Just as Ji Wenyun was about to continue speaking, his words were completely interrupted by the appearance of someone.
"Wenyun, you... didn't you say you had important company matters to attend to? Then why are you here?"
"Wenyun..." Xia Wanqing's eyes were brimming with tears, and she reached up to wipe away tears that weren't actually there.
Hearing Xia Wanqing's words, Ji Wenyun's face turned extremely unpleasant.
He wondered why Xia Wanqing had appeared here.
Seeing that Ji Wenyun remained silent, Xia Wanqing became anxious. She suddenly realized that perhaps she had appeared at the wrong time.
That's right, An Nuan was still here, so some things were naturally not suitable to be said at this moment.
She thought, with An Nuan here, certain words were naturally unsuitable to be spoken. Her eyes were full of calculation.
"Wenyun, I didn't expect us to be so in sync." Xia Wanqing said with a triumphant smile. As she spoke, she deliberately looked at An Nuan, speaking with pride and provocation.
"When I learned that An Nuan was hospitalized, I was extremely worried. I didn't think much of it and came straight here."
In fact, Xia Wanqing had come here intending to cause trouble for An Nuan. She had already made her plans.
However, the moment she saw Ji Wenyun, she panicked. But she quickly came up with a plan.
Yet, Ji Wenyun had not answered her question, and her expression became extremely displeased.
She clenched her fists tightly, wondering: had Ji Wenyun remembered everything? Did he know everything?
No, she absolutely couldn't let him know. If he knew, then what would she do?
Ji Wenyun was now the only person she could hold onto.
If she lost Ji Wenyun, what would she do in the days to come?
She would truly be isolated.
Xia Wanqing kept staring at Ji Wenyun, her heart filled with fear. Finally, she spoke, "Wenyun, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Is it because I shouldn't have appeared here? Or did you hear some bad things about me?"
"Wanqing, why are you here?"
Hearing Ji Wenyun's words, the heart that had been suspended in mid-air finally relaxed.
She thought Ji Wenyun knew everything, but he didn't.
That was good.
Thinking this, Xia Wanqing's smile grew even wider.
However, she noticed that Ji Wenyun's gaze seemed strange when he spoke to her. The Ji Wenyun she knew was not like this.
"I was just concerned about An Nuan," Xia Wanqing said somewhat unnaturally.
Her gaze remained on Ji Wenyun, and she asked softly, "And you? Why are you here?"
"Actually, if you wanted to see An Nuan, you could have just told me directly. There really was no need to be so cautious."
"Ji Wenyun, I'm not someone who overthinks things."
"I absolutely support you visiting An Nuan."
"Heh, is that so? Do you really absolutely support it?"
"Are you sincerely here to see An Nuan? You know better than anyone that An Nuan is like this now because of you. Yet, you can say these words so calmly. Xia Wanqing, do you really think I don't know what you've done?"
"That's right, I've remembered everything," Ji Wenyun said coldly, his eyes fixed on Xia Wanqing, as if observing her every move.
He wanted to see what her reaction would be after knowing all of this.
Xia Wanqing trembled all over and staggered backward, her face instantly turning pale.
So, he knew everything. No wonder his gaze was so cold just now.
She stumbled backward and fell directly to the ground.
What should she do? What should she do next?
Her last pillar of support was gone. She couldn't rely on the Xia family either.
She wondered when Ji Wenyun had remembered.
Xia Wanqing leaned against the side, looking at Ji Wenyun, and asked softly, "Wenyun, when did you remember? Why didn't you say anything?"
"Wenyun, are you blaming me? Blaming me for lying to you?"
"But Wenyun, I love you too much, that's why..."
"If I didn't love you, I wouldn't have done these things."
"Wenyun, for you, I would even give up my own life."
Xia Wanqing regretted it. She regretted why she had appeared here now.
Why couldn't she have handled all the matters first?
If she had known about this beforehand, she could have prepared earlier.
An Nuan was injured and in the hospital. She thought maliciously, why didn't An Nuan just disappear? If An Nuan had died, perhaps all of this wouldn't have happened now.
"Wenyun, if you think I'm wicked, then I'll leave now."
"But, Wenyun, I truly love you, I like you."
"Love?"
Hearing this, Ji Wenyun found it somewhat laughable.
So, her love was truly quite cheap. It had harmed so many people, and she had deceived him.
Everything she had done was probably for herself, yet she could speak so righteously.
"Xia Wanqing, your love is truly unique."
"Wenyun, I..." Xia Wanqing wanted to explain.
Ji Wenyun glanced at Xia Wanqing and said coldly, "Wanqing, you should go back first. We can talk about your and my matters later, alright?"
Xia Wanqing was unwilling, but in the end, she nodded and agreed.
At this point, she had no choice but to retreat.
This also gave her time to think carefully about how to deal with the upcoming situation.
Xia Wanqing left.
Ji Wenyun glanced at An Nuan and said with an apologetic tone, "An Nuan, I'm sorry. I don't know why she suddenly appeared here."
"An Nuan, it's all my fault. Because of me, Xia Wanqing targeted you, causing you so much trouble, causing her to trouble you, causing her to deal with you."
Listening, An Nuan's lips curved into a faint smile.
"Mmm, I understand. You had no choice in those matters."
"But it's all in the past now."
Just as Ji Wenyun was about to say more, Nangong Jin appeared and directly pulled Ji Wenyun away.
"Ji Wenyun, get out of here immediately."
"It's all your fault that An Nuan became like this."
For the first time, Ji Wenyun did not argue with Nangong Jin's words.
Because he knew very well that Nangong Jin was right. Indeed, it was all his fault.
Because of him, An Nuan had become this way.
"Nangong Jin, I've remembered everything from the past. Please, can you give An Nuan back to me?"
"I'll do anything you ask," Ji Wenyun said, lowering his head and pleading.
