The Rest of My Life

My gut told me he wasn't going to see a friend.

Although he had a lot of business in Flower Landing, if it was just business, how would he need to run out in this sort of weather?

I was suddenly worried.

If he were going to see Tao Zhizhou, I would be able to relax a little, but if he was going to see the court and the mercenaries, then I really wouldn't be able to calm myself down.

I wanted to stop him.

But I was also afraid that my emotions would affect him and make things difficult for him.

Therefore, I didn't dare show it in the slightest. I could only pull on his sleeve and softly say, "You …" You have to come back early. "

Zhou Xun lowered his head and kissed my eyes, then he kissed my mouth and said solemnly, "Yes, I will be back before dinner."

He's always been a man of his word and shouldn't lie to me.

I felt calmer.

Then he got up and left.

I could no longer sleep and ran barefoot to the balcony.

With a glance, he could not even see the scenery of the courtyard clearly.

I heard the sound of a car, and then I was out of the yard.

It was Zhou Xun who had left.

I looked back at Rui Rui on the bed. She was sleeping soundly. I thought for a while and then went out quietly.

When I went downstairs, I found Zhou Ning in the hall.

I couldn't help but be astonished. "You didn't go out with Uncle Zhou?"

Zhou Ning was Zhou Xun's trusted aide, and his skills were impressive. This time Zhou Xun might be in danger, so why would Zhou Ning stay behind?

Seemingly sensing my doubt, Zhou Ning said: "Don't worry, Third Young Master brought Little An along."

I was more suspicious.

Zhou An has been following me all this time. Why would Zhou Xun suddenly bring Zhou An out?

Zhou Ning looked at me and said, "Little An is the best in our group. With him around, you don't have to worry."

I was slightly surprised.

I didn't expect Zhou An to have the best kung fu skills. When Zhou An was protecting me, he made several mistakes. I always thought he wasn't that skilled.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was not a mistake. It was merely that he had obeyed Zhou Xun's command and deliberately allowed the water to flow.

Just like Gucci. When he kidnapped me, it was Zhou Xun who told him to hide and deliberately give Gucci the chance to kidnap me.

Just like yesterday, when Aunt Zhou had broken into the lounge for the second time, it was also Zhou Xun who had instructed him to let her pass.

From the looks of it, I have indeed underestimated Zhou An's strength.

But because of this, I became more and more worried.

Normally, Zhou Xun would bring Zhou Ning, but this time he brought Zhou An, who was the best at fighting, along with him … Does this mean that this operation is much more complicated and dangerous than I thought?

I secretly frowned and looked at Zhou Ning, saying, "Do you know what Uncle Zhou is out for?"

Zhou An shook his head.

I looked at him in silence.

He's Zhou Xun's trusted aide, how could he not know about Zhou Xun's situation? Zhou Xun probably told him to keep it a secret from me.

As expected, Zhou Ning avoided my sight.

I couldn't help but sigh.

Just what was Zhou Xun doing? Why did he have to hide it from me?

Perhaps seeing my eyes filled with worry, Zhou Ning paused before saying: "I'm not lying to you. Third Young Master is truly safe."

I stared at him suspiciously.

With his hesitant appearance, how could he possibly see that Zhou Xun was safe?

But I also know that since Zhou An ordered him to keep it a secret, he definitely wouldn't tell me anything else.

So I repressed my worries and doubts.

Zhou Ning brought his bodyguard to the yard, saying he was going to stand guard.

I was surprised.

It was raining heavily outside. It was enough for him and his bodyguard to stay in the mansion to protect Rui Rui and me.

Unfortunately, before I could ask, he had already left.

I was left alone in the hall. The other servants had all gone back to their rooms and were probably taking a nap.

I turned on the TV in the living room and watched in boredom.

Although my eyes were glued to the screen, my heart had already reached Zhou Xun's side.

They were afraid that he would be in danger, afraid that something might happen to him …

After an unknown period of time, Rui Rui woke up in a daze.

Aunt Ning led him downstairs.

He stood on the stairs, rubbing his eyes with his meaty hands, and called to me, "Auntie."

I laughed at once and went to hug him.

He didn't want me to hug him, so he said like a little adult, "Little uncle said that you can't let little aunt hug you, or else you might kick little sister ~"

I pinched his chubby face in amusement and led him to the sofa.

He sat down beside me obediently, and when I brought him the cartoon he smiled sweetly at me.

My heart is going to melt.

Aunt Ning went to the kitchen to heat him up some milk and a small cake, and he thanked her obediently.

He was a bit fat, but Big Brother Zhou had given him daily training schedules. He had a lot of exercise and a lot of energy consumption, so his family didn't give him a diet. They even made him some beef to replenish his energy.

I watched him as he sipped from his milk glass. It was so lovely.

After he finished half of his milk, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He looked up at me and said, "Little aunt, where did little uncle go?"

I was in a trance for a moment before I whispered, "He went out and will be back very soon."

Rui didn't think too much into it and continued drinking the milk.

There was still a circle of milk stains on his lips, but his features were somewhat like Zhou Xun's. I couldn't help laughing as I imagined Zhou Xun drinking the milk.

It was just that after I laughed, I felt a little depressed again.

After Rui Rui finished eating, I accompanied him to the game room to play.

He liked to disassemble military models, and within half an hour he had dismantled a fighter jet and a tank and loaded them again.

The Zhou family members were in the army, but Rui Rui had already shown his love for the military at such a young age.

Not only did he love her, he was also very talented. He was clearly only three years old, but when he disassembled his model, he seemed to have the same talent.

Furthermore, he had been brought along by Big Bro Zhou to train, even his rest time was the same as the army. He would not be cooped up in bed, and there was no need for a nanny to feed him.

I touched his head and asked him softly, "Rui Rui, what do you want to do when you grow up?"

He looked up from the model: "I want to be a soldier like father."

It was indeed the answer.

It seemed like Big Brother Zhou had a huge influence on him.

It's hard work in the army, but soldiers are respectable, and I feel proud.

I said gently, "Rui Rui is awesome!"

Rui smiled even sweeter.

I couldn't help but laugh, too, and gently stroke my belly. If I were a boy, I would only want him to learn from Rui.

He didn't need He Rui to be ambitious, but he should have Rui's tenacity as well as his vision and control of the future.

Rui spent the next half hour disassembling the model, while I read.

In the silence, I suddenly received an unfamiliar text message.

It was from the court.

He said that he knew that Zhou Xun had gone out. If I wanted to know about what happened to my mother, I could go and find him now. He was right outside the villa.

I was amazed.

He … It was actually outside the villa?

Didn't Zhou Xun go to see him? Why was he here, but Zhou Xun was nowhere to be seen?

I was anxious and afraid.

However, with Rui Rui by my side, I didn't dare to show it.

I kissed Rui Rui's forehead and said softly, "Auntie, please go outside and pick up a phone. I'll have Grandma Ning accompany you, okay?"

Rui replied obediently.

I immediately called for Aunt Ning to come in.

After some thought, I ordered two more male servants to stand guard at the door.

After that, I immediately called Zhou Ning back.

Zhou Ning was wearing a raincoat. When he entered, he was almost completely drenched.

I didn't have time to ask him why he had to stay outside. I just handed him my phone and let him read my text.

Zhou Ning scanned through the screen, and his face turned serious, saying: "I'll contact Third Young Master right now."

I nodded.

However, he didn't immediately give Zhou Xun a call. Instead, he warned me, "You must not leave. We still don't know the meaning behind this grand meeting."

Naturally, I wouldn't be fooled.

Although the court used my mother's matter as bait, how could I possibly meet him alone as a dangerous person?

Zhou Ning arranged a lot of bodyguards to protect Rui Rui and me, and then contacted Zhou Xun.

He went to the french window, and I could not hear him clearly. I could only see the thin rain beating on the glass behind him, making it almost impossible to see anything through the fog.

Zhou Ning quickly finished his call, walked back and said: "I'm going to talk to the court. In a while, you and Rui will stay in the hall, don't move."

I hesitated for a moment before saying, "Do you have to go out?"

Zhou Ning nodded, "Yes …" I have to find out what he means, but I can't bring him in. I have to go out and talk to him. "

I frowned.

Even though he said that, in reality, he didn't need to meet with the court.

He could call the court and negotiate with them, or he could just wait for Zhou Xun to return …

But I knew that perhaps he had been ordered to do so by Zhou Xun, and I could not stop him from doing so, so I simply did not say anything.

When he goes out, I'll immediately go upstairs and bring Rui Rui down.

All the servants were gathered in the hall, and the bodyguards were stationed at the entrances to protect us.

I held Rui tightly.

Rui seemed to have noticed the tense atmosphere, not making any noise, being especially obedient and sensible.

I kissed him on the forehead and prayed that Zhou An would be able to control the court.

As for Zhou Xun, he should be back soon …

I actually wanted to call Zhou Xun, but I didn't want to disturb him.

If he had something important to do, and I called him for help, it might disrupt his train of thought …

So in the end I held back.

Just like that, I tensed up and waited for Zhou Ning's progress.

After about five minutes, a gunshot rang out from outside the yard.

My eyes widened.

Rui took my finger and called me softly, "Auntie ~"

I quickly comforted him and said gently, "It's fine. Uncle Anin is protecting us from the outside. Don't be afraid."

Rui complied obediently.

Even though I comforted him like this, I didn't feel confident at all.

I don't know what's going on outside. Did Zhou An and the court end up together...

If they were to fight, would Zhou Ning be able to withstand the attack of the court?

I counted the bodyguards that Zhou Xun had left behind. They were quite numerous and all of them were elites, but the court definitely came prepared.

What should I do if Zhou Ning is unable to hold on?

Should I go out to the court?

What if the court wanted to capture me and threaten Zhou Xun?

All sorts of thoughts flashed through my mind, and I grew more and more anxious.

As the seconds ticked by, I felt as if I were living a long time.

There was no sound of gunfire from outside, so I had no idea what was going on outside.

While waiting anxiously, I received a call from the court.
