Li Tian did not want An Nuan to blame herself, as this matter had nothing to do with her from beginning to end.
Yet, seeing An Nuan's worried and guilty expression, she managed a faint smile, "An Nuan, don't blame yourself, and you don't need to feel guilty. This has nothing to do with you. The most important thing is that I'm alright and unharmed."
Hearing Li Tian's comforting words and seeing her trying to put on a brave face, An Nuan's suppressed tears finally broke free, and she started crying.
She herself was injured, and at this moment, to prevent her from blaming herself or feeling guilty, Li Tian acted as if nothing had happened and offered comforting words.
However, the more Li Tian said, the more An Nuan blamed herself.
The more guilty she felt.
When Wang Liang saw Shen Xizhou, his face turned pale, and his whole body trembled. Without a second thought, he turned to flee.
He thought that as long as Shen Xizhou didn't catch him, he could escape quickly.
But the moment he prepared to move, Shen Xizhou kicked him flying.
Wang Liang scrambled on the ground in panic.
Just then, Shen Xizhou walked up to Wang Liang, stepped directly on his hand, and pressed down hard. The back of his hand instantly became a bloody mess.
Wang Liang tried to pull his hand away but found he couldn't, no matter how hard he tried.
He cried out in pain, "Young Master Shen, Young Master Shen, please, be merciful and let me go!"
"This is all a misunderstanding. Things are not as you see them."
At this moment, An Nuan's gaze fell upon Wang Liang.
Upon seeing Wang Liang, An Nuan instantly understood everything. Wang Liang was Xu Ruowei's person, her capable assistant.
So, this was all arranged by Xu Ruowei.
Xu Ruowei truly would do anything to deal with her.
The moment she thought that this was all due to Xu Ruowei, An Nuan didn't hesitate. She walked directly to Wang Liang and forcefully kicked him in the stomach. As if that wasn't enough, she continued to press her foot down on his face.
"Wang Liang, you are truly a loyal dog. You'll do anything for Xu Ruowei."
"An Nuan," Wang Liang shouted loudly upon hearing her mention Xu Ruowei, "What are you talking about? I don't know any Xu Ruowei."
"It was you. I know it was you."
"You told me to come here, and you told me to make a move on Li Tian."
An Nuan listened quietly to Wang Liang's words. She looked at him, wondering what other ridiculous things he could come up with.
"Is that so? So, it was me who told you to make a move."
An Nuan laughed heartily and said to Wang Liang with a chilling tone, "Since you're so obedient and do whatever I tell you, then go and kill Xu Ruowei."
"I've got a task for you now, go do it immediately."
Seeing Wang Liang's silence, An Nuan said disdainfully, "What's wrong? Scared now?"
"Wang Liang, for what you did to Li Tian, I will repay you a hundredfold, a thousandfold."
After speaking, An Nuan didn't care about anything else and started to act again.
She couldn't bear it any longer and had to act.
"Nuannuan," Seeing An Nuan's extreme agitation and her loss of control, Shen Xizhou quickly held her and whispered comforting words in her ear.
"Nuannuan, it's not good to hurt yourself for someone like this."
"Let Yan Bai handle this kind of person."
Yan Bai, who was standing nearby, was suddenly called out. Hearing Shen Xizhou's words, he genuinely felt like a pure fool.
However, since he was instructed to act here, he naturally would. After all, he was being paid.
Seeing An Nuan's anger over Li Tian's situation, he felt incredibly pained.
Shen Xizhou held An Nuan tightly, preventing her from acting.
If she were to get hurt while acting, he would be heartbroken.
It wasn't worth getting angry and hurting herself over someone like Wang Liang.
"An Nuan, don't be angry. It's really not worth it to get sick over someone like this."
"I will handle this matter."
"Trust me one more time, leave it to me. I will handle it perfectly and make you very satisfied."
An Nuan paused, looking at Shen Xizhou with suspicion.
She wondered if she should believe what Shen Xizhou said, or if his words were worth believing.
She had been hurt by Shen Xizhou too many times; should she believe him now?
Meeting An Nuan's doubtful gaze, Shen Xizhou was initially surprised, but then he recalled all his past actions and felt a sense of release.
He stared intently into An Nuan's eyes and said firmly, "An Nuan, give me one more chance. I won't let you down again."
Hearing his words and meeting his deep, affectionate gaze, An Nuan was instantly moved.
Perhaps she should give him another chance.
Seeing An Nuan's softening expression, Shen Xizhou was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it too much, fearing that his overt happiness might make An Nuan feel repulsed.
Yan Bai dealt with Wang Liang thoroughly, and also got all the information he needed.
Seeing Li Tian's injured state, Yan Bai took off his suit jacket and draped it over her. He said somewhat awkwardly, "Li Tian, don't worry, that person can't hurt you anymore."
Li Tian looked up at Yan Bai.
Yan Bai's mind went blank under Li Tian's gaze. After a long pause, he stammered, "With me here, I will protect you. You won't be hurt again."
After saying these words, not only Li Tian, who stared at him with wide eyes and disbelief, but even Yan Bai himself was stunned.
He couldn't understand what was happening to him. Why would he say such things?
He suddenly felt like he had a serious problem.
Shen Xizhou knew how much An Nuan cared about Li Tian. At this moment, he noticed that all of An Nuan's energy and attention were focused on Li Tian, and he felt a pang of jealousy.
Shen Xizhou's face darkened as he looked at Yan Bai and said coldly, "Yan Bai, Li Tian is not someone you can mess with. Behave yourself." His tone was filled with a strong warning.
"No, when did I mess around? Am I that kind of person?" Yan Bai retorted directly.
Just as Shen Xizhou was about to say something more, his hand was gently pulled.
When he saw that An Nuan was tightly holding his hand, Shen Xizhou grinned foolishly.
Yan Bai looked at Li Tian, thinking about something unknown, and unsure of what he wanted to say next. After a long pause, he suddenly said sternly, "Li Tian, don't believe what that person says. I'm not the type to mess around. My first love is still here."
"Let me tell you, pure people like me are rare nowadays."
"You won't find one in hundreds. Yan Bai said to Li Tian with all seriousness.
Li Tian was stunned, looking at Yan Bai in confusion. She didn't understand why Yan Bai was telling her this.
Yan Bai didn't think much about why he would say such things to Li Tian.
He just said what was on his mind.
