Chapter 6 — 7 Year Marriage Isn't Real

His expression relaxed. The corners of his lips smiled.

"Report on Luc Thi's achievements over the past year."

"Along with the next phase development plan."

"It's just dry commercial speeches."

"Do I need to speak?"

He leaned down and gently kissed my forehead.

"You just need to sit under the bleachers."

"Be my most beautiful wife."

"Don't stress."

I smiled slightly. I just need to sit in the stands and that's enough. Only thing... What I brought... Maybe it will make tomorrow night's party no longer boring. That night. I couldn't sleep. Luc Can Nien's arm was still around my waist. Breathing steadily. He sleeps very well. For the past seven years... He has slept so well every night. Because he always believes that... Everything is in the palm of his hand. The wife obediently obeyed. Lovers are reasonable and don't cause trouble. The baby is about to be born. Everyone... is following the script he has written. I tilted my head to look at that face. Moonlight filtered through the curtains. Gently cover half of his face. The lines are still as beautiful as ever. Over the past seven years... I've looked at that face countless times. Every time it vibrates. This will be the last time. After tomorrow... The three words Luc Can Nien will no longer have any relevance to my life. I am single. In terms of law. From beginning to end... I was never his wife. How ironic. He lied to me for seven years. In the end... That trick became my biggest protective shield. Because there has never been a legal marital relationship between us. What he did to me... It's no longer a "conflict between husband and wife." Intentionally causing harm. Four o'clock in the morning. I gently lifted his arm off of me. Quietly enter the office. Take the USB you prepared in advance. Inside are all the evidence. Recording. Transfer history. Scanned copy of treatment consent form. The same complete chain of evidence over seven years that lawyer Tran Tung arranged. I put the USB in my bag to bring to the party. The bag is very small. Just enough to hold a lipstick. And a USB. In front of more than three hundred people. I'll let Luc Can Nien... Play the last "perfect husband" role in his life. The establishment anniversary party was held in the lobby of the city center hotel. Crystal chandelier. White roses. Champagne tower. More than three hundred guests dressed in luxurious suits. When Luc Can Nien held my hand and walked into the hall... All eyes turned towards us at the same time. He was wearing a black suit. I wore that wine red dress. Standing next to each other... Truly a perfect match. A pair of talented boys and beautiful girls. The object of everyone's admiration.

"General Manager Luc, sister-in-law, please come here."

We were invited to the front row. Right in the middle of the hall. I raised my head and looked at the stage. Podium. Large LED screen. Sound system. Everything is prepared. In a corner of the hall. Pho Thinh Lan is holding a glass of wine. He nodded slightly at me. Luc Can Nien bent down and asked:

"What do you want to drink?"

"Let me tell someone to bring it to you."

"Filtered water is fine."

He smiled and stood up. Go to the bar to get me a drink. I opened the bag. Gently touch the USB on the side in. Still there. Luc Can Nien returned holding the water. Sit down next to me. He placed one hand on the back of the chair. Fingertips unconsciously caressed my shoulder. Seven thirty. The host walked onto the stage.

"Dear distinguished guests, welcome everyone to the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the establishment of Luc Thi Group."

"Next, we would like to respectfully invite the General Director of Luc Thi Group..."

"Mr. Luc Can Nien came on stage to speak."

Applause echoed throughout the hall. Luc Can Nien stood up. Bow your head to look at me. He walked onto the stage. Standing under bright lights. More than three hundred pairs of eyes were all watching him. He smiled and slowly raised his voice. The sound transmitted through the microphone is still calm and confident.

"Thank you all for being here this evening."

"Over the past fifteen years, Luc Thi Group has been able to get to where it is today thanks to everyone's support..."

Applause rang out below. I sat in the front row. Looking up at the man on stage. It would be the last time he stood in such a high position. By the third minute of the speech. My phone vibrated. It's a message from Pho Thinh Lan.

"The technical team is ready. Just say start, the screen will be transferred immediately."

I looked up at the stage. Luc Can Nien is talking about "Luc Thi's development strategy in the next three years." His eyes glowed.
