Chapter 10 — A Stranger's Bride

"What's up?" “Because I feel like we don't belong in the same world.” “Noan Noan.” — Co Han Da held my hand, "We are husband and wife. If we are husband and wife, we are in the same world." "But..." "There are no buts." — He looked at me with very serious eyes, "The person I love is Lam Noan Noan, not from your family background. Just like I hope the person you love is Co Han Da, not my property." "I understand." "So... do you still want to continue being with me now?" I thought for a moment: "I do." "Do you feel too pressured?" "A little bit." "Then let's slowly adapt." “Yes.”“Noan Noan.”“Yes?”“Thank you for not changing your attitude after knowing my identity.”“Why do you have to change?”“Because many people, after knowing my true identity, begin to change.”“Change how?”“Becoming flattery or cautious, distant.”“You won't be like that.”“I know.” — Co Han Da smiled, "That's also one of the reasons why I love you." Hearing the word "love you", my heart beat faster. Even though he said it many times. But every time I hear it, it makes me shake. "Co Han Da." "Yes?" “I think... maybe I love you too.” He was stunned. “Really?” “Really.” “Since when did it start?” “Since today.” “Why today?” “Because today I saw you with your family.” “How are you?” “Very warm, very honest.” “And then what?” “Then I thought, a man who is loved by his family like that must be a good person.” “Is that all?” “Also, you are willing to take me home to meet your relatives, which means you are serious.” “Of course it's serious.” “Then you have to be serious too.” “Noan Noan…” — Co Han Da emotionally hugged me tightly, “I'm really happy.” “Me too.”“I love you.”“I love you too.”This is the first time I said the three words “I love you”. The moment I said it, I felt a warmth spreading in my heart. It turns out, this is the feeling of love. 10After learning Co Han Da's true identity, my life began to have some changes. First is at work. "Noan Noan, you look different lately." — Tieu Truong said. “How is it different?” “Feeling much more confident.” “Really?” "Really. And the clothes you wear are also more luxurious." I bent down to look at the clothes on my body. Just bought it. Co Han Da said my previous clothes were too simple, so he bought me a bunch of new clothes - all brand names. "Your husband is really nice." — Tieu Truong was full of admiration. “Yes, he treats me very well.” “What is he doing?” “Invest.” “Profits must be very high, right?” “It's okay.” I can't tell the truth about Co Han Da's identity. He once told me that family matters should not be spoken casually, not because I don't trust anyone, but to ensure safety. In the afternoon, the room manager called me in to talk. "Noan Noan, recently there is a project I want to assign to you." “What project?” “A high-end residential area, needing interior design.” “In what segment?” “Super luxurious.” I was a bit surprised. With my seniority, I'm usually not assigned such high-end projects. "Why did you choose me?" “Because the customer pointed to me.” “Just your name?” “Yes, they said they saw your works and were very satisfied.” “Who is the customer?” “Co Thi Group.” I was stunned. Co Thi... Is Co Han Da's company? "What's wrong?" — Manager asked, “Is there any problem?” “No, there isn't.” “Then this project will be left to you.” “Yes, thank you boss.” When I got home that night, I asked directly: “Did you arrange a project for me?” “What project?” — He pretended not to know. “Designing the residential area next to Co Thi.” “Ah… that one.” — He laughed, “You found out.” “Why did you do that?” “Because I want more people to see your talent.” “But that's not fair.” “What's not fair?” “I was chosen only

because there is a relationship.” “Noan Noan, you have to be confident.” — Co Han Da said seriously, "It's true that I helped you get this opportunity, but whether you do well or not still depends on your ability." "What if I don't do well?" "Let's do it again." "Doesn't it affect the company's interests?" "No." — He patted my head and smiled softly, "Besides, I believe you will definitely do well." “Why do you believe me like that?” “Because I've seen your previous works.” “Since when?” “Since before we got married.” “You investigated me?” “Let's just say so.” “What else did you investigate?” “Your qualifications, your work history, your family situation.” “Why investigate?” “Because I wanted to make sure you were trustworthy.” “And what were the results?” “Very satisfied.” — Co Han Da gently kissed my cheek, "That's why I decided to marry you." “Just because the investigation results are good?” “Of course not.” — He hugged me, “Mainly because I loved you at first sight.” “Really?” "Real."
