Gu Yan Sheng gazed intensely at An Nuan.
An Nuan smiled and spoke with a gentle tone, but her attitude remained firm.
He suppressed a powerful anger, concealing it within himself.
He had reached his limit. What more did An Nuan want from him?
He had given her all the face, humbling himself to this extent. What more did she expect from him?!
He asked, "What else do you want in order to marry me?"
There was a hint of anger in his words.
Perhaps he could no longer pretend.
An Nuan was aware of it too.
Gu Yan Sheng believed he had done everything possible, and if she still couldn't appreciate it, then it was her own fault.
She sneered, "Nothing you do will be enough."
"An Nuan, everything has its limits!" Gu Yan Sheng lowered his voice, gritting his teeth as he told her, "If you truly regret the marriage, there will be no possibility for us in the future. I swear I will never marry you again!"
"That's what I want," An Nuan replied nonchalantly, unaffected by Gu Yan Sheng's emotions.
"An Nuan!" Gu Yan Sheng's anger surged, and for a moment, he was on the verge of exploding completely. "Everything I've done for you, even kneeling in front of so many people, was it all just to embarrass me? You never considered forgiving me, you never considered continuing with the wedding?!"
"Yes," An Nuan admitted without hesitation.
Everything she did was to retaliate against the cruelty he had inflicted on her in her previous life!
Clearly.
It wasn't enough.
She was merely victorious in this initial battle.
"An Nuan, you better not regret the words you said and the things you did today!" Gu Yan Sheng threatened fiercely.
"I will never regret it!"
At that moment, Gu Yan Sheng was pushed to his limit by An Nuan's audacity.
The thought of how he had humiliated himself for this woman, doing so much for her in front of so many people, only to be played by her, by this despicable person An Nuan, he couldn't bear it any longer.
His suppressed anger began to burst forth, bit by bit.
Just when it was possible for him to completely disregard his image and explode at An Nuan...
"An Nuan, that's enough!" It was Wen QingCui's sudden roar.
An Nuan narrowed her eyes and coldly stared at her.
And then, in the next moment...
Perhaps it was in that next moment that Gu Yan Sheng would have been pushed to his limit, that he would have done something to utterly ruin his reputation. But at that moment, he was abruptly stopped by Wen QingCui.
The aura that she suddenly emitted even startled Wen QingCui herself.
She truly couldn't believe that this chilling presence could come from An Nuan.
That moment even made her vaguely recall the appearance of An Nuan's grandfather, the inherent aura of a ruler, the ability to command without anger!
And suddenly, she seemed to understand why An Nuan's grandfather had adored her from a young age.
It was because An Nuan possessed her grandfather's abilities!
"Grandmother, I'll say it again: I am in charge of my own marriage. If my actions today have affected your interests, I apologize for defying you, but I cannot sacrifice my lifelong happiness to pave the way for you." An Nuan's words were laced with sarcasm, yet carried a hint of determination.
Indeed, she would not compromise.
Wen QingCui instantly grew angry. "I'm doing this for your own good! You and Gu Yan Sheng have grown up together since childhood, understanding each other inside out. You are a perfect match. Now, just because of a small mistake Gu Yan Sheng made, you want to cancel the wedding. It's purely impulsive!"
"A small mistake?" An Nuan mocked. "For you, Grandma, Gu Yan Sheng's infidelity is a trivial matter. Then why did I hear that when Grandfather had a social gathering with a female subordinate due to work, Grandma raised hell at home? If that's the case, when Grandfather carelessly flirted outside, Grandma not only forgave him generously but also applauded him?!"
"An Nuan!" Wen QingCui was furious at An Nuan's sarcastic remarks.
"If Grandma herself can't do it, why should I be expected to?" An Nuan's voice trembled with anger as she questioned fiercely!
An Nuan's words hit Wen QingCui hard, and she couldn't bear it!
She was now here to reconcile not only because the Gu family entrusted her to do so, but also because, as the esteemed wife of the An family, she couldn't lose face in front of her own granddaughter.
"Grandma, do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you." An Nuan's tone softened slightly, and she bowed respectfully to Wen QingCui, showing great respect. "Today, I indeed encountered many things, and my attitude was not good. I apologize for angering you. Please calm down and try to understand my perspective."
This action left Wen QingCui even more helpless.
It was as if she had committed an unforgivable sin and was forcing others into prostitution!
She endured and endured, and at that moment, she spoke with great earnestness, "Nuan Nuan, Grandma really wants what's best for you. Gu Yan Sheng is such a good man, and it's a pity that you two are breaking up like this. Darling, just listen to Grandma's advice and give Gu Yan Sheng another chance. Don't just rely on Gu Yan Sheng's assurance; even I promise you, if Gu Yan Sheng treats you even a little bit badly, this old lady will take your side!"
So, when being tough didn't work, she resorted to being soft.
An Nuan smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm not disregarding your words. I am certain that Gu Yan Sheng and I can't go back to the way things were. I have my principles, and I have my pride. I won't allow my marriage to be trampled upon like this. I hope you can understand, Grandma."
Wen QingCui, who had finally managed to put on a gentle and pleasing expression, grew angry once again.
An Nuan also didn't want to continue arguing with Wen QingCui.
She bowed once again and turned to leave.
"An Nuan! Can't you have some self-awareness? Do you think, given your circumstances, you can find a better man than Gu Yan Sheng? I've said both good and bad things to you, but you don't take any of it to heart! Don't even mention Gu Yan Sheng, with a woman like you who shows no respect or dignity to men, who would dare to marry you? You have no shame!" Wen QingCui's words were extremely harsh.
An Nuan bit her lip tightly.
So in Wen QingCui's eyes, how lowly must she be?
How lowly must she be to make her own granddaughter degrade herself like this?
She stared angrily at Wen QingCui.
Just as she was about to speak.
"Who said... that no one would marry her?" Suddenly, a magnetic and enchanting male voice echoed in the darkness.
Everyone's gaze suddenly focused on the man walking up from the stage.
He was dressed in a white suit, which seemed to emit a beautiful halo under the lights.
He had a tall and straight figure, with an air of elegance and calmness in every step.
He stopped in front of An Nuan, and with his exquisitely handsome features that seemed to be crafted by the heavens, he gazed deeply into her eyes with his profound and mysterious gaze.
He said, "I'll marry her."
At that moment.
An Nuan truly felt her heart stir.
