Chapter 3 — Aurora Doesn't Wait For You

She also wears the same necklace around her neck, and in the frame shows Chu Nghien's hand helping her fasten the clasp on the back. "A Nghien said the couple's outfit suits us very well, Duong Duong, do you like it?" I closed the box and returned it to the assistant. “Bring it back.” The assistant is a bit awkward. Chu Nghien's mother's voice was cold. “Tham Duong, Tieu Nghien has already given you the stairs to go down, what else do you want?” I raised my head. “I don't want to be her sister.” The smile on Chu Nghien's mother's face disappeared. “You are so sensitive, if you step foot into the Chu family, you will live a very miserable life.” The video call appeared, it was Chu Nghien. I picked up the phone. He was sitting in the business class, Tong Van Van tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder. “Did you receive the necklace?” “Received it, returned it.” Chu Nghien closed her eyes for a second, and when she opened them, her voice was filled with anger. “Tham Duong, don't make a big deal out of something small.” “5 year anniversary, is it a small thing?” “You said you would make up for it.” Tong Van Van sat up straight and raised her hand to remove the necklace. "A Nghien, maybe you should take it off, Ms. Duong Duong must be really worried about it." Chu Nghien held her hand. “Just wear it.” He looked back at the screen. "There's a party at our house tomorrow night. My parents want to discuss our marriage. You'll be on time. Today's matter will be over." Chu Nghien's mother immediately responded. "Did you hear that? The adults gave you a chance, stop being arrogant." On the other side of the screen, Tong Van Van bowed her head and touched the necklace. "Miss Duong Duong, I'm going tomorrow night too. A Nghien said my emotions are still unstable and I can't be alone. You won't mind, will you?" I looked at Chu Nghien. He did not deny it. That necklace ultimately remained on Tong Van Van's neck. As for my box, my assistant is still holding it outside the door. … When the Chu family's party was filled with guests, my seat was placed near the door. Chu Nghien's video is on, the tablet is placed next to the chair. My brother in Finland, Tong Van Van, is also in the frame, behind is the greenhouse that took me half a month to set up. Chu Nghien's mother smiled and greeted relatives. "Tieu Nghien is busy, so we should eat online with everyone first. When she comes back, we will set the wedding date." I held the chopsticks and didn't move. Tong Van Van wore a thick blanket, curled her eyes and smiled at the camera. "Miss Duong Duong, I'm sorry, I took your place. A Nghien said that in this room you can see the Northern Lights at night. I really feel sorry for you." Chu Nghien gave her a cup of hot cocoa. “Don't say these things, she will think too much.” An aunt from the Chu family looked at me. "Tieu Tham, don't show that face either. Van Van, this child's health is not good, Tieu Nghien is a very affectionate person who takes care of him." Another relative also joined in laughing. "A man who is affectionate is better than an ungrateful man. If you marry there in the future, you will also be blessed." I looked at the bed on the screen. At the head of the bed were two reindeer-shaped stuffed animals, souvenir decorations I had emailed in advance. I don't need roses, I don't need champagne, just a pair of reindeer. Because Chu Nghien once said, we are very much like two animals finding their way home in the snow. The same decorative scene has now become the backdrop for Tong Van Van's recovery. Chu Nghien met my eyes and her tone softened. "Duong Duong, don't look anymore. Wait until I get home, I'll take you to a better place." “Those two stuffed animals were ordered by me.” Tong Van Van was stunned, her fingers lightly touching the head of the bed. "Ah, I don't know. Ah Nghien, should I put it away?" Chu Nghien frowned. "No need." He looked at me. “Shen Duong, don't even count the two stuffed animals.”
