An Nuan glanced at Nangong Jin beside her, instantly understanding his thoughts. She immediately said, "No, you don't need to do anything for me."
"Nangong Jin, you've already done enough for me. Most importantly, I don't believe what I said to Shen Xizhou."
Meeting Nangong Jin's probing and questioning gaze, An Nuan continued, "It doesn't matter to me anymore. What matters now is the people around me, as long as they are well."
Nangong Jin didn't bring up the matter again. He knew An Nuan actually preferred not to talk about it. So, let it be.
However, he was always uneasy about An Nuan being alone recently. Looking at the calm An Nuan, he felt that the quiet An Nuan worried him even more. If An Nuan could vent her anger directly, he wouldn't be so concerned.
He worried that An Nuan would hide everything in her heart, which would suffocate her.
He thought of someone and finally took out his phone to call Huo Yuxuan.
...
For the past few days, Li Tian had been accompanying An Nuan, even speaking with extreme caution.
She was a little afraid that her words would provoke An Nuan. After all, An Yunxiu was a special presence for An Nuan. The calmer An Nuan became, the more troublesome the situation seemed to her.
If An Nuan had spoken out directly, things would have been easier to handle, but An Nuan kept her feelings bottled up, bearing everything. In truth, this made them worry even more.
If An Nuan had cried or made a scene, she wouldn't be this worried.
But An Nuan was too quiet now, so quiet it frightened her.
"An Nuan, if there's anything you want to say or do, please just say it. There's no need to force yourself."
"An Nuan, I'm worried about you..." Li Tian persuaded softly, wondering why An Nuan's fate was like this.
She thought that after An Nuan married Nangong Jin, she would be happy forever. Nangong Jin treated An Nuan very well, but then Shen Xizhou appeared, constantly pestering An Nuan, which was truly detestable.
All the grievances An Nuan had suffered before were inflicted by Shen Xizhou. Now that An Nuan's life had finally improved, Shen Xizhou had reappeared and ruined her good days again.
The thing Li Tian feared most had finally happened.
For the past few days, Li Tian had been accompanying An Nuan, worried that An Nuan might do something drastic.
In fact, An Nuan had thought things through during these days of calm. She glanced at Li Tian beside her, feeling a pang of guilt.
Because of her own issues, Li Tian had been with her all these days.
"Li Tian, you don't need to stay with me all the time."
"I'm really fine now. Thank you so much for these past few days. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on."
Li Tian looked at An Nuan and shook her head, saying, "An Nuan, as long as you're okay, that's all that matters."
"An Nuan, I don't have anything else going on right now, so I'll stay here and keep you company."
In truth, Li Tian was still worried, but she didn't say it.
An Nuan's eyes were full of smiles. Although Li Tian didn't say it, she knew Li Tian was worried about her.
Before Li Tian could say more, An Nuan took her hand and said firmly, "Li Tian, I'm really fine. You don't need to worry about me so much."
"But An Nuan..." Just as Li Tian was about to speak, her phone rang. Without thinking, she hung up. However, the caller seemed persistent and kept calling. Li Tian glanced at the phone, sighed helplessly, picked it up, and turned it off.
An Nuan watched Li Tian's series of actions, her face full of smiles.
With a smile, she said, "It's Huo Yuxuan's call, isn't it?"
"Li Tian, you've been here for several days. It's not a solution for you to stay here all the time. You..."
"An Nuan, nothing else matters as much as you do."
"An Nuan, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today. Nothing is more important than your situation."
Listening to Li Tian's words, An Nuan's face was filled with smiles.
Her voice carried a hint of teasing, "Li Tian, I'm really fine. Also, I really don't want you to have any distance from Huo Yuxuan because of me."
"Li Tian, do you know? Huo Yuxuan is someone worth entrusting your life to. I hope you'll be happy too."
"Actually, I'm already very happy because I have Nangong Jin by my side."
"As for what Shen Xizhou said, I wasn't in a good mood when I first heard it, but thinking about it, those words are really insignificant and have no impact on me at all."
Although Li Tian was reluctant to leave, under An Nuan's repeated insistence, she finally left.
Because An Nuan had said that if she didn't leave, An Nuan would be angry.
Li Tian sighed helplessly. She knew very well that everything An Nuan said and did was for her own good.
...
When Li Tian returned, she saw Huo Yuxuan waiting for her.
Without saying a word, she threw herself into Huo Yuxuan's arms and sobbed silently.
Huo Yuxuan said nothing, just gently comforted the person in front of him. He could only offer silent solace.
"Huo Yuxuan, you know, I thought An Nuan would be happy forever. But why is there a Shen Xizhou in this world? When Shen Xizhou appeared, he destroyed all of An Nuan's happiness."
"Why did someone like Shen Xizhou appear? Why can't he just let An Nuan go?"
"Because of Shen Xizhou, An Nuan has become like this now."
"You said Shen Xizhou already has Xu Ruowei, so can't he just let An Nuan go?"
"Can't he just let An Nuan go? He has already harmed An Nuan terribly."
Huo Yuxuan held her tightly in his arms, constantly comforting her.
He softly said, "Li Tian, you've done your best."
"But don't forget, An Nuan has Nangong Jin by her side, and he will handle any problems for her."
"You really don't need to worry. Actually, I think An Nuan said something very right. You should focus your attention on me."
Li Tian looked up, her gaze falling on Huo Yuxuan, her eyes filled with deep confusion. How did he know what she and An Nuan had said?
