The Rest of My Life

He never turned off his phone, except the last time he went to Africa.

Zhou Xun paused for a moment before saying apologetically, "When I went to see that person, my cell phone was taken away the moment I entered. Of course, the other side didn't bring any communication tools. This was a rule … When I came out and saw you call me dozens of times, I knew you must be scared... " He hugged me tightly and kissed my forehead. "Sorry, darling, it's my fault that I didn't tell you in advance. I made you worry."

I buried my face in his embrace and said, feeling wronged, "I … I was really scared... "Worried and afraid …"

He was worried that something would happen to him, but was also afraid that the court would suddenly rush in.

By then, I was really out of my mind. I could only dial his number in panic, hoping that he would suddenly appear and return to Rui and me.

Zhou Xun carried me in his arms and kissed me on the lips. "It's my fault," he said, "I said, on the tip of my nose and on my forehead. Next time I promise it won't happen again. "

When I thought of the panic, my eyes reddened, and I felt a special lingering fear.

He didn't say anything more, just kept kissing me.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my hand to his lips to show that I didn't care.

His slender fingers slowly caressed the corner of my lips as he gently said, "When I saw that the call wasn't picked up, I immediately called you. However, you didn't pick up …" At that time, I was also very afraid. Although I knew that the Tao Dui was outside and Ah Ning knew the plan beforehand, I was afraid that you would be harmed by the court … Then I had the driver speed up and come back as fast as he could … "

I was stunned.

Did he call me back?

I immediately got up and looked for my phone. When I opened it, there were ten missed calls. They were all from Zhou Xun.

I guess I happened to see one of the court people crawling into the yard, and I was so shocked that I didn't notice the phone.

I was a little vexed. "If only I could have received it earlier."

That way, I won't have to be so terrified … I really didn't want to taste it again.

Then I caught the meaning of his words and couldn't help but say, "You …" Did you overspeed the driver? "

The rain did not stop then. The entire world was dark, and the road ahead could not be seen clearly … It's so dangerous to drive so fast...

Zhou Xun stretched out his arms and pulled me back into his embrace, saying hoarsely, "Because I'm worried about you too."

I felt sweet and tight around his neck.

He took me in his arms and kissed my forehead. "Darling, I promise that I won't let you be this frightened again and that I won't use you as bait again."

I lay on his chest and gently shook my head. "It's fine if I'm worried. The most important thing is that you're safe."

Zhou Xun stroked my hair and hummed.

I whispered, "As long as you stay by my side, regardless of whether I'm scared or not, I won't be afraid."

He looked at me deeply for a moment, then slowly leaned in and kissed me hard.

After that, Zhou carried me to the bathroom to wash and dry my hair, while I lay in his arms, smelling the familiar scent of mint, feeling the warm breath on his chest, and gradually fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, the weather had cleared up.

I squeezed into Zhou Xun's arms, too lazy to get up.

I thought I would have nightmares at night. After all, what happened yesterday afternoon was too scary.

Although Zhou Xun and Tao Zhizhou planned all this, and those bodyguards weren't killed by the court's underlings, those underlings who came to capture me were actually shot in the head by Tao Zhizhou in the end.

I watched them fall before me, blood still splattering my clothes.

But perhaps because I had Zhou Xun by my side, I slept soundly and slept soundly until dawn.

Zhou Xun smiled and kissed me. "Good morning, my wife!"

I couldn't help but smile. "Hubby, good morning."

Zhou Xun, who was carelessly tracing my face with his fingertips, raised his hand.

His eyes turned deep and serene, but his voice became even softer. He coaxed me, "Darling, call me again."

I rolled over and buried my face in the crook of his arm, ignoring him.

He laughed softly and bit my ear. He deliberately said in a hoarse voice, "Good wife, can you call me husband again?"

It was the first time I had ever called him that, and at first I hadn't noticed, because he had called me wife, so I answered naturally.

But now that he had forced me to call him husband, I suddenly felt extremely ashamed.

He kept gnawing at his earlobes, as if he wouldn't stop if I didn't call him.

I couldn't do anything about it, so I could only call out to him in a muffled voice, "Hubby …"

He turned me over and smiled at me, his eyes bright as if they were full of the morning sun.

He didn't expect that just by calling her by her name, she would make him so happy.

Unknowingly, my mood had also become high. I couldn't help but whisper in his ear, "Hubby …" Husband... "Uncle Zhou …"

For some reason, Zhou Xun suddenly and excitedly pressed me down.

Then, before I could react, he attacked me and asked for me.

In the end, I was too tired to even move my fingers. I was carried by Zhou Xun to bathe and then dressed by him.

By the time we got downstairs, Rui was already sitting obediently on the sofa in the living room, waiting for us.

He rubbed his belly and pouted, feeling wronged. "Rui Rui is so hungry ~"

I was especially embarrassed and could not help but glare at Zhou Xun.

It was all his fault for making Rui Rui wait for so long. Rui Rui couldn't get hungry now that he was in his physical condition.

Zhou Xun caught my gaze and the corner of his mouth curled up. He squatted down to hug Rui Rui and said, "Come, let's go eat breakfast!"

Rui chuckled.

The uncles' facial features were very similar, and their smiles were also very similar. It was just that Zhou Xun had an extra set of elegance and elegance, while Rui Rui had an extra set of loveliness and cuteness.

The sun just happened to shine through the French windows, shining on the uncle and nephew, I unwittingly looked.

They were like a beam of light, attracting all my attention.

While eating, Rui Rui could have drunk the porridge with a spoon, but Zhou Xun still fed him.

I found a topic to talk to him and asked him if he had any dreams at night.

The main reason was because he was shocked yesterday, and Zhou Xun and I were afraid that he might still be in shadow.

Last night, Zhou Xun and I even arranged a maid to watch the night, afraid Rui Rui would be scared.

Rui seemed to be in a good mood. After chatting for a while, I knew that he didn't have any nightmares. He slept soundly last night as if he had forgotten what happened yesterday afternoon.

Zhou Xun and I looked at each other.

Zhou Xun nodded slightly. He had probably confirmed that Rui Rui was fine.

I was relieved.

While eating breakfast, a servant suddenly reported that a guest had come.

I'm curious. It's only nine in the morning, why would someone come knocking?

Furthermore, with Zhou Xun's status in Flower Landing, an average person would not have dared to come to the villa.

Could it be that there was news from Tao Zhizhou?

Just as he was thinking this, Shen Zixian's voice filled with energy sounded from the living room, "Zhou Xun, get the hell out!"

Only then did I remember that Shen Zixian came up last night with flowers in his hand.

But today wasn't a weekend, he actually didn't go to the task force and instead came here to cause trouble?

From his tone, it was obvious that he was here to cause trouble for Zhou Xun.

I couldn't help but wonder why he was so angry.

However, he had already ran in. First, he gave me a glance, before rushing up to Zhou Xun and asking: "Why do you want to risk your life?!"

I was stunned.

He was actually angry because he was worried about me.

To be honest, I was a little touched by his words, but I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

He hadn't even figured out the ins and outs of the matter when he came to find trouble with Zhou Xun. This was simply too unfair for Zhou Xun.

I hastily stopped him. "You misunderstood Uncle Zhou. It's not his fault."

Shen Zixian frowned in displeasure, he glanced at me and said, "I haven't even scolded him, yet you stood up to protect him, which side are you on?! I'm venting your anger for you, don't you know! "This is so infuriating!"

I was both angry and amused. I hurriedly comforted him, "I know that you're doing this for my own good. I'm very touched …" Surely you haven't had breakfast? Would you like to sit down and eat with us? "Aunt Ning made a Soup Dumplings, it smells really good …"

Shen Zixian stared at me expressionlessly, as if he was angrier than before.

Me: "…"

Looks like he doesn't eat it.

I wanted to laugh, but I didn't dare show it in front of him. Otherwise, he would be even angrier.

Fortunately, I knew his temper, and I knew he had to go along with it, so I sat him down and asked calmly, "You know this is for me, don't you?"

Shen Zisheng knit his brows and did not speak.

I sighed and tried to reason with him. "If Uncle Zhou didn't use me as bait and didn't let me take the risk, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to catch the court yesterday."

Hearing this, Shen Zisheng's frown deepened, and his mouth also tightly closed.

But I knew he was listening.

I whispered, "I know that you're worried about me. I was also scared yesterday, but you saw that I'm still fine. I'm not hurt at all, so you don't have to worry about me. I'm fine."

Shen Zixian was still indignant, and he even coldly swept his gaze over Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun's expression was indifferent, with no intention of bickering with him.

I laughed.

Shen Zixian was clearly about the same age as Zhou Xun, but he had the personality of a child. Zhou Xun and I were not his younger sister and brother-in-law, but rather elders, and had to take care of him and coax him.

I continued, "There's nothing wrong with Uncle Zhou's way of handling this. If it was you, you would have only allowed me to lead the court to, right?"

This sentence might have given Shen Zisheng quite a shock, he was startled for a moment, then his expression calmed down.

However, he still remained stubborn and coldly snorted, "After saying so much, aren't you afraid that I will blame Zhou Xun? In the end, you're still favoring him. "

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I cast him a sidelong glance and said, "Uncle Zhou is my lover. Of course I would side with him."

Shen Zixian's face immediately stiffened, he was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight with Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun sat calmly in his chair, as if he had not seen his excitement.

When Shen Zixian wasn't paying attention, Zhou Xun even gave me a big thumbs up.

I couldn't help but giggle.

Seeing Shen Zixian look at me coldly, I hurriedly said, "Have some with us, Soup Dumplings. Rui Rui likes it a lot."

Rui Rui raised his head at the right time, and greeted Shen Zisheng with curved eyebrows: "Mhmm, yummy ~ Uncle you eat too ~ ~"

Only then did Shen Zixian open his eyebrows and sit down, but he did not forget to educate Rui and said: "You have to call me Uncle Shen, do you remember?"

Rui revealed a look of confusion and looked at Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun nodded at him.

Rui Rui obediently shouted, "Oh, Uncle Shen ~"

Shen Zixian's face finally revealed a smile.

I sighed inwardly.

He's my cousin. Isn't he Rui's uncle?

I was so touched by the thought of him coming here so early in the morning to back me up, to let me know that my family still cared for me.

Now seeing him deliberately (teasing) Rui Rui, a warm feeling welled up in my heart.

It's just that when I think about what might have happened after my mother left the Shen family, I can't help but feel depressed again.
