"No. An Nuan, in this life, I only want you. I will never let you go. You can only be by my side for the rest of your life."
Nan Gong Jin knew that An Nuan was a person of principle, so naturally, she would find it hard to forgive him for what he had done.
"An Nuan, will you only forgive me if I die?"
An Nuan looked at Nan Gong Jin with wide eyes, almost disbelieving him. But in the end? She went from never believing to slowly calming down.
Her gaze fell on Nan Gong Jin, and she said with a calm expression, "Alright, if that's what you think, then so be it. I have nothing more to say. You can do whatever you want."
Nan Gong Jin smiled. So, An Nuan had truly given up on him.
Indeed, this was all his own doing.
Nan Gong Jin stood directly in the middle of the road, having lost all will to live.
He even felt that without An Nuan, nothing else mattered to him.
Cars drove past Nan Gong Jin one by one. An Nuan watched with her heart in her mouth, but Nan Gong Jin showed no fear, remaining in the middle of the road.
Just then, the traffic grew heavier. And as a car was about to hit him, An Nuan directly pushed him away.
However, as An Nuan tried to push him away, he instead pulled her tightly into his embrace.
Nan Gong Jin whispered into An Nuan's ear, "An Nuan, it's okay, it's okay now."
But An Nuan, who had just opened her eyes, paid no mind to herself. All her thoughts were on Nan Gong Jin, even worrying if he was injured.
Upon confirming Nan Gong Jin was unharmed, her face broke into a smile.
The heart that had been suspended in mid-air finally settled.
When An Nuan tried to pull her hand away, Nan Gong Jin immediately grabbed it.
"An Nuan, please don't, don't let go of me, can you?"
Nan Gong Jin said with some excitement, "An Nuan, I know you care about me."
"If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have rushed out just now."
An Nuan initially didn't want to admit it, but after what happened next, Nan Gong Jin didn't even need to explain. An Nuan had already forgiven him.
Nan Gong Jin was speaking normally, but then he bent over, clutching his stomach, and cried out in pain, an intense, agonizing pain.
An Nuan became anxious. She quickly hugged Nan Gong Jin, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "Nan Gong Jin, Nan Gong Jin, I forgive you, I forgive you."
"I promise to be with you," An Nuan said heartbrokenly.
In fact, she truly felt pained. If she hadn't, she wouldn't have said these words.
And she still had feelings for Nan Gong Jin. Without them, it truly wouldn't have mattered.
When Nan Gong Jin heard An Nuan's words, he was overjoyed. He hugged An Nuan tightly, wishing at this moment that time would stop.
"An Nuan."
Nan Gong Jin called out An Nuan's name and held her tightly in his arms, overwhelmed with emotion.
Nan Gong Jin directly picked An Nuan up and walked towards the car.
Shen Xi Zhou, standing on the side, had a smile on his face but said nothing.
Shen Xi Zhou watched the place where An Nuan and Nan Gong Jin disappeared, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Sometimes, he even wondered if he had stepped forward and stopped the two of them, he could have intervened.
But he knew that An Nuan had left with him willingly, so anything he said would be useless. Why should he step forward?
Was it to be disliked?
Thinking this, Shen Xi Zhou's face showed an unfathomable smile.
...
3 months later.
An Nuan told Nan Gong Jin that she was pregnant.
Nan Gong Jin was ecstatic.
And because of her pregnancy, An Nuan was taken very good care of by everyone.
Li Tian came to visit An Nuan. She was overjoyed to hear about An Nuan's pregnancy.
"An Nuan, congratulations. This is wonderful. Everything is finally good now."
"Seeing you and Nan Gong Jin together, I'm truly happy for you. And now you have the fruit of your love. I'm truly happy for you."
"Mmm, thank you, Li Tian."
"By the way, how is Liang Xiao Rou?"
An Nuan asked Li Tian cautiously. She had asked Nan Gong Jin about this before, but he wouldn't tell her. More importantly, everyone around her never mentioned it to her.
She had tried every way she could, but ultimately, to no avail.
She was thinking of calling Li Tian in a couple of days to ask. She didn't expect Li Tian to appear.
"Liang Xiao Rou was sent to that place."
When that place was mentioned, An Nuan asked no more. Because she knew what kind of place Li Tian was referring to.
An Nuan felt it was somewhat cruel. After all, Nan Gong Jin had asked Liang Xiao Rou for help, but then sending her to such a place was indeed a case of "crossing a bridge and burning it."
Although Liang Xiao Rou was detestable, the key point was that if Nan Gong Jin hadn't authorized it, Liang Xiao Rou wouldn't have done those things.
After saying these words, Li Tian felt a pang of regret.
She regretted why she had told An Nuan these things.
She worried if An Nuan would go directly to Nan Gong Jin to ask. If she did? Would the two of them argue again?
Thinking this, she felt unwell.
Yes, it was indeed so.
Li Tian looked at An Nuan and quickly said, "An Nuan, let's just keep this between us."
"Please, please don't cause any more trouble, understand?"
"I actually regret telling you this."
An Nuan looked at Li Tian, who was looking unhappy, and asked, "Why? What is there to regret?"
"Are you worried that I'll go and tell Nan Gong Jin after hearing this?"
An Nuan looked at the displeased Li Tian and quickly said, "Li Tian, don't worry. I know what you're worried about, but Li Tian, I won't say anything."
"I was just asking."
An Nuan took Li Tian's hand and said earnestly, "Besides, my entire focus now is on my belly. I can't afford to think about others anymore."
When Li Tian heard this, her previously worried expression turned into a smile.
Li Tian immediately said, "Yes, now the most important thing is to care for and protect the child in your belly, not things outside that have nothing to do with us."
"An Nuan, you're right."
An Nuan and Li Tian looked at each other and smiled.
