Chapter 5 — The Ex Doesn't Deserve a Return

In the coffee shop. Co Quan gently took a sip of coffee, his expression gentle.

“General Manager Co, I…”

I want to tell you that I still want to quit my job.

"Tham Thu, it's time to get off work, you can call me Co Quan."

My hand that was stirring the glass trembled slightly.

“Co... Co Quan?”

“Yes.”

The corners of Co Quan's lips curled up in satisfaction.

“It's me.”

Co Quan is a very good superior and very reasonable. He seemed to know something and comforted me:

“You don't need to blame yourself because the cooperation with Khon Lien was canceled.”

I sadly said:

"Sorry, I don't know Hua Bui..."

"Tham Thu, listen to me. The business market is like a battlefield, the situation changes unpredictably."

"You've been following me for so long, don't you know that if that business deal is really that good, how could I let it slip from my hands in vain? I've investigated Khon Lien's matter a long time ago. If Hua Bui wants to rob him, just let him rob him. Don't regret it later."

Does Co Quan mean that he intentionally did not cooperate with Kun Lien? That's true, although Hua Bui is the crown prince of the Hua Thi group. But he had just taken over the company for a few days, and his experience was definitely not as good as Co Quan's. I breathed a sigh of relief, the feeling of guilt in my heart immediately lessened a lot.

“Do you still want to quit your job now?”

Co Quan looked at me with some expectation in his eyes.

“If it's because of your ex-boyfriend's words, I find it completely unnecessary.”

"Your dignity and working ability in the company is clear to everyone. Those people who talk about you behind your back are actually being misled by Hua Bui. I will find time to explain to them..."

“No need.”

I shook my head to interrupt Co Quan.

"Hua Bui is right. I really have a craving for skin contact."

"I actually used to see Hua Bui as a medicine to help me ease my symptoms when the disease flared up."

“I thought I would never be able to leave him for the rest of my life.”

My parents drank too much at a class reunion. After getting drunk and losing control, that's me. As soon as I heard about this, both parents found out. They were forced to get married. But they don't love each other. Similarly, they also did not love their unwanted child, me. When I was little, I saw other friends' parents coming to pick them up. They will kiss their children. Or give your child a big hug. But my parents never did that to me. They just let me follow behind. It's like I'm an annoying tail that makes people hate me. They even often forget to pick me up. Then they blamed the other person and had a big argument. I still remember when I first entered elementary school, I was hospitalized for appendicitis. After my father signed the surgery consent form, he immediately left. I was pushed into the operating room alone. At that time, I hoped my parents could be by my side, kissing and hugging me. But until I left the hospital. They still don't show up. Not long after, they divorced. Only later did I know. The days I was in the hospital. They are busy dealing with their divorce. Neither father nor mother wanted to accept me. In the end, it was still my grandmother who took me to her house. She would braid my hair and carry me up the tree to pick apples. When I get first place in the exam, she will be so happy that she will pick me up. My parents quickly remarried, saying they had found their true love. But I didn't care anymore. I have Grandma treating me well is enough. But two years later, my grandmother passed away from illness. My parents had to pick me up. Let me stay at my stepfather's house for a month, then at my stepmother's house for a month. They all have children of their own. That's when I realized that my parents really didn't love me. Dad will braid his sister's hair and let her ride a horse on his back. Mom will give her brother sweet kisses and warm hugs. No matter what house I'm in, I'm like an outsider. I could only stand in the corner and peek at the warmth of their family of three. The person who always longs to be kissed and hugged by her parents is me. Until I went to high school, I asked to live in a dormitory. It was also at that time that I discovered I had a craving for skin contact. That day, Hua Bui poked my cheek. The teenager's smile was radiant, like sunlight filling every dark corner of my heart.

"Classmate, can you pull out your chair so I can get in?"

It turned out that he was my deskmate. Later, he brought me breakfast and helped me stay on duty. Do your homework with me, run eight hundred meters with me. After the university entrance exam, we entered the same school. He confessed his love to me. We are together. After knowing that I had a craving for skin contact, he was even very happy. He didn't hesitate to kiss me and hug me.

"Thu Thu, only you are my antidote."

He kissed my lips and gently pinched my face. The movements are gentle, but the tone is a bit domineering:

“So you can't find another man. Otherwise I won't need you anymore.”

“Do you know?”
