The Rest of My Life

Zhou Xun was silent for a long time.

I knew that he didn't have complete confidence in protecting me, because what he was about to do next was too dangerous. He wanted revenge, he wanted to deal with the mercenaries, and he even had to deal with the spies who were more dangerous than the mercenaries.

I looked at him in silence and didn't say anything.

He slowly let go of my hand.

I didn't know what to feel. Was he planning on letting me go?

Although I should be happy, in reality, my heart was filled with a sense of melancholy.

Zhou Xun said softly, "Let me think about it."

I nodded. "Uncle Zhou, this matter isn't your fault. It was originally my fault …" I knew there was someone you liked in your heart from the very start. Back then, I had even solemnly vowed that I would definitely not care about it … It's only been half a year and I already can't take it anymore … I was too greedy, I actually wanted you to have only me in your heart … "Sorry …"

Zhou Xun looked at me deeply with a complicated look in his eyes. Suddenly, he pulled me into his arms.

He hugged me so tightly that he almost hurt me.

This time I let him hold me quietly.

Perhaps … This will be our last hug...

He cupped my face and stared fixedly at me. "Nian, you aren't wrong. Your request is normal …" I'm sorry... "The wrong person should be me …"

I shook my head.

He didn't like me, so how could he be wrong?

When he came to find me, he had already made things clear. It was because I was in love with him that I paid more and more attention to Ye Beibei.

However, he didn't like Ye Beibei the most because of the current situation. It was mainly because of the gap between the two of us that was getting deeper and deeper.

Zhou Xun used his fingers to gently stroke my face. "Nian, wait for me. Don't make a decision so easily, okay?"

I didn't say anything.

He did hurt me in this kidnapping, and I've decided to separate from him.

Even though he was coaxing me in such a soft voice that made my defeated heart waver, I still didn't want to change my mind.

So I really can't promise him anything.

Zhou Xun silently looked at me for a while before softly sighing. "In that case, let's split up and live here. However, let's not reveal this to the elders for the time being, alright?"

I thought about it, but it didn't matter.

Although I had just told him that I didn't want to be a shield anymore, in reality, what I really cared about was not being a shield.

And now that I don't reveal it to the public, it means that he will help me hide it from Shen Fang family. I think it's pretty good.

Zhou Tong was quiet for a moment, then said, "As for your safety …" "Sorry, because everyone knows that you're my wife, and I don't want to find anyone else to replace you, I can only let you continue being tied to my name."

I don't know why, but when he said this, my heart trembled.

It sounded so romantic, tied up with his name.

I assented to his proposal.

Then we ended the conversation.

When we went out to meet the Shen family in the living room, Zhou Xun and I both acted as if the atmosphere between us had eased a lot, but it had not yet reached a level of reconciliation.

This is the result of our discussions.

If they were in a stalemate, Shen Fang would definitely become impatient.

But if we are reconciled, then I have no excuse to stay in the Shen family.

Shen Fang's gaze wandered between Zhou Xun and I as he said earnestly, "As husband and wife, there is no barrier that we cannot cross. We have to understand each other, do you understand?"

Zhou Xun looked at me with deep emotions and helplessness. "I don't blame you for your remembrance. This time, I was wrong. It is only right for me to be angry." After saying that, he turned to Shen Fang and said, "Uncle, I don't want to go back to the Zhou Mansion yet, so I can only trouble uncle and aunt to take care of me for a while."

He was actually giving me face on purpose.

My heart was sore and weak.

He had always been so careful and considerate that I found myself unable to resist his charm.

Shen Fang was overjoyed. He was probably certain that Zhou Xun would not abandon him, and the relationship between the Shen and Zhou families would not be broken. Thus, a smile finally appeared on his face.

Smiling, he patted Zhou Xun's shoulder, his words filled with praise for him. "Ah Xun, you are a very good man. A man should be brave enough to admit his mistake."

Zhou Xun smiled.

Shen Fang lectured me again, saying, "Even though you are in the right, Ah Xun is your husband. You have to be magnanimous."

I pretended not to be convinced and looked away.

Shen Fang said, "This child has a stubborn temper." He turned around to comfort Zhou Xun, saying, "Ah Xun, don't mind it. We'll help you read them out."

Zhou Xun waved his hand and said, "Uncle, don't blame me for it. It is all my fault. I will slowly seek forgiveness."

He looked at me dotingly, as if he didn't care no matter how angry I was.

I saw Shen Zi Ruo's face full of indignation, her eyes shining with jealousy, and found it funny.

Zhou Xun's acting was indeed very good.

Even Shen Fang stopped holding me back.

After that, Zhou Xun said his goodbyes, "There are a lot of things to do at home. I'll come again tomorrow to pay my respects to uncle and aunt."

Shen Fang nodded his head and said, "Hurry up and do what you have to do. Don't worry about your remembrance. We will take good care of her for you."

Zhou Xun hurriedly thanked him.

Before he left, Shen Fang signaled to me with his eyes, "Nian Bing, go send Ah Xun off."

I pretended to be unwilling, but I still followed him.

However, just as Zhou Xun and I took two steps, we heard Shen Zi Ruo say from behind us, "Brother-in-law, why aren't you staying here to celebrate New Year with us? Cousin does not welcome you, but I welcome you! "

I stopped.

Who would have thought that she would brazenly voice her ambitions.

It was one thing for her to expose her thoughts in front of the Shen family. After all, they were family, and even if she found out, she wouldn't be so shameless as to mock her.

Available... This time, it was in front of Zhou Xun … She did not hide her feelings for Zhou Xun at all …

Had she forgotten that Zhou Xun was still my husband?

This can no longer be described as willful. If anyone else were to find out, they would definitely look at her as a joke, a joke for the Shen family.

I wonder how the Shen family raised her.

This time, her mouth was open in front of Zhou Xun. Would she show her love in front of others the next time?

Shen Zixian, who had been silent all this time, immediately scolded her: "Kids, don't get involved in this. Hurry up and go eat!"

Shen Zi opened her mouth in dissatisfaction, as if she wanted to make a ruckus.

However, Shen Fang sternly cut him off, "Shut up!"

Shen Zi Ru shrunk back into silence.

I heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Shen Fang wasn't muddleheaded enough to let Shen Zi create a ruckus.
