Chapter 6 — The One Who Gets His Wish

That day, Van Tu Chi and I had just finished taking wedding photos. Immediately I saw Ha Hien Nhien standing in front of me, her whole body slumped.
“Ngu Phon, I finally found you…”
Luc Van Tu Chi held my hand tighter. I gave him a reassuring smile. Ha Hien Nhien's eyes stared at our intertwined hands.
"Who is he? Why are you with him!"
I shook my hand gently.
"We just finished taking wedding photos and will have the wedding a month later."
His pupils suddenly constricted, his eyes condensed with unbelievable surprise.
"Organizing a wedding... no, the person I want to marry is you. Even if I'm angry, I can't use this to punish you!"
I told Van Tu Chi:
“You go to the car first, I'll handle it okay.”
He nodded, glanced at Ha Hien Nhien and then walked towards the parking lot. I walked into a coffee shop next door. He followed in.
"I think I've made it very clear. You and I don't want to have anything to do with anything anymore."
Ha Hien Nhien suddenly grabbed my hand, her voice trembling.
“Sorry, sorry Ngu Phon, about the group chat, I didn't stop them, it was my fault…”
His words were broken.
"About Tham Vi, I admit that I didn't keep my boundaries for a while, but I really didn't do anything that crossed the line anymore. That night we were locked in the same room together, nothing happened to us... I believe you!"
I forcefully pulled my hand out.
"It's not important anymore, Ha Hien Nhien. I didn't ask before, because I volunteered. Now I don't want it anymore, I just want to break up with you. Let's break up peacefully."
“You can't treat me like that!”
His eyes were bloodshot and his volume increased, causing the people next to him to look back.
“We have been through so much together, we said we would get married, you can't do that…”
I suddenly burst out laughing.
"Everyone in the class was very supportive of the two of us, and I happily enjoyed it. Tham Vi said one word and I immediately canceled the marriage plan. The scarf I gave you, I gave it directly to her. That night I had a fever. Admit it, Ha Hien Nhien, I still can't let her go. These past few years, it was because of your willingness to volunteer, I also accepted it. Just like that."
His finger flexed and then released.
"It's not that I can't let her go! The person I love is you, I just didn't know what I was thinking at the time, but now I regret it, I don't want to break up with you... sorry, I was bad that night, I didn't know you had a fever... I will fix it, you can't punish me like that, I'm not satisfied!"
I directly called the waiter to pay.
"This isn't a business negotiation, there's no need to back and forth. I won't cooperate, of course you have another way, it's just a partnership for a while, there's no need to make it so unsightly, am I right?"
Perhaps the coldness in my eyes hurt him, but he shed tears.
"I don't want to lose you, Ngu Phon... I said I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you..."

His words were broken, each word seemed to carry unbearable pain. I immediately lost patience.
“We're both adults, I hope both sides can save a little face.”
Ha Hien Nhien's breath stopped, the bottom of his eyes wavered and crumbled, revealing a pale silence.
“It's because of that person Star? Because of him, are you so determined to break up with me?”
Thinking of Van Tu Chi, my eyes were filled with laughter.
“Do you remember what you said at the class president's wedding?”
He was stunned, obviously not knowing what I was talking about.
"He said, the feeling after French kissing with Tham Vi was that his long-standing wish had finally come true."
His expression changed drastically, he shook his head slightly, but couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
“That day, the one who got his wish was not the only one.”
I keep saying:
“He and I grew up together since childhood. During these years, he gave up his family business, started his own business, stood on the opposite side of his parents, just to wait for me to turn around once. It was you who gave him the chance.”
It was as if all of Ha Hien Nhien's spirit had been drained away, leaving only a heavy, stagnant corpse. I am not moved at all.
“The feeling of waiting for someone to turn their head to look at you, you probably know very well. During those college years, not only did I endure the pain of secret love, you did too."
After saying this, I bluntly left. A moment later, a heart-wrenching cry came from behind:
“I know! Phon language! Sorry, why didn't you tell me sooner... why..."
I sat in the passenger seat, the car was my favorite temperature.
“Is it resolved?”
"YES. Soon I will have money to support you.”
Later, Ha Hien Nhien cooperated very well in completing the transfer of shares. Moreover, they bought it back at a higher price than the market. I know, telling him that I used to secretly love him in college is like a sharp sword, making him no longer have the face to mess with me. The days just passed like that. Unexpectedly, Tham Vi came to find me.
"A Hien's condition is not very good. I heard that there was an order in Cang Thanh that he has always followed. Now he can't win it, the company is having problems with capital turnover."
