Although Xu Ruowei was unwilling, she apologized in the end.
An Nuan scoffed and said coldly, "Xu Ruowei, I told you not to waste your thoughts and time on me, but you don't seem to understand."
"Xu Ruowei, pouring your thoughts into me is a waste of time, you know? You need to know that Shen Xizhou and I are impossible, and we will never be together in this lifetime."
"As long as you can get Shen Xizhou to care about you, and as long as you do what you should do, that's enough."
"However, all these years, you've been making things difficult for me, causing me trouble. Xu Ruowei, have you ever seriously thought about whether you're wasting your time?"
"I never wanted to be your enemy. I just want to live well and be with Nangong Jin."
"As you said, I already have Nangong Jin by my side, and others are of no use to me anymore."
After An Nuan finished speaking, she didn't bother to consider whether Xu Ruowei had heard her. Anyway, she had said what needed to be said, and now it was time for her to leave.
She didn't want to spend any more time with the person in front of her.
Xu Ruowei stared at An Nuan's retreating figure, her eyes filled with hatred. Looking at An Nuan coldly, a bad idea suddenly surfaced in her mind.
She followed An Nuan step by step. Recalling what An Nuan had just said to her, she chose not to believe it. She even wondered if An Nuan would tell Shen Xizhou about what happened today. If so, she would truly have no chance in this life.
Moreover, An Nuan had Nangong Jin by her side. What if she told Nangong Jin? If Nangong Jin used his connections to block all her escape routes, what would she do? The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
Xu Ruowei called out, "An Nuan..."
An Nuan turned to look, but Xu Ruowei's hand directly reached out and pushed An Nuan down.
An Nuan tumbled down the stairs just like that.
Xu Ruowei started to laugh, a wild, maniacal laugh.
"Hahaha, An Nuan, who told you to cross me? Who told you to say those things to me? An Nuan, I'm going to ruin you."
Xu Ruowei laughed wildly, while the people who were there earlier trembled when they saw Xu Ruowei. They all fled through another passage.
An Nuan cried out in pain, "Xu Ruowei, you actually took action, you..."
Xu Ruowei, who was about to leave, shivered when she heard An Nuan's voice. She truly hadn't expected An Nuan to still be conscious.
No, An Nuan couldn't be conscious, much less alive.
Perhaps An Nuan wouldn't have said anything if nothing had happened. But now that something had happened, how could An Nuan let her go? She would definitely tell everyone about this, and then she would be truly ruined.
Xu Ruowei quickly ran over, her hand falling on An Nuan's neck. She said viciously, "An Nuan, you're so stupid. Why did you call out to me?"
"An Nuan, I didn't want to hurt you. But I'm scared. I'm afraid you'll tell everything, and then I'll have nothing."
"Perhaps, I won't even have my stable life anymore."
As Xu Ruowei spoke, her hand tightened around An Nuan's neck.
At this moment, a sound came from the stairs. Xu Ruowei was terrified. No one usually came here, but why was someone here today?
Xu Ruowei wanted to hide, but found that the sound was getting closer, and she had no chance.
An Nuan's eyes looked forward. She calmly watched the person approaching. It was Shen Xizhou.
A sarcastic and self-mocking smile curled her lips. She was truly fated to die, meeting Shen Xizhou in such a place.
When An Nuan wanted to speak, she ultimately said nothing.
An Nuan closed her eyes in resignation.
She even said in her heart with reluctance: Nangong Jin, I'm sorry, I'm breaking my promise. I won't be able to stay by your side for a lifetime.
When Shen Xizhou saw the scene, his blood ran cold. He had never imagined such a sight.
He had been at the company when Yan Bai told him about this matter. He had put everything else aside and rushed here. He thought that Yan Bai's intelligence might have been wrong. But when he saw the scene before him, he was completely stunned.
"Xi...Xizhou, why are you here?"
"Xizhou... Xizhou, I don't know what's going on, I... I..."
"Xizhou, as soon as I arrived here, I saw An Nuan lying in a pool of blood. Xizhou, what on earth is going on? I... I'm truly scared."
Xu Ruowei pretended to be frightened. Her voice even trembled, and she even feigned concern for An Nuan. She immediately went over, knelt beside An Nuan, and sobbed, "An Nuan, what is going on? Who? Who could have been so cruel to you?"
As Shen Xizhou knelt down to pick An Nuan up, Xu Ruowei reached out to stop him, her face tear-streaked, and said, "Xizhou, don't, don't move An Nuan."
"We don't know An Nuan's condition. If we move her carelessly, what if we cause her further injury?"
"Xizhou, don't worry, I've already called. The ambulance will be here soon."
"Leave the professional matters to the professionals."
An Nuan glanced at Xu Ruowei. Hah, she called the ambulance? Was she worried that Shen Xizhou would help, and then she would tell him what really happened?
Now she was scared? Where was that courage from before?
"An Nuan."
Shen Xizhou's face was extremely grim. He looked at An Nuan lying on the ground, wanting to help but ultimately choosing to refrain.
As Xu Ruowei had said, if he moved An Nuan and caused her further injury, it would be bad.
And at this moment, Shen Xizhou, for some reason, found himself obeying Xu Ruowei's words.
Xu Ruowei was extremely pleased. She looked at An Nuan provocatively, as if to say, See, with a single word from me, Shen Xizhou stopped all his actions. An Nuan, you'll never be able to beat me in this life.
An Nuan scoffed.
Shen Xizhou reached out his hand, and just as he was about to touch An Nuan, she said coldly, "Get away, don't touch me."
Even though she was injured, An Nuan didn't want Shen Xizhou to touch her.
"An Nuan, do you hate me that much? I don't even have the right to touch you?"
"You're injured now, I must..."
An Nuan looked at Shen Xizhou coldly and said, "I don't need you to."
Her eyes were filled with ice: "Shen Xizhou, I'd rather die than have you touch me."
"Take your dirty hands away."
"Do you know? As long as you stay far away from me, nothing will happen."
"The reason I've ended up like this is all your doing."
An Nuan said coldly.
Xu Ruowei watched from the side, becoming even happier. She had been worried that An Nuan would say something to Shen Xizhou, but now it seemed she didn't need to worry.
