"An Nuan, can you answer me?"
Shen Xizhou stared at An Nuan, unwilling to even shift his gaze.
His eyes fell on the hand around An Nuan's waist, and he was consumed by jealousy. Seeing the closeness between Nangong Jin and An Nuan drove Shen Xizhou to a mad envy.
"Shen Xizhou, let go of your hand. An Nuan is mine," Shen Xizhou said, his teeth practically grinding.
"Heh, is that so?" An Nuan's eyes blazed with anger. She looked at Shen Xizhou coldly. If she could slap him across the face without any restraint, she would have done so in a heartbeat.
However, she found herself unable to act on it.
"Shen Xizhou, this is my business, and it has nothing to do with you."
"Mr. Shen, please control your dog and don't keep appearing before me or causing me trouble."
"Do you know why I'm here?"
"It was Xu Ruowei who threatened me. She kidnapped Li Tian and ordered me to come here, wanting to kill me."
As An Nuan spoke of Li Tian, she finally managed to gather her thoughts about her.
Her gaze fell upon Li Tian, and seeing her protected in Huo Yuxuan's arms, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Li Tian was unharmed. Otherwise, she would never forgive herself.
"Mr. Shen, control your mad dog, understand?"
Hearing this, Xu Ruowei glared at An Nuan. She could no longer stand still.
How dare An Nuan call her a mad dog? What right did she have to say such things?
Without a second thought, Xu Ruowei rushed forward and said through gritted teeth, "An Nuan, how could you say such things to me?"
"And what you just said was all slander against me."
"I never did those things."
"You were the one who told me to come here. Li Tian came with you. And Li Tian was kidnapped because of your scheme."
"So why is all the blame being placed on me now?"
*Slap.* An Nuan walked directly to Xu Ruowei and slapped her across the face again.
Xu Ruowei clutched her face, not expecting An Nuan to strike her even in front of Shen Xizhou.
"Xizhou, I..."
Xu Ruowei sobbed, her voice filled with deep grievance.
She looked at Shen Xizhou pitifully and said, "Xizhou, look, even in front of you, An Nuan still attacks me. If you weren't here, An Nuan would surely kill me."
Xu Ruowei expected Shen Xizhou to comfort her, but what happened next was beyond her wildest imagination.
She thought Shen Xizhou would comfort her, but instead, she was roughly pushed away by Shen Xizhou with disgust and coldness: "Get lost, you're dirty."
She looked at Shen Xizhou in disbelief, unable to comprehend that such heartless words could come from his mouth.
Why was Shen Xizhou treating her like this?
At this moment, she harbored hatred for Shen Xizhou, but she managed to suppress it.
"Xizhou, you believe what An Nuan said too, don't you?"
"If that's the case, then I'll leave."
"So, all the things I've done have turned out to be a joke."
Shen Xizhou let out a cold scoff. He found Xu Ruowei's words utterly ridiculous.
An Nuan looked at Xu Ruowei coldly. As Xu Ruowei was about to slander her again, An Nuan walked to a corner, took out her phone, and played the video she had recorded.
The picture and sound were crystal clear.
As Xu Ruowei heard the voices, she reached out to snatch An Nuan's phone. But An Nuan dodged it and said coldly, "What's wrong? Feeling guilty like a thief caught in the act? Or are you afraid that what you've done will be discovered and now you want to destroy it?"
An Nuan threw the phone directly at Xu Ruowei's face and said coldly, "It's yours now."
Xu Ruowei looked at An Nuan in surprise, not understanding why An Nuan would just give her the phone.
Was she not afraid that she would destroy it?
This precious item, would she really destroy it just like that?
Could she really be willing?
A sarcastic smile played on Xu Ruowei's lips as she looked at An Nuan.
Hmph, An Nuan was so foolish. If that was the case, then she couldn't be blamed.
After all, An Nuan had given it to her, not that she had snatched it.
The first thing Xu Ruowei did was delete the contents of the phone.
After deleting them, she still felt uneasy. After some thought, she threw the phone directly into the water.
Watching the phone submerged in the water, Xu Ruowei smiled, a brilliant smile spreading across her face.
An Nuan watched Xu Ruowei smile and said coldly, "Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you something. I've already sent everything from my phone to Nangong Jin's phone. It's also saved in the cloud."
"You've only destroyed my phone, but you haven't destroyed everything else."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ruowei's face instantly changed.
No. No, how could this be possible?
How could An Nuan do this to her?
She wouldn't.
Xu Ruowei looked at Shen Xizhou, her face turning extremely grim. She suddenly thought of something and grabbed his arm, whispering in his ear, "Xizhou, you promised you would protect me forever. And I almost lost my life because of you. Have you forgotten all that?"
"You were the one who said you would protect me."
"Xizhou, I really can't live without you."
"Xizhou, I... I just care about you too much, that's why I did those things just now. I didn't really want to, but I was too afraid of losing you."
"Xizhou, I was truly scared, that's why I acted that way."
Seeing Shen Xizhou's face still grim, Xu Ruowei did not give up trying to persuade him. She stated firmly, "Xizhou, I can't live without you. Without you, I truly wouldn't be able to go on."
"You're all I have now."
With bloodshot eyes, Xu Ruowei looked at Shen Xizhou pitifully and said, "Xizhou, have you forgotten? If it weren't for me, your life would have been lost."
"The debt of saving a life, you wouldn't have forgotten, would you?"
Shen Xizhou fell into hesitation. After a long moment, he looked at An Nuan and said, "An Nuan, can you not release those videos? Doing so would ruin a person. It could even cost someone their life."
"You are so gentle and considerate. I believe you wouldn't be so heartless, would you?"
An Nuan listened and let out a cold snort.
Listening to Shen Xizhou's words, she found them somewhat laughable.
If she refused, then she would be a wicked person, is that it?
Nangong Jin held An Nuan tightly in his arms and said in her ear, "An Nuan, you don't need to feel so wronged. I will handle this matter."
"An Nuan, let's go. Ignore these people."
"These people will only bring you harm."
Nangong Jin felt immense heartache. He even regretted not taking An Nuan away earlier, allowing her to experience such things here.
And Shen Xizhou, how could he speak so calmly after knowing the truth of everything?
His heart? His mind? Had they been eaten by dogs?
Shen Xizhou was truly unworthy of An Nuan. Fortunately, An Nuan chose him. Otherwise, what other hardships would An Nuan have to endure?
Shen Xizhou would never be worthy of An Nuan's love.
