Seeing Nan Wan helping Shen Huaixu like this, Lin Ancheng was probably displeased and began to push Shen Huaixu.
He gave a wicked laugh: "I told you, I'm not just going to say it, I'm going to beat him up, what can you do about it?"
Nan Wan then stood in front of Shen Huaixu: "Young Master Lin, if you want to bully someone, bully me, but you are not allowed to bully Brother Shen."
Nan Wan looked so beautiful protecting Shen Huaixu; Shen Huaixu must have been deeply moved.
Sure enough, Shen Huaixu clenched his fists tightly, and the dark coldness in his eyes was almost impossible to conceal.
Nanzhi watched leisurely from the side.
When Lin Ancheng saw Nan Wan step forward, he still wanted to cause trouble for her, but someone next to him told him to leave. He gave the two of them a few cold glances and said some harsh words to Nan Wan.
"Nan Wan, you just wait."
After Lin Ancheng left, Nan Wan felt a little scared, but still offered heartwarming comfort to Shen Huaixu.
"Brother Shen, please don't take what Young Master Lin said to heart."
Shen Huaixu slowly loosened his clenched fists, and his eyes returned to their usual indifferent and cold expression.
Seeing him looking around as if searching for Nanzhi, Nanwan glanced around as well. Not seeing Nanzhi, she said, "Sister may have left first. Why don't we go back first?"
Upon hearing them mention her, Nanzhi quickly hid around the corner.
Yes, she's already gone. Let the two of them go back together.
But Shen Huaixu refused: "You go first."
"But I'm scared, Brother Shen. On the way home, we'll pass by the wealthy man's mansion, and I'm afraid we'll run into Young Master Lin again..."
Nan Wan bit her lip, looking at him with uneasy, doe-like eyes.
Nan Wan is the most beautiful woman in Cangwu County, and even Nan Zhi was moved by her appearance.
Shen Huaixu seems to be the same.
However, he had his back to Nanzhi at the moment, so Nanzhi couldn't see his expression, which was a bit of a pity.
Shen Huaixu: "Why did the Second Miss come out alone?"
Nan Wan lowered her eyes, looking at the sachet in her hand, her cheeks slightly flushed. "I noticed that Brother Shen didn't have a sachet, so..."
She reached out, wanting to give the sachet to Shen Huaixu.
In this era, giving a sachet as a token of affection is considered a way to express love.
Nan Zhi raised an eyebrow and looked at Nan Wan.
Her kind and lovely younger sister seemed unaware that her actions were improper.
Shen Huaixu lowered his eyes, staring at the sachet in front of him, his gaze slowly moving upwards until it landed on Nan Wan's face.
Nan Wan dared not meet his gaze, her head lowered, her hands nervously clutching the sachet.
With her like that, what man wouldn't want to give his life for her?
However, Chen Huaixu said indifferently, "Sorry, I'm your brother-in-law, I can't accept your sachet."
Nan Wan looked up at him and saw him turn and leave, her eyes immediately reddening.
Shen Huaixu's actions were somewhat beyond Nanzhi's expectations.
Seeing Nan Wan leave looking aggrieved, Nan Zhi was also afraid that Lin Ancheng might do something to her, so she hurried to meet Shen Huaixu.
When Shen Huaixu finally saw her, his expression was somewhat displeased: "Where have you been?"
"Just browsing around," Nanzhi said with a smile.
Seeing that his expression was still not very good, she poked his arm: "I just saw it, you looked so handsome protecting Nan Wan."
Shen Huaixu's gaze paused slightly.
Why did he step forward at that time?
In a daze, he recalled that it seemed to be because of those three words.
Ugly sister...
Because Lin Ancheng said she was ugly.
For some reason, he felt very annoyed at that moment.
Looking at Nanzhi, he pursed his lips slightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't have any dealings with any woman before the divorce."
“That’s not what I meant.” Nan Zhi stared at him. “What I meant was that I wouldn’t interfere with what you and Nan Wan do.”
Shen Huaixu stopped in his tracks.
He looked at Nanzhi and saw her sigh with regret: "So, you shouldn't have refused that sachet."
There was not a trace of sadness on her face.
No, perhaps I am sad, but not for myself, but for him and Nan Wan.
He felt somewhat agitated.
"Look how heartbroken Nan Wan is. What if she runs into Lin Ancheng on the way?" She said anxiously and pushed him, "You hurry and catch up with her to protect her."
"Nanzhi, I..."
Shen Huaixu wanted to tell her that he didn't like Nan Wan at all.
Seeing that he wouldn't leave, Nanzhi angrily threatened, "If you don't go, I won't pay for Moyu's medical treatment, and I won't give you a divorce agreement."
Whether it was her threat that worked or some other emotion that prompted him, he gave her a deep look, suppressed his irritation, and left as she wished.
Shen Huaixu finally left, and only then could Nanzhi find Niu Niu to eat and drink with peace of mind.
"Miss, have some candied hawthorn."
Nanzhi took the candied hawthorn, took a bite, and chewed it with satisfaction.
Niu Niu glanced behind Nan Zhi and asked in confusion, "Miss, where is that little bitch?"
Nan Zhi sighed and smiled wryly, "Stop calling him that little bastard. Be careful, he might turn into a big shot one day and scare you to death."
"But if we don't call him a little bitch, what should we call him?"
“…Let’s call him son-in-law for now,” Nan Zhi said. “After a while, we can stop calling him that.”
Niu Niu asked, puzzled, "Miss, why?"
Nanzhi did not tell her why.
Otherwise, with her loud voice, she would tell Nan Yao sooner or later.
Nan Wan never expected that Shen Huaixu would catch up with her and protect her all the way back to the mansion.
She was very happy and wanted to give him the sachet, but she saw Shen Huaixu return to the East Courtyard without saying a word.
Nan Wan returned to her courtyard, dejected and heartbroken.
The maid Ruyi came over and massaged her shoulders: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Looking at herself in the mirror, Nan Wan asked, "Ruyi, am I not beautiful?"
"Miss is very beautiful."
"So I have a bad heart?"
"Miss is the kindest person in the world."
Nan Wan frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Then why doesn't he like me?"
"Is Miss referring to Young Master Li?" Ruyi asked. "Isn't Young Master Li infatuated with Miss?"
Nan Wan stroked the sachet without saying a word.
That night, when all was quiet, a dark figure slipped into the west courtyard.
Just as Nan Wan was drifting off to sleep, a large hand suddenly covered her mouth.
She woke up with a start, saw who it was, punched the person, and said angrily, "Are you trying to scare me to death?"
The man took her hand and pressed it against his chest, hugging her and smiling as if seeking a reward: "Did I act well during the day?"
The person who came was Lin Ancheng.
Nan Wan leaned against him, her tone not entirely satisfied: "You acted well, but his reaction wasn't what I wanted."
When Lin Ancheng saw the sachet peeking out from under the pillow, he asked in confusion, "Could this kid really have fallen in love with your ugly sister?"
"I don't know," Nan Wan said, sounding somewhat dejected.
Lin Ancheng grabbed her hand and kissed it: "You seem so unhappy. You haven't actually fallen for him, have you?"
"What nonsense! His status is so lowly, how could I possibly like him?"
"I knew you were just trying to tease your sister."
Lin Ancheng smiled and slipped his hand under Nan Wan's skirt.
