Chapter 15 — Weddings Without Brides

“And every time I chose to sacrifice you, because I was convinced that you would never leave.”

The corners of his eyes were red, he reached out to touch the ring.

“I really think it's just for you to suffer a temporary disadvantage.”

“Temporarily become a bride whose name is erased?”

“I will make it up to you later.”

“I don't need it anymore.” My voice was flat and flat.

But Luc Tram Chu seemed to be defeated by that sentence, his shoulders slumped.

"Kieu Kieu, don't be like that. You can scold me or hit me. Please don't talk to me in that tone."

"In the notice of annulment, it is clearly stated how the two parties' belongings will be divided, the joint tenancy contract, and the settlement of expenses. I will bear the loss of 68,000 yuan as in the contract. As for the expenses arising from your arbitrarily changing things, you can take care of it yourself. Before tonight, please remove all your belongings from my parents' house."

“I won't cancel the engagement!”

“You can not sign the receipt. The notice has been sent to you.”

He crumpled the marriage annulment notice, the page trembling in his hand.

“Five years, can you really bear it?”

I looked at him. 5 years, of course I can't bear it. I couldn't bear to spend 10 nights on duty in the hallway of my father's hospital, I couldn't bear the first time he gave me a scarf, I couldn't bear every dinner we had together in the old boarding house. But those "unbearable things" cannot be used as collateral for today's Luc Tram Chu.

“The person I can't bear is the person I thought was you.”

“As for who you are now, it's not worth it.”

To Tinh suddenly rushed forward:

"What if you leave? At least three hundred people have seen me as a bride. Even if you delete the link, you won't be able to erase the photo in their memories."

There were no more tears in her eyes, only extreme unwillingness remained.

"I originally had no intention of registering my marriage with Tram Chu. I just need the Luc family's relatives to acknowledge that the first person to marry him is me! Even if you become Mrs. Luc in the future, people will only remember me when talking about the wedding!"

Luc Tram Chu turned around to look at her.

“From the beginning, you wanted to force Kieu Kieu to break up the engagement?”

“So what?” To Tinh burst out laughing. “Are you going to make me wear her wedding dress and then smile and wish the two of you a hundred years of happiness?”

Luc Tram Chu raised his hand, but stopped in midair. I no longer have any interest in watching them repay their old debt of gratitude. When I walked to the door, he rushed from behind and chased me, his knees hitting the chair hard and not stopping.

“Kieu Kieu, I'll take you home.”

“No need.”

“Where are you going?”

I grabbed the door handle.

“Go live a life without me.”

The door slammed shut in his face. Behind him, the sounds of arguing, crying, and even uncontrolled cursing from Luc's mother could be heard. It was the grand opening song for their wedding. It has nothing to do with me anymore. Chapter 11 The first week after the annulment, Luc Tram Chu came and waited downstairs at my company every day. He changed the bouquet of champagne pink roses that To Tinh chose to the white lilies that I planned to use for the wedding, saying that we could start over. The first time, I asked the receptionist to tell him not to come again. The second time, I returned the bouquet intact. The third time, he stood there until late at night, so I had to report it to building security harassment list. Then he started writing letters by hand. The letter recorded the little pieces of our 5 years of love: the 10 nights I spent guarding the hospital for my father, our first trip, and the afternoon we went together to choose wedding rings. He said every day he opened the electronic wedding invitation, and every time he saw the words "The event has been canceled", he realized what he had lost. I didn't respond. All wedding expenses are paid completely within half a month.
