Chapter 1 — Honeymoon Leaves Only Divorce

On the third day after getting married, my husband took his secretary to the island for their honeymoon. Receiving his call telling me to prepare to board the plane, I calmly said "yes". The other end of the line came from the secretary's cooing voice mixed with sobbing and crying:

"Madam Bui, it's all my fault that I booked the wrong ticket. Don't blame Mr. Bui, it's all my fault."

Bui Tinh Nghieu whispered and coaxed her for a long time, then with a bit of impatience said to me: "Tieu Tieu, don't be unreasonable and cause trouble, tomorrow's ticket is the same." The next day, the thing landed on that island, There was only a divorce agreement.

“Just because of this little matter?”

“Yes, just because of this little matter.”

Half a month later, I met Bui Tinh Nghieu again. As soon as he entered the house, out of habit he frowned, his face cold and began to question me. It was as if I wasn't his newlywed wife, but his negotiating partner, or even his subordinate.

"Tieu Tieu, you haven't worked for three years, leaving me, how will you live?"

Bui Tinh Nghieu walked closer, looked at me with lowered eyes, trying to suppress the frustration in his eyes.

"Lam Tieu," he softened his voice, "If because of the honeymoon you can't swallow your anger, I'm sorry. You also know that Thinh Phong's General Ly was also resting on the island at that time. I haven't been back these past few days to try to get the contract, not to intentionally treat you like that."

"Furthermore, Vu Tinh had already booked a ticket for you the next day, you were still angry and didn't go, deliberately using the divorce matter to torture me," he grumbled and reproached.

He patiently explained, from beginning to end still thinking that the problem lay with that flight. I even felt like I was making a fool of myself. But he didn't know, on the day he found out he had misplaced the plane ticket, he agreed with me to change the ticket, but I accidentally read the messages on his phone and his secretary Vu Tinh:

"Mr. Bui, if I change my ticket, I won't be able to fly with you anymore."

"Besides... I've never really been on a plane for that long alone, I'm so scared."

“It's okay, I'll go with you.”

Bui Tinh Nghieu's answer always brings such a feeling of peace of mind and certainty. Unfortunately, that peace of mind is not for me. I don't bother explaining further. Bend over and pull out the drawer, take out a new divorce petition, sign it, and give it to him.

“I have already entrusted the lawyer, the specific division of assets can only be done through the lawyer.”

“The company that is today is partly your effort. In terms of assets, you can rest assured.”

Bui Tinh Nghieu lowered his eyes and assessed me: "Lam Tieu, have you thought carefully? We've been married for less than a month, and you already want a divorce?"

“In that case, what was the point of getting married in the first place?”

Why get married? This question should have been asked by Bui Tinh Nghieu. Half a year ago, I wanted to break up because of Vu Tinh's situation. It was Bui Tinh Nghieu who hugged me, cried and begged, saying he couldn't live without me.

“You and Vu Tinh really have nothing.”

“It's just a superior-subordinate relationship.”

"It was raining heavily that day. I felt sorry for her so I took her home."

"I swear, there will never be a next time. Tieu Tieu, don't leave me, I love you."

To prove it, he also transferred Vu Tinh to a subsidiary of the group, Replaced by a male secretary. This even became a hot topic of discussion throughout the company. In just 5 months, proposing, getting engaged, getting married, Bui Tinh Nghieu was all busy preparing. He once created for me an illusion of an extremely good and sweet married life like a dream. That's why our wedding happened half a month ago. I admit, 8 years of youth together is not easy to forget, and I really can't bear it. And Bui Tinh Nghieu should also feel lucky, because everyone has the ability to reminisce about the past. But he can only use this death immunity card once. Looking back at the house I once decorated myself, I suddenly felt like I didn't know where to start cleaning, any item could open the valve of my memories. Sitting quietly for a while, I stood up, stuffed some simple clothes, pulled my suitcase and walked out the door. Bui Tinh Nghieu stood right at the door, coldly watching: "Do you have to make yourself look like that?"

"As soon as I got home, you asked me to leave. You have to make a mess to stand it, don't you, Lam Tieu?"

Hearing these words, I just feel tired. He still sees me as a child who is using running away from home as a threat.

“Think whatever you think.”

“Remember to sign the divorce papers.”

After speaking, I turned and walked away. I don't need it anymore, I have put so much effort into decorating and 8 years of love. He thought I didn't know, on the second day after getting married, Bui Tinh Nghieu was eager to bring Vu Tinh back to his side. He thought I didn't see that during the past year, the two people's detailed chats had long exceeded the limits of superiors and subordinates. He thought I didn't know that the day he flew to the island was Vu Tinh's birthday, and that night the two of them shared a suite. Oh, right, there's more. Vu Tinh sent me a photo of Bui Tinh Nghieu covered in kiss marks that night. The honeymoon trip that originally belonged to me was experienced by someone else, and it was also broadcast live in real time on social networks for me to see... Such a good opportunity to provoke, she took it well. But... Just a man who had a change of heart, for her. But clearly, Vu Tinh did not want to let me go.

"Miss Tieu Tieu, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you at the hospital. Recently you had an argument with Mr. Bui, so angry that you got sick?"

As she spoke, she deliberately waved the ultrasound card in her hand: "Mr. Bui is really rude. As soon as she became pregnant, she forced me to go to the doctor immediately, afraid that the baby would suffer a disadvantage." Seeing that I didn't say anything, Vu Tinh proudly rushed forward.

"That's right, Ms. Tieu Tieu, I still have to thank you. The house is beautifully and neatly decorated. When I moved in, my mood also improved."

I raised my eyes and looked: "Are you finished?" Perhaps the previous few provocations, my failure to respond gave her the illusion that she had the upper hand. It's just a pity that I'm not a soft persimmon that's easy to shape. I didn't look for her just because I was an eyesore and afraid of lowering my own value. But if she dared to swing the ax past the worker right in front of me, then there was no need to hold back anymore. Chat! A slap hit her square in the face. She was stunned for a long moment.

“You dare to hit me?”

“Based on what!”

I looked at her from above with half an eye,

“Only based on one point: Finance If the property has not been divided for a day, I will still be Mrs. Bui."

“Not being able to enter the main house yet, you hastily offered yourself, isn't that so resounding?”

“Be careful, I won't divorce you, you won't be able to get back up in this life. When you move in, you will have to pack it up the same way."

Didn't expect me to be so tough. Vu Tinh was scolded by me and his face turned red.

“Ah yes,”

“The designer bag you're carrying, the sheepskin shoes you're wearing,

Even the money she used to go for prenatal checkups, it was probably all money given to her by Bui Tinh Nghieu. Those are all common assets during the marriage."
