Chapter 12 — 7 Year Marriage Isn't Real

"Sure."

Pho Thinh Lan's voice was extremely comfortable.

"I made more than a dozen phone calls."

"Block everyone he can find."

"Of course..."

"All for very reasonable reasons."

"Does he have any other way?"

"Sell shares."

Pho Thinh Lan replied.

"If he would cede fifteen percent of his shares..."

"There will be money immediately."

I interrupted.

"I bought it."

The other end of the line was silent for two seconds.

"Phuong Niem Tri."

"Are you serious?"

"I promised you."

"I'll give you fifteen percent of the shares."

"I have to buy it first."

"Then I'll send it back to you."

"During the whole process..."

"Luc Can Nien only sees the buyer as an investment company."

"He won't know my name."

"I won't know your name either."

"Why do that?"

"Because..."

I smiled softly.

"I want to wait until the sale is finished..."

"He just knew."

"The buyer gives away his whole life..."

"It's the woman he fooled for seven years."

Pho Thinh Lan burst out laughing.

"The operator."

"I cooperate."

Three days later. Lawyer Tran Tung, representing an investment company called Thanh Nguyen Capital, officially sent a request to purchase shares to Luc Can Nien. Reasonable price. Simple terms. Instant payment. Luc Can Nien... There is no other choice. Contract signing date. I sat in Co Dien Chu's office. See photos transmitted in real time. Luc Can Nien sat in the meeting room. Face pale. The whole person became noticeably thinner. When I put the pen to sign... The tip of the pen stopped for a long time. The lawyer sitting next to him had to remind him twice. In the end... He still signed. Fifteen percent of Luc Thi's shares... Transferred to Thanh Nguyen Capital. The real controller of Thanh Nguyen Capital... Luc Can Nien came to me. Not through a lawyer. Don't call. Which appeared directly under the building where I lived. That afternoon. I went down to pick up the delivery. A black car stopped right in front of the apartment gate. The car door opens. He walked down. Compared to the last time we met... Skinnier again. The jaw line is sharper. Deep sunken eye sockets. The suit was baggy on his body. Those eyes still haven't changed. Every time I look at me... It's as if I'm the only one left in this world.

"Nien Tri."

I stopped walking. Looked coldly at him.

"Are you following me?"

He shook his head.

"I've been looking for you for a month."

"I changed my phone number."

"Moving house."

"I can't find it."

"Today..."

He stopped.

"It was Thanh Yen who told me."

Chu Thanh Yen. The older brother I always call Thanh Yen. I quietly remember this debt.

"What did you come for?"

"Nien Tri."

"I want to talk to you."

He took a step forward.

"Give me ten minutes."

I looked at him.

"Five minutes."

"Say it right here."

He stood under the streetlight. The eyes were so complicated that I couldn't read them.

"That fifteen percent stake..."

"The buyer is me."

"Right?"

I don't admit it. Not denying it either.

"Registered address of Thanh Nguyen Capital..."

"Located in my grandmother's former office building."

"The whole floor is empty."

"There is only one company registered."

"I investigated."

"Nien Tri."

"I know you hate me."

"I understand."

"You don't have to destroy Luc Thi."

"I have never been wants to destroy Luc Thi."

I calmly replied.

"It's Luc Thi herself..."

"It's about to collapse."

His throat moved slightly.

"What exactly do you want?"

He looked at me.

"Tell me."

"What do you want?"

"An apology?"

"Want me to kneel down?"

As soon as he finished speaking... He actually dropped to one knee. Right under the street lights. In the middle of a normal small street in a residential area. Luc Can Nien... The neighbors passing by all turned their heads to look. I lowered my head to look at him. Seven years ago... He also knelt like that. Proposal day. One leg kneels on the ground. Holding a ring box in his hand. His eyes were full of sincerity.

"Phuong Niem Tri."

"Marry me."

"Let me take care of you for the rest of my life."

That day... Then nodded. And today... I just calmly looked at him.

"Stand up."

"If you don't tell me what you want..."

"I won't get up."

"Luc Can Nien."

"If you like to kneel in the middle of the street, just kneel."

"Losing face..."

"It has nothing to do with me."

I brushed past him. Go straight into the building.

"Nien Tri!"

I don't stop.

"The baby in my belly!"

My steps stopped.

"I know you were pregnant."

His voice trembled from behind.

"Thanh Yen told me."

"He said I had surgery."

"Nien Tri..."

"That's our baby."

I slowly turned around. He was still kneeling on the ground. Red eyes.

"That's my child too."

His voice choked.

"How could you..."

"What did you say?"

My voice was so calm that even I felt strange.

"You gave me sterilization pills for seven years..."

"Now ask me again..."

"Why don't you keep the baby?"

His whole body stiffened. It was like someone had just slapped me really hard.

"Luc Can Nien."

"My ability to have children..."

"It was you who ruined it."

"Those two children..."

"It's the last chance in my life."

I looked straight into his eyes. Say each word slowly.

"I left them..."

"Inside them..."

"Has half my blood."

His face... Completely pale. Lips moving. But couldn't utter a word. I turned around. Enter the building.
