The Rest of My Life

I got up, unable to control my excitement, and ran to him.

Zhou Xun smiled and slowly approached me.

We're going to meet soon.

Only, two steps away from me, Zhou Xun stopped.

I looked at him disapprovingly.

He looked down at his clothes and smiled. "It's wet."

It was because my clothes were wet that I didn't dare to approach me.

My heart heated up, and my eyes became even more moist. I couldn't care less as I ran straight into his embrace.

He stiffened at first, then hugged me so tightly that I could barely breathe.

I hugged his waist hard.

When I found out that he had hidden his collaboration with Tao Zhizhou and left me alone in front of the grand court, I blamed him.

But the moment I saw him, I had no more thoughts. He was the only one left in my head.

As long as he's safe, how could I bear to get mad at him?

I couldn't even speak. I just wanted to be in his arms.

As long as he hugged me, as long as I was in his arms, I would feel like the entire world was lit up by the sun, even if his body was wet and cold to the bone ???

Zhou Xun lowered his head and kissed the tip of my nose, saying hoarsely, "Wife, I've made you worry."

I shook my head and kept looking at his face to make sure he was all right.

He looked pretty good, even though he was wet all over, but he still looked good.

And I didn't smell blood on him.

But after all, he had been drenched by the rain. Who knew if the smell had been washed away? Moreover, he was wearing a coat, so it was impossible to tell if he was injured or not.

I can't rest easy at all.

Just as I was about to ask, Zhou Xun released me.

Then he kissed me again, took my hand, and walked over to Tao Zhizhou.

Tao Zhizhou had been watching us for some time now. "You finally noticed me," he teased as we approached.

The corners of Zhou Xun's lips curled up as he greeted him. "My apologies, I'll go upstairs to change first."

Tao Zhizhou naturally didn't have any objections.

I also smiled apologetically at Tao Zhizhou, and motioned for Zhou Ning to entertain Tao Zhizhou, and then followed Zhou Xun upstairs.

It wasn't that I had to cling onto Zhou Xun, but I was just too worried about him, afraid that he would be injured.

When I thought about how I was going to angrily ask him why he hid it from me when he returned, now that I see him, my heart is thinking about his safety, how could I bear to be angry with him?

Back in his room, I undressed him.

His shirt was wet, and he didn't know what had happened that kept him out in the rain.

I looked him over carefully, from his shoulders to his back to his legs.

There should be no trauma.

I heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhou Xun continued to let me do as I pleased. Perhaps, he had seen through my thoughts. He smiled as he held me in his arms and said, "Don't worry. Darling, I'm fine. I'm not injured either."

I sighed softly.

Fortunately, he's all right, and if he'd been hurt, I'd have thought he'd have been upset and angry at himself for not caring.

I went to the cloakroom and found him some clothes and put them on myself.

He didn't speak the whole time. He just looked at me quietly, his eyes dark and deep like a deep pool.

I couldn't see the emotions in it, but I wouldn't, as long as it was him.

I was going to ask him what was going on, and what was his plan with Tao Zhizhou, but then I realized that Tao Zhizhou was still down there, and now was not the time to talk about it.

After buttoning the last button, I took a step back and smiled. "It's done."

It was clearly just a simple household attire, but when it was worn on his body, it gave off the feeling of a gentleman being as luxurious as jade.

My heart was pounding, and I felt that I was always moving for him.

He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me.

Then he whispered in my ear, "Baby, have you seen enough?"

My face burned.

However, I was confused by his beauty, so how could I retort?

He laughed louder.

I glared at him, but when I met his gentle gaze, I couldn't help but laugh.

Finally, I stood on my tiptoes and proactively kissed him on the cheek. "Let's go down. Don't keep the guests waiting."

Then he let me go and led me downstairs.

But at the door he took me again and kissed me hard for a long time.

When I got downstairs, my face was still hot.

Rui was the first to rush over.

I suddenly felt a little embarrassed. I had forgotten to tell Rui about Zhou Xun and only cared about him.

However, Zhou Xun was soaked before, so it wasn't convenient for him to hug Rui Rui. Now that he had changed his clothes, he could get to know Rui Rui better.

Zhou Xun picked him up.

Rui wrapped his short arms around his neck, sticking close to his face and whispered, "Little uncle, I missed you so much ~"

He was especially calm in front of me. He was obviously scared, but he comforted me like a little man.

Now that he had met Zhou Xun, he was no longer able to conceal his reliance on him.

Now that we have a backer, he doesn't need to hide his fear anymore, right?

Actually, I'm the same as him.

Zhou Xun is also my support.

Only with him here can I be at ease.

Zhou Xun smiled and kissed Rui Rui's cheeks, then said gently, "Good girl, little uncle is back."

Rui nodded and pressed her face against his neck.

Carrying him in one arm, Zhou Xun took me in the other and walked toward Tao Zhizhou.

Tao Zhizhou took a sip of his tea and said with a smile, "I really envy the good relationship between our family."

Zhou Xun smiled without a word.

Tao Zhizhou put down his teacup and said seriously: "Many thanks to third young master for your cooperation this time. If there's anything you need in the future, just say it. As long as it's within my capabilities, I will definitely help."

Zhou Xun gave a faint smile and said: "There is no need to be polite, I am selfish as well. I only hope that when the time comes, Tao Tie will keep his promise."

Tao Zhizhou said, "Don't worry, I won't forget."

He was just short of slapping his chest.

I don't know what kind of riddles they're playing.

It was probably related to this operation.

Zhou Xun patted Rui Rui's head and kissed me again: "I have something to discuss with Team Tao in the study room. You guys play for a while first. If you're hungry, then eat first."

After that, he went to the study with Tao Zhizhou, and Zhou Ning followed.

I turned on the TV and turned Rui Rui into an animated movie.

Rui snuggled up to me and watched intently.

After all, the child's nature was pure. Most likely, it was because of Zhou Xun's return that he felt safe. That was why he was able to relax and enjoy the animation.

My thoughts never calmed down.

There were too many questions in his mind, but unfortunately, he could only wait for Zhou Xun to finish his work before asking.

Half an hour later they were out.

Tao Zhizhou said goodbye to me and Zhou Xun.

It was time for dinner. I hurriedly asked him to stay. "How about we eat dinner before we leave?"

In any case, the kitchen was already filled with food.

Tao Zhizhou tactfully refused. "I still have some matters to attend to. Next time."

He's not the kind of person to pretend to be polite. He came in last night before dinner, and when I asked the kitchen to cook, he didn't refuse.

Looks like he really has something on his mind.

I thought of the court I had just been caught in, and guessed that he was going to interrogate it.

So I did not linger.

Zhou Xun and I walked him to the door.

The corpses in the courtyard had long since been cleaned up, and the entire courtyard was once again at peace.

As it happened, the rain had stopped. It was close to evening, and there was even a sunset glow in the sky. It seemed like tomorrow would be a sunny day.

Thinking about how Zhou Xun returned safely, everything settled down, and my mood brightened up.
