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

Chapter 147

"An Nuan, I'm telling you all this not to make you feel like you owe Ye Jinghuai anything. I just want you to know that Ye Jinghuai's feelings for you are genuine. If you've really gotten over Gu Yan Sheng, if you really don't like Gu Yan Sheng anymore, try accepting him. Actually..." Xiao Nanchen hesitated for a moment.

The words "he's liked you for a long time" still held back in the end.

He felt that was something the person involved should say himself.

He couldn't steal his cousin's lines.

As a facilitator, he could only state the facts.

Anything else about confessions of love should be left for them to enjoy sweetly.

Xiao Nanchen switched to another sentence and said, "Actually he's not as bad as he looks to outsiders. He's not a scumbag."

An Nuan was a little confused.

In her mind, even if she had experienced Ye Jinghuai's success in her previous life, she had never thought of him as a good person, never thought he was someone who would fall in love, much less someone who could be relied upon.

But now.

She admitted she was a little swayed.

Any woman, after experiencing someone else protecting her with his life, would be moved.

She thought, maybe it was just being moved.

But why did she feel stirred?

She was feeling an emotional stirring that she thought she would never feel again.

She looked up at Xiao Nanchen.

Her heart was complicated.

But now.

She was curious, "What's your relationship with Ye Jinghuai?!"

She had clearly never seen Xiao Nanchen interact with Ye Jinghuai before.

But Xiao Nanchen clearly seemed to know Ye Jinghuai very well, and know Qin Jiang very well too.

Between them...it made people feel like something unbelievable was going on.

Xiao Nanchen smiled faintly.

He seemed to have anticipated that An Nuan would ask this question.

He answered smoothly, "My relationship with Ye Jinghuai...I'm sorry, I really can't tell you."

An Nuan frowned.

"But I believe one day you'll know," Xiao Nanchen said firmly, "Ye Jinghuai will tell you."

"..."

Xiao Nanchen gave an apologetic smile and said slowly, "Go in, I think Ye Jinghuai would prefer to see you rather than that tactless Qin Jiang."

An Nuan had to laugh at Xiao Nanchen calling Qin Jiang tactless.

Saying Qin Jiang was tactless...

She was even touched by Qin Jiang's feelings for Ye Jinghuai.

The two of them went back into the hospital room together.

Inside the room, it was still Qin Jiang chattering away.

Xiao Nanchen went right over, "Qin Jiang, it's late, let him rest more, we should head back first."

"Head back? Head back to do what?" Qin Jiang clearly didn't want to, "I'm staying over tonight."

"..." Xiao Nanchen looked at him.

"Where did your mind go?!" Qin Jiang said in disbelief, "Didn't the doctor say a family member needs to stay overnight here? I meant I'm staying."

"Family is here," Xiao Nanchen pointed at An Nuan.

An Nuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Qin Jiang seemed to glance at An Nuan.

Just as he was about to speak.

"Let's go, let's go," Xiao Nanchen directly dragged Qin Jiang out.

Qin Jiang didn't seem too willing.

But in that moment he also seemed to restrain himself.

He finally compromised and said to Ye Jinghuai, "Get better soon, I'll come keep you company first thing tomorrow morning."

Ye Jinghuai gave a sound of acknowledgment.

Xiao Nanchen walked out decisively, practically dragging Qin Jiang, eager to leave sooner.

The door to the hospital room closed behind them.

After Xiao Nanchen and Qin Jiang left, there was just her, Ye Jinghuai, and Hu Feng in the room.

Hu Feng had always been very tactful. At this time, he had already walked out of the hospital room.

It seemed he knew they had things to talk about, so he gave them ample alone time.

Facing the hospital room with just the two of them, An Nuan still felt a little flustered.

She looked at Ye Jinghuai wrapped up like a mummy, and found it a little funny too.

In the moment of finding it funny, she also felt very heartache.

She slowly walked over.

Walking over, she sat by his hospital bed.

She could clearly feel that after she sat down, a certain someone's fingers trembled slightly.

Xiao Nanchen said the last time Ye Jinghuai's hand shook was ten years ago...She didn't know what had happened to Ye Jinghuai ten years ago, but she knew ten years later Ye Jinghuai was willing to give up his life for her!

"I'm sorry," she said, her voice very gentle.

Ye Jinghuai's eyes had been closed, feigning sleep.

Hearing her voice now, he couldn't help but open his eyes.

Opening his eyes, he saw An Nuan's sincere gaze.

His perfect lips seemed to purse lightly.

An Nuan met his gaze and said, "I think I went too far."

Maybe she wasn't even angry at Ye Jinghuai. Maybe she was just angry at herself for not being able to kill Gu Yan Sheng yet and make Gu Yan Sheng be so cocky in front of her, so she was taking her anger out on herself but ended up venting it on Ye Jinghuai instead.

Actually, after arguing with him, she regretted it immediately, but pride...kept her from actively apologizing.

Reborn once.

She had become very selfish.

She was so afraid of being hurt that she protected herself very deeply.

She wanted to make herself impregnable, so she didn't want anyone to crack her hard shell.

And the more someone could threaten her inner heart, the more she would reject them.

The more rejection, the more...out of control.

It seemed to be this way with Ye Jinghuai.

She went on, "Thank you for tonight."

Thank you for saving my life with yours.

"I don't know how to repay you, but..." An Nuan said, "Ye Jinghuai, give me some time. I can't accept you right now. I've actually experienced a lot, a lot of things you probably think are just figments of my imagination, but to me, they're real. Because I've been through so much, I don't dare to readily accept someone, much less unconditionally fall in love with someone. Everything you did for me today, I admit I'm really touched. Maybe if it was the past, before I experienced so much earth-shattering change, I really would have fallen for you on the spot, even if you were a womanizer, I would have been a moth to flame."

Ye Jinghuai's eyes kept watching her the whole time.

Hearing the immense sadness that seemed to be mixed in her seemingly plain tone.

Her throat moved slightly.

She spoke again, "Our relationship now isn't because you haven't done enough, or you're not good enough, it's me, unable to let down my defenses, unable to take off my armor, it's me, still unable to walk out of the shadows of the past, I'm afraid..."

"Okay," Ye Jinghuai suddenly interrupted her words.

An Nuan was startled.

"Okay, I'll give you time," Ye Jinghuai said, his voice clearly very steady.

It didn't sound at all like a man who had just been in a serious car accident that could speak.

"I don't need to know the things you don't want to say, I also don't need to know exactly why you changed so much, I just want to tell you, I'll wait for you."

No matter how long, I'll wait for you.

An Nuan's eyes turned red.

She was really moved by this charming bastard Ye Jinghuai.

This enchanting cheapskate moved her to tears.
