Chapter 3
Chapter 3 — Going on a blind date and bumping into the General Boss
I don't know if Director Diem is harming people or not, but I know he is harming my wallet. Wanting to find a restaurant that makes him happy without making me feel sad is honestly not easy. His whole person exuded an aura: “I am very expensive.” After carefully considering the cost of gasoline, I finally chose a Spanish restaurant with a stable style, acceptable prices, good reviews, and sent it to Diem Thoi. He answered with a noble "Yes", as if he agreed. What made me happy was that after work, I was able to ride his car again. I have to admit, this car is not unreasonably expensive, this leather chair is much more comfortable than the seat at my company! The restaurant I chose was decorated very delicately. If you ignore the fact that across from me is Diem Thoi, this is a great place for a date. I took the menu, wondering if I should thank him first, or explain the story from yesterday first. Saying it out loud sounds like I did it on purpose. If I don't speak, I'll see that something is wrong. "Director Diem—" I had just opened my mouth when a familiar voice rang out: "Tu Tu?" Huh? I was stunned and raised my head, immediately making eye contact with... my parents. ???“Dad, Mom?”Hearing my voice, Diem Thoi also turned around. I clearly saw my parents' eyes stopping on me for less than a second and then immediately turning to Diem Thoi. In just a short moment, their eyes lit up with a bright light full of joy at the same time. "Tu Tu, is this... your boyfriend?"??? Before I could even begin to explain, they quickly ran over. A minute later, Diem Thoi and I sat on the same side, my parents sat opposite. My mother winked at me repeatedly. "Tu Tu, why don't you introduce yourself a little?" I choked up: "..." Diem Thoi paused slightly, tilted his head to me, warm breath tickled my ear, his low voice carried a hint of teasing: "Ninh Tu Tu, no matter how pleased you are with me, is it a bit early to meet the parents now?" "..." Damn it! 5 I want to explain, but in a situation like this, opening your mouth will kill you no matter what. Secretly raising his head to look at his parents sitting across from him, the two of them laughed so much that their mouths could not be closed, and their eyes also carried the typical indulgent look of parents when they see a "little couple" being intimate and sweet. "..."It's not what you two think ah ah! At first, I thought this meal would be so embarrassing that I couldn't swallow it, but unexpectedly, from beginning to end, Diem Thoi was extremely polite and courteous. Whatever my parents asked, he answered very patiently, even taking the opportunity to introduce some Spanish dishes on the table. No matter how you look at it, it is a genuine, impeccable model of "people's children". My parents were even happier. "That's right, I haven't heard from Tu Tu yet. How did you two know each other?" My father asked curiously. I quickly interrupted: "We work for the same company!" My father nodded: "Ah, a colleague!" Well... if Dad really wants to understand it in that sense, then... it's not so wrong... "I didn't expect Tu Tu to have such an excellent colleague." My mother looked at Diem Thoi, her eyes were extremely satisfied. “You two must be very busy with work, right?” Diem Thoi: “It's okay.” My mother waved her hand: "Listen to what Tu Tu said, the boss at your company is a very meticulous person, he must be very tired!" Me: “……” Diem Thoi paused, raised his eyebrows and glanced at me. With just one look, I felt like my life was over. He slowly opened his mouth: "Tu Tu—she hasn't told you two yet, actually I—" Before I could think, I immediately grabbed his sleeve and gently pulled it a few times. Don't say that! Let me save some dignity! I know it's not good to let my parents misunderstand, but I don't want to listen to them complain all day! I absolutely believe that if I say Diem Thoi is not my boyfriend, my parents will give it to me tomorrow morning
Ten pictures of the object of my eyes came to make me choose! If it weren't for this reason, I wouldn't have definitely agreed to Tan Dao's proposal. Diem Thoi looked down at my hand holding his sleeve, stopped for a moment, then raised his head to look at me. His eyes are very dark, his eyelashes are long, at this close distance, his gaze makes people feel focused and serious. I looked at him with pleading eyes, like a puppy waiting to be forgiven. A moment later, he moved his eyes away and changed the topic. We must admit, there are people who are born with an overwhelming temperament, and with just a small move, they can easily control the situation. My parents were still immersed in the joy of "the more the son-in-law looks at it, the more he likes it", completely unaware of anything unusual in that little paragraph. The time of torment finally ended, before leaving, my mother secretly gave me a thumbs up. "Tu Tu is great!" Me: "..." Leaving the restaurant, I secretly looked at Diem Thoi who was walking next to me, mustered up the courage to say: "Director Diem, I'm really sorry! I swear what happened today is just a coincidence!" Even though we live in the same city, my parents' house is quite far from the company, so I moved out. Who would have thought that today two people would get excited and run this far to... go on a date?! Diem Thoi did not understand: "It's okay, sooner or later it will happen." ??? Why does something sound so strange? The matter between parents can still be hidden for now, but with Diem Thoi it must be clarified soon. Before I could speak, Diem Thoi got in the car first and looked at me signaling: get in the car. I firmly shook my head: "I can go home by myself!" After all, it's not really a date, so how dare I be so bold? Diem Thoi looked at me: "Are you sure?" My stomach suddenly ached, I hugged the car door, my face pale, desperate: "...It seems, not sure."6Diem Thoi took me to the hospital, the result: acute gastritis. I'm really depressed. How many times do you not choose, but choose this moment to get sick? That's good, now I owe Diem Thoi another favor. "Little girl, your boyfriend really loves you!" Next to me was another patient aunt looking at me admiringly, "Just now he has been struggling all the time because of me!" I tried to open my mouth: "Auntie, you misunderstood, he is not my boyfriend." "Huh?" She was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, "So it's your husband?" Me: "..." I was about to explain when she suddenly looked behind me: "Little girl, your husband is home!" I: ??? I instinctively turned my head and immediately met Diem Thoi's eyes. There is an indescribable... ray in it. “……”
