Chapter 7 — After Divorce, She Made The Whole River City Bow Its Heads

As for To Thanh Nhan, standing next to Co Tram Chu, she suddenly felt like everyone's eyes were mocking her. Mocking her, she racked her brains to find a plan, wanting to take over the title "Old Lady". But she fought back and forth, and the person who defeated her was someone who basically didn't care about that position. This hurts more than any slap. In the rest area, after chatting a few words with some seniors in the industry, Lam Van finally found space and stepped out onto the balcony to enjoy the fresh air. The night wind brought cold air, blowing away the mixed scent of perfume and fake greetings in the room. Just as she picked up a glass of water, familiar footsteps were heard behind her.

“Lam Van.”

She didn't turn back. Co Tram Chu stood two steps away from her, was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "Why didn't you tell me?" Lam Van smiled softly: "Tell me what?"

“Tell me you are Y.N, tell me you are good at restoring antiques, tell me you are not—”

“Not the kind of person you think?” Lam Van interrupted him and finally turned around to look at him, her eyes carrying a bit of coldness, "Co Tram Chu, what right do you have to think that I have an obligation to declare these things to you?"

Co Tram Chu's throat moved and for a moment he didn't know what to say. Three years of marriage. They live together under the same roof. But he never seriously asked her what she did in the past, what she liked, and what she was good at. Even the design sketches she often drew in her room, he never glanced at. Because from the beginning, he was convinced that she was just an ordinary woman who wanted to borrow from the Co family to climb high. As for her, she has never explained herself.

"I just..." Co Tram Chu's voice lowered a bit, "I didn't expect it."

“I didn't expect that I'm not as ordinary as you imagined, right?”

Lam Van looked at him, her tone was very calm, so calm that it was almost cruel.

"Co Tram Chu, you actually did nothing wrong. You're just too arrogant."

"From the bottom of my bones, I always think that everyone in this world must revolve around me, must prove to me that they are qualified to stand by my side. But I forget, not everyone desires the Co family's love of marriage, nor does every woman consider marrying me a lifelong honor."

Co Tram Chu's fingers tightened slightly: "So why did you agree to get married in the first place?" This question, in the end, he still asked. Lam Van was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. That smile carried some self-mockery, as well as coldness after seeing through everything.

“Because at that time, I really liked you.”

Co Tram Chu's pupils shrank.

"Many years ago, you probably don't remember at all. One time my bag was robbed in an alley, and you passed by and asked the driver to get out of the car to help me. Then I learned that you were the eldest young master of the Co family."

"At that time, I was young and felt like he was a hero falling from the sky."

"Later, the Co family's grandfather wanted to get you engaged. You needed someone to deal with the family, and I also needed a quiet identity, to complete some work that I didn't want to make public. He opened the door, and I immediately agreed."

“Real So I thought, even if you don't love me, at least you will respect me."

“But three years later, I discovered I was wrong.”

With every word she said, Co Tram Chu's face turned even more pale. I remember that alley. It was many years ago, so long ago that even he himself had almost forgotten. It turned out that she liked him, starting from that moment. And in these three years, he actually forced someone to fall in love with him, and his life was gradually eroded into the shape he is today.
