Chapter 4
Chapter 4 — 5 Years Love, A Joke
4Between us, in addition to being tense and grumpy, there is only coldness and sarcasm. When people suffer a lot of pain, they only need to receive a little attention and they will collapse. At that moment, I burst into tears. Pho Than hugged me, patted me on the back, and reassured me: "Okay, don't cry anymore." "I know I've been neglecting you lately, making you become so extreme." "Everything will pass. This time, I'll follow Tieu Ta back to my hometown to finish the funeral, then let's go register the marriage, okay?" My crying immediately stopped. It turns out, that sudden concern was just because he wanted me to agree to this. And I naively thought that he really realized his mistake. This time, I didn't make a fuss anymore. "Okay." Pho Than let me go, joy shining in his eyes. "That's Pho Than's good wife!" He hugged and kissed me vigorously, his hands sliding down my legs, his hot breath blowing in my ear. He turned around, pressed me down, closed his eyes and kissed me. I tilted my face: "I... it's not convenient." The man immediately turned off the fire, he scrambled to put his pants back on, turned around and left. "I'm going to take a shower, you go to sleep first." That night, I tossed and turned all the time, unable to sleep. Away from a wall, I can still hear Ta Van Nhu's voice - high-pitched, painful every time. The next morning when I woke up, there was no one left in the house. I know, Pho Than took Ta Van Nhu back to his hometown for the funeral. After packing my luggage, I left the keys and wedding ring on the tea table. As the door closed, between me and Pho Than officially ended. At exactly 1 o'clock in the afternoon, I showed up at the gate of the Civil Affairs Department. A black Maybach stopped in front. The man in a dark gray suit stepped down from the car. "Let's go, I only need ten minutes." I nodded, turned and walked inside. "Be careful!" Pho Than Chi's shout rang in my ears, and I was pulled hard into his arms. Right after that, a flower pot fell straight down, shattering right before my eyes. I was still scared, I raised my head to look at Pho Than Chi, my heart skipped a few beats. "Why are you still like when you were a child, not looking forward or backward when walking?" He let me go, then took my hand and led me into the Civil Affairs Department. It only took a few minutes for us to receive the marriage certificate. Because there was an urgent meeting, he told the driver to take me to his house first. Sitting in the car, looking at the red book in my hand, I suddenly felt panicked. "How is it? This is the person I chose for you, absolutely not wrong." Dad called to ask, his voice full of pride and satisfaction. Since I decided to let go of Pho Than, my father has always been busy finding me a suitable marriage partner. In the past, because he and Pho Than did a lot of business together, they valued him even more. "Yes, he is much better than Pho Than." I stared blankly at Ta Van Nhu's latest status line. 【Thank you for having me, making the loss of my mother no longer so tragic.】 Attached is a landscape photo. I know, the person she is talking about is Pho Than. His "like" below the article made my heart ache even more. You must know that up to now you have never "liked" any of my posts. Even on the day my mother passed away, he was only busy going to class, not giving me much comfort. The oath I swore to my mother that year, now that I think about it, was just to reassure my mother and her mother. I smiled bitterly, then pressed like on that post. In the elevator, Pho Than held the phone and was stunned when he saw my like. He turned to ask Ta Van Nhu: "Did you take my phone to like?" She blushed and hesitated, unable to speak clearly. Pho Than stared at that like, panicking in his heart. The next moment, a red notification appeared – my new post. 【It turns out, registering marriage is not that difficult.】 Attached is a photo
marriage certificate. 【Who are you marrying?】 A message popped out, I just glanced at it and immediately blocked him. 【Don't joke around.】 【Is marriage something for you to joke about?】 But the sent message showed a red exclamation mark. Standing in front of the house, Pho Than was dumbfounded, his whole body froze. He was angry and punched the display screen in the elevator with one punch. As soon as the elevator door opened, he quickly rushed into the house. "An Hinh! How are you going to solve this when you make such a big deal of it?!"
