The Rest of My Life

Zhou Xun immediately cupped my face and asked, "Darling, what's wrong?"

The voice was unnaturally soft.

I sniffed and shook my head.

It would be unfair for him not to tell him the truth and keep him in the dark.

Even if he were to cancel the wedding, it would be better than him finding out about it later and abandoning me.

However, when I was about to say something, I remembered Ye Nantian.

He … What on earth was he thinking?

Even though he and I did not make any sort of agreement, I did not strongly agree to break it to Zhou Xun at the time. If I had just turned around and told Zhou Xun about it, it would have been inappropriate.

I lowered my head and didn't say anything.

Zhou Xun was still coaxing me gently, "Did Brother Chen let you down just now? You're not alone right now. You have a baby in your belly. "Be good, don't cry, just let your husband avenge you."

I felt sweet and sour.

He seems to be holding me in his hands, but is his heart really with me?

I hesitated for a moment before finally mustering the courage to pull his sleeve. I raised my head to look at him and asked, "Uncle Zhou, can I ask you about Bei Bei's matters?"

Zhou Xun was taken aback.

His gaze sharpened in an instant, and he stared at me in silence.

My heart sank.

It was just mentioning Bei Bei, and this was his reaction. If he knew that something had happened to Bei Bei, then he would immediately run over to find her.

After a long while, his gaze finally eased up and he asked, "Did Brother Chen tell you something?"

I bit the corner of my lips and didn't answer his question. Instead, I continued to ask, "You … Do you still like Beibei? "

Zhou Xun slowly caressed my face, but he looked over my shoulder and out the window, as if he was lost in his memories.

I did not disturb him, but waited quietly for him to speak.

After a long while, he said softly, "Darling, you don't have to worry about Bei Bei. Bei Bei and I have never started anything, and we won't have anything to do with each other anymore."

I looked at him in silence.

His eyes turned to me and met mine.

I lowered my eyes.

His eyes were clear and bright, but it didn't seem like he was lying.

However, based on Ye Nanzhou and Jiang JinChen's tone of voice, I am certain that there is something going on between them.

Perhaps the two of them had a good impression of each other and had some feelings for each other, but for some reason, they did not expose her. Later on, when something happened in the north, Ye Nantan sent her out of the country behind Zhou Xun's back, and he misunderstood that she had left without saying goodbye.

When I had finished, I asked Zhou Xun, "What if Bei Bei comes back? Don't you want to go on with her? "

This time, Zhou Xun answered very quickly as he said in a low voice, "She won't be coming back."

I felt a dull pain in my heart.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue with Bei Bei, but he felt that Bei Bei would not return, so he didn't hold out any hope …

I endured the heart-wrenching pain and whispered, "Why do you think she won't come back?"

Did he know that Ye Nantian was hiding it from him?

He caressed my face and smiled at me. "She's settled abroad. I heard she has a boyfriend and is getting married soon."

I suddenly remembered that the night after my return from Haicheng, he had been drunk and had whispered to me sadly that she had a boyfriend.

Back then, I misunderstood that he was jealous when he saw Qin Xueman with a man. Now that I think about it, it should have been because he heard that Bei Bei had a boyfriend that he lost control and became drunk, right?

Ye Nantian probably lied that Bei Bei was getting married because he wanted Ye Xiao to forget about Bei Bei.

Thinking deeper, maybe Zhou Xun was determined to propose to me because he had given up...

The suspicion sent chills down my spine.

I clutched my chest, which looked as if it had been cut countless times by a knife, and was gurgling bright red blood.

He … He really did like Bei Bei …

My hands were clenched into fists, my nails digging into my palms.

It wasn't easy for me to calm myself down. I raised my head to look at Zhou Xun and said, "If Bei Bei is not married, then she must have contracted some serious illness to deceive you …" Will you go to her? "

Zhou Xun met my gaze in silence.

My heart sank.

He … You must have guessed the truth, right?

Even if I didn't say it out loud, he was so smart that he would have already heard what I was saying.

I bit my lip, waiting for his decision.

His eyes were so dark that I couldn't see the bottom of the pool. I couldn't see any emotion in his eyes.

It was so quiet in the carriage that I could almost hear my heart beating, so nervous, so confused.

The mint fragrance of Zhou Xun's body still lingered on the tip of my nose.

Normally, this familiar smell would make me feel safe, but today it made me feel uneasy and even more sad.

After an unknown period of time, Zhou Xun suddenly laughed.

He pinched my nose and chuckled, "Idiot, I already have you. With our baby, how could I go find someone else?"

I stared at him.

His face turned serious, and he said in a low and calm voice, "Darling, if one day Bei Bei really returns, I won't allow you to flee, and I won't allow you to abandon me …" You came to get me, to keep me by your side, you know? "

I was completely stunned.

He … What did he mean?

Did I understand that once Bei Bei returned, he would still choose Bei Bei? But he didn't seem to want to be reunited with Bei Bei, so he urged me to catch him.

But... Why?

Didn't he like Bei Bei? If so, he should be very happy to be with Bei Bei …

I stared into his eyes.

Unfortunately, his eyes were too deep, making it impossible for anyone to see what he was thinking.

He ran his fingers through my hair, then his fingertips slid down my face and onto my arm. He held my hand tightly and said softly, "Baby, no matter what happens in the future, I won't give up on you and the baby …" Don't leave me, okay? "

I stared at him.

He … Was this a promise?

Even if Bei Bei recovered and came back to find him, he wouldn't abandon me?

Should I trust him?

He had always kept his word, but when it came to matters like feelings … How can I let myself? It's all my own body, my heart can't help but myself.

Perhaps, at this moment, I could trust his sincerity.

His eyes were open, not like he was lying.

My tears unknowingly flowed down my face as I said in a choked voice, "…" "Alright."

This is an agreement between us.

I don't think I'll leave him in the future, whether it's North North or any other woman, as long as he doesn't bring it up on his own.

Taking a step back, even if he breaks his promise and chooses Bei Bei, or perhaps he abandoned me in the end, I won't blame him.

For the moment, at least, he was sincere.

Of course, there was my selfishness mixed in with it, because I loved him so much that I couldn't bear to stay away from him.

Although Bei Bei is very pitiful, but I am not the third person. Today, I did not tell Zhou Xun about the truth, so it can't be considered as harming her.

As the big brother, Ye Nantian is hiding Zhou Xun from us. What right do I have to get involved?]

Although Zhou Xun had already guessed the truth from my words, but … It wasn't confirmed, was it?

I thought, burying my head in Zhou Xun's lap. "I like the creek," I said, changing the subject.

Brook was Wen Chu's fiancee. Among them, Wen Chu could be considered the most black-hearted. He seemed gentle and refined on the surface, but in reality, he was the most shrewd.

The two of them looked like a perfect match.

It's a pity I heard they were playing their own games. Maybe Wan-chu didn't like the silly sweetness of the stream.

Zhou Xun laughed and said, "Chu was in an awkward situation. This fiancée of his was arranged by his stepmother."

I suddenly understood.

Perhaps it wasn't that he was dissatisfied with Brook, but that he was indifferent to her because she might be with his stepmother.

I couldn't help but sigh. There are quite a few secrets within aristocratic families.

The Wen family could be considered an illustrious family, with many famous figures. As the grandson of Wen Chu, logically speaking, he should enjoy a myriad of favors, but he still had to be on guard against his stepmother.

Even the Zhou family, Big Brother Zhou, and Uncle Tuesday showed signs of contending for power.

The thought of Auntie Zhou gave me a headache.

When he heard that she had recently been restricted from entering the family, he even personally came over to apologize to Grandpa Zhou. However, Grandpa Zhou didn't receive him and made it clear that he wanted to distance himself from the family.

Because of this, Auntie Zhou could no longer come to the Zhou Mansion to cause trouble.

The reason why the house was quiet during this period of time was because it lacked the commotion caused by Aunt Zhou.

However, I didn't relax. Instead, I felt uneasy.

Zhou Xun and I are going to have our wedding soon. Even if the Zhou family and Aunt Zhou have broken off our relationship, but after all, Aunt Zhou has raised Zhou Xun. If Aunt Zhou insists on going to the wedding, how could the Zhou family reject her?

He still didn't know what kind of tricks she would play when the time came.

However … This was also the problem that he would have to face in the future … I think Zhou Xun and Grandpa Zhou already had a plan in mind …

I withdrew my thoughts and raised my head from Zhou Xun's embrace. With a smile, I looked at him and said, "Uncle Zhou, I am very happy today."

Ignoring Bei Bei, Zhou Xun formally introduced me to him today, and admitted my identity in front of his brothers. To me, this was indeed a huge surprise.

Zhou smiled and caressed my cheek. He didn't say anything.

I lowered my eyes.

His heart … Perhaps it had already been taken over by Bei Bei …

When we got home, we all pretended that nothing had happened.

When Grandpa Zhou asked if we were having fun, we both smiled and nodded.

However, we didn't look at each other anymore. Zhou Xun excused himself to deal with the company's matters and went to the study. I accompanied Rui Rui to take a bath and tell him a bedtime story.

Rui fell asleep, but I sat on the edge of the bed and didn't move.

It was dark outside, and the dim light of the yard fell on the window. I thought I saw a fine drizzle in the sky, adding to the sadness of the quiet night.

I couldn't help sighing softly.

In any case, since he had chosen to trust Zhou Xun, he did not want to get into an awkward situation with him.

I took a deep breath, got up, turned off the bedside lamp, and quietly walked out.

When he returned to his bedroom, Zhou Xun had already washed up and was currently sitting by his bed, reading a document.

I walked over and got on the bed and knelt beside him.

He put down his papers and looked at me quietly.

I snuggled into his arms and wrapped my arms around his neck.

He tightened his arms around me and kissed the top of my head. "Baby, what's wrong?"

I shook my head and rubbed his shoulder. "I'm a little tired. Can you carry me to take a bath?"

He did take me to the bathroom, and he helped me all the way, and when he was done he carried me back to bed.

Then I fell asleep in his arms, and he hugged me from behind, put his hands on my stomach, and fell asleep.

I woke up in the middle of the night and found no one around.

I sat up and looked around. Zhou Xun was standing on the balcony, smoking a cigarette.

His back looked lost.
