"If my answer doesn't satisfy Mr. Shen, then Mr. Shen won't easily let me off."
"If I say that Xu Ruowei arranged everything and did everything, then Mr. Shen definitely won't believe me, and will even want to kill me."
"After all, what I say, in your eyes, is all slander against Xu Ruowei."
"Shen Xizhou, I loved you very much before, so much that I would even give up my life. I used to beg you humbly because I loved you."
"But now I don't love you anymore. So, I'm not willing to explain now. I even feel disgusted just looking at you. You are nothing now."
"So Shen Xizhou, why are you still pestering me?"
"To me, you are a dispensable person."
"An unimportant person." An Nuan chuckled lightly, her eyes filled with a smile. "Oh, right. If possible, I sincerely hope not to see you again. Because even seeing you makes me feel uncomfortable all over."
"Seeing you makes my eyes feel dirty."
"An Nuan, shut up."
An Nuan didn't shut up obediently like before, but continued speaking.
Her face was full of sarcasm.
There was no love in her eyes when she looked at Shen Xizhou.
"Mr. Shen, please stop bothering me, okay? Your appearance has caused me great distress."
An Nuan smiled sarcastically. "Oh, right. Mr. Shen, please tell your fiancée not to come looking for me for no reason. I've been letting her off before, but now I'm not going to tolerate it or let her get away with it."
"Keep your mad dog in check."
"Heh."
Shen Xizhou suddenly dragged An Nuan towards the bathroom. He filled the bathtub with water and looked at An Nuan.
An Nuan didn't want to go in. Her hands gripped the doorframe, making a final struggle.
But Shen Xizhou forcibly dragged her away, leaving her with no retreat.
Shen Xizhou slammed the door shut.
"Mr. Shen, are you enraged and want to lay hands on me?"
"Mr. Shen, are you planning to push my head into the water and make me struggle? Or…" Her gaze fell on the razor on the shelf, and the corners of her mouth curved into a bloodthirsty smile. "Or are you going to cut me piece by piece with a razor?"
An Nuan shook her head, her face mocking. "Mr. Shen's methods and thoughts are so deep. How could I possibly guess?"
Shen Xizhou said nothing. His hand tightly gripped her chin.
He looked at An Nuan. He hadn't realized before that she could talk so much. Ha, she was indeed eloquent. He had underestimated her before.
Just as she said, Shen Xizhou pushed her head into the water and pressed down hard.
He didn't pull her up for a long time, as if waiting for her to beg for mercy.
Time passed second by second. An Nuan didn't struggle, but Shen Xizhou's hand trembled. He felt a little panicked.
He didn't hesitate any longer and pulled her up.
An Nuan's face was extremely pale, but her eyes were still open, and a smile was on her lips, as if mocking him.
An Nuan, who hadn't begged for mercy and was still mocking him, completely enraged him. He pushed her into the water again. This time, he had no tenderness or pity.
After a long while, the person in the water remained motionless. He wanted to pull her up, but he remembered An Nuan's mocking expression just now, and he suppressed this thought.
Despair and pain filled An Nuan's body. She didn't struggle, but she realized she couldn't breathe.
She seemed to see her mother, who said: "Nuan Nuan, you must live. Go back quickly. You can't die. You still have Yun Xiu. Can you bear to leave Yun Xiu alone?"
What would happen to Yun Xiu alone? He would be bullied.
Nuan Nuan, you promised Mom you would take good care of your brother. Are you going to break your promise?
An Nuan finally lowered her head and struggled. However, Shen Xizhou had no intention of letting her off.
An Nuan's struggle made him feel even more that he was doing the right thing.
"An Nuan, An Nuan, where are you?"
Ye Qingcheng called out anxiously from outside the door.
Hearing Ye Qingcheng's voice, An Nuan's struggling movements became more vigorous.
If Ye Qingcheng heard this, he would definitely come to save her.
Yes, she still had Yun Xiu.
At this moment, she kicked forcefully.
After Ye Qingcheng settled An Yun Xiu, he came to find An Nuan.
He was a little worried about An Nuan, always feeling that An Nuan's mood was a bit off. Moreover, she seemed very tired. He thought she might not go back to rest well and might still be thinking about work. He came to find An Nuan to tell her not to go to work anymore.
Her body couldn't handle it at all.
She needed rest. If she continued like this, her body would be ruined.
"An Nuan, An Nuan." Ye Qingcheng looked at the chaotic environment around him, extremely worried. When he heard the noise coming from the bathroom, his heart sank with fear.
Was he too late?
Ye Qingcheng heard An Nuan's voice and the sound of kicking the door. His heart was about to jump out of his chest.
"An Nuan, An Nuan, are you inside?"
Ye Qingcheng shouted loudly. He seemed to have realized something and directly kicked the door open.
He saw Shen Xizhou pressing An Nuan's head into the water, and An Nuan was struggling.
Ye Qingcheng admitted that his heart was already in unbearable pain.
He never expected Shen Xizhou to treat An Nuan like this. He quickly pulled An Nuan out of the water and looked at her pale face, devoid of any blood color. He glared at Shen Xizhou: "Shen Xizhou, you already have Xu Ruowei, so why are you here hurting An Nuan? She's already suffered enough, can't you just let her go?"
Shen Xizhou didn't answer and simply walked away.
Ye Qingcheng didn't care about anything else and hugged An Nuan, rushing out, afraid that if he was a second late, the person in his arms would lose her life.
Looking at the anxious Ye Qingcheng, An Nuan felt a little guilty. He was too good to her, and she owed him more and more.
She wanted to tell Ye Qingcheng, "You don't need to be so good to me, it's not worth it."
"An Nuan, it's all my fault. If I had insisted that you go to the hospital with me, you wouldn't be in such a sorry state. You wouldn't have been tortured like this by Shen Xizhou."
Although Ye Qingcheng said this, he didn't hesitate and took An Nuan to the hospital.
"An Nuan, I won't let Shen Xizhou go, he…"
An Nuan spoke softly, "Doctor Ye, no. Please don't act for my sake. I'm really fine."
"I don't want you to fall into an endless abyss because of me. That would make me feel even more sorry for you." An Nuan said cautiously.
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng wanted to say something, but ultimately held back his words.
