Chapter 8 — Lie Diem Tam Tam

For some reason, these images keep repeating in my mind. Even though a year had passed, his body was still heating up out of control and his throat was dry. At this moment, the phone in the office suddenly rang, and the secretary's voice interrupted his thoughts: "Chief, Mrs. Wen has arrived, currently walking towards your office." Right after that, the office door was pushed open. Wen Tri Ha wore an elegant cheongsam, her hair was combed without a single strand of tangle: "Chien Dinh, I'll come wait for you to get off work. Mom said, let's go to the Luc family's house tonight for dinner." In an instant, the dreamy illusions in Luc Chien Dinh's mind disappeared, leaving only cold reality. He rolled his throat, adjusted his tie, stood up and replied: "Okay." In the days that followed, Luc Chien Dinh fell into a suffocating cycle. Every day of working and living according to a pattern, living boring, repetitive days, it's like clouds accumulate in my heart that can't go away. In addition, having just gotten married, the Luc family was constantly urging them to have children, and On Tri Ha kept nagging in his ear every day about wanting to have children. But every time he heard the word "child", Luc Chien Dinh's heart skipped a beat, he was so frustrated that he couldn't breathe. That day, facing Wen Tri Ha's initiative to get closer, he instinctively pushed her away. On Tri Ha couldn't believe it, his eyes were red, he cried and shouted: "Luc Chien Dinh, don't tell me you can't do it! I don't care, I just want to have a child!" Her crying gave Luc Chien Dinh a splitting headache, his heart was filled with fatigue and disgust, and in the end, he slammed the door and left. Late that night, he drove to the clubhouse bar where there had been a fire. The wine cabinet on the first floor has long been replaced, and the second floor hallway has also been renovated, leaving absolutely no trace of the old days. He tilted his head back to drink a glass of strong drink, and the image of that day suddenly appeared in his mind: To Thanh Dien was tied up hand and foot by him and thrown into the hallway, his eyes filled with unwillingness, despair, as well as deep self-mockery and sobriety. Even though she bit her lip, she refused to shed tears in front of him. But at that time, he completely hugged Wen Tri Ha and left, leaving her alone in a sea of smoke and fire. Thinking of this, he grabbed a passing waiter and asked: "Some time ago there was a fire here. There was a woman in the hallway on the second floor. Who saved her?" The waiter thought about it and suddenly woke up: "Ah, you're talking about Miss To, right? She was choking on the smoke and passed out. In the end, firefighters rescued her. When the stretcher came out, she was already foaming at the mouth. It is said that if she had waited a little longer, she would have lost her life." His chest felt like it had been stung by a painful bee. Luc Chien Dinh hugged his chest and took another large gulp of wine. At this moment, he suddenly realized that all the pain today was self-inflicted. It was you, selfish and miserable, who single-handedly destroyed the rose that you once held in the palm of your hand. This self-blame, tension and sadness accumulates day by day, causing a once calm military region leader to gradually reach the brink of losing control. Things completely blew up a few months later at a charity party. That night, On Tri Ha took his arm, with a gentle and gentle expression, and joined him. The two seemed to be a good match, of course attracting a lot of gossip. "Look, Captain Luc left a woman like To Thanh Dien, and went with Mrs. On, how well suited he is." "Isn't that right? To Thanh Dien was originally a cruel woman, her personal life is so chaotic, who knows who the father is!" "It's been a few months since she left? I heard someone saw her in London, next door.

There are a few men surrounding me, I'm sure I won't be able to settle down if I go abroad, maybe one day I'll bring a dirty disease to my body..." That person's words had not yet finished, just hearing a "clang" sound, Luc Chien Dinh slammed the wine glass in his hand. He quickly walked forward, grabbed the collar of the person who had just spoken, and swung a punch: "I warn you, speak cleanly!" That punch was extremely cruel, the man who was beaten immediately had a bloody nose. But Luc Chien Dinh clearly wasn't angry yet, so he swung his fist to knock down the person next to him. The crowd around them instantly fell silent, leaving only Luc Chien Dinh's cold, bone-piercing voice: "Remember, if you dare say a bad word about To Thanh Dien, I will let you all taste more pain than this!" He clearly lost control, in the end, On Tri Ha rushed forward and pulled his arm back: "Chien Dinh, this is a dinner party, how can you go crazy because of To Thanh Dien in front of so many people!" Luc Chien Dinh pushed her hand away, he pulled back his tie, and strode out of the hall. Behind, there was a scream carrying Wen Tri Ha's cry: "Luc Chien Dinh, stop for me!" That day, after leaving, he went straight to a nearby bar. A few glasses of strong wine in his stomach, his anger had just subsided when he overheard the conversation of the next table.
