Chapter 9 — Husband Says First Love Doesn't Feel Safe, I Always Change the Locks

“After all, your story is so touching.”

She lowered her voice:

“Are you going to release these things?”

“Depends on your expression.”

Lam Nguyet smiled coldly.

“Tham Tri Y, don't be too confident.”

“A Nghien will not leave you.”

I nodded.

“May you two stay locked together.”

Having finished speaking, I turned around and left. Behind him, Lam Nguyet's voice rang out:

“Aren't you afraid he'll regret it?”

I stopped walking and turned around.

“I'm even more afraid that he won't regret it.”

“If that's the case, then I'll feel like the way I've looked at people over the years has been so bad.”

Lam Nguyet was stunned. I don't pay attention to her anymore. After returning home, I saw Chu Nghien standing in front of the door. Seeing me, his face was extremely ugly.

“You came to find Lam Nguyet?”

“Come to deliver your things.”

“Tham Tri Y!”

He walked quickly.

“What do you want to do anyway?”

I raised my head to look at him.

“It's not that I don't understand.”

“I want you to move out.”

He stared at me.

“Just because you're with Lam Nguyet?”

“Not only that.”

I calmly said:

“But because I see this family as a hotel.”

“If you want to go home, go home.”

“If you want to go, go.”

"By default, there will always be someone to wash your clothes, cook for you, take care of your children, be filial to your parents, and clean up the mess you leave behind."

“Chu Nghien.”

“I'm not a hotel receptionist.”

"We also don't accept customers like you who owe long-term fees."

His eyes gradually darkened. Chu Nghien's face darkened.

“Do you really have to talk about it like that?”

“What about Tieu Vu?”

In the end, he pulled his daughter out as a shield. I looked at him.

“Do you remember Tieu Vu now?”

Chu Nghien pursed his lips.

“She needs a dad.”

“She needs a responsible father.”

“Not a father who leaves his daughter hungry for two hours just to celebrate someone else's birthday.”

As if he had been slapped hard in the face, his expression was extremely unsightly.

“I admit I didn't handle it well yesterday.”

I shook my head.

“You didn't handle it poorly.”

“I just arranged the order very clearly.”

“Lam Nguyet ranked first.”

“You are second.”

“My mother and my sister came in third.”

"And Tieu Vu and I are last."

“Before, I used to think that as long as my name was on the list, it would be enough.”

“But now I don't want to stand in line anymore.”

Panic finally appeared in Chu Nghien's eyes.

“Tri Y, you can change.”

“What do you want to change?”

“I won't look for her anymore.”

He hastily said:

"I will delete all her contacts. I will go home immediately after work. I will learn about Tieu Vu. If you don't like my mother coming, I will tell her."

I looked at him. If these words were spoken half a year ago, I would probably cry. If I was told three months ago, maybe I would have believed it. If I had told him that night, maybe I would have given him another chance. But now, what I want to know most is... Why did he have to wait until the lock was changed before he realized how important the door was? I took out my phone and called Lam Nguyet. Turn on speakerphone. Lam Nguyet picked up the phone very quickly.

“A Nghien?”

Her voice was so soft that it made others want to pity her. Chu Nghien's whole body stiffened. I said into the phone:

“He's around next to me.”

Lam Nguyet was silent for a second. Immediately after that, his voice immediately choked up.

“Miss Tri Y, I know you hate me. But don't force A Nghien anymore."

“Last night he stayed at my place all night without sleeping.”

"Actually, he's very worried about you, he just doesn't know how to say it."

I looked at Chu Nghien.

“Hear that?”

“Before you even deleted her contact, she helped you prepare a way out.”

Chu Nghien's face was sometimes blue, sometimes white. He grabbed the phone. Say on the other end of the line:

“Lam Nguyet, don't contact me in the future.”

The other side immediately became quiet. Lam Nguyet's voice was full of disbelief.

“Ah Nghien, what did you say?”

Chu Nghien closed his eyes.

“I said don't contact me again in the future.”

Lam Nguyet's voice trembled.

“Have you forgotten what you promised me?”

Chu Nghien did not answer. Lam Nguyet burst into tears.

“I once said that as long as you need me, I will definitely come.”

I looked at Chu Nghien. He avoided my eyes. It turns out that promise really exists. Lam Nguyet continued:

“You also said Tham Tri Y is very independent.”

“She doesn't need you.”

“But you are different.”

At that moment, the last bit of emotion left in my heart completely fell away. It's just that everything is finally clear. I got my phone back. Tell Lam Nguyet:

“Thank you.”

Lam Nguyet was stunned.

“Thank you for what?”

“Thank you for telling the truth on his behalf.”

I hung up.
