The emotions in his eyes were very complicated, not entirely happy. Because from now on, he can't continue to hide it from me anymore. But I have never belonged to anyone. I am no one's canary. This is just the first step. We understand all too well the consequences of relying on others. In this life, I want to stand above ten thousand people. Nguyet Tam becomes more attached to people. Except when hunting and storing food for the winter, he is almost always by my side. Despite being the clan leader, he became a servant to do chores for me. The clan members all laughed when they saw this. He was afraid that I would run after another male. He did not refute:

"Du Du is so outstanding, of course I'm afraid. But you have the right to choose."

Yes, we have the right to choose. It's just that he won't give me the chance to choose. This man looks cold, but his mind is very small. As long as he was in the cave, he would never rest, tormenting me until I trembled even when walking. Where do I have the heart to find someone else? He can't wait to have children with me. But I can't get pregnant. The last time I lit a fire to decoct medicine was just the first step in my plan, not entirely because I wanted a child. I still take birth control pills. Before overcoming the tribulation, I did not want to have children. Nguyet Tam is also very patient. I haven't had a child for so long, yet he doesn't complain, he just tries harder. But the contraceptive pills I hid were still discovered by him. ### 4 After discovering the pills, he was extremely angry, his eyes looking at me were red and scary.

"I asked another doctor. This is a birth control pill."

"Tham Du, am I not worthy to be your child's father?"

I opened my mouth and looked at him pitifully, not knowing how to explain. Mainly I'm a little afraid of him taking action. With this small body of mine, he can kill me with just one punch. My silence in his eyes was tantamount to admission. He crushed the pill in frustration.

"It seems you have another male in your heart. I won't stop you. Go."

I didn't expect that in his anger, he would just release me. I held my chest in pain, feeling a bit uncomfortable. He treated me very well. How can other males compare to him? Moreover, as strong as he is, does he not have any confidence in himself? I stepped forward and hugged his waist, my forehead just resting on his chest:

“No, I can explain.”

He was so angry that he was about to die, but still gave me a chance to explain:

“So explain!”

My eyes filled with tears, feeling a bit sorry for myself:

"I just want to give birth a little later. Is it okay to wait until spring? Winter is too cold."

He's still angry. I discovered that he only has a cold appearance, but when angry, he looks like a child. I hastily added:

"I promise you, from now on I will only give birth to children with your last name."

Here, whoever gives birth to a child will have that person's surname. That's why Ly Man Man and I are not the same father. But I hope my child will only have one father in the future. This is a very heavy promise. Therefore, a look of surprise and joy flashed in Nguyet Tam's eyes. He quietly calmed down his anger. But what should happen still happens. Winter is when the Snake Clan is at its weakest. The pestilence silently came. The first to fall were the relatively weak females. This type of pestilence will causing the skin to ulcerate, fester, and cause pain and death. This is something I only learned about after becoming the wife of the head of the Rabbit Clan. That was their plot. They had long planned a plan to attack the Black Snake tribe, collaborating with that mysterious witch doctor to create a terrifying plague. Taking advantage of the Black Snake tribe's hibernation and weakness, they dealt this place a fatal blow. Because the Black Snake tribe lacks powerful witch doctors, they can only watch helplessly as each clansman dies. Later, the ice and snow melted, the tribes led by the Rabbit tribe together attacked the Black Snake tribe, easily defeating this once strongest tribe. This time too. Their evil plan has begun. Nguyet Tam was worried that I would also be infected with the plague, so he went to deliver medicine to me. As a result, he was also infected. Afraid of infecting me, he left the cave and went out into the snow and ice. When I found him, his whole body was covered in white snow, with sores on his body and a high fever. At that moment, my heart felt like it was touched by something. Once in the Tuyet Ho tribe, females were just chess pieces used to please other tribes, no one had ever paid attention to me like that. Before, I needed Nguyet Tam to protect me. And now, I really want him to live. I gave him medicine to treat the plague, stayed up for three days and three nights to take care of him. The moment he woke up, he swept me into his arms:

“It's great to be able to see her again.”

"Are you stupid? Aren't you afraid of being infected?"

I placed his hand on my lower abdomen:

"Afraid. But I can't leave the child without a father."

His eyes, which had always been cold, were like melting ice and snow, filled with joy to the point of madness:

“We have a baby?”

I nodded shyly, firmly holding his large hand:

"Yes. So you must live a good life!"

"Don't be so stupid in the future. Otherwise, your child will only have someone else's last name."

Nguyet Tam's expression became very serious. As if he was punishing me, he lightly bit my fingertip:

“That absolutely cannot happen.”
