Chapter 2 — My Ex-Fiance and My Secret Lover

Seven or eight people stood in a row, I stood on his left, Luu Vi Vi stood on his right. The moment the photo was taken, his left arm hugged me, but his body's center of gravity tilted to the right, towards Luu Vi Vi. As for me, I foolishly raised my hand in a V in front of the camera, smiling carelessly without any defense. Before getting married, it is normal for people to lament the passing of their youth. If it were normal, I wouldn't think much of it. But now, it was after he complained to Luc Ngon about the mistake, then posted such a post. Surely your heart is full of regret. My heart felt choked and uncomfortable. But I feel like, just because I found out that the person he initially looked at was not me, do I have to make a fuss about breaking up? Five years of love and sweet happiness are all real. I consoled myself: Who was the person I was shaking at first? Is it really that important? There are not many such 100% perfect beginnings in this world. Anyway, the current result is good, isn't it? I washed my face in front of the mirror, forcing myself to suppress those chaotic thoughts.

Luu Vi Vi returned. She was the bridesmaid invited by me, flying back specifically to attend the wedding. For this windy party, Tran Hang stood in front of the mirror for half an hour. Hair was combed twice, shirts changed three times before choosing. Luu Vi Vi has a tall figure, bright red lips, very brilliant and outstanding. I say very seriously:

"Vi Vi, I admire you very much. After graduating, you came to the capital to develop, start a business, strive, and be an independent woman. Unlike me, you like to stay at home more and more, your life circle is getting smaller and smaller."

Liu Vi Vi sighed.

"Don't mention it again. I lost a lot of money when I started my business, and I also met a scammer who was also a prostitute. He had an affair and then ran away."

She raised her eyes and looked at me.

"Tieu Y, you don't know how cruel the outside world is. I really admire you. Living in a small, comfortable city, having parents to help, a stable job, buying a house, about to marry a rich second generation like Tran Hang, not worrying about food and clothes. How peaceful life is."

"The important thing is that the two of you are still your first love, you fell in love as soon as you met. This kind of magical love is very rare nowadays. I have lost all hope, I don't even dare to think about it."

Tran Hang's hand trembled, the tea spilled out. I saw him purse his lips, smiling awkwardly. I think, in your heart, you must hate Luc Ngon very much. The waiter brought up a plate of steamed crabs. Tran Hang knows I like to eat, so normally he will definitely be the first person to pick it up for me. This time, he also moved his chopsticks first, chose the largest one on the plate, and placed it in Luu Vi Vi's bowl. I took a look at him. He immediately picked another one for me.

"The guest must eat the biggest one. Now, this one is the second largest, give it to the wife!"

In the middle of the meal, Luu Vi Vi went to the bathroom. Tran Hang just happened to receive Luc Ngon's phone call and went out to pick Luc Ngon up. I waited for a long time but still no one came back, so I got up and went out to see. But just as I turned the corner in the hallway, I heard Tran Hang's voice.

“You know, if it weren't for a small misunderstanding, the person standing next to me tomorrow would be you!”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

That's Luu Vi Vi's voice. I lightly walked over and saw Tran Hang blocking the door, not letting Luu Vi Vi leave. Liu Wei Wei lower voice:

“You drank too much!”

"I don't drink alcohol. I just ask one question, if the person I pursued that year was you, would you agree?"

"Get out of the way. Tran Hang, I hope you don't betray Hua Y. He's my best friend!"

"It's because I didn't want to disappoint her that I went with her today!"

Tran Hang was so impatient that his face turned red.

"I won't blame her for the rest of my life, but today, I want to do something that's not wrong with myself! Liu Vi Vi, the person I just met and fell in love with is you! Over the years, I've gotten used to Hua Y. She's like... the everyday life I'm breathing. But you... you're the moments that make me unable to breathe!"

The hallway was quiet for a few seconds, Luu Vi Vi was stunned.

"Why are you saying these words now? I'm getting married tomorrow!"

"We're only getting married tomorrow. Aren't we still getting married now?"

He placed one hand on the wall next to her face, forming a "wall pressing" position. Luu Vi Vi suddenly became speechless. Tran Hang's head slowly lowered, reaching for her lips... My heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife. I bit my lip, trying to hold back my tears. That's right. Isn't it still over now? Then no more ending. I turned around and went out, unexpectedly bumping into someone. It was Luc Ngon who was late for the flight, wearing a suit, just rushing back from a business trip. He must have seen the scene just now, his whole body was a bit stunned. I didn't have time to greet him, picked up my bag and walked straight out the restaurant door. Luc Ngon followed behind. I didn't turn back.

"Luc Ngon, I know you and Tran Hang have a good relationship, but don't advise me. I won't do this wedding anymore."

Unexpectedly, he walked faster than me, a few steps ahead, helping me push the restaurant window open.

“I don't intend to advise you.”

Luc Ngon said calmly.

“Besides, the relationship between me and him is not that good.”
