An Nuan looked at Nangong Jin and shook her head, saying, "No, I won't sign."
"Nangong Jin, I don't know what happened to you, but I'm very clear that you wouldn't do something so cold-hearted."
"I also know that you definitely don't mean these words from your heart. I think something must have happened for you to be like this."
"Did something happen at the company, Nangong Jin?"
"I know you don't want to involve me, so you're making this decision, right?"
"Nangong Jin, no, I won't leave you because of this. Believe me, I will stay by your side forever."
"No matter what you become."
Listening to these words and looking at An Nuan, who was crying like a drowned rat, Nangong Jin's heart ached immensely. However, he had to maintain his act of being cruel and cold.
He thought he absolutely couldn't let his soft heart harm An Nuan.
He wanted An Nuan to safely extricate herself from that matter.
"An Nuan, I've told you, all the effort I put into you was just an act. You don't honestly think I would fall in love with you, do you?"
"I am Nangong Jin. So many women want to marry me. Why would I marry you?"
"I can find someone better than you among so many women."
"An Nuan, if you keep refusing to sign and keep pestering me, then don't blame me for making things ugly."
"You should know that I have plenty of capable people around me. What do you think you can fight me with?"
"If you don't want to suffer, An Nuan, I think you should just be obedient."
"Of course, if you want to humiliate yourself and see yourself in a difficult situation, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
"I've already given you the chance. What you do next is up to you."
An Nuan's eyes widened, filled with shock and disbelief as she looked at the man before her, a man who was both familiar and a stranger.
She never expected such cold-blooded words to come from Nangong Jin. She even wondered if something had happened to him that made him this way.
She looked at Nangong Jin and asked softly, "Nangong Jin, is all of this an act? Are you actually planning to surprise me?"
An Nuan trembled all over and said cautiously, "Nangong Jin, no, I don't need any surprises. What I need now is you. As long as you are by my side, it's enough."
"Nangong Jin, I don't believe such heartless words came from you."
"Didn't all the things you did for me back then count for anything?"
"Nangong Jin, if there's any misunderstanding, any problem, can you please tell me?"
"Nangong Jin, you promised me a wedding. Today is our wedding day, why are you treating me like this?"
"Nangong Jin, tell me, tell me, what is it all about?"
"There's nothing. An Nuan, don't have any more thoughts about me."
"An Nuan, to tell you the truth, all of this I've done is for revenge."
"I've already told you, but you don't believe it."
"An Nuan, actually, the person I always wanted to marry wasn't you. All along, you were just a substitute."
"You were a substitute for the white moonlight in my heart."
"An Nuan, but now I've found someone who resembles her even more than you do, so I've changed my mind."
"An Nuan, let go. Don't pester me anymore, lest things get ugly later."
"An Nuan, from the very beginning, you knew the disparity between us."
"An Nuan, I will give you some money. It should be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. An Nuan, you've already profited, haven't you?"
An Nuan looked at the man before her with disbelief, unable to comprehend how he could utter such cold words.
When Nangong Jin handed her the agreement, it felt like he was humiliating her.
It was as if all these years by his side, she was only after such things.
She couldn't understand why, when everything was fine yesterday, it had become like this today.
He even spoke such cruel and heartless words.
She took a deep breath, her hands clenched tightly, and a bitter smile formed on her lips. "Nangong Jin, I know something must have happened for you to say these things."
"The wedding can wait, there's no rush."
"Can we sit down and talk properly?"
An Nuan's voice was bordering on卑微 (humble/degraded).
"An Nuan, everything I've said is true."
Nangong Jin looked at An Nuan with ice-cold eyes, pushing her away. He said coldly, "What I said was very clear. Don't you understand yet?"
"An Nuan, do you have to cling to me like this for your whole life? Are you that desperate for a man?"
"An Nuan, you can't bear to give up the identity of Mrs. Nangong to someone else, can you?"
"Don't even think about it. The position of Mrs. Nangong will never be yours."
"An Nuan, let's go, otherwise, if I say something in front of the reporters, you'll be the one to look bad."
"I hope you'll cooperate properly then."
"Of course, if you don't cooperate, I have my ways."
"Nangong Jin, no, you are not this cold-blooded. I believe you wouldn't treat me like this."
Even after Nangong Jin said those words, An Nuan still refused to believe that Nangong Jin was truly heartless.
She tried to win Nangong Jin back.
He had clearly accompanied her to choose wedding dresses.
He had clearly dined with her.
He had clearly taken such good care of her, but now everything had changed.
She didn't know where the problem had arisen.
She and Nangong Jin had been together all along. They had only separated when he went to try on a suit.
An Nuan wondered if something had happened to Nangong Jin then.
A bad premonition stirred in her heart.
Just as An Nuan was about to speak, Nangong Jin said coldly, "I don't want you anymore because I find you dirty."
"An Nuan, people should have self-awareness, you know?"
"Do you want me to reveal everything you've done?"
"An Nuan, I also have my reputation to consider."
"I also have my reputation to consider?"
An Nuan scoffed upon hearing this. Was that the reason? But she didn't believe it.
If that were true, he wouldn't have stayed by her side all this time.
If he didn't mind back then, he wouldn't mind even more now.
An Nuan stepped forward, trying to tightly grasp Nangong Jin's hand. But at that moment, Nangong Jin directly avoided her hand and said coldly, "Dirty."
