The Rest of My Life

Zhou Xun remained silent for a long time.

Instead of letting go of me, he cupped my face in his hands and gently stroked my cheek with his thumb.

The scent of mint on his body almost took me by surprise.

After an unknown period of time, he quietly said, "Good girl, just treat it as me …"

There was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

I was stunned.

Why did I go abroad for him?

I wanted to break away from him, but I fell silent.

He sighed lightly and said, "The matter between me and GuQiong is very complicated. For the time being, I am unable to tell you about it … "Just listen to me obediently and go abroad to study, okay?"

I watched him in silence.

He finally talked about GuQiong, but in reality he didn't explain anything.

I was silent for a while before I whispered, "I don't want to leave Flower Landing. If you want me to go abroad because of my mother's last words, then let me stay. I will go to my mother's grave and explain everything to her." "If you're afraid that I will make Miss Gu unhappy …" I paused. "In the future, I will completely distance myself from you and Miss Gu and not disturb you."

He said that he and Guyon were very complicated, and he said that even if it was for his sake, he hoped I would agree to go abroad.

I think he was afraid Gudgeon would misunderstand.

After all, he had introduced me as his girlfriend in public.

It was only right that Guyon should be hostile to me.

In that case, I'll give him a guarantee.

In the future, I won't appear in front of them anymore, and after a long time, GuQiong will definitely be relieved.

It's no big deal to be a stranger.

In any case, I was already mentally prepared. Anyway, it was just a matter of rescue or being rescued.

Our statuses and statuses are completely different. He is the third young master of the Zhou family in the imperial capital, and if he wants to be like the wind and rain, then he will have to leave Flower Landing sooner or later.

If it wasn't for my mother, we probably wouldn't even have met.

Zhou Xun stared at me.

His eyes were deep and dark, like a sharp sword that was about to pierce through my soul.

I wondered if he could read my feelings and my reluctance to leave him.

Would he be disgusted?

Would he laugh at me for being overconfident in my own heart?

It was a pity that all his emotions were hidden in his dark eyes and could not be seen clearly.

I didn't dare meet his gaze, so I lowered my eyes slightly.

But I couldn't really avoid him, because his long fingers were still on my chin.

He ran his fingertips slowly over my lips, then stopped at the corner of my mouth.

My heart jumped.

He let go of me and stood up. "Think about it carefully."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he continued, "I'll come back to find you in a few days, I hope you've thought it through by then."

I bit the corner of my lip and stared at him stubbornly.

He stared back at me, his voice softening. "During this period of time, I will have Ah Ning follow you."

My eyes widened in disbelief.

Is he monitoring me in disguise?

I felt a little bad, but I didn't dare to show it.

He had already turned around and was walking out.

As I watched his back, I felt an unexplainable ache in my heart.

Could it be that it wasn't enough for me to stay completely away from him and GuQiong? He still wanted to send me abroad …

Is he so worried about me?

I sat dejectedly on the sofa, listening to Zhou Xun's steady footsteps fade down the corridor, and my heart ached.

Zhou Ning and his two bodyguards were still standing at the door, not making a sound.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down. "You guys can come in first."

After all, that was Zhou Xun's order. They did not dare to disobey it, and I did not dare to provoke them.

Zhou Ning smiled and said: "We rented a room next door. If you need anything, just give me a call."

I nodded and agreed.

The Hibiscus Courtyard is a small apartment. It is not suitable for me to live with three men. They would be the best to live next door.

After Zhou Ning and the others left, I sank into the sofa and stared out the window.

Outside, it was completely dark. I lived on the top floor, across the street from the Business Plaza, where the neon lights glittered.

I frowned and thought about it.

Even if Zhou Xun were to ask me again in a few days time, I would still give the same answer.

I will not leave the flower, for I have important things to do.

The first one is Su Yan and Gong Shan. No matter what, I should settle the score with them.

I had a plan in mind.

Grandfather's property is now under my name. I just need to find some time to kick Su Yan out of the company and his family.

But Su Yan will definitely not let this go. He is probably thinking of a way to deal with me.

And I am only one person, it is definitely dangerous to fight against Su Yan.

So I plan to ask Zhou Ning for help.

Zhou Xun placed Zhou Ning beside me. Whether it was monitoring me or protecting me, in name, he would still listen to me.

There was no need to use such a good helper.

I believe that Zhou Xun would not mind either.

The second thing was my mother's death.

According to Gong Shan, my mother may not have committed suicide, it may have had something to do with the Shen family, or it might have something to do with Zhou Xun.

Although it's possible that Gong Shan made it up, since there's something fishy, of course I have to investigate it thoroughly.

My mother is confused about Su Yan's matters, but she is still very good to me. At least, she cares about me most of the time.

What's more … I also felt an indescribable sense of guilt towards my mother.

If I didn't lure Gong Shan to her home, Gong Shan wouldn't have known Su Yan, and my mom wouldn't have been depressed for so many years.

Of course, I can also comfort myself. After my grandfather passed away, Su Yan had already found quite a few women outside. Even if there was no Gong Shan, other women would come knocking on my door.

But Gong Shan was brought here by me in the end.

In any case, I have to figure this out.

However, where should he start?

I don't have a deep understanding of Zhou Xun. All I know is that he is the third young master of the Zhou Family. He is an unfathomable man with a powerful wrist.

However, I have no idea what kind of situation the Zhou Family is in, how much business Zhou Xun normally does, or who he deals with.

I have no idea about the Shen family.

But now that I'm working under the hands of Shen Zixian, maybe I can start from his side.

So I can't lose the internship of the task force. I have to go to work tomorrow.

As for Zhou Xun … For the time being.

If he had nothing to do with my mother's death, then I would never have bothered him...

After coming to this conclusion, my mood immediately became much better.

I smiled to myself as I looked out the window at the neon lights.

When I was with Zhou Xun, I was like a child without a brain. I could only rely on him.

Now that I was separated from him, I was completely awake. My previous determination and boldness had returned, and I was even able to clearly analyze my current situation and make plans for myself.

Maybe it wasn't a bad thing to leave him.

In this world, there was no one who could rely on for their entire life. Otherwise, they would only be able to lose themselves.

Just like my mom, she treated Su Shiyan like a god and lost herself completely in the end. Once Su Yan betrayed her, she would collapse completely.

Therefore, I must guard my heart well and not allow myself to sink any further.

I slapped my face, thinking that tomorrow would be a new day, and my mind would be open.

As soon as I was in a good mood, I felt hungry.

I was about to order some food with the take-out software when there was a knock on the door.

Zhou Ning carried a lunchbox and walked in, saying: "You should be hungry, hurry and eat while it's hot."

He opened the box and found that there were three dishes and a soup inside. The food was delicious and the rice was very fragrant.

I hurried to thank him.

He smiled and motioned for me to try.

I took a bite and instantly widened my eyes. "This is … Aunt Ning's culinary skills? "

Zhou Ning did not deny it and said: "It was sent by Young Master."

I stopped holding the chopsticks.
