Chapter 3 — The Ex Doesn't Deserve a Return

4

Maybe because it's been so long that the month hasn't come yet. This time when my period came, I had unusual pain. Finally, I waited for Co Quan to sign all the documents. I was about to leave his office when suddenly my legs felt weak. The whole person fell forward. Just when I thought I was about to fall flat on my face in my boss's office. The pain did not come as expected. Co Quan held my waist with one hand and pulled me back.

“Thank you, General Director Co.”

He observed my face.

"Are you unwell? Did you go to the hospital for a checkup this morning and got the results?"

"I'm fine, it's just the month."

I answered honestly. Anyway, the company still has half a day of physical leave, but this morning I asked for leave. I didn't want too much work to backlog, so I went back to work. Co Quan's eyes slightly avoided me, his ears quietly turned red.

"Then you should still take a leave of absence and go home to rest. I will arrange the work."

I remember there was a shareholder meeting in the afternoon. If I choose to withdraw now, then the previous weeks of effort will be considered a waste.

“No need, General Manager Co, I can do it.”

After speaking, I returned to work to continue preparing the documents needed for the meeting. But my lower abdomen hurts more and more. I was even worried that later in the meeting, I would faint from menstrual cramps and lose face.

“For you.”

I saw an extra box of ibuprofen and two thermal patches on the table. Co Quan looked around awkwardly. Just now, my colleagues are not here.

“I looked it up online, they said when it hurts, these two things are effective for girls.”

"Thank you, General Director Co. I really need it!"

Co Quan nodded.

“It's good that you can use it.”

His ears flared suspiciously pink again. I suddenly thought of what Hua Bui said. Could Co Quan really mean something to me? But very quickly I denied it. Co Quan only cares about his subordinates. But my work during this time was also seen by him. Yes, that's definitely the case. It was finally time to get off work, and I couldn't wait to go home and rest. I just didn't expect that as soon as I went downstairs, I saw Hua Bui walking towards me.

“Tham Thu, why don't you go to the hospital?”

“Didn't I tell you, I'm not pregnant.”

He didn't seem to understand what I said. He didn't know where he got a pregnancy test from, pulled my hand and ordered:

"You said it doesn't count. Follow me."

“If you refuse to go to the hospital, then check right in front of me to see if you're pregnant or not.”

At this time, it was time to get off work, and many colleagues passing by stopped to chat. I feel annoyed by your unreasonable request. It wasn't enough that you embarrassed me at the apartment complex. Now they even come to my company. Do you want to make me lose all face to be satisfied?

"If I say it's not there, it's not there, do you mind? I'm already in my period, so how can I be pregnant?"

Hua Bui was stunned.

"You're definitely lying to me. Your period is the 25th, not the 8th."

I have a feeling of helplessness like slapping him can't wake him up.

“What? Do you want me to take off my dress so you can check?”

“Is that okay?”

Hua Bui seriously asked me.

I feel like you must be crazy.

“You are disgusting.”

“I'm disgusted?”

Hua Bui looked down, one hand holding my wrist.

“I just want to confirm whether you are pregnant or not. Follow me.”

Hua Bui pulled me away right under the office building, in front of many people around. He's like that again. It's like my dignity is just like trash on the ground to you. There is no value at all.

“Let me go!”

I used all my strength to free myself from Hua Bui's tight wrist. But my strength has no effect on you. At this moment, a low male voice rang out.

“She is not pregnant.”

Hua Bui was slightly stunned. Co Quan took advantage of the situation and pulled his hand away from me. Hua Bui's eyes flashed with hostility.

“How do you know?”

I want to tell you not to come here and embarrass yourself again. But Hua Bui's face turned black, gritted his teeth and looked at me:

“No wonder you refused to test the stick in front of me. It turns out that she already has a new love. I didn't expect to find someone so quickly. Tham Thu, it seems I underestimated you."

Seeing Hua Bui speculating about our relationship like that, Co Quan's eyes were a bit angry.

“Mr., please speak with a little respect.”

I pulled Co Quan's hand, signaling him not to conflict with Hua Bui near the company. If it's not taken into account by someone who cares, it's not good.

"General Manager Co, don't pay attention to him, let's get off work."

Co Quan nodded and walked with me towards the main door. Hua Bui couldn't stand being ignored by others, he loudly called after our backs:

“Stop.”

He walked up to Co Quan, his voice a bit sarcastic:

“Do you think she really likes you? Don't be fooled by her.”

There was no change in Co Quan's face.

“Are you done talking? Don't miss our dismissal time.”
