Chapter 3 — I Used To Love You To Exhaustion

Updated 10/08/2026 4 min read

She wanted to ask Huo Canh Xuyen why he didn't protect her and her mother, wanted to ask why he kept staying by Co Thanh Nguyet's side, wanted to ask him if he still loved Co Thanh Nguyet. But the words that came to his mouth turned into: "Really?"

"Really. I will definitely treat our child well." Huo Canh Xuyen's words were so sincere, so passionate, that it made Kieu Van Ngoc's heart soften.

She was willing to believe him, after all she had liked him for so many years. When Kieu Van Ngoc was pregnant for the second time, Hoac Canh Xuyen really took care of her very carefully, saying that he would not let anyone hurt her. But the one who took action was Hoc Than, and Hoo Canh Xuyen immediately changed his attitude. Having fallen in love with someone, Kieu Van Ngoc suddenly came to her senses. Even though they are divorced, the person Huo Canh Xuyen loves is still Co Thanh Nguyet. She was just a temporary patchwork when he was tired, just a "Mrs. Huo" used to take care of the children. If it weren't for Co Thanh Nguyet, anyone could fill this position as Mrs. Huo. Kieu Van Ngoc doesn't want to continue anymore. Chapter 3 The next day, Kieu Van Ngoc woke up very early to pack her personal belongings. She used to treat this villa as her home, carefully decorating every little corner. Hoac Canh Xuyen occasionally gets stuck in the potted plants' feet, and often scowls and calls her "troublesome", but sometimes still helps her with watering. Those small details once made Kieu Van Ngoc have the illusion that perhaps Hoo Canh Xuyen also liked her. Now that I think about it, those were just his heartless actions. Holding on to the slightest trace of illusion, desperately wanting to prove that she was loved, she felt pitiful. Now preparing to leave, Kieu Van Ngoc just wants to take everything that belongs to her with her.

"Kieu Van Ngoc! Why don't you make me breakfast! What is this!"

Outside the living room came Hoac Than's screams. Kieu Van Ngoc frowned and walked out of the room. The dining table was a mess, the boy's face was gloomy, and the maid stood next to him with his head bowed. Kieu Van Ngoc's facial expression did not change: "Hoo Than, as a human being you must have a minimum of politeness. You can not call me mother, but at least call me Miss Kieu."

“It's so annoying! I was asking why you didn't cook breakfast for me!”

Kieu Van Ngoc glanced at the bowl of porridge that was knocked over on the table. To ensure that Hoac Than eats happily, Kieu Van Ngoc specially went to cooking school, every morning taking the trouble to cook elaborate porridge dishes for him. Hoac Than always openly criticizes, half-eaten, half-empty. Today she didn't cook, but instead it became unfamiliar. Kieu Van Ngoc calmly said: "I'm so tired, I don't want to cook. Go find Co Thanh Nguyet to cook for me."

“From now on I won't cook anymore.”

Hoo Than looked at her with disbelief: "Miss, you promised your father that you would take good care of me! How could you do that!" Kieu Van Ngoc curled her lips and smiled beautifully: "Oh, that was the story before. And now—"

“Whoever wants to take care of you should go take care of you.”

Being a stepmother is really difficult. Before, Kieu Van Ngoc was extremely patient, gentle, delicate, and soft-spoken towards Hoac Than. Everyone forgot that she was also the eldest lady who was raised by the Kieu family like an egg, like a flower, and her personality was not that gentle. Hoac Than has never suffered from her With this kind of sarcasm, he was suddenly stunned on the spot. The corners of its eyes gradually turned red. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Hoac Canh Xuyen led Co Thanh Nguyet in.

"Hu hu, dad, mom, this evil woman bullies me! Abuses me! Doesn't let me eat!" Hoac Than rushed forward and burst into tears in Hoac Canh Xuyen's arms.

Co Thanh Nguyet looked at Kieu Van Ngoc uncomfortably: "Mrs. Hoac, I'm not here, are you just bullying my son?"

"That's right, who said this is my house, not yours."
