Chapter 2 — Long-term Contract Marriage

She walked over, stood on tiptoe and put the coat on Luc Nghien Tu's body, reaching out to adjust the collar for him, a naturally intimate movement. After finishing those things, she turned to me, her voice gentle: "Nguyen Nhu, the blind date was decided by my grandfather, also for your good. Lam Canh Nguyen's conditions are so good, you marrying there will not be at a disadvantage. I have already accepted the invitation for you. Tomorrow he will come to the hospital to visit his mother, the two of you can meet each other just now." I stared at her: "Who let you accept for me?" “I only want the best for you.” “Do I need you to be nice to me?” My voice turned cold. Khuong Van Nhu's face turned pale, she hugged her chest and took a step back, her breathing was rapid, as if her asthma was about to flare up. Luc Nghien Tu immediately caught her, frowned, turned to look at me with a reproachful voice: "Khuong Nghien Nhu, you know her health is not good, do you have to force her?" I looked at the appearance of security guard Khuong Van Nhu and suddenly burst into laughter. "Luc Nghien Tu, when he was twelve years old, in order to protect me, he fought with a group of boys in the neighboring house. His face full of injuries, he told me that if he bullied me in the future, he would beat that person. Do you remember these words?" His throat moved, but he said nothing. “Now, the person who bullies me is the person you protect.” I withdrew my gaze. “Forget it, pretend I didn't say it.” I turned around and went into the house. As soon as I arrived at the mysterious entrance, I heard my father's voice ringing out from the living room: "That year, if Nghien Tu hadn't proactively come to me and said that Van Nhu had his child and must marry her, then this marriage would have been Nghien Nhu's." My steps suddenly stopped. Luc Nghien Tu entered from behind and stopped behind me. I slowly turned around to look at him: "Is he telling the truth? That year, you took the initiative to find your grandfather and said that Khuong Van Nhu was the mother of your child, and you wanted to marry her?" He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds, then said in a low voice: "Yes." “Is there nothing to explain?” "Do not have." I looked at him without blinking for two seconds. Twelve years of love, five years of running away, until this moment completely shattered. I didn't say anything more, opened the main door, and went straight out. The night wind is very strong. I walked along the road for a long time, then took a taxi back to the hotel. When I fell down on the sofa, my whole body felt cold. The phone vibrates. Khuong Van Nhu sent a message to: 【Nguyen Nhu, Mr. Canh Nguyen will go to the hospital tomorrow. Please dress modestly, don't be rude.】 I looked at the screen and felt extremely confused. She was anxious to marry me off, but because she was afraid that I would take Luc Nghien Tu back. My finger hovered over the phonebook for a long time, finally stopping at a name. After making the phone call, I slept peacefully. The next morning, I changed into a cream white shirt and black pants and went straight to the hospital. As soon as I arrived downstairs in the hospital room, I was stopped by the Khuong family. Grandfather stood in front with a cane, my father and Khuong Van Nhu stood next to him, Luc Nghien Tu stood on the other side. Next to Khuong Van Nhu there is also a man wearing a dark blue vest, probably Lam Canh Nguyen. “Running away all night, I thought you left again.” Grandfather coldly snorted. "Just heard, Canh Nguyen specially came to visit your mother. Let's have a nice talk." Lam Canh Nguyen took a step forward, his tone carrying a feeling of superiority: "Nguyen Nhu, I've heard Van Nhu tell your story. It's not easy for a girl to strive alone in a foreign country. From now on, follow me, I will take good care of you, and will also help with aunt's medical expenses. I am very pleased with you. When she finishes surgery, we will get engaged." “I am not satisfied.” I looked at him, my tone cold. The scene immediately stiffened. “Khuong Nghien Nhu!” Grandpa was so angry that he kept poking his stick into the ground. "Don't be unreasonable! It's your blessing that the Lam family keeps an eye on you!" “I don't need it.” "You!" “Grandpa, don't be angry.” Khuong Van Nhu quickly supported her grandfather and turned to advise me: "Nguyen Nhu, don't be impulsive anymore. Mr. Canh Nguyen's conditions are so good, there will be no more mistakes. Me too.

Can't not get married all my life?" "Whether she gets married or not, it's not your turn to worry." A low male voice came from behind, carrying a sense of oppression, instantly suppressing all the noise. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound. The man wearing a dark gray suit slowly walked over, stopped next to me, and naturally put his arm around my waist. He lowered his head and glanced at the man in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked coldly: "Just now you said you wanted to get engaged to my wife?" As soon as those words fell, the entire scene was silent for three seconds. I tilted my head to look at the person next to me. Late Dien Chau. I met him abroad five years ago. We have been married for two years, each person lives his own life, but the necessary chemistry is not lacking at all. Today he is wearing a dark gray vest, the cuffs are neatly buttoned, his standing posture is casual but still exudes nobility, his voice does not sound superfluous.
