Xu Ruowei thought she was truly finished this time. She never expected An Nuan to actually try to harm her, without a hint of fear.
Xu Ruowei regretted it. She was truly and utterly regretful this time.
Why had she done something so foolish? Why had she let An Nuan come? An Nuan had already said she had no feelings for Shen Xizhou, so she truly had none.
And her now resorting to such drastic measures, her current actions, were more because Xu Ruowei had thoroughly angered her, leading to what had just happened.
Therefore, the outcome of everything now was ultimately her own doing.
An Nuan had said something right: if she had been content and law-abiding, she wouldn't have ended up in such a state now.
At this moment, she even harbored a sliver of hope. Looking at An Nuan, she anxiously said, "An Nuan, aren't you even a little bit afraid?"
"Those videos I recorded, aren't you worried Shen Xizhou will see them? Aren't you worried about people outside finding out?"
"Don't you have anyone you care about?"
An Nuan smiled. Was Xu Ruowei struggling now?
"Xu Ruowei, I remember telling you just now that Nangong Jin has always trusted me, so Nangong Jin won't worry about what you're saying now."
"And the person I care about most is Nangong Jin."
"Do you know? If I wanted to kill someone, Nangong Jin would definitely hand me the knife."
"Do you think a Nangong Jin like that would doubt me because of what you show him?"
"An Nuan, you're twisting words. Even if Nangong Jin stands by you and speaks for you in the end, don't you feel any guilt?"
An Nuan smiled, looking at Xu Ruowei with mockery. She said coldly, "Xu Ruowei, don't you find it pathetic to say such things?"
"Guilt?"
"Why should I feel guilty? This was all orchestrated by you."
"Of course, perhaps things didn't turn out the way you expected."
An Nuan kicked Xu Ruowei directly, saying coldly, "Shut your mouth. Hearing your voice now makes me utterly disgusted."
"Heh, why should I listen to you? If I don't listen, can you still harm me?"
"An Nuan, you wouldn't dare to be ruthless with me because you're also afraid. If you do something to me, I will definitely tell Shen Xizhou everything when I see him, and then Shen Xizhou will surely stand up for me."
An Nuan looked at Xu Ruowei with disdain and said coldly, "It seems you haven't heard a single word of what I said earlier."
"I've already said it, Shen Xizhou is trash to me."
Xu Ruowei looked in a certain direction, her eyes filled with a smile, and the smile on her face grew more intense.
An Nuan looked at Xu Ruowei, confused, not understanding why Xu Ruowei was wearing such an expression. But even though she didn't understand, she continued with what she should have been saying.
Xu Ruowei's state was somewhat terrifying, but she had been like this from the beginning. Thinking about it now, her demeanor actually seemed normal.
"An Nuan, you probably wouldn't dare to say such things to Shen Xizhou's face, would you?"
"Actually, what you're thinking in your heart is that you want me to disappear from Shen Xizhou's side, and then you'll take my place, right?"
Listening to Xu Ruowei's words, An Nuan almost felt that the person in front of her was speaking incoherently. She felt she had already made herself very clear, but Xu Ruowei acted as if she didn't understand.
Yes, Shen Xizhou was truly good to her. Yes, before, Shen Xizhou had been very good to her. But later, she realized that falling in love with Shen Xizhou was the biggest mistake she had ever made in her life.
Explanations had been given, but she figured Xu Ruowei truly wouldn't believe her words.
Therefore, she would explain no further.
An Nuan smiled and said coldly, "Even if Shen Xizhou were standing in front of me right now, I would still say the same thing."
"Meeting Shen Xizhou, falling in love with Shen Xizhou, was the greatest disaster of my life."
After hearing An Nuan's words, Xu Ruowei's smile grew wider, and her gaze towards An Nuan became even more triumphant.
An Nuan's gaze fell on Xu Ruowei, she picked up the water nearby, and poured it directly onto Xu Ruowei.
As Xu Ruowei looked up, she saw An Nuan holding a fruit knife, the knife about to descend onto her face.
Xu Ruowei kept retreating, her face full of fear as she looked at An Nuan. She frantically waved her hands, anxiously explaining, "An Nuan, no, you can't do this to me. You wouldn't dare to do this to me."
"Shen Xizhou is someone Shen Xizhou would risk his life to protect. How can you do this to me?"
"An Nuan, all these things you're doing, aren't they just to attract Shen Xizhou's attention?"
"An Nuan, give up this idea. As long as I'm here, I absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen."
An Nuan merely smiled at Xu Ruowei's threatening words.
"Heh." An Nuan chuckled. "Is that so? But your life is in my hands right now. If my hand slips even slightly, I can end your life. Is what you say is impossible really impossible?"
"An Nuan, what do you want to do?" Shen Xizhou's eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment when he saw the fruit knife in An Nuan's hand.
He had expected An Nuan to be furious, but he never imagined she would do something so extreme.
Shen Xizhou exuded a cold aura. He glanced at An Nuan, then at the disheveled Xu Ruowei, his heart aching.
"Ruowei, are you alright?"
Shen Xizhou gently embraced Xu Ruowei, asking solicitously, "Ruowei, what happened?"
"You were perfectly fine just now, how did you suddenly end up like this?"
Shen Xizhou had arrived. And at her most disheveled, most tragic moment, when An Nuan was threatening her with a fruit knife, he had appeared.
A cold smile curved her lips. She was overjoyed. It seemed even heaven was on her side this time.
She happily thought that An Nuan would be utterly unable to defend herself now.
Moreover, once those videos in her hand were handled, she would show them to Shen Xizhou. Then, she wouldn't need to do anything else; she could destroy An Nuan.
Thinking this, her heart grew happier, she could hardly resist a suppressed giggle.
However, in order to deal with An Nuan, she held back.
Having suffered such great injustice, even if An Nuan had to pay with her life, it would be perfectly reasonable.
Xu Ruowei's lips curved into a triumphant smile, but she quickly concealed it. Tears immediately flowed, and she sobbed, looking at Shen Xizhou with a wronged expression.
"Xizhou, Xizhou, thank you for appearing so promptly. If you hadn't shown up, I wouldn't have seen you again." She spoke with tears like pear blossoms, pitifully.
