"Shen Xizhou, if you want to immerse yourself in the past, that's your business. Then, you should just stay in the past."
"However, could Mr. Shen kindly let me go? I don't wish to have any connection with Mr. Shen."
"Mr. Shen, please be quiet."
"An Nuan, I love you, I love you with all my heart." Shen Xizhou said loudly, and at this moment, he didn't feel ashamed at all.
Finally, Shen Xizhou knew that no matter how much he said or did, it was useless.
The An Nuan of the past was already gone.
An Nuan stayed to take care of Shen Xizhou, wishing that time would pass quickly.
...
The moment An Nuan saw Yan Bai, her face darkened, and she said coldly, "Yan Bai, I've done what I promised you, so I can leave now."
"From now on, you don't need to contact me anymore. Because I won't contact you either."
Yan Bai: "..."
Yan Bai knew An Nuan would be angry, but he hadn't expected her to be so furious. He had thought An Nuan might discuss this with him privately.
However, An Nuan being so angry wasn't entirely wrong.
After all, anyone would be unhappy in her situation.
An Nuan glanced at Yan Bai and said fiercely, "The matter is done. Next time, don't expect me to agree to do anything for you again."
"An Nuan, actually, I didn't want to be like this. It's just that this matter was too tricky, and I had no choice, which is why I did this. Can you forgive me?"
"If I had any other option, I wouldn't have acted this way."
Yan Bai didn't want to offend the person in front of him, as she was very important.
Yan Bai said many nice words, but An Nuan's expression remained calm.
In fact, Yan Bai wished An Nuan would object loudly or dismiss his words with disdain. Unfortunately, the reality was not so.
"Yan Bai, please don't say those nice words anymore."
"Do you think I would believe what you say?"
Yan Bai: "..."
Let alone whether An Nuan believed him, even he himself wouldn't believe it.
Shen Xizhou was not present at the moment.
An Nuan turned to leave. Since Shen Xizhou was absent, this was her best opportunity to leave. If he were here, it would be difficult for her to go.
Yan Bai watched An Nuan leave, his face extremely grim. He immediately stepped forward and blocked her, saying agitatedly, "You're just leaving like this? Aren't you going to say goodbye to Mr. Shen?"
When he came to work, Shen Xizhou had told him to watch An Nuan carefully and not let her leave.
He hadn't agreed, but Shen Xizhou had left anyway.
And now, An Nuan was leaving right under his nose. So, when Shen Xizhou came out later and couldn't find An Nuan, he would surely face a terrible fate.
An Nuan glanced at Yan Bai, looking at him as if he were an idiot.
"There's no need." An Nuan said coldly.
Yan Bai: "..."
"An Nuan, do you hate me that much? You can't even be bothered to say goodbye?"
An Nuan's brow furrowed. She really hadn't expected Shen Xizhou to appear so quickly. At this moment, she regretted it, wishing she had left earlier.
Now, she couldn't leave.
An Nuan's eyes were filled with a cold and terrifying aura, and she said coldly, "Shen Xizhou, there's nothing to say between you and me."
"Shen Xizhou, do you know? Every time you appear before me, it's torture for me."
"Do you know? I truly wish you would never appear in front of me."
"Even if I beg you, can you stay away from my world?"
"Your presence is a torment to me."
Shen Xizhou fell silent. He was even thinking about how to answer An Nuan's words, how to say something that would make her believe him.
How could he make An Nuan not be so repulsed by him?
An Nuan's disdain for him had reached an absolute level.
However, when he remembered how he had treated An Nuan in the past, he felt he had no right to complain. This was all his own doing.
"Shen Xizhou, you only want me to forgive you, but have you ever thought about what you've done to me?"
"Also, have you considered the harm you've caused me?"
"If it weren't for you, my life wouldn't be like this."
An Nuan directly shoved away Shen Xizhou's hand, which had grabbed her, and said coldly, "Shen Xizhou, please move aside."
Shen Xizhou finally moved aside obediently.
Just then, An Nuan saw Nan Gongjin standing not far away. The moment she saw Nan Gongjin, her heart became somewhat tense. She wondered if Nan Gongjin had seen everything and if he would misunderstand her. Thinking of this, An Nuan's expression turned grim.
Seeing this, Shen Xizhou felt a pang of jealousy.
Why, why was it like this? Why was An Nuan so worried when she faced Nan Gongjin?
Yet, she wasn't like this when she faced him.
"An Nuan, are you alright?" Nan Gongjin asked. As he spoke, his hand landed on An Nuan's hair, gently stroking it, and he said with full concern, "If you hadn't told me on the phone yesterday that you had important matters to attend to, I would have been worried sick."
An Nuan looked at Nan Gongjin with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I've already told you, don't you believe me?"
"No, it's not that I don't believe you." Nan Gongjin glanced at the person standing behind An Nuan and said coldly, "It's just that I don't believe some people."
"After all, they are the ones who have hurt you, so I have to be concerned."
"An Nuan, next time, don't put yourself in danger, okay?"
"I'll worry."
An Nuan finally nodded and said, "Okay."
Watching the interaction between the two, Shen Xizhou, standing not far away, clenched his fists, his eyes filled with a terrifying aura.
At this moment, he even wanted to pull Nan Gongjin's hand away from An Nuan's.
However, An Nuan showed no aversion to Nan Gongjin. On the contrary, her face was full of smiles, which left him speechless for a moment.
Recalling the resolute words An Nuan had spoken to him, he ultimately didn't step forward.
Yan Bai stood nearby, watching the atmosphere. He dared not even breathe, fearing that even his breathing would be a mistake.
The most frustrating thing was that he was still standing there.
He should have been busy in his office by now.
Indeed, the next time he saw Shen Xizhou, he would have to keep his distance to avoid such situations falling upon him.
