CHAPTER 13: Ambiguous relationship

At lunchtime at the company, Hoang Minh Quan did not eat, only drank coffee. Because his work was still piled up, he could not leave it unfinished. That was his personality, he would do everything until the end. He did not delay until the next day.

Phan Kiet finished his lunch and saw that he was still working, so he walked over and asked: "Boss Hoang, the company has a special steak for lunch today, do you want some?".

He was so focused that he did not hear what the other person said, Phan Kiet got to eat a sour avocado. He smiled awkwardly and was about to leave. At the same time, he discovered that he had arrived, raised his head and asked: "What's the matter?".

It turned out that boss Hoang was so engrossed in his work that he did not hear him talking: "Are you going to have lunch? I have already ordered a special portion just for you."

It had been a long time since he had eaten at the company, today he was in a good mood so he did something to relax himself. He nodded, arranged the documents, then stood up and sat in the wheelchair with him and went down to the dining room.

Phan Kiet was surprised that today, the cold and difficult boss Hoang, who no one could compete with, suddenly became easy-going and agreed to the proposal of his secretary.

He looked very good today, it seemed like he had encountered something happy.

Phan Kiet felt like he had seen a god descending to earth to give blessings to all living beings. Seeing that, he unintentionally started a conversation: "It seems like you two have reconciled, huh? You're husband and wife, you don't have to be angry with each other for life."

Minh Quan immediately darkened his face and said coldly: "What did you say?".

Hic! Was I wrong? Was I wrong? Aren't you and the young lady getting along?! Then why are you glaring at me with that murderous gaze?!

Just like that, Phan Kiet was lucky and didn't say a word until they got to the dining room.

"...".

Recently, his sleep has improved a lot, thanks to Trinh Anh Tu sleeping with him every night. That's why he feels more energetic, and when others look at him, they feel relieved because the boss is no longer gloomy like before.

At first, he was a bit guarded and embarrassed because he had to share a bed with the guy he liked. But after a few days, he got used to having another person sleeping next to him.

The only thing that's a pity is... Anh Tu dressed modestly. It seems that after the first time sleeping together, he was afraid that boss Hoang would find fault with him again, so he corrected his mistake.

In the dining room, there were only two or three people, Minh Quan and Phan Kiet sat in a corner. The secretary became talkative again: "Boss Hoang, I wish you were in a good mood like this every day so that our employees could breathe easier. Thanks to that, being with you today is very comfortable."

"Am I like that in everyone's eyes?" He said neither cold nor hot.

But Phan Kiet understood the intention in his words that he and the staff all saw him as a devil and were so scared that they didn't want to see him.

Hearing that he was angry, he immediately closed his mouth like a green worm in danger and curled up.

Hoang Minh Quan: "...".

He understood, no one would dare to approach an eccentric like him. In their eyes, he was like a scary king of hell, and if he made a mistake, he would be punished immediately. So no one dared to speak up or confront him.

He sighed silently, not wanting to say much during the meal.

Phan Kiet looked up at the sky and the ground, avoiding looking at him. Suddenly, someone hugged him from behind: "Honey, haven't you finished eating yet?".

It was a petite girl, wearing cute round glasses. Phan Kiet was startled: "Vy, don't suddenly scare me like that."

The little girl didn't see that boss Hoang was here and was acting spoiled with her lover: "Humph, still acting like a show-off. I remember you're usually very good, you scare me a lot? I just hugged you a little...".

Her eyes accidentally passed by and saw Hoang Minh Quan, and she was immediately startled: "Boss, boss Hoang?!".

Seeing him as if she saw a ghost, Vy quickly hid behind Phan Kiet: "Hello, hello boss, yes, it seems like I've disturbed you while you're eating? Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I'll take my leave now".

After saying that, she immediately ran away like a rabbit.

Hoang Minh Quan and Phan Kiet: "...".

He asked: "Your lover?".

Phan Kiet scratched his head and replied: "Yes".

He just nodded and said nothing more. Phan Kiet smiled and asked: "Boss Hoang, that's love. When falling in love, no matter what kind of personality that person has, I still love that person very much. Like that girl just now, moody and childish. But in my eyes, she's extremely cute."

Proudly showing off his lover, he clearly saw the halo in his eyes.

Love? Suddenly, the handsome smile on Anh Tu's handsome face appeared in his mind. In an instant, he blushed.

Not knowing what true love was, but whatever he liked, he devoted all his sincerity to it.

Because the thing called love never existed for him.

He had long buried the deep wound that love left deep in his heart. His heart had once beat erratically because of love, once trembled because of love, and once shattered into pieces because of love.

So let it flow naturally for now. He doesn't love anyone, nor does he want to love anyone.

He just likes Anh Tu a little... Right from the first time they met.

Phan Kiet was immersed in his rosy love and rambled on: "Being alone always feels lonely, but when love comes in, life becomes brighter. You probably know that, right, boss Hoang?".

He lowered his voice, shamelessly saying: "When two people merge into each other's bodies and hearts, it's very happy. Have you ever... Ugh".

He immediately shut his mouth, blurting out. Hoang Minh Quan was glaring at him. If he continued to say such shameless nonsense, he might be beaten to death.

He already knew that boss Hoang was faking his disability, his healthy body could freely use his abundant strength to flirt with girls. He also knew that his wife Truong Phi Yen also knew his secret.

So he had thought that they were a couple who did not hide anything, so they had more or less become one.

Looking at his thunderous and stormy expression, he had already guessed a part of it.

Of course, the cold boss Hoang was not interested in women and never touched women. Even if it was his wife.

Wondering... I wonder if he had some unspeakable disease that he never went to places where he "showed off his flowers and silk" outside of work. If he did not touch his wife, he would more or less have to seek pleasure from the outside.

Sometimes I wonder if my boss Hoang had that tendency or not...

But with his temperament, would any man be able to stand it and dare to love him if he had that tendency?

After lunch break ended, Hoang Minh Quan started working like a hard-working bee. Even though he was the boss, he had never seen him rest.

Because his goal was to take back the Hoang Family and everything that belonged to him.

He had to be even more powerful, to be the leader of the business world, to be able to fight against Kieu Chi Chau.

He worked continuously until late afternoon. He took off his glasses and soothed his aching eyes from looking at the computer screen for too long.

He worked overtime today because a few of his partners suddenly turned around and invested in the Hoang Group headed by Kieu Chi Chau. She had used endless tricks to lure his allies into joining her for two years now.

It was very difficult for him to maintain his relationship on his own terms in this stormy business world. He couldn't let the witch get her wish.

There was going to be a social gathering of big and small group leaders from all over the country. He was invited to attend. It was said that Kieu Chi Chau was invited as one of the special guests of the party.

Who knew what she would do to him at that party. Don't let her play dirty tricks on you.

Leaning back on the chair, Minh Quan closed his eyes to calm down and rest. Suddenly remembering someone, that smile made his ears turn red.

I wonder what Anh Tu is doing now? He immediately texted him to tell him that he was late again today.

Hoang Minh Quan: "...".

In the conversation in the text messages between him and him, it seemed like he was the one who took the initiative to text first. He only saw him reply with the word "Yes". Most of the time, he informed him of his return time, he had never seen him text him.

He was waiting for him to ask some questions about work, or if he didn't understand something at work, he would ask him. But he had been waiting for that for almost a month now, and he hadn't seen him ask anything. Even if he did something wrong, he would just bow his head and apologize, asking for forgiveness.

Instead, he looked for Truong Phi Yen to answer, not him, who was his boss.

His face turned worse every time he thought about Phi Yen and Anh Tu being together. Feeling frustrated as he remembered the sincere smile he gave her.

The corners of his lips twitched, realizing he had ruined his mood again, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Pressing the bridge of his nose helped relieve the tension.

He smiled faintly as he looked at the wallpaper of the puppy De Lo on his phone. Gently touching the phone screen as if petting it in real life.

Although he was very afraid of dogs, he still loved cute dogs like De Lo. So he secretly took a picture of the dog when no one was around, especially Anh Tu.

When he went to take the picture, he was a bit afraid that it would suddenly rush at him, so he chose to zoom in from afar. The photo was quite clear. I could clearly see its cute appearance.

"What kind of dog is this, stupid like its owner?" He suddenly felt amused when he chased Trinh Anh Tu like the dog De Lo.

But it was true, both were stupid and innocent. And he was also an honest and gullible country boy.

Curious about what he was doing now, probably lazily lying in the living room watching a movie. Minh Quan turned on the camera to check the situation of the house.

It was almost 6 pm so the maid quickly finished her work and prepared to go home. He opened each area and room to look for Anh Tu's figure.

Not seeing it, where was it?

There was still a room that he hadn't seen, he had never seen the camera of that room before.

It was Truong Phi Yen's bedroom.

Blue veins suddenly appeared on his neck, his face became ashen like the gloomy rain. His eyes stared at the two people as if they wanted to pierce through the phone screen.

What were a man and a woman doing in the bedroom?!

He turned off the phone and slammed it down on the table. The phone's tempered glass cracked several times, and tiny pieces of broken glass fell to the ground, sparkling.

..

A drop of sweat rolled down Trinh Anh Tu's cheek, he let out a few breaths of relief...

Concentrating on curling Truong Phi Yen's hair, his hand holding the fake curling iron kept shaking. Phi Yenl realized and smiled, "Don't be afraid, the temperature is stable and just right, so you can confidently curl your hair without burning it."

He tried to concentrate carefully: "I, I'm afraid it will look bad."

The last strand was done, Phi Yen applied conditioner to her hair, saying: "Okay, now toss my hair up and see".

"Toss hair?.. How?".

She winked, then instructed. The hair dyed dark brown was tossed up, the seductive scent of women's shampoo and the fragrance of hair conditioner filled the air.

Anh Tu inhaled it, not unpleasantly, but it made his heart beat wildly like a drum beating out of rhythm.

Her cheeks were slightly red as she looked at the beautiful girl in the mirror. The fluffy hair further enhanced the elegant beauty of a lady.

What a beautiful person, like a fairy. Anh Tu secretly exclaimed.

Seeing him staring at her, she secretly felt pleased in her heart. It seemed like the fish had taken the bait, a small fish was very good as bait to catch a big fish.

Touching his cheek, teasing: "What's wrong? Do I look that ugly?".

Anh Tu jumped slightly and dodged, shaking his head: "No, you're so beautiful! The boss will definitely fall for your beauty".

She smiled: "Because your skills are good, I'm beautiful".

Standing up, she approached him: "Then...".

Stepping back in confusion, he fell onto the bed. Truong Phi Yen propped herself up on the mattress, leaning on him. Her eyes glistening with tears became sparkling and captivating, Anh Tu was drawn into the atmosphere between the two.

She caressed his infatuated face, leaned down and whispered in his ear: "From now on, everything depends on you".

Grabbing her slender hand, turning the situation around and pressing her under his body. He smiled in a love-sick dream: "I will help you win the boss's heart".

Kissing her hand, he rubbed his cheek in the warm palm. His world now focused on the girl named Truong Phi Yen.

He didn't care if his feelings for his boss were wrong or not. But as long as she made him happy, extremely comfortable when being with her, no matter how wrong it was, he would still accept it.

For almost a month, the beat in this poor heart seemed to only vibrate every time he saw Phi Yen. Knowing that he had done something terrible, he wasn't afraid of being beaten to death by boss Hoang, but his reason was defeated by his heart that knew how to love.

How stupid. Truong Phi Yen smiled faintly.

The heart of the country boy was so pure, just a little sweet enticement and yet he was ready to turn into a rotten chess piece for others to play with.

Behind the beautiful appearance of his virtuous wife was a crazy woman full of scheming and blind love. His heart was excited to see Hoang Minh Quan's expression and actions when he saw him and Anh Tu on the bed like this right now.

What will happen..? Angry? Crazy? Or still turn a blind eye?
