Chapter 6 — The Rest Of Your Life Is Sweet

On the screen is a photo of me and him kissing by the beach eight months ago. Because I can't bear to replace it, I still keep this old phone as a backup.

“You call me bad every day?”

He turned the phone screen towards me.

“Still hiding my buttons as a souvenir?”

He raised his eyebrows and walked towards me step by step.

"Tran My Giai, is this probationary period ultimately a test of me, or a test of yourself?"

My face was so red that it was about to bleed. My mind was working frantically, trying to find a hole to crawl down.

“I… I use it to exorcise evil spirits!”

I'm still speechless:

“A bad man's shirt button has a very good effect of exorcism!”

Hoo Tranh laughed softly, just about to open his mouth to refute.

“Ding doong! Ding doong!”

The doorbell suddenly rang. That sudden sound was truly the straw that saved my life.

“I'll open the door!”

I rushed to the lobby like a rabbit and immediately pulled the door open.

“Check water meter or delivery…”

I haven't finished my sentence yet. The whole person was stiff in place. Outside the door. There were two familiar figures standing there. My father carried two live chickens that were clucking. My mother held a basket of eggs still covered in mud. The two people had just arrived from a long distance, their faces cheerful.

"Daughter! I heard you gave birth! Mom and Dad came here specially from the countryside!"

My father's loud voice rang out. There was a "bang" in my head. Done. I absolutely didn't dare tell my parents about me and Hoac Tranh getting back together. Not to mention that I am now in the house of a “wild man”! ## 7

“Dad… mom… why are you two here?”

My voice trembled. My father glared.

"This unlucky person! Big things like giving birth and not telling his family!"

He pushed me aside, carried the chicken and went straight inside. But just took two steps. My father stopped. He saw Hoac Tranh wearing home clothes, standing in the middle of the living room. The air immediately froze. My father's eyes glanced back and forth between Hoac Tranh and me. His face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“My Giai.”

My father's voice was so cold that it froze:

“Who is this man?”

I swallowed my saliva, my mind went blank.

“He… he is…”

"Hello, I'm My Giai's boyfriend, Hoac Tranh."

Hoo Tranh calmly walked up and bowed slightly.

“Very good!”

My father immediately got angry. He threw the chicken to the ground, rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward.

"It's your bastard that got my unmarried daughter pregnant and has to run everywhere holding her belly, right?"

My father is a veteran, this one punch is no joke.

“Dad! Don't hit him!”

I screamed in panic. Hoac Tranh stood still in place, not dodging at all. He received a strong punch on my father's shoulder. He groaned softly and took half a step back.

"You were right to hit me."

Hoo Tranh raised his head, his eyes straight.

"It's because you didn't take good care of My Giai, causing her to suffer."

My mother quickly pulled my father back.

"Mr. Tran, don't get excited! Listen to people's explanation first!"

Hoo Tranh turned around and walked to the tea table. Pull out the drawer. Take a thick stack of documents, give it to my father with both hands.

“Uncle, this is the report of my brain aneurysm surgery eight months ago.”

My father was stunned and received it suspiciously. Hoac Tranh took out another stack of papers.

“Here are all the train tickets and the plane tickets I used to go to Dali, Chongqing and Chengdu to look for My Giai in the past eight months.”

He placed each thing on the tea table. The movements are calm, not fast, not slow.

“This is your salary card, and this is the certificate of ownership of this apartment.”

“The owners' names have all changed to My Giai.”

My father looked at the pile of red books and bank cards and was immediately stunned. My mother also came over, inhaling a cold breath. It's not over yet. Hoac Tranh took out his phone, opened WeChat and found a chat history. Bring it in front of my father.

“Uncle, I have always kept in touch with you over the past three months.”

I stuck my head out to look. My jaw almost fell off. In chat history. 【Mr. Tran: Tieu Hoac, the roof in the countryside is leaking, help me find a worker.】 【Hoo Tranh: Uncle, I have made the arrangements, I have paid the cost.】 【Mr. Tran: Tieu Hoac, your blood pressure medicine is about to run out.】 【Hoo Tranh: Uncle, the quarterly medicine has been sent, please pay attention to receive the goods.】 【Mother Tran: Tieu Huo, Aunt Truong's set of speakers for dancing in the square is really good.】 【Huo Zheng: Auntie, I ordered the highest-end version of the same model, it will be delivered tomorrow.】 I opened my eyes wide. Is this really my parents' WeChat?! Since when did they secretly collude with Hoac Tranh behind my back?! My father looked at the chat history, his already angry face immediately turned red. He cleared his throat, his mood suddenly changed.

“Ah... Tieu Hoac, it turns out it's you.”

My father suddenly pulled down his sleeve. My mother directly patted the back of my head.

“Tran My Giai! This damn girl!”

My mother pointed at my nose and scolded me.

“The person was seriously ill and was afraid that it would involve the child, so he hid it! I'm fine, I didn't say a word and ran away for eight months!”

"If Tieu Hoac hadn't been apologizing to her parents every day for the past three months, mom would have come to take me home long ago!"

I was scolded until I couldn't lift my head. No, why isn't this happening? I'm the biological child!

“Mom! He tricked me first!”

I warmly protested.

“What a trick!”
