"Oh, right," Ye Qingcheng seemed to recall something and stared intently at Shen Xizhou, saying, "What have you done for An Nuan? And from what position are you speaking to me like this?"
"I will use all my sincerity to move An Nuan. Even if An Nuan and I don't end up together, I believe I will have a place in her heart."
A place in her heart?
Now, Ye Qingcheng claims An Nuan is his girlfriend. Did An Nuan agree?
It's true, Ye Qingcheng has looks and money, practically the man every woman wants to marry. How could someone as greedy as An Nuan not accept Ye Qingcheng?
Yes, it must be.
Shen Xizhou's eyes were filled with a chilling glint. He looked at Ye Qingcheng and said with ferocity, "If you insist on going your own way, then don't come to me when you regret it."
Ye Qingcheng ignored Shen Xizhou, truly not hearing a word of what he was saying.
He didn't understand why Shen Xizhou kept harping on about An Nuan.
Even if they were married before, they had been together. Wouldn't it be better to part amicably? Would he only be happy by slandering An Nuan like this?
An Nuan sat aside, saying nothing.
She didn't want to get involved.
Ye Qingcheng finished bandaging her wound. An Nuan was about to get up, but for some reason, Ye Qingcheng suddenly picked her up, startling her.
"An Nuan, believe me, everything I say is true. I will make you happy for the rest of your life."
Ye Qingcheng glanced at the hand he had just bandaged, his expression one of distress and self-reproach. "I was too happy just now and touched your hand. Are you alright?"
As if remembering something, he picked up his phone and began giving instructions.
"Nuan Nuan, I'm planning to find you a new place to live. I'll take you there."
Saying this, Ye Qingcheng made to lead her out. At this moment, he noticed An Nuan standing still, seemingly lost in thought.
Ye Qingcheng seemed to see through her thoughts and said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, I've already gotten leave from Manager Xu."
An Nuan looked up, her eyes filled with worry.
"Don't worry, this is considered a work injury, so your salary won't be deducted. The hotel will also give you a nutrition subsidy."
An Nuan looked at Ye Qingcheng in surprise. She hadn't expected him to know what she was worried about.
He really understood her.
All her thoughts were exposed to Ye Qingcheng.
Or was Ye Qingcheng just extremely observant?
"Dr. Ye, you've helped me a lot. However, I already have a place to stay, so I don't need your help anymore," An Nuan said firmly.
Although she desperately wanted to leave there, Yun Xiu knew where she was. She couldn't leave. What if Yun Xiu came looking for her and she wasn't there?
Ye Qingcheng paused slightly, surprised by An Nuan's refusal. However, he quickly regained his composure, maintaining his gentle and refined smile, and said calmly, "I'm used to living there."
"Won't you reconsider?" Ye Qingcheng was still persistent. He knew that place was given to her by Shen Xizhou.
He wanted to erase Shen Xizhou from An Nuan's world entirely.
"Is it because of your brother?" Ye Qingcheng finally voiced the question that was troubling him.
An Nuan hesitated for a moment. She looked at Ye Qingcheng in surprise, completely taken aback that he knew about this. However, since he did, so be it.
She nodded, "Yes. So, I cannot leave there."
Ye Qingcheng's carefully prepared words were swallowed back at this moment.
He knew very well how important An Yun Xiu was to An Nuan.
"Then, when you decide to leave, can you remember me?" Ye Qingcheng's voice held a hint of anticipation.
How he wished to hear the answer he longed for.
Shen Xizhou, standing nearby, heard Ye Qingcheng's words clearly. His attention was drawn to An Nuan, and his expression darkened. She truly understood 'playing hard to get,' and she had Shen Xizhou completely in her grasp.
And Ye Qingcheng was willingly letting himself be manipulated. It was utterly absurd.
What was he doing? He was deliberately delaying his actions, just to hear this scheming woman's reply?
Xizhou, in this lifetime, I only love you, I only live in your house, my heart and eyes are only for you.
An Nuan's voice was beautiful, and when she spoke these words shyly and passionately, his heart would tremble with them.
Shen Xizhou's eyes were bloodshot, his gaze like a predator fixed on An Nuan.
But now she was speaking to Ye Qingcheng with the same beautiful voice.
If it weren't for the entanglement with An Yun Xiu, perhaps she would have agreed.
Was it true, as Ye Qingcheng said, that she had already agreed to be his girlfriend?
Thinking that everything good that originally belonged to him was about to be snatched away, he could no longer remain calm. His gaze fell upon An Nuan, and seeing her lowering her head shyly, his reason vanished. He walked up to An Nuan, grabbed her chin, and forced her to look at him.
"An Nuan, you're so dirty. Is it that any man who gives you money, or has some use for you, you can shamelessly, without regard, try to please?"
"Since you're so desperate for men, then I'll find you a good place." Shen Xizhou was consumed by malice. He directly grabbed An Nuan's hand and pulled her outside.
At this moment, he didn't want anyone else to see An Nuan's beauty. This beauty could only belong to him alone.
"Xizhou..."
Xu Ruowei, standing nearby, had been waiting for Shen Xizhou. Just now, when Shen Xizhou grabbed An Nuan's chin and spoke those humiliating words, she felt happy. She thought Shen Xizhou was avenging her.
But the moment Shen Xizhou dragged An Nuan away, she completely panicked.
Because she saw that An Nuan was still, at every moment, stirring Shen Xizhou's emotions. This realization was cruel to her.
"Xizhou, my heart hurts so much..." Xu Ruowei clutched her chest, her face pale.
Shen Xizhou had lost all reason at this point. He acted as if he hadn't heard Xu Ruowei's words.
Xu Ruowei's face was extremely ugly. She hated this scene. In her eyes, it meant Shen Xizhou cared more about An Nuan.
She curled up on the ground, crying out in pain, "Xizhou, I really feel terrible. I can't breathe. Xizhou, am I going to die?"
"Xizhou, Xizhou, it hurts so much..."
"Ruowei."
Shen Xizhou directly threw An Nuan to the corner, picked up Xu Ruowei, and walked out.
In Shen Xizhou's arms, Xu Ruowei secretly glanced at An Nuan. When she was thrown aside, her head hit the wall, and blood flowed from her forehead.
She was extremely smug, her face beaming with a smile.
If only An Nuan would die like this, how wonderful it would be.
