Chapter 5 — Oan Gia lost his mind, became husband and wife

Leaving the hospital, I seriously declared to him: "First of all, there is no love between us, it's all just a misunderstanding. Second, even if I give birth, it has nothing to do with you." “Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call.” He didn't answer me but took out his phone to call someone. I still didn't understand what was going on, but he happily shouted into the phone: "Grandpa! The project negotiated with the Nam family yesterday, please double it, no, triple it! I've decided to get married - yes, I want to marry Nam Khanh Khanh!" "Wait, don't be angry! I have good news! Khanh Khanh is pregnant, I just took her back from the doctor - it's twins! So I told you, we have to get married!" I was stunned, looking at Lam So Than as happy as Tet, still holding the phone and grinning. I had to take out my phone... call my parents myself. It's better to say it yourself than to let others warn you. A few minutes later, the two of us quietly looked at each other. "My grandfather said he would immediately arrange to go to your house to propose! If there are any conditions, you can state them in advance, so that my family can prepare." Lam So Than's face was full of excitement. I frowned: "But... my dad just said he would... break my leg!" 17 Of course my father didn't really intend to break my leg... But breaking Lam So Than's leg is entirely possible! It's just that he's still in a cast, so it's not convenient for my dad to "accept" someone who's covered in injuries. “My daughter absolutely cannot marry you!” My father declared decisively, bluntly rejecting all hope. "Uncle! I'm serious, I really want to marry Khanh Khanh!" Lam So Than stood seriously in front of my father, looking obedient like an elementary school student submitting a test. My father raised his chin and looked at me, asking in a decisive voice: "Daughter, don't worry about them. If you're pregnant, it's okay, give birth, I can raise you! There's no need to resent this and marry into the Lam family and suffer!" "Uncle! I will definitely not let her suffer! Since childhood, I have liked Khanh Khanh! Please believe me!" Lam So Than quickly expressed his sincerity. "What the hell do you like! Just a thick-faced, greedy brat! All he knows is how to trick my daughter! My daughter is easy to seduce, but not me!" My father scolded people without any respect. But at this moment, only one sentence echoed in my head: "Since childhood, I have liked Khanh Khanh." I started to think back in confusion - Except for the first few years when we were a little close, after that we were always fighting with each other, so why do we say we like each other? Not wanting to participate in this battle of words, I just quietly glanced at Lam So Than to see what tricks he was planning to play. "Uncle, I told grandpa - the conditions that both sides discussed yesterday, I tripled! Consider it a bride price for Khanh Khanh's wedding! If your family has any other conditions, let's continue discussing!" Lam So Than suddenly dropped a financial bomb, making the whole room silent for a few seconds. I silently screamed in my heart: Even if your father triples the amount, the money will still go into my account, right?! "Enough!" I suddenly spoke up from the sofa. “Lin So Than, the person you should negotiate with is me, not my father!” I glanced at him, annoyed: "The matter between us isn't over yet, why are you running to discuss it with my father? Even if my father agrees, if I don't agree, you won't get anything!" Lam So Than was a bit confused, turned to ask me: "So... what do you want?" “We've never even loved each other, but I want to marry? What do you think I should ask for?” “We already have a child…” He replied, looking a bit sorry for himself. “So what? Do I have to compromise for the sake of the baby? Like my dad said — my family can support me, and my dad doesn't object to me having a child outside of marriage. So if you want to marry me, the first person you need to convince is me.” My father stood next to me and said, "If you're willing to be my son-in-law, you can think about it more." “Uncle, you also know that is impossible.” Lam So Than refused very decisively. “So what else can I say? Say goodbye to guests!” My father opened the door to send him off without any respect. The situation was tense, no one gave in - but the most confused person... was me. 18 I sent Lam So Than to the door. Seeing him as if he had something to say but didn't dare to say it, I was both amused and angry. “Are you saying you really want to marry me?” "Correct! Don't worry, I told grandpa - whether your family agrees or not, I will marry you! Lam So Than looked at me with burning, determined eyes, as if everything he said was true. Although I can't say I "like" him, I don't hate him either, and I even have some indescribable joy in my heart. “So what do you like about me?” I couldn't help but ask curiously. “Do you remember when we used to hang out together when we were kids?” I nodded. Of course I remember, it's just that the memory is as faint as dust. “When we were kids, there was a time when we were chased by a ferocious dog, he tripped and fell, and I escaped but still came back, holding a small stick in my hand and ran to save him. Then we both got bitten, but at that moment I thought: you are the best person I have ever met.” “Do you remember when you got the vaccine? I was crying and he was laughing! Really mean!” I glared at him. “I'm not laughing at you!” Lam So Than immediately waved his hand, looking extremely unjust. “So what are you laughing at?” “Because my parents don't let me play with you anymore, but that day I was able to stay at the hospital and look at you a little longer. Even though you cry, I'm still happy because I'm close to you." Those words made my heart flutter a little. Suddenly I saw... the person in front of me was strangely adorable. “So that day when you get on the yacht, who are you going to find?” “Of course I'll find you. He wasn't close to anyone in that group. I said I wanted to talk to you, so I left immediately." “And yet you still go and win projects with my family!” I think about the terrible loss in the last deal, and I'm still angry. “I didn't win! It's my dad who won! And I was scolded because I couldn't stop it." Lam So Than sighed, his face full of "wrongful suffering". I laughed: “Why are you so stupid? If you like someone, you have to say it!” "But every time I want to talk privately, you're busy, your face is cold as ice, I don't dare open my mouth." Looking back, it seems like... it was my fault. "But hey, you said you wanted to marry me, while... we weren't even in a relationship yet." “Then… after we get married, I love you. I already like you, I can wait until you like me too.” His voice was very sincere. Sweet as a spoonful of honey flowing into my heart. I turned my head away, not wanting him to see my cheeks as red as ripe peaches. 18 My father doesn't mention the story of being forced to live in-laws anymore, because... the Lam family has given too much. Even though I felt it was all a bit ridiculous, I... quickly accepted this scenario. “—What if my grandchild is born again in the future? What if I have my mother's last name?" Because he was worried that his grandchild would be born with the surname Nam, Grandpa Lam decided to act quickly and quickly - signed several houses, telling my husband and I to choose as we pleased. The bride price was given in full, even... too full: • Cash, • Gold bars, • Jewelry, • Luxury cars, • Real estate, • Stocks... A large part was written in my name, the rest was given to my parents. And so, when I was three months pregnant, the wedding was held - everything was taken care of, I only needed one thing: Eat, drink, rest, take care of the pregnancy, beautify and breathe evenly. On the wedding day, I only showed up for a few minutes, then was invited back to my room to rest like a princess. The Lam family also specially hired 8 maids to take care of me from head to toe: • Everywhere I go, there is someone to help me, • The floor is covered with anti-slip carpets, • Even the stairs have someone on duty. I'm afraid of any small mistake. As for Lam So Than, he is now... quitting his job full-time and staying at home, teaching prenatal education every day, telling stories to his unborn child, and also saying that when I give birth, the baby will be taken care of by the nanny, and he will take me to make up for the missing days of love. I looked at him - the person who used to be stubborn and fought with me endlessly, but now he was as good as a cat, listening to whatever he said, just wanting me to be happy. At that moment I thought, perhaps all these twisted stories were deliberately arranged by God. But I... like you more and more. A story that begins with a wild misunderstanding, ultimately ends with love. [Full text complete.]
