The Rest of My Life

I rubbed Rui's head and comforted him.

Rui held my arm, obedient and confused.

Everyone was waiting for Grandpa Zhou's response.

Grandpa Zhou put down his chopsticks and stared at Uncle Wednesday. "If you want to go to the hospital with her, I won't stop you." However, I have already said that she is not allowed to return to the Zhou family. As long as I am here, she will not be able to enter the Zhou family's gate. "

When he said this, not only Wednesday, but Tuesday as well.

It was Tuesday who stopped him with a look in his eyes.

After that, no one dared to say anything.

Fortunately, Grandpa Zhou wasn't really angry. As he played with Rui Rui, the atmosphere at the dining table gradually relaxed.

After dinner, Grandpa Zhou called me and Zhou Xun to the study.

It's not a big deal, Grandpa Zhou just told me to take care of my body.

Then, he glanced at Zhou Xun and said, "If Ah Xun bullies you, you tell me and I'll help you teach him a lesson!"

I thought about it, his family probably said this because they knew Zhou Xun went to see Ye Bei.

His old family was caring for me and standing up for me. In my heart, I was naturally grateful and smiled in agreement.

Zhou Xun stood at the side and looked at me with a thoughtful expression.

Then Grandpa Zhou let me stay the night at the old house.

After all, it's the first day of the new year, and he is also an elder.

Furthermore, it's already night time. If I return to the Shen family in the middle of the night, Shen Fang and the others might start talking.

So I agreed.

After exiting the study, I said to Zhou Xun, "Why don't you prepare a room for me?"

Zhou Xun looked at me deeply and said nothing.

There seemed to be a myriad of words in his eyes, and somehow my mind was thrown into confusion.

After an unknown period of time, he softly said, "No, I don't want grandfather to know that we plan to separate for the time being. You don't want to worry your grandpa during the Spring Festival, do you? "

What else can I do when he brings Grandpa Zhou out? I can only rest my mind on sleeping in a separate room.

The corners of Zhou Xun's lips curled up slightly. "It's getting late. Let's go upstairs and rest."

It was originally a very normal sentence, but when paired with his ambiguous tone, I felt like my ears were burning.

I tried my best to look calm and collected. "I'll go check on Rui Rui first."

He looked at me with a faint smile and said, "Rui Rui has already been brought back to our room by big brother."

Me: "…"

In the end, she could only follow him back to his room.

The room I was familiar with had the scent of Zhou Xun's life, and even the fragrance of mint that was identical to his.

The moment I entered, my chest was actually hurting slightly.

Because I thought I'd never get a chance to come here again.

I stood there for a long time without moving.

Zhou Xun seemed to close the door behind him, but I was still lost in my own thoughts.

He suddenly hugged me from behind and whispered, "Say it."

My heart skipped a beat.

He whispered hoarsely in my ear, "Although I said that I would announce our divorce, I won't really let you go."

I was stunned and didn't quite understand what he meant.

He said, "I'm not really going to divorce you... I just don't want you to get hurt, so I let everyone think our marriage broke up. "

My eyes widened.

So he wasn't really separating from me, but was he trying to create the illusion of our divorce?

For a moment my mood was complicated.

He must be thinking for my safety, right?

In the past, in order to protect Ye Bei Bei Bei, he used Ancient Jade and Qin Xue Man as a shield, and then found me.

Now that he purposely let others misunderstand me and his divorce, of course it was a form of protection for me.

I don't know whether to be happy or to lament.

He … Perhaps there was me in his heart, but compared to Ye Beibei, I was too light.

I slowly pulled away from him and turned to face him. "Let's go get a divorce certificate …" I whispered.

He stared at me without speaking.

After a long while, he sighed lightly and said, "Do you still mind Beibei?"

I shook my head. "It's not just because of her … Our marital status is registered, and we can find out if we have the ability... "

Zhou Xun roughly understood what I meant. With a gloomy gaze, he said, "What you said makes sense …"

I thought he had agreed to my proposal.

However, his next sentence was, "But don't worry, I will think of a way to cover it up."

I looked at him incredulously.

So even if it was possible, he wouldn't want to go through divorce procedures with me?

What's the use of announcing a divorce? His opponent might still target me, and I would still be in danger.

It was likely that Zhou Xun had seen through my thoughts. After muttering to himself for a moment, he said, "Then let's announce that our relationship has broken down …" Anyway, I'm not going to divorce you. "

I frowned.

Why was he so stubborn?

The marriage certificate is just a piece of paper...

He looked down at me and said, "Only by continuing the marriage will I be sure that you won't leave me."

My heart was pounding.

This person … Speaking of love, why do you tease me so much …

It was clearly a fluttery sentence, but I could hear the sweetness in it.

I think my face must be red by now, because I feel hot all over.

His eyes were curved, as if he was pleased with my reaction.

It wasn't easy for me to suppress the throbbing in my heart. I avoided his gaze and said, "I … "I'm going to sleep …"

He didn't say anything. He was still looking at me.

I couldn't take it anymore, so I just went to the bathroom and washed up.

When I came out, he had already spread a blanket on the sofa and said with a smile, "Rest well."

He is such a gentleman that I am more moved than ever.

After falling asleep, I felt an indescribable emptiness in my heart. Perhaps it was because I used to fall asleep in Zhou Xun's embrace, but now that I was in the same room, I had to be separated by a distance …

I can only keep telling myself to get used to this emptiness and loneliness.

When he woke up the next day, the sun had already begun to shine in his bed, and Zhou Xun was not in his room.

When I went downstairs, I found that everyone had already had breakfast. Only Zhou Xun was waiting for me.

He came up to them with a smile and explained, "Second Uncle and Third Uncle went to their mother-in-law's house. Big Brother and Second Brother have matters to attend to, only Grandfather and Rui are home.

I was a little embarrassed, mainly because I was too late.

Zhou Xun accompanied me to eat breakfast. I planned to inform Grandpa Zhou before heading back to the Shen family.

However, before he could go find Grandpa Zhou, Zhou Xun's subordinates had arrived.

Of course, Ye Nantian was one of them.

Seeing him, I couldn't help but think of Ye Bei Bei. I felt a little awkward in my heart.

Of course, I'm not angry with him, but it's hard to avoid some goosebumps.

Ye Nanzhou greeted me with friendliness as usual.

I smiled back and greeted him.

Then I noticed that Wenchu had not brought the stream with him this time, and after a moment's hesitation I asked him about it.

"She's preparing to go abroad," he told me.

I knew that Brook was going to go abroad, but I asked him just to find out what he thought of the brook.

It's a pity that his attitude is indifferent, so I can't ask too much.

Afterwards, the few of them went to the study room to discuss some matters. I thought about it and decided to stay.

Otherwise, these people would have definitely discovered the abnormality between Zhou Xun and me. They might bring trouble to Zhou Xun at that time.

So I sat in the hall. Coincidentally, Grandpa Zhou had something to do so he asked Rui Rui to play with me.

Not long after that, Ye Nantian came out of the study room.

He came right up to me.

From the looks of it, he has something to say to me.
