The Rest of My Life

I stammered, "I'll get the kitchen to cook more food."

Uncle Zhou looked at me deeply, but he still didn't say anything.

The nearby Aunt Zhou and Xiang Wan were both staring at him, presumably waiting for his answer as well.

They had no intention of leaving.

I was a little anxious. Aunt Zhou looked like she was about to have a heart attack. If Zhou Xun didn't give up, I didn't know what Aunt Zhou would do.

I've been preparing for today's birthday for a long time, and I really don't want to ruin it.

So I shook Zhou Xun's arm, quietly flirting with him.

Zhou Xun's gaze lingered on my face for a moment before he retracted his gaze. "Let's stay."

His manner was rather cold, and I was afraid that Aunt Zhou would be dissatisfied, so I looked over immediately.

Aunt Zhou was indeed unhappy, but Nightfall held her back in time.

So they both stayed.

It was almost noon, and the kitchen had already prepared some food. There was a steak and a snack, both of which were broken off and placed on the table.

I invited Auntie Zhou and Xiang to the evening table.

Aunt Zhou snorted coldly and sat down at the head of the table.

I pretended as if I hadn't seen her dark face. Holding Zhou Xun's arm, I smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, I was the one who cooked the steak. Hurry and have a taste."

Zhou Xun seemed surprised. "You did it?"

I smiled and nodded.

Actually, as long as I did the two dishes in front of him, Auntie Zhou and Nightfall were prepared in the kitchen. After all, I didn't expect them to come.

Zhou Xun seemed to be in high spirits, and as soon as he sat down, he immediately began tasting the dish.

I was a little embarrassed, mainly because the two made in the kitchen looked much better than mine, and I estimated that the taste was also a lot better.

However, Zhou Xun smiled at me. "Delicious."

Even though I knew that he was probably flattering me, I was still very happy. I subconsciously pursed my lips.

Zhou Xun finished the whole steak, and the fruit salad I made. He also ate almost all of it, so he gave me a lot of face.

My heart was sweet.

Zhou Xun's eyebrows curved up as he looked at me with a gentle gaze. "You woke up early in the morning to start this. Darling, it's been hard on you."

I smiled and shook my head.

He reached out and caressed my face. "I like it."

Before I could reply, Auntie Zhou slammed her knife and fork on the table. "Do you even care about your face? Sticky in front of your elders!"

It was probably because of me and Zhou Xun's casual conversation that she started to get angry. Her face turned ashen as she stared at me, as if scolding me for shamelessly trying to seduce Zhou Xun.

I felt a little helpless.

Originally, Zhou Xun and I had planned to go through the two worlds, but it was she and Xiang Wan who came knocking on our door without saying a word …

But I didn't argue with her and remained silent.

Uncle Zhou gave her a bland look. "If aunty feels that it's unpalatable, you can ask the kitchen to make another one."

Auntie Zhou's expression turned uglier and uglier.

No wonder. No matter if she was kind or angry, Zhou Xun's expression was as cold as ever. It was as if a fist had been punched into cotton, and she didn't think it was good for her either.

But I have no sympathy for her.

After all, I had seen her get on her knees for hours when she was making a scene.

Seeing that Aunt Zhou was about to flare up, Wan Xiang suddenly stood up and looked at me. "Miss Nian, I should toast to you."

I couldn't guess what she was thinking, so I just smiled and said nothing.

She raised her red wine cup and sincerely said, "Previously, I was ignorant and offended you. I sincerely apologize to you here, I hope you don't take it to heart."

Actually, I did not prepare any red wine in the beginning. After all, Zhou Xun was injured, so he could not drink. However, because Aunt Zhou and the others were here, I secretly made Zhou Ning open a bottle.

Available... I didn't think to toast my wine to the party and apologize.

Wait!

Is she apologizing to me?

I froze, gave her a stupid look, and then turned back to Aunt Zhou.

Aunt Zhou watched from the side, but did not try to stop him.

So... Apologize to me at night. Did Aunt Zhou acquiesce?

Was the sun rising from the west?

I didn't say anything for a long time.

Aunt Zhou frowned and said, "Little Wan has already apologized to you, why are you still standing there like a fool? Are you trying to put on an act?"

She was forcing me to accept an apology.

I was a little speechless and hurriedly said, "I don't really care about the past anymore. You don't need to think about it too much, Xiao Wan."

This is the truth, not that I am magnanimous. However, Aunty Zhou is Zhou Xun's close relative after all. I don't blame her for anything, and I can only choose to forgive her.

Of course, I still have a knot in my heart. I probably won't get close to Aunt Zhou for the rest of my life, but I definitely won't take revenge on her.

In that case, it would only make it difficult for Zhou Xun to stay in the middle of the group.

"Since Big Sis Nian doesn't care, then let's drink this glass of wine."

I waved my hand and said, "I'm sorry, but my alcohol is allergic to it. I can't drink it …." Don't worry, I really didn't mind it long ago. "

But Nightfall acted as if he didn't hear her, and his voice became more delicate and clear. "If sister Nian doesn't drink it, it means that your heart is still complaining about me."

Me: "…"

Aunt Zhou snorted coldly at the side, obviously dissatisfied with my attitude.

But I really can't drink... At least not today...

At this moment, Zhou Xun picked up the wine cup in front of me and said, "I'll replace her."

Aunt Zhou's expression changed as soon as the words left her mouth.

On the other hand, Wan Zhenghao smiled sweetly. "Alright."

Feeling Zhou Xun's protection, I felt my heart palpitate. He was injured, so how could I let him drink?

I quickly stopped her. "No, your body …"

Before he could finish his words, he had already raised his wine cup and finished it in one gulp.

I watched him drink, and for a moment I was filled with mixed feelings.

Zhou smiled at me and squeezed my fingers under the table, probably to tell me he was all right.

I pursed my lips and was about to say something when his cell phone rang.

As if it were an important call, he gestured to me and got up to go to the study.

I was alone with Auntie Zhou and her daughter in the dining room.

The atmosphere was as awkward as it could get.

However, I am the host now, so it's not good for me to ignore them. I was planning to talk about something with them.

In the end, Aunt Zhou took a step ahead of me and said, "Are you looking down on us?"

Of course not. I'm more or less afraid of her.

I quickly waved my hand.

Suddenly, Aunt Zhou pointed at the glass of red wine on Zhou Xun's seat and ordered, "Drink this glass of wine."

I was stunned.

Was it because I didn't give face to Wan Zhenghao just now that she was still angry?

If it was a normal day, I would just let her calm down.

But today, I really couldn't drink, so I tactfully declined, "Aunt Zhou, I'm sorry, but I'm very allergic to alcohol, so I had to go to the hospital to drink a mouthful …"

"You just don't want it, do you?" Aunt Zhou interrupted me.

I didn't say anything.

She suddenly stood up and walked over to me. Without a word, she opened my mouth and forced me to drink the wine.
