The Rest of My Life

I looked at him in surprise.

He said, "I only approached the Gu family because I noticed that the Gu family had connections with them. I didn't refuse when the Gu family asked me to get engaged to Gu Qiong."

I became more and more surprised. No wonder he said that it was because he was working with the Gu family that he agreed to get engaged to Gudong.

It turned out that he was still trying to investigate the cause of Uncle Zhou's death.

He said, "Unfortunately, GuQiong's elder brother was very wary of me. I didn't manage to grasp too much information, and it just so happened that GuQiong was looking for trouble with you, so I took the opportunity to cancel the engagement."

I looked at him in silence, suddenly unable to eat.

He was so intent on tracking down the events of the past that he could use his marriage.

I couldn't help but think that the reason he asked me to be his shield and sent Ye Nantian's sister away was because he was prepared not to ask for a way out.

But from another perspective, if he had reached a cooperation agreement with the Gu family and his marriage with Gu Qiong had worked out, then he might have missed out on Ye Nanzhou's sister for the rest of his life.

Even now, he was thousands of miles away from his sister...

I admired his rock-like nature, but I also felt a chill.

He can even give up his beloved woman, so why would he care about a shield like me.

I couldn't resist sneaking a peek at him.

His expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

No matter when it was, he would always be calm like this. He was the one who planned the situation, not revealing his skills. This was a person that I couldn't control, someone that I couldn't even guess what was going on in my mind.

I pursed the corner of my lips and withdrew my disappointment as I said softly, "You suddenly broke the agreement with the Gu family. Will her brother discover your intentions?"

Perhaps her brother really did discover something, or else he wouldn't have agreed to cancel the engagement so easily.

Zhou Xun wiped his mouth with a tissue and said lightly, "It doesn't matter, he knows we're not the same type of people."

Even so, if the mercenaries were to be alerted …

Zhou Xun seemed to see through my worry and said, "The three of us have been secretly investigating for ten years. It's impossible for them to not notice us. Moreover, my dad's death might even involve the upper echelons of China. If we don't give up on the search for the truth, they will not let up either. "

I grabbed onto the main point of his words and widened my eyes. "Uncle's death …" Is it related to the higher ups? "

Zhou Xun looked at me and said, "It was just a guess."

I frowned.

There had to be a basis for his guesses, which meant that he must have some evidence in his possession, but it was possible that he had not found out who it was.

In this way, not only will the three brothers have to face the vicious mercenaries outside their borders, they will also have to face the pressure from the upper echelons of the country.

This was too dangerous.

And what Zhou Xun said next made me even more worried.

He said, "I guess that little leader from the past two years came to China to do some activities. He probably doesn't want to continue playing with us."

I grabbed his wrist, my whole heart pounding.

As a result, they couldn't wait any longer and decided to take the initiative.

In that case, wouldn't the situation of the Zhou family be extremely difficult …

This was a battle of life and death. If they lost, not only would they lose, but they might also lose out on the future of the entire Zhou Family.

My mood immediately became so heavy that I couldn't even eat anymore.

Zhou Xun's gaze swept across my face and said, "That's why it is so dangerous to stay by my side. Are you really not afraid?"

I held on to his hand for a long time without saying a word.

Little by little, Zhou Xun was letting me know what he was doing.

And I sensed that he seemed to be waiting for me to retreat.

Available... He was the one who asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend. He was the one who pulled me into this whirlpool.

I suddenly didn't understand him.

Was it his conscience that told me to back off because he didn't think I should be involved?

I looked at him and gave my answer. "I'm not afraid."

"Even if one day, I give up on you for the truth?"

I frowned, but said nothing.

He slowly said, "You heard it. I was willing to get engaged to GuQiong in order to cooperate with the Gu family. I might even …" "Throw him away."

I fell silent.

That's what I've just been thinking about.

I'm not afraid of external difficulties. I'm afraid he'll push me out.

He must have read my mind, so he brought it up.

Not only that, he was forcing me to make a decision.

Could it be … Does he want me to leave now?

I was quiet for a while and finally made up my mind. I fixed my eyes on him and said, "Uncle Zhou, you know I like you, right?"

I had been careful to hide my feelings, but I knew he must have seen through my love for him.

Zhou Xun and I looked at each other without speaking.

I tightly gripped his finger, and tears started to unknowingly roll down my face. "You were the one that kept me by your side, you made me fall in love with you … "You can't just leave me behind like this …"

His eyes were deep and serene, like the endless black sky of a winter night, making people unable to see the past or the future.

My tears still fell from the corner of my eyes in the end, "If you have someone you like, I will take the initiative to leave … But other than that, I won't tell you to get rid of me … "

Zhou Xun looked at me deeply.

After an unknown amount of time, he gently caressed the corner of my eye with his warm finger. "Idiot."

I couldn't hold it in anymore and cried out, "Are you... You've already decided to let me go? "

He slowly caressed my face and said, "No, just the opposite."

I looked at him tearfully.

He gently wiped away the tears on my face and gently said, "I don't want to let you go …" But I don't want you to suffer with me either... So, I'll give you the choice. "

I shook my head vigorously. "But I've already made my decision …."

He held me in his arms and kissed my forehead. He interrupted me and said, "Darling, calm down."

I couldn't keep my calm anymore. I desperately grabbed onto his clothes and said in a sobbing tone, "You're still forcing me to leave …"

He kissed me on the cheek again. "No, it's just that the future is dangerous. I hope you don't regret it when you think about it one day."

I opened my mouth to say something.

However, he tapped my lips with his fingertip and said, "Don't be impulsive. Think about it carefully. I have to go to Vancouver for a week or so, and during that time you can think it over slowly. "

I stared at him.

He kissed me on the lips. "Whatever you decide, I'll support you."

I almost burst into tears.

He had arranged this beforehand. A week's time just happened to allow me to calm down.

And when he comes back, I can just get out of the hospital.

If I stay, I'll go home with him.

If I wanted to leave, he would definitely place me somewhere else.

He was such a person. Even his emotions were plotting against him.

I carried my heart to him, but he still forced me to carve his name into my heart. If you don't want to, then let me go.

But he knew how much it hurt.

More importantly, I am willing to carve his name in my heart and charge through mountains of blades and seas of fire for him.

However, he … But he didn't open his heart to me.

In his heart, he carved the name of another woman.
