It was almost dark, but all the lights in the garden were turned on, and when they shone on their faces, it was half-dark, so they couldn't really see everything. [Read the full text at www.baoliny.com]
Xia Tangtang's voice was mixed in the wind, and it was as light as an illusion.
Chi Huan thought he heard wrongly and asked subconsciously, "What did you say?"
"Didn't you hear that?"
She did hear it.
After a few seconds of silence, Chi Huan pursed his lips and asked softly, "What does it mean that there is no marriage relationship anymore?"
Xia Tangtang smiled and said quietly, "Of course they are divorced."
She was stunned, "When?"
"Well... I already completed the formalities before leaving Paris."
Chi Huan looked at the gentle and beautiful face in front of him. His vision was blurred by the aperture of the street lamp while he was in a trance. He could see farther away, but the end was dim and the outline could no longer be discerned.
Therefore, since they first met five years later, he has been divorced... so there is no question of cheating.
But he never said it, or rather, he never wanted to say it.
"Why?"
Her voice was as low as a whisper, as if she was asking Xia Tangtang in front of her, as if she was asking herself, but also as if she was asking the man who was not in front of her.
why.
Why divorce.
Why come back to find her
Do you want to get back together with her? He wants to get back together with her but never mentions that he is divorced.
Or do you just want to relive your old dreams, but don’t really want to have a future with her, so you use your status as a married man as a cover to prevent her from having any thoughts that she shouldn’t have
"I don't know Simon's reasons. As for mine... I don't think you are very interested," she said with a soft smile, "But I promised Simon not to reveal to anyone in private that we are divorced. thing, so... you can't tell him that I told you, wait until he voluntarily lets him know, or... it doesn't matter if you tell him that you guessed it yourself."
"Since you agreed, why don't you abide by it? I can't even be a casual acquaintance with you... You don't need to tell me."
Xia Tangtang smiled, raised his hand to brush away the hair that was blown by the wind on his face, and said calmly, "Just say what you want to say. It's not very interesting if people always follow the rules."
After a moment of silence, Chi Huan asked, "You don't want Jin Sihan to know... You would rather be with him as a wife, don't you plan to have a future with him?"
"He and I..." When she said these three words, she couldn't help but laugh. After the early autumn evening, this smile was particularly chilling, "There is no future."
"Tell me, do you think Mo Shiqian and I have a future?"
"Whether there is or not, we won't know until we fight."
Chi Huan looked at her charming face and asked, "Then why don't you fight?"
"It's too difficult." The wind picked up again. Xia Tangtang's long black hair covered most of her face like a thin waterfall, and her voice was low and deep. "I think about it, fighting a battle that has already been lost, and having close relatives turn against each other again." Once again, I have to ask a man who lost five years of his life because of my betrayal to forgive me and accept me. I can’t do it and I don’t want to fight anymore.”
… …
When Chi Huan returned to his apartment, it was completely dark.
She must have been hungry, but she had neither the appetite nor the inclination to eat. After returning, she took off her boots, put on soft fur and dragged her to the cloakroom, where she pulled out a box from under the cabinet in the corner.
He opened the cover and reached out to touch what was inside.
Without exception, they are all men's things.
It was all the things Mo Shiqian left behind during the few nights he stayed here.
As big as clothes, as small as razors, and medicines he didn't use up.
She sat on the ground motionless, with her head on the box, lost in thought.
She didn't know where her eyes were looking, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking from her face.
… …
The next morning, the outdoor restaurant.
Chi Huan supported his chin with one hand, looked at the man sitting opposite, raised the corners of his lips and smiled broadly, "I thought you wouldn't answer my call, let alone go out to eat with me."
Mo Shiqian raised his hand to pour the wine as if nothing had happened, his lips were as thin as parched, he raised a slight arc, and said in a low and indifferent voice, "You know how to choose a place. The scenery here and the chef's cooking skills are barely worth half of my opening." An hour’s drive away to have a meal.”
She made a low-pitched sound to indicate that she understood, and then asked, "Then do you like to talk about things before a meal, or after a meal?"
The man raised his eyes and glanced at her, "If you think I will be happy, you can talk before dinner. If you think it will be off-putting, then talk after eating."
She held her chin and thought for a while, "But I don't know whether you will be happy or unhappy."
He snorted slightly.
Chi Huan lowered his head, picked up the handbag placed aside, took out a card from it, placed it on the table, then pressed it with his fingers, and slowly pushed it in front of the man.
Mo Shiqian glanced down.
Obviously, this is a bank card.
He held the wine glass and looked up at Chi Huan opposite, half-smiling but not smiling, "Are you going to give me money?"
Compared to yesterday, when she just casually changed her clothes and went out, didn't put on much makeup, and probably didn't comb her hair much, she was clearly "dressed up" carefully today.
The makeup was very light, but a lot of thought was put into it. Her hair was blow-dried and rearranged, not to mention her clothes. She looked casual in everyday life, but in fact she was very particular. From the appearance alone, she looked bright and charming.
"Yeah, a billion."
Mo Shiqian paused as he was about to bring the wine glass to his lips, and the faint, undetectable smile froze for a few seconds, and then became deeper.
He put down his wine glass, raised his eyebrows slightly, and the ridicule in his sneer became even stronger, "One billion, five years ago I was worth a billion in your eyes, but five years later I'm still only worth a billion? You at least put your After taking out all the money in the account, I can still see a little bit of sincerity.”
Chi Huan pouted, "I'm not buying you for life, why do I have to spend so much money."
Mo Shiqian looked at her expressionlessly.
"what do you want to buy?"
"Just buy the time you spend with Liang Manyue detoxifying."
The man said lightly, "You do know how to do business."
"You can't lose, how come I know how to do business?"
"The capital was earned by selling me, and the interest compounded several times was earned by my hard work for you. Now use it to buy my time. Who can do business better than you?"
"But you can still earn one billion."
Mo Shiqian looked at her, took a sip of wine, and said calmly, "Why don't you give it to Jin Sihan, he is short of capital right now."
"But I'm doing business with you now."
