Chapter 12 — Late Love You

"The past few days I haven't been able to eat well and sleep well. Thinking about you no longer being at home waiting for me to come home, I don't dare to walk home from the company." He no longer has the arrogant, cold, distant look like before. The voice trembled like a kite with a broken string struggling in the cold wind.

"Later I realized, I've been used to having you for a long time, and I can't do without you. You like spicy food, but because I have to make bland nutritious dishes. You like to wear clothes that flatter your figure, but you're committed to being a virtuous lady by my side."

"You wanted me to travel with you, you wanted to go to the North to see a huge snowfall, I never thought I would help you do it. Actually, I remember all those things, only when you left, I belatedly realized I was wrong, I was too miserable. Now I understand, I have loved you since I didn't know..."

I quietly listened to Pho Canh Tham's self-love words, with all kinds of mixed emotions rising in my heart. If it were half a month ago, hearing these words would have made me so happy that I would jump up and down. But now when I listen back, I just find it ridiculous, without any sense of joy. Pho Canh Tham's sincerity came too late. When I longed for it, he didn't give it to me. Now he brings his sincere heart to me, and I don't want it anymore.

“You feel very sudden, very surprised, right?”

Deputy Canh Tham wanted to hold my hand, but when he saw me standing motionless, his outstretched hand cautiously pulled back, as if afraid that one movement would hurt me. There was a time when I was just as humble before you, but now my status seems to have changed.

"Chi Chi, I've never been in love, I'm not familiar with these things. Now I understand my feelings clearly, can you give me another chance?"

Deputy Canh Tham looked at me, his eyes filled with pleading, and finally reached out to me. I held his hand and smiled softly. Next, in front of his expectant and happy eyes, I firmly and decisively pushed his hand away.

“Sorry, I won't turn back anymore.”

The wedding had not yet ended, Pho Canh Tham had already left. Outsiders didn't know what happened to us in the hallway. They only commented that it seemed like we were really divorced, with no possibility of going back anymore. … Deputy Canh Tham seemed to feel sorry for me. My company and Linh Linh have just been established, he has silently or openly used his relationships to bring me many job opportunities. I know the big bosses won't pay attention to a small company like mine. They come to look up to Pho Canh Tham. But I don't criticize either. Termites come to your door to make money, why don't you accept? I generously accept these partnerships. Originally a small company that was not highly appreciated by outsiders, under the efforts of me and Linh Linh, business has prospered extremely well. It's just that every time I'm so busy that I want to steal a break, I can't help but think of Pho Canh Tham and the day I attended the wedding. The last conversation in the hallway that day. I said: "Now Luu Kha Y is tied to you. Whenever you mention her, the tail behind is definitely you. Everyone knows she has plans for you, everyone is hoping for the two of you to become a couple."

“Now you run Come and say these words to me, aren't you afraid that she will be heartbroken?"

Deputy Canh Tham just smiled bitterly: "That support is just gossip from outsiders. I never thought I would be with her, what she thinks has nothing to do with me. In my heart, I only consider her as a close sister." Sister? I raised my eyebrows.

“Even though you've come to this point, you still open your mouth to call your sister. Pho Canh Tham, you really treat me like an idiot to make fun of."
