After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 455

An Nuan was watching Xia Qiqi leave.

Usually this woman would insist on staying until the last moment before reluctantly going home.

She didn't know why Xia Qiqi was so reluctant to stay at home.

Sometimes An Nuan even hoped she could just stay at home all the time and not go anywhere.

But Xia Qiqi was completely different. It was as if her house was on fire and she just had to get out.

Strangely tonight, she left early.

If she guessed right, Gu Yanxuan must have provoked Xia Qiqi just now.

Xia Qiqi rarely swallowed insults, especially from Gu Yanxuan. The two had never gotten along since they were young. Whenever they met it was like drawing bows at each other. Today Xia Qiqi unexpectedly didn't argue with Gu Yanxuan and just left, which really surprised An Nuan.

She was thinking, as long as Xia Qiqi didn't regret it, then it was fine.

Anyway, Nie Ziming also liked Xia Qiqi. As long as she got some leverage over Nie Ziming, and the two fell in love, they might be able to have a good life.

But if Xia Qiqi suddenly regretted it later...

She probably wouldn't be able to get Xiao Nanchen back.

In the future, the only one who would suffer would be herself.

"Ms. An," Tan Yufei called her.

An Nuan came back to her senses.

She said, "I'm a little tired. I'll go outside for some fresh air. You make some more contacts yourself."

"Okay."

An Nuan left the banquet hall and went to the garden.

She had just sat down on the dimly lit swing when she heard Gu Yan Sheng's voice say, "An Nuan."

An Nuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Xia Qiqi hated Gu Yanxuan to death.

She was utterly disgusted by Gu Yan Sheng.

It really was true that birds of a feather flock together.

The two siblings were equally detestable.

An Nuan glanced at Gu Yan Sheng without acknowledging him.

Her contempt for him was abundantly clear.

Gu Yan Sheng's expression clearly turned much colder. "Now you really think you're amazing and look down on everyone, don't you?!"

"Just you." An Nuan stood up from the swing. "I only look down on you."

"An Nuan."

An Nuan walked past him.

She knew very clearly that this man was all talk and no action. She didn't need to waste any time on him.

"An Nuan!" Gu Yan Sheng's expression turned even uglier.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed An Nuan's arm.

He used quite a bit of force.

An Nuan winced in pain and her brows knitted tightly. "Gu Yan Sheng, let go!"

"What can you do if I don't?! Scream?!" Gu Yan Sheng said derisively. "Who would end up looking worse, you or me?!"

"You're as despicable as ever."

"You forced me to it." Gu Yan Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "What did you say to Beers just now?!"

An Nuan moved her arm a little.

Gu Yan Sheng gripped it even tighter.

"Let go and I'll tell you!" An Nuan said coldly.

Gu Yan Sheng hesitated for a moment. He threatened, "If you dare run away, I'll make sure everyone at the banquet knows about the entanglement between us here."

"Let go!" An Nuan said coldly.

Gu Yan Sheng let go.

An Nuan rubbed her arm, but didn't leave.

It wasn't that she was really afraid of Gu Yan Sheng, she just didn't want to ruin her own reputation because of this man. He wasn't worth it.

She said, "I just told Mr. Beers that I'm very interested in e-commerce projects internationally. What, does Mr. Beers have a problem with you now?"

"Don't joke with me!" Gu Yan Sheng flat out denied it. "What qualifications does your little e-commerce platform have to compete with me? An Nuan, aren't you ashamed to say things like that?"

"You think too highly of yourself!" An Nuan said coldly. "The profits your e-commerce brings to the Gu Corporation don't even exceed five percent. To be honest, I'd be embarrassed to boast about results like that."

"You!"

"Gu Yan Sheng, you need to admit your own failures and admit when you've been outdone." An Nuan mocked. "I advise you to read more books instead of always thinking of underhanded means. After all, if you walk the night road for too long, you're bound to run into ghosts eventually. I hope you'll take care of yourself."

Having said that, An Nuan was about to leave.

Gu Yan Sheng had been ridiculed by An Nuan so thoroughly that he couldn't let it go.

In his anger he suddenly reached out to grab An Nuan's arm again.

This time An Nuan was prepared.

She dodged it.

But the next second, Gu Yan Sheng grabbed her and hugged her tightly in his arms.

An Nuan struggled but couldn't break free at all.

"An Nuan, you really think you can beat me now!" Gu Yan Sheng said coldly. "This is the difference between men and women. I can do whatever I want to you!"

"Just try it!" An Nuan said threateningly.

The coldness in her tone really made one shudder.

For a moment, even Gu Yan Sheng was stunned by An Nuan's momentum.

But he wasn't someone who could be frightened easily.

He didn't believe An Nuan could really do anything to him.

He held An Nuan tightly and pushed her forcefully against the nearby wall, pinning her down firmly. "Go ahead and scream! I want to see..."

Gu Yan Sheng let out a loud cry of pain.

His expression changed drastically in that moment.

The pain made his whole body contort.

An Nuan had truly used all her strength and ruthlessly kicked him between the legs.

It was said that kind of pain for a man could be enough to kill someone.

She walked away from Gu Yan Sheng and said to him, "Gu Yan Sheng, remember this. I'm not that submissive woman anymore!"

After leaving him with those words, An Nuan turned and left.

Gu Yan Sheng endured the intense pain.

In that moment he was so angry he lost all reason.

He rushed at An Nuan, grabbed her arm, and was about to viciously slap her across the face.

Before he could do it, his whole body was suddenly pushed violently to the side.

Gu Yan Sheng lost his balance and fell directly to the ground. For a moment his vision even went black and he nearly passed out.

An Nuan was still afraid after the fact.

She hadn't expected that she would anger Gu Yan Sheng to this extent.

Even someone usually so restrained as Gu Yan Sheng would completely lose control.

She looked back at Tan Yufei.

She saw him panting for breath, clearly at a loss for what to do after knocking Gu Yan Sheng to the ground.

He was probably frightened by his own actions too.

After all, Gu Yan Sheng's status in Qing City wasn't low, and ordinary people didn't dare offend him either.
