The Rest of My Life

Zhou Xun and I were the only ones left in the courtyard.

I didn't want to let him in. I just stood in the doorway and looked into his eyes.

His eyes were soft and still as he looked at me.

I couldn't stand the stare, so I looked away and asked him softly, "Do you know about running away late?"

Zhou Xun nodded. "Little An told me."

Hearing him mention Zhou An, I couldn't help but be taken aback.

He said, "I contacted Ann before I left Switzerland."

I looked at him in silence.

He also looked at me. "I knew Young Master Shen and Captain Tao would come to save you, so I let Xiao An deal with the court's underlings."

I started.

He explained, "This time, the court brought many people with them to Flower Landing. Some of them followed him to capture you, while some of them were in charge of supporting you. Currently, the reinforcements have all been captured by Xiao An."

So it was like this.

I suddenly understood. In fact, I had thought that he was the one who had ordered Zhou An not to come and save me.

But now, it seems that I have misunderstood.

I felt a little better. After thinking for a while, I asked, "Did you expect me to run away late?"

Zhou Xun did not deny it.

He looked at me for a while and said, "I did indeed leave late on purpose. I also knew that the Magnificent Court would come to Huaxia."

I guess I wasn't wrong.

He continued, "Actually, this trip was part of my plan … It was too obvious that the court was being deported. He might not have dared to come if he had locked Xiang Wan up in [The Emperor]. That's why I intentionally brought Nightingale to Flower Landing, which is also a base for the grand court. Although his old nest was destroyed by me, it is still a place that he is familiar with, and I purposely let my guard down. As expected, he took the bait and ran over immediately. "

I was stunned.

There was actually such a layer.

He was truly a schemer. He even considered where to show his face in this grand court.

But I'm curious, why did you say Flower Landing is the base of the court?

As if he understood my doubts, Zhou Xun said, "Flower is in the south. It is a place that must be passed to the southwest. There are many powers in the southwest. It would be convenient for him to trade with those people."

It was actually for this reason.

Thinking about it this way, I understand. I don't think that after leaving China this time, they would choose to fly and they would probably go from the southwest.

After all, on the way from Flower Landing to the southwest, there were ditches everywhere, and it was difficult for the police to track him down.

As I was thinking, Zhou Xun's gaze fell on my face and he said softly, "Sorry, I was inconsiderate …" I didn't expect to catch you at the party... "I thought that after saving Xiang Wan, the court would immediately leave …"

I shook my head.

After a few seconds of silence, I raised my head and met his gaze. "You're lying."

Zhou Xun was startled.

I bit my lower lip and said, "Actually, you had already prepared everything properly. It was because something happened to Miss Ye that you left without thinking. That's why you let Xiang Wan take advantage of me, right?"

I stared into his eyes as I spoke.

His eyes flashed, revealing an apologetic look.

It seemed like … I was right.

I was suddenly depressed.

He remembered that when Shen Zixian came to pay his respects to his mother, he rejected it. He purposely dragged the time until the day before yesterday, probably for the sake of arranging things.

He had indeed led the court to Flower Landing. However, because the news of Ye Beibei's illness had messed up his plans, he had disregarded everything and gone to Switzerland. That was why he took advantage of this.

Of course, I know he didn't mean to put me in danger. He said he didn't expect to catch me at the party, and I don't think he lied.

But at the end of the day, if he didn't go to Switzerland and stay with me, I'm sure he wouldn't dare to do anything to me late at night.

For a moment I couldn't say what I was feeling.

Although I had expected this to happen, his tacit approval made my heart sink to the depths of despair.

He took a sudden step forward and took my hand.

I involuntarily stepped back, dodging his motion.

His eyes grew dark and he stared straight at me.

I lowered my eyelids and whispered, "I'm very touched that you were able to rush back to save me, but … I have to think about what we should do in the future... "During this time, I will return to the Shen family. After the new year, we will talk …"

I thought a lot about it when I was sitting alone in the lobby of an operation in Tao Zhi Prefecture.

I think I'd better be away from Zhou for a while.

It's not that he didn't come in time to save me, it's just that … I can't face him right now.

Just as I finished speaking, Zhou Xun suddenly hugged me.

His arms were strong and strong, and his embrace was warm.

I almost burst into tears.

But I couldn't let myself be exposed to him. I fought back the urge to push him.

But he held me tightly, not giving me the chance to escape at all.

I couldn't help but sniff and whisper, "You …" "Let me go …"

He turned a deaf ear and hugged me harder.

My waist was almost strangled by him, and I could barely breathe.

He kissed the top of my hair and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Sorry, baby... "I was wrong …"

I didn't know if he was apologizing for my kidnapping, or if he was apologizing for not coming over in time to save me, or … Was he apologizing for him going to see Ye Beibei?

For a moment, my chest felt sore and raw.

I choked with sobs. "You …. Give me some time... "Let me think this through …"

There was no sound from above.

I sniffled and said, "Back then, when you asked me to pretend to be your girlfriend, you said that I could end it whenever I wanted to …"

Before he could finish, Zhou Xun grabbed my chin and forced me to look up.

I was forced to look him in the eye.

His gaze turned sharp, and there seemed to be a trace of anger within it.

I wasn't afraid. "I'm not sure if I can keep up with the contract, but I won't divorce you until the baby is born," I continued. You can also look for a new shield during this time … "

At this point, I couldn't help but cry.

Yeah, from start to finish, I'm just a shield.

I closed my eyes and let the tears flow from the corners of my eyes. "The reason you said you wanted me to be your girlfriend and fiancee was because Grandpa Ye was urging you to …" [I have waited until now. You actually want to protect Miss Ye …] I don't regret what I did, you helped me a lot, you even gave me a child … I'm very grateful to you... I'm just sorry, I can't be the shield anymore... You... I can only go find someone else … "

Zhou Xun held my face, and his eyes flickered with pain. He interrupted me and said, "Darling, I'm sorry. I was wrong …" "Don't cry …"

I cried harder.

He leaned forward to kiss me.

I did not start, but avoided his lips.
