Chapter 1 — The day my boyfriend got engaged, I revealed my identity as Thien Kim

The Day My Boyfriend Got Engaged, I Let the Whole Hospital Know That I Was a Thien Kim of the Tham Family To train myself, I hid my identity as the only daughter of the Tham family, a prestigious family in Beijing. The first year I worked at Nhan An Hospital in Nam Thanh, I fell in love at first sight with the hospital's youngest head of the Surgery Department, Luc Canh Hoai. During the five years of our relationship, he was both my boyfriend and my superior. He pampered me completely, letting me do whatever I wanted. However, he never took me back to the Luc family's old house to meet the adults. Only later did I learn that his family did not value me at all. After all, the Luc family is also a famous medical family in Nam Thanh. In their eyes, I am just a poor girl from a small district. Hearing more and more talk in the hospital about the difference in family background between us, I decided to tell him my true identity. But at that moment, he suddenly disappeared all day, with no trace. Until the ninety-ninth time he spent the night outside and didn't come home. I saw in his office a guest list for the engagement ceremony that was still unfinished. The bride is the daughter of Principal Chu. As for the groom... It's Luc Canh Hoai, the person who still shares sex with me every day. It turned out that while he was holding hands with me, he had already accepted the marriage arranged by his family. Therefore, I also secretly did something from him. I received the seal representing the heir to the Tham family that my father gave me. Now, he has someone else in his heart. It's time for me to leave. On the other end of the phone, the parents were overjoyed.

"As long as you return home, your position in the house will always be kept. Even your office, parents have already had someone clean it up."

When talking about the boyfriend I met in Nam Thanh, my mother couldn't help but worry.

"What about your boyfriend? Are you planning on bringing him back with you? You probably haven't told him your true identity yet, right?"

"Yes, I will break up with him."

Speaking of Luc Canh Hoai, my voice was so soft that I could almost not hear it.

"Within a week, I will have everything resolved here."

That night, Luc Canh Hoai did not come home. And I didn't care at all. The next morning, I woke up and went straight to the hospital to submit my resignation letter. After completing all the procedures, I invited a few colleagues who were quite close to me for a meal. Knowing I was about to leave, someone laughed and teased:

"Nam Chi, you've done the procedure so decisively, is it true what the internet says, are you really going home to inherit the family fortune?"

I nodded.

"That's right, I'm here to inherit the family fortune."

Everyone was stunned for a moment then burst out laughing. Everyone thought I was joking so I didn't take it to heart. I laughed too, without further explanation. After eating, I picked up the box and returned home. As soon as he pushed the door open and walked in, Luc Canh Hoai was also at home. Seeing me walk in carrying a cardboard box, his hand holding a glass of water stopped in mid-air.

"Are you on leave?"

I was too lazy to explain, so I just nodded, grabbed the box and walked towards the room. He walked quickly to block in front of me.

"Didn't you say that every day in the operating room is fun? Why suddenly vacation?"

I looked into his eyes and smiled slightly.

"Because I have more important things to do."

"What's going on?"

Hearing me say that, Luc Canh Hoai just assumed that I was preparing something surprising for him, so his tone softened.

"I should have rested a long time ago. Such a hard job, every day following him from one surgery to another. Seeing you tired, I also feel sorry."

"Nam Chi, you must know that, even if you don't become a doctor anymore, I can still support you."

"I don't need you to raise me."

I looked straight at him, emphasizing every word.

"I don't want to be anyone's dependent."

Luc Canh Hoai looked at me for a long time.

"How can I be a dependent?"

I was no longer in the mood to listen to his sweet words, so I interrupted.

"Why did you come home so early today?"

"Aren't you so busy these days that you don't have time to be with me? I was afraid you would be sad, so today I deliberately took some time to take you out on a date."

He opened his arms to hug me.

"Nam Chi, where do you want to go? Whatever you want to do today, I will be with you."

His eyes were still gentle as before. Looking at me, it's like the past five years have never changed. If it were before, I would definitely be touched. After all, he is the head of the Surgery Department most respected by Nhan An Hospital. Every day the surgery schedule is full until late at night, so busy that sometimes I don't have time to eat. The fact that he can spend time with me at least proves that I hold a very important place in his heart. But now... Looking at that face, all I could think of was the guest list for the engagement ceremony. After all, busy with work... Or busy preparing for the engagement ceremony? How could he discuss marriage with another woman while comforting me that the only person he loves the most is me? So many questions have reached the corners of my lips. In the end, I still swallowed it back in. After all, there are only a few days left. At that point, I will completely disappear from his life. I refused his offer, my eyes stopping on the photos taken together hanging in the living room.

"Luc Canh Hoai, let's clean up the house. There are many things that are old and there is no point in keeping them anymore."

"As ordered, Mrs. Luc."
