Ji Wenyun could have stepped forward just now, exposed Xia Wanqing's true face, and dealt with Wang Liang directly.
But he didn't.
An Nuan didn't know what Ji Wenyun was thinking.
However, she didn't want to know, nor did she need to know, what Ji Wenyun was thinking.
Because their thoughts were not something she could control.
And she didn't want to get involved.
Since Ji Wenyun had witnessed it with his own eyes, how he handled the matter was his business, and it had nothing to do with her.
"An Nuan, I didn't expect you to be so vicious. To achieve your goals, you've done such disgusting things."
"Do you think I'll believe your schemes?"
Ji Wenyun's eyes were filled with rage. He was angry not because of Xia Wanqing, but because of An Nuan's words. In fact, even he felt something was off, but couldn't pinpoint it.
An Nuan stood up, wanting to leave.
She had initially thought that Ji Wenyun would misunderstand Xia Wanqing after hearing these words. But now it seemed he didn't. Ji Wenyun still believed Xia Wanqing as always, even thinking she was the one scheming.
Ha, did she have that much ability to scheme against someone?
It was ridiculous to even say it.
Ji Wenyun said coldly, "An Nuan, stop doing these useless things. I will never believe anything you say."
"No matter how you slander Wanqing, I won't believe it. I will always stand by Wanqing."
"Don't make any more of these petty moves. Perhaps, I won't be able to hold back."
Won't be able to hold back.
Isn't what he was doing now already acting against her?
Thinking about it.
It was truly laughable.
However, Ji Wenyun really thought highly of her. If she could plan all this, could scheme all this, then she wouldn't be in such a miserable state now.
What a pity, she wasn't as capable as Ji Wenyun said.
If only she were.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
"Mr. Ji, I told you, whether you believe it or not is your business."
"Also, your appearance was an accident. Did I invite Mr. Ji out? I think Mr. Ji knows better than anyone that it was you who sought me out, not me who sought you out."
"Mr. Ji, with that said, you don't need to say this to me. If you want to say something, you can go tell Xia Wanqing, or you can just keep it to yourself."
"An Nuan." Ji Wenyun almost roared. He never imagined An Nuan would speak so clearly.
"An Nuan, shut up, understand?"
"Mr. Ji, what's wrong? Did my words hit a nerve? Do you want me to shut up and not say anything?"
Ji Wenyun's expression turned extremely grim.
Ha, she really dared to say it, and she hit the nail on the head.
Yes, she had spoken his mind, revealing what he worried about.
But he wouldn't admit it.
Wait, why should he be so angry with a woman like An Nuan?
Such a disgusting woman made him extremely nauseous.
He said grimly and coldly, "An Nuan, tell me, if Nangong Jin knew your true face, what would happen?"
"Now, he is your biggest support, isn't he? If he knew what you've done, would you fall into an endless abyss?"
Listening to Ji Wenyun's words, she suddenly found it a little amusing. These words were so similar to what Shen Xizhou had said.
Her gaze turned cold as she looked at Ji Wenyun.
"If Mr. Ji wishes, he can go."
Ji Wenyun trembled all over, as if he hadn't expected to hear such a response.
He thought An Nuan would beg him not to go to Nangong Jin. But An Nuan's resolute demeanor and the bloodthirsty look in her eyes made him realize that everything was not as he imagined.
He wanted to make a move against An Nuan, but found his hands frozen.
Ji Wenyun clenched his fists tightly, and his fist landed on the wall near her ear.
"An Nuan."
He shouted loudly, his gaze fixed entirely on her, his face filled with grimness.
His voice carried a strong killing intent, and he said coldly, "An Nuan, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Or, what do you want to achieve?"
An Nuan looked at the person in front of her with confusion. She didn't understand what was wrong with Ji Wenyun.
It seemed they were on completely different wavelengths.
Suddenly, he blurted out, "An Nuan, don't forget what you did to Xia Wanqing to get close to me back then."
"And today's events are definitely your plan and your scheme."
An Nuan did not answer Ji Wenyun's words, but stared intently at the person in front of her, not looking away.
It was as if she wanted to see through him.
An Nuan wanted to leave but couldn't.
She looked at Ji Wenyun, and after a long while, she said, "Mr. Ji, you already know what you need to know."
"Fine, you say I'm lying, then I'll admit I'm lying." An Nuan said calmly, "I've admitted it, so what do you, Mr. Ji, want to do with me?"
"Mr. Ji, back then, I mistook you for someone else. I thought you were someone I knew before."
"Later, I realized that Mr. Ji just looked similar. That's all."
"If that incident caused any trouble for Mr. Ji, then I apologize now."
"However, I will not admit to any other charges, because I did not commit them." An Nuan said calmly and coldly.
Ji Wenyun looked at the woman in front of him, staring directly at him with a fierce look in her eyes filled with hatred towards him. His heart suddenly became flustered.
It felt like something was slowly drifting away from him.
As if it could never return.
Yes, he suddenly felt some regret.
Regret for what he had done, regret for what he had said.
An Nuan had stayed earlier because she was worried about running into Xia Wanqing outside. However, now she didn't want to endure it anymore.
She felt that even if Xia Wanqing found out after she left, it would be of no loss to her.
The person she needed to face was Ji Wenyun.
How to explain and break the awkwardness was Ji Wenyun's problem.
Ji Wenyun didn't expect An Nuan to leave just like that. However, since An Nuan left and Xia Wanqing was not there, it did not cause any unnecessary misunderstandings.
And just as An Nuan was about to leave, Ji Wenyun looked at her and said calmly, "An Nuan, some things, I did not do willingly."
"I am truly sorry for the harm I have caused you. If you can give me a chance to compensate you, I will do my best to compensate you." Ji Wenyun said calmly, but the hand by his side betrayed him.
