She Lan Club.
An Nuan worked inside.
And An Nuan was heading to a private room at this moment. It was the people inside who had notified her to go.
She had no choice but to go.
If she wanted to leave this place, she could have said so to the Ye family and left.
However, many things had changed because of her. She didn't want more people to get hurt because of her.
The Ye family could find ways to save her and take her away from here. But now the Ye family was being watched by Shen Xizhou, and he would strike as soon as they made any move.
At this point, if she asked the Ye family for help, they would only be dragged down by her.
And she didn't want to be a sinner herself.
She had once promised Ye family's parents that she would definitely avenge Ye Qingcheng and Ye Qianyi.
She was determined to stay here, solely to fulfill her duty.
She knew that in the private room, some conspiracy was surely waiting for her. It was always like this, she was already used to it.
However, she didn't know who would be the one to make things difficult for her this time.
An Nuan took a deep breath, steadying her breathing, constantly reminding herself that no matter what she saw later, she must not get angry. She could only watch quietly.
Whatever the people inside wanted her to do, she would do it. She would absolutely not say anything more.
She pushed the door open.
An Nuan kept her head down, not looking up. She just needed to be obedient and bring the wine. As for other things, they had nothing to do with her.
At this moment, she prayed that there would be no accidents, and she could get through it safely.
But heaven seemed to have not heard her heartfelt plea at all. Whatever she feared and worried about, that was precisely what happened.
"Wen Yun, I just want An Nuan to come and serve me, will you agree to it?"
"Wen Yun, this is me begging you. If you don't agree, aren't you afraid I'll be sad?"
Ji Wen Yun was slightly stunned. He looked at An Nuan standing before him, his eyes full of shock.
Upon hearing Xia Wanqing's voice, Shen Xizhou also looked up at An Nuan. Seeing the clothes she was wearing, which accentuated her figure, he was filled with anger. Was she so eager to show off her body to other men?
And her pitiful appearance, her alluring gaze, who were they for?
His gaze fell on An Nuan again. Seeing her lowering her head in "shyness," Shen Xizhou's anger was about to erupt.
Was she so eager to seduce Ji Wen Yun?
At this moment, Xia Wanqing, who was standing by the side, also noticed that Ji Wen Yun was acting differently. He hadn't even reached out to support her when she almost fell.
An Nuan's appearance indeed meant something very different to Ji Wen Yun.
Xia Wanqing clasped Ji Wen Yun's arm again, pulling him forcefully, trying to draw Ji Wen Yun's gaze back to herself. She absolutely would not allow Ji Wen Yun's eyes to fall on An Nuan.
She regretted it. Before, she had felt pity for An Nuan and even thought of helping her.
Looking back now, she truly felt how laughable her thoughts were.
The seed of resentment was once again planted in Xia Wanqing's heart.
Xia Wanqing's gaze towards An Nuan no longer held the former pity. In her eyes, An Nuan should just die.
Xu Ruowei was right.
But she also knew that many of Xu Ruowei's actions were for her own benefit, and she had never considered Xia Wanqing's feelings.
Now, she had also figured it out. The only person she could rely on now was herself.
She tugged at Ji Wen Yun's hand and said coquettishly, "Wen Yun, in the past, you would agree to anything I wanted to do. Now you've changed, you're not like before."
"Wen Yun, did something happen? Do you think I..."
Xia Wanqing did not finish her sentence, but stopped abruptly.
However, the more she did this, the more it made people speculate.
"Wen Yun, if this makes things difficult for you, then forget it," Xia Wanqing said with a sense of disappointment. "It's not like I absolutely have to."
Xia Wanqing employed a strategy of retreating to advance. She said it deliberately, intending to make Ji Wen Yun feel guilty.
Under Xia Wanqing's gaze, Ji Wen Yun suddenly seemed to wake up.
He seemed to remember why he had come here.
His gaze towards An Nuan instantly turned cold, and he said icily, "An Nuan, did you hear that? Kneel down and serve."
"If you serve well, the tip will not be lacking."
"However, if you displease Wanqing, then you can expect punishment," Ji Wen Yun said menacingly, his eyes filled with ferocity.
An Nuan looked up, listening calmly to Ji Wen Yun's words.
This man before her was truly different from the man she had met that day.
He said he remembered everything. At that time, she had almost believed him. But this person before her was constantly implying that those were just her illusions. Those words, those events, had never happened.
She felt somewhat fortunate that she hadn't lost her mind and believed his words back then.
An Nuan looked at Ji Wen Yun but said indifferently, "Mr. Ji, I am working here. I am only responsible for delivering wine. Other 'services' are not part of my duties."
"If Mr. Ji really needs something, you can find someone else."
"Oh, and by the way, your fiancée needs someone to serve her. You should find someone else, not me."
After speaking, An Nuan put down the wine bottle and turned to leave.
She didn't want to stay here.
Everyone here made her feel suffocated.
However, as An Nuan stepped forward, Ji Wen Yun and Xia Wanqing blocked her path.
Ji Wen Yun directly grabbed her hand, closed the door of the private room, and then, with a bone-chilling gaze, looked at An Nuan and said fiercely, "An Nuan, whether this is your duty or not, since Wanqing wants you to serve, then you should obediently comply."
"You... do not have the right to refuse."
Upon hearing this, Xia Wanqing's eyes were filled with a triumphant smile. She looked at An Nuan provocatively, but ultimately restrained herself somewhat, as Ji Wen Yun was present, and she dared not make too much of a scene.
"Wen Yun, actually, if An Nuan is unwilling, then let it be,"
"After all, I am insignificant, and it's normal for her not to want to serve me."
"If it were you, perhaps the outcome would be different," Xia Wanqing said somewhat sarcastically.
"Wanqing, this matter is not your fault," Ji Wen Yun said with great affection. "If there is any fault, it is An Nuan's fault. You are not wrong at all."
Ji Wen Yun held Xia Wanqing in his arms and said dotingly, "Wanqing, with me here, I will not let you be wronged."
