The Rest of My Life

After dinner, Uncle Zhou and his family went to rest, and Uncle Zhou went to look for Aunt Zhou.

Only Zhou Xun and I were left in the dining room. Rui Rui was carried by the nanny to wash up.

Grandpa Zhou said, "Follow me to the study room."

Zhou Xun and I looked at each other.

I thought Grandpa Zhou was going to talk about Auntie Zhou, but in the end he asked Zhou Xun, "Has everything been arranged on the Gu family's side?"

Zhou Xun nodded his head and said: "However, the Gu Clan would not easily let loose."

Grandpa Zhou acknowledged and said, "There are some things that I can't rush."

I was confused, guessing it might be about Gudgeon being sent away, but it didn't sound like it.

Just as he was deep in thought, Grandpa Zhou said to Zhou Xun, "Go and have a talk with your aunt. I have something to tell Nian Bing."

I looked up in surprise.

Zhou Xun looked at me, said nothing, and went out.

I stood up straight, a little nervous. I didn't know what Grandpa Zhou would say to me.

Grandpa Zhou said, "Take a seat."

I sat down stiffly on the couch and felt even more uncomfortable.

Perhaps Grandpa Zhou knew that I was uncomfortable, but he didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "Ah Xun probably didn't tell you. He was brought up by his aunt."

I was surprised that Zhou Xun had not revealed it.

Grandpa Zhou said, "Little Yi was my youngest child. She was spoiled and brought up. She was used to being tyrannical at home. After that, she got married and her temper didn't change. But she was kind to Isao, who was only three when his mother died. Back then, when Xiao Yi was still unmarried, she still felt sorry for Ah Xun. She often played with him and even coaxed him to sleep at night. The first day he went to kindergarten, he went to the amusement park for the first time, and the first time he went abroad, she was always with him. "

So Aunt Zhou's name was Zhou Youyi. It was a very nice name, with a kind of gentleness about her, though it didn't quite match with her personality.

I smiled wryly at the thought of her embarrassing me in front of me.

Now that I heard Grandpa Zhou's explanation, I was even more at a loss.

No wonder when facing Aunt Zhou, Zhou Xun was not only respectful, but also indulgent.

Aunt Zhou was indeed qualified to be in charge of Zhou Xun's marriage. After all, in Zhou Xun's entire life, she had almost assumed the role of his mother.

If that's the case, Auntie Zhou is indeed my mother-in-law …

I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It was a tragedy in the ancient times for a woman that his mother-in-law couldn't bear to see. I'm not much better, even though the relationship between a wife and a wife in modern society has been eased a lot. If it were anyone else, they would have at most moved out and the couple would have been alone. But the situation of the Zhou family is different. The Zhou family is the leader in the circle of the imperial family. Everyone is staring at the Zhou family.

Besides, Zhou Xun probably wouldn't be willing to go against Aunt Zhou.

I was embarrassed for a moment.

Of course I can respect Auntie Zhou in private, but what if she keeps looking for trouble with me?

She is different from GuQiong. GuQiong attacked me, and Zhou Xun will protect me.

If it were Aunt Zhou, I'm not sure if Zhou Xun would have stood on my side …

As he was thinking, Grandpa Zhou continued, "She was quite reasonable before, for the past two years she has been bewitched by some unknown reason, and was wholeheartedly thinking about marrying Little Wan to Ah Xun. Ah Xun did not want to do it. He had clearly refused it, but she did not give up. "

I asked hesitantly, "Why did Aunt marry Little Wan to Uncle Zhou?"

Grandfather Zhou said helplessly, "She thinks that Little Ye is a very good child. Since Ah Xun suffered when he was young, she wanted to find him someone who knows when he is cold and hot." In my opinion, this young mistress is even younger than you, how could she know how to love others?

The Xiao Wan looked indeed a little younger than me. Her face was full of collagen, and there was even the immaturity of a young girl.

However, there were some girls who were naturally gentle and gentle. It was not certain that she would be able to take care of Zhou Xun.

To my surprise, Auntie Zhou actually thought so well about Zhou Xun.

Could it be that the reason why she adopted Xiao Wan was to find a wife for Zhou Xun?

The thought of this possibility only made me more and more terrified.

Maybe Auntie Zhou will never be satisfied with me...

After a moment of silence, I whispered, "Then, grandfather, what should I do?"

Rather than leaving Zhou Xun in a dilemma or making things difficult for him, I might as well ask for some advice from Grandpa Zhou.

After all, Grandpa Zhou could still manage Auntie Zhou.

Grandpa Zhou didn't expect me to ask her this directly. He paused for a moment and then said, "You don't have to be afraid of her. You just treat her like a relative and deal with her."

Relatives?

I thoughtfully replied, "I understand. Thank you, Grandfather."

Since she's a relative, I don't need to treat Aunt Zhou like a mother-in-law.

Grandpa Zhou said, "You can go now. Call Ah Xun in. I have something to talk to him about."

I nodded and respectfully left the study.

Zhou Xun didn't go to see his aunt, but waited outside.

My heart warmed as I smiled at him. "Grandfather called you in."

Zhou Xun took my hand and stared at me.

I whispered, "I'm fine …" You can go now... We'll talk later. "

He let me go, and before he could push the door open, he kissed me on the ear again.

Watching him go in, I touched the spot where he had kissed me, and the corners of my mouth curled up.

At this moment, a pleasant female voice came from behind him, "Miss Nian, may I have a chat with you?"

When I looked back, I saw Little Night standing in the light, staring at me with her big eyes.

She was wearing a blue woolen sweater and a beige cotton dress. She looked gentle and demure. Surprisingly, she seemed like a lady from ancient times.

I guessed why she was looking for me and calmly said, "Sure, you probably haven't eaten yet. Why don't we go to the kitchen and eat while chatting?"

The young woman revealed an embarrassed smile and did not object.

The kitchen had left food for her, and she ate it slowly, delicately, elegantly.

My eating manners were not as good as hers, especially when I was busy with classes. I ate like a wolf, and it was only after a stomachache that I gradually changed my habit of swallowing whole jujube.

Seeing that I was staring at her, the Wan Xiao smiled bashfully. "I really like Elder Cousin Xun. He is the most charming man I've ever met."

That was her first sentence. I was speechless and didn't know how to reply.

However, from her expression, it seemed that she didn't have any intentions of targeting me. At the very least, there wasn't any hostility on her face.

She continued, "I was at the farm with my mother the other day, and I almost fell off when I heard that he was engaged."

I looked at her in silence, waiting for her to continue.

The smile at the corner of her mouth became somewhat lonely, and her eyes even turned watery. She said, "At that time, besides being shocked, I was more sad … "Ever since I can remember, I've been looking forward to becoming my cousin's bride one day."

I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles pinching you.

Is she sharing with me her love for last week's journey?

Available... I am her rival in love...

I couldn't figure out what it meant, so I kept silent.

She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and said, "Miss Nian, I just want to speak with you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you don't mind." She paused for a moment and said, "I used to know that my cousin didn't like me, but I still held onto hope that he would marry me out of respect for my mother. Now that he's engaged, of course I won't be delusional. "

I looked at her. There was a faint sadness between her eyebrows, but her eyes were clear. It didn't seem like she was lying.

If he could really put it down, that would be for the best.

Otherwise, if I had to face Aunt Zhou's challenge and defend her, my head would definitely explode.

I hesitated for a moment before replying, "You're so beautiful and so obedient. You'll definitely be able to find a better one."

It's not a compliment, but that's what I think.

She was indeed very beautiful, especially her pair of eyes that were as gentle as water. It was especially alluring, especially to the point that it could arouse the desire of a man to protect himself.

Even if she's not a beauty, she's Aunt Zhou's adopted daughter. There must be a lot of people lining up to marry her, and I can see that she has a good personality.

Of course, in my heart, Zhou Xun is definitely the best.

However, there were actually many young talents in the capital's family.

Regardless of whether it was Ye Nanzhou or Tao Zhizhou, they were both dragons among men. Their families were famous, they were wise, they were steady, and they were both handsome.

Compared to Zhou Xun, he was not much weaker.

As for Jiang JingChen and Shen Zixian, that was fine. Jiang JingChen would taunt them whenever he felt like it. But with Shen Jingchen's venomous tongue and his haughty arrogance, the two of them were nothing to be concerned about.

The Wan of the Clouds sniffed the air and took the last bite of her food. She slowly swallowed it down before replying with a smile, "I will try my best to forget about Elder Cousin Xun." She put down her chopsticks and held my hand. "My mom also wants someone to take good care of Elder Cousin Xun …" I apologize for her bad attitude. Sis Nian, you … Don't take my mom's words to heart, okay? "

Of course, I wouldn't argue with Aunt Zhou. Even if it was on account of her raising Zhou Xun, I wouldn't really blame her. I'm just a little scared, and I don't know how to deal with a mother-in-law relationship.

Although Grandpa Zhou said that I could treat Aunt Zhou as a relative, that's not a certain degree of confidence. If I don't treat Aunt Zhou warmly, perhaps Zhou Xun will think that I'm not filial to my parents …

I was a little worried, but on the surface, I remained calm. "Aunt treated Ah Xun so well. I'm very grateful to Aunt."

Xiao Wan seemed to want to say something, but she suddenly stopped and looked behind me. "Elder Cousin Xun."

I turned around and saw Zhou Xun walking in.

His expression was light, without any hint of happiness or anger.

The young girl immediately stood up and said, "I …" I'll head back to my room first. "

With that, he grabbed his skirt and ran away.

Me: "…"

Was she afraid of Zhou Xun? However, just now, her face suddenly turned red. She was probably shy.

I couldn't help but sigh. Another woman who was deeply in love with Zhou Xun.

Speaking of which, I'm still a lot luckier than GuQiong and Little Night.

At least I can stay by Zhou Xun's side.

Zhou Xun held onto me and said, "We'll be staying here for the night."

I didn't have any objections. I had stayed here for a period of time, and even though I might cause trouble with my aunt Zhou, since I was already Zhou Xun's fiancee, I couldn't avoid her, so I might as well face it.

But... His expression was rather serious. I couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen?"

He touched my face and said, "Let's talk after we return to our room."

"Oh," I said, and followed him upstairs.

Actually, I had originally wanted to go see Rui Rui, but since Zhou Xun had something to say, I decided to accompany Rui tomorrow. Coincidentally, I also had some things to tell Zhou Xun.

Returning to his bedroom, Zhou Xun said, "Darling, how about we move in during this time?"

I was stunned before I replied, "No problem."

We discussed this matter before, and I agreed to it at the time. After all, the villa isn't safe, and I can even see Rui Rui from time to time.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Aunt and the others will be staying here too."
