The Rest of My Life

A lot of thoughts went through my head.

I really didn't expect Tao Zhizhou to receive those photos and videos.

It should be a grand occasion...

But why did he send it to Tao Zhizhou?

Did he want to use Tao Zhizhou to deal with Zhou Xun?

After all, Tao Zhizhou was a public official. If he knew that Zhou Xun might have harmed someone, he would not sit idly by and do nothing.

So what should I do?

Deny that you haven't seen the videos and photos, or just admit it?

If he were to admit it, it would definitely involve Zhou Xun.

But even if I denied it, Tao could show me the photos and videos, and it would eventually be related to Zhou.

I froze and said nothing.

Tao Zhizhou said warmly, "You don't have to be nervous. Your mother was originally convicted of suicide. If there was no actual evidence, she wouldn't have reopened the case … I just want to know what you think of Wednesday. " After a pause, he said, "I heard Zixian say that your relationship with Young Master Wednesday went wrong because of this matter?"

I looked at him in silence.

Is he suspecting Zhou Xun, so he wants to get some information from me?

After a moment of silence, I said, "I'm sorry, but I don't want to say too much about feelings."

Tao Zhizhou didn't get angry. He nodded and said, "Then let me ask you another question. Do you want to know if those photos and videos are real or fake?"

I narrowed my eyes.

Earlier, I intentionally or unintentionally estranged from Zhou Xun because I wasn't sure if it was true or false.

If Tao Zhizhou knew the truth, of course I'd like him to tell me.

But I don't think he knew either.

I thought about it and nodded honestly.

Tao Zhizhou said, "If there's any news, I'll let you know."

I thanked him and after a moment of hesitation, I said, "You … Are you suspecting Uncle Zhou? "

Tao looked at me for a moment and said, "No, I was just going to tell him."

I stared.

He said, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, I'll have to talk to him before I know."

But what if Zhou Xun was lying?

As the words reached my lips, I fell silent again.

I don't know why, but I don't want Tao Zhizhou to know that I don't trust Zhou Xun.

Thankfully, Tao Zhizhou wasn't interested in what I was thinking, so he just said, "So think about it, do you want to be less honest with me on Wednesday?"

So that was what he meant.

I was quiet for a long time before I said, "I want to talk to him about this after the new year. Is that alright?"

In any case, it would not be appropriate to confess to Zhou Xun at this time.

Because of Ye Beibei, there is already a gap between us. If we were to talk about those photos and videos with Zhou Xun and let him know that I was suspicious of him, it would only get worse.

Moreover, I wanted to take this opportunity to stay at the Shen family for a period of time. If I could make up with Zhou Xun, then I wouldn't have an excuse to go there.

Tao Zhizhou acknowledged and said, "You can contact me at that time."

I quickly replied.

After chatting for a while, I got up to leave and let Tao Zhizhou have a good rest.

Back in the house, I suddenly remembered that I didn't seem to ask Tao Zhizhou who sent him the email.

Judging from Tao Zhizhou's attitude, he probably trusted Zhou Xun.

Even if the court sent someone to sow discord, Tao Zhizhou shouldn't be fooled.

I heaved a sigh of relief.

For the rest of the afternoon, I stayed on the second floor, where my dinner was served by Shen Zixian.

Zhou Xun didn't come looking for me, and Shen Zixian seemed to be busy as well.

He was probably still busy with the court and the evening incident.

I just don't know how it's going to turn out. There's still the grand court.

I couldn't help thinking again about how she had gone missing.

Didn't Zhou Xun say that the Swiss side was his sphere of influence and that ordinary people could not penetrate it?

Perhaps … Did Qin Xueman run away by herself?

What was Zhou Xun going to do next?

In fact, I'm curious as to how far Zhou Xun's revenge plan has progressed.

Half a year had passed, but the Zhou family seemed to be fine.

But it was always calm before the storm.

Perhaps Zhou Xun would make his move soon.

The following days wouldn't be peaceful and the reason he protected Ye Beibei so that he wouldn't be affected.

Thinking about Ye Beibei, I felt terrible in my heart.

Previously, when I was with Zhou Xun, I was thinking that even Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild would be willing to accompany him.

It's a pity that in just half a year, something has happened between him and me.

I was silently disappointed. I suddenly thought of something important. Why didn't Zhou Ning follow Zhou Xun?

He was Zhou Xun's most trusted confidant, a person who had never been half a step away from Zhou Xun.

Could it be … Did something happen to Zhou Ning as well?

I couldn't help but feel uneasy, thinking to find a chance to ask Shen Zixian so that he can scout it out.

It was just that at night when he was about to go to bed, Shen Zixian did not appear. The Shen family's bodyguards came to report that Shen Zixian had gone out and hadn't come back yet.

I was about to go to sleep, but not long after, there was a knock on my door.

He originally thought that Shen Zixian had returned, but when he opened the door, he saw that it was Zhou Xun standing by the door.

I couldn't help but be stunned.

He said, "I have something that I want to tell you."

I lowered my eyelids. "Let's head to the living room."

He did not move.

I glanced at him stealthily and met his dark eyes.

Somehow, I felt like I was being bewitched as I stepped aside to make way.

He lifted his lips slightly and entered the room.

When I came back to my senses and found myself letting him in, I couldn't help but be annoyed.

He sat on the sofa and whispered, "Come, have a seat."

I leaned against the back of the door and looked at him, not moving.

His brows slightly raised as he asked, "Do you want me to hug you?"

I gritted my teeth and finally sat down across from him.

A trace of laughter flashed across his eyes as he said: "The dinner has been settled. I won't look for trouble with you in the future."

I nodded. That was good news.

He said, "Do you remember what I said before? The court values Wan Xiang very much, so I plan to keep her alive?"

The last time I went to the Violet Garden, he did tell me that the grand court was very late, and had even sent someone to save Wen Wan.

He suddenly fixed his gaze on me and said, "Then do you know why I changed my mind?"

I looked at him in silence.

Their eyes met.

His eyes were deep, as if they were filled with deep emotions.

I involuntarily avoided his eyes.

How could I not know? He said it earlier, it was because he caught me late …

Zhou Xun said in a low voice, "Darling, you know very well, don't you?"

I still didn't look at him, and I didn't say anything.

He said, "Baby, for you, I can give up my plan too... "Don't underestimate your place in my heart."

I wrung my hands together.

What did he mean?

Was he telling me that he could change his plan for Ye Bei Bei, and he can do it for me too?

But what's the use? Ye Beibei was always more important to him.

I bit my lip and slowly looked up at him.

His eyes were still gentle.

However, I didn't dare to look straight at him and quickly lowered my eyes.

Fortunately, he didn't continue to tease me. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "Do you know why the court attached such importance to the evening?"

I shook my head.

He said, "Because Xiang Wan is also his half-sister."
