Yes, she had been struggling with what?
Nangong Jin, for her, didn't even care about the present.
So, why didn't she try to accept him?
"An Nuan." Nangong Jin was a little excited. Was An Nuan willing to give him a chance?
This was the best chance heaven had given him.
"Mmm-hmm, can we leave here first? It's so desolate, it's really a bit creepy. Can you two go back and talk about love?"
Nangong Jin glared fiercely at Huo Yuxuan.
Huo Yuxuan, not fearing death, continued, "If you want to date, go back and do it. Is it appropriate for me, a single dog, to be in front of you?"
"Are you trying to kill me?"
An Nuan's face instantly turned red. She quickly pushed Nangong Jin away.
She had only been thinking about Nangong Jin, about whether he was alright, and had completely forgotten that many people were watching.
...
An Nuan received a call from Nangong Jin early in the morning. He said he had forgotten to bring a document and asked her to deliver it to the company.
Normally, Huo Yuxuan would do these things. Why was he asking her today?
She happened to be staying in the guest room at Nangong Jin's house, so she agreed.
Perhaps Huo Yuxuan had something important to attend to, and Nangong Jin asked her to come.
When An Nuan arrived at Nangong Jin's company, she saw Huo Yuxuan.
She thought Huo Yuxuan wasn't at the company, but she didn't expect him to be there.
She handed the document directly to Huo Yuxuan, "This is the document Nangong Jin needs. Take it up."
Because she felt many eyes on her, if she hadn't been holding the document, she would have left immediately.
To deliver the document to Nangong Jin, she had no choice but to walk in under their gazes.
As she walked past the front desk, she was stopped. She was asked if she had an appointment, and An Nuan's mind went blank. As she took out her phone to call Nangong Jin, she heard the receptionist's sarcastic tone.
Receptionist: "Heh, we've seen many people like you who just want to curry favor with Mr. Nangong."
Receptionist 2: "Exactly, she doesn't even look at herself."
An Nuan heard all sorts of unpleasant remarks. However, she didn't argue with them.
At this moment, she saw Huo Yuxuan and waved to him. Huo Yuxuan walked over. The receptionists, who had been chattering non-stop, finally shut up.
Huo Yuxuan saw An Nuan's displeased expression and then looked at the receptionists. He guessed that something bad had happened.
As Huo Yuxuan was about to understand what had happened, the two receptionists impatiently said, "Assistant Huo, this woman actually wants to see Mr. Nangong."
"She even said she knows Mr. Nangong and wanted to call him."
"And then?" Huo Yuxuan listened to them with a smile on his face.
Hearing Huo Yuxuan's question, the two receptionists became even more animated.
"Of course, we stopped her."
"Heh, she doesn't even look at herself. How could Mr. Nangong possibly be interested in someone like her?"
"Exactly, it's just wishful thinking."
Huo Yuxuan looked coldly at the two women and said indifferently, "You don't have to come tomorrow."
The two women were stunned. "Assistant Huo, how can you fire us? We haven't done anything wrong."
Huo Yuxuan said coldly, "This is the future Mrs. President, and you were disrespectful to the President. Do you know what you did wrong?"
The two women dared not say another word.
An Nuan looked at Huo Yuxuan and said sheepishly, "Actually, it's nothing, it's me..."
"Miss An, please. Mr. Nangong has arranged a banquet, and I'm responsible for taking you to get dressed up."
An Nuan looked at Huo Yuxuan, then at the document in her hand, "Wasn't I supposed to deliver a document? Why is it..."
A banquet?
Nangong Jin hadn't mentioned it to her.
Huo Yuxuan handed the document to someone nearby.
"Please, Miss An."
An Nuan had many doubts but didn't voice them. She followed Huo Yuxuan.
She figured it was all arranged by Nangong Jin. If so, she would go along with his plan.
The banquet.
An Nuan appeared at the banquet in a haute couture gown. Huo Yuxuan had escorted her all the way.
The moment Huo Yuxuan pushed open the door, she saw Nangong Jin in a suit, looking incredibly handsome. Under the spotlight, he walked towards her step by step, took her hand, and led her towards the center of the banquet.
An Nuan felt a bit dazed, even not knowing what was happening.
She could only follow Nangong Jin.
At the center of the stage, Nangong Jin stopped. An Nuan, walking too fast by accident, couldn't stop and her head bumped into him.
Nangong Jin was heartbroken. He carefully caressed her reddened forehead.
He felt a little guilty. He was too happy and didn't notice he was moving too fast, causing An Nuan to get hurt.
"Nuannuan, I'm sorry, I..."
An Nuan shook her head. "It's fine."
Nangong Jin stood at the center of the stage, took the microphone, and announced loudly, "I have something to announce to everyone. The person by my side is the love of my life, my girlfriend, and will be my wife in the future."
"I was so happy that I wanted to share it with everyone."
"Today's banquet is to let everyone know that An Nuan is my girlfriend."
Under the spotlight, all eyes were on her.
An Nuan was extremely nervous, her hands trembling. After a long while, she mustered up the courage and said, "Mr. Nangong, for the rest of my life, please guide me."
"I will do my best to be the kind of girlfriend I should be."
Nangong Jin was stunned. He looked at An Nuan in surprise. He thought An Nuan would continue to refuse him. But to his surprise, An Nuan agreed.
He was too excited, so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Nangong Jin's face was full of smiles. At this moment, he seemed a little clumsy.
After a long while, he reacted. He held An Nuan's hand tightly and said excitedly, "Nuannuan, I will protect you, even if it costs me my life. Thank you for giving me this chance."
"Nangong Jin, no, I don't want your life. I just want you to live well."
An Nuan said seriously, "I hope we can be together for a long, long time."
"Yes, we definitely will."
Nangong Jin pulled An Nuan into his arms. He was truly too happy.
An Nuan's hands pushed against Nangong Jin's chest, wanting to push him away, thinking about maintaining some distance. After all, it was a banquet, and so many people were watching.
Nangong Jin saw the person in his arms staring at him. He was reluctant to let go, but fearing that he would anger the person in his arms, he had no choice but to release her. Just as An Nuan let out a sigh of relief, he tightly grasped her hand.
Although he couldn't hug her, he could still hold her hand.
