Chapter 24 — Being Slagged by My Mother-in-Law in the Crowd, I Turned to Sell the House

Sunlight filtered through the curtains and fell on his eyelashes. Pour down a gentle shadow. I couldn't help it... Gently raised my hand to touch his face. Gently sketch each of those familiar lines. Maybe he can feel it. Long eyelashes trembled slightly. Slowly open your eyes. In those deep eyes... At first it was a bit of a dream that just woke up. But very quickly... Filled with intense joy and love. He pulled me into his arms. Chin resting on top of my head, gently rubbing. His voice was hoarse because he had just woken up. I still carry a bit of self-pity that I don't hide.

“You don't call me husband?”

I raised my head from his lap, deliberately raising my eyebrows.

“General Director Tran…”

“We've grown so fast, haven't we?”

"I haven't approved the marriage application yet."

Tran Khai looked at my sly smile and paused for a few seconds. Right after that... He immediately looked unjustly like a child whose candy was snatched away.

“On Tinh, you can't be like that.”

“Last night you obviously agreed to my proposal.”

“I still said…”

“My kingdom still lacks a male master.”

I laughed out loud.

“I didn't say I lack a male master.”

“I lack someone who can stand and admire the scenery with me.”

“Partner and husband…”

“Those are two different concepts.”

I sat up and put on my dressing gown. Bare feet walked to the ground-level glass door and pulled the curtain open. The morning sunlight immediately flooded the room. I stretched my back. Feel the warmth of the sun covering you. Tran Khai gently hugged me from behind. His chin rested on my shoulder. Hot breath blew in my ear.

“Dear Queen Wen Qing.”

“What do I have to do to pass your test…”

“To be officially transferred here?”

His voice was low. Carrying magnetism that makes one's heart soften. My heart missed a beat. I turned around. Her arms wrapped around his neck, looking seriously into his eyes.

“Very simple.”

“First…”

“Never lie to me.”

“I will always be on your side.”

“It's also the most important thing.”

I stopped for a moment. Stand on tiptoe and lean close to his ear, speaking softly.

“Don't ever think about…”

“Control your life.”

“Because my life…”

“Only belongs to me.”

After listening, Tran Khai did not hesitate. He held up three fingers. Unprecedented serious expression.

“I, Tran Khai, I swear.”

“If you can't do these three things…”

“Then let me…”

I raised my hand and blocked his lips.

“No need to swear.”

"I trust you."

I believe in my own eyes. Also believe that... This man is worth giving me the rest of my life. Three months later. We held a solemn wedding in Bali. Do not invite the media. There are also no prominent figures in the business world. The people who showed up... were all our family and closest friends. I wore a wedding dress tailored by the world's top designer. Holding his father's arm... Slowly walked towards the man standing in front of the priest. So tense that my palms are sweaty. The moment my father put my hand in Tran Khai's hand... His eyes turned red. He patted Tran Khai on the shoulder. Use a common accent mixed with a strong country accent and speak seriously.

“The boy.”

“Your daughter has suffered too much before.”

“If you let him suffer any more self-pity…”

“Even if I risk my old life hey…”

“Uncle won't forgive you either.”

Tran Khai nodded vigorously. Voice choked.

“Dad, rest assured.”

“As long as I have you here…”

“No one will dare to bully her anymore.”

“I will spend my whole life loving and protecting her.”

The moment of exchanging rings... I looked at Tran Khai's hands shaking with emotion. I remember someone else. Remembering a completely opposite wedding. I don't know... How is he living in that strange land? But that thought... It only crossed my mind for less than a second. Was completely thrown out of my mind. His life. Live or die. It's no longer relevant to me. My life... Has entered a completely new chapter. There is only sunshine, blue sea, the person I love... And a beautiful future that lasts forever. After getting married... Our life is sweet but busy. Hundred billion project officially started construction. Tran Khai and I became the two busiest "air shuttles". We looked at the drawing together. Run together at the construction site. Because of the same design detail, controversy turned red. They also hugged each other and cheered when the project reached a new step. We are husband and wife. Be a lover. They are also each other's best teammates. One year later. My belly is getting bigger and bigger. My parents moved here permanently. Every day they change the dishes they cook for me to eat. As for Tran Khai... He turned into a genuine "concerned father". He almost canceled all social interactions. Every day, I leave work on time to go home. Tell me a story. Play Thai teaching music for your child. Massage my swollen feet. That careful look... As if I were the most fragile piece of porcelain in the world. I often tease him.

“General Manager Tran.”

“If you let the staff see you like this…”

“Where is the majesty left?”

He always smiles stupidly. I said while rubbing my belly.

“What majesty?”

“Nothing is more important than your wife and children.”

The night of the birth. I was pushed into the delivery room. Tran Khai outside was as impatient as an ant crawling on a hot pan. A few hours later. A resounding cry tore through the long night. The nurse held a beautiful white baby and walked out.

“Congratulations Mr. Tran.”

“It's a little girl.”

“Mother is round and child is square.”

When I was pushed out of the delivery room... The first thing I saw... was Tran Khai's face, both crying and smiling stupidly. He didn't run to see the child first. But rushed straight to my bed. Hold my hand tightly. Over and over again he kissed my forehead and the back of my hand.

“You've had a hard time.”

“Thank you…”

“I love you.”

I looked at him. Look at your closest loved ones surrounding you. A tear of happiness fell from the corner of his eye. My life... It's finally complete. I am no longer a vine that must rely on others to continue living. I am a big tree. A tree strong enough to protect the people I love from the wind and rain. As for the people who hurt me... They have long turned into tiny dust under my feet. Giang Ha in Ecuador is not living well. He doesn't know the language. Not even a single survival skill. Very quickly I spent all that money. In the end, I had to wander around the streets and markets to beg for food. Because he stole a loaf of bread from a child on the street... His leg was broken by a local person. On a cold, rainy night... Died on a street corner in a foreign land. No one picked up his body. I stand at the pinnacle of the commercial empire he built with his own hands. Holding his lovely daughter in his arms. Next to me is the husband I love deeply. Is my strongest family. I looked at the sun on the horizon slowly rising. Dyeing the entire sea surface into a brilliant yellow. My life… It's just begun. I — On Tinh. This life must be lived brilliantly. Live like a clear sky for miles. Brightness that nothing can cover.
