Chapter 4 — Sweet Parting Fee

8

In the end, my best friend was the one who pulled Tham Thieu out. He was drunk and his voice was slurred:

"What is your code number? How come you don't know the rules..."

But as soon as he saw his face clearly, his expression immediately turned dull.

“Huh?”

He looked at me, then looked at Tham Thieu. Muttering as if in a dream:

“Oh my god, I must have drank too much, and I saw your ex-boyfriend too, hahaha.”

Tham Thieu's face was cold, he didn't pay any attention to it, just turned to the back and instructed:

“Take her home, watch her study, and get at least 80% correct before she can sleep.”

I got up angrily:

“What right do you have to make things difficult for him?!”

But just as I was about to stand up, I realized that my waist was still being hugged tightly by the model behind me. Not having enough strength, I sat down on the chair again. The guy behind him let out a lazy cry, his tone contorted:

“Sister, I still want it, just one more time~”

Tham Thieu's face immediately darkened. A black card was thrown on the table, the voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze:

“Go away, as far away as possible.”

Instantly, the warmth behind me disappeared. Not only the back, but both left and right, the beautiful boys in sight all disappeared. So fast that it left afterimages. I was stunned. A jacket still warm was placed over my head.

“Put it on.”

The leather sofa sunk down, he sat down next to me. The cold breath overwhelmed the strong scent of perfume in the air. I tightened my shirt and slowly regained consciousness. This feeling... why does it feel like being caught cheating in battle? I moved my body out, but couldn't move. A strong hand held my waist tightly. Tham Thieu's sharp, aggressive face was right in front of his eyes.

"Where are you going in a hurry? The night is still long, I'll play with you."

His eyes glanced over the wine table, the corners of his lips curled up coldly:

"No matter what, we order so many dishes, we can't let it go to waste, right? Giang Tue."

The way he said my name, each word emphasized, no matter how stupid I was, I could hear the suppressed anger. I don't know why I feel a bit nervous. What... since we broke up, why do you care about how I play around? This is absurd. I'm not going to ask him who he's with right now!

“Come on, tell me, how do you want to play?”

My wrist was grabbed tightly, I was forced to put my hand on his stomach, touching his toned abs under his shirt.

“A moment ago, wasn't it fun to touch? Why don't you touch it now?”

A plate of fruit was brought in front of me.

"Want a piece? I'll feed it to you."

“Don't want it? So you must be full? Or should you vomit some and continue eating?”

I shrank back in fear, my voice mumbling:

"Tham Thieu, I'm a little tired, I want to go home..."

“Home?”

He seemed to hear something funny and laughed coldly.

“All the money has been thrown into this place, I don't think you need a so-called 'home' anymore."

I don't understand what he's saying. Jealous because I used the breakup money to call a guy? For a petty but possessive person like Tham Thieu, it seems a bit over the limit, he must be very angry. I smiled wryly, trying to lighten the atmosphere:

"Thanks to your generosity."

Tham Thieu couldn't believe it, pointing at himself:

“Do I look like the generous type?”

I nodded like a chicken pecking rice:

"That's generous! Very generous! The parting money was enough for me to buy an apartment!"

Brother I was silent for a moment, my expression suddenly hesitant.

"Parting money? What parting money? Why don't I remember giving that?"

Damn! Shouldn't you be asking for it back?! I frantically took out my phone, opened the transaction history, and pointed to the transfer message:

"Look! Here's the parting money!"

In the vibrant atmosphere of the club, music blaring, cigarette smoke lingering, the whole space is filled with the feeling of luxury. Except for this table. The air suddenly froze. After a long time, Tham Thieu spoke with difficulty:

“I think… this is farewell money?”

"If not, what is it? Probably not money to buy a house, right? Haha... ha..."

My dry laughter suddenly stopped when I saw his increasingly dark face.

“Have you ever thought about a possibility?”

He took a deep breath, his eyes gloomy like a dead water area.

“Is that really money for you to buy a house?”

“… Huh?”

Seeing me stunned as if petrified, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth:

“Fuck it, that's my birthday present for you!”

All the way home, Tham Thieu was so angry that he didn't say a word. I also feel resentful. Who in the world would ask such important things at such a time?! Any normal person would not understand, while two people are entwined with each other, the question "Do you want it?" is to ask permission to go further. How about “Do you like it?” Is it to evaluate performance?! I embarrassedly accepted, but was also very satisfied and nodded. Who would have thought... It turned out that at that time he actually asked me if I wanted to buy an apartment near the company as a birthday gift. Ha. How ridiculous. So what are the nights I bite the blanket and sob because of heartache? Do you think I'm good at staying up late?

"There are a total of eleven clubs in H city. I go to the same place every night, afraid of seeing you, and afraid of not being able to see you."

Oh, it seems he's also very good at staying up late.

“Because someone criticized me for being two kilograms fatter, I still have to go to the gym to lose fat during the day, and I'm tired to death.”

The tone was gloomy, full of resentment.

Is this "someone"... his white moon light?

Try like this, don't get exhausted and die. I expressionlessly pulled the blanket away from him.

"Then go to sleep quickly. I'll go home first."

After speaking, he turned around and left.

“Wait.”

He grabbed me.

"Where are you going to go in the middle of the night? You were very proactive in giving your ID card to the front desk just now?"

That was earlier, now I feel uncomfortable. I pulled my hand away.

“My friend drinks a lot, I'll go home and check it out.”

“There's no need to worry about her.”

No need to worry, right? Click video call. Oh, there's really no need. Its face was red, on either side were two scantily clad guys. The guy on the right lifted his shirt, revealing his solid abs:

"Do you want to take off my shirt? Let's finish solving this problem first."

The guy on the left had already finished taking off his clothes and held out a small whip:

"That guy is too fierce, not like me. I only love you. Feel free to put the pressure on me, learn by heart a rule and give me a whip, okay?"

... Tham Thieu turned off the call.

“Do you like this style?”

I was stunned, just as I regained composure, I accidentally said:

“Huh?”

“Let's talk soon.”

He lowered his eyes, his voice suddenly filled with self-pity:

“I can learn.”

It seems like he's waiting for me to deny it. But I was very honest and nodded.

“Like.”

Start liking it today. Tham Thieu persevered, but finally had to give in:

“Okay then, I study. Just don't get bored."

… Huh? Sounds familiar. I thought for a long time and suddenly came up with a very wild guess. No way… I can't believe it. I inquired:

"How do you know I live in City H?"

He sighed very softly, pulling me to sit on his lap.

“Idiot, you still haven't realized it until now?”

I widened my eyes in panic:

“You are S?!”

The sky is falling! It turns out we've known each other for such a long time, so... When I was working as a gaming rental service, alone, talking about all kinds of girly dreams, random family stories, and even gossip about the cats and dogs downstairs... hadn't he heard it all?!

“Otherwise how do you think I know?”

“But… but you are the young master of the Tham family!”

Based on many years of experience reading domineering CEO novels on Tomato and Bat Cau, he just needs to wave his hand and send his secretary to search, no matter what, he will find me. If I live, I will see a person, if I die, I will see a body.

“Do you think I'm a gangster?”

Tham Thieu burst out laughing, but his voice became lower.

“Jiang Tue, this world is so big, if you really want to disappear, I won't be able to find you.”

My heart felt like someone was squeezing it, throbbing a little.

“These past few days, I've been thinking about where I went wrong. Thinking during the day, thinking at night, thinking forever but not understanding..."

In this emotional moment, I should have said something sincere in response. But I didn't know why I interrupted him.

"Tham Thieu, let's talk about it tomorrow, you go to sleep first."

I'm really afraid you'll have a stroke. Tham Thieu lowered his eyes, his gaze glanced at my small dress, the surrounding temperature seemed to skyrocket.

"Sleep tomorrow, now let's get to the main thing."

The knot behind his neck was gently pulled down, and his chest suddenly loosened. I frantically wanted to cover myself, but his hand was held tightly. Tham Thieu stared at me for a long time, then slowly bent down. Where he passed, each hot flower bloomed, finally stopping on my lips. His eyes were bright like a small dog, but the more he looked, the darker they became, and his voice became hoarse.

“Do you want it?”

He moved slightly, the meaning extremely clear. But I'm afraid there will be another misunderstanding, so I should confirm again to be sure. So I used my finger to poke the hard thing.

“You said this?”

Tham Thieu was stunned for a second, then laughed, a warm stream of air swept across my ear.

“Yes, mine—”

Not finished yet. A phone call interrupted all emotions. The lust in his eyes quickly disappeared, letting me go.

"Bach Y, don't rush, I'll be back immediately."

His white clothes. His white moonlight.
