Xu Ruo Wei's face was filled with unwillingness, but she quickly restrained it.
Soon, her face instantly lit up with a smile, and she said, "Xi Zhou, are you encountering any problems at work?"
"You can tell me, and I'll help you figure it out," Xu Ruo Wei said with great gentleness and thoughtfulness.
Shen Xi Zhou looked at Xu Ruo Wei coldly and sneered, "Ruo Wei, leave my side. From now on, there will be no more connection between us."
Xu Ruo Wei's smiling face instantly froze, and her hand remained suspended in mid-air. She was speechless and found no words to respond.
Her face instantly turned pale. She kept looking at Shen Xi Zhou, as if trying to find a clue on his face, trying to figure out what he was thinking.
After a long while, she finally found her voice and looked at Shen Xi Zhou incredulously, saying, "Xi Zhou, are you... are you too tired and haven't rested well, that's why you're saying such nonsense?"
Xu Ruo Wei's lips pulled into a faint, forced smile, and she whispered, "Xi Zhou, I'll pretend you never said those words just now."
"You get some good rest. I'll leave now. I'll come back to see you tomorrow."
As Xu Ruo Wei was in a hurry to leave, Shen Xi Zhou blocked her path.
"Xu Ruo Wei, this matter cannot be avoided."
"From now on, there will be no more connection between us. I will also issue a statement shortly. From now on, we will each live our own lives."
Shen Xi Zhou said coldly, his gaze towards Xu Ruo Wei filled with disgust.
He even wondered how he could have been so foolish to be deceived by her.
And to believe everything she said so completely.
Thinking about it now, he truly felt utterly stupid.
Xu Ruo Wei wanted to yell hysterically at Shen Xi Zhou, but in the end, she restrained herself.
Tears welled up in her eyes, seemingly about to fall at any moment.
Before Shen Xi Zhou could react, Xu Ruo Wei rushed forward, hugged him tightly, buried her head in his embrace, and sobbed, "Xi Zhou, didn't you say you loved me the most? Didn't you say you would protect me forever?"
"What happened? Why are you saying such hurtful words?"
Xu Ruo Wei was already in tears, weeping tragically, "Xi Zhou, can you please not abandon me."
"Without you, I really don't know how I can go on living."
"Xi Zhou, please, please don't leave me, okay?"
"Xu Ruo Wei, no matter what you say, there is no turning back," Shen Xi Zhou said, looking down at the tears Xu Ruo Wei shed, his eyes filled with contempt.
Heh, she was crying. How realistic her tears were. If he hadn't known her true nature, he would have been completely fooled by her.
What Xu Ruo Wei didn't know was that her tearful display, though tragic, looked utterly laughable in Shen Xi Zhou's eyes.
"Xu Ruo Wei, there's no need for me to explain things too clearly. You must leave the Shen family. We will have no further connection."
"No," Xu Ruo Wei shook her head, crying even more pitifully, "Xi Zhou, don't, don't abandon me."
"I really can't live without you."
"Xi Zhou, you know how much I love you. Without you, my life will be utterly dark."
"Xi Zhou, did someone say something to you that made you misunderstand me? You can tell me, I can explain."
"As long as we clear up the misunderstanding between us, then nothing will be a problem anymore."
"Xi Zhou, tell me, just tell me."
"Xu Ruo Wei, don't make me say too much. You know what you've done in your heart."
"There's no point in saying more," Shen Xi Zhou said, coldly shaking off her hand.
At this moment, just thinking that his hand had been touched by Xu Ruo Wei made him feel utterly disgusted.
Xu Ruo Wei was stunned. What did his words mean?
Did he know what she had done?
No, it was impossible. She had been so secretive, Shen Xi Zhou wouldn't know.
Moreover, if Shen Xi Zhou knew, he wouldn't be speaking to her so calmly right now. Shen Xi Zhou would probably want to kill her.
Shen Xi Zhou thought about saying everything, but in the end, he didn't.
"Xu Ruo Wei, I know An Nuan did not betray me."
"I know even more clearly that the one I love in my heart is An Nuan."
Xu Ruo Wei wanted to say more, but when she met Shen Xi Zhou's cold gaze, she felt a sense of fear.
She had seen this side of Shen Xi Zhou before, but that was how Shen Xi Zhou treated An Nuan.
And now, it was happening to her.
She clenched her fists tightly and bit her lip, as if enduring something.
"Xu Ruo Wei, if you don't want things to get too ugly, please leave here immediately. From now on, don't appear before me again."
"I have been benevolent enough to you."
"No..."
Xu Ruo Wei bit her lip tightly, her hands clenched, her whole body trembling. "Xi Zhou, what happened? Tell me, is there something I did wrong? Tell me, and I'll change."
"I'll change immediately, please don't push me away."
"Xi Zhou, have you seen An Nuan?"
"Did An Nuan say something to you that made you treat me like this?"
Xu Ruo Wei began to shout hysterically. She couldn't understand why things had become this way.
Everything was fine yesterday, and within a single day, it had turned into this.
"Xu Ruo Wei, you caused the death of my parents," finally, Shen Xi Zhou said the words coldly. He said coldly, "Xu Ruo Wei, I also know about the other things you have done."
"The reason I haven't acted against you is because you lost the right to be a mother for my sake, and you even ruined your own body for me."
"Xu Ruo Wei, these are what I owe you, and now, I'm repaying you."
Xu Ruo Wei's face instantly changed, turning deathly pale.
He knew everything.
So, he was going back to find An Nuan now, was he?
Now, she was the one being discarded, was she?
If he knew, if he knew that it wasn't her who saved him, if he knew more things, then he wouldn't let her off so easily, would he?
She was unwilling.
She had done so much, and now she was being abandoned by Shen Xi Zhou.
She was already Shen Xi Zhou's fiancée. Why should she make way for An Nuan just because An Nuan had returned?
That's right, she had to use Shen Xi Zhou's pity to make him believe her again.
She couldn't let Shen Xi Zhou leave her side.
Without Shen Xi Zhou, she knew better than anyone how dark her future days would be.
