She Lan Club.
Because of Shen Xizhou, she had to go to work now.
She was invited to perform in a private room.
She knew it was Shen Xizhou's doing, but even knowing it was Shen Xizhou's doing, she could only obey obediently.
When An Nuan arrived, she found both Shen Xizhou and Ji Wenyun there.
"Wenyun." Xia Wanqing looked at Ji Wenyun, a little worried in her heart.
Ji Wenyun had truly changed recently.
Especially after what happened before, Ji Wenyun had truly changed, becoming completely unrecognizable.
She was even more worried that if this continued, the man before her would become someone she no longer recognized. What should she do then?
And when she noticed Ji Wenyun's gaze was entirely on An Nuan, she felt that it was all An Nuan's fault. If it weren't for An Nuan, none of this would have happened.
Now she regretted it. At the time, she had thought An Nuan was so innocent, and she had foolishly wanted to explain something to An Nuan.
Xia Wanqing's near-tearful expression caused Ji Wenyun immense heartache.
Only then did Ji Wenyun realize that he had been staring at An Nuan, lost in thought. More importantly, he felt that An Nuan was so innocent. At that moment, he desperately wanted to hold An Nuan in his arms and protect her.
"Wenyun, do you feel An Nuan is very pitiful? Do you feel An Nuan needs your help more?"
"Have you believed some of what An Nuan has been saying lately?"
Xia Wanqing tugged at her hair, her face full of innocence, but more so, helplessness and urgency, saying, "I know, the way I am now is frightening."
"Perhaps, you feel I am heartless when I say these things."
"But, Wenyun, I care about you too much, that's why I'm like this."
Ji Wenyun held Xia Wanqing in his arms and said with utmost seriousness, "Wanqing, you mustn't say things like that again. I won't allow such words to come from your mouth."
"It's all my fault. I haven't given you enough security, which is why you are like this."
Shen Xizhou looked at An Nuan, his eyes filled with rage.
"An Nuan, do you enjoy ruining things so much? You ruined things between me and Ruo Wei before, and now you want to ruin Ji Wenyun and Xia Wanqing?"
"An Nuan, you are truly disgusting."
"Doesn't your heart ache when you do such disgusting things?"
"An Nuan, you came here precisely for this, didn't you?"
An Nuan did not reply to Shen Xizhou's nonsensical accusations.
There had been too many such words, too much self-blame. He didn't want to say anything more.
Moreover, more importantly, when he spoke these words, did he not consider anything?
Why was she here? Was it because she liked to be here? Did she love being here?
"Ruin? Disgusting?" An Nuan looked at Shen Xizhou and said coldly, "Mr. Shen seems to have forgotten that you are the one who told me to come here."
"Heh, you came just because I told you to?" Shen Xizhou said ferociously, "An Nuan, since when have you become so obedient?"
"If you were truly obedient, then what happened back then wouldn't have happened."
Ji Wenyun's brows furrowed, his expression extremely grim. He said coldly, "Shen Xizhou, what you're saying is too hurtful."
"An Nuan's presence here is entirely because of you. You should know that better than anyone."
"Saying such things is extremely irresponsible."
"Although I despise An Nuan, I wouldn't say something like this."
"Speak and act truthfully, don't just speak carelessly."
"Ji Wenyun, since when do you have a right to speak here?"
Ji Wenyun looked at Shen Xizhou, his brows furrowed. Regarding Shen Xizhou, he could only say so much. As for anything else, he really couldn't say much more.
Meanwhile, Shen Xizhou's expression was extremely ugly. Even if he wanted to say something, he couldn't do anything.
"An Nuan, since you're so obedient, then go to the center of the stage and dance. Let everyone watch you. Since you love to 'show off' so much," Shen Xizhou said icily, his eyes filled with ferocity.
His eyes were filled with mockery.
Heh, even now, someone would stand up to speak for her. An Nuan was truly formidable. He had underestimated her a little.
But the thought of Ji Wenyun speaking for her made him so angry he wanted to kill.
Ji Wenyun looked at Shen Xizhou, his brows tightly furrowed, and said displeasedly, "Shen Xizhou, you are making things difficult for her."
"Shen Xizhou, I don't know about the matters between you and An Nuan. But now that you have Xu Ruo Wei, you are already doing very well."
"An Nuan has also paid a bloody price."
"She is Mrs. Ye now," Ji Wenyun said calmly. "Are you going to make Mrs. Ye a laughingstock? Then, how do you plan to explain things to the Ye family?"
"The Ye family? Am I afraid of them?" Shen Xizhou said coldly.
Ji Wenyun looked at Shen Xizhou's stubbornness and finally stopped speaking.
He had done everything he could, said everything he could. As for what happened next, he was truly powerless.
At this moment, Xu Ruo Wei appeared. She walked directly to Shen Xizhou's side, hooking her arm through his, as if declaring her ownership.
"Xizhou, don't make things difficult for An Nuan anymore."
"I think what Ji Wenyun said is not wrong. An Nuan is Mrs. Ye, and she is not someone to be offended lightly."
"Besides, An Nuan is already working at She Lan Club. Someone like that is already extremely tainted. It's best not to get involved with such a person anymore."
"Xu Ruo Wei, I didn't mean it like that," Ji Wenyun said with a frown.
Xu Ruo Wei smiled, appearing very satisfied.
She looked at Ji Wenyun and said with a smile, "Young Master Ji, speaking up for An Nuan like this..."
"Could it be that you have some unspeakable secret with An Nuan?"
Xu Ruo Wei looked at Xia Wanqing, her expression becoming extremely grim, but inwardly she was becoming even happier.
This was good. This way, Xia Wanqing would resent An Nuan. It was a good thing for her.
Ji Wenyun's face darkened. He looked at Xu Ruo Wei and said coldly, "Heh, Xu Ruo Wei, stop spewing those sarcastic remarks. Wanqing won't believe your nonsense."
Xu Ruo Wei curled her lips into a cold smile. Heh, Xia Wanqing wouldn't believe it? If these words were spoken, perhaps even he himself wouldn't believe them.
Seeing that Xia Wanqing remained silent, Xu Ruo Wei became even happier.
The words she spoke had, in the end, struck a chord with her.
