The Rest of My Life

Zhou Xun walked over and grabbed my hand. "Your hand is very cold. You were outside just now, weren't you wearing gloves?"

I came back to myself and bowed my head in embarrassment.

It was warm in the car, and I forgot for a moment that it was winter. I forgot to wear it when I got out of the car.

But the heat was on, too, and I wasn't cold at all, just a few steps away.

However, Zhou Xun told the servant to bring me some hot soup and to supervise my drinking.

Naturally, I was happy that he was so nervous about me.

However, the court was still nearby. Although I didn't really want to see him, he was still a guest after all. It didn't seem too good to just hang around like this.

Thus, I deliberately cast a few glances in his direction, implying that Zhou Xun was still present.

Zhou Xun smiled and pinched my face. "Quickly drink it."

It was as if he didn't understand what I was hinting at.

I had to drink it.

Only then did Zhou Xun feel satisfied, saying, "I heard from Mr. Sheng that he went for 10 li worth of incense in the afternoon. You were the one who recommended him to buy those two paintings."

I nodded and said, "The painting was drawn by Qingyao herself. It's extremely good."

Zhou Xun rubbed my head and said with a smile, "I also think it's good."

The court smirked and said, "Third Young Master really does like it. The business talks went especially well today." He looked at me and said, "Miss Su, thank you for your recommendation."

I was a little surprised. Was he really planning to do business with Zhou Xun?

Furthermore, from his words, Zhou Xun seemed to have agreed.

I couldn't help but look over at Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun smiled, but didn't explain anything to me.

I don't quite understand what he's up to.

The reason why the Magnificent Court came to find him to do business must have been for some other purpose. Yet, even though he knew that the Magistrate's Court had ill intentions, he still agreed?

Just as he was mumbling, he heard Shengting say, "It's quite a pity. I originally had a good impression of Miss Su and even wanted to chase after her."

I narrowed my eyes and stared at him.

Was he intentionally trying to break the relationship between Zhou Xun and me?

Fortunately, Zhou Xun wasn't angry, and he didn't even raise an eyebrow. He only smiled and said, "Indeed, it's a pity. Nian Ming will be marrying me soon. The wedding is set for next month. If Mr. Sheng is free, you are welcome to attend."

The Magnificent Court's gaze lingered on Zhou Xun and I for a moment. With a regretful expression, he said, "It seems that I really have no hope." Following that, he smiled and said, "Congratulations to the two of you. If I am still in Hua Xia next month, I will definitely be there."

Then he left.

Before he left, he looked at me again and said, "Miss Su, you are a great scholar. Your future will be limitless."

I was a little confused. Why did he praise me for no reason?

Then he left, leaving me and Zhou Xun looking at each other in dismay.

Zhou Xun looked at me with a smile that was not a smile. "Another one that likes you."

ME: "... Are you jealous? "

He pinched my fingers and slowly said, "So what?"

Laughing, I grabbed his arm and said coquettishly, "But I only like you, my Uncle Zhou."

Zhou Xun smiled as he pinched my cheek, and then his eyes curved up. "You are the only one with a sweet mouth."

I giggled.

As for the flattery of the court, I turned my head and forgot about it. I was more concerned about his coming to talk to Zhou Xun about the business.

I couldn't help but ask Zhou Xun, "Do you really plan on cooperating with the court?"

Zhou Xun nodded and led me upstairs. "He should be related to mercenaries. Even if he didn't come to Huaxia, I would have gone to look for him."

I started.

The Magnificent Court had something to do with mercenaries?

Shen Zixian and co. captured the second in command of the mercenaries, could it be that the grand court was here for this matter?

Zhou Xun continued, "My second brother and I were originally here to work together with the court."

I was more and more stunned.

The court was such an important figure?

However, he did not even know where he had come from. Why was it that he was worthy of Zhou Xun's painstaking effort?

At this point, we had already entered the room. Zhou Xun simply hugged me and lay down on the sofa with me. "Did I tell you that the whereabouts of Wolf is unknown?"

I nodded.

Every time Zhou Xun caught up, he would be chased away by Wolf Fang.

In my opinion, the other side should be a very vigilant person, with a particularly strong sense of worry.

Zhou Xun's face turned serious as he said, "We have speculated that the Wolf was just a code name. Perhaps there are many Wolves, but it is not necessarily the head of the mercenaries."

I didn't quite understand.

Zhou Xun caressed my face and said slowly, "The Magnificent Court might be the real mercenary leader."

My eyes widened.

Zhou Xun didn't give me any time to react and continued, "The reason why the grand court came to Huaxia was probably because they guessed that he had already been exposed. He directly came to me, firstly to demonstrate his strength to us, and secondly to test our strength."

I grabbed his sleeve.

The person they had been looking for was right in front of their eyes, and he had even delivered himself to their doorstep … This was too scary!

My fingers were trembling.

Zhou Xun gently held my hand as his fingers slowly caressed my face and said, "Don't be afraid. Sooner or later, we will meet up with him. Since he took the initiative to cooperate with me, he will only expose more."

Thus, they were actually probing each other.

Would they fight when the time was right?

They were both aware of each other's trump cards. If they were to make a move, it would definitely be a fight to the death …

I couldn't speak for a long time.

Zhou Xun kissed my forehead, saying: "Don't worry, we won't be in contact for the time being."

I was still worried.

He kissed me on the tip of my nose and said, "Actually, whether or not this court is the head mercenary or not, we still have to go and verify it. All of this is just my second brother and I speculating."

But I didn't relax.

Because I knew very well that he never did anything without confidence. Since he had already decided to work with the court, the identity of the court would definitely be confirmed.

He said this to comfort me.

I bit the corner of my lips and whispered, "Then …" "Then you must be careful …"

Even though President Sheng was gentle and refined, the mercenaries were all extremely vicious people. Perhaps the court would be as perverted as Guqi, and when dealing with such people, one would have to pay full attention to them. Otherwise, if they were careless, they might be killed.

Zhou Xun nodded and smiled as he kissed me. "I understand. My wife will listen to you."

The first time he called me his wife, I couldn't help but giggle. Even the worry in my heart seemed to have disappeared.

Zhou Xun chuckled and gave me a kiss without another word.

I suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh right, although the two paintings by Li Yao's side are indeed very good, but …" I purposely made Li Jun raise the price … "Originally, it was only eight hundred thousand, but I got Qingyao to bid me one million."

Mostly I guessed that he was buying a painting in a grand court, probably to get close to me. I felt uncomfortable and wanted to kill him.

Who would have thought that this painting was actually for Zhou Xun, and it was even the leader of the mercenaries in the grand courtyard … What if he had a grudge in his heart...

Zhou Xun looked at me in amusement. "It's fine. He wouldn't go so far as to cause trouble for two hundred thousand yuan."

I'm still a little worried.

Zhou Xun smiled and pinched my nose, saying, "At worst, when we sign the contract, I'll give him a little more."

They must be talking about hundreds of millions of businesses.

This was simply too much of a loss …

Zhou Xun chuckled and bit my lips as he said: "Wife, are you feeling sorry for me for money?"

I stared at him. "Of course."

No matter how rich the Zhou family was, they could not afford to waste money like this.

Zhou Xun chuckled, "Got it. I will work hard to earn money."

Why did it have to do with earning money?

He smiled and caressed her belly, saying gently, "Baby, don't worry, just leave the matter of supporting the family to me. Just focus on nurturing the baby."

I was both angry and amused. "I wasn't worried about supporting my family... I was worried about you. "

He pressed me down and smiled as he kissed my face and neck. He said in a hoarse voice, "Then, first, feel the pain of your heart and pity me …"

He unbuttoned my jacket.

Then I was overwhelmed by his kiss, and he attacked me from all sides, and would have turned me over and over if he had not thought I was carrying my child.

But even if it didn't, it was too exciting for me.

When I woke up the next day, I felt a little listless.

Zhou Xun, however, was in good spirits. He carried me to wash up, then carried me downstairs and into the car.

Luckily, Grandpa Zhou and Rui Rui went out early in the morning. If they had seen them, who knew what they would have thought.

When I arrived at the school, however, she noticed that I was not in a good mood and thought I was feeling well. She felt extremely nervous and wanted to drag me along to check on me.

I couldn't tell her that I had been tortured by Zhou Xun last night, so I had to lie and say that the Zhou family's doctor had already examined me, and there was nothing wrong with it. Otherwise, Zhou Xun wouldn't have let me come to school.

Only then did Teng Qingshan heave a sigh of relief.

I patted my hot face, embarrassed to look her in the eye.

Fortunately, Zhou Xun didn't bother me for the next two days, and I gradually regained my spirit.

For the next few days, I lived a very comfortable life. With Zhou Xun's concern, Aunt Ning cooked all kinds of delicious food for me every day, and Jun Yao accompanied me almost every day.

It wasn't until that day when Qin Xueman came knocking on my door that I realized that the danger hadn't actually left me.

It was noon on Monday. I was waiting for Zhou Xun in the parking lot when Qin Xueman appeared.

In the morning before we left, Grandpa Zhou deliberately reminded me and Zhou Xun to remember to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to testify.

However, Zhou Xun had a meeting in the morning, and we agreed to have lunch together before going to the Civil Affairs Bureau in the afternoon.

He did not expect that Qin Xueman would come looking for him.

She grabbed my arm and threw me into her car.

Actually, I was on guard when I saw her approach.

But considering that she was better than I was, I was concerned about the child again and hesitated. I didn't go head to head with her.

After getting on the car, I was still relatively calm. "What are you going to do?" I asked first.

Qin Xueman started the car and sneered. "Find a place without people and chop you into mincemeat."

I naturally didn't believe her. If she wanted to kill me, there was no need to talk to me so much. Wouldn't it be better if she knocked me out?

However, it was clear that she had come with ill intentions. The ill intent in her eyes was about to spill out.

I replied, "You'd better not drive too far away. Uncle Zhou and I agreed to meet at the parking lot. If he doesn't see me, he'll definitely be worried. When he finds out you took me away, you'll definitely be punished."

At this time, the car had just left the campus and was still wandering around the university city.

She gave me a sidelong glance and told the driver to pull over to the side of the road.

She stared at me coldly. "Are you trying to scare me with your husband?"

I shook my head and said in a good mood, "I was just afraid that you would make a move."

Qin Xueman narrowed her eyes and sized me up for a moment. Then, she suddenly curled her red lips and said, "Do you think that now that you're going to marry me, I won't dare to do anything to you?"

I smiled bitterly.

As expected, she came looking for trouble when she heard that Zhou Xun and I were going to get married.

But what does my marriage to Zhou Xun have to do with her?

Could it be that I can fulfill her secret crush?

She looked at me and said lightly, "You are a smart woman, and I won't beat around the bush with you. The reason why I'm looking for you today is to tell you that the day you marry Teacher is the day I betray you."
