The Rest of My Life

I froze, then wondered if I'd misheard.

He said he wanted to fall in love with me... What did that mean?

I stared into his dark eyes, confused, unable to speak.

Zhou Xun smiled as he looked at me and pinched my nose. "Why is there such an expression?" Could it be that I like you and make you lose a lot of face? "

Of course not … I just don't believe it.

I knew he was trying to make me laugh, so I bit my lip and forced a smile.

His slender fingertips brushed the corner of my mouth and he said in a soft voice, "I really didn't like you from the beginning …"

With just that one sentence, it made me depressed.

Even though I already knew that he didn't mean anything to me, he admitting it himself still made my heart hurt.

But I kept my head down and waited for him to continue.

He held my hand and gently said, "You're six years younger than me. In my eyes, you're just a young lady that hasn't grown up. I'm not a pervert, so how could I fall for you with a single glance …"

That's true.

I was in a better mood.

He chuckled softly and continued, "I should have told you before, the reason why I came to find you was to deal with Gu Qiong and the few other young masters and mistresses who wanted to marry into the Zhou family. The biggest reason was to make my aunt retreat in the face of difficulties."

I nodded.

He paused and looked at me gently. "I have been together with you for more than half a year …" "Baby, you're cute, you know that?"

I started, then shyly averted my eyes.

I don't know if he was praising me or not, but I was happy.

He said in a gentle voice, "Gradually, I found out that you are worthy of my liking …"

What did it mean to be worthy of his love?

Is he saying that after much deliberation, he thinks he can like me?

Could it be that his emotions could be retracted and released freely?

He may think that my family is no threat to him, or he may think that I am simple to deceive... It's for his own good that he likes me?

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel discouraged.

However, Zhou Xun didn't seem to notice my emotions and continued, "Because of this reason, I wanted you to give me a child …" With children, our relationship should be stronger... I also have a reason to go down with you. "

I thought about what he meant.

He thought I was worth liking and didn't want to let go of me, so he asked me to have a baby to tie me up. He also gave himself a psychological hint that he would continue to be with me for the sake of the baby …

I stared at him in disbelief.

How could he … How can you bet children?

I bit the corner of my lips. "How can matters of the heart be so simple? Do you think that by having a child, we can continue on?" "If that was the case, there wouldn't be so many divorced couples in this world, and there wouldn't be so many children from single-parent families …"

If he doesn't like me, he'll leave me sooner or later, even if I tie him up with a child.

I don't believe that Zhou Xun doesn't understand such a simple logic.

But he still chose me to have a baby.

Is it because he doesn't like me that he has to use children to convince himself to follow me?

I couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Zhou Xun smiled slightly and said, "To a couple who don't have any feelings, this is obviously not right. After all, children are innocent, so how can we let children become victims? But things are different between us... You like me, don't you? "

Me: "…"

It's just a one-sided favor. Who knows, one day, he might even announce the expiration date and ask me to leave …

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard him whisper, "More importantly, I like you a little."

His voice was deep and mellow, originally extremely pleasant to listen to. In addition to the meaning behind his words, I felt as if my whole body had fallen into a wonderful illusion. There were colorful clouds and colorful fireworks inside …

It took me a while to regain my senses.

He … He actually said he likes me?

Although it was just a tiny bit … But it was enough to surprise me.

I stared at him and realized that I was probably too excited to make a sound.

He caressed my hair and looked at me with curved eyebrows, saying, "Before this, I had never thought about the question of whether I liked you or not …" As far as I'm concerned, you've been by my side for the past half year, so how would I think about anything else … "But the last time you asked me, I thought of a lot …"

I took his hand and nibbled at it.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He used his fingertips to scratch my chin and said, "I think I like you …" I already like you, little fool. "

I laughed.

It was like a scene in a dream, and his tone was as doting as if he were in a dream, and my heart was pounding like a deer.

That sweet feeling could not be hidden.

I smiled as tears welled up in my eyes. "Are you speaking the truth?"

He pinched my cheek and smiled. "Baby, what reason do you think I have to lie to you?"

That's true.

If he only wanted to trick me into staying with him, there was no need to lie and say that he liked me. He could use his power to force me, or his money to lure me.

Thinking of this, the sweetness in my heart grew even stronger.

However … Suddenly, I see her face in my head.

Did she really have nothing to do with him?

Taking a step back, even if there really wasn't any ambiguous feelings between them, Zhou Xun's support for her was real. In his heart, she still held some weight.

Zhou Xun would never drive her away just because I cared.

After all, even when Aunt Zhou personally acted all those years ago, she did not let Qin Xueman leave …

I... I'm not sure if Zhou Xun is trying to trick me.

Maybe he left me by his side to cover up his relationship with Qin Xueman …

Zhou Xun seemed to have seen through my thoughts. He gently caressed my hair and said, "You don't have to care too much about Xue Man. Nothing happened between us, not to mention having children."

I looked at him in silence.

He fiddled with my hair and pondered for a moment. "The reason I'm protecting her is because her identity is special."

Everyone in the circle knew that Qin Xueman was the Zhou family's third young master's personal secretary and also controlled Zhou Xun's external affairs. This identity was indeed special …

I remained silent.

He slowly said: "She is actually a spy sent by the mercenaries."

I was flabbergasted.

So Qin Xueman was actually a spy? Then what was she doing by Zhou Xun's side? Was she … Want to kill him?

I immediately grabbed Zhou Xun's arm and said, "She … Did she hurt you? "

If what Zhou Xun said is true, then I shouldn't be worried about them being ambiguous, but should instead be worried about Zhou Xun's safety.

Zhou Xun touched my face and said, "Don't worry, I've already reversed her."

I was surprised.

He explained, "These past few years, she has been providing me information on the mercenaries. Otherwise, my brother and I wouldn't have been able to investigate so smoothly."

So that's how it was.

After that, Zhou Xun briefly told me about Qin Xueman's situation.

Qin Xueman had been sent by the mercenary leader, Wolf, to confuse Zhou Xun. Fortunately, Zhou Xun had the information at the start and was able to control Qin Xueman in time.

For the past five years, he had been very fond of Qin Xueman. It was to the point of disturbing the mercenary's line of sight, so that the mercenary would think that Qin Xueman had already infiltrated the inner circle.

From time to time, Qin Manxue would also provide them with information that was neither painful nor itchy. She never revealed any of it.

The problem arose not long ago, when Zhou Xun and I were engaged.
