Regarding the events of today, Li Tian even felt like lashing out, and of course, Huo Yuxuan by her side was treated like collateral damage.
Huo Yuxuan was also quite innocent; he hadn't done anything at all and was just dragged into this. Could he still escape now?
Later, he realized, no, he couldn't escape now.
An Nuan watched Li Tian speak, a smile on her face.
Even when she heard Li Tian's complaints, she felt incredibly happy. Back then, she thought Li Tian was dead and would never have the chance to see her again in this lifetime.
Of course, looking at Li Tian now, her face was full of smiles.
She even felt that this was a truly good thing for her.
"An Nuan, I didn't expect Ji Wen Yun to be so manly in his handling of Xia Wanqing this time. He didn't hold back at all."
"An Nuan, what Ji Wen Yun did this time was too good; it really moved me."
"When Xia Wanqing knelt and begged Ji Wen Yun to spare her, I was genuinely worried he'd just agree. Fortunately, Ji Wen Yun didn't spare Xia Wanqing; instead, he sent her a thousand miles away. He really did this excellently."
An Nuan reached out and gently tugged on Li Tian's arm, whispering in her ear, "Li Tian, speak softly. Huo Yuxuan is still standing here; you need to be more careful with your words."
Li Tian directly slapped An Nuan's hand away, saying with a serious expression, "Don't worry, I have this under control. You really don't need to worry."
An Nuan still spoke softly, "Li Tian, you should still consider Huo Yuxuan's feelings."
Li Tian initially didn't want to explain or say anything, but An Nuan kept pulling at her, making her pay attention to Huo Yuxuan's expression. These interruptions, especially when she was getting excited, really affected her mood.
Her ferocious gaze fell on Huo Yuxuan, as if she wanted to destroy him.
Huo Yuxuan was stunned. He kept thinking, no, it couldn't be that bad. He hadn't done or said anything. Such a look was truly terrifying.
"Huo Yuxuan, do you know? Your presence here is incredibly unsightly," Li Tian said with deep displeasure, almost as if she were crying.
Huo Yuxuan was completely taken aback. Wait, why was she crying? He really hadn't done anything, and yet he was constantly being glared at. He even felt like he should be the one crying.
Why was she acting wronged first?
Li Tian looked at Huo Yuxuan and said excitedly, "Huo Yuxuan, stand further away, understand?"
When An Nuan wanted to say something in defense of Huo Yuxuan, Huo Yuxuan quickly glanced at An Nuan and said seriously, "An Nuan, don't say any more. If you continue, I'll be truly miserable."
An Nuan: "..."
Seeing Huo Yuxuan's state, An Nuan sighed helplessly. In this situation, it was clearly a case of one willing to hit and one willing to be hit.
Finally, under Huo Yuxuan's pleading gaze, An Nuan didn't say any more.
After all, her thoughts and opinions on some matters couldn't represent Li Tian's.
Observing the way Huo Yuxuan and Li Tian interacted, she even felt a little envious.
After Li Tian finished speaking, Huo Yuxuan obediently stood aside without saying a word.
"An Nuan, do you know? That Shen Xizhou is simply not human. It's so infuriating. I wonder what kind of monster Xu Ruowei is made of that he believes everything she says so readily?"
After Li Tian finished speaking, she noticed An Nuan's troubled expression and suddenly realized she had said something she shouldn't have.
She quickly covered her mouth and looked at An Nuan, cautiously saying, "An Nuan, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. I was just... I was just so angry that I blurted it out."
"An Nuan, I was just so surprised and excited by what happened today that I spoke like that."
Li Tian looked at An Nuan, as if struck by a thought, and quickly said, "An Nuan, I... I didn't intentionally bring up Shen Xizhou in front of you."
"I... I thought you no longer cared about Shen Xizhou."
"I... I... I really didn't know I shouldn't have mentioned Shen Xizhou in front of you."
An Nuan smiled calmly and said, "Li Tian, don't worry. I really don't blame you. I just felt your words were rather unexpected."
"Actually, it's not that you can't mention Shen Xizhou in front of me."
"Shen Xizhou and I have no relationship whatsoever. It's perfectly normal to mention him in front of me."
"You really don't need to feel embarrassed because of Shen Xizhou."
Li Tian's gaze fell on An Nuan's finger, looking at the sparkling diamond ring with envy and saying, "An Nuan, that pigeon egg on your finger, Nan Gong Jin gave it to you, right? I didn't expect Nan Gong Jin to be such a romantic person. I really didn't."
"An Nuan, you're truly so happy. Nan Gong Jin treats you so well, even giving you a pigeon egg. And me? My finger is bare, with nothing on it." Li Tian said earnestly, extending her hand to show An Nuan, even wanting her to believe her words.
"Li Tian, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"
"Li Tian, you have Huo Yuxuan by your side. He must have given you something too, you just haven't shown it."
"Since Huo Yuxuan is here, how about I ask him directly?"
Li Tian quickly reached out and grabbed An Nuan's hand, preventing her from asking. She even put on a forced smile.
"An Nuan, that's enough. I was just saying it casually; you don't need to take it so seriously."
An Nuan smiled and said, "No, I must take it seriously. In other matters, I might turn a blind eye, but on this, I absolutely will not allow it."
Li Tian held An Nuan's hand and pleaded, "An Nuan, can we just let this matter go, okay?"
"Alright, alright," An Nuan said with a light laugh.
Seeing the smile on Li Tian's face, An Nuan was very happy.
She had never seen Li Tian like this before.
Perhaps, even An Nuan herself hadn't expected such good fortune to befall her.
