Nangong Xuan was thinking that it wasn't appropriate in public. Her brother was shameless, but An Nuan cared about her reputation. If An Nuan was scared, would her brother become single again?
Nangong Xuan wanted to go over, but then she thought it was fine; those people would definitely not dare to say anything.
Nangong Jin was reluctant to let An Nuan go.
In fact, he was reluctant at heart, even wishing time would stop at this moment. However, he could clearly see An Nuan's discomfort. He thought that if it continued, An Nuan might get angry. An Nuan's anger could have dire consequences. After thinking about it, he finally let go.
No matter how reluctant he was, he didn't want An Nuan to be angry or upset.
He always felt he hadn't done enough for An Nuan. He wanted to hold An Nuan tightly in his arms, to protect her.
An Nuan looked at the man whose eyes were full of her, and a glimmer of light rose in her heart.
...
Just as An Nuan planned to rest, Shen Xizhou came to her door again.
An Nuan didn't want to deal with the person in front of her. She even regretted that if she had known it was Shen Xizhou when she opened the door earlier, she would have definitely not opened it.
But it seemed too late to regret it now.
Because Shen Xizhou leaned his entire body against the doorframe, and no matter how hard she tried, the door could no longer be closed.
She just looked at the person in front of her.
She felt she had made herself very clear to Shen Xizhou, and there was nothing left to say.
But Shen Xizhou kept coming to trouble her, and even though she wanted to avoid him, she had no way to do so.
"An Nuan, why did you attack Ruowei? What did you do to Ruowei? Ruowei has already let go, apologized to you, and isn't bothering you anymore, so why can't you just let her go?"
An Nuan looked at the person in front of her with eyes full of confusion and incomprehension. She was too lazy to even look at him, and didn't even want to speak.
Shen Xizhou just looked at An Nuan.
Back then, he didn't ask anything and blamed An Nuan for everything. But now he was worried he had misunderstood An Nuan, so he waited for An Nuan here, wanting to ask her clearly, wanting to hear her explain herself, wanting to hear her say, "No, Xizhou, I didn't do these things."
However, An Nuan said nothing, just looked at him coldly.
He felt a sense of indifference in his heart.
Shen Xizhou had asked Yan Bai to investigate. The incident happened too suddenly, and it was impossible to investigate anything in a short time.
But An Nuan remained silent, just looking at him. He felt that what An Nuan was about to say would embarrass him.
"Mr. Shen, you see the person yourself. You didn't protect her properly, and when something went wrong, you came to me. Isn't that a bit unfair to me?"
"Mr. Shen, you really have genuine feelings for Xu Ruowei and are protecting her."
"Mr. Shen, when something happens to Xu Ruowei, can you please figure out all the facts before coming to me?"
"Do you think I can be manipulated by you as you please?"
The thought that even if Shen Xizhou knew the truth, he would still believe Xu Ruowei and bother her whenever something happened, made her extremely angry.
Thinking of what had happened to her over the years, that all the pain was given to her by the man in front of her. And the fact that Li Tian almost lost her life because of her again, her heart ached immensely.
She felt sorry for herself and for those around her.
In the dead of night, she kept thinking, had she fallen in love with a devil back then?
All her pain was brought by him. He had pushed her into an endless abyss.
She was in extreme pain.
But now? Everything was going in a better direction. She had even let go of everything, even didn't want to bother with the person in front of her anymore. She even thought, let the past be the past.
She just wanted to cherish what she had now.
However, her retreat yielded no good results.
Instead, these people became even more vicious.
"Shen Xizhou, before you come to me, you should ask what exactly Xu Ruowei did."
"An Nuan, you still want to shift all the blame onto Ruowei at this point?"
"Shift blame?"
An Nuan smiled, her smile so inscrutable it was hard to fathom. "Mr. Shen, shift blame for what? From beginning to end, I haven't done anything, and you came to question me directly. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
Shen Xizhou looked at An Nuan. She could still smile at this moment. Shen Xizhou, who had initially chosen to believe An Nuan, began to change his mind. His heart was no longer as firm.
"I don't know what happened to Xu Ruowei, but whatever accident she had, it has nothing to do with me."
"Please, get out of my sight."
"Heh, who knows what she wants to do again, what scheme she wants to devise to frame me, to slander me."
"She's always like this."
"An Nuan, shut up." Shen Xizhou looked at the person in front of him with burning rage, wanting to step forward and destroy her.
"An Nuan, even if Xu Ruowei is vicious, she wouldn't kill her own unborn child. That's her child."
Xu Ruowei's unborn child was killed?
"Xu Ruowei's unborn child is gone?" An Nuan asked in confusion.
Hearing what Shen Xizhou said, An Nuan even felt that Xu Ruowei was truly insane. To frame her, to harm her, to keep Shen Xizhou, she was truly capable of doing anything.
An Nuan smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, what does Xu Ruowei's unborn child being gone have to do with me?"
"Mr. Shen, I've been with Nangong Jin these past few days, staying at the Nangong family. I haven't left once. How do you think I could have attacked her?"
"An Nuan, such things only require people to act."
"Nowadays, there are some things that really don't require you to do them yourself."
"Shen Xizhou, no matter what you say, I just want to say that this matter has nothing to do with me. If you continue to pester me, then I will have the relevant parties handle this matter. I believe that would be the fairest way."
"An Nuan, shut your mouth."
"How can these people be allowed to handle this matter?"
"However, An Nuan, since you can calmly say to let those people handle it, then you must have made complete preparations."
"Do you think I would believe what you say now?"
An Nuan just looked at Shen Xizhou. Ha, do you think I would believe what you say?
Sometimes, she wondered what Xu Ruowei had done to Shen Xizhou to make him protect her so much, and even trust her so much.
For her, he was willing to do anything.
