The Rest of My Life

I frowned.

Previously, it was a mess, and Shen Zixian left with the guests. When he left, I didn't think that he would actually leave behind the necklace.

But I didn't want to accept this gift.

If he gave me the gold, I might even consider...

I thought for a moment, then replied, "How about I give the necklace to Li Jun?"

He replied very quickly, "No."

This is too decisive...

I resolutely replied, "Didn't you already give me the necklace? I will give it to Li Yao, so you have no right to object."

However, just as he sent the message, Shen Zixian called him.

Fortunately, I drove a vibration. When she heard the noise, she frowned and went back to sleep.

I got up quietly and went to the balcony to answer it.

Shen Zixian's cold voice came from the other side, "Don't be nosy, do you know?"

I choked on his words and said, "I just like Qingyao and want to give her a necklace. What can you do to me?"

Maybe it's because I found out he's my cousin, but I lost all my previous wariness towards him. Instead, I felt very close to him, and my tone of voice was no longer as formal.

Shen Zisheng's tone sounded rather helpless, and said: "About the matter between me and her, don't interfere."

I exclaimed, "About the matter between you and her ???." What is it? So there really is a situation between you two, isn't there? "

There was no sound from the other side.

I was very excited and hastily said, "Quickly tell me, do you like Li Yao?" If you don't like her, why did you kiss her so hard... "I've seen you kiss her several times already, don't deny it ???"

Perhaps I've drawn too many paintings, Shen Zisheng decided to change the topic and said: "You should think about yourself, when will you return to the Shen family? You must think carefully."

When I mentioned this matter, I felt a little annoyed. I wanted to continue the conversation back to Qingyao, but unfortunately, he wasn't fooled.

He said, "I'll come find you in a week. You have to give me an accurate answer."

I don't have to wait a week, I thought. I've made up my mind by now.

But I was going to ask him about what happened that year, so I couldn't tell him so directly.

Then he hung up.

In the end, he didn't even mention the necklace, as if he had made up his mind to give it to me. However, this gift was still too valuable, and he forbade me from giving it to Li Jun.

When she returned to her bedroom, she opened her eyes in a daze.

She took my hand and said hoarsely, "Speak, what's wrong with you? Can't you sleep?"

"I'm fine, I just received a call." I crawled under the covers and lay down next to her.

She put her arms around me and whispered, "Don't think too much. Today is your wedding day. You should be happy."

She didn't seem to catch my words. She must have been half asleep and half awake, thinking I was in trouble and trying to comfort me with her instincts.

Even though I was asleep, I was still so concerned about me. I felt both amused and touched, so I hurriedly agreed.

She patted my back as if to soothe me to sleep.

Maybe it was her breath that made me feel warm, but I slowly fell asleep.

Halfway there I had a dream about me.

She said that she was abandoned by the Shen family, so she didn't want to return to the Shen family.

I woke up with a start.

It had only been less than half an hour since I received Shen Zixian's call. The weather was still sunny outside, and Li Yao was still sleeping soundly.

I was surprised. How could I dream about my mother?

Then I thought, maybe it was because I didn't want to go back to the Shen family, so I dreamed that my mother had the same attitude as me.

This was called daydreaming.

As for my mother saying in her dreams that she was abandoned by the Shen family, that was also because I suspected the Shen family.

However, what was the truth behind my mother's departure from the Shen family?

When I think again that my mother is dead, no matter what the truth is, my mood goes downcast.

I recalled that Shen Zixian had always said that my mother might have been killed...

Maybe he did find out something?

Suddenly, I couldn't sleep.

In the blink of an eye, Teng Qingshan saw that she was sleeping soundly. He was afraid that he would wake her up, so he ran to the balcony to take a breath of fresh air.

The sun was still resplendent, but the winter wind was a little cold. With the wind blowing on me, I was able to calm down.

I looked into the yard next door.

The dining room was in the yard next door, and through the french windows I could see people gathering and drinking.

Some of the guests were sitting in the yard with glasses in the sun. Occasionally, they could be heard chatting.

Everyone had smiles on their faces, and the scene was very lively.

I couldn't help but laugh at the thought of my wedding to Zhou Xun.

I glanced casually at the wall, where several couples were whispering.

Initially, I was also curious, but after a quick glance, I unexpectedly saw that Qin Xueman and the Magnificent Court were among them.

They were talking together, and if I didn't pay attention, I would have mistaken them for a couple who'd snuck out on a date.

I couldn't help but frown.

Although Qin Xueman was sent by Zhou Xun to meet with the court, and it was normal for the two of them to talk together, my intuition told me that they might be plotting something.

While I was thinking, both Sherman and Magnificent Court raised their heads and looked in my direction at the same time.

I was surprised.

They must have sensed my gaze.

This is too amazing. I was still quite a distance away from them, so I didn't alarm them. In the end, they still discovered me.

However, it was understandable as they were mercenaries after all. Regardless of whether it was their reaction speed or their counter detection ability, they would be good enough.

I couldn't see their expressions clearly, but I felt that their eyes were sharp, making me feel a chill down my spine.

Just as I was hesitating whether I should greet them, Qin Xueman suddenly raised her hand and shot a headshot at me.

Are you threatening me? Or was he warning me?

I was confused.

The court raised a glass to me from a distance.

These two people ??? He was truly fearless.

However, they were truly capable. Otherwise, why would Zhou Xun spend so much time and effort to set up a trap for them?

I was a little worried that Qin Xueman would suddenly go crazy and attack me, but also worried that there would be some kind of plot in the court.

Luckily, I immediately saw Zhou An.

He was patrolling downstairs, and although he was a wall away from her and the court, he seemed to know they were there. He looked up and gestured to me not to worry.

From the looks of it, Zhou Xun should have been prepared.

I heaved a sigh of relief. I still wanted to ask Zhou Xun how he was going to deal with the court. Was he going to let the court and Qin Xueman have a fair and open meeting?

Magnificent Court and Qin Xueman were still standing there, staring at me.

I stopped trying to greet them and went back into the bedroom.

Since everyone knows this, there is no need for me to maintain etiquette.

After being frightened by the court and Qin Xueman, my depressed mood from earlier became a lot better.

But when I saw Zhou An, I suddenly remembered something else.

The first time Aunt Zhou broke into the lounge, Zhou An wasn't present, so it wasn't really a dereliction of duty. However, Aunt Zhou broke into the lounge a second time and even successfully interrupted my conversation with Shen Zixian ???

Why didn't Zhou An notice it?

Or ??? He had actually discovered this long ago, yet he deliberately allowed Auntie Zhou to enter?

He only listens to Zhou Xun's orders. Do you think that the second time Aunt Zhou broke into the lounge, she was actually allowed to enter by Zhou Xun?

When I thought of this possibility, I was stunned.

Zhou Xun, he ??? Why did you do that?

It seemed that in the evening, other than asking about the Magnificent Court and the matter with Qin Xueman, he also had to mention this matter.
