Seeing that Shen Xizhou seemed moved, and even didn't retort to her words, his eyes full of guilt towards her, Xu Ruowei became even more smug. She thought that this method had indeed worked.
Thinking so, her initial worries were completely unnecessary.
"Now, I've figured it out. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. As long as I can watch you from afar."
Listening to Xu Ruowei's humble words, Shen Xizhou's eyes were filled with deep guilt as he looked at her.
Clearly, he was in the wrong in this matter, yet it was the one who had contributed and was destroyed who was apologizing and saying sorry.
In fact, if something hadn't happened with Xu Ruowei, he would probably still be with An Nuan, hoping for her forgiveness.
"Ruowei, things are not as you think. Can you please stop overthinking?"
"Come here. If you have something to say, let's sit down and talk properly. I believe that if I can explain clearly, perhaps you will believe what I say."
"Xizhou, I know you're just saying these nice words to make me happy."
"Xizhou, I'm really happy."
"But Xizhou, some things aren't just 'it's fine' when you say so."
"Ruowei, we'll go get our marriage certificate immediately. That way, you won't be overthinking."
"Are you serious?"
Xu Ruowei looked at Shen Xizhou in disbelief and asked back.
Her face was completely filled with smiles, without any pretense.
"Ruowei, I mean it. We can get married anytime."
"Ruowei, I know that perhaps in your eyes, everything I'm saying now is a lie."
"But, Ruowei, you have to believe me, every word I say comes from the heart."
"No, this matter is a bit too big, I think..."
Yan Bai, sitting on the side, could no longer sit calmly.
Because before An Nuan appeared, she could do whatever she pleased. But now, she felt like she had been tricked.
Shen Xizhou glanced at Yan Bai, signaling him to be quiet.
Actually, if Yan Bai hadn't spoken, no one would have thought he was mute.
The issue was that he spoke too much.
His naturally talkative demeanor left people speechless.
Finally, under Shen Xizhou's persuasion, Xu Ruowei obediently agreed, after all, since Shen Xizhou had said it, he would definitely do it.
Yan Bai truly couldn't bear to watch any longer, but the situation had already developed to this point.
Yan Bai cleared his throat softly.
The matter came to a temporary halt as Xu Ruowei stopped causing trouble.
However, Xu Ruowei didn't want to give up so easily. But some things were not up to her to decide whether to give up or not.
In fact, if she hadn't seen Shen Xizhou's displeased expression, she wouldn't have given up so easily. But Shen Xizhou had already agreed to her request, and she still believed in striking while the iron was hot.
Yan Bai looked at Xu Ruowei with the air of a victor, and he truly couldn't stand to look at her anymore. This person was truly disgusting.
...
For a week, Shen Xizhou never appeared before An Nuan, and An Nuan was living quite well. At least, no one had bothered her during these days, which could be said to be her dream come true.
An Nuan held a contract in her hand. She had been preparing for half a month, and she believed she would succeed.
An Nuan sat in a coffee shop. Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder from behind. As she stood up to speak, upon seeing Xu Ruowei's face, the smile on her lips vanished instantly.
Her brows furrowed tightly. She was certainly not happy to see Xu Ruowei suddenly appear before her.
She wondered why such a detestable person existed in the world.
An Nuan wanted to leave. She didn't want to be in the same place as Xu Ruowei; it was too stifling. She was quite helpless about Xu Ruowei's appearance at this moment.
An Nuan ignored the person in front of her and said coldly, "Xu Ruowei, please leave, can you?"
"I think there's nothing left to say between us."
"I think you don't need to waste your breath."
"I've already said it, I have absolutely no relationship with Shen Xizhou anymore. Why do you continue to waste your time on me?"
Xu Ruowei, however, languidly wasted her time.
She shook her head.
While An Nuan was anxious, Xu Ruowei was extremely calm. She stared intently.
This time, she decided to properly gloat.
However, at this moment, Xu Ruowei said happily, "An Nuan, tell me, in this matter, who won, you or me?"
But after she finished speaking, An Nuan showed no sign of fear.
She stared intently at An Nuan, not believing that An Nuan was truly not scared at all. Normally, she should have been afraid.
After a long while, Xu Ruowei finally couldn't hold back and gritted her teeth, shouting, "An Nuan, do you think you've won now?"
"No, I'm telling you, you haven't won."
Xu Ruowei almost roared the words out.
"Xu Ruowei, there's no need for you to act like this."
"Even if you won, so what?"
"Winning is ultimately just winning for yourself to see."
Xu Ruowei said even more smugly, "An Nuan, hah, do you think I'll be scared by you?"
An Nuan shook her head and replied thoughtfully, "No, you won't."
Xu Ruowei snatched the documents from An Nuan's hand, threw them on the ground, and stomped on them forcefully, saying loudly, "An Nuan, you must treasure this, right?"
"Actually, you don't need to worry."
"Oh, by the way, let me tell you, even if your document is written very well, no one will want it."
An Nuan looked at Xu Ruowei in confusion and then suddenly seemed to understand.
"Is it because of Shen Xizhou?"
An Nuan was somewhat taken aback. Was Shen Xizhou that powerful? Could he ruin something so important?
At this moment, she seemed to doubt it.
Xu Ruowei laughed triumphantly and said loudly, "Heh, do you think everyone is like you?"
"Let me tell you, in this matter, I am the final victor, do you know that?"
These words were vague and confusing.
An Nuan's brows furrowed tightly, and she said displeasedly, "Even if Shen Xizhou is helping you from behind, I believe his reach, no matter how long, cannot extend this far."
Hearing this, Xu Ruowei's hands clenched tightly, and her entire demeanor turned somewhat unpleasant.
She had originally come to humiliate An Nuan, but why was she the one being humiliated? And she hadn't gained any advantage at all.
