As An Nuan was about to say something more, she saw Xu Ruowei. Meeting Xu Ruowei's resentful gaze, An Nuan smiled.
At this point, Xu Ruowei could still resent her so much. After so many things had happened, didn't she understand?
Her placing all her thoughts on An Nuan was the most irrational thing she had ever done.
She should now place all her thoughts on Shen Xizhou, and win Shen Xizhou back. This would be good for her, and good for everyone.
An Nuan showed a rare, small smile, and said to Shen Xizhou, "Mr. Shen, the person behind you is the one you want to protect, the one you should protect with your life."
"That person has also sacrificed a lot for you, hasn't she?"
"Although she is very vicious towards me, I must say that everything she has done is for you."
Seeing Shen Xizhou about to say something, An Nuan calmly said, "Shen Xizhou, you were the one who gave Xu Ruowei hope at the beginning. If you hadn't given her any hope, things wouldn't have become like this. You think you are the one who was deceived, but have you ever considered that all of this is your own doing?"
"If you hadn't given Xu Ruowei hope back then, how could she have done such things?"
"Shen Xizhou, you have always pushed all the blame onto others, but what about you? What about yourself? Have you ever looked for the reasons within yourself?"
"Don't you have any reasons yourself? Aren't you at fault?"
Shen Xizhou listened to An Nuan's words and fell into a confusing memory.
Thinking about the events of the past few years, just as An Nuan said, if he had been firm back then, these things wouldn't have happened now.
Looking at An Nuan before him, Shen Xizhou felt a sense of strangeness.
Suddenly, as Shen Xizhou was about to say something, Xu Ruowei, who was standing not far away, appeared before Shen Xizhou. She looked at Shen Xizhou, her eyes red, and said, "Shen Xizhou, An Nuan is absolutely right."
"If you hadn't kept me by your side back then, if you hadn't given me the chance to get close to you. Then I wouldn't have become like this."
"Shen Xizhou, all this time, you've blamed everything on me, but have you ever thought that you are the instigator of all this?"
"Without you, there wouldn't be me now."
"And I wouldn't be in so much pain."
"Xu Ruowei." Shen Xizhou frowned, clearly very disgusted by Xu Ruowei's sudden appearance.
"What are you doing here? How dare you show your face to me again."
Shen Xizhou looked at Xu Ruowei with disdain, speaking coldly.
A trace of pain and unwillingness welled up in Xu Ruowei's heart.
This was the man she had loved for years.
Over the years, she had done everything for him. But the result was so heartbreaking. Perhaps, it was truly her own doing.
An Nuan wanted to leave. She didn't want to stand there watching everything unfold.
For some reason, Nangong Jin held An Nuan's hand, preventing her from leaving.
An Nuan had no choice but to stand still and watch.
Listening to the conversation between the two, An Nuan found it somewhat amusing.
She suddenly felt that all the words she had just spoken seemed to have gone in one ear and out the other.
Nangong Jin hooked his lips and whispered in An Nuan's ear, "Nuannuan, how do you feel hearing these words?"
"Aren't you very glad that you left that person back then?"
"And then you met me? Do you think I am your salvation?"
"Yes, that's right. Everything you say is correct." An Nuan's face was full of smiles.
Listening to Nangong Jin's words at this moment, she felt he was indeed a bit childish.
However, she really liked this kind of Nangong Jin. Because, everything this man said and did was for her.
She didn't want to manage anything or care about anything now. She just wanted to be with Nangong Jin. She just wanted to cherish this hard-won happiness.
An Nuan raised her eyes and looked at Nangong Jin, meeting his smiling face, and said sweetly, "Nangong Jin, it's so good to have you by my side."
"If you hadn't appeared, I really wouldn't dare to imagine what my future days would be like."
"An Nuan, you know? What you said truly makes me so happy."
An Nuan's face was full of smiles as she said, "Nangong Jin, I will cherish you well."
"Mm, then you better hold on to me tightly. Someone as excellent as me has many people who want to snatch me away. If you're not careful and I'm snatched away, you'll have nowhere to cry then." Nangong Jin said jokingly.
Nangong Jin was thinking about what reaction An Nuan would have after hearing his words.
But at this moment, he saw An Nuan shedding tears.
Nangong Jin instantly panicked. He really hadn't expected it to turn out this way.
He reached out, frantically wiping away An Nuan's tears, and kept apologizing.
"Nuannuan, Nuannuan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to make you happy."
"I didn't expect that my joking words would make you angry."
At this moment, Nangong Jin was truly remorseful.
Nangong Jin truly cared about An Nuan, otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted this way.
He wondered if An Nuan would start to dislike him because of this? Would she leave him because of this?
Numerous terrible thoughts were already sprouting in his mind. He was thinking about what he should do to stop An Nuan from being angry? How could he make her forgive him?
"An Nuan, believe me, what I said was just a joke."
Nangong Jin was thinking, "Look, you wanted to joke around, but now the joke has gone too far. If you want to regret it now, it's probably too late. As expected, people shouldn't let themselves go too wild."
This was the consequence of letting oneself go too wild.
"You don't need to worry so much. I don't mean to blame you. You don't need to worry so much."
"An Nuan, that's great. Thank you for not being angry."
An Nuan listened to Nangong Jin's words. She really wanted to say that he didn't need to be so cautious, but just as she was about to say these words, Nangong Jin stared at her intently, and she swallowed the words back directly.
...
Shen Xizhou completely ignored what Xu Ruowei was saying. He even wished Xu Ruowei would disappear from his sight immediately. Xu Ruowei's appearance made An Nuan hate him even more.
Why did Xu Ruowei have to appear here? She shouldn't have.
Shen Xizhou listened to Nangong Jin and An Nuan talking. He wanted to step forward, to destroy everything before him.
Even if these things were to happen, they should have happened to him.
Nangong Jin was not worthy of An Nuan.
