Shen Xizhou watched An Nuan's resolute demeanor, and his heart was completely panicked.
Did An Nuan detest him so much?
No, that was impossible.
An Nuan loved him so much, how could she detest him?
Even if she no longer loved him, he believed An Nuan wouldn't say such hateful words to him.
He glanced at Xu Ruowei, who was standing nearby. Suddenly, as if remembering something important, he pushed Xu Ruowei away and turned to An Nuan, explaining with a smile, "An Nuan, I have no relationship with her."
After speaking, he thought for a moment and said again, "An Nuan, I kept her by my side not because I love her, but because I owe her. I must repay it."
"However, you don't need to worry. Although I keep her by my side, we will not have any relationship that could be misunderstood."
"An Nuan, I know you don't believe me right now. In fact, if I were to bend down and hug you, you would definitely resist. But An Nuan, you are injured, and you must go to the hospital now."
"I'll take you to the hospital first. Please don't move, can you?"
"I'm worried that if you get too emotional, it will cause unnecessary trouble for your injuries."
After Shen Xizhou finished speaking, he immediately squatted down. Just as his hand was about to touch An Nuan, he was startled by the look of disgust and disdain in her eyes.
Listening to Shen Xizhou's words, An Nuan simply looked at the person in front of her with coldness.
Her eyes held malevolence, her hands clenched tightly, making people feel afraid just by looking at her.
Meeting An Nuan's gaze, Shen Xizhou's brows furrowed deeply, but he did not get angry. Instead, he continued to smile and said softly, "An Nuan, even if you detest me, your situation is very dangerous now. Can't you set aside your dissatisfaction with me?"
An Nuan glared at the person in front of her, and when Shen Xizhou attempted to reach out and touch her again, she directly dodged.
An Nuan's angry gaze seemed to say, don't touch me.
She seemed to be saying, stay away from me and I'll be fine.
An Nuan kept looking towards the staircase, waiting. Waiting for the hero of her dreams to appear. Waiting for the person she had always wanted to see.
An Nuan thought, he must be very anxious since she hadn't replied to Nangong Jin's messages for so long. He must be running around like a headless fly.
How much she wished she could reply to Nangong Jin's message, but she couldn't.
She was waiting. Waiting for the doctor to arrive.
She thought, once the doctor came, she would be able to contact Nangong Jin soon.
Seeing An Nuan refuse him so vehemently, Shen Xizhou felt a pang in his heart.
Shen Xizhou hardened his resolve. Regardless of what An Nuan would think if he picked her up, he directly lifted her into his arms.
"Let go of me."
As An Nuan was held in Shen Xizhou's embrace, she felt extremely nauseated. She struggled, wanting to break free from his arms.
Shen Xizhou said gloomily, "An Nuan, you really don't want me near you? Do you know? If you keep struggling like this, your life might be in danger."
"Is it really worth it to treat me like this for Nangong Jin?"
Shen Xizhou was heartbroken. His heart felt as if it were being cut open, bloody and raw.
Thinking back now, it seemed he had treated An Nuan this way back then. What must An Nuan have felt at that time?
"Shen Xizhou, let go of me. Otherwise, I will hate you for the rest of my life."
Hearing this, Shen Xizhou trembled all over. He lowered his gaze to An Nuan, his brows furrowed as if he were trying to see through her.
An Nuan looked at Shen Xizhou and said coldly and directly, "Shen Xizhou, even if you take me to the hospital, I won't let the doctor see me."
"An Nuan, are you going to be like this just because I'm taking you to the hospital?"
"Don't you even care about your own life?"
An Nuan let out a soft scoff and said coldly, "No, I want my life. It's just that your entanglement makes me utterly disgusted."
"Can you stay away from me?"
"Do you know? Seeing you reminds me of all the foolish things I did in the past. Shen Xizhou, you are the stain of my life, do you know that?"
"An Nuan, you want me to..."
"Shen Xizhou, are you trying to say that if you do what I ask, I will forgive you?"
Her gaze fell on Xu Ruowei, and she said coldly, "I remember I already said it, and you've already answered."
"Shen Xizhou, you've already made your decision, so just follow your decision. Really, there's no need to pester me anymore."
"An Nuan, I can do it." Shen Xizhou said excitedly, "I don't care about anything else now. As long as you are by my side, that's enough. I won't care about anyone else."
"Xizhou."
Xu Ruowei was truly startled by this.
She really hadn't expected Shen Xizhou to say such words for An Nuan.
He was willing to make such a sacrifice for An Nuan. Then, what about her? Was she just a joke now?
Hearing Xu Ruowei's voice, Shen Xizhou trembled all over. He seemed to have forgotten that Xu Ruowei was still there.
Xu Ruowei looked at Shen Xizhou with eyes full of malevolence and resentment. But in the end, her gaze fell on An Nuan, blaming An Nuan. An Nuan was a troublemaker.
Why, why, after she pushed her down, didn't she die? Why was she still alive?
She believed that Shen Xizhou hadn't said those words willingly.
It was all forced out of him by An Nuan.
Yes, if An Nuan were gone, everything would be fine.
An Nuan looked at Xu Ruowei quietly. Meeting Xu Ruowei's venomous gaze, the corners of her lips curled into a smile, and she let out a cold scoff.
She had to admit, seeing Xu Ruowei flustered did bring her some comfort.
Xu Ruowei's eyes widened with fury at An Nuan's smile.
So An Nuan was doing this on purpose. Looking at her, where was the sadness and distress?
So, all the things she had done were actually to wait for this moment.
Shen Xizhou saw An Nuan smile.
He was overjoyed. He thought An Nuan's smile was directed at him.
If that were the case, it would be truly wonderful.
Did it mean An Nuan had feelings for him?
Shen Xizhou's smile disgusted An Nuan. She let out a cold scoff and looked at him indifferently.
Shen Xizhou froze. Why was An Nuan, who was smiling just moments ago, like this now?
Where had it gone wrong again?
"What... what on earth is going on? Young Master Shen, we need to send her to the hospital immediately." Yan Bai, arriving on the scene, was truly shocked by what he saw. He had rushed over immediately after receiving his instructions.
