Chapter 5 — I Used To Love You To Exhaustion

Before, he felt annoyed, but now he is willing to comfort a jealous Kieu Van Ngoc. But waiting forever, waiting forever, Kieu Van Ngoc still did not open her mouth. He couldn't help but speak up, his voice dry: "Don't you have anything to say?" Kieu Van Ngoc's expression faded: "You have threatened me with the Kieu family, what else do you have to say?" Too unusual. Huo Canh Xuyen was about to say more, when Co Thanh Nguyet sent a voice message. He pressed the speakerphone.

“Canh Xuyen, don't forget to come with me to the party this afternoon.”

Kieu Van Ngoc finally opened her eyes and looked towards Hoac Canh Xuyen. Huo Canh Xuyen thought she was unhappy, but his heart finally felt a little more comfortable.

"Thanh Nguyet works in the entertainment industry and is easily bullied. I went to a party with her just to annoy those with bad intentions."

"She's not like me, she just needs to stay home and take care of the children. It's very hard to struggle on her own."

“Don't think too much.”

"But your body is not strong yet, can you..."

Kieu Van Ngoc interrupted him: "Go quickly, don't keep people waiting." Hoo Canh Xuyen seemed to have pressed the pause button and suddenly stopped: "What did you say?"

“I told you to go. I want to rest.”

Hoo Canh Xuyen was stiff for half a day. He was so angry that he laughed. He stood up and walked straight to the door: "Okay, Kieu Van Ngoc, you're very good! Don't regret it."

“Wait—”

He didn't turn around, but his steps stopped, his voice carrying a bit of "I knew it right away": "If you want me to stay, just say it directly, no need to hide it." Kieu Van Ngoc's voice still did not waver at all: "I just want to say, you haven't taken the car keys yet." Hoac Canh Xuyen's face suddenly sank. He stood there for a long time, determined that Kieu Van Ngoc really had no intention of keeping him, then took the key and angrily walked out the door. Kieu Van Ngoc looked at his back and hugged her chest. It turns out that no longer paying attention is this feeling. In the following days, she obediently recuperated in the hospital room. The nanny called to report that the young master was acting out, the young master refused to eat, the young master couldn't find someone to do his parents' homework, she insisted on just one sentence: "Find his parents."

“It and I have no relationship at all.”

The nanny choked on her words, and on the other end of the line came the sobbing sound of the little boy.

"Is she still angry with me? I didn't mean it. I really didn't know it would happen like that..."

“Why is she so petty…”

Kieu Van Ngoc decisively hung up the phone. The rare days were quiet until Co Thanh Nguyet came to the hospital to visit her. She wore a red dress, meticulous makeup, as soon as she entered the door, put down the fruit basket and naturally sat down in the chair next to the hospital bed, her lips curled into an arrogant smile: "Mrs. Huo, the feeling of being in the hospital is not pleasant, is it?" Kieu Van Ngoc frowned, vaguely having a bad feeling: "What does it have to do with you?"

“I just feel sorry for you.”

Co Thanh Nguyet smiled gracefully, her eyes flickering. "You don't have your own career, you're being harassed by the Huo family every day, your husband doesn't love you, and even the child you care for with all your heart is focused on someone else. You're in a lot of pain, aren't you?"

"How about giving me back Mrs. Huo's position. After all, Canh Xuyen and Than Than both like me."

Kieu Van Ngoc's heart throbbed. She took a deep breath took a breath and smiled coldly: "You go and tell Hoac Canh Xuyen. If he agrees to remarry you, I have no objections." The smile on Co Thanh Nguyet's lips stiffened, her expression distorted: "Do you think he will choose you? Kieu Van Ngoc, you really don't know how to perceive reality. You're just a dog next to him." Kieu Van Ngoc found it difficult to understand. She never thought that Huo Canh Xuyen would choose her. The secret desires and expectations of her teenage years had long since been eroded.
