"Mr. Shen, since you know what you need to know, perhaps you can leave now."
"Also, Mr. Shen, please refrain from appearing here at random. I'm worried my fiancé might get angry if he sees you."
"After all, my heart is solely with my fiancé right now. Your presence would cause me considerable distress."
"Mr. Shen, please leave," An Nuan said coldly.
"Heh, are you in a hurry now?" Shen Xizhou chuckled. "Are you worried that Nangong Jin will misunderstand you, and your backing will disappear, right?"
He looked at An Nuan mockingly.
"But I want to be here. I want Nangong Jin to misunderstand you."
"Now that you know what I want to do, what do you intend to do? How do you plan to proceed?"
An Nuan's hands, held by her sides, clenched tightly. She felt an urge to destroy the person before her.
She couldn't understand how such a shameless person could exist.
Why couldn't he just leave her world? Why did he have to appear before her eyes?
Her gaze fell on her phone, and she said coldly, "If Mr. Shen doesn't leave, I'm afraid I'll have to make a call and have someone handle this."
"I believe Mr. Shen values his reputation and wouldn't want to become a public spectacle."
"If Mr. Shen insists on having his way, then tomorrow's headlines might feature Mr. Shen."
An Nuan's chin was suddenly gripped.
Shen Xizhou looked at her coldly, his eyes filled with malice.
"An Nuan, are you threatening me?"
Shen Xizhou smiled sinisterly, his eyes brimming with a bloodthirsty gleam. He said, coldly and ruthlessly, "For Nangong Jin, you're truly willing to do anything."
"I remember when you were with Ye Qingcheng, you weren't like this."
"An Nuan, I, Shen Xizhou, am not someone you can easily scheme against. By the way, I'm a man of my word. Do you think I would fail if I decided to act?"
His words cornered An Nuan.
An Nuan frowned, her expression growing extremely unpleasant.
This was a threat, and she could only be threatened.
She couldn't say a word.
Shen Xizhou said, "An Nuan, you'd best behave yourself. Do as I say."
An Nuan glared fiercely at the person before her. She even wondered why she had ever been with such a man in the past, and why she had endured so much suffering for him.
An Nuan felt it wasn't worth it.
Her chin was hurting from his grip.
But she refused to show her pain.
Especially not in front of Shen Xizhou.
A faint smile touched An Nuan's lips, and thinking of the current Shen Xizhou, she suddenly found it a little amusing.
The old Shen Xizhou wanted her gone as far as possible, but the current him was different.
An Nuan's sarcasm angered Shen Xizhou. He looked at her coldly and indifferently, "An Nuan, don't get too pleased with yourself. With me around, your life won't be smooth sailing."
"By the way, what do you think Nangong Jin will do if he comes here and finds me here? Will he want to kill you?"
"An Nuan, if I were to make a move on you right now, no one would come to your rescue even if you screamed your lungs out."
An Nuan watched Shen Xizhou warily. She believed he was a man of his word, a madman.
She was even more convinced that he would do anything.
"Mr. Shen, what must I do for you to let me go?" An Nuan asked seriously, word by word.
Shen Xizhou hesitated. What must she do for him to let her go?
But he didn't want to let her go now. He only wanted to cling to her, to make her his.
She was supposed to be his.
"Shen Xizhou, please stay away from me, can you?"
"Let me go, alright?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xizhou's expression became even uglier. He stared intently at An Nuan, as if trying to bore a hole through her. He said coldly and loudly, "An Nuan, don't even think about it. I will be with you for all eternity."
"This life, you cannot escape my grasp."
Facing Shen Xizhou's threat, An Nuan was unafraid. Instead, she let out a cold scoff.
An Nuan's reaction made Shen Xizhou's expression extremely displeased.
And her wary gaze further fueled Shen Xizhou's rage.
Shen Xizhou reached out, intending to grab her hand and say something, but An Nuan dodged him directly.
"Mr. Shen, since you say you've investigated everything clearly, you should also know that many things were done by your fiancée."
"Everything has nothing to do with me."
"Then, Mr. Shen, what reason do you have to trouble me?"
"Mr. Shen, since everything is clear, can you please stop appearing before my eyes?"
Shen Xizhou's brow furrowed.
An Nuan's words were not wrong, but he simply didn't want to hear them.
Facing Shen Xizhou's gaze, An Nuan remained silent.
She simply looked directly at Shen Xizhou, not averting her eyes.
Shen Xizhou finally said softly, "An Nuan, are you saying these things intentionally? You want revenge now for how I tormented you back then?"
"An Nuan, your silence, does it mean I'm right?"
"Heh, right?" An Nuan scoffed. "Whatever Mr. Shen thinks, that's how it is."
"After all, I can't change what you think."
"An Nuan, you're just saying things out of anger," Shen Xizhou stared at An Nuan for a long time before speaking. "An Nuan, if saying this makes you feel better, then say it."
At this moment, An Nuan noticed a glint of tears in Shen Xizhou's eyes.
Was she mistaken?
She must have been mistaken. How could someone like Shen Xizhou be sad? How could there be tears in his eyes?
An Nuan immediately calmed down. This was undoubtedly another act by Shen Xizhou.
"Mr. Shen, I understand what you mean. Since you've said what you needed to say, can you disappear from my sight?"
Shen Xizhou's face turned grim.
From beginning to end, the most An Nuan had said to him was whether he could leave her sight.
However, Shen Xizhou had no intention of leaving. He remained seated on the sofa, as if waiting for Nangong Jin's arrival.
He thought that An Nuan, growing impatient, might speak to him.
But he sat there, yet heard no words from An Nuan.
He began to feel restless.
An Nuan, on the other hand, said nothing and continued with her own tasks.
After all, she still had many things to handle.
Now was a good time to get them done.
