Chapter 3 — Holding Your Hand Walking Through The Past

That day, coincidentally, Tran Tieu Nhan was at my house playing games. Suddenly heard a knock on the door, Ta Dinh Van's low voice echoed outside: "Chu Nhu So, I sincerely apologize... I want to invite you to dinner, the restaurant I have already booked..." Tran Tieu Nhan immediately increased the volume, his voice resounding like a bronze bell: "General Manager Ta, Tieu So has a handsome man in my heart now, I don't want to have dinner with you. Stop dreaming!" Outside the door... suddenly there was silence. Not a sound. Not a word of rebuttal. Just like that, the silence lasted for a long time. 6 Before leaving, Ta Dinh Van stood outside the door, his voice low: "Chu Nhu So, you don't need to find reasons like that. If you really don't want to see me, then stop, I'm not the type of person who clings and won't let go." "In my previous life... I owed you something. In the future, if I need help with anything, as long as it's not too much, I will make it up to you." That day, after he left, Ta Dinh Van did not appear again. Tran Tieu Nhan is not assured. She boldly signed up for ten matchmaking service packages for me, as if she were running KPIs for some marriage brokerage company. At the same time, a rumor began to spread in the company: • Someone more than once saw Tham Le Bach in Ta Dinh Van's office. • There were also people who saw Tham Le Bach get into his Rolls-Royce Cullinan in the parking lot. The internal drama is clearly heating up. Meanwhile, I... was dragged to constant blind dates, the result: total failure. The reasons for failure are... obvious: • Most of the blind date subjects, frankly speaking, are not like normal people. • The rest are a little better... but looking at their faces, I can tell they don't feel anything. Tran Tieu Nhan refused to give up. A few days later, she sat thoughtfully like Zhuge Liang's military advisor. After that, she dragged me to the Sports University in the city, saying firmly: "I want to introduce you to a guy." This person's name is Ve Quang Chieu. According to Tieu Nhan... eight years later I will meet him. "After you divorced and lived alone, you just found out that he bought the villa next door. The two of you were close to each other for a long time, and finally became a couple." Me: "..." "You ask me how I know? Because my husband and I had already moved abroad at that time, I don't know the details." Then she patted my shoulder and calmly concluded: "That guy is also a rich young man with a bit of an unreliable personality. But... if you like, you can go on a date and play."{Read full at Van Ha Tuong page} I finished listening and said "yeah" indifferently. Hearing it, it didn't feel right. I'm the kind of person who's kind and peaceful, and doesn't fit into those types of "roaming, adventurous boys". However... As soon as I saw Ve Quang Chieu at the basketball court, I immediately... swallowed my saliva and gulped. Oh my God. One meter nine. Beautifully sculpted muscles. Every time I jump and jump, the stadium lights shine down, and I can clearly see eight abdominal muscles lined up in neat rows, just like high-end imported chocolate. The match is over. I… feel like I'm about to "commit a crime". “Quickly go give him water!” Tran Tieu Nhan pushed me hard. I staggered, my hands trembled holding the water bottle, stammering: "Brother... ah... brother, here's... your water." The script hadn't been finished yet, so I had to write it myself and grit my teeth. Ve Quang Chieu looked at me, slightly stunned, then the corner of his lips curled into a smile smiling, white teeth sparkling like a Colgate toothpaste ad. He took the bottle of water, took a sip, then opened his mouth and said in a low but light voice: "Thank you, sister... but this is not my water." … I: "???" My toes clenched, digging deep into the ground, wanting to find a hole to crawl into. What… isn't your water?! Are you... calling me clumsy? Or is it a hidden refusal? The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, as still as a sheet of paper. Ve Quang Chieu spoke again, his smile softening: "But... I accidentally drank it. Let's leave it like this, I'll ask for your WeChat and transfer money to pay you for the bottle of water." Me: “…” Brother, a bottle of water is eighteen dong, did you calculate that much? This... you don't care about me, right?! Just as I was busy crying silently inside, I suddenly heard someone shout: "Be careful!!!" A basketball flew straight towards me! Before I could react, Ve Quang Chieu rushed forward and pulled me into his arms with one hand. My body hit his solid chest, feeling... like a bounce. Oh my god... Hot sweat was all over his body, each drop rolling down from his sharp jawline to his neck. I sneaked a glance... just a little... The chest muscles clearly bounced, the eight-pack abs, each vein gently undulating with the breath. Oh my god… I swear I didn't mean to look! My face immediately turned red, my ears felt hot, and my brain seemed to smoke. Ve Quang Chieu bowed his head, his low voice rang in his ears: "Are you okay?" I immediately shook my head vigorously: "No... it's okay, it's okay, it's okay!" He frowned slightly, suddenly looking a bit awkward, his voice was low, as if deliberately lowering a level: "But hey... look, I just protected you. Drinking your bottle of water... isn't too much, right?" I was startled, then... kept nodding like a chicken pecking rice: "It's not too much! It's really not too much at all!!" “Sister, then… what reason do I have to ask for your WeChat?” I stood still, my brain immediately hung up. Ve Quang Chieu burst out laughing, his dimples clearly visible, smiling brightly like a big smart dog, both scoundrel and deadly seductive. This guy... really knows how to play. Just like Tran Tieu Nhan said - this rich young master is truly unreliable. But strangely... I don't mind at all. I also laughed "hehe", confidently opened the QR code: "No need for a reason. I give you a chance!" As soon as I turned around... I suddenly saw Ta Dinh Van standing not far away, his eyes as cold as ice, looking straight at me, without blinking. 7 【Ta Dinh Van】 Ta Dinh Van... has been reborn. He returned exactly the fifth year after divorcing me. At that time, he heard that I remarried. In that moment, he immediately boarded a private plane and flew through the night looking for me. But… right before boarding the plane, he suddenly collapsed. Diagnosis: flare-up of heart disease. Maybe… God has pity. When I opened my eyes, Ta Dinh Van was reborn at the age of 26, exactly one month before the fateful day - the day I "accidentally" fell into his arms. He remembers his previous life very clearly: That day, he was the one who proactively proposed a divorce. As for me... I don't hold back, I don't blame, I don't shed a single tear. At that moment, he breathed a sigh of relief. The next day, he went to Ta's mother's house as usual. But was refused an audience. Mother Ta closed the door tightly and coldly replied from afar: "I don't want to see you." She was angry, because she liked me. In my heart Madam, I am a gentle, gentle daughter-in-law who knows above and below. But if Ta Dinh Van didn't like it, she couldn't bear it. Love story... why reluctantly do it? Seven years have passed, he still doesn't love me. That day, Tham Le Bach walked into his office, carrying a meticulously prepared lunch box: • Exquisite makeup • Gentle phoenix eyes • Sweet smile like sugar • Charming, perfect body curves. She personally arranged each dish on the table, her gentle movements were like pouring honey into her heart. At that moment, Ta Dinh Van was momentarily stunned. But the meeting schedule was tight and there was a social party in the afternoon, so he didn't have time to eat the meal she prepared. In fact, between him and Tham Le Bach... the limit has never been crossed. When he proposed to divorce me, he also said clearly: "She and I are friends, childhood sweethearts, we don't have a shady relationship like you think." But... Tran Tieu Nhan didn't believe it. That day, she even made a special international call to scold him, her voice so sharp that it penetrated the speaker screen: "You scum! You wretched man! Neither you nor Tham Le Bach have the right to mention the name of Tieu Sister in my house!" His voice was full of spirit, not at all like a terminal cancer patient. Second month after divorce. After the divorce, Chu Nhu So left the company and completely disappeared from Tse Dinh Van's life. At first, he didn't feel anything special. Except for one time, while sitting in the villa, holding a glass of water in his hand, he unconsciously called out softly: "Chu Nhu So, pour me a glass of water." … But the large villa was left with only empty space. There was no reply. Even the maid wasn't there. At that moment, silence covered him. Second year after divorce. Suddenly, one day, Ta Dinh Van thought of Chu Nhu So. After that... the more I thought, the more I remembered. Miss you a lot. I miss it to the point of losing sleep. Perhaps seven years together is more important to him than he thought. Only now did he realize —— Unconsciously, he considered Chu Nhu So a relative. But at that time, during the divorce, the company was in financial crisis, so he couldn't give her much alimony. There is only that villa, which is considered property division. Sitting at the dining table, the food is presented very frugally. That's his taste, not at all like Chu Nhu So. Not just taste. There are many things, many details in life - he and she are inherently two parallel lines, without intersection. In the office, the secretary brought lunch. Ta Dinh Van conveniently opened the lunch box, frowned and asked: "Why... don't you cook any spicy dishes today?" He blurted out. Then immediately… froze. Because Chu Nhu So likes spicy food, which is completely different from him.
