All eyes fell on Nangong Jin.
Huo Yuxuan, startled by Nangong Jin's sudden appearance, thought back to when he had asked Nangong Jin about his whereabouts and was told he was abroad. How could he be here less than half a day later?
Uh… this…
Huo Yuxuan couldn't hold it in any longer.
What to do? The thing he had always worried about had happened.
"This matter…"
"Young Master Nangong." The woman's eyes were filled with infatuation. She had thought Huo Yuxuan was already great. She never expected Nangong Jin to appear here.
This was a good opportunity to get to know Nangong Jin.
The woman who had just been kicked away seemed to have forgotten that Nangong Jin was the one who kicked her.
She got up as if nothing had happened and tidied herself.
She looked at Nangong Jin with pitiful eyes, only to find that Nangong Jin's gaze was fixed on An Nuan. Resentment filled her eyes.
Her hands clenched tighter, growing more unwilling.
She looked at An Nuan and said, "Let's forget about this. You can leave."
"I won't make things difficult for you either."
She was afraid that if An Nuan stayed, she would steal everyone's attention.
She was too attractive.
Seeing that An Nuan wasn't leaving, she became a little angry. She walked over to An Nuan and said mockingly, "You're still not leaving. You don't think Nangong Jin is here because of you, do you? Look in the mirror and see what you look like."
"You're so ugly and yet you have the nerve to stand here. I admire your courage."
By this time, Huo Yuxuan had already distanced himself from that woman. He truly didn't want anything to do with her anymore.
This person was truly an idiot.
It was his bad luck to have known her.
However, she was really set on Nangong Jin. She had distanced herself from Huo Yuxuan in front of Nangong Jin. But that was what Huo Yuxuan wanted.
This way, he could stay out of it.
Thinking about it, it was wonderful.
"Who did this?" Nangong Jin's gaze fell on the fair skin of An Nuan's wrist, where there were red marks that looked exceptionally jarring. She had been fine when she went out. How could she be "injured" like this in such a short time?
The man exuded a terrifying aura that made it difficult to breathe.
The woman, however, kept looking at Nangong Jin, her fawning gaze already eloquent.
She thought that this man must be asking her. After all, she was attractive.
And An Nuan, she thought, couldn't possibly know such a noble man as Nangong Jin.
A man like this should belong to her.
The more she thought about it, the better she felt.
Her eyes shone, and she looked at Nangong Jin, fawningly saying, "Young Master Nangong, I have already handled this matter."
"It's truly a pleasure to see you," the woman said, reaching out to shake Nangong Jin's hand.
She was incredibly excited, thinking to herself that if she could shake hands with Nangong Jin, she would truly be able to walk sideways from now on.
Many people would surely curry favor with her.
Then, whatever she wanted would be a simple request.
A gleam flashed in An Nuan's eyes. Suddenly, thinking of something, she walked to Nangong Jin's side and, without any warning, directly linked her arm with his.
Nangong Jin froze, looking at An Nuan with a foolish smile, as if he weren't very bright.
The woman who had been trying to fawn over Nangong Jin saw An Nuan's hand and her eyes turned murderous.
She stepped forward and fiercely pulled An Nuan's hand away.
"How can you be so shameless?"
"Nangong Jin is my man. Who are you? How dare you link arms with him?"
An Nuan: "..."
Nangong Jin: "..."
Huo Yuxuan: "..."
Such explosive news was truly unexpected.
"Who are you? Who gave you permission to do this?" Nangong Jin looked coldly at the woman, as if he could kill her with his eyes.
The woman's face instantly turned pale. What was going on?
Did An Nuan and Nangong Jin know each other?
No, it was impossible.
There was no news of it, how could it be possible?
She didn't believe it.
Unwilling to give up, she looked at Nangong Jin and said, "Mr. Nangong, I am Huang Li from the Huang family."
"We've met before, have you forgotten?"
Huang Li said anxiously.
Actually, she had only stolen a glance at him, but she didn't expect to see him so close today. She wanted to seize this opportunity.
But reality seemed to not allow her to do so.
Nangong Jin hit her for the sake of another woman.
"Huang Li, is it?" Nangong Jin said icily.
Hearing Nangong Jin say Huang Li, Huang Li immediately nodded, her face full of smiles.
Her heart was pounding with excitement. Had he remembered her existence?
That would be truly wonderful.
"Young Master Nangong, my family also has a partnership with you, it's the Huang family that just signed the contract yesterday, I..." Huang Li was so excited that she was almost incoherent. She kept talking desperately, trying to impress Nangong Jin.
Nangong Jin glanced at Huo Yuxuan and said coldly, "Terminate the cooperation with the Huang family. Tomorrow, I don't want to see any information about the Huang family."
Huo Yuxuan had seen stupid people, but he had never seen anyone so stupid.
She had practically offered her family's downfall on a silver platter, saving them the trouble of even investigating.
Huo Yuxuan didn't dare to delay. He handled the matter quickly.
Huang Li was still in shock. She had always thought that all of this was fake, not real.
Huang Li's phone rang. Upon hearing the furious voice on the other end, her whole body went limp, her face lost all color, and she smashed the phone onto the ground.
It was true. Everything was true.
The Huang family was gone.
The Huang family, which she had always been proud of, was ruined.
Ruined by a single phone call from the man in front of her.
Huang Li was eventually taken away. She tried to struggle but couldn't break free.
An Nuan looked at Nangong Jin, full of gratitude.
"Nangong..." she looked at Nangong Jin, her voice laced with guilt.
He had done so much for her, yet what could she do for him? She couldn't give him any reply.
Nangong Jin feigned a relaxed expression and looked at An Nuan. He reached out and gently stroked her hair, saying with a light laugh, "If you really want to thank me, then cook me a meal yourself." His voice was filled with deep affection.
An Nuan: "..."
She looked at the person in front of her with some confusion.
Was it that simple?
What didn't he, Nangong Jin, have? Yet he made such a simple request.
"Is it very difficult?" Nangong Jin saw An Nuan frowning and felt a pang of heartache. "Alright, never mind. I was joking."
"You don't have to be so troubled," Nangong Jin said casually.
An Nuan shook her head and immediately said, "No, it's not. I'm willing."
His request was not unreasonable. How could she refuse?
