An Nuan looked at Shen Xizhou coldly and said, "Shen Xizhou, is there anything else you want to say? Please, go ahead."
An Nuan spoke with such icy coldness, her gaze fixed on the person before her.
Shen Xizhou's eyes, when they met An Nuan's, were filled with resentment. Why couldn't she just be obedient and do as he said, like before?
"Mr. Shen, if you have nothing to say, then can you let me go? I don't want to be here right now."
"An Nuan, if you want to leave, you must apologize to Ruo Wei."
Shen Xizhou stared at An Nuan with coldness, his voice chilling as he said, "You better think carefully. If you want to leave, you have to apologize to Xu Ruo Wei."
"Shen Xizhou, give up on that idea. By the way, Nangong Jin is outside. You can't control me for much longer."
"If I were you, I'd let her go immediately instead of bringing trouble upon myself."
Thinking of Nangong Jin being outside, her heart felt unusually calm. She knew she wouldn't be in danger with Nangong Jin present. She could truly relax.
Seeing An Nuan's resolute and expectant expression, Shen Xizhou became even more infuriated.
No, he would not allow such a thing to happen to him.
How could An Nuan look at another man with such anticipation?
He was the one An Nuan should be looking forward to, wasn't he?
But An Nuan, her mind was now entirely focused on Nangong Jin's presence, with no room for anyone else.
Shen Xizhou's initial guilt turned cold once more, and he even felt a desire to destroy An Nuan completely.
He had a crazy thought: if he couldn't have her, then no one else would even get close.
No one could snatch An Nuan away from him.
If he couldn't have her, he would simply destroy her.
If she was destroyed, she would have to stay by his side.
If she was destroyed, then no one else could have her. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
"An Nuan, you have no more chances."
An Nuan blinked slightly. She understood very well what Shen Xizhou meant by "no more chances." He had wanted her to apologize to Xu Ruo Wei since the beginning, but she hadn't complied, angering Shen Xizhou.
So, was the Shen Xizhou before her now intending to be ruthless?
"An Nuan, you don't actually need to apologize sincerely. You just need to say the word 'sorry'."
"Wouldn't that be the end of it?"
Meeting An Nuan's disgusted gaze, Xu Ruo Wei felt a surge of delight, her eyes filled with mockery and provocation.
Heh, An Nuan, look at this. Heh heh, even with Nangong Jin by your side, what can you do? You still have to bow down to me.
Xu Ruo Wei was truly triumphant at this moment. If Shen Xizhou weren't present, she would probably be even more ecstatic. She might have rushed up to An Nuan and taunted her.
Xu Ruo Wei wished she could lash out, but with Shen Xizhou around, she couldn't go too far.
However, she wouldn't let An Nuan off easy either, as such an opportunity was rare.
Xu Ruo Wei walked up to An Nuan and whispered in her ear, "An Nuan, just do as you're told. If you don't, I'll make you regret it."
"Oh, and your good friend Li Tian is doing quite well, isn't she?"
"I remember I have some dirt on Li Tian. If I were to spread it, who knows what would happen."
"By the way, Li Tian is with Huo Yuxuan now and they seem very happy."
"An Nuan, do you know? You've caused me so much trouble, and now, whenever I see someone connected to you happy, I get envious. I want to ruin it all."
Xu Ruo Wei's voice, like a demon's, echoed in her ear again. "An Nuan, you'd better apologize obediently and satisfy me. Otherwise, Li Tian will be the next unlucky one. You should think carefully."
An Nuan's eyes widened, staring at Xu Ruo Wei in disbelief.
She understood the blatant threat. She just hadn't expected Xu Ruo Wei to be so bold as to say it out loud.
An Nuan smiled. In fact, Xu Ruo Wei's audacity in speaking these words was likely emboldened by Shen Xizhou.
But thinking about it now, Xu Ruo Wei's words probably meant she had already begun her actions.
"Xu Ruo Wei, if you dare to touch Li Tian, I will kill you. Even if I have to give my own life, I will make you pay."
An Nuan turned to Shen Xizhou and said coldly, "Shen Xizhou, control your dog properly. Don't let it out to bite people."
After speaking, Xu Ruo Wei was stunned. An Nuan's words, "control your dog," was she referring to her?
Xu Ruo Wei seemed to go mad, rushing at An Nuan, almost resorting to violence.
But An Nuan, with a strength she didn't know she had, slapped Xu Ruo Wei across the face.
Xu Ruo Wei froze. How dare An Nuan hit her? What right did she have?
Shen Xizhou had never expected An Nuan to say such things and then hit Xu Ruo Wei. Seeing her ferocious expression, a sense of foreboding stirred within him.
Shen Xizhou felt as though he and An Nuan could never go back to how they were.
An Nuan had never looked at him with such ferocity for all the things he had done to her. But now, because of Xu Ruo Wei's words, she had become like this.
"Shen Xizhou, remember, control your dog. If there's a next time, I won't let her off."
"I don't believe she can always be so lucky."
An Nuan didn't want any further conflict with Xu Ruo Wei, as she saw no point in it.
However, Xu Ruo Wei was simply too arrogant and irritating.
And this time, Xu Ruo Wei had truly touched her bottom line.
She would not allow Li Tian to be in danger again.
She absolutely did not want Li Tian to be implicated because of her.
She truly didn't want the people around her to be involved because of her.
Shen Xizhou just watched An Nuan, not knowing how to respond.
He glanced at Xu Ruo Wei, wondering what she had said to make An Nuan so angry.
An Nuan had always been calm in front of him, even reluctant to speak much. But now, because of Xu Ruo Wei's proximity, she had spoken such harsh words. The reason for this was truly unfathomable.
Perhaps, Xu Ruo Wei had said something to provoke An Nuan.
As Shen Xizhou looked at An Nuan, seemingly about to speak, An Nuan said coldly, "Get lost."
