Chapter 13 — Raising a Phoenix as a Chicken

"Dad, do you think I don't understand? I gave birth to another wild chicken outside! It flies better than me! It's better than me! I don't need you anymore!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, the corners of his eyes turned red, but he still tried not to let the tears fall. My chest ached: "Mr. Luc, Nac Nac is right. If you have other plans, it would be inconvenient for us to continue living at your house."

“I don't have any other children. I have my own children, why do I need someone else's children?”

Luc Tu Than quickly explained.

“What about Khuong Van Thu?”

He seemed to suddenly understand something. He reached out and covered Khuong Nac Nac's ears, then looked up at me and began to explain.

"Khuong Van Thu is Khuong Van Thu. She and I have never had any relationship."

22 I pursed my lips and did not respond.

"Five years ago, I thought the person next to me that night was her. So I always felt guilty, pampered her in every way, whatever she asked for I would agree, whatever she wanted I would buy. I thought... it was her debt."

"But after you brought Nac Nac back, I realized. I had identified the wrong person."

My fingertips trembled slightly.

“Because she quarreled with Trinh Vong Chau, she spoke nonsense and said the baby in her belly was mine.”

Luc Tu Than's voice became a little colder.

"I rushed there just to clearly state this right in front of her. I don't want her to use this to affect you and Nuoc Nac."

I choked for a long time before I was able to squeeze out a sentence: "So... on Nac Nac's kindergarten festival..."

"That day she called me, said she rolled down the stairs, had a stomachache, and said it was very serious. There was no one in the house at that time."

"When I was a child, I was almost slaughtered at the fish market. She told my parents to buy me back. Even though they bought me for stew, in the end, it was to save my life. I called 120 to take her to the hospital."

“Then I went to get something, so I wasted time.”

“I'm wrong about this.”

He lowered his head to look at Khuong Nac Nac who was still covering his ears, puffed his cheeks and glared at him, apologetically speaking.

“It was me who disappointed Noc Nac.”

Then, he took out a box from his pocket. Open it, inside is a ring. [Comment]: *【Isn't this the picture of the ring the female lead sent him a few days ago? The female lead secretly hinted that she wanted him to buy it!】* *【The male supporting character turned out to buy it as a gift for a passing character! The fact that he pampers the female lead and spends money like water is all because he recognized the wrong person??? The female lead is really disgusting, wouldn't she know if she did it herself or not? She was sure of it on purpose.】* *【The female lead's move is a bit disgusting... Because of an argument with the male lead, she intentionally claimed that the child in her womb belonged to the male side? Isn't this bringing disaster to the male side?】* Khuong Nac Nac quickly pushed away Luc Tu Than's hand covering his ears, his small face still puffed up. He glanced sideways at the sparkling ring in Luc Tu Than's palm, and finally reluctantly opened his mouth: "Dad, apologizing is useless..."

“But in honor of this sparkling thing, I'm willing to forgive you a little bit.”

Khuong Nac Nac reached out his chubby hand, grabbed the ring, and without waiting, stuffed it straight into his chubby finger. Luc Tu Than's eyebrows twitched and he reached out to pull out the ring from the son's finger: "This is for your mother, what should you wear as a son?" Khuong Nac Nac was stunned, his big eyes blinked: "For mom?"

“Yes.”

“So you don't have any?”

Luc Tu Than was silent for a second: "...Wait until your child grows up and then think about it later." His little face immediately fell, he turned around and threw himself into my arms: "So mom, don't forgive dad! Dad can't even buy me a shiny thing!" Me: “…” In the end, I still accepted Luc Tu Than's marriage proposal.
