The Rest of My Life

I really can't predict whether or not Gujon will end up in mortal danger.

However, since it was Zhou Xun's decision, I did not say much.

Thinking about it again, since Gu Qiong was the young miss of the Gu family, Zhou Xun probably wouldn't do anything to her.

Thus, I retracted the worries in my heart.

Then we went home.

I was so tired that I fell asleep in the car.

Then, in a daze, I felt Zhou Xun carry me back to my room.

When he woke up again, it was already past lunchtime.

I also did not see Zhou Xun in the room.

Downstairs, Aunt Ning told me that Zhou Xun had gone out.

I was a little disappointed, of course, but he was always busy, probably at the company.

Aunt Ning cooked two fresh dishes for me. My appetite recovered a bit, but I also ate a bowl of rice.

When I was done, the doctor came to examine me. My hands and face were almost healed, the scars were gone, and my hands looked the same as usual.

It was a relief.

I would be leaving for the Imperial Capital in a few days. If my face and hands were not normal, Zhou Xun would bring me back to the Zhou Mansion.

For some reason, I suddenly recalled Shen Zixian's words.

He said that the Zhou family was very complicated.

I just don't know what kind of complicated method it is...

I thought about what he had said about Zhou Xun having a lover. Perhaps, I might be able to see him after this trip back to the capital.

Only, Shen Zixian did not reveal who it was, I might not recognize him even if I saw him.

As he was lost in thought, Zhou Ning returned.

He walked up to me and said, "Miss Nian, there are a few things I need to report to you."

I hastily gathered my thoughts and replied, "Please speak."

Zhou Ning said: "Your grandfather's property and company have all been brought back, and the real estate has been taken care of by a lawyer. The villa also has a new servant, the company. We haven't found a suitable professional manager yet."

He didn't expect that in just a few days, he would have settled all these matters.

As expected of Zhou Xun's trusted aide, he was extremely efficient.

As for the company, I also knew that it wouldn't be that easy to find a suitable manager.

I thanked him and paused for a moment. "There were a few elders who started the company with my grandfather. I don't know if we can get them to join us."

Zhou Ning said: "I have already gone to visit them, but unfortunately, they were dealt a lot by Su Yan at that time, so they were not willing to intervene."

My heart sank.

This was indeed Su Yan's fault.

But I couldn't help thinking that if my mother had been tougher, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

Of course, the matter was already in the past, there was no point thinking about it.

I thought for a while and said, "If I really can't do it, I'll just sell out the company …"

Even though I am grandfather's blood and sweat, I am not the material for doing business. It would be better to hand it over to the right person.

Zhou Ning nodded and said: "I understand."

I replied, "There's one more thing that I need to trouble you with."

Zhou Ning listened attentively.

I intend to take out a portion of my grandfather's fortune and settle it with the old men who followed him.

He still needed Zhou Ning's help in this matter.

When Zhou Ning heard this, he said: "Sure, I'll do it immediately."

I thanked him gratefully.

Silence reigned in the hall. At this moment, the sun was shining brightly and the whole room was brimming with light.

I went to the window and put my hand against the glass.

The temperature of the glass was very high due to the scorching sun. However, the air conditioner was turned on in the room, and the only thing that could be felt was the slight heat that came from the palm of his hand.

I was so bored that I stared at the trees in the yard.

In the end, Zhou Xun's car drove in.

He got out of the car and looked at me.

I blinked, almost doubting that it was my imagination.

Why did he suddenly return?

Sunlight shone through the leaves and onto his body, casting mottled light and shadow, making him look all the more elegant and luxurious.

He spread his long legs and approached the gate.

I snapped out of it and ran to meet him.

He walked in, hot with heat.

I smiled. "Uncle Zhou, are you done?"

He also had a faint smile on his face as he took my hand. Have you eaten? "

I nodded.

He said, "Ah Ning told me that the company will continue to look for people. You can rest assured."

I whispered my thanks.

He pulled me along and sat on the sofa. "We might have to return to the imperial capital early."

I was startled.

He said slowly, "Grandfather told me to bring you home in advance. I also have some matters to take care of."

I didn't think too much and replied, "I have no objections."

Anyway, she had already decided to return with him. As his fake girlfriend, it didn't matter if she returned early or late.

Zhou Xun said, "Then I'll let Zhou Ning fix the plane ticket for the day after tomorrow."

I agreed.

He smiled and touched my face.

I touched his palm nostalgically and said, "Uncle Zhou, Miss Gu …" "How is it?"

Several hours had passed, and he didn't know if her medicinal effects were over or what the situation was like now.

Zhou Xun frowned slightly and said, "After we left, I had someone send her back to the imperial capital and handed her over to the Gu family."

I jerked my head up at him.

He actually handed Gu Qiong back to the Gu family …

If the Gu family found a doctor to treat her, it might leave behind side effects. If they found a man to cure her … After all, they were her family, and she probably wouldn't be able to do it.

Zhou Xun's move was truly brilliant.

I was so awed and frightened that I couldn't speak for a moment.

His eyes fell on me. "You think I'm too cruel?"

I bit my lip and shook my head.

He sighed softly, cupped my face in his hands, and said, "But I'm such a person, baby. You have to get used to it."

I was forced to look up and meet his eyes.

His eyes were deep and serene, like a bottomless pit, making it difficult for others to see them clearly.

I lowered my eyelids and whispered, "But Uncle Zhou, when Grandpa's birthday is over, our contract should be due to expire."

There was no time limit on that agreement.

In other words, as long as I or he doesn't want to, I can call a halt to it.

Of course, I knew that Zhou Xun was the only one who had the right to speak.

Zhou Xun was silent.

I didn't dare to raise my head to look at him. My voice became lower and lower as I said, "Actually … I've always wanted to talk to you. "

Zhou Xun remained silent.

I sneaked a glance at him and said, "We're just pretending to be lovers …" Later... Just keep your distance, okay? "

He narrowed his eyes and his face darkened.

I whispered, "If we don't, what is it that we can't figure out …"

Zhou Xun stared at me for a while before saying in a low voice, "If you want to eat something, then run."

For a moment I was stunned, and when I understood what he meant, I stared at him in astonishment.

It was clearly him … He was the one who had been taking advantage of her the entire time!

Perhaps seeing that I had been rendered speechless, Zhou Xun's expression finally eased up. He replied, "Since you are not such a heartless person, I am relieved …" "In the future, don't let me know that you can run away if you want to wipe your mouth …"

I almost laughed out of anger.

It was as if I had betrayed him.

Clearly … He has someone he likes and wants to tease me …

Thinking of this, I secretly sighed and said, "But …" "Who do you think I am? Is it because I'm innocent that I was lied to for fun?"

Zhou Xun looked at me with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

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

If he just wants to play with me, then I must keep my distance.

Even if I liked him the most, I wouldn't be so despicable as to be toyed with by him.

Zhou Xu and I looked at each other for a few seconds before the corner of his mouth curled up. He flicked his finger at my forehead. "Little fool, what nonsense are you spouting?" In your heart, am I really that unbearable? "

I bit my lower lip and said nothing.

He pinched my earlobes and said, "Do you think that with my status and identity, I need to deceive a little girl like you?"

That made sense …

His gaze slowly swept over me. "Tell me, what is it that is worth lying to me?"

Me: "…"
