Chapter 6 — Seven Years, Letting Go Once

Bui Nghien Tu stared at me.

"What do you mean?"

I hugged Doan Doan and went straight to the bedroom. The suitcase is still under the bed. For seven years... The things that belong to me are actually not much. Some clothes. Old photos of my mother. The fountain pen my father left behind. And a copy of the share dossier I just received. On Chieu Tuyet followed to the door.

"Miss Van Duong, don't be like that. Mr. Nghien Tu will be very sad."

I took out the nightgown from the closet. Throw it straight into the trash bag. The smile on her face immediately stiffened. Bui Nghien Tu stood behind her, his voice suddenly became tense.

"Where are you going?"

I zipped the suitcase. Tong Lan Anh was the first to laugh.

"This game again? Last time we argued, you said to move out. In the end, didn't you still obediently bring food to the company for Nghien Tu the next day?"

Bui Kien An snorted coldly.

"Women really can't be pleased."

Bui Nghien Tu's expression also relaxed a bit. Like he was sure... I was just sulking. He entered the room, reaching out to pick up the suitcase.

"Alright."

"Stop acting."

I avoided his hand. His expression immediately darkened.

"So Van Duong."

"If you step foot out this door tonight..."

"Then don't come back anymore."

Before... I was most afraid of that sentence. Every time he fights a cold war... The one who bows first is always me. I'm afraid that seven years of love will be lost in one moment of impulsiveness. I'm afraid he really doesn't need me anymore. From now on, there will be no one left to accompany me through my youth. But now... I just see noise. I put the keys on the cabinet in the mysterious entrance.

"I paid the rent until the end of this month."

"The remaining deposit... I won't take it anymore."

Bui Nghien Tu was stunned. Tong Lan Anh's face also changed.

"What do you mean?"

"So where will we stay?"

I looked at her.

"That's your business."

Wen Chieu Tuyet gently held Bui Nghien Tu's arm.

"Mr. Nghien Tu..."

"Did Ms. Van Duong misunderstand you?"

Bui Nghien Tu's throat moved slightly.

"So Van Duong."

"Don't force me to look for you."

I opened the door. The sensor light in the hallway immediately lit up. At that moment... He suddenly grabbed my wrist tightly. The hand just fits right on the wound. The white bandage immediately became red. His hand trembled slightly. I looked down at the hand holding me tightly. The voice was calm and cold.

"Let go."

Bui Nghien Tu did not let go. That was the first time in seven years... He was really scared when he saw me turn around and leave. It's just a pity... That panic was quickly overwhelmed by anger.

"Is it because of Ta Hanh Xuyen?"

He asked through gritted teeth.

"I went with him tonight. He took me to the hospital and then brought me back. Since when have you two been so close?"

Wen Chieu Tuyet immediately covered her mouth.

"Miss Van Duong, I didn't mean to see it. It's just that when lawyer Ta was waiting for you downstairs, I was a bit worried."

Tong Lan Anh immediately pointed straight at me and scolded me.

"No wonder I kept asking to move out. Turns out there was someone else outside!"

Bui Kien An slammed on the table.

"The Bui family's dignity has been ruined by you."

I looked at Bui Nghien Tu.

"You think so too?"

His eyes were bloodshot.

"What do you think I should think?"

I laughed.

"Wen Zhaoxue wears my nightgown."

"Wear it my pearl necklace."

"In my room."

"You told me not to misunderstand."

"And Ta Hanh Xuyen only took me to the hospital..."

"In your eyes, I am no longer clean."

Bui Nghien Tu's face immediately turned pale.

"I never said you weren't clean."

"But you already said it."

His silence. His doubts. And time and time again, he favored Wen Zhaoxue. They all spoke for him. At that moment, the sound of the elevator was heard in the hallway. Ta Hanh Xuyen stood at the door. In his hand he holds a file of documents.

"The file you left in the car."

As soon as he saw him, anger immediately flared up in Bui Nghien Tu's eyes. He let go of my hand. A few steps forward, he grabbed Ta Hanh Xuyen's collar.

"Stay away from her."

Ta Hanh Xuyen did not fight back. He just calmly said:

"The one who's messing with her now is you."

Bui Nghien Tu's fist immediately swung up. I stepped forward to block between the two of them. His fist stopped in mid-air. When his eyes fell on my face... The anger in his eyes seemed to crumble in the blink of an eye.

"You protect him?"

I calmly replied:

"I defend the law."

Ta Hanh Xuyen gave me the documents. Bui Nghien Tu immediately grabbed it. The papers fell to the ground. Right on the first page are the words: Application for confirmation of ownership of shares. Bui Nghien Tu's pupils constricted violently.

"Are you investigating the company?"
