"So you really dislike me for being dirty, but back then you never said anything like this, why say it now?"
"An Nuan, back then you hadn't been won over by me, so naturally I wouldn't say anything. Now you're no longer a challenge to me, so why should I be afraid of you?"
"Besides, with so many women around me, why must it be only you?"
"An Nuan, when I, Nangong Jin, say something, I always mean it. And you'd best be obedient, understood?"
"And you should be very clear about my methods."
"An Nuan, I hope we can part on good terms."
An Nuan knew that anything she said now would be useless. She looked at Nangong Jin, her face calm, and said, "Alright, Nangong Jin, just as you said, I'll leave your side. Is that alright?"
"Nangong Jin, from now on, whoever you want to marry is your freedom. I won't say a word."
After An Nuan finished speaking, she left. She was afraid that Nangong Jin would say even more cruel words, and she was truly afraid. She even wondered why she was being treated so harshly.
As An Nuan walked out, Li Tian and Wang Xuerou followed.
Li Tian said indignantly, "An Nuan, I wanted to stand up for you just now, but why didn't you agree? Do you still have feelings for him?"
"An Nuan, forget about someone like that."
Wang Xuerou, who usually listened quietly, spoke up for the first time: "An Nuan, a man like that is useless to keep."
An Nuan didn't respond, she just covered her face and sobbed.
At this moment, she didn't know what to do.
After crying for a long time, An Nuan looked up at her surroundings.
A smile tugged at her lips. "An Nuan, what's there to cry about? Remember, you weren't like this before. Since he doesn't want you anymore, doesn't love you, then let go."
Nangong Jin watched An Nuan sitting by the flowerbed in pain through the glass. At this moment, he desperately wanted to rush over and hold her in his arms to comfort her. But remembering the report he had just seen, all his thoughts stopped.
He continued to watch An Nuan through the glass and said, "An Nuan, I've left everything to you."
"An Nuan, I hope you can be happy."
"An Nuan, I don't want you to know about this and fall into endless sorrow."
Nangong Jin believed that with so many people around An Nuan, she would surely recover in a short period.
Nangong Jin looked away, and as he closed his eyes, there was a myriad of reluctance.
A sound came from behind him. At this moment, Nangong Jin said coldly, "An Nuan, I've already said what I needed to say. Please leave my sight immediately."
"Don't keep bothering me. Your entanglement is a nuisance to me."
"Young Master Nan Gong, it's me." Huo Yuxuan spoke.
It wasn't An Nuan.
Heh, a self-mocking cold laugh curved his lips. She was the one who drove him away. Now she wished for the person to appear by her side to be An Nuan. What a joke.
Huo Yuxuan had been by Nangong Jin's side for many years, so he naturally wouldn't believe that Nangong Jin would do something like this for no reason. He looked at Nangong Jin, somewhat hesitant, the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. Just then, Xuan Yuanheng mustered up the courage and called out, "Young Master Nangong..."
"Today was supposed to be your wedding day with An Nuan. I watched by your side how much effort you put into this wedding, even the smallest details were handled by you personally. But why did you say those words just now?"
Before Nangong Jin could speak, Huo Yuxuan spoke first, "Of course, I don't believe a word you said to An Nuan."
Huo Yuxuan remembered the files he had given Nangong Jin that morning and suddenly realized, "Young Master Nan Gong, is it because you're terminally ill and incurable that you said such cruel words to An Nuan?"
"Because you don't want to burden An Nuan, right?"
However, Nangong Jin said nothing when he heard these words. He just quietly looked at Huo Yuxuan.
At this moment, Huo Yuxuan understood everything. His gaze fell on Nangong Jin, and he said earnestly, "Young Master Nan Gong, you should tell her the truth because An Nuan has the right to know, and she should be the one to decide whether to stay or go. You think you're doing what's best for An Nuan by making this decision for her, but that's not the case for her."
"Young Master Nan Gong, you think you're doing a great job, but have you considered if this is what An Nuan wants?"
"Perhaps, An Nuan will stay by your side after she knows."
Listening to Huo Yuxuan's words, Nangong Jin said coldly, "It's already late stage. There's no chance of survival."
"Even if I give An Nuan a chance now, what about the future? If I die, what will happen to An Nuan?"
"If that's the case, it's better to make An Nuan hate me."
"This way, An Nuan will have the motivation to live, won't she?"
"An Nuan has a long life ahead of her. I don't want to delay her because of me."
"An Nuan is wonderful, and I am not worthy of her." Nangong Jin said painfully. If he could, he wouldn't have generously given An Nuan away. An Nuan was his life.
An Nuan had Li Tian and Wang Xuerou with her. She had said she didn't need them, but the two insisted, and she couldn't do anything about it. She knew they were worried she wouldn't be able to cope and might do something foolish, but An Nuan had told them she wouldn't. However, they didn't believe her and insisted on staying by her side. An Nuan finally had no choice but to accept.
The weather was beautiful that day. Li Tian suggested going out for a walk to clear their minds. An Nuan initially didn't want to go, but unable to resist Li Tian's persistent persuasion, she finally agreed.
However, as soon as they arrived, Nangong Jin appeared, and there was a woman by his side. An Nuan froze. Looking at the woman standing next to Nangong Jin, she thought that this woman looked so much like her, but she wasn't her. Their eyes were almost identical.
As An Nuan wanted to go over and ask Nangong Jin, the woman threw herself into Nangong Jin's arms. If it were any other time, Nangong Jin would have pushed her away, but he glanced at An Nuan standing not far away, and an idea formed in his mind.
