The leather sofa imported from Italy is five meters long in the center of the large horizontal hall. Su Xiaoyan is sitting on one end of the sofa, and Chu Tianjiao is sitting on the other end of the sofa. Although it is only a few meters long, there seems to be a gap between them.
A Milky Way is so far away.
The nearly 100-square-meter living room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The only sound that could be heard was the gray slate wall. The sound of the sterling silver clock hands beating was like a broken spring. Every time it beat, Chu Tianjiao felt
His heart trembled violently.
There was no sound of chopping vegetables in the kitchen, and there was no sound of Lu Mingfei and others talking in the yard. I don’t know if it was because the villa was too big, or if those people deliberately slowed down their movements to make room for Su Xiaoyan and Chu Tianjiao.
When they left the space, it was as if they were the only two people left in the world.
"Then what..." Chu Tianjiao said slowly, "The weather seems pretty good today?"
Su Xiaoyan glanced sideways at Chu Tianjiao and said calmly: "Are you sure you have nothing to say?"
"No...no." Chu Tianjiao choked, "Actually...there are a lot of things I want to talk to you about, but I just don't know how to talk...but you probably don't want to hear it either, right?"
"How do I know if I want to hear it or not if you don't tell me?" Su Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at Chu Tianjiao, "After all these years, you still think you are a roundworm in my belly? That trick you used to deceive little girls back then
It no longer works."
"No...I didn't mean that." Chu Tianjiao felt a little guilty and lowered his head even further, "I'm sorry, I really wasn't trying to coax you...at least not now."
"Okay, okay, stop pretending to be pitiful in front of me." Su Xiaoyan waved her hands and curled her lips, "If you have anything to say, just say it. No one is stopping you. If you don't say it now, wait.
My husband and son will be back soon, and I am too lazy to listen anymore."
"How are you... all these years?" Chu Tianjiao almost blurted out.
An extremely clichéd sentence, it is so clichéd that even popular idol dramas no longer use this cliché... But Chu Tianjiao couldn't help but ask, he spoke from the bottom of his heart, even though he had already learned from Chu Zihang
He and Lu Mingfei didn't know that Su Xiaoyan would be fine in these years, but he still couldn't help but ask.
"Is it good?" Su Xiaoyan glanced at Chu Tianjiao strangely, "What can be wrong? Do I look bad?"
According to the routine of conventional idol dramas, the heroine should stand up at this time, point at the nose of the hero after a long separation, and say arrogantly: I don’t know how good my life has been since I left you. I married a caring and caring person.
A lax husband, with endless living expenses and pocket money, and a handsome, sensible son who also knows how to care for others. The only stain in my life is you. If you disappeared, I wouldn't say how much better I would be. I would die without any regrets.
.
But Su Xiaoyan didn't say that. Maybe when she was young, she had a bit of such a fierce personality, but the erosion of the years has washed away part of the beauty of the once heartless woman... Today's Su Xiaoyan can't be said to be...
What a virtuous housewife, but at least she is much more sensible than when she was young. Even when facing a man she once loved and hated, she can still make a fuss without saying anything that hurts her heart.
To vent the dissatisfaction that I have accumulated over the years.
"No... you look pretty good." Chu Tianjiao raised his head and looked around the huge living room and the intricately arranged expensive and stylish furniture. "Living in a big house, marrying a rich and generous husband, although he is completely
He is not handsome, but he does not restrict your freedom at all. His son is sensible and mature enough, and there is a nanny to take care of him at home. From time to time, he can invite a group of sisters to get together. This kind of carefree life is probably every woman's dream.
Yeah."
"Maybe." Su Xiaoyan put her chin on her pretty elbow and said, "I don't know if I have thought about it this way, but at least when I was young, these were not what I wanted."
"What did you want at that time?" Chu Tianjiao asked curiously.
"I want a handsome, wealthy and interesting man to play with me." Su Xiaoyan looked at the gray wall panel and said calmly, "I was just a little girl at that time, what could a little girl want?
A big villa? Endless money? A husband who has a successful career but is not so controlling? Maybe, but the little girl will definitely be attracted by what is in front of her first. A humorous and handsome man every day
How can any girl refuse to pester you?"
"I don't deny being handsome, funny and humorous, but rich?" Chu Tianjiao scratched the back of his head, "I don't seem to have anything to do with this word, right?"
Chu Tianjiao recalled that after getting together with Su Xiaoyan, he either lived in a cheap rental house or bought a small house with only a few dozen square meters, and the clothes he wore were only clean, not even very decent, and
Although Chu Tianjiao's driving skills are good, he has never owned a car of his own, at least not in front of Su Xiaoyan.
"Really? But in my memory, when we first got together, you were quite willing to spend money for me." Su Xiaoyan said lightly, with the light of memories in her beautiful eyes, "I remember your first
When he came to see my performance for the second time, he gave me a pair of high-heeled shoes with crystal and diamonds as a gift. Those shoes must be quite expensive, right?"
"Is there such a thing?" Chu Tianjiao obviously remembered it, but he forced himself to play dumb and said, "It seems that there is such a thing, but how do you know it is expensive? Maybe it is just rhinestones? There are many such decorations on women's clothing
It’s all there.”
"At first I thought they were for decoration, until a colleague of mine saw the shoes. Her boyfriend was in the jewelry business in South Africa, and diamonds were no longer strange to her." Su Xiaoyan said softly,
"But the first time she saw those shoes, she screamed, that's
She was shocked. She held the pair of shoes and observed them carefully for a long time. Finally, she told me that each diamond on them was more than one carat. They were all of the highest quality in terms of color, cut and brightness. She picked them out individually.
Each one is worth a lot of money, and the total value is simply unimaginable."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Tianjiao fell into silence. It was not that he was recalling the incident. In fact, he remembered it when Su Xiaoyan just mentioned it.
He did give Su Xiaoyan such a pair of high heels. Not long after they met, Chu Tianjiao went to watch a play performed by Su Xiaoyan. He packed these colorful high heels in an exquisite gift box and placed them backstage.
Xiaoyan's dressing table.
"You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen, and you have a pair of spotless feet, so you deserve the most beautiful shoes in the world."
This is the note Chu Tianjiao left in the gift box at that time, without signature.
But he really put his heart into those shoes, and those diamonds are his collection. This is also one of Chu Tianjiao's hobbies. He is an idle gem collector, but ordinary gems cannot catch his eye.
Regarding diamonds, he only collects pure natural diamonds with perfect color and transparency, and then invites excellent craftsmen to cut and grind them into exactly the same diamonds.
Shape... This has been his collection for many years, but since the first time he saw Su Xiaoyan, he found a fashion designer he was familiar with and inlaid almost all of his collection into a pair of crystal-like shoes.
Although it is not necessarily the most expensive, it is definitely the most thoughtful and unique shoe in the world. It is more moving and more gorgeous than Cinderella's glass slipper.
That was Chu Tianjiao's intention. For the girl he fell in love with at first sight, he never thought that Su Xiaoyan would see how expensive those shoes were, because to him, the value of those shoes should not be the price of using them.
Measured not by money, but by time.
Give his collection from the first half of his life to the girl he loves in the second half of his life.
"If you knew it at that time, why did you never mention it?" After a long silence, Chu Tianjiao slowly spoke, "I have never been a rich man, so you have never doubted why I could give it away
Is a pair of shoes so expensive?”
When he said this, Chu Tianjiao couldn't help but look at Su Xiaoyan. He had the ability to see into people's hearts. He could easily tell whether a person was telling the truth or not.
But this skill rarely failed in this woman.
"Why do I doubt this?" Su Xiaoyan said with a normal expression, "Whether that pair of shoes is expensive or cheap, you gave them to me anyway, and I have no intention of selling them. Since they are not for sale, then they are
Does it matter how much it’s worth? No matter how you got it, doesn’t it belong to me once it’s delivered to me? Why should I worry about the origin of my things?”
Chu Tianjiao opened his mouth, but was speechless. This woman was like this when she was young. Although sometimes she was heartless and stubborn, many times her logic was so strong that it could make people speechless.
Word.
"So you knew it at that time." Chu Tianjiao whispered.
"When I was young, I was pretty stupid when I fell in love, but I wasn't really a fool. In fact, you gave me a lot of things. Although I didn't know the specific price, and I didn't ask anyone specifically to ask, I knew they should be
It's not cheap." Su Xiaoyan said softly, "When I was young, I also had a lot of money.
Renzhui, I have also received a lot of good things. Some of them I knew were valuable at the time. Some things, when I look back on them when I grow up, I probably know their value. The cheapest thing you have ever given me is probably yours.
The hand-folded paper cranes and the most expensive necklace shouldn’t be worth estimating, right?”
Chu Tianjiao was startled. It turned out that this woman was far smarter and more careful than he thought. She didn't deliberately pay attention to or investigate these things, but she remembered them... He thought he had hidden them perfectly, but when he looked back, it turned out that there were
So many flaws.
He once naively thought that this woman was really stupid and didn't know anything, but in fact she already knew many things, but she just kept them in her heart and never mentioned them to him.
"So have you ever thought that I might be a rich man but leave nothing for you and my son?" Chu Tianjiao's voice became smaller and smaller, "I have no money, no car and no care, only a small set of clothes."
A small house.”
"I never thought about whether you were rich, but I really hated you at that time." Su Xiaoyan paused, "Maybe I can't say I hate you, because I still liked you at that time, and I thought you suddenly
Disappeared. Just thinking about you makes my teeth itch, especially when Chu Zihang was so stubborn when he was a child.
When I was stubborn, I always thought, why did this guy disappear without saying a word, why did this guy leave me a mess, but then I figured it out, maybe I forgot the feeling of hating you at the beginning, because
I met my current husband, and Chu Zihang became more and more sensible."
"That's when I realized that no one in this world can't live without another person." Su Xiaoyan whispered, "Time will dilute everything, and so will love, which lasts a person's life.
You can have a lot of necessities, money, a house and friends, but you can't force someone to be tied to you all the time."
If Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei, and even Lu Tianming were here, they would definitely be shocked. No one expected that Su Xiaoyan could express such emotion... This woman actually has such a profound understanding of life.
perception.
Probably no one in this world is completely ignorant. Even women who don't like to use their brains will learn thorough philosophy from their past lives.
Chu Tianjiao's lips trembled slightly, and he kept his head lowered. How many times did he want to open his mouth, but he couldn't, because he knew that he was no longer in a position to say those words.
He wanted to say, no, there are really people in this world who cannot leave another person, there is really love in this world that is eternal, and there are really people in this world who are voluntarily tied to death next to another person... Su Xiao
What Yan said sounded so ironic to his ears. Every word of negation she said was his inner persistence.
"Really..." Chu Tianjiao tried his best to keep his voice from shaking, "It turns out that you have grown up... It turns out that your thoughts have changed so much in these years..."
"What about you? What have you been doing these years?" Su Xiaoyan asked in a seemingly casual tone.
Chu Tianjiao's body trembled and he suddenly fell silent.
He never thought that Su Xiaoyan would take the initiative to ask him this question, so he hadn't thought about how to answer it... Are you still telling lies like before? Can those lies still fool this woman now? Chu Tianjiao doesn't know, he just
I feel like telling those nonsense lies is very tiring.
"You don't have to say anything if you don't want to say it. I'm just asking casually." Su Xiaoyan's tone was light and airy.
"In the past few years... I have been to a very far away place." Chu Tianjiao said slowly.
"How far is it?" Su Xiaoyan asked next, not knowing whether she was really interested in this topic or couldn't think of other topics to talk about.
"It's like... another world." Chu Tianjiao took a deep breath, "Anyway, I'm living in a hazy state. I've forgotten many things, but sometimes I see you and sometimes I see my son."
"See me?" Su Xiaoyan was stunned, and she said with some confusion, "I haven't traveled far in these years, are you talking about a dream?"
"Maybe." Chu Tianjiao nodded gently, "Looking back, it really feels like a dream."
