The Actor’s Ex-wife

Chapter 83

The large orange European-style chandelier lit up in the living room, giving the dark solid wood staircase a soft halo. Jian You looked at Shen Xiao in surprise and couldn't help but said: "Brother, why are you here?"

In fact, Shen Xiao has been escaping from this family for such a long time. Although he told himself that he could treat Jian You as kindly as before and treat her as his sister. But subconsciously, they still deliberately distance themselves from each other due to the constraints of marriage, so that they gradually become cold.

 Him, in fact, he has not even played the role of a basic brother well.

Shen Xiao's mood had calmed down at this time. He strolled into the living room, sat on the sofa and waved to Jian You: "You, come here."

Jian You also seemed to be infected by his soft voice. After all, Shen Xiao rarely seemed to be so restrained and completely relaxed in front of outsiders.

"It's almost midnight and I'm about to go to bed." Jian You put on a pair of cotton slippers at the stairs, walked to Shen Xiao sleepily, and sat across from him.

She saw the handbag Shen Xiao put on the coffee table. It looked a bit like a jewelry gift box. It was strange. Did she want to give a gift in the middle of the night?

“Put this away.” Shen Xiao pushed the handbag in front of Jian You and looked at her with an incomprehensible expression.

Jian You became even more curious. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "A gift?"

Shen Xiao didn't speak, but looked at Jian You quietly. Jian You opened the handbag and frowned: "I'm so embarrassed to give you a divorce gift after I'm divorced..."

Shen Xiao's eyes, which were originally full of expectancy, darkened in an instant, and his whole person showed a negative energy that kept others away. Jian You, who was concentrating on opening the "divorce gift", didn't notice this at all. It wasn't until she opened the gift box and saw the necklace inside that she was surprised: "Ah... isn't there only a dozen of this necklace in the world? Why did you buy another one?”

Jian You was immersed in the shock that she didn't understand at all in the world of rich people. Shen Xiao finally couldn't help clearing his throat, raised his head and looked at her and said: "It's the same one. I asked Miss Bai to get it back at the dance that day. ”

"You..." Jian You suddenly realized at this moment that the truth of the matter slowly emerged. The necklace, silk scarf, and the fabricated kiss turned out to be like this.

"Brother." Jian You was a little embarrassed. When she gave the necklace away casually, it was actually to end Jian You's obsession. She did not expect that these things would happen one after another.

"If you don't like it, then just leave it. This thing is very expensive, so don't give it away casually." Facing Jian You, who had a trace of guilt on his face, Shen Xiao finally couldn't bear to say anything else. What was once a wedding anniversary gift has no meaning at all to the two of them now.

"I'll put it away." Jian You put away the gift box and held it on her knees, looking very precious. "Brother, is there anything else?" Jian You raised her head and asked Shen Xiao, running around in the middle of the night. I came here just to send this thing back, which seems a bit unnecessary.

Shen Xiao was stunned by Jian You's question. He thought about it for a long time and didn't know how to answer. He just saw the necklace and came back by accident. In fact, it was just for this, but...who would be so stupid to drive for more than half an hour in the middle of the night? , just to give someone else something that seems insignificant.

"Uh, nothing... nothing else. Actually, I just came to see you, so I'll leave first." Feeling a little embarrassed for no reason, Shen Xiao stood up and went out, and Jian You walked him to the door.

Shen Xiao turned around to say goodbye to Jian You. The sea breeze outside was a bit strong and her long hair was a little messy. Shen Xiao naturally stretched out his hand to help her lift the broken hair from her cheeks. The smooth touch spread from the fingertips to the whole body. For a moment, Shen Xiao could hardly restrain himself and wanted to lower his head and kiss her.

Jian You turned her head slightly to avoid some ambiguous touches. If they were brothers and sisters, there would be nothing wrong with such an intimate gesture, but now...it's better for men and women to accept or not kiss!

"Brother, let's go quickly. It's too late and the road is hard to walk on." Jian You took a step back.

Shen Xiao took a deep breath, nodded, turned around and walked towards the door. The car started quickly, with xenon headlights illuminating the front. Shen Xiao saw Jian You standing at the door waving to him. He slowly reversed the car and finally turned away.

Jian You's figure can still be seen in the rearview mirror, slender and delicate, leaning against the door. Shen Xiao can't imagine how many nights in the past seven years, she has stood like this at the door, looking forward to it. His return.

 However, he never returned...

Jian You also put the necklace into the suitcase. The night was already very late. Mrs. Zhou saw the lights still on in the room and came up to talk to Jian You.

“Madam, has the young master been here just now?” Shen Xiao’s car was known to Mrs. Zhou, so when she saw his car at the door, Mrs. Zhou did not come in to disturb the young couple.

“Well, my brother came back just now.” Jian You zipped up the suitcase, sat on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her head and said to Sister-in-law Zhou, “Sister-in-law Zhou, I’m moving out tomorrow.”
