Nan Gong Jin was naturally nervous when he heard An Nuan's words.
It was difficult enough for An Nuan to say such things to him. If he didn't cherish this opportunity, how long would he have to wait? He dared not think about it.
Most importantly, he was determined to cherish this chance, as such opportunities were rare.
Nan Gong Jin looked at An Nuan, whose face remained as smiling as ever.
Nan Gong Jin wondered if what he had just said had upset An Nuan.
Did it make An Nuan feel that he had never intended to be with her from the beginning?
No, he would absolutely not let such a thing happen.
Li Tian stepped forward, her gaze falling on Nan Gong Jin and An Nuan. She couldn't help but feel anxious for the two of them, even as an outsider.
Li Tian really wanted to step forward and help. However, just as she was about to speak, Nan Gong Jin, standing beside her, said something that made Li Tian obediently stand aside, saying nothing more.
Since Nan Gong Jin already had his own ideas and knew what to do, there was nothing for her to do here. She could just sit and watch.
In the end, they agreed to go a few days later.
Li Tian disagreed, and Nan Gong Jin disagreed. But in the end, because of An Nuan's words, both of them, no matter how persistent they were in disagreeing, eventually agreed.
As a result, Li Tian and Huo Yu Xuan's wedding photos were also postponed.
This was because Li Tian said they had to go together.
...
Half a month later.
An Nuan invited Li Tian out, wanting to talk to her. Li Tian was naturally happy to come out.
The two met and found a quiet place to sit down, chatting over coffee.
But in the end, a phone call changed everything.
An Nuan frowned at the unfamiliar phone number and directly rejected it. But at this moment, the phone rang again. She had just started talking to Li Tian, and before they could exchange more than a few words, the phone rang again.
Li Tian looked at An Nuan and said, "You should answer it. Perhaps it's something important."
An Nuan nodded.
She picked up the phone. At that moment, a familiar voice came from the other end, and An Nuan instinctively wanted to hang up.
However, the person on the other end said some threatening words, and An Nuan's expression became increasingly grim.
An Nuan told Li Tian that she had urgent matters to attend to and had to leave. Li Tian naturally didn't want An Nuan to go.
Li Tian looked at An Nuan and said, "An Nuan, are you going to meet the person who called? If so, would it be convenient for me to go with you?"
Seeing An Nuan's displeased expression, she guessed that the person who called was someone An Nuan didn't want to see, yet she had to meet them. This meant that person must have threatened An Nuan in some way for her to act like this.
An Nuan hung up the phone, her face extremely pale. She was swaying, almost collapsing. Fortunately, Li Tian caught her at that moment, her face full of worry.
Back then, when An Yun Xiu was alive, Shen Xi Zhou used An Yun Xiu to threaten her. Now, he was using An Yun Xiu to threaten her again.
Was Shen Xi Zhou so shameless? An Yun Xiu was already dead, and he wouldn't even let a dead person rest?
Back then, he had threatened her with An Yun Xiu, nearly costing her her life. Now, was he planning to use An Yun Xiu to threaten her again and directly take her life?
Why couldn't Shen Xi Zhou let her go?
In the past, Shen Xi Zhou had tormented her for Xu Ruo Wei. Now, was he still tormenting her for Xu Ruo Wei?
An Nuan pondered how she could make Shen Xi Zhou let her go.
However, Shen Xi Zhou said he had many things of Yun Xiu's, and that those were things she wanted.
An Nuan considered that perhaps Shen Xi Zhou was lying. But what if it were true?
Therefore, at this moment, An Nuan was somewhat conflicted.
Shen Xi Zhou might have known she would hesitate, or he might have thought she wouldn't go. He even added, "An Nuan, you wouldn't choose to ignore Ye Qing Cheng's situation, would you?"
Ye Qing Cheng's situation?
At this moment, An Nuan could no longer remain calm.
Ye Qing Cheng, the Ye family. She owed the Ye family too much. In fact, even her own life was not enough to repay them.
Shen Xi Zhou said these words because he was sure she would agree.
Li Tian, standing beside her, was full of worry.
"An Nuan, what's wrong? What happened? Tell me quickly, maybe I can help you."
Li Tian walked over and supported An Nuan. However, An Nuan seemed to have lost her will to live, her face extremely grim, even pale. Her entire being seemed drained.
An Nuan stared ahead, her eyes devoid of focus.
Li Tian was extremely worried. An Nuan looked very wrong at the moment, and she was afraid An Nuan might do something reckless.
Li Tian wondered if she should call Nan Gong Jin.
Perhaps it would be better if Nan Gong Jin was by An Nuan's side. At least it would be better than her being here.
However, what she wanted to know more was who that damned person was who had called An Nuan, and what exactly had they said to make An Nuan like this?
An Nuan quickly grabbed Li Tian's hand. "Li Tian, no, don't tell Nan Gong Jin."
Li Tian said worriedly, "No, we must tell Nan Gong Jin. You are not well right now, your state is very bad."
"Let him come. I believe Nan Gong Jin can help you solve your troubles."
"No, don't."
"I don't want Nan Gong Jin to know about this."
After hearing this, Li Tian looked at An Nuan with increasing confusion. What did she mean by not wanting Nan Gong Jin to know about this?
Suddenly, a name flashed in her mind: Shen Xi Zhou?
"It's Shen Xi Zhou." Li Tian said Shen Xi Zhou's name with firm conviction.
An Nuan nodded. "Yes, it is him."
"It's Shen Xi Zhou again. What does he want? You two have no relationship anymore."
"Regarding the previous incident, he already said that the person he trusts is Xu Ruo Wei, and the person he wants to protect is also Xu Ruo Wei."
"Then why is he looking for you now?"
"Thinking about it now, perhaps he wants you to go to avenge Xu Ruo Wei."
"After all, Xu Ruo Wei lost face that time, and it was because of you."
"Who knows, maybe Xu Ruo Wei went back and sowed discord in front of Shen Xi Zhou, and whispered in his ear, then Shen Xi Zhou would obediently listen."
"Li Tian, it's okay. I will handle this myself," An Nuan said calmly. She looked at Li Tian, as if thinking about how to persuade her.
It was her own business, and she didn't want Li Tian to get involved. Li Tian's life had already been difficult enough. Now that Huo Yu Xuan was by her side, she had finally found happiness after hardship. She didn't want Li Tian to be dragged into her troubles again.
