Chapter 4 — After Eight Years You Mistaken Me

Chapter 7 The rain became lighter. I held an umbrella and stood with Thoi Phi, waiting for his driver to arrive. Before leaving. He turned his head to look at me.

“Can I invite you to dinner tomorrow?”

“No need.”

“Okay, so what about the day after tomorrow?”

“There's really no need.”

“Okay, so the day after tomorrow?”

If I continue to disagree. I have a feeling he won't be asking until next month. I sighed helplessly:

“Okay… okay.”

"So it's decided. The day after tomorrow, I'll invite you to dinner!"

Stop for a few seconds. He walked towards me again. Bend over and look at me. Beautiful, sparkling peach blossom eyes:

“Hua Phan, your sister is very similar to you, but you two are completely different.”

“Today, getting to know you makes me really, really happy.”

I couldn't react in time. He stood up straight, smiled and waved at me.

“Okay, I have to go. Goodbye.”

I came back to my senses:

“Goodbye…”

After seeing off Thoi Phi. I just returned home. Heard Hua Senh arguing with his parents about the dowry.

“Mom, dad, the things you prepared for me are already enough, don't add any more.”

It's Hua Senh's voice.

“How is that possible?”

Mom immediately responded. The tone does not allow objections:

“The Luc lady has money and power, so your dowry is too small and it will be unsightly.”

Hua Senh stopped. Helplessly sighed. Lowered voice:

“If parents give all the assets in the house to their children, what should Pham Phan do in the future?”

Just finished speaking. My parents, who were still determined, suddenly became silent because of that statement. A moment later. Mother's voice slowly rang out:

“Phan Phan... Phan Phan is not in urgent need yet.”

"Besides, her personality is not like yours. There's no way a rich family like the Luc family would pay attention to her..."

“Mom!”

Hua Senh saw me. Immediately loudly interrupted her mother. Afterward. My parents also saw me. The living room immediately fell silent. I curled my fingers. Finally, under their simultaneous gazes. I quietly went upstairs. Not long after. Mom carried a plate of fruit and appeared smiling at my door:

“Phan Pham, tell me what you want to eat for dinner, I'll ask the maid to make it for you.”

I shook my head. Was about to say no need to bother. My nose suddenly itched. I suddenly sneezed. Come back here in a few days. Sometimes I feel my throat is dry and I feel tired. Maybe he's not used to the climate and has a bit of a cold.

“Phan Phan, what's wrong with you?”

Mom took two steps closer, frowned slightly, worry flickered in her eyes. That look. Before, I only saw her face when Hua Senh was sick. My heart felt like it was lightly hit by something. ## Chapter 8 I looked at my mother without blinking. Try to see clearly whether the worried mother in front of you is real or not. She worriedly reached out and touched my forehead. Warm palms. Carrying a characteristic scent on the mother:

"Are you about to catch a cold? Why do you keep sneezing?"

My mind is hot. I sniffed my nose greedily:

“Mom, I…”

“Your sister is about to get engaged, don't give her the disease.”

Mom frowned:

“Phan Phan, if you have a cold, please move out temporarily. That will be safer.”

I was stunned. A little warmth just rose in my heart. In the blink of an eye, it was extinguished by a basin of cold water. Maybe he saw my face getting paler and paler. Mom also realized something. She quickly smiled and added:

“Mom... I'll pay you.”

I stood up silently.

“Sanskrit Pham, I don't mean anything else, don't think too much."

Mom chased after. Standing two steps behind me:

“But… but can I put on the mask first? Your sister is about to get engaged, her health has not been good since childhood, you know that..."

“I know.”

I spoke up. Interrupt her. Voice slightly shaky:

“I will wear a mask later.”

Chapter 9 Under my mother's constant supervision, I was forced to wear a mask. It was so stuffy in the room that I couldn't breathe. I decided to move a chair to sit in the yard. Cool wind blows gently. I leaned back in the chair, drowsy and sleepy. Years living in the countryside. It seems like no one cares how I live. My parents have both forgotten me. Only Hua Senh. Every vacation, she comes to visit me. Ask questions and care about big and small matters. What to eat, what to drink today, who to make friends with, she always asks about everything. Therefore. When I heard that she was getting engaged. I'm really happy for you. Unexpectedly, her husband-to-be is Luc Gia Hach. That's it. Wait for the engagement to end. I will return to my grandfather. Right at that moment. A cold voice rang out above his head:

“Are you Senh Senh's sister?”

This voice seems somewhat familiar. I thought dreamily. A familiar face suddenly appeared before my eyes. The drowsiness immediately disappeared. I suddenly opened my eyes and sat up straight. Sure enough, I saw a man standing in the dark in front of the door. He bowed his head and played with his phone. The light from the screen shines clearly on the jaw line. Seems to sense something. He raised his eyes. An indifferent look fell on my face. It's Luc Gia Hach. I had difficulty swallowing saliva. Use force to tighten the chair armrests. Finger joints turn white.
