Entering the rainy season, early in the morning, we could see the scene of the rain covering the whole city. Anyone who was not wearing a raincoat on the street was truly at a disadvantage. No one wanted to be unlucky enough to get caught in the rain on their way to work early in the morning.
No matter how large and splendid the mansion was, when it was covered in rain, it was only a dull gray color.
The heat gently hovered over the cup of herbal tea, Kieu Chi Chau elegantly sipped her tea. Putting the cup down on the table, she looked out the window at the rain. No one knew what she was plotting again.
"Madam, how should we deal with the person who has been frequenting the young master's residence these past few days?".
Moving her eyes to the photos on the table, she smiled faintly. Picking up the photo that the detective had secretly taken of Trinh Anh Tu, she pondered. After a while, she spoke: "Let's not deal with it yet, investigate his background to see what kind of relationship he has with Quan."
"Yes." The subordinate replied and received the order to leave.
A week ago, she sent her people to Hoang Minh Quan's house under the guise of being from the disabled care center. When she came to investigate the situation, she saw her people beaten to a pulp like dead fish.
As the old saying goes: "If you don't like it, you can just say something to your mother, why did you beat someone up like this? Do you have any humanity?".
Hoang Minh Quan told the confused servants to leave early, leaving only him, Kieu Chi Chau and her three African guards in the house. He was angry: "I don't need it! Who asked you to come?!".
Stopping her fake face, the witch Kieu Chi Chau appeared. She gave him a painful slap: "Watch your words, I only want the best for you and your husband, so I sent people to take care of you. And yet an unreasonable person like you dares to hit someone."
He hated that he couldn't stand up to retaliate against her, suppressing the anger that was making his legs want to stand up in protest. He laughed coldly: "Want the best for me? Take care of me? Ha, stop talking like you're a savior angel. You disgusting hypocrite."
Kieu Chi Chau didn't say a word and kicked him down into the wheelchair. Angry, he ordered someone to grab him and teach him a lesson.
Back to the present, the rain was still pouring, the evil in Kieu Chi Chau's evil nature was increasing.
"Let me see if after this time, there will be anyone who dares to stay by your side, a cursed thing like you."
Kieu Chi Chau was the one who put the curse on him, forever drowning in loneliness until death. His companion was only endless darkness, not a single ray of light appeared to save him.
..
In the evening, the sunset behind the gray clouds slightly lit up, but was finally extinguished by the rain.
Trinh Anh Tu helped the maids cook for boss Hoang: "It's almost 6 o'clock, you guys finish work first, I can do the rest."
The ladies also felt guilty for treating this gallant boy like him as a shield. Being so gentle and sociable, being next to such a cold boss must have been a big loss.
"Okay, let us do it, you go to the gate to welcome the boss, he's almost home."
The ladies understood each other and immediately took over all the housework. Anh Tu saw that there was no more work for him in the house, so he obediently went to the gate to wait for Hoang Minh Quan.
The dog De Lo that he brought with him when he moved to boss Hoang's house was always by his side. Whatever he did, it stayed by his side, very obedient and not causing trouble during his working hours. Now it was sitting next to him, seriously waiting for its boss.
In front of the porch looking out the gate, Trinh Anh Tu petted De Lo. This dog was both smart and adorable, but boss Hoang didn't like it. What a snobbish and unpleasant guy, I don't know what else caught his eye.
This morning, he had arrived before six o'clock when boss Hoang woke up. But he didn't expect that he had woken up before that, still concentrating on his work. He was so surprised that he couldn't believe it. There were only three hours left until work time, yet he was still awake and working diligently.
"Boss, I'm here."
Hoang Minh Quan heard Anh Tu knocking on the door, he immediately sat in the wheelchair: "Come in."
Opening the door and entering, suddenly there was the sound of a dog barking happily. A golden-haired mongoose jumped out from between his legs and rushed towards him.
Hoang Minh Quan's face darkened, he couldn't dodge and jumped out of the wheelchair and fell to the ground.
Trinh Anh Tu was startled, his face pale, he immediately helped him back to the wheelchair: "Are you okay?".
"Woof!".
The dog De Lo jumped to his feet. Hoang Minh Quan could not show his fear, he stuck his anger on his face and pushed Anh Tu away: "Hurry up and get him out!".
He hurriedly took De Lo out and then went back into the room and closed the door. As soon as he raised his face, he met Hoang Minh Quan's murderous eyes.
"Boss Hoang, I'm sorry!".
"Who allowed you to bring an animal to work?!". The voice emitted a low tone as if throwing sharp ice at someone.
Anh Tu explained: "You asked me to come here to live, of course I can't leave De Lo behind. Who will take care of it if I leave? That's why I brought it with me, if you're allergic, I'll try to keep it. Don't let it get close to you".
Hoang Minh Quan: "Do you think you can work and take care of a dog at the same time? Stop that crazy idea. I don't care how you do it, absolutely don't let me see it again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel".
Huh, that cold-blooded guy doesn't even know how to love animals. Don't even think about loving anyone in your life! Oh, I forgot, you're married. I pray that your wife will leave you soon! Humph! Humph!
He kept cursing until his stomach was full, not knowing that boss Hoang was originally very afraid of dogs.
On the surface, he looked pitiful and begged: "Boss, please let me keep the baby. Without me to take care of it, it can't live. Please."
In the eyes of others, he was a heartless man, but he wasn't so heartless that he would abandon a dog far from its owner and starve to death.
But he was afraid of dogs, hesitating between his heart and reason. His appearance at this moment looked extremely scary, causing cold sweat on Anh Tu's forehead to continuously flow down in tension.
He held his forehead and said: "Alright". He looked up with sharp eyes: "Remember to keep it carefully, don't let it get close to me".
De Lo was originally very obedient, he listened to everything he was taught. However, when he saw someone, he was lively and happily wagged his tail at that person. He just wanted to be close to Boss Hoang, he didn't mean to bite anyone.
The maid finished her shift, now only he and De Lo were left. It was almost time for the boss to return, standing like this made his legs a bit tired. Was about to go inside the house when the phone rang, a text message came in.
Not knowing who it was: "Huh..?".
"?!". Surprised because it was Hoang Minh Quan: "How did he know my phone number?".
Boss Hoang texted: Working overtime today, coming home at 10 o'clock.
Very healthy, feeling comfortable. Trinh Anh Tu happily went back to the living room to watch a movie. The boss came home late like this, I pray that he comes home late every day.
He was alone, freely treating the boss's house as his own. It felt like he was the boss of this house right now.
Lying on the sofa shaking his legs, he suddenly heard a beeping sound coming from the small speaker on the announcement machine in the living room. He immediately sat up.
Five minutes ago, boss Hoang said he wouldn't be home until ten o'clock, so who's home now?
Remembered that there was still one person in the house, the young mistress. Should go say hello, otherwise he would be mistaken for a thief.
Truong Phi Yen looked at Trinh Anh Tu in surprise: "Why are you here?".
He smiled and replied: "I was hired to be the caretaker for boss Hoang".
She thought that the person taking care of Hoang Minh Quan was a woman, and she also heard that he allowed the person taking care of her to move here. She intended to come back early today to make things difficult for him and then chase him away.
But she didn't expect that person to be the hero who had saved her from a group of thugs. He was a man who was both handsome and brave.
Phi Yen dismissed the misunderstanding in her heart, she smiled: "So that's it".
Suddenly she walked closer to him, the distance was vaguely close: "Is this fate?".
The sweet scent of perfume spread, making his emotions become chaotic. Trinh Anh Tu blushed and smiled awkwardly: "Haha, I think it's a coincidence".
She patted his shoulder: "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore, try to work hard".
Then she noticed there was a dog in the house, seeing De Lo cute, she immediately petted and patted its head: "Is this one yours? What's its name?".
"It's De Lo, it's very friendly, it doesn't bark at strangers. It likes to make friends, it seems like it really likes you".
Phi Yen laughed: "What a funny dog, how can it protect its owner?".
"It looks like that, but when it meets someone suspicious, it won't let go".
"Oh, so this is a smart dog". She stood up: "Ah, I still don't know your name, what's your name?".
He replied: "I'm Anh Tu, you can call me Tu".
"Your name is really beautiful, Anh Tu means both beautiful and smart."
Scratching his head, he said: "Beautiful? Hmm, I don't think I am. Ha ha."
"I'll change the word beautiful to handsome, what do you think?".
Being praised by a girl for being handsome made Anh Tu even more confused.
She asked: "Tu, have you cooked yet?".
Talking comfortably with Truong Phi Yen, he forgot his identity. She was the boss, and he was the nanny.
"Yes, the food is ready, just need to reheat it and it's ready to eat. Boss, do you want to eat now?".
She shook her head: "Don't use honorifics to talk to me anymore, you can just call me Yen."
He was embarrassed: "How can that be? I can't."
The naive country boy teased her: "You're really stupid, I'll allow you to call me by my name. Don't be so polite."
"If the boss hears, I'll die...".
Hearing the name Hoang Minh Quan, Phi Yen lowered her eyes and interrupted gloomily: "Leave him alone, I'll allow it. Does he dare to argue?".
He was startled when he saw the murderous aura on Truong Phi Yen's beautiful face that always smiled charmingly. He didn't expect her to have this trait, and it was towards Hoang Minh Quan.
It seemed that this couple had argued to the point of hating each other like enemies.
He was wondering if from now on he would be the middle person enduring the rage of these two people.
She left, he watched her leave thoughtfully, then shook his head and sighed. The conflict between husband and wife, how could the mobile iceberg Hoang Minh Quan know how to coax people. He was lucky that he didn't scare people to death with that sharp gaze.
How dare he ask anything from him. The mistress was really pitiful, having mistakenly married a cold and eccentric man.
If he were Truong Phi Yen, he would have run away from Boss Huang by half a world. Being his wife was both stressful and tiring. He also had a disease of anger, sooner or later he would have a heart attack and died.
..
No matter what clothes she was wearing, or even after removing her makeup, Boss Huang always looked radiantly beautiful.
He suddenly felt really jealous of Hoang Minh Quan, having such a beautiful and gentle wife was a blessing for three lifetimes. Yet he didn't know how to cherish it.
Anh Tu secretly glanced at Phi Yen who was embroidering, the skillfulness of her slender hands had created a vivid and lively masterpiece on the fabric.
More than two hours passed, the sunflower field was gradually completed. A man dressed in white stood in the middle of a field of flowers that shone like sunflowers, raising his head towards the sun.
This person... He saw that it was Hoang Minh Quan. So beautiful...
He was so absorbed in looking at the fabric painting that he didn't hear her talking.
"Tu". She shook his shoulder.
Anh Tu was startled and came back to his senses: "What, what's wrong?".
Phi Yen looked at the clock and said: "It's almost ten o'clock, it's almost time for Quan to come home. Let's serve dinner".
So immersed in the warm and comfortable atmosphere that Trinh Anh Tu almost forgot that boss Hoang was on his way home.
He quickly stood up: "Let me go to the gate to welcome the boss, I'll take care of everything else. You just sit and relax".
He went to open the gate, Hoang Minh Quan was being pushed in by Phan Kiet in a wheelchair, then he bowed his head and left. Anh Tu closed the gate and brought him into the house.
Seeing Truong Phi Yen's high heels, he frowned in annoyance. But not saying anything, this made Anh Tu even more uneasy.
He didn't know if Hoang Minh Quan was happy or sad today, if he was upset about something, but his cold face became even more gloomy.
Entering the elevator, he pressed the wrong button. The door kept closing and opening, he quickly pressed the button, then the door closed and moved up.
He glanced at him, not seeing him looking over, then he breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately started a conversation to ease the atmosphere: "Boss, are you tired from work today?".
He didn't receive an answer but received a deadly look glaring at him. Knowing that this mouth opening was useless, he immediately shut his mouth and focused on his work.
"...".
Standing in front of the bathroom door waiting for him, yawning. Lately, not being at home and not being able to drink lotus tea, he always felt like his body was lacking something. Especially about sleep, he hadn't slept much since the day Tran Hoai An went missing.
Now it was a bit difficult to fall asleep.
Minh Quan rolled himself out of the wheelchair. Anh Tu was startled awake, standing straight and serious.
"Dry your hair".
"Yes". He took him into the bedroom, in front of the mirror to dry his hair.
"Hot!". Suddenly he angrily threw the hair dryer out of his hand: "Where are you thinking while you're working?!".
Actually, he didn't know how to dry his hair. He had never touched a hair dryer before, so how would he know!
"I'm sorry!". Damn it! Why didn't you go dry your hair yourself?!
He glared at him and then angrily instructed: "Turn on the black switch, then press the number two button".
Followed, because he wanted to be more careful, he tried to dry his own hand first. Only when the temperature was stable did he dare to dry this boss with a murderous temper.
Hair dry, Trinh Anh Tu looked at him without blinking.
Normally, Minh Quan would stroke his hair up, his face always looked so serious that anyone who looked at him would have to bow their heads in awe. But now, when his hair fell down over his forehead, the cold man now became approachable.
Anh Tu looked at him attentively, boss Hoang was no longer scary, now he looked like his younger brother.
Minh Quan was looked at until he felt embarrassed, snatched the comb from his hand and combed it up. His face showed anger, he slapped his shoulder: "What else are you doing?! Go eat!".
After being beaten awake, he hurriedly took him to the dining room.
The food had been served by Phi Yen, just as she was carrying the pot of rice, he stepped in to help. She shook her head and told him to sit down and eat together, serving the meal was also something a wife like her had to do.
Sitting at the head of the table was always Hoang Minh Quan, with Anh Tu and Phi Yen on either side. He felt extremely uncomfortable having to sit down and eat with his wife. It felt like there was a third person intruding on his dining table.
The two people sitting across from each other could clearly feel the fire coming from the host at the head of the table.
Phi Yen smiled at Anh Tu, telling him to just eat naturally and not to worry about him.
Luckily, she was at the dining table today, otherwise he wouldn't have had the courage to finish the meal. He nodded and smiled, silently thanking her.
In Minh Quan's eyes, these two people clearly had problems with each other. Seeing Trinh Anh Tu smiling sincerely at Truong Phi Yen, something in his heart suddenly felt pulled down, disappointment came.
Slamming his chopsticks on the table interrupted the warm atmosphere between the two of them. He glared at his wife and then glared at Anh Tu: "No more eating, take me back to the office."
He quickly swallowed the food, stood up and walked over to push the wheelchair for him. He secretly lamented his fate, the heavens had avoided the meal.
Looking at the two people disappearing behind the elevator door, Truong Phi Yen was pensive. Suddenly, he smirked as if he was planning some unexpected plan.
