Chapter 6
Chapter 6 — I took my three children and left, and he regretted it
I don't accept. Stuffed the card back into his pocket.
“The children are still young and do not understand the value of money.”
“Having too much is not necessarily a good thing.”
“I acknowledge your kindness.”
Tham Quyen looked at me for a long time. Finally sighed softly.
“You are so strong.”
“Isn't it good to be strong?”
He didn't answer. Just turned around and got in the car and left. I returned home. Niem An holds a piece of chocolate with the paper peeled off. Standing on tiptoes, I stuffed it into my mouth.
“Mom, eat.”
“This is very sweet.”
Chocolate gradually melts on the tip of the tongue. It's very sweet indeed. The next afternoon. The door was knocked again. I'm changing Niem So's diaper. Hands are not free. Then asked Niem An to open the door. The boy stood on tiptoe and reached for the doorknob. I struggled to pull and couldn't open it. I was so nervous that I called: I used a wet towel to wipe my hands. Be Niem So came out. Just opened the door. The sunlight outside immediately shone, making me squint my eyes a bit. Wait until you can clearly see the person standing in front of you. The fingers holding my child unconsciously tightened. It's On Di Tinh. In real life she is even more beautiful than in pictures. Cream colored dress. Pearl earrings. In her hand she was carrying two gift bags printed with the logo of a high-end mother and baby brand. Behind him was a young girl who looked like an assistant.
“Hello, To Van.”
Her voice was still as gentle as on the phone.
“It's so embarrassing to come suddenly like this.”
“I heard you brought your children to live here.”
“I just passed by often so I wanted to visit.”
Heard the phrase "just passing by". Even Niem An raised his head to look at her. This alley is located almost in the suburbs. It's not easy to get here conveniently. I'm not exposing it. Just lean in to give way. Step inside the house. On Di Tinh's movements clearly slowed down a bit. His eyes scanned the cramped room. Old house floor. Two bamboo chairs. And the baby crib is small and narrow. Her ability to control her emotions is very good. There was only a faint trace of surprise in his eyes. Then immediately restore your perfect smile.
“The babies are so cute.”
She placed two gift bags on the table.
“Just a little bit of heart.”
But didn't touch it at all. On Di Tinh squatted down. I want to reach out and touch Niem An's face. The boy immediately hid behind me. Her hand floated in mid-air. The corners of the lips still maintain a smile.
“A bit afraid of strangers, huh?”
Niem An stuck out half of her head from behind my legs. Seriously says:
“I'm not afraid of strangers.”
“I just don't like you.”
A crack finally appeared on the smile on On Di Tinh's face. Even if just for a moment. She stood up. Gently adjust the skirt. His voice was still as soft as before.
“I came here today with no other intention.”
“The matter between you and Canh Sam is over.”
“After this is a completely new beginning.”
“These items are just a little bit of my personal heart.”
“Don't think too much.”
“I don't think much.”
She looked at me for a moment. Then asked again:
“Raising three children alone is very difficult, isn't it?”
“Not difficult.”
“I see the living conditions here...”
She stopped for a moment. Perhaps pondering the wording.
“If you need help.”
“I can help you.”
I put Niem So back to bed. Rubbing Niem An's head. Tell your child to go play with the two younger siblings. Then he turned around and looked straight at On Di Tinh.
“Miss Wen.”
“Deputy Canh Sam is already yours.”
“I won't go back to fighting.”
“Even though this place exists No matter how shabby it is, it is my home.”
“Children, no matter how difficult it is to raise them, are my destiny.”
“No need for your pity.”
The smile on On Di Tinh's face faded a bit. But still maintaining elegance.
“To Van, perhaps you misunderstood…”
“No misunderstanding.”
I interrupted her.
“Just rest assured.”
On Di Tinh was silent for a few seconds. Finally nodded.
“Then I'll go first.”
“Just keep the gift.”
“No need to see off.”
I took her to the door. Watching the white Porsche gradually disappear from the alley. Niem An hugged the door frame. Say loudly to him:
“Your mother is very good!”
On Di Tinh never turned back. I close the door. Carry two gift bags to the end of the alley. Next to me is a scrap collector who is arranging cardboard. I put two bags of things on her tricycle.
"I'll see if I can use anything."
“It's all new.”
She opened her bag and looked. Immediately his eyes widened.
“This brand is very expensive.”
“You really don't need it?”
"No need."
I shook my head.
“The children are not used to it.”
Return home. Niem An is lying face down on the bed. Imitated Wen Di Tinh's expression exactly before. Sometimes I frown. Sometimes smiling gently. Then frowned again. Making Niem Du laugh non-stop. Niem So still kept her usual cold expression. Turn over once. Stick your butt towards everyone. I couldn't help but laugh. Midnight that day. Convenience stores are very empty. I leaned against the cashier counter and took a nap. The phone suddenly vibrated continuously. WeChat notifications rang endlessly. I thought the owner sent some notice. It's a message from Shen Quyen again. He sent me a screenshot. It's the hot search rankings on the internet. In the nineteenth position there is a topic: #General Director of Deputy Group Secretly Dating Beauties# The attached photo is the scene of Deputy Canh Sam and Wen Di Tinh coming out of a restaurant. Wen Di Qing took his arm. Smile brightly. Deputy Canh Sam's face was not captured clearly. But just look at that figure and temperament.
