Chapter 3 — Wife, I Can Be Your Substitute

3 Well, go to sleep, you won't have anything in your dreams. In the end, I sent him back to work. He walked away reluctantly, taking a step back and looking back at me. At noon, I made an appointment with Tan Dieu to go to a restaurant to eat. Tan Dieu and I were already close friends before we got married. Later, when Tan went to work, we often met up. While eating, she suddenly got excited and pulled me over, showing me her phone: "Tu Duong is about to return home! Sister-in-law, quickly see what he posted on this circle of friends." Tan Dieu scrolled through the phone screen. 【Tu Duong: I'm almost home, I want to see the person I want to see again.】 Attached is a photo of a delicate, handmade red rose. That was the gift I personally knitted for him, when we were still in love. Tan Dieu showed an indifferent look, blinking at me. She teased: "Sister-in-law, it seems that Tu Duong is still very infatuated with you." I slowly cut a piece of steak and gently took a bite. "It's just that I'm being sentimental." Tu Duong and I had a really sweet time. But because I didn't want to have sex before marriage, he found another woman, using the excuse of "relieving his needs". He also said that everyone in the world was like that, telling me not to overdo it. I smiled coldly in my heart. Does he think everyone is as dirty as him? Mr. Tan is different. During his pre-marital health check, his results were completely clean. It's just... it's true, the skills are a bit poor. I thought to myself. In this matter, it took me and him a lot of time to get along. On the other side, Tan Dieu's phone rang again. She excitedly patted my shoulder: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, quickly see my brother's friends!" I opened the phone and scrolled to refresh. Latest status line: 【Mr. Tan: The air is so fresh today.】 The attached photo is a bouquet of brilliant handmade flowers placed in the office: daisies, tulips, babies, tied with a lovely ribbon, shining under the sparkling sunlight. This is a bouquet of flowers for his senior year of college. Tan Dieu asked me to come up with an idea for a birthday gift for his brother. It's just because she's clumsy, I do most of it myself. After receiving flowers, Mr. Tan always left them on his desk in the office. I was a bit surprised. This status line is clearly secretly responding to Tu Duong. After all, they're all the same gender, everyone's family knows each other well. But I remember, back in college when I fell in love with Tu Duong, it seemed like Mr. Tan didn't know about this? Before, I also told him that I had an ex-lover, but Mr. Tan didn't pay attention and never asked her name. Over time, I almost completely forgot about Tu Dang's existence. "Dieu Dieu, have you ever told your brother about me and Tu Dang?" Tan Dieu buried his head in his steak, his cheeks bulging like a squirrel: "No, that scumbag Tu Dang is secretly in love, how could you sell me out? A true ex-lover must look like he's dead. Don't worry, sister-in-law, I absolutely won't tell your brother." I bowed my head, drowning in thought. think. It wasn't Tan Dieu who said it, so how did Mr. Tan know? Could it be that... Tu Duong contacted you? At the end of a working day, I went home, took a shower, and waited for Mr. Tan. It was almost eleven o'clock when he returned, and by that time I was so tired that my eyes closed. Waiting for him to finish showering, I yawned and snuggled into his arms. I originally thought that after losing my memory, living together would be more difficult, but in reality, he adapted quite well, even closer than before. Mr. Tan massaged my temples. I closed my eyes and lazily asked, "Do you know that Tu Duong is my ex-boyfriend?" Mr. Tan's movements suddenly stopped. He quietly said "umm". I changed to a more comfortable position, snuggling my whole body into his arms. Thinking about your daytime status, me

burst out laughing softly: "You're so grown up and yet you're still so childish. Why are you arguing with him?" Mr. Tan hugged me tighter, his voice low: "Not again next time."
