Nangong Jin blamed himself for his momentary negligence. Why hadn't he focused his attention on An Nuan just now?
Why had he wasted so many useless words with Shen Xizhou?
Shen Xizhou's matters could be dealt with after An Nuan was settled.
Nangong Jin turned to leave, but as he did, he glanced at Xu Ruowei, who was hiding by the hospital bed, and let out a cold snort.
Although Nangong Jin said nothing, Xu Ruowei was terrified. She felt as if Nangong Jin could kill her with just a look.
Watching Nangong Jin carry An Nuan away from her, she clenched her hands by her side, her eyes filled with jealousy and unwillingness.
Why, why?
Why did Nangong Jin have to appear? If he hadn't, she believed An Nuan wouldn't have survived today.
An Nuan's life was truly too fortunate.
But no matter how unwilling she was, she could do nothing. She knew very well that she was no match for Nangong Jin.
Her gaze fell on Shen Xizhou, who was nearby. As she pretended to go help him up, Shen Xizhou struggled to rise. Enduring the pain, he reassured Xu Ruowei, "Ruowei, don't worry, I'm fine."
"We'll let An Nuan go for today. One day, I will avenge you," Shen Xizhou vowed with conviction.
Ha, one day, revenge.
After today's events, Nangong Jin would likely be on guard. It would be difficult to deal with An Nuan in the future.
She looked at Shen Xizhou with a hint of disdain, but dared not show too much.
At this moment, she looked at Shen Xizhou with concern, throwing herself into his arms, and said with a sobbing voice, "Xizhou, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been targeted by Nangong Jin, and you wouldn't have been hurt."
As Xu Ruowei spoke, she sobbed and looked at Shen Xizhou with guilt. She pushed Shen Xizhou hard, blaming herself, "Xizhou, you shouldn't bother with my affairs anymore. That way, Nangong Jin won't trouble you."
"From Nangong Jin's demeanor just now, he would definitely have acted against me for An Nuan."
"This all started because of me. You should leave me."
"That way, Nangong Jin won't target the Shen Group." Xu Ruowei said understandingly.
Xu Ruowei was right; Shen Xizhou had considered it. However, when these words were spoken, displeasure flickered in Shen Xizhou's eyes. He wondered if he was being underestimated, something he absolutely wouldn't allow.
He looked at Xu Ruowei and said firmly, "Ruowei, these are not things you should worry about. What you need to do now is rest well, understand? I'll handle everything else."
When Xu Ruowei wanted to say something, she met Shen Xizhou's doting gaze and immediately stopped speaking.
She knew well that she had said enough and didn't need to say more. Some things were better left unsaid; saying too much always became annoying.
Nangong Jin, worried about An Nuan, didn't hesitate and immediately left with her.
"Nuannuan, don't talk anymore. Your injury is quite serious. I'll take you to the hospital immediately," Nangong Jin said, his voice full of concern as his footsteps quickened.
"Nangong Jin, don't worry, I'm fine," An Nuan said with difficulty. Recalling her disheveled appearance, it was hard to believe she was fine.
Her brow furrowed, but she still spoke with effort, "I'm really fine, it just looks more serious than it is."
Nangong Jin looked at An Nuan, who kept comforting him, and for a moment, he couldn't find any words to express his feelings.
He could only softly hummed in response and said nothing more.
He was in a meeting, busy with company matters, and only realized when he had finished everything that An Nuan hadn't arrived at the company yet. He became thoroughly anxious.
When he learned that An Nuan had been taken away by Shen Xizhou, he regretted it deeply.
He came to find An Nuan without considering anything else.
After Nangong Jin settled An Nuan, he asked with a hint of worry in his voice, "An Nuan, where else are you injured? Tell me."
Seeing Nangong Jin so anxious because of her, a smile flickered in An Nuan's eyes. At this moment, she felt a sense of relief, knowing that someone in this world still cared about her.
But at this moment, An Nuan's brow furrowed tightly. She had been enduring it all along, but now she found she couldn't bear it any longer.
The pain was so severe she couldn't breathe. Her hands clutched Nangong Jin's hand tightly. Nangong Jin's comfort eased her pain considerably.
"Nangong Jin, don't worry, I'm really fine," An Nuan said with great effort.
Nangong Jin looked at An Nuan, gently tidied her messy hair, and said with heartbreak, "Okay, I understand. Don't talk anymore. Wait for the doctor, alright?"
"What you need most now is good rest."
Nangong Jin felt that having only kicked Shen Xizhou just now was far too lenient.
Someone like that deserved a thousand cuts, and it wouldn't be enough.
Nangong Jin's eyes were filled with a scarlet murderous intent as he angrily said, "An Nuan, how could he do this to you? How dare he?"
An Nuan remained silent, her eyes glistening with tears, her pupils red. Her body trembled.
How dare he?
But why wouldn't he dare? For Xu Ruowei, he would do anything.
Seeing Nangong Jin's self-reproach and guilt.
An Nuan felt a pang of guilt.
This matter had nothing to do with him.
Perhaps, without her, Nangong Jin wouldn't have gotten involved.
Because of her appearance, Nangong Jin's situation had become difficult. She blamed herself, feeling perhaps she wasn't suited to live, only dragging others down.
Looking at Nangong Jin's worried expression, An Nuan thought, how could she be worthy of Nangong Jin caring for her so much, protecting her so fiercely?
Perhaps, she could never repay everything Nangong Jin had done for her in her entire life.
She thought that if she hadn't agreed to be Nangong Jin's girlfriend, he wouldn't have gotten involved.
But seeing Nangong Jin's anxious look, she hesitated.
If she were to tell Nangong Jin at this moment to stop caring about her.
One could imagine how furious Nangong Jin would be.
An Nuan looked at Nangong Jin, took a deep breath, and seemed to make a momentous decision. She couldn't be so selfish as to drag Nangong Jin down with her.
His life shouldn't be so miserable.
An Nuan's gaze fell on Nangong Jin. She watched him using a towel to wipe the blood from her face. She wanted to speak, but Nangong Jin didn't give her a chance; he continued to wipe diligently.
An Nuan directly grabbed Nangong Jin's hand and looked him directly in the eye.
