Chapter 6 — From Best Friends to Strangers

That's right, one third of life, just like that, is wasted. I said softly:

“Tran Du Chau, don't call me 'Tinh Tinh'.”

“Hearing that makes me feel terrible.”

I slowly withdrew my hand.

"You said that if you want to change my identity, you have to accept the pain of losing me after the change, that's what you deserve."

“As I said at the beginning, if we break up, we won't be friends.”

“Let go.”

I looked at him, watching tears fall drop by drop. Watching him finally let go. The car had just driven a few dozen meters when I suddenly heard Tran Du Chau's trembling voice behind me.

“I don't share.”

“Phuong Tinh, I'm not breaking up.”

“Give me one more chance!”

Through the rearview mirror, I saw a figure running behind the car. I have never seen Tran Du Chau so disheveled. After decades of instinct, I still can't help but soften my heart.

“Uncle Truong.”

My voice choked. Staring at the running figure.

“Run quickly, cut him off.”

I vigorously wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes. Until the figure completely disappeared. Tears fell more intensely. It was almost impossible to suppress the sobs in my chest. I suddenly felt lucky, fortunately I had used the method of cutting off contact to get through the most difficult time. The "detox" period after the breakup was the most painful time, I even thought. In these wealthy families, few people are clean. Tran Du Chau and I knew each other like that, had so many beautiful memories, if he could take Wen Tu Tinh away, if he could guarantee me no more contact with her in the future... Then I slapped myself. You can cry, but don't soften your heart, and don't turn your head. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of being betrayed over and over again? Slowly, I believe time will heal everything. I will also have a new life.

8. Tran Canh Ky is like a classic boyfriend. Will seriously plan each trip. I will carefully remember the brands I like, and each season new products will be sent to me immediately. In addition to necessary business trips. We see each other almost every day, even when he works abroad, we still have to make sure to video call for an hour. Furthermore, regularly ask for my opinion, and make serious adjustments based on my thoughts. The only bad point is that sometimes he is too straightforward.

“I like your abs and chest muscles.”

I looked at the person on the other side of the screen wearing only half a towel. Face immediately turned red.

"Tran Canh Ky, don't slander me!"

After getting closer, I discovered that this person is sometimes very "mean" in a discreet way!

“It seems like I really like it.”

Tran Canh Ky opened the note to write it down. Under my vehement objection, he suddenly burst out laughing, so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off. But I still angrily turned away. Until, out of nowhere, Tran Canh Ky took out a pearl necklace, hung it around his neck, and leaned close to the camera.

“Baby, are you really not watching?”

Watch! If you don't watch it, it's a waste. I tried to stay calm and quickly took a few photos.

“Wait until I get home so I can check to see if the muscles are real.”

Time passed very quickly, the wedding day that Tran Du Chau and I had previously planned was approaching. I was afraid that Tran Canh Ky was thinking too much and was about to ask him to choose another day. He said seriously:

“I want to marry you The sooner the better.”

"Phuong Tinh, actually, you always lack a sense of security."

“Because you're so good, I'm afraid there are other men out there seducing you.”

I was both angry and amused.

“What strange movies have you been watching lately?”

“I told you, don't learn nonsense!”

Mr. Tran was afraid of causing trouble on Tran Du Chau's wedding day, so he specially took both him and Wen Si Qing abroad in advance. He's old now, and if he doesn't want to manage it, he can't manage it anymore.

"That naughty boy, I have never controlled his love life, but it's clear that that girl named On has psychological problems, he still wants to be with me."

“Even doing such evil things! It has ruined the Tran family's dignity."

"If it wants to hit its head against the wall, let it hit it. Now if it doesn't want to hit it, we have to push its head in and hit it!"

I reluctantly laughed. Unexpectedly, at the wedding, I saw Chu Dat secretly standing next to Tran Canh Ky. When I discovered him, he was startled.

“What is going on?” I asked seriously.

Chu Dat scratched his head sheepishly.

"Mr. Chau is so incompetent at his job, at first I didn't intend to help Mr. Canh Ky."

I immediately connected everything.

“Those words that day? Did you ask on purpose so I could find out?”

Chu Dat smiled bitterly:

"Miss Phuong, don't scold me, I'm really innocent. After finding out, I thought of a way to let you know the truth."

I patted his shoulder.

“Let's consider it reasonable, let's go to the party.”

I smiled, turned around to look for Tran Canh Ky. But I saw Tran Du Chau wearing a black suit, standing at the door. He looked at me, pulling out an awkward smile.

“Phuong Tinh.”
