The Rest of My Life

After seeing Tao Zhizhou off, Zhou Xun and I returned to the main hall.

At this time, Rui finished watching one of the cartoons, Zhou Ning was currently playing with him.

When he saw me and Zhou Xun, he immediately smiled, looking extremely adorable.

Zhou Xun smiled and hugged him, and said: "Rui Rui is definitely hungry, right? Come, let's go eat! "

Rui cheered.

Zhou Ning and I looked at each other and laughed.

This was the atmosphere of a sunny day. Everyone's tensed nerves had relaxed.

Zhou Ning also sat with us in the restaurant. I took care of Rui Rui, while Zhou Xun and Zhou Ning discussed the company's matters.

After listening for a while, I realized I couldn't understand at all.

After eating, Zhou Xun and I purposely played with Rui Rui in the game room.

The main reason was because Rui Rui was mentally afraid.

It wasn't until nine in the evening that Zhou Xun personally bathed Rui Rui and then we slept together. I read two fairy tales to Rui Rui, and only when Rui Rui was completely asleep did Zhou Xun and I return to the bedroom.

I couldn't help but sigh secretly as I finally had the chance to speak to him alone.

Although what happened today made me very tired, but I had no intention of resting at all.

I didn't beat around the bush. "Uncle Zhou, are you really going to meet your friends?"

Zhou Xun was in the middle of removing his watch when he heard my words. He smiled and replied, "Yes, a business friend."

I was a little taken aback.

I originally thought that meeting with his friends was just an excuse, but I didn't expect him to actually go meet with them.

As if seeing my confusion, he undid his watch, took off his coat, and suddenly approached me.

At the moment, he was wearing only a work vest and baggy pajamas. He was extremely sexy.

I couldn't help but follow his movements.

He stopped in front of me and lifted the corner of his mouth. He deliberately said in a hoarse voice, "Darling, I know you must have a lot of questions. Don't worry, I'll explain them to you slowly."

As he spoke, he picked me up and carried me to the bed, where he pressed me down.

I was suddenly at a loss what to do. I felt like I was about to smoke.

This is too much of a violation of the rules. Even though I know that I can't resist his charm, I still deliberately provoked him.

Fortunately, he was only teasing and did not actually take action.

He rolled over onto his back and laid me on top of him.

He wrapped me in his arms.

Lying on his broad, solid chest, I almost couldn't help but blush and bite him.

But I was too curious about his plans with Tao Zhizhou, so I tried to restrain myself, warning myself not to be confused by his (beautiful) looks.

He chuckled and deliberately whispered in my ear, "Huh? What did Baby want to ask? "

I couldn't help staring at him.

In exchange for his chuckle.

After laughing, he pinched my ear and continued, "Actually, I haven't contacted that person for a long time. He suddenly called me and said that he knew a secret of the court and wanted to invite me to meet him."

I was stunned.

The other party had used the court as a bait, and he was fooled?

But he had always been cautious. How could he be so easily deceived?

As if he had seen through my suspicions, Zhou Xun smiled and said, "That person is actually in cahoots with Golden Court. His goal is to lure me out."

I involuntarily grabbed his wrist.

If he knew it was a court trick, why did he still go?

The thought of him going out in the rain and fog at noon made my heart clench.

He slowly stroked my hair and explained to me, "I had known about their plan in advance, so I decided to go with them and they would stay in the villa with me. The court originally wanted to lure me away using the strategy of luring a tiger out of its lair, but when it saw me leave, it was only natural that he would come to my door. It turns out that Team Tao and I did not guess wrong, and Magnificent Court did indeed come to the villa. "

There were too many twists and turns.

They were all powerful figures indeed, and their stomachs were filled with schemes.

However, hearing this, a great doubt arose in my heart.

Judging from his words, the reason why the court had spent so much effort to swindle Zhou Xun away was to look for me?

Available... Why would he want to meet me?

He said he knew the truth about my mother leaving the Shen family, but he couldn't have come to me just to tell me the truth.

Besides, if he really only wanted to tell me the truth, he could have told me over the phone that there was no need to see me.

However, he clearly brought a large group of his subordinates with him, planning to barge into the villa without any hesitation and even fire at them in battle.

Then he tried to take me away.

I suddenly remembered that the court had said that he would bring me back intact after we were done talking.

Now that he thought about it, he guessed that he was going to take me to see someone, and he wasn't sure if that person would let me go, so he used the word 'perhaps'.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

I pulled myself closer into Zhou Xun's arms, and that made me feel better.

Zhou Xun seemed to understand my fear and hugged me tightly.

I lay on his chest and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Zhou, did you say that the court was targeting me?"

Zhou Xun paused before replying, "It should be."

I asked, puzzled, "What is his motive for capturing me? To threaten you? "

This time, Zhou Xun did not speak.

I raised my arms and looked down at his face.

There was a complicated look in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking about.

I asked him another question, "He said that he knew about what happened in the Shen family that year …. Do you think that's true? "

This time, Zhou Xun didn't hesitate. He kissed my chin and said, "Darling, you should be clear that the grand court is a mercenary. No matter what he does, it must be for the financial backer."

I froze, not quite understanding what he meant.

He continued, "People like them don't care about emotions. They only talk about money."

I frowned.

In other words, the reason why the Magnificent Court came to look for me was to have someone behind his back pay him to do that?

"There are two possibilities. One is that the court doesn't know the truth, and the person behind him made him pretend to be someone who knows about it to lure you in. The other possibility is that the person behind him leaked the truth to him, and he used it as bait to lure you out …" No matter what the case may be, the reason the court is here to arrest you is likely to be because they are here to collect money for their work. "

Although his analysis was shocking, there was no logical problem.

I was stunned.

Could it really be as he had guessed, that the grand court was merely a person who did things with money, and there was actually an envoy behind the scenes?

After a long while, I found my voice and said, "He caught me …" Wasn't it to threaten you? "

Zhou Xun shook his head, "He wants to threaten me. He has plenty of ways to deal with it, so why must he target you?"

I was stunned, then suddenly remembered that Zhou Ning had told me before that when the court's men saw Rui Rui, they didn't react at all.

Logically speaking, Rui Rui was the great-grandson of the Zhou family, and everyone in the Zhou family doted on him. Whether they were threatening the Zhou family or Zhou Xun, they were all useful.

It seems that the grand court is only targeting me?

If someone really did pay for me...

Is the other party trying to harm me?

I felt a chill at the bottom of my heart.

Zhou Xun held me tightly and said slowly, "I feel that he is targeting you because there is one more thing … …"

I bit the corner of my lip and waited.

He said, "Do you remember that time in New York when you were looking for your aunt in a grand court?"

I nodded.

He paused before continuing, "The last time he went to look for his aunt, it was to ask about you. His target in China was also you, probably an employer asking him to keep an eye on you …" As for the purpose, I have yet to find out. "

I was appalled.

So the last time I came into contact with Aunt Zhou, it was to investigate me?

I thought he was after the Zhou family...

Zhou Xun stroked my face and said, "And because of this, after knowing the grand court's plan, I agreed to cooperate with Team Tao."

I stared at him.

He gently said, "Rather than always being on guard against him, it would be better to just lure him out. Everyone is in the open, so he won't be able to attack you in the dark."

I couldn't help but rub his neck. It turned out that everything he did today was for me.

However, who was the one who harmed me?

The other party is in the dark, but I don't even know who the enemy is. This is too dangerous.

Zhou Xun seemed to have sensed my fear. He stroked my back and kissed my lips. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Leaning against his chest, I suddenly had a strong feeling that maybe... This matter was related to the Shen family.

Otherwise I can't think of anyone against me, and I can't think of a mercenary like the court.

I recalled that my grandfather had always been kind to others and that there would never be an enemy that would harm me.

As for Su Yan, his social circle was just around the corner, and he couldn't have any contact with someone like the court.

That leaves only the Shen family.

Apart from that, I can't think of anyone else who would try to catch me.

I also thought of another crucial point. I remember Zhou Xun saying that when my mother committed suicide, he saw a mercenary at the side. And when Wu Mei died, there were mercenaries present as well …

Coincidentally, during this period of time, my mother's life was also exposed …

The Shen family, my mother, mercenaries … It all matched.

I felt a chill run down my spine, and my lips quivered. I could only hug Zhou Xun and absorb the warmth from his body.

Zhou Xun tightened his arms around my grandmother.

After a long while, I finally managed to calm down and asked in a trembling voice, "Uncle Zhou, you said that …" Could this have something to do with the Shen family? "

Zhou Xun seemed to be stunned.

I told him my guess.

After he finished listening, he muttered to himself, "Perhaps your intuition was correct … But I'm not sure, so far I haven't found any traces of the Shen family. "

I frowned.

Suddenly, she remembered that Gong Shan had said that someone wanted her to frame the Shen and Zhou families … And the person behind this was a mercenary …

Perhaps … There was another power behind the mercenaries, not the Shen family?

I just felt my head go numb.

Zhou Xun caressed my face and said, "I hope that you will be able to come up with something. I also want to know why the court is against you. If not, I will always be on tenterhooks."

My heart moved, and I held him tightly by the waist.

He kissed me on the cheek and said nothing more.

I fell silent, too, but my mind couldn't calm down.

I felt as though I was in a thick layer of fog, unable to clearly see what was happening around me. I only knew that the road ahead was definitely dangerous, but I was completely unaware of who was causing it for me.
