in the future, can you?"
"Mr. Shen, people should have some dignity."
"Mr. Shen, are you not planning to be a decent person anymore?"
"Mr. Shen, you don't actually think you can have whatever you want in this world, do you?"
"Mr. Shen, I already have my own life. Please, do not disturb me anymore, alright?"
"I have Nangong Jin by my side now. I don't want him to misunderstand."
"Don't want him to misunderstand?"
Shen Xizhou turned, his gaze falling on An Nuan, and he scoffed, "An Nuan, you want to be with Nangong Jin, right?"
"But after what you've done, do you think you deserve happiness? I told you, I will not let you off."
Xu Ruowei was initially overjoyed, thinking that Shen Xizhou was chasing after her. But when she looked back, she saw that he hadn't followed.
Unwillingly, she turned back.
However, she did not approach, but watched from a distance.
Xu Ruowei glared at An Nuan with increasing ferocity. Did she deserve it? No, she absolutely did not.
"Heh, is that so? Do you think you can do anything to me now?"
An Nuan said coldly, a smile playing on her lips, her face filled with contempt.
"Mr. Shen, you keep saying 'what I've done'?"
"But what exactly were those things, what happened, you know better than anyone."
"How can you say such things?"
"Mr. Shen, I am not the same person I used to be. I am no longer someone you can trifle with."
"Because, Mr. Shen, I will no longer back down."
Back then, she hadn't been firm in her heart.
It was because her heart still held Shen Xizhou. But now, her heart had completely removed him.
She now had Nangong Jin by her side, and Nangong Jin was the one worth spending her life with.
The Shen Xizhou she used to love was gone.
He was buried deep in her heart.
"Shen Xizhou, I kept backing down because I had feelings for you. I even foolishly hoped that you would change your mind someday."
"But now, my heart belongs to Nangong Jin. There is no place for you."
Yes, she had given up.
"An Nuan, you wouldn't even believe what you're saying. Do you think I would believe you?"
Shen Xizhou's eyes were bloodshot, and he glared fiercely at An Nuan.
He couldn't fathom how An Nuan dared to say such things to him.
Shen Xizhou's gaze was terrifying.
He stared intensely at An Nuan, unable to comprehend why she treated him this way.
Shen Xizhou had never felt so dejected.
At this moment, Shen Xizhou's heart was filled with reluctance regarding An Nuan.
He kept thinking.
Looking at An Nuan, with Nangong Jin standing beside her, he admitted he was jealous.
But his face was filled with a sense of grievance.
"Mr. Shen, I never liked you."
"I have no feelings for you."
"An Nuan."
Shen Xizhou wanted to step forward, but now? Nangong Jin was by her side, and even if he wanted to do something to An Nuan, he couldn't.
Nangong Jin looked at Shen Xizhou and said coldly, "Shen Xizhou, since An Nuan has made her intentions clear, what about you?"
"Don't you understand?"
"Are you still going to pester An Nuan?"
Shen Xizhou ignored Nangong Jin and looked at An Nuan, coldly questioning, "An Nuan, you are truly choosing to be with Nangong Jin?"
"Yes, Shen Xizhou, I have made myself very clear. I thought you should have understood."
"Shen Xizhou, please leave. Otherwise, I will take action."
Just then, Shen Xizhou's phone rang. He glanced at it and finally left.
