Chapter 21 — Not married yet, asked me to have children, I turned around and married the CEO

My mind exploded in that moment. Turns out... that's it. The one who was moved first... was you. Everything you do, not for responsibility, not for transaction. It's because... love. Tears could not be held back, sliding down my cheeks. But this time... it's not because of pain, nor because of self-pity. It's for happiness. A kind of happiness overflows, to the point that the heart can't contain it. He no longer held back, leaned down, captured my lips. That kiss was no longer a test, no longer a half-truth, half-false tease. It's possession, it's burning heat, it's joy like finding something that was lost a long time ago. He opened each layer of my defenses, entangled each breath, not giving me any way back. Stupid but sincere, hugging him tightly, responding to everything with his heart. That moment… No more contract. There are no more boundaries. Only two people left... truly love each other. After that day, everything changed. We are no longer two strangers living under the same roof. But a real husband and wife - intimate, attached, no distance. He took me to the company, introduced me to each employee, held my hand as if announcing it to the world. He took me to every gathering of friends, his eyes always carrying pride when talking about me. He remembers every day of my physiology, prepares red sugar water and heating bags, the little things that make people shake the most. He once booked an entire restaurant, just to watch a movie with me at midnight. He used every action... to make all my dreams of love come true. As for me, I finally had the courage... to take him home. My small house, normal, simple, but always warm. The moment my parents saw him, they almost dropped the bowl and chopsticks in their hands. They couldn't believe it, the person I called an "ordinary office worker"... was the man who regularly appeared on the front pages of financial magazines. But Luc Canh Tham... doesn't have the slightest bit of arrogance. He carried all kinds of gifts, bowed before my parents, his voice was calm and sincere.

“Dad, Mom, I am Canh Tham.”

The sound of "Mom and Dad" made the two of them both happy and flustered, not knowing how to react. At dinner that day, he went into the kitchen himself. Four dishes, one soup. The taste... is really hard to describe. But he ate very well, as if it was the best meal. At the dining table, he looked at my parents with serious eyes.

“Dad, Mom, please rest assured that Niem Niem will be given to me.”

“I may not give her the whole world… but I will give my whole world to her.”

My parents looked at him, looked at the way he took care of me little by little... Finally let go of all worries. They held my hand, their eyes were red.

“Nien Niem, you found a good person... Mom and Dad, don't worry.”

When we left, it was dark. The two held hands and walked in the small apartment complex, the night wind carrying the typical summer heat.

“Luc Canh Tham.”

"Thank you."

“Thank you for what?”

“Thank you… for loving me.”

He stopped, turned around, and pulled me into his arms. His chin rested lightly on the top of my head, his voice lowered.

“The one who should say thank you… is you.”

“Thank you for appearing… for being the light in my life.”

Then I heard Mr I talked privately with Tan Uyen Nhu. From then on, she no longer caused trouble for me. Although still not really friendly... but at least, she accepted my existence. As for Chu Hao and Luu Thuy Lan... I don't hear any news about them anymore. Like two grains of dust... Blown away by the wind, disappearing from my world. My life opened to a completely new page. Brilliant, bright, full of possibilities that have never been thought of. I quit my job. With his support, I opened a small design studio, doing what I really love. You don't interfere in my career. But always standing behind... is the strongest fulcrum. There are people who come into your life like the wind. There are also people... It's destiny. One year later. On the shore of the Aegean Sea, a splendid and tender dream-like wedding is taking place, where blue sky, white clouds, blue sea and fresh flowers blend together into a breathtakingly beautiful picture. All the people I loved and loved me were present, standing there, smiling, witnessing the most important moment of my life. I put on a pure white wedding dress, arm in arm with my father's, slowly walking towards the man standing at the end of the red carpet - the person I chose, who also chose me. Today he is wearing a white suit, his aura is so outstanding that it seems like he stepped out of a fairy tale, where all dreams can come true. His eyes passed through the sea of people, stopping on me, gentle, deep, carrying an emotion so strong that it could not be hidden. My father stopped in front of him, put my hand in his, his voice lowered, carrying both trust and affection.

“Canh Tham, my daughter… from now on I leave it to you.”

He squeezed my hand, his palm warm and steady, like an unspoken promise.

“Dad, don't worry.”

We stood next to each other in the sunlight, in front of everyone, exchanging rings, exchanging vows, giving each other a lifetime. When he said "I agree"... I saw in those always calm eyes, sparkling water appeared for the first time. And I know… Me too. After the ceremony, there was a brilliant party on the beach, the night wind blew softly, fireworks bloomed in the sky, beams of light bursting like lit dreams. In the sound of everyone's blessings, we hugged and kissed each other, as if we wanted to keep this moment forever. At night, we returned to the beach villa. He stood behind me, hugged me, and looked out the window with me at the endless starry sky.

“Lady Luc.”

His voice rang softly in my ear, low and warm.

"I love you."

Just three words... But enough to fill the whole world in my heart. I turned around, stood on tiptoe, and placed a gentle but firm kiss on his lips.

"Mr. Luc... I love you too."

Looking back on the past year, everything feels like a long dream with no end. From despair after betrayal... to surprise when meeting you. From a marriage with only ties... to a sincere, deep love. My life has completely changed because of this man. He healed the wounds I once had. He gave me a future that I never dared to dream of before. You make me believe that... in this world there really exists such a person. Someone who will overcome everything, just to be by your side. Someone who will use all his gentleness and strength... to protect you forever. Luc Canh Tham. You are the only exception in my life. Also... the greatest luck of my life.
