The Rest of My Life

I think I like Zhou Xun.

I looked up in disbelief and met his dark eyes.

Could it be that he was helping me before because he was preparing for this?

In other words, he had actually planned to use me as a shield since a long time ago?

I had gone from my initial shock to my present blankness, and I could say nothing.

Zhou Xun seemed to be worried about my mood, and didn't say anymore. He only said: "Think about it carefully, we'll talk after you've thought it through."

I said absent-mindedly, "Alright …" "Good night, Uncle Zhou."

Coming out of the study, I was still in shock and confusion.

If he was indeed planning to make me pretend to be his girlfriend since a long time ago, then it would be normal for Gu Qiong to target me.

I smiled wryly to myself.

No one in this world would unconditionally help another person.

Then should I agree to Zhou Xun?

After all, Gu Qiong had already misunderstood me a long time ago. Even if I were to act as Zhou Xun's girlfriend, at most, I would only gain her greater hostility.

And the moment I agree, Zhou Xun will help me deal with Su Shiyan and Gong Shan.

No matter what, I still made a killing.

But … I didn't want to agree.

Because I know something is sprouting inside me.

I think I like Zhou Xun.

He's so good, and every time he's like a deity falling from the sky, how can I not be tempted?

But I can't let this kind of feelings grow, because I know that he and I are not from the same world, and my liking is doomed to end in vain.

Furthermore, my life was a mess, and I had to face my devilish father and my vicious mistress.

I can't give myself a chance to get close to him.

I did not sleep all night.

The next day, I was even a little afraid of seeing Zhou Xun.

Finally I washed up and took several deep breaths before I dared to go downstairs.

In the end, Zhou Xun had already left the room. It was said that after receiving a phone call, he ran out, and Zhou Ning followed him out.

The auntie who cooked was surnamed Ning. During this period of time, I got along quite well with her, and she would also chat about family matters with me.

She smiled and said, "Before you left, sir, you told me to make some Western ginseng because you didn't sleep well tonight."

ME: "…"

He even predicted that I would lose my sleep!

This person is much more terrifying than I can imagine.

I couldn't help but blush and stammer my thanks.

Auntie Ning said with a smile, "Sir is really worried for you. Previously, when Miss Gu came to my house, he did not even look at you properly."

I didn't know what to say, so I buried my head in the soup.

Fortunately, Aunt Ning didn't have a talkative personality, so she just chatted with me for a while before getting busy.

I finished my breakfast and went back to my room.

For some reason, I couldn't calm down.

Sometimes it was because of the malice of Su Shiyan and Su Shiyan, sometimes it was because of the lonely funeral of my mother, and sometimes it was because of the conditions that Zhou Xun had put forward last night …

Just like that, it was only until dusk did Zhou Xun return.

I heard his car pull into the yard and stood up and ran into the living room to wait for him.

When Zhou Xun came in, he did not notice me.

He was listening to Zhou Ning, who was reporting something from behind.

It was already summer, but he was still wearing his white shirt and black trousers. His sleeves were rolled up, and he had unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt.

This outfit, coupled with his unstoppable good figure, was enough to make people scream.

However, his handsome face was expressionless, giving off a feeling of abstinence.

I found my heart pounding again.

Every time I saw him, my heart seemed to beat faster.

To stop myself from thinking too much, I went up to him and called out, "Uncle Zhou."

Then his eyes fell on me and he nodded.

I replied, "I want to talk to you …"

He replied with a 'En' and passed the documents to Zhou Ning. He glanced at me and said, "Follow me."

I hurried after him.

He turned around and said to Zhou Ning, "You come over as well."

I couldn't help but be taken aback.

Since I wanted to talk to him about last night, I naturally didn't want a third person to be present.

But then again, Zhou Ning was his trusted aide, maybe he already knew that Zhou Ning wanted me to be his shield.

I lowered my eyes and said nothing.

Closing the door, Zhou Xun sat down behind his desk and picked up a document to take a look.

He should be very busy.

Embarrassed, I mumbled, "Did I disturb you …"

He looked up from the document with a calm expression and said, "What is it? Tell me."

I hastily replied, "I've thought over your suggestion from yesterday."

Zhou Xun acknowledged, and then indicated for me to continue.

I whispered, "I can't agree to that …"

Even though I needed his help, I decided to reject the temptation.

I was afraid that I would sink deeper and deeper into the pit, and that I wouldn't be able to leave him.

Zhou Xun did not speak.

The study was so quiet that I could hear only my own breathing.

I looked up at him timidly.

He was also looking at me, his eyes dark and unreadable.

I was afraid that he would be angered and think that I didn't know what was good for me, so I hurriedly replied, "You have already helped me too much … "I don't want to trouble you anymore …"

Of course, this was just an excuse. The real reason was something only I knew myself.

I continued, "If you really need a girlfriend, as long as you tell the world about it, there will definitely be a lot of girls who are willing to help."

Zhou Xun still didn't speak, he only looked at me calmly.

I suddenly couldn't continue.

He put down the documents in his hands and said to Zhou Ning: "Give this to her."

I was slightly puzzled.

Zhou Ning handed a kraft paper bag to me.

I took it, and the first things I saw were several photographs.

When I saw who it was, my eyes widened.

All of them were scenes of Gong Shan being intimate with a man, and there were even a few photos of the bed with the bones exposed.

I also know the man. He's our high school friend, called Lu Zhiming, he's from the same place as Gong Shan. It's said that the two of them are still junior high school students, that they both came to Hua Lin at the same time.

I stared at the photo for a long time before I went back to reading.

At some point on the second page, in red ink, was a list of the room openings.

I calculated the date, and it was exactly the same period as Gong Shan's pregnancy.

Therefore, it was very likely that the child in Gong Shan's stomach was Lu Zhiming's.

For a moment, my throat felt hard.

He originally thought that Gong Shan was faking her pregnancy and was trying to provoke my mother, but it turns out that she really had a child.

But the child was not Su Shiyan's.

She was planning to treat Su Shiyan as a big sore thumb and let Su Shiyan raise them for her.

Su Shiyan treated her like a treasure, and the child inside her stomach as his lifeblood. If he knew that she was pregnant with a bastard child, how would he react?

Perhaps … He would still choose to forgive her.

After all, he did not hesitate to use poison on my biological daughter for Gong Shan's sake.

I smiled bitterly.

After a long time, I whispered, "Are you sure about this?"

Zhou Xun glanced at Zhou Ning.

Zhou Ning said: "I'm sure."

I held the photo in my hand and fell silent.

Actually, I had already wanted to find a guy to go to the wedding and pretend to be Gong Shan's boyfriend, to give Gong Shan and Su Shiyan more trouble.

Now it looked like there was no need to find a guy to impersonate him. The adultery between Gong Shan and Lu Zhiming was a foregone conclusion.

But I didn't want to go through with it.

I want Su Shiyan to help me raise the child for Gong Shan. After raising it for a few years, when the time comes when I reveal it, Su Shiyan's expression will definitely be very interesting.

It's just that, in my heart, I'm not willing, why would Su Shiyan completely exterminate me and raise a bastard for her …

In the end, it was my grandfather's money that was supporting them.

My thoughts churned, but I couldn't make up my mind.

Zhou Xun suddenly said: "You have really decided, you don't want to be my girlfriend?"
