The Rest of My Life

I fell into deep thought.

It was still Zhou An who interrupted my thoughts. He said in a deep voice, "Third Young Master has already punished me for making a decision without authorization and putting your safety at risk. I did not do it right. I hope you can give me another chance. I promised Third Young Master that I would take your life more seriously than anyone else, including myself and Third Young Master. "

I looked at him in surprise.

These words were very shocking. Zhou An giving his allegiance to me was equivalent to giving up one more person who was willing to work for me.

Of course I was happy, even excited.

But... To be honest, I don't think there was anything wrong with Zhou An's reaction …

He was Zhou Xun's trusted aide, and the mercenary leader was also the target of Zhou Xun's pursuit. Thus, it was normal for him to choose to chase after the mercenary leader.

So I hesitated to accept his loyalty.

I'm more concerned about Zhou Xun's attitude on this matter.

He punished Zhou An and left Zhou An to make his own choices.

Once Zhou An returns to protect me, he must be loyal to me.

He's training me to be loyal to him.

Naturally, I was moved by his kind intentions.

Available... Zhou An was one of his trusted aides, so he should have kept him by his side.

After a moment of silence, I said, "Brother An, I really don't blame you. Furthermore, this isn't your fault. It can't be said that I didn't forgive you before. I'm grateful for your care, but I still need to discuss this matter with Uncle Zhou. The main reason is that I feel wronged that you're following me … "You are the most important person to Uncle Zhou. You should stay by his side."

Zhou An stood straight and said, "Third young master has already agreed …"

I interrupted him with a smile, "I will advise him... If you are truly sincere, you can nurture a few capable and loyal people for me. "

Perhaps because he was determined, Zhou An did not insist.

After he left, I couldn't help but think about it.

I guess there must have been something else the day Guyon caught me.

But Zhou Xun didn't seem to want to tell me, and I hesitated for a moment to ask him.

The things he did were so secretive that they couldn't be revealed to me.

When Zhou Xun returned in the evening, I only told him about Zhou An. "I think it's best if he stays by your side. What you need to do is very dangerous. I can't be at ease …"

He gave me a deep look, walked to the edge of the bed, lowered his head and kissed me, saying, "Don't worry, I have enough people by my side."

I shook my head. "Zhou An's skill is even stronger."

Zhou Xun touched my face and said, "It is precisely because of this that I have transferred him to protect you …." I don't want to see you lying in a pool of blood again. "

I moved slightly and took his hand.

He sat down on the edge of the bed and stared at me, his eyes deep and focused. "There may be more of this in the future... Are you really not afraid? "

I shook my head.

As his family, he would be the target of mercenaries if he tried to fight against them in the future.

All this is predictable.

But I'm not afraid.

Even if I was nearly shot to death by Gu Qiong, I was only stupefied by her extreme actions. However, I did not regret offending Gu Qiong just because I was with Zhou Xun.

What I'm most afraid of is... One day Zhou Xun will ask me to leave...

It doesn't matter if he doesn't like me, but if his lover comes back, then I won't even be qualified to stay by his side.

I put my head on his shoulder to hide the loss in my eyes.

Zhou Xun seemed to sigh over my head.

He whispered, "But I'm afraid."

I started.

He lifted my chin slightly, and his dark eyes seemed to meet mine. "What if you get shot again? What if I don't get there in time? "

I opened my mouth.

He pressed his index finger against my mouth and said, "So I have to find you a follower that will give up his life for you. Ah'An is good and loyal to me, and if I let him transfer this loyalty to you, he will do his best to protect you in the future. With him by your side, I can feel more at ease. "

I had guessed his intentions long ago, and I was still too touched to know what to do now that he had said it.

He leaned over and kissed the corner of my mouth, his voice getting softer and softer. "Darling, I will encounter even more dangers in the future. I hope that I won't have to worry about your safety while I go all out …" You can just let me be at ease, okay? "

My eyes were bloodshot, so how could I reject him? I choked with emotions and nodded. "Alright …"

He tapped my nose. "Good boy."

Then she kissed me gently.

I clung to his back, caught up in his rising passion.

In the end, he let go of me, panting.

My cheeks felt hot as I leaned against his chest and muttered, "How about, my hands …"

He leaned on me and sucked heavily on my neck. "Never mind, it's all there."

But I could feel the heat there, and I couldn't bear it.

He bit me hard on the mouth again. "When you recover, see how I'll deal with you."

I thought of how he had tortured me every night, and my heart tightened.

He was already very powerful, and this time, he had been holding back for so long … Will I be killed by him when the time comes?

My whole body tensed at the thought of that.

However … Actually, it wasn't just torture. He would rely on me, take care of my emotions, and lead me and him to enjoy that kind of happiness.

In fact, I was confused at first. I didn't know anything.

He will slowly guide me, and gradually, I can also feel the joy deep in my bones...

I was suddenly startled, and finding myself thinking about that, I buried my face in his arms in embarrassment.

After a while, the servants knocked on the door and brought in their dinner.

Because of his injuries, he couldn't eat spicy food, so Zhou Xun changed chefs and cooked light dishes for me. Aunt Ning was only responsible for cooking my bird's nest and medicinal food.

Xiao Rui was brought by Grandpa Zhou to meet his old comrade, and only Zhou Xun and I had a meal.

Zhou Xun watched me finish the medicinal food before he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

I don't really like this sticky stuff, but he keeps an eye on it himself every time, and I don't even have a chance to kill him.

Ever since the arrival of the flower in the capital, the medicinal food had never stopped.

Although I feel that my body has improved a lot, at least... Even if I was tormented by him every night, I wouldn't have been unable to get out of bed the next day.

But... Drinking it every day was truly terrifying …

Of course, I'm glad he values me so much.

It could only be said that this was a sweet burden.

Just as he was sighing inwardly, Zhou Xun suddenly asked, "Did Zhou An tell you about what happened that day?"

I was stunned.

Then I remembered that Zhou An was one of his trusted aides, and that I would definitely report to him about what happened in the morning. He said why he had failed in his duty, but nothing else was revealed. "

Zhou Xun looked at me.

I wondered what he meant. Was he suggesting that I might ask?

I thought that if he was hiding something from me, it might be related to something more secret, so I didn't dare to ask.

However, since he gave me the hint, I naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. I blurted out, "Uncle Zhou, is Gu Qiong related to the mercenaries?"

As expected, Zhou Xun quickly replied, "I'm not sure if Gu Qiong's operation was related to the mercenaries, but the Gu family was probably related to the mercenaries."
