Chapter 1 — Excellent Matchmaking Object

I put 500 yuan into the matchmaker's hand and told her to say something good about me. The matchmaker was very thoughtful and introduced me as someone who was skilled in playing chess, calligraphy, painting, and was both gentle and capable, as well as intelligent and skillful. So I easily married a good husband. Also the type who stays abroad all year round and doesn't come home. The accompanying condition is to take care of a child under five years old. I waved my hand, no problem! From then on, hot pot grilling never got boring, my mother and I lived happily like fairies! At this time, I used a tissue to wipe away the non-existent tears, crossed my legs, and in a soft, weak voice lamented to my husband over the phone: "No matter how big the house is, without you it wouldn't be a home." A low laugh rang out on the other end of the line, carrying a bit of amusement: "Wife, the house has a surveillance camera."

“Not just one.”

I immediately stopped my swaying legs and carefully tucked myself into the blanket. The tone remained unchanged: "What are you talking about? There are surveillance cameras in the house? Why didn't you know?" I glanced around this large villa, with its luxurious interior. I secretly installed many pieces of furniture while Lo Cam was not home, and he never returned, so how could there be a camera?

"Are you threatening me? I'm already scared enough looking at this empty house alone, but you're still saying these things!"

I pretended to be angry and said in a reproachful tone over the phone: "I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Then immediately hung up. Sitting on the bed, I began to calm down and temporarily remained motionless. Damn, eight months already! It's been eight months since we said there was a camera? Lo Cam is definitely lying to me. If it's true, then my image... has completely collapsed!

Lo Cam and I met each other through matchmaking. He is thirty-one years old this year, earns millions of yuan per year, is tall, and has good looks. It is said that he also had a girlfriend before. But Lo Cam's job is quite special, she often disappears without a trace, each time she goes for half a year. Moreover, he also had a small child with him. He is the son of close brothers, and was raised by him before his death. At first, the girl didn't care about this, but the problem was the child. This is not an ordinary child, but a boy with extremely high violent tendencies. It was said that on the first day we met, the boy swept someone down with his legs, his mischief continued, and in less than two days she ran away. Until you met me. I come from a poor background, don't have a high education, and only have one thing: a thick skin to face life. I gave 500 yuan to the matchmaker and told her to make me look a little more radiant. As a result, according to Lo Cam's ears, I have become a person who is skilled in chess, calligraphy, painting, is responsible for housework, and is both a gentle and radiantly beautiful wife. Lo Cam was interested. When she met me once, she was even more interested. So the next day, he immediately went to register the marriage, gave a bride price of one million yuan, and included this villa. But there is a condition attached: Must take good care of that violent boy. I held my head, my eyes darting around the room warily. I'm really not sure if what Lo Cam said is true or false. While thinking, there was suddenly a knock on the door. I was just a little late in answering, the door was blown open with a loud bang.

Outside the door stood a child. You thick, big round eyes, looks like a male version of a Western doll. Wearing a small suit with overalls, he looked no different from a young gentleman. At this moment, the boy was looking at me with gloomy eyes. I get it, this kid is hungry. If it were before, I would have grinned and rushed forward, regardless of whether the boy hit or scolded me, I would have grabbed and pinched those two chubby cheeks, then smiled cunningly like a Xinjiang monster, shouting with delight: "Oh my god, whose baby is this? Why is he so cute? Let me kiss you quickly!" Not now. If it's true what Lo Cam said, there really is a surveillance camera in this house, then I have to maintain my image. Taking ten thousand steps back, Lo Cam cannot always follow me, there is still time to change.

“Lam Quynh, Lam Quynh, you are a gentle woman, you are a gentle and honest person.” I reminded myself.

So I forced the gentlest smile possible, walked gracefully like a blooming lotus flower, slowly approached the child, bent down, and softly said: "Baby, are you hungry? Let me cook some noodles for you?" The kid was stunned. The boy unconsciously took a step back. After a moment of hesitation, the boy frowned and asked: "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

“…”

I raised my hand to cover my lips gently, smiling gently: "What are you talking about, baby? Are you always like this?" The kid thought for two seconds, then turned around and ran back to the room. I didn't know where to dig out a fully pumped water gun, aimed it straight at me and sprayed it. The water splashed hard, splashing straight into my face. I... couldn't stop laughing.

I wiped my face and took a deep breath. This child's last name is Lo, his name is Lo Duong. When Lo Cam is not at home, I always call him "kid" which is both convenient and friendly. But now I don't dare anymore, I can only swallow my anger and try to show how hurt I am.

“Lo Duong, you still hate me, right?”

I covered my face and cried, my face was already full of water, no one knew if I really shed tears or not. My voice was choked up, sounding extremely painful: "Auntie has done everything she can, I'll buy it for you whatever you want... why do I still not like you?" Lo Duong was dumbfounded again. The boy's tiny brain couldn't understand the unpredictable actions of adults. He was just a little suspicious, tilted his head and asked again: "Lo Duong?" Haven't you always called him "little guy"? I choked, felt like I couldn't continue, so I quickly stood up to warm up some milk for the boy. Lo Duong is extremely picky about eating, so I trained him to eat less but eat more meals, so nutrition can still be guaranteed. To be honest, at first this kid and I didn't go well at all. The day Lo Cam and I just registered our marriage, he immediately disappeared. Just left me a set of villa keys, telling me to arrange everything myself. So, when I knew that Lo Cam was not here and that this entire villa was completely under my control, I held a grand celebration party that night. I cooked myself a spicy hot pot. Extremely luxurious. Shrimp, meat, hot pot balls... everything was bought in bulk, this is something I never dared to think about before. The first time the kid met me, before I could even open my mouth, the boy jumped up and started kicking and punching, his strength was amazing. It looks like an angry lion cub, determined to protect its territory me. I also got angry, patted the boy's butt a few times, warning him that if he dared to behave impolitely like this, he would not eat. The child did not listen. So I did it for real, not preparing any dinner for the boy. When I was almost finished eating hot pot, I remembered that there was a child in the house. He looked so pitiful, so I boiled the remaining beef, put it in a bowl, and brought it to the kid. At first, the boy was determined not to eat. But the aroma of hot pot spread throughout the room, his hungry stomach grumbled, and in the end he still held his face in anger and bowed his head to eat the entire bowl of meat. The result... the boy had diarrhea for three days and three nights. I didn't know this kid's stomach was so weak! The first time I took care of a child, I had no experience at all. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. I immediately picked up the child and ran straight to the hospital. During that time, I kept holding the boy tightly. The baby had a stomach ache, so I immediately rubbed my hands to warm them and placed them on his belly to soothe him. The boy groaned uncomfortably, and I sang children's music to comfort him. The child's two small hands clung tightly to me, and just like that, we hugged each other for three days and three nights. From then on, the boy no longer hit me. That's it, a naughty kid, just needs a hot pot to deal with it!

It was very difficult to get the child to sleep. I maintained the image of "gentle and motherly" all day long, and finally ran out of energy. After showering, I climbed into bed, trying to think of any other way to maintain this image. But I was so sleepy, I couldn't resist the urge to sleep and fell asleep without even realizing it. So, I was completely unaware that... In the middle of the night, someone quietly pushed open my door, carrying dangerously hot breath, standing right next to the bed. But the kid heard it. The boy still retains memories from a long time ago. At that time, he was only two years old. He remembered clearly, it was also a dark night, abroad, a group of people suddenly broke into his house. They coldly murdered his parents without any hesitation, and then did horrible things to his mother's body. He didn't cry once, but everything was engraved in his memory. He will never forget the despair and extreme fear that night. So, he instinctively wanted to use violence to solve everything. If you can't solve it... just kill them all. The boy quietly appeared at the door, holding a small knife in his hand - a gift from Uncle Lo. The boy did not want that woman to die. This woman was a bit crazy, but he didn't want her to die. He wasn't sure if the person inside was an accomplice of the people who killed his parents or not. But this time, he was not afraid. You will protect her. Before he could take another step, the person inside suddenly appeared right behind him. A cold wind passed by, and the opponent's hand rushed forward to slash the boy's face. The boy quickly retreated, pulled his knife out of its sheath, preparing to risk his life with him. But before he could do anything, he was lifted up in mid-air.
\bow tie?" The kid was startled.

When he regained consciousness, he was carried downstairs. Seeing clearly the person who had just hugged him, the boy's eyes immediately lit up and he happily shouted:

“Uncle Lo!”

“Shh.”

Lo Cam hugged him, let him sit firmly on his strong legs, then whispered:

“Don't wake her.”

After observing for a while, he nodded slightly:

“It seems You're getting fatter."

The boy pursed his lips and smiled slightly. Being forced to eat five meals a day, he was very restrained. This time, Lo Cam took a leave of absence for three days. To be honest, he was very interested in this little wife of his. Working abroad is like dancing on a knife edge. And my only joy... is to see what else my little wife will do today.
