Chapter 6 — A Stranger's Bride

“Is something funny?” I thought for a moment, then decided to tell the truth: “I'm married.” “What?” – Tieu Truong almost jumped up. "Yesterday, I went to register my marriage." "With whom?" "A person named Co Han Da." "What about Giang Thanh?" "Not related." "Noan Noan, are you crazy?!" "It's very possible." "How long have you two known each other?" "Three days." Tieu Truong was dumbfounded: "Three days?" "Yes." "How can you marry someone who has only known you for three days?" "Because I feel he is suitable for me." than Giang Thanh." "But it's only three days!" "Tieu Truong, sometimes three days are worth more than three years." "Is this what he said?" "That's right." "What kind of person is that Co Han Da?" "An investor." "Do you have money?" "Probably a lot." "What about personality?" "So far so good." "Handsome?" "Very very handsome." Tieu Truong pondered for a moment: "Noan Noan, I I think you've found the right person this time." "Why?" "Because you look really happy." "Really?" "Really happier than when you're with Giang Thanh." I think again... that's true. In five years with Giang Thanh, I have never felt this light. No pressure, no fatigue, just... comfortable and natural. That afternoon, Giang Thanh came to the company again. "Noan Noan, let's talk." "We have nothing to talk about." "You broke it off with To Phi." I raised my head to look at him: "So what?" "We can start again." "Giang Thanh, I'm married." Giang Thanh was stunned: "What?" "Yesterday I went to register my marriage." "With who?" "With my husband." "You lied!" - Giang Thanh spoke loudly - "How can you marry someone else?" "Why can't you?" "Don't you love me?" "Giang Thanh, have I ever said I love you?" My question made him choke up. "Noan Noan, you married someone else just to take revenge on me, right?" "I'm not that childish." "So tell me, who are you marrying?" "It's none of your business." "Lam Noan Noan!" – Giang Thanh was angry – “You can't treat me like that!” “How do I treat you?” “You betrayed our feelings!” I laughed: “Giang Thanh, you betrayed first.” “I didn't!” “So what is To Phi?” “She's nothing!” “So if she's nothing, why did you hug her?” Giang Thanh was speechless again. “Giang Thanh, go away.” - I bowed my head to work - "Don't come to me anymore." "Lam Noan Noan, you will regret it!" "I won't." Giang Thanh angrily left. My colleagues all looked at me. "Noan Noan, so cool!" – Tieu Truong applauded. "Thank you." After work, Co Han Da actually came to pick me up. It's still the black Mercedes from last night. As soon as I saw him, my mood immediately improved. "How was work today?" – He asked. “Pretty good.” “Is anyone giving you a hard time?” “No.” “That's good.” “Giang Thanh came to find you.” Co Han Da's hand tightened on the steering wheel: “What did he say?” “Want to go back.” “How do you answer?” “You said you were married.” “His reaction?” “Very angry.” “That's good.” “Good?” – I was surprised. "Because that proves he used to care about you." – Co Han Da glanced at me – "It's normal for a man to lose the person he cares about, it's normal to get angry." "Aren't you jealous?" "What's the point of being jealous? You've chosen me, right?" I nodded. "Besides..." - Co Han Da smiled - "I'm very confident in myself." "Confident of what?" "I'm more suitable for you than him." "How do you know?" "Because when I'm with you, I smile more sincerely than when I'm with you." "You can see it?" "From my smile." "Your smile?" "Yes. When I'm with you, I smile with all my heart." I thought for a moment... that's true. "Co Han Da, you're really good at observing." "That's a skill in your job." "Investment also requires observation?" "Of course. Investing is investing in people." I nodded. "What do you want to eat tonight?" –

He asked. “I decide.” “Then let's go to the supermarket, I'll cook for you.” “Okay.” We went to the supermarket. Co Han Da pushed the cart, I picked vegetables next to it. Like a long-married couple. “Do you want to eat fish?” – He asked. “Yes.” “What kind?” “If you know what kind to cook, choose that one.” He chose a grouper. “This is very expensive.” – I said. “It's okay.” “I can eat the cheap kind.” “Lam Noan Noan.” – He stopped, looked at me seriously – “You are my wife, I want to give you the best.” “But…” “There are no buts.” – He put the fish in the car – “I have the ability to give you a good life, why should I let you suffer?” “I wouldn't think so.” - He gently stroked my head - "Noan Noan, we are husband and wife, don't be polite to me." Hearing him say "we are husband and wife", my heart beat faster. Returning home, Co Han Da went into the kitchen. I stood next to his assistant. He cooks very well. “Where did you study?” – I asked. “Self-taught.” “Why learn to cook?” “Because I think cooking for the person you like is a very happy thing.” “The person you like?” He stopped and looked at me: “Yes. For example, you.” “Do you like me?” “We're married, what do you think?” “But I said I married you because my family urged us to get married.” “That's just one reason.” “Is there any other reason?” “The most important reason is... I liked you at first sight.”I stunned. “Really?”
