Time and you are my fault

The manor tonight is more lively than ever.

The servants were not on holiday, and as soon as the New Year's Eve dinner arrived, Mr. Zong asked the housekeeper to distribute big red envelopes to the servants.

Zong Mucheng moved to the old man's side, "Grandpa and our red envelopes, even if we don't have them, my little nephew and niece must have them."

The old man laughed so hard that he could hardly see his eyes, and when he mentioned that he wanted to be a great-grandfather, he was so happy from ear to ear, "Yes, yes, yes! There are all of them!"

The butler brought down a red-brown wooden box from upstairs, the old man opened it, took out several small boxes from it, and pushed them in front of Chuy, "This is for Yiyi and the baby in her stomach."

Chu Yi opened several boxes, all of which were expensive jewelry, and there was also an imperial green jadeite bracelet that was the status symbol of the mistress of the clan.

Before the divorce, Chu Yi returned all the jewelry given by the Zong family to Cheng Xiangyi.

Now it's going around and around, and it's back in my hands.

It's just that now... She hasn't remarried Zong Yanchu yet, so she can't accept this bracelet for the time being.

She looked at Zong Yanzu with some embarrassment, but saw that the man just smiled at her and asked her to accept them all.

"Sister-in-law, please accept it quickly. Although you haven't remarried yet, it will be in your pocket sooner or later." Zong Mucheng broke the deadlock and stuffed the box into Chu Yi's arms.

Chu Yi didn't shirk anymore, so let's put it in the safe.

Next, Cheng Xiangyi and Zong He presented two houses, a castle manor and a sea view villa.

"These two houses are both very good in terms of Feng Shui and scenery. If you want to hold a wedding abroad, we will do it in this ancient castle. If you don't want to go abroad, you can do it here in Gongzhou. Of course, if Yiyi is not satisfied with the location , let's change again."

The more Chu Yi heard it, the more her ears became hotter. Everyone was talking about remarriage and holding a wedding.

But Zong Yanzhu didn't say a word. Tonight when the fireworks were set off, it was a good time, but he didn't move...

Chu Yi suddenly felt a sense of loss.

On second thought, does she hate marriage too much?

She sneaked a glance at the man beside her, and found that he was also looking at her.

Chu Yi's heart tightened, and she looked away guiltily.

"Sister-in-law, this is a gift I prepared for the little ones."

Zong Mucheng mysteriously took out her presents, which were two longevity locks inlaid with gold and jade, and two pairs of baby shoes.

"Someone told me that the first pair of shoes for my nephew and niece must be given by my aunt."

Chu Yi took it with joy in her eyes, "Thank you, Mucheng."

"Brother, where's your gift? You not only have to prepare it for your sister-in-law, but also your son and daughter."

Zong Yanxuan put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the wall on one side. Facing his sister's question, he shrugged and said, "Secret it."

"Cut! It's still mysterious." Mucheng curled her lips.

After one o'clock in the morning, the manor finally gradually quieted down.

Chuy went back to her room to sleep.

But Zong Yanzhu followed Zong He to the study.

She looked at the pajamas hanging together in the closet, her eyebrows slightly frowned.

Is he going to sleep in the master bedroom tonight?Or will it go to the guest bedroom as before?

It was like an ant was crawling around in her heart, which made her a little irritable.

After washing up, it was almost two o'clock in the morning, Zong Yanzu still didn't come back.

She stood at the door hesitating for a while, and finally opened the door and went to the guest bedroom.

Nobody inside.

Turned around and went downstairs to the study.

The door of the room was ajar, and as soon as you approached, you could hear the conversation between father and son inside.

"Although Mom isn't smart, she's not so stupid that she can't guess anything." Zong Yanqi's voice was low, and seemed to be a little cool.

Chuy stopped and stood in the corridor without moving.

"No matter how you say it's Dad's own son, I won't make things difficult for you."

When Chu Yi heard this, surprise flashed in his eyes.

dear son?
The Zong family only had two children, Zong Yanqi and Zong Mucheng, where did they come from?

"So Dad, I hope you don't make things difficult for me either."

After a long time, a sigh came from the room, "Okay."

Chuy turned and walked back, and then heard familiar footsteps behind her.

She hastened to speed up, but was caught up by the people behind her, who clamped her wrists.

"Yi?"

Chu Yi turned around stiffly, "I just... see that you haven't returned to your room, so let's take a look."

Seeing her nervous expression, Zong Yanzu couldn't help laughing.

She must have overheard the conversation just now.

His hand slid into her palm, interlocked her fingers, and led her back to the room.

Chu Yi's heart went up and down. Before Zong Yanke's accident, she overheard the quarrel between Cheng Xiangyi and Zong He. She only heard a little information, but she didn't expect it to be so exciting.

Zong Yanchu pressed her to sit on the edge of the bed, and then saw the man go to the bathroom to get a hair dryer.

She honestly let him blow her hair, with the gentle warm wind in her ears, and his fingertips scratched the hair, which was a little itchy.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's not a glorious thing."

The man's low voice mixed with the sound of the wind poured into his ears.

Chuy turned her back to him and said nothing.

"My parents met through a family blind date. Before that, my father had a girlfriend. Later, the family disagreed, and they broke up after two years of entanglement. After my parents got married, that woman came to the door and said that she had given birth to a child."

The more Chu Yi heard it, the more unhappy she felt.

"Dad gave them a lot of money and asked them to leave and start a new life. Neither Grandpa nor Mom knew about it."

However, Chu Yi smelled something weird. For some reason, she suddenly remembered Zong Yanke's accidents one after another, and asked uncertainly, "Then you were taken away by the police, and this car accident..."

The wind in my ears suddenly stopped.

The shoulders were clasped by the man's warm hands, and the body turned halfway.

The soft light in the bedroom reflected in the eyes of the two of them.

"It does have something to do with him."

The man's deep voice rang in his ears, but it made Chu Yi feel cold all over.

The scene of the car accident that day is vivid in my memory. If the car hit her at that time, she would not survive, even the unborn baby in her stomach...

The color of her lips paled in an instant, and the next second, her cheeks were gently held by the man.

"Yiyi, that's what I asked you that day, are you afraid of being by my side?"

The fear and sourness all over Chu Yi rushed towards her eyes.

She didn't have time to answer his words that day, so that in the next month, she felt extremely regretful.

Afraid?

Naturally afraid.

In this world, no one is not afraid of death.

It's just that now, she has no room to shrink back and fear.

Not only for being with Zong Yanchu, but also for her own children, she can't be afraid.

"Not afraid." Hands covered the slender fingers on the cheeks, "Zong Yanzu, you are not afraid of anything when I am with you."

The man's heart was sore, he gently hugged her into his arms, and stroked the top of her hair with his hand, "In the future, I will not let you be threatened."

Huddled in his arms, listening to the powerful heartbeat beside her ears, Chuy felt that the last trace of fear had disappeared.

"Then over there..." She suddenly raised her head to look at him.

The man's sharp jaw rubbed against her head, "Mom knew about it a long time ago, but Dad has no feelings for that woman. If it weren't for our accident this time, Mom wouldn't have had an argument with him."

Chu Yi understood that for more than a month after Zong Yanzu's accident, Cheng Xiangyi either stayed with her in the hospital or stayed at Mrs. Mo's house, and basically never returned to the manor.

"Let them handle their emotional disputes by themselves, don't think too much about it."

"Zong Yanzu."

"Ok?"

"You said that Dad has no feelings for that woman. Will the feelings really disappear with the passage of time?"

Zong Yanqi smiled lightly, "We have been separated for decades, and we have our own lives and families. It seems that no relationship can withstand this kind of waste."

"Oh." Her tone was a little low, looking out the window without knowing what to think.

He kissed her forehead, "So, you are not allowed to leave me in this life."

"Okay." She rubbed into his arms and hugged him tightly.

If you don't leave, you will never leave for the rest of your life.

The two of them staggered for a while, and Zong Yanchu suddenly got up.

Chu Yi asked puzzled, "Where are you going?"

Seeing the frown between her brows, the man pretended to be natural and said, "Go to the guest room and sleep."

Chuy, "..."

Gritting her teeth, she said awkwardly, "You..."

"What about me?" He asked deliberately as if bewitching her heart.

"Don't you...don't sleep here with me?"
