The Rest of My Life

281

Zhou Xun seemed to be startled.

He used his fingers to slowly stroke my face and said, "Darling, don't cry anymore. My heart is about to be hurt by your crying."

I felt even more sad. When had he ever said such sweet things? It was only because he did something that made me disappointed that he managed to coax me.

When he took my hand and placed it on his chest, letting me feel the beat of his heart, I almost burst into tears.

He kissed my fingertips and said in a low voice, "I won't deny that this trip to Switzerland was due to the severe illness of Northface City …"

Hearing this, I cried even harder.

He gently wiped away my tears with his thumb and said, "But there were other reasons why I delayed returning home … I know that Young Master Shen and Captain Tao are actively trying to rescue you. I've also arranged for Little An to deal with the court's underlings, so I have a lot of confidence in being able to save you … And I had one thing to do in Switzerland, so I wanted to go back a little later. " "It's more important, but it has nothing to do with North North."

I frowned.

Other than Ye Beibei, what else could cause him to delay his journey?

Doesn't he know I've been waiting for him to come back?

He lowered his head and kissed my eyes, saying, "There's no reason for Qin Xueman to be missing. I was planning to go to Zurich to deal with this matter."

I couldn't help but be stunned.

Qin Xueman had actually gone missing?

This was indeed a big matter. Could it be that Qin Xueman was captured by the imperial court?

If that was the case, would Qin Xueman's life be in danger?

Although I don't like Qin Xueman, but in the end, Qin Xueman didn't do anything to let me down. She is still of great use to Zhou Xun, so of course I hope that she will be safe.

I looked up at Zhou Xun. Suddenly, I couldn't see his face clearly.

To tell the truth, I was still wondering if he was lying.

Although he didn't lie to me before, he completely tricked me this time when he went to see Ye Beibei.

Zhou Xun's slender fingers slowly slipped from my face to my shoulder before lightly grabbing my hand and saying, "Darling, I'm sorry. I know you're scared, I know you're waiting for me to come back, but I threw you aside for something else, and it's really scary … …" "I was really wrong …"

I burst into tears.

Actually, I didn't mind that he didn't come back to save me. I was angry that he lied to me and ran to see Ye Beibei.

If he went to Zurich because of Qin Xueman's disappearance, I definitely wouldn't be this sad, but he did it for Ye Beibei, so it's different.

Besides, he lied to me.

I forcefully wiped away my tears and looked at him. "Then, do you still like Miss Ye?"

His eyes flashed, but he did not speak.

But from his posture, he should be admitting it.

I lowered my eyes in disappointment.

I remember the last time I asked him that question, he didn't deny it.

At that time, I still felt that he was very magnanimous, but also felt that he was a responsible man. Since he married me, he would be responsible for me.

But after this, I realized how much importance Ye Beibei held in his heart.

As long as anything happened to Ye Beibei, he would immediately rush over.

He would never let go of Ye Beibei.

I like him a lot, and I love him a lot. If it was the past, I might have endured it, as long as I can stay by his side.

But now, my mother's death had been mixed up with his and mine, so I thought it would be better for me to leave for a while.

Thus, I gathered my thoughts and whispered, "I'm sorry, but I've decided to return to the Shen family to stay for a while …" "As for our relationship, I want to think about it …"

Going back to the Shen family was the result of my careful consideration.

I know that other than Shen Zixian, Shen Fang's family would never welcome me back, especially Shen Zi Ruo who pushed me out of the car. She was the direct culprit behind my arrest, so once I returned to the Shen family, she would definitely resist.

But I wanted to find out the secret of my mother's kidnapping, so I had to go back to the Shen family.

I don't want to give up this opportunity. Although I have let Shen Zixian down, but for the truth of the past, I can only make this choice.

I slowly pulled away from Zhou Xun's embrace and said, "Uncle Zhou, I'm very sorry. I just hope that you can understand me …" I really can't face you right now … "

Zhou Xun looked at me deeply and said nothing.

I lowered my eyes and avoided his gaze.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent and somewhat heavy.

I sniffled and fought back tears, trying to soothe my emotions.

After that, I changed the topic and asked, "Can you catch late this time around?"

Zhou Xun also did as I said, saying, "Little An has already caught Ye Wen."

I looked up at him in surprise.

He explained, "Little An was already waiting for them on their way out. The court threw Wan Xiang out as bait and ran off on their own."

I was stunned before I asked, "Did the court run away?"

Zhou Xun nodded.

I frowned slightly. The Magnificent Court was indeed formidable.

In fact, I had a premonition that the court would have a way out.

Since he dared to come to China, he must have been completely prepared.

However, when I heard that he had escaped, I was somewhat worried.

If he wanted the research results in my hands, he wouldn't give up so easily. He would definitely come and find me in the future.

I was hesitating whether I should tell Zhou Xun or not.

Of course I didn't want him to protect me, I just thought maybe the news would be useful to him, since he had been dealing with the court, and he might be able to use it as bait.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard Zhou Xun say, "The young mistress will bring Wen Wan here very soon. You can come and take care of her then."

I was stunned and did not refuse.

I was surprised to be caught so soon.

Of course, this was definitely good news for me. After being arrested this time, I had to think of a way to prevent her from harming me again.

Zhou Xun suddenly said, "It's cold outside. Let's go inside and chat."

I came back to myself and stared at him.

Shen Zixian said, you can't let him in …

I raised my head to look at the weather. It was sunny today, but the north wind was howling and the sun was cold. Even the hot air I exhaled had turned into white mist.

He had flown home from Switzerland for more than ten hours and then immediately rushed over to visit. It must have been hard for him to get here by car …

I stepped aside and let him in.

At the same time, he mocked himself in his heart. Even at a time like this, he still couldn't bear to see him suffer.

Shen Zixian saw Zhou Xun walking in, and was extremely displeased, "Why did you let him in?!"

Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, I hastily stopped him. "Actually, I had something that I wanted to tell you two, so I let him in."

Shen Zixian looked at me suspiciously.

Zhou Xun also looked at me.
