Chapter 11 — Raising a Phoenix as a Chicken

Furthermore, I have no intention of forbidding Luc Tu Than from seeing his child. He can visit his child at any time and play with him at any time. He is still his father, this will never change. Just... can't continue living together anymore. What if he later marries Khuong Van Thu, what if they have a new family, new children, with Khuong Nac Nac in the middle? I don't want my child to suffer that self-pity. At least I can guarantee that in this life I will not give birth to any more children, Nuoc Nac will forever be my only treasure. But what about Luc Tu Than? The child in Khuong Van Thu's belly, he cannot abandon. On the way home, I didn't say another word. When he pushed the door into the house, Luc Tu Than was there. He looked like he had just come back from outside and hadn't even changed his clothes yet. Seeing us enter, he sat up a little straighter: "Aren't you going to participate in kindergarten activities?"

“It's over.”

Khuong Nac Nac sadly bowed his head and threw back an annoyed sentence: "Dad, you're late." Then he waddled upstairs, his small back showing disappointment. In the living room, there were only me and Luc Tu Than left. I thought for a moment and still decided to speak.

"Mr. Luc, thank you very much for your care recently. Nac Nac and I have discussed it and decided to move out. In the future, if you want to visit your child, you can come anytime, you are still his father, this point will never change."

He looked up at me: "What do you mean? Why do you two have to go?"

"Mr. Luc, we originally had no relationship, right?"

The pharynx in his neck slid up and down.

“Why not…”

Me: "Noc Nac is willing to follow me." Upstairs suddenly came the sound of Khuong Nac Nac's footsteps running down. He stood on the last steps and said to Luc Tu Than: "Don't worry, Dad, I will take good care of Mom. If I can't do it alone..."

“Then I will find a few more to take care of mom.”

Luc Tu Than's face instantly darkened. At that moment, his phone rang. Picking up the phone, on the other end of the line came a weak voice carrying sobs: "Tu Than... my stomach hurts..." Luc Tu Than held the phone tightly, his eyes were fixed on my face, silent for two seconds, then said to the other end, "Wait a minute", hung up, stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at me: "Lin Vi, wait until I return before mentioning this again." …… 19 I didn't wait for him to come home. That same night, I packed my luggage and led Khuong Nac Nac to move out. The housekeeper stopped at the door several times, so urgently that he went around, took out his phone and called Luc Tu Than repeatedly, but the other end of the line always heard a busy signal. I rent a small apartment. When Khuong Nac Nac first entered the door, he still looked east and west, a bit unfamiliar, but when I brought two servings of malatang and a portion of fried chicken up from downstairs, he immediately started gnawing on the chicken thighs until fat covered his mouth. In the middle of the night, he borrowed my phone and snuggled under the blanket, not knowing what to do. I was so sleepy that I couldn't help but ask too much. I turned over and fell asleep. The next afternoon, the doorbell rang. Opening the door, standing outside the door was a tall, thin man with a gentle face and clean temperament, holding a little girl with goat horn braided hair. The little girl held a box of strawberries, face up smiled sweetly at me: "Hello, auntie!"

“Thanh Thanh come here!”

Before I could react, Khuong Nac Nac rushed out from behind and enthusiastically pulled the girl into the house.

"I bought an Ultraman superhero card! There's also chocolate! Let's share it together!"

I looked at the other man, slightly confused: "You are..."

“I am Thanh Thanh's uncle.”

He smiled, his voice was gentle.
