Some words that An Nuan wanted to say, but upon meeting Li Tian’s eyes, retreated back into her throat.
In truth, these were words she really shouldn't be saying.
Back then, Li Tian had said similar things to her, and her response had seemed to be the same as Li Tian's.
At that time, her emotions had seemed even more agitated than Li Tian's. So, how could she have the audacity to lecture Li Tian now?
An Nuan’s face held a hint of apology as she said, “Li Tian, let’s talk about these things later.”
“I believe you will eventually meet someone worth a lifetime with.”
“Li Tian, I don’t have any excessive expectations. What I want is for you to be happy.”
Li Tian nodded and said firmly, “Mm, I know. Everything you’ve said is for my own good.”
Li Tian’s face was filled with smiles as she chuckled, “An Nuan, today is your wedding day. Are you just going to leave Nangong Jin aside and talk to me like this?”
An Nuan glanced at the man standing beside her, her eyes full of helplessness.
Nangong Jin’s eyes, however, held a glimmer of light as he said, “Nuan Nuan, it’s alright. Don’t overthink it. Some things are destined to be.”
An Nuan looked at Nangong Jin with a guilty conscience. She had been so worried about Li Tian’s matters that she seemed to have forgotten about Nangong Jin, leaving him aside.
“Nangong Jin, I was just too worried about Li Tian, I…”
As An Nuan spoke, Huo Yuxuan approached from not too far away. Li Tian, at this moment, hurriedly said, “An Nuan, I still have things to attend to. I’ll be leaving now.”
After speaking, Li Tian turned and left. An Nuan, however, followed her gaze to see Nangong Jin and said with a smile, “Li Tian, Huo Yuxuan is here. Don’t you want to give Huo Yuxuan a chance?”
In the end, Li Tian and Huo Yuxuan left. As for what would happen next, it remained unknown.
…
Married to Nangong Jin, An Nuan lived a very good life.
Nangong Jin told her not to work, but An Nuan insisted on going to work.
Perhaps her salary, in Nangong Jin’s eyes, was equivalent to a single meal. But An Nuan felt that going to work made her very happy.
Today, An Nuan had to deal with some work matters.
However, as An Nuan was walking, a car, for some unknown reason, suddenly sped towards her.
But at that very moment, Shen Xizhou saw this scene and immediately pushed An Nuan away. The car, however, crashed directly into him. Fortunately, Shen Xizhou’s reflexes were quick, and he only sustained a minor graze.
Shen Xizhou fell onto the road after being hit, but his gaze remained fixed on An Nuan, constantly concerned about her, as if worried whether she had been injured.
Fortunately, An Nuan was unharmed.
Shen Xizhou was then sent to the hospital.
An Nuan followed him, after all, Shen Xizhou had been injured saving her. She certainly couldn’t just leave.
In fact, she didn’t want any involvement with Shen Xizhou, but since Shen Xizhou was injured because of her, it would be unconscionable to ignore him.
In the hospital room.
An Nuan stood to the side, a little worried, but still spoke softly, “Mr. Shen, thank you so much just now. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid the person lying in this hospital bed would be me.”
Shen Xizhou shook his head and said coldly, “Even if it were a stranger, I would have extended a hand. You don’t need to be so grateful.”
At this moment, Shen Xizhou was being stubborn.
Heh, even if it were a stranger, he would have helped. Such words, once spoken, probably wouldn’t even be believed by himself.
However, looking at him, it seemed he was fine.
Since he was alright, An Nuan decided to leave.
“Young Master Shen, are you alright?” Yan Bai was at the company when he received a call from Shen Xizhou saying he was in the hospital and reportedly quite seriously injured. He was instantly distraught.
Just going out for some fresh air could land him in the hospital.
Yan Bai felt that Shen Xizhou wasn't seeking fresh air, but risking his life.
However, upon learning of the circumstances, Yan Bai felt that Young Master Shen was now willing to risk his life for An Nuan. To have only ended up in the hospital was truly showing leniency towards himself.
As Shen Xizhou tried to speak, he suddenly felt unwell. At this moment, Yan Bai quickly called for a doctor.
The doctor's words made Yan Bai's expression even more grim.
“This… what do we do? If something happens…”
Yan Bai was worried. He really hadn't expected things to be so serious, and at this moment, he felt helpless.
Shen Xizhou spoke, “Don’t tell anyone about this matter.”
“But, if Miss An were to know about such a thing, perhaps she might change her mind…”
Shen Xizhou recalled An Nuan’s expression from earlier and said coldly, “There must be no news outside about what happened today. She is already very happy now, and I don’t want to disturb her.”
Yan Bai sighed helplessly. He truly lived up to the saying of doing good deeds without leaving a name.
It was just that if it were someone else who had an accident today, Young Master Shen probably wouldn’t even spare them a glance.
…
Xu Ruowei clenched her fists tightly, like a madwoman smashing everything in the room.
She had schemed so much, done so many things, and now? An Nuan was unharmed.
Shen Xizhou was injured.
Shen Xizhou had truly risked his life to save An Nuan.
For An Nuan, he truly disregarded his own life.
Had he not considered that he would be putting himself in danger?
Xu Ruowei gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with crimson light. She had almost succeeded, but because of Shen Xizhou's appearance, all her plans were disrupted.
With such an accident this time, it would not be so easy to scheme against An Nuan next time.
At this moment, she was filled with hatred and gnashed her teeth.
But even so, what had happened had happened. No amount of regret could change it. She could only wait for the next opportunity.
She thought that no matter how well Nangong Jin protected An Nuan, there would be opportunities later on, it was just a matter of time.
Xu Ruowei calmed her emotions.
She dressed herself up and looked at her reflection in the mirror, a smile curling the corners of her lips.
Arriving at the hospital, in the ward.
Upon seeing Shen Xizhou, Xu Ruowei threw herself into Shen Xizhou’s arms without a second thought, crying as if she were about to faint. “Xizhou, where does it hurt? Tell me. Xizhou, how could something like this happen? Xizhou, I’m so worried about you.”
But Shen Xizhou never even gave Xu Ruowei a glance from beginning to end.
