Chapter 29 — I'm Busy All My Life, And You're Lonely

“Oh right, I have one more thing to confess to you.” He lowered his voice, "It's something related to Luc Tu Ngang."

Tong Tuyet frowned in confusion.

“What does it do?”

"Nothing." Luc Kien Quan was confused, "It's just that, a while ago, I did something very miserable."

He looked closely into Tong Tuyet's eyes.

“I once doubted he was not my biological child.”

Tong Tuyet's face changed instantly.

“What did you say?”

“I know, I shouldn't be so skeptical.” Luc Kien Quan hastily explained, "At that time my condition was very bad, my mind kept wandering, combined with some nonsense whispers outside, I lost my mind."

He took a deep breath.

"You sneaked behind me and the child's back and took them for DNA testing."

Tong Tuyet's face gradually turned colder.

“What are the results?” She asked coldly.

"The results confirmed that the boy is indeed your biological son." Luc Kien Quan bowed his head, "Hundred percent."

Tong Tuyet stared at him, her eyes filled with shock and deep hurt.

“When did you do that?” Her voice choked.

“About a while before the infarction.” Luc Kien Quan bowed his head, "When I held the results in my hand, I felt like I was truly a bastard."

Tong Tuyet smirked, her smile was cold and piercing to the bone.

“You finally admitted it.”

“I originally intended to bury this matter in the grave.” Luc Kien Quan clarified, "But the doctor said, don't let your emotions pent up. Every time I think about this, I feel indescribable pain in my heart. More importantly, I feel you have the right to know how terrible a mistake I made."

Tong Tuyet's fingers tightly grasped the handle of her bag.

“Luc Kien Quan, after all these years of living together, is there anything about you that makes me doubt you?” She asked angrily.

"Do not have." Luc Kien Quan shook his head vigorously, "I don't have it. It's because my mind is not pure, so I see everyone as impure."

He raised his head and looked straight into her eyes.

"Tong Tuyet, before marrying you, who was that man?"

Tong Tuyet was stunned.

“What do you mean?”

“Back then, I told you that I loved someone, and then we broke up.” Luc Kien Quan repeated, "Back then I was still young and heartless, so I didn't ask."

He smiled bitterly.

"This time, lying on the hospital bed, I suddenly remembered this incident. After that, I started to speculate wildly, wondering if you still missed him, wondering if Luc Tu Ngang had anything to do with him."

Tong Tuyet took a deep breath.

“You're really…” She gritted her teeth, “You're really good at playing tricks.”

“I know.” Luc Kien Quan confessed, "That's why I have to confess to you how stupid I am."

Tong Tuyet was silent for a long time.

“He has nothing to do with us.” She affirmed, "He is currently residing abroad, is married, has two children. We have broken off contact for more than ten years."

Luc Kien Quan nodded.

“Now that you say you believe, what else is the use?” Tong Tuyet coldly questioned, "You secretly went to do the appraisal. Who exactly is the person you don't trust? There's no need to tell them to please."

“The person you don't trust is yourself.” Luc Kien Quan bitterly admitted, “I don't I believe I deserve you, so I'm always afraid that one day you'll regret it, someone will steal you from my arms."

Tong Tuyet was stunned.

“And yet the way you keep me is by not even coming home?” She was sarcastic.

“Yes.” Luc Kien Quan smiled bitterly, "I was afraid of losing you, and at the same time used my own actions to push you away."

He lowered his eyes.

"Tong Tuyet, if possible, one day, can you tell me the story of you and him in the past?"
