Chapter 13 — He Never Looked Back

"There's nothing wrong with the flowers." He took the umbrella back and sneezed. "Besides, if you leave it there, the cleaning lady will be very annoying." I laughed out loud. Chu Minh looked at me and smiled too. Before getting in the car, he seriously asked: "You said earlier that you were willing to try liking me, do you agree to let me pursue?" "Calculate half." "What about the other half?" "Look at the performance." He immediately opened the car door to help me. "Invite Director Hua to get in the car, from now on I will start showing off." After dating Chu Minh, I knew how comfortable a normal relationship could be. The first time he asked me out to eat, he immediately told everyone around him that he was pursuing me. The day he confirmed their relationship, he posted a public status line, but the photo had been asked for my permission in advance. Some people doubted that my promotion was thanks to him. He did not force me to step back to "avoid jealousy", but directly publicized the project evaluation data, proving that each step of my promotion had a clear basis. He said: "Opening our relationship is my attitude, publicizing our achievements is respect for you." A year later, Chu Minh proposed to me. There are no noisy spectators, nor are there any moral constraints. He just took me back to the place where we first shared an umbrella, took out the ring and asked: "Hua Dong, are you willing to let me always wait for you in the future, accompany you, and move forward with you?" I stretched out my hand. "I'm willing." When Chu Minh put the ring on me, a flash of car light suddenly flashed in the distance. I didn't see, Ly Tu was sitting in that car, looking at us for a long time through the rain. In the end he didn't get off the bus. Just like what I had expected countless times, he finally learned not to bother me anymore. Unfortunately it's too late. 10 One month before the wedding, I went to the shopping center to choose a wedding gift and coincidentally met To Yen. She had short hair, wore a normal business suit, and was holding a little girl. Seeing me, she was stunned for a long time. "Dong Dong." I politely nodded. She proactively explained: "This is my sister's child. Currently I am working as an office worker for an educational center." "Very good." "I heard you are getting married, congratulations." She saw the ring on my hand, her eyes were briefly complicated, but she quickly smiled with relief. "Before, I thought, as long as others were jealous of me, I would live very well." "Later I moved to a city no one knew, new Realizing that there is no need to guess other people's preferences, nor need to act everywhere, the days pass more smoothly. "I didn't comment on her change. There are hurts that will not automatically disappear just because the person who caused them regrets. But I'm no longer interested in continuing to hate her. Before I left, To Yen called me back. "Ly Tu's life isn't very good." "After quitting his job, he started his own business, but his projects kept failing. I heard the house was sold." "He still hasn't met anyone new." I looked at her. "There's no need to tell me these things." To Yen paused slightly, then bowed her head slightly to apologize. "Sorry, I took it upon myself again." She took the child and left. I stood still in place, not a single wave in my heart. Only later did I hear from former colleagues that Ly Tu's failure to start a business was not entirely due to bad luck. Back when he was at the company, he was used to having someone take care of all the details for him. That person is me. I checked the contract, finalized the plan for him, and prepared all backup answers when the customer had doubts.
