Seeing Xu Ruowei's provocative demeanor, Li Tian could no longer sit still. She directly slapped her across the face and said coldly, "Xu Ruowei, do you really think I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you?"
"Xu Ruowei, get rid of that disgusting look. What other wicked scheme are you planning to deal with An Nuan?"
"Didn't I tell you not to bully her again? Yet, you've framed An Nuan time and time again. Xu Ruowei, have you truly not taken my words to heart?"
As Li Tian spoke, she lunged forward to slap Xu Ruowei again. But at that moment, Shen Xizhou suddenly appeared and pulled Xu Ruowei into his embrace. Li Tian, even if she wanted to attack Xu Ruowei, found no opportunity.
Shen Xizhou did not speak, only drawing Xu Ruowei closer. He had originally intended to place Xu Ruowei aside, but he hadn't expected Xu Ruowei to cling to him tightly, her hands refusing to let go.
His gaze fell upon the emergency room.
Now, his only wish was for An Nuan to survive.
When Li Tian thought that An Nuan was once again suffering all this because of Shen Xizhou, and was on the verge of death again, she wished she could rush forward and attack Shen Xizhou.
She believed Shen Xizhou was a calamity, and his presence would kill An Nuan.
Why did he have to appear before An Nuan? Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if Shen Xizhou didn't exist in this world?
What angered her was that after experiencing so much, after so many things had happened, why did Shen Xizhou still believe Xu Ruowei so much?
What had Xu Ruowei done to make him trust her so deeply?
And why did An Nuan have to suffer such undeserved torment?
"Shen Xizhou, has your conscience been eaten by dogs? Now that you know all the truth, why are you still keeping this vicious woman by your side?"
"Shen Xizhou, or did you never intend to let Xu Ruowei leave your side from the very beginning? You want her to stay by your side forever, don't you?"
"Shen Xizhou, not only has your conscience been eaten by dogs, you truly don't deserve to be human."
"Li Tian, the situation..."
"Shen Xizhou, Mr. Shen, shut your mouth. I don't want to hear any explanations from you."
"I just want to know what happened and why An Nuan was sent to the emergency room."
Li Tian snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Shen, don't tell me this is a minor matter and it will be handled."
"Mr. Shen, I think there's something you don't understand. I think I need to explain it to you properly, so that there are no misunderstandings later."
Seeing Shen Xizhou's bewildered expression, Li Tian said coldly, "Shen Xizhou, whatever your intentions are towards An Nuan, from this moment on, please let An Nuan go."
"An Nuan has lived a life of too much pain and suffering because of you."
"Shen Xizhou, don't forget, these pains were all inflicted upon her by you, bit by bit."
"Shen Xizhou, you should remember."
Shen Xizhou listened to Li Tian's words in silence. He didn't understand how this matter would be resolved in the end, and it no longer mattered. All he wanted now was for An Nuan to wake up.
As long as An Nuan could wake up, they could express all their dislike and weariness towards him directly.
Nangong Jin, standing nearby, looked at Shen Xizhou and suddenly kicked him.
However, Shen Xizhou said nothing, just stared intently. He didn't even dare to blink.
...
One month.
"An Nuan, An Nuan, how is she? Can you let me see An Nuan?"
A month ago, outside the emergency room, the light went out. When he heard the doctor say that An Nuan's life was saved, he was completely relieved and let out a sigh of relief.
He had been waiting outside, wanting to see An Nuan, wanting to apologize to her in person. To tell her he didn't do it on purpose.
But Nangong Jin had directly taken An Nuan away from another location, and he hadn't even seen An Nuan.
For the past month, he had been staking out the entrance of Nangong Jin's apartment. He thought that by keeping an eye on Nangong Jin, he would surely find An Nuan and see her.
But for a whole month, he hadn't even caught a glimpse of her.
He had sent many people to investigate, but An Nuan seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. No matter what, he couldn't find any information about An Nuan.
Finally, he knew that all of this was Nangong Jin's doing.
Nangong Jin did not want him to find An Nuan.
He deliberately hid everything related to An Nuan.
One day, it was raining heavily.
Shen Xizhou stood outside the apartment, getting drenched in the rain, and looked at Nangong Jin standing inside. He pleaded, "Nangong Jin, tell me, where is An Nuan?"
"I won't do anything. I just want to see her."
"As long as I see her and know that she's alright, I won't bother her anymore."
This was the first time he had ever seen Shen Xizhou so pathetic, begging for help.
Perhaps, even Shen Xizhou himself had never imagined that he would reach such a point.
How arrogant he had been back then, saying he would never kneel. He had even wished for An Nuan to disappear from this world.
He had also said that no matter what happened to An Nuan, he would never look for her, nor would he have any connection with her.
But the man kneeling on the ground, in the rain, was the ruthless Shen Xizhou he had once been.
If Shen Xizhou had foreseen this day, perhaps he wouldn't have acted so decisively back then.
"Shen Xizhou, give up on that idea."
"You almost took An Nuan's life, and now you still have the audacity to kneel here and beg to see her? Shen Xizhou, you truly are shameless."
"Shen Xizhou, do you think all the women in the world should revolve around you?"
"Shen Xizhou, do you know that because of what you did to An Nuan, An Nuan, An Nuan almost lost her life? Fortunately, Nangong Jin appeared in time, and she was sent to the hospital in time, so An Nuan was out of danger."
"Even if I beg you, please don't appear before An Nuan anymore, okay?"
"Whenever you appear, nothing good happens. Every time, An Nuan ends up with severe injuries."
"Shen Xizhou, An Nuan has paid off her debts. Why don't you just leave her alone? Can't you?"
"Why are you pestering her? Do you want her to die before you're satisfied?"
"Li Tian, I know that what I did before makes it impossible for you to believe anything I say now."
"But Li Tian, I sincerely want to repent. I sincerely want to apologize."
"I know everything that happened now. I also know that I misunderstood An Nuan."
"I'm not here to beg An Nuan for forgiveness. I just want to see An Nuan. As long as I can confirm that An Nuan is safe, as long as I can confirm that she is alive and well, I will leave."
"I won't pester An Nuan."
Shen Xizhou said with a determined look. He knew that making such a decision might mean he would never see An Nuan again, but if it meant getting one last look at her, and knowing she was safe and alive, then it would be a good thing for him.
"Shen Xizhou, I can tell you that An Nuan is alive and well, and her body has recovered very well," Li Tian said with firm conviction.
