Chapter 3 — Forgotten Thien Kim and Crown Prince Gia Hao Mon

Aunt Vuong pulled me up. Auntie Vuong knew about my father and Uncle Thoi's pre-planned engagement. But she didn't know that her brother wanted to change the marriage partner to her sister. I also didn't know that Thoi Tung had changed his mind. Sure enough, when she went downstairs, Aunt Lam was sitting in the living room. There is also a lady with outstanding temperament and beautiful appearance that I have never met. Seeing me, Ms. Lam's smile was a bit forced.

“Is Tai also here?”

Hearing that, the lady's eyes suddenly lit up. A smile immediately appeared on his face.

“You're the one in the field, aren't you?”

I nodded, not looking at the two of them. But looked towards his brother. I have never seen my brother so happy. He was so excited that he stood up. But the words are very concise.

“It's a new century, there's no such thing as arranged marriage anymore.”

“A big deal like getting married... I have to discuss it with my sister first.”

He told Aunt Vuong: "Go, call Eldest Miss, aka older sister, to come downstairs." The lady he had never met before suddenly interrupted him: "Eldest lady?"

“Wrong, wrong, the person our family wants to marry is Tai Tai.”

As for aunt Lam, she didn't say a word. He even avoided my eyes and smiled awkwardly. My chest suddenly ached. I unconsciously looked at my brother. I just saw his smile disappear. He seemed dissatisfied because his sister did not have the right to choose between two partners, frowning and asking the other lady.

“Madam, are you sure… Giang Tai Tai, not Giang Tinh Di?”

A voice came from outside the door.

“Sure.”

I turned around. A man stood at the entrance, wearing a black shirt, long pants, and a cold face.

“The person I like is Giang Tai Tai.”

Tam Mac. The only son of the Tham family. In the world, no one is ignorant. His father is the Chairman of Tham Thi Group. His mother is the "Chief Princess" of the Hong Kong tycoon. This is the most powerful family in Beijing's wealthy world today.

Is “Kim” such a… big character?

I looked bewildered at the man walking towards me. He is very handsome, with broad shoulders and a slim waist, like a model stepping out of a magazine cover. He looked at me, smiled and said: "We meet again, Tai Tai." I have finally recovered. Right. This voice is not wrong. It is “Kim”. I lowered my eyes, trying to suppress my nervousness.

“We meet again…”

Tham Mac's eyes stopped on my red, swollen eyelids for a second. He frowned slightly in an imperceptible way. He turned to look at my brother, clearly still smiling. But the tone was no longer as gentle as before.

“General Manager Giang, do you have any questions for me?”

The brother smiled approvingly: "No, no."

"So why do I hear you ask, is the person I want to get married to the person I want to marry? Is it possible for General Manager Giang to misidentify even the person I like?"

He plays with words and is deeply sarcastic. The tone is somewhat sharp. His brother's smile stiffened. Sneak glanced at me, not knowing if it was a warning or a reproach.

“How could that happen?”

Tam Mac didn't ask him anymore. Looking at me again, his voice returned to gentleness.

"So what about Tu Sao? Do you agree to this marriage?"

You seem to have my back, again as if comforting me. For some reason, I feel a little bitter in my heart.

“I—” I want to say yes, we made a deal last night.

Just as he opened his mouth, his sister's voice suddenly intervened.

"Is it you? Senior Tham?"

My sister is here. She came downstairs without realizing it. The expression was both happy and shy as he looked at Tham Mac.

“Senior?”

Why do you call Tham Mac your senior? I held my breath, my hand slowly tightening. The older sister had adjusted her expression and walked over with a gentle smile.

“Five years ago at the student debate competition in Shanghai, I was on the opposing side, do you remember me?”

Do you remember her? Will he be like Thoi Tung, after meeting his sister he doesn't want to be with me anymore? Is it like your brother, when you come, will he show you favoritism? Looking closely at Tham Mac, I suddenly felt nervous. But Tham Mac's eyes glanced at her sister's face, without even thinking, coldly asking: "Who are you? Why should I miss you?" Her smile stiffened. The surprise passed, his brother quickly continued.

“It turns out that Tinh Di and Mr. Tham have known each other before?”

“Looking like this, today Mr. Tham can reunite with Tinh Di, it's considered fate.”

Is it fate? But clearly Tham Mac came here to find me. The bottom of my heart felt like a bottle of vinegar had been spilled, so sour that my eye sockets were burning. I'm afraid my brother will find out and scold me. I quickly bowed my head, hiding my blurry eyes. Until Tham Mac's cold voice reached his ears.

"General Manager Giang, it's just a debate competition. Like you say, does anyone who has ever debated with me have a relationship with me?"

“At At.”

He paused for a moment, then looked at me again. His voice became as warm as the spring breeze. As soon as I raised my eyes, I met his steady gaze.

"You haven't answered yet, do you agree to this marriage?"

The bottom of my heart felt like a warm wind gently blew through, dispelling the clouds and filling me with warmth. At this moment, I couldn't see my brother's suddenly unsightly expression. Nor did I see my sister's pale, crying face. In my eyes, there is only Tham Mac, the person with a bright smile and the most beautiful voice in the world.

“Yes, I agree.”

The remaining procedures were left to Tham Mac to be handled by his mother - aunt An. Knowing I probably had something to ask, he asked me: "Bai, do you want to go out for a walk?" When he took me away, his brother's face was still dark. Her sister's tears were already falling. The sister is very beautiful. The thin lips gently bit, silently shedding tears, as beautiful as a painting.
