Chapter 5 — People Come Later But It's Fate

Ky Chuoc helped me wipe my tears and gently said: "Sorry... at that time I was just angry and jealous. "Angry because you chose Pho Hoan so decisively. Still avoiding me... I thought you really loved him." “At that time I thought, if you really plan to leave, I will lock you up.” "I thought it was too simple... until I found out that he actually gave you to someone else..." Ky Chuoc suddenly waved his hand and slapped himself hard: "You're such an idiot." 20 He hit too hard, the right side of his face immediately became red and swollen, and the corner of his lips even bled. I panicked and held his hand: "Are you crazy?!" I intended to pretend to be gentle as usual, to calm him down. The story of how you beat Ha Tan was so tragic, he probably had to stay in the hospital for a long time - even worse than I was in the past. But when I faced his eyes filled with pain, I was speechless. The fact that Pho Hoan "handed me over" to Ha Tan in the past - basically not many people know. But Ky Chuoc... then made Ha Tan so miserable that he could no longer "use" it. No one dared to risk offending the entire Ha and Pho family by repeating this story. As for the fact that I chose to follow Pho Hoan at that time... it was just because I had low self-esteem. Only then was Ky Chuoc welcomed to the Ky family. I didn't want him to offend Pho Hoan because of me - that's not worth it. Later, I avoided him, not because of the excuse of "fear" like I told Pho Hoan... All the jealousy that had been hidden for so long rushed out. I couldn't help but ask: "And where is your girlfriend?" Have you broken up? “It's only been a month since I liked someone else, what right do you have to blame me for avoiding you?!” If I hadn't heard about the moment you were kicked out of home, alone and without support, I wouldn't have come back to look for you! Ky Chuoc's eyes were still red. Hearing me change the subject too quickly, his eyes turned from guilty to helpless: "The gift hasn't even been given yet, are you already asking to break up?" I was stunned, immediately understanding the hidden meaning of his words. Ky Chuoc hated that I was slow to understand, so he bit me: "Are you still planning on sharing now, girlfriend?" 21 Break up? Of course no way. I just didn't expect it - in less than a month, Lam Thanh and Pho Hoan had gone their separate ways. In the video call, she was sitting on the sidewalk eating grilled skewers and chatting. The fake weakness from before disappeared, and even the freckles on his face showed a bit of wildness. When I met Lam Thanh, she proactively came to me. The opening sentence sounds like asking about a career: "Sister, what three elements do you need to be a canary?" That's when I knew — the day I got dumped, she was also present at the scene, and was aiming for that black card. I warned: Pho Hoan only sees you as a shield, that money is not easy to spend. She flipped her hair and said coldly: "Wealth must be won in danger, the gifts of fate all have a price. Sister, I understand!" Now, it's still that arrogant style. While eating, he mumbled: "You don't know how weak that guy is. He's drunk and keeps calling me by name. I'm an actor, not a prostitute. Give me a stick and consider graduating from the course." Hearing that Pho Hoan was hospitalized, there was no wavering in my heart. Just remind Lam Thanh: "Eat slowly, so you don't choke." She hiccuped because of the alcohol, then continued to complain: "I suspect he wants to play the 'cremation funeral' game. Every day I look at your photo and laugh, it's scary. Ban During the day I play the canary, at night I have to act as the sister - two roles, one salary, tired to death. But..." She rolled her eyes and glared: "If you're sincere, don't look for a replacement. People like him are selfish to the core, and every time they spend money, they are generous. Hehe, a few million of money to say goodbye, if there's another case tomorrow, I'll still volunteer." At that moment, Ky Chuoc reached out from behind, clearly jealous, deliberately emphasizing each word: "Which wife?" Lam Thanh thoughtfully turned around and said: "Hey hey, I just said something wrong." Sister, this must be my only future brother-in-law, right? He's so handsome, far ahead of that guy across the street! After hearing this, Ky Chuoc was pleased: "Later, when you use my sister's phone, I'll send you some pocket money." Lam Thanh immediately shouted happily: "Thank you brother-in-law! Sister, brother-in-law, heaven has given birth to a pair, a hundred years of happiness, everything will be as expected, born soon—" I immediately hung up. Turned around and glared at Ky Chuoc: "Children." He raised his eyebrows, looking triumphant: "I like you when you're childish." His arms and legs began to feel restless, I pretended to resist: "What are you planning to do?" Ky Chuoc looked up at me from below, his eyes contained a bit of suppressed aggression. The next sentence was hidden in his shirt, his voice carried a smile, finishing the words that Lam Thanh had not yet finished: "Soon give birth to a noble son." 22 The day I learned that the story about Ky Chuoc being evicted from home was fake, I immediately vented my anger with a crazy shopping spree. Then there was the unilateral cold war. He knew he was at fault, so he followed me and begged: "I was wrong... don't ignore me..." He bowed his head warmly, mumbling softly: "But if you don't pretend to be chased, I will never come close to you..." Even though it was true, I still retorted harshly: "You mean the bed is as hard as iron, the tattered shower you use... is it also an act?" Ky Chuoc pursed his lips, before he could open his mouth, I said first: "I don't care!" Even if it's just one day, it's still a day of suffering! You even gave me a fever, Ky Chuoc, you raised me so badly!” Although he later added a few layers of soft blankets, boiled hot water for me to bathe in, and the air conditioner was also turned low because I was hot. I had a fever, he stayed up all night to take care of me. But… I'm the best at being unreasonable, so what about going back to the past? Ky Chuoc could only kneel and beg unconditionally: "I'm sorry... can you forgive me?" He raised his head and looked at me from below, his eyes blinked innocently, his usual cold gaze faded, suddenly like a big puppy. That's when I discovered - he was only wearing an apron, completely empty inside. My pupils constricted, my face turned red, I quickly turned my head and pretended not to see. Even though I knew he was deliberately using his beauty to fascinate me, I had to admit - he really had a beautiful figure. That's not right... I have to say, I still feel a little softer when looking at it. When you love someone, their clumsy tricks... turn out to be very cute. Just like now - I'm confused by you. In my head I was thinking: It's enough for you to think like that for me, it's okay to be a little clumsy... That thought... is indulgence. Furthermore, Ky Chuoc was born with a talent for love. He is a sweet lover to the point of perfection. 23 On Valentine's Day, he gave me the necklace he won at the auction as a gift. He put his hand on my neck, his voice was gentle: "I hope hope, you can be like this necklace... not a chain that binds, but just a small jewelry, beautifying my free soul. "Of course, since it's a gift, it's yours. Even if you tear it up right in front of me to play with, it will still be considered to have fulfilled its value." In just a moment, the necklace I had previously found cumbersome and flashy, thanks to his words, suddenly became full of life. Although its ultimate use is a bit... hard to say, every time I see it now I still can't help but shiver - but Ky Chuoc's sincerity makes me choke up. Same now. I'm angry, just because you made me worry all the time - afraid of your revenge from Pho Hoan. I want you to remember deeply, to learn a valuable lesson. But in the end, I gently bit his collarbone, rolling my eyes and feigning ferocity: "Just wait, when you and Pho Hoan fight, both sides lose, I won't even bother to feel sad for you." Having said that, when Ky Chuoc actually confronted Pho Hoan, I still secretly gave him a USB. In it are all documents about bidding, cooperation, and shady tricks that cannot be made public. Initially, I intended to face and end all this past alone. But now, walking hand in hand with the person you love, it doesn't seem so bad. The day Pho Hoan was overthrown, he sat in a wheelchair, staring at me: "You're not skinny." I know - he was remembering when I returned from Ha Tan's place, so skinny that I no longer had a human figure. I lost my appetite and wanted to die. I had to receive nutritional infusions to try to get through the day. Until I saw a flash of regret in Pho Hoan's eyes. Later, he even forced Ha Tan to kneel in front of me.
