The Actor’s Ex-wife

Chapter 75

  Having no appetite at all…

Shen Xiao leaned on the sofa and sighed, helplessly saying, "I'll go upstairs and take a nap first."

Jian You saw that he had no energy and said nothing more. Although being a star looks glamorous, Jian You knows that they are actually quite tired. It is very hard to catch up with announcements like a trapeze artist.

“Master, what do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll prepare it for you and keep it for you.” Sister-in-law Zhou asked hurriedly when she saw Shen Xiao turn around and go upstairs.

Shen Xiao waved his hands but did not speak. His walking posture seemed a little less energetic than usual.

 “Madam, what’s wrong with the young master?”

"I don't know, maybe I'm too tired after returning from a business trip?" Jian You felt relieved after watching Shen Xiao go up to the second floor and enter the guest room. She had just taken a shower and the room was in a mess, but she couldn't let Shen Xiao see it.

Shen Xiao opened the door, walked into the room like a zombie, and lay on his back on the two-meter-wide bed.

 My mind is very confused, I should say very confused...

It is clear that I have been divorced, but there is no excitement and surprise that I should have. Instead, there is this kind of depression of worrying about gains and losses.

The back of the hand that had been sprayed with Yunnan Baiyao was no longer so painful. There was still a pungent smell on it, as well as the numbing feeling that Jian You had just touched.

Shen Xiao dialed Xiao Ma's cell phone and connected the call after a beep.

Xiao Ma, who was on the other end of the phone, had just come out of Shen's house. He was given a lot of expressions by the old man. Seeing that it was Shen Xiao's call, he thought he was here to push things forward, so he hurriedly replied: "Brother Xiao... the things have been given to the old man." Yes, the old man has not regretted it, don’t worry!”

Shen Xiao's chest froze after hearing this, and he was so angry that he picked up the phone again.

Hunting toot…

　　Xiao Ma looked at the screen of his phone, somewhat curious. Looking back, he felt that Shen Xiao would not do such a mindless thing. It was probably because his phone was accidentally touched. Shen Xiao threw away the phone and closed his eyes again.

 Still...so confusing...

 But he was unwilling to do so. He felt that he should not be in such a mess. So he tried to organize his thoughts, starting from when he and Jian You met.

He and Jian You should have known each other when they were one year old, but we were both babies at that time and couldn't remember clearly at all. The first time he had the clearest memory of Jian You was when he snatched one of her dolls when he was a child. That doll, like Jian You, has a pair of big, bright eyes. Not only did he **** the doll, he also took out the doll's eyes and used them as marbles to hit until Jian You went to her father to complain in tears.

His father Jian Dong is a very honest and rigid person. He is strict with himself, but he loves Jian You very much. That kind of love makes Shen Xiao, who is also a child, feel that Jian You is actually his biological child, right? Of course, this is just his little guess, because it is simply impossible. Jian You was a child adopted by his grandfather, and the entire Shen family knew about it.

The old man did not deliberately conceal this matter, as if he was also considering their future marriage.

Before she was ten years old, Jian You had always been a little angel-like girl. Sometimes Shen Lu's sister Shen Wei would bully her, the "little sister" when she came to play. Shen Wei is a very smart little girl who never suffers any losses. In front of her, Jian You looks pitiful like a little idiot.

 At that time, Shen Xiao often helped Shen Wei tease Jian You. Usually it means grabbing her toys, or soiling her new dress, or hiding her favorite gadgets without telling her where they are. At that time, except for the servants at home, everyone would want to play tricks on Jian You. The reason was simple. Just because her surname was "Jian", she could enjoy the treatment of the Shen family's granddaughter.

 At that time, Shen Xiao had no idea how painful these shadows in childhood and the subsequent accident were for Jian You. She gradually became taciturn, did not like to communicate with anyone, and was immersed in her own world. Although the results are still excellent, a lot of damage has been done.

The first time Shen Xiao realized that Jian You had changed was when he was fifteen years old. During the winter vacation, Mr. Shen picked them up to go skiing in Hokkaido. At the ski resort in Sapporo, Shen Xiao saw her fall and kindly went. He helped her, but she pushed him away reflexively. But after pushing him away, Jian You looked at herself apologetically, as if she was not the one who had done that thing just now.

Later, they separated for their studies, and the only time they could see each other each year was during the winter and summer vacations for two or three months. It wasn't until the age of eighteen that Shen Xiao received a call from his mother, saying that Mr. Shen was critically ill, that the two got together again.

 But that meeting now seems more like a negotiation.

Jian You sat at the other end of the negotiation table, lowered his head and listened to the parents' speeches, and then after reaching a consensus, registered the marriage. She never said a word from beginning to end. Whatever others said, she nodded if she agreed; if she disagreed, she could shake her head. But from beginning to end, she didn't shake her head.
