Chapter 13 — The Ring Has Been Removed

"You wanted to break up because of two text messages, because you were angry, you suddenly wanted to go abroad, and now you even go on a blind date. Lam Van Kieu, what do you want me to do?" I looked at him. "I've said it many times." "There's no need to do anything." "It's okay to accept the breakup." The corners of Chu Nghien Tu's lips tightened. "I don't accept it." "That's my problem." Anger was suppressed at the bottom of her eyes. "We've been together for two years, it's not like you said it could end." "When I started, I didn't ask anyone else's opinion." "What do you mean?" "You told me your family didn't agree and forced you to have a secret relationship with you. You told your family that you didn't want to make it public. You told Hua Tri Dao, you've never had a girlfriend." I asked him clearly, word for word: "In the past two years, who exactly is Lam Van Kieu? is it real?” Passersby continuously passed us. Chu Nghien Tu fell silent. At this moment, Trinh Gia Thuat spoke up: "Miss Lam, do you need me to take you home?" Chu Nghien Tu coldly glared at him. "We're talking, it's not your turn to interfere." Trinh Gia Thuat calmly replied: "Just now she refused to get in your car. I was just asking her, not you." Chu Nghien Tu took a step forward. I stood between the two of them. "Doctor Trinh still has something to do, I'll go home myself." "Trinh Gia Thuat looked at me. After making sure I wouldn't have any trouble, he nodded." "Text me when you get home." "Okay." He didn't look at Chu Nghien Tu anymore, turned around and sat in the car. After the car drove away, Chu Nghien Tu laughed coldly: "We've only known each other for less than two hours, and you already have to tell him he's safe?" "What does it have to do with you?" "I'm your boyfriend." "Ex-boyfriend." "I haven't agreed yet." This sentence sounds familiar. Before, every time I wanted to go public, he said the time wasn't right. I was about to go abroad, he told me to wait another year. Now I proposed to break up, but he said he did not agree. As long as my decision does not suit your needs, it will never count. "Chu Nghien Tu." I looked straight into his eyes. “You don't need my approval.” His face completely darkened. “Do you think that, after Tri Dao rejected me, I no longer have the right to hold on to you?” “No.” “Then why?” “Because until now, I still think that the problem is only that she rejected me.” He frowned. “Why not?” As these words fell, the last bit of dull pain in my heart finally disappeared. "No." "The problem is that even though you had a girlfriend, you still confessed your love to her." "The problem was to keep me, I lied to you that my family was against it." "The problem is that when I said goodbye, you thought I was just angry." "I never cared about whether you were satisfied or not." "I only cared about whether things would develop according to my wishes or not." "Chu Nghien Tu stared at me, confusion appearing in his eyes for the first time. It seems that you have never thought about the fact that what I care about is not being inferior to Hua Tri Dao. He reached out and grabbed my shoulder. “I can fix it.” “I will make it public to everyone.” “Tomorrow.” “No need.” “Haven't you always wanted to go public?” His voice suddenly rose. “For the past two years, isn't what you've been most concerned about a title?” People on the side of the road turned to look at us. I didn't feel embarrassed, I just felt tired and exhausted. "I wanted it before." "I don't want it anymore." "Why?" "Because what I want is your active choice." I looked at the ring on his hand. "It wasn't when I realized you were about to leave that I brought it out to stop you." Chu Nghien Tu unconsciously turned the ring face slightly.
