An Nuan didn't answer his question, why it was like this.
An Nuan, tell me.
What could she tell him?
Tell him that it was all Xu Ruowei's fault?
But would he believe it?
He certainly wouldn't believe it; he would only think that she was framing Xu Ruowei again. She had been through too much of this, so much that she no longer wanted to defend herself.
No matter what she said in her defense, he wouldn't believe her, so why should she waste her time?
She looked ahead with a dejected and listless gaze, unwilling to pay attention to the person beside her.
Her entire being was like a rose on the verge of wilting.
Disappear...
Shen Xizhou's heart suddenly trembled, and he shivered all over.
He placed his hand under An Nuan's nose and felt her breath, finally feeling completely at ease.
So, she still had breath; she was still alive.
He remembered that in the past, whenever he questioned her, she would desperately try to explain, her eyes full of hope.
At this moment, he wished the person before him would explain hysterically, go mad trying to explain. But the current An Nuan did not.
Had she changed? He felt that the person before him was distant, elusive.
Suddenly, he began to look at An Nuan carefully. He reached out and firmly grasped her hand. Her once fair and delicate hand had become rough, calloused. Her originally rosy and fair skin had also become coarse.
In the past, no matter what happened, her gaze was always fixed on him. But now, she had lost it.
The reason she could appear before him was for Zhou Chumuo and Ye Qingcheng. If it weren't for them, she probably wouldn't have shown her face to him even in death.
He felt a pang of pity, along with a sense of panic and nervousness. However, he didn't notice this change in himself at all. Instead, he fixed his gaze on An Nuan and said with a slight tremor in his voice, "An Nuan, what exactly is going on? These past few days, what has happened? Do you have some unspeakable secret?"
"An Nuan, tell me, who caused your illness?"
"Who used such venomous means against you? Tell me." Shen Xizhou almost roared in a frenzied state.
An Nuan looked at the person before her, her eyes filled with sarcasm. "If I tell you, will you believe me? If I tell you, will you stand up and avenge me? If I tell you, will you go and confront that person?"
These continuous questions left Shen Xizhou speechless, looking at An Nuan.
He had never imagined that she would question him so loudly.
Her anger was clearly displayed.
An Nuan had been cold all this time, but at this moment, she was angrily questioning him. For some reason, he felt a hint of joy at this An Nuan.
His eyes held a hint of tenderness, a tenderness that he himself did not realize.
He knew very well that An Nuan was likely very angry at this moment, which was why she was like this.
She had always been cold to him lately.
His hand fell on her forehead, brushing aside her hair. An Nuan instinctively tried to dodge, but Shen Xizhou directly pulled her into his embrace.
An Nuan wanted to break free but couldn't. In the end, she gave up.
She suddenly let out a self-mocking laugh. What was there to worry about?
Shen Xizhou hated her to the bone; he wouldn't harm her in any way. Even if he did, he wouldn't take her life. In fact, it would have been better if he had wanted to take her life.
Shen Xizhou's hand finally landed gently on her forehead, and he said with a face full of tenderness, "An Nuan, what happened? Why is there such a big scar on your forehead?"
He caressed her forehead, his face full of distress.
An Nuan scoffed. He actually asked her how she got the scar on her forehead.
Didn't he find it amusing?
He truly had a poor memory.
An Nuan's gaze fell on Shen Xizhou, her eyes filled with coldness. She said icily, "Mr. Shen, you seem to have forgotten that this scar on my forehead was caused by you. And now you're asking me how I got it? Don't you find it hilarious?"
Her tone was extremely cold as she spoke, chilling to the bone.
Shen Xizhou looked at An Nuan furiously. He gripped her hand tightly, forcing her to look at him, and said violently, "What did you say?"
He kept looking at An Nuan, but she remained silent, only smiling coldly, an extremely eerie smile.
He grabbed An Nuan's shoulders and shook her, gritting his teeth and saying, "Speak, I told you to speak, do you hear me?"
An Nuan's lips curved into a slight smile, and she replied somewhat numbly, "I hear you, Mr. Shen."
"Does Mr. Shen remember that day when Xu Ruowei claimed I was trying to kill her?"
"You kicked me directly."
"My forehead happened to hit the chair, and I was injured."
"Zhou Chumuo wanted to treat me, but you pressured him, preventing him from treating my wounds."
An Nuan scoffed coldly and said, "Mr. Shen, I'm afraid you have a poor memory and have already forgotten."
"Also, Mr. Shen now has Xu Ruowei; how could he still remember me?"
Shen Xizhou looked at An Nuan furiously, "Shut up, shut up for me."
Facing the man's anger, An Nuan remained exceptionally calm. "Mr. Shen, what's wrong? You're the one who asked me to speak, and now that I've spoken, you're getting angry."
"I've also explained, but you don't believe me."
"Mr. Shen, what exactly do you want me to do?"
"An Nuan..."
The words on Shen Xizhou's lips refused to come out.
Ye Qianyi had originally intended to look for An Nuan.
But she couldn't find An Nuan. She searched for a long time before learning that An Nuan had been taken away by Shen Xizhou, and more importantly, that An Nuan was now in the hospital.
What had Shen Xizhou done to An Nuan to make her end up in the hospital?
What did he want from An Nuan before he would let her go?
Ye Qianyi dared not delay any longer and immediately rushed to the hospital.
Seeing Shen Xizhou tightly gripping An Nuan's shoulder and roaring at An Nuan, she was extremely worried. She couldn't care about anything else anymore and rushed over, pushing Shen Xizhou aside, shielding An Nuan behind her. She looked at An Nuan with great concern and said, "An Nuan, are you okay?"
"An Nuan, I'm sorry I'm late. It's my fault..."
Seeing Ye Qianyi, An Nuan's previously icy gaze softened slightly. She looked at Ye Qianyi, her eyes full of worry and urgency, and said, "Sister Ye, why are you here? Hurry, go, go!"
She looked warily at Shen Xizhou.
It was fine whatever Shen Xizhou did to her. However, she didn't want Ye Qianyi to be dragged into this because of her.
