During this time, everyone could be said to have lived a very comfortable life.
Nangong Jin was even more fortunate, spending his days away from the company. He delegated almost all matters to Huo Yuxuan, only intervening when Huo Yuxuan was truly unable to handle them.
Most importantly, after resolving everything, he would simply declare them as useless fools.
One day, Nangong Jin had no choice but to go to the company.
Before leaving, he had repeatedly instructed An Nuan to wait for him at home.
An Nuan nodded in agreement.
However, Nangong Jin still seemed worried. An Nuan then promised that she would stay home all day and not go out. Would that put his mind at ease?
Hearing An Nuan's assurance, Nangong Jin finally relaxed.
But, often, things change. Just like now, everything had completely changed.
An Nuan was at home, preparing to make some small cakes for Nangong Jin, who was busy at the company.
But a phone call made An Nuan put down her work and leave the house immediately. She was in a great hurry. She only grabbed her phone, leaving everything else behind.
An Nuan arrived at the designated spot but did not see Li Tian. Instead, she saw Xu Ruowei.
An Nuan then realized that she had been tricked by Xu Ruowei.
Her eyes filled with a cold light.
She had been deceived by Xu Ruowei.
Upon seeing An Nuan, Xu Ruowei laughed heartily and mockingly said, "An Nuan, ha ha, you're such a fool. I just said it casually, and you fell for it."
"You know what? Actually, I was worried you wouldn't come out. I would have to think of a way to get you out."
"After all, Nangong Jin cherishes you so much now, watching you constantly, unwilling to let go for a moment. I wanted to make a move against you, but I had no opportunity."
Xu Ruowei glared viciously at An Nuan, her eyes full of jealousy. An Nuan looked so much more attractive now than before.
"An Nuan, do you know? Because of you, Shen Xizhou is so unpredictable towards me."
"An Nuan, I'm telling you, Shen Xizhou belongs to me, and you will never have him in this lifetime."
Listening to Xu Ruowei, An Nuan felt no displeasure or specific thoughts. Her primary concern at that moment was Li Tian. She was unsure if Li Tian was actually here.
She had looked everywhere but could not find any trace of Li Tian.
At this moment, she began to suspect that Xu Ruowei might have harmed Li Tian, and that Li Tian had met with misfortune. The more she thought about it, the more troubled An Nuan became.
Her gaze fell on Xu Ruowei, and she asked coldly, "Xu Ruowei, where is Li Tian? What did you do to Li Tian?"
"Heh, I lied to you. Li Tian isn't with me at all."
"Li Tian is being protected by Huo Yuxuan right now. Do you think I could do anything to her?"
Hearing this, she finally felt relieved.
"An Nuan, I wanted you to know that Shen Xizhou belongs to me. You should never think of snatching him away from me. I will never give you that opportunity."
An Nuan's brow furrowed. She said with displeasure, "You've already said these words, and I've also said that I have no feelings for Shen Xizhou."
"If you like Shen Xizhou, then focus your attention on Shen Xizhou."
Xu Ruowei said viciously, "An Nuan, saying these things, you truly have no shame."
"An Nuan, do you know? It's because of you that Shen Xizhou is now extremely indifferent to me. Although he hasn't said anything, all his actions have shown everything."
An Nuan said coldly, "Xu Ruowei, this is your own problem. If you lack the ability, who can you blame?"
An Nuan was utterly disgusted by Xu Ruowei's persistent pestering.
She always felt that she was the one clinging to Shen Xizhou, but the truth was that Shen Xizhou had always been the one pursuing her.
An Nuan looked at Xu Ruowei coldly and said, "Do you know? A few days ago, Shen Xizhou came to find me. He said he had misunderstood me. He asked if we could sit down and talk properly."
"He asked if we could clarify all the misunderstandings."
"He said, 'An Nuan, I definitely misunderstood you.'"
Hearing An Nuan's words, Xu Ruowei clenched her fists, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She shook her head, "No, it's impossible."
"Xizhou wishes you were dead, how could he say such things to you? It must be, you must be lying to me."
"An Nuan, you are truly malicious. You'll say anything to achieve your goals."
"If you don't believe me, you can investigate it yourself. I think such a simple matter should be easy for you to investigate."
Xu Ruowei glared at An Nuan viciously.
She hated even more, hating why Shen Xizhou would go to An Nuan and say such things to her.
"An Nuan, shut up. I don't want to hear anything you say. It's all lies."
An Nuan was not afraid. She looked at Xu Ruowei coldly and said, "By the way, the man you treasure and desperately want to snatch away means nothing to me."
"In fact, I am extremely disgusted by him."
"Xu Ruowei, I wouldn't even look at any man you've touched, because I find them dirty."
"An Nuan."
Xu Ruowei's eyes were filled with terrifying light.
At that moment, Shen Xizhou appeared from who knows where.
Xu Ruowei's face turned pale. She clenched her hands tightly by her side. Why would Shen Xizhou appear here?
How much had he heard?
She was trembling all over, wondering how much Shen Xizhou knew.
"An Nuan."
Shen Xizhou walked in directly. His eyes were bloodshot, staring intently at An Nuan. This woman actually thought he was dirty.
What right did she have?
When he heard that An Nuan had rushed out in a hurry, he was extremely worried. He feared that something bad might happen to her, so he followed.
However, he realized he had lost her.
Naturally, he still found out where she had gone.
But just as he found her, he heard such humiliating words. How could he tolerate it?
"What's wrong? Mr. Shen, are you afraid Xu Ruowei will be bullied by me, so you've come to help?"
"Then I'm afraid Mr. Shen hasn't figured out who is making things difficult for whom," An Nuan said coldly.
"Mr. Shen, watch your own person. Don't be like a mad dog, randomly biting people from time to time."
An Nuan spoke, not wanting to deal with the two of them. She continued walking towards the door.
Actually, she was quite thankful for Shen Xizhou's appearance. With his presence, even if she wanted to leave, Xu Ruowei wouldn't dare to say much.
However, just as she was about to leave, Shen Xizhou blocked her path.
She looked at the man in front of her with confusion.
What did he want?
"An Nuan, do you think I would let you go before clarifying the matter?"
An Nuan frowned, looking at Shen Xizhou. This man seemed more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
