The Rest of My Life

I stood there, too nervous to move my arms and legs.

Zhou Xun stood up and walked towards me. "Don't be in such a hurry. Slow down."

I looked at the little guys behind him, a little worried that I'd disturbed them.

"Never mind." Zhou Xun seemed to have seen through my thoughts, and comforted me before saying, "Let's go outside."

He led me out without introducing me to his childhood.

Of course, I didn't care too much about it and quickly followed him.

But when I turned around, I saw that a few of them were looking down on me strangely.

There were a total of five people in the room. I didn't recognize any of them other than Ye Nanzhou and Jiang JingChen.

They were looking at me, and in addition to their curiosity, there seemed to be a trace of hostility.

This puzzled me.

I thought back and made sure I hadn't offended them.

But when I glanced at Jiang, I suddenly understood.

The three of them had the same look in their eyes as Jiang JingChen; there was caution and distaste in their eyes. They probably knew about the fight between Zhou Xun and Ye Nanzhou's sister and were trying to fight for their sister.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

They seem to be enemies together. Ye Nantian was my brother, and he was kind to me.

I could only hope that I would have less contact with them in the future, so as to avoid getting bothersome.

Zhou Xun closed the door and then looked at me, gesturing for me to speak.

I quickly collected my thoughts and handed him my phone so he could see the post.

Zhou Xun glanced at the screen and returned the phone to me. "I already know about this matter. Don't worry, I will take care of it."

I was stunned for a moment before I secretly shook my head in my heart.

That's right. As one of the top aristocratic families in the imperial city, the Zhou family definitely valued public opinion. How could they not know?

I was too anxious just now, so I didn't think of this.

Zhou Xun touched my face and said, "Go back to your room first. I'll be right there."

I nodded and paused. I couldn't help but say, "Grandfather …"

Zhou Xun smiled. "It's fine, don't worry."

Since he said so, I was relieved.

Back in my room, I stood on the balcony, staring down at the half-city, still in a daze.

In the end, not long after, I saw Zhou Xun supporting Grandpa Zhou as he sent off his old comrades.

After a while, the guests also took their leave.

It looked like the dinner was over.

I watched the car go down the hill like a long line in the night, and I couldn't tell what it was like.

Zhou Xun didn't ask me to go downstairs to see him off. I don't know if he forgot me or if he felt it was necessary that I didn't show up.

With a wry smile, I turned and went into the bedroom.

In order to not let my imagination run wild, I opened the WeChat post sent to me by Li Jun. I wanted to see if the OP had appeared, but the post was deleted and I couldn't find the address.

I went online to search and found that all the messages had been deleted.

It was most likely something that Zhou Xun had ordered his men to do.

So fast.

As I was sighing inwardly, the door was suddenly pushed open and Zhou Xun walked in.

With a gentle face, he walked up to me and leaned over to kiss my forehead. "What are you thinking about?" he asked.

I handed him the phone. "Did you ask someone to delete it?"

He said, "I've already told Ah Ning to go investigate."

I whispered, "You …" Who do you think did it? "

He looked at me and said nothing.

I hesitated for a moment before I told him my conjecture, "Miss Gu is the most suspicious one. In my impression, I can only blame her …" "Of course, this is just my idea …"

Zhou Xun replied, "No matter who it is, you don't have to worry. I won't let anyone hurt you."

I opened my mouth and said, "I'm sorry … "I'm just afraid that grandfather might be unhappy after finding out …"

He interrupted me and said, "Grandfather is very happy today. He also likes you a lot." He pulled me up and said, "Come, let me show you something."

I thought he was going to take me downstairs, but instead he just led me to the balcony.

He put his arm around me and let me look into the distance.

I wondered what he was going to show me. Was it the lights at the foot of the mountain?

At this moment, a firework suddenly exploded in the sky, followed by two, then three …

Thousands of fireworks lit up the night sky. It was so gorgeous, so dazzling.

I froze.

The fireworks lasted for about ten minutes, each one seemed to explode in my heart and shake my soul.

I didn't come back to my senses until the end.

Zhou Xun embraced me and whispered in my ear, "Darling, this is my engagement gift to you."

I looked up at him and saw that my vision had blurred.

At some point, I started to cry.

My words were incoherent as I choked with sobs. "I really like it, thank you …"

Zhou picked up my face and gently touched the corner of my eye with his finger. His voice was even softer. "It's good that you like it."

I really hadn't expected him to give me such a surprise.

Initially, ever since Grandpa Zhou announced my engagement to Zhou Xun, I had been in a daze.

I felt like I was just a puppet, carrying out Grandpa Zhou and Zhou Xun's orders.

But that firework just now completely cured me.

I wrapped my arms around Zhou Xun's waist and rubbed my cheek against his shoulder to express my unsettled feelings.

Zhou Xun smiled as he kissed the corner of my lips, "There's something else I need to discuss with you."

I looked at him.

He said, "My second uncle and youngest uncle are both out of the country. My aunt has gone abroad to take shelter for the summer. There's no one home, so grandfather is very lonely. I want to stay with grandpa for a while, okay?"

I was surprised.

What he meant was, do I live with him in the old house with Grandpa Zhou?

As a junior, this request was understandable.

Moreover, Grandpa Zhou was very kind and easy to get along with.

Available... What if Grandpa Zhou finds out that Zhou Xun and I were playing a part?

Perhaps it was because I did not say anything, but Zhou Xun continued, "I called Aunt Ning and the others over. Grandfather also said that he had been to the south before and also liked spicy food."

Since I have already said so, I will definitely no longer object.

Furthermore, I didn't intend to reject it. I was just a bit worried.

I paused for a moment, but then I voiced my doubts.

Hearing that, Zhou Xun grabbed my chin and stared into my eyes. "Darling, I'll say it one last time. We're not putting on an act."

I stared at him.

His eyes were serene as he smirked, saying, "It seems that I have to do something to prove that we are an unmarried couple."

He picked me up, carried me back to the bedroom, and threw me on the bed.

I was so flabbergasted that I forgot to react.

He leaned over and kissed me, and gradually I was lost in his movements.

Then, in a daze, he attacked the stronghold.

But he didn't make it to the end, saying that he had been busy all day and was afraid that I would be too tired.

But even so, he made my waist feel sore and I fell into a deep sleep.

The next day was still clear, and when I opened my eyes, the sun had already risen outside.

I looked at my watch. It was almost nine o'clock.

This is my first morning at the Zhou Mansion, so I can't leave a bad impression on Grandpa Zhou.

Old man's working time is very accurate, early to bed early to rise, perhaps Grandpa Zhou got up at 6 o'clock, but I have been in bed until now.

I slapped my head in frustration.

Zhou Xun's soft laughter drifted over, "Darling, you're awake?"

I didn't see him in the room and thought he was going downstairs, but he suddenly appeared.

I looked at him. His face was still wet and he should have been in the bathroom.

Before I could recover, he leaned forward and grabbed my mouth.

He held me by the tongue, and when I finally separated, my mouth was filled with the fresh taste of toothpaste from his lips.

He touched my face and said, "Get up. It's time for breakfast."

I nodded and quickly got out of bed.

As soon as he got out of bed, he found that his waist and legs were still sore.

Even though I didn't reach that stage last night, there were quite a few tricks to it. Looking back on it now, I felt like my face had turned red.

Zhou Xun noticed my distress and pinched my nose. He picked me up and said, "I'll help you wash up."

By the time it was sticky, ten minutes had passed.

I couldn't help but protest in a low voice, "Grandpa must have been waiting for it …"

He laughed and said, "Darling, you are too nervous. We can be considered newlyweds. As people who have experienced this before, Grandfather will understand … Besides, he would love for us to be in love so much that he could give birth to a grandson as soon as possible. "

Grandson...

I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

You're not married yet, but you're going to have a baby...

Furthermore, my relationship with him wasn't truly unbreakable.

Although he had taught me not to let my imagination run wild with his actions last night, who could say for sure if I would follow him to the end.

Our families are different, our status is different, even our knowledge and experience are different.

More importantly, he still had someone he liked.

If Grandpa Zhou was in a hurry to have my baby, I would probably refuse...

Just as I was lost in thought, Zhou Xun laughed as he pinched my earlobes. "I'm scaring you. My big brother and cousin both gave birth to children. Grandfather will not rush you." After saying that, he pulled me back and said, "Let's go."

I was relieved.

With my condition and my age, Zhou Xun and I are not suitable to have children in the past two years.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

As expected, Grandpa Zhou was already waiting for him at the dining table.

I was so embarrassed that I called Zhou Xun grandpa.

Fortunately, Grandpa Zhou didn't get angry and even gently invited me to sit down.

I looked at the breakfast on the table. There was porridge and steamed buns, also buns and noodles, milk and soy milk.

Grandpa Zhou smiled as he glanced at me. "Ah Xun said that he brought a chef from the south who was very good at cooking spicy dishes. I had her cook a few cold mixes. The taste was really good."

He was probably referring to Aunt Ning.

I replied smilingly, "The food Aunt Ning cooks is indeed very delicious, but it's just a little spicy."

Although I can talk and laugh on the surface, but in reality, I'm very nervous, afraid that I won't be able to answer properly and make Grandpa Zhou dislike me.

Grandpa Zhou gently smiled and said, "I like spicy dishes. In the future, I'll be lucky to eat more."

Then we began to eat, during which Grandpa Zhou would occasionally ask me questions about what I liked to eat, what I read, and what I studied.

I actually knew that Grandpa Zhou had already investigated me, but I was very grateful that he was able to ask me that question again in such a friendly manner.

Unknowingly, I began to relax as well.

The meal went well.

Throughout the whole process, Zhou Xun rarely spoke. He just quietly listened to my conversation with Grandpa Zhou, occasionally picking up dishes for Grandpa Zhou, or pouring milk into my empty glass.

After dinner, Grandpa Zhou let us move freely, and he went out to find his old comrade to swim.

I found it hard to believe that Grandpa Zhou had left us behind just like that.

Originally, I thought that I would play chess with him or chat with him …
