"An Nuan, is Nangong Jin really that important to you? Are you willing to do anything for him?"
"And what about me? What do I count for?" Shen Xizhou looked at An Nuan, his eyes filled with anger.
"Shen Xizhou, you and I have long had no relationship. Doesn't it sound ridiculous when you ask that?"
"Mr. Shen, I will be with Nangong Jin forever. My heart belongs only to Nangong Jin. Please, can you stop appearing in front of me?"
She said her heart only had Nangong Jin.
She said to ask him not to disturb her and Nangong Jin.
How could she say these things so calmly in front of him?
This was the answer Shen Xizhou least wanted to hear, but in the end, he heard it.
His reason was instantly burned away. He grabbed An Nuan's hand and pulled her aside, pushing her against the wall. He looked at her coldly, his fingers pinching her cheek, forcing her to meet his gaze. He wouldn't let her look away.
How could she forget him? How could she not care about him?
She had said her heart would always belong to him. She had said that even if the world ended, the one she loved would still be him. She had said that no matter what happened, she would never leave him. But now, it seemed she had broken her promise.
"An Nuan, I remember all those words from back then. Have you forgotten?"
"An Nuan, you said you would love me forever."
"Shen Xizhou, do these words sound familiar? I said them before. Do you remember how you treated me then? How did you reply?"
"Shen Xizhou, do you need me to remind you?"
What An Nuan said was extremely harsh, her eyes full of disgust and disdain.
Shen Xizhou was deeply hurt by the look in An Nuan's eyes.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of refuting An Nuan, but he found himself unable to find any words to do so.
What An Nuan said was indeed what he had done and what he had said. In fact, what An Nuan said was quite polite. What he had done was even more excessive.
Seeing Shen Xizhou hesitate, An Nuan thought this was her perfect opportunity to escape. If she didn't escape now, she might never have another chance.
Shen Xizhou was like a madman. Who knew what he might do?
However, just as An Nuan was about to leave, Shen Xizhou grabbed her wrist, and in an instant, all hope vanished.
"Shen Xizhou, let go of me."
"An Nuan, I will not let you go. You will forever belong only to me."
Shen Xizhou's gaze fell on An Nuan, and he said with some anxiety, "An Nuan, really, I know I wronged you back then. Can you give me a chance to apologize? A chance to repent?"
"Shen Xizhou, I've already made it very clear. No."
"I won't give you any chance."
"Besides, I don't care about you at all. Stop appearing in front of me."
Hearing An Nuan's words, Shen Xizhou's eyes were filled with helplessness.
At this moment, he didn't know what to do or what to say.
An Nuan no longer cared about him, no longer valued him. He was nothing to her anymore.
Shen Xizhou's entire being seemed to have lost its soul, his eyes devoid of any expression or focus.
Yet, even so, An Nuan felt no warmth, nor did she believe a single word he said.
Even Shen Xizhou's voice now made her utterly disgusted.
An Nuan left. She forcefully pulled away Shen Xizhou's hand and then left without saying a word.
At this moment, Shen Xizhou's eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment.
But he just watched An Nuan leave.
He thought, even if he went forward and grabbed An Nuan's hand, what good would that do? What would he say to An Nuan? Would An Nuan even believe him? Certainly not.
He thought that perhaps giving An Nuan some time to think would be beneficial for both him and An Nuan.
Shen Xizhou looked extremely unwell.
He went to the garage, opened the car door, and prepared to drive away.
But as soon as the car started, he crashed it into a pillar. He lurched forward, and blood flowed from his forehead. Shen Xizhou was injured.
Shen Xizhou was sent to the hospital. Top doctors and the best hospital saved Shen Xizhou.
"An Nuan..."
Shen Xizhou had not yet regained consciousness, and he was still murmuring, "An Nuan, please don't leave me, okay?"
"An Nuan, I can't live without you. An Nuan, please forgive me, can you?"
However, An Nuan could not hear a single word of what he was saying.
"Boss, don't move around. You still have an IV in your hand." Yan Bai, seeing Shen Xizhou wake up, immediately pressed the call button to summon a doctor.
But while waiting for the doctor, the boss kept moving, almost pulling out the needle. He was completely restless.
"Boss, if you continue like this, your body won't be able to take it," Yan Bai said anxiously.
Shen Xizhou, however, said coldly, "Where is An Nuan? Why haven't I seen An Nuan?"
"Yan Bai, how many days have I been unconscious? What time is it now?" Shen Xizhou calmed down and asked Yan Bai somewhat impatiently.
Yan Bai's expression was not good. He looked at Shen Xizhou with a dazed expression, his eyes darting around as if he didn't want to say anything.
But Shen Xizhou saw Yan Bai's actions very clearly.
"Yan Bai, just tell me directly what's going on."
"If I find out you're hiding anything from me, I will kill you."
Yan Bai finally recounted everything that had happened in the past few days.
"Has... has she come to see me even once?" Shen Xizhou asked again, still unwilling to give up.
"No."
Yan Bai originally didn't want to say such hurtful words, but being pressed so relentlessly, he had no choice.
Besides, he couldn't make up lies, as these things could be easily verified.
"Tell her to come. I want to see her," Shen Xizhou said emotionally.
Yan Bai was stunned. No, if An Nuan could really come, then it wouldn't be him standing here, but An Nuan.
This was not something he could decide.
It was indeed quite a difficult situation.
"Boss, when you're feeling better, you can go find Miss An. I think that would be acceptable too," Yan Bai said placatingly.
Shen Xizhou glanced at Yan Bai and said coldly, "No, it's now."
Yan Bai was truly out of options. He thought that perhaps bringing An Nuan here would make things easier to handle.
