Chapter 7 — Forgotten Thien Kim and Crown Prince Gia Hao Mon

His brother's company seems to be heavily affected. To what extent is it affected? I didn't ask carefully. Because I'm very busy. I was busy learning how to manage business, learning how to treat people that my brother never taught me and my aunt An. But today, my aunt came looking for me again.

"In three days, it's the birthday party for Mrs. Thoi's family. She invited me to take you with her."

My lady. Thoi Tung's aunt. Aunt An must have known the problems between me and Thoi Tung, so she didn't force me.

“If you don't want to go, don't go.”

I shook my head: "Let's go." I don't want to make enemies with anyone, nor do I want Aunt An to be in trouble because of me. Well, the lady had the intention of making friends, in this world, one more friend is always better than one more enemy.

On the day of going to the party, Tham Mac had a reception and couldn't go with him. My aunt An and I arrived at noon. It was a very normal birthday party. Dining, drinking parties, socializing. What was unusual was that the older sister was also there. After eating, when I moved to the banquet hall, I followed Aunt An to go out, but my sister immediately followed and pulled me back.

“Bai, can we talk for a moment?”

Auntie An stopped walking and looked at me. Mrs. Cui quickly smiled and advised: "Lady Shen, just let the two sisters talk. If there is any misunderstanding, just say it out loud." Aunt An used her eyes to confirm with me. Seeing me nod, she and Mrs. Thoi left. Everyone had dispersed, only the two of us remained, and my sister finally opened her mouth.

“Why, do you still blame me and my brother?”

Blame them? No wonder. Just— “Did you come today, just to ask this question?” She smiled bitterly, picked up two cups of tea on the table, and gave one to me.

“I came to apologize and advise you to go home.”

"Ca Tai, I know about you and Tham Mac, you and I both did too much. But it's been so long, we all hope you can come home. This cup of tea - I hope you can forgive me."

I shook my head, not accepting.

“That place is no longer my home.”

My sister is a person who can easily make others pity her. She clutched the hem of her dress, lowered her eyes, looking fragile and weak. Seems like he's trying to suppress his grief. After a while, she took a sip from a previous cup. Then he gave me the remaining cup.

“I don't want to go home, so... can I have some tea?”

“Let's just say I'm sorry.”

Look intently at her face. I suddenly realized that I never really understood her personality. Obviously we are blood sisters. If you can't do it to the person closest to you, then stop. Yet... did we have to go to this step? Originally, I was determined not to be sad anymore. But I really couldn't hold back. Can't really find the answer either. Look at her earnest eyes. Finally, I took the cup of tea and tilted my head back to drink.

“Okay.”

I feel a bit dizzy. Return to the previous position, sit silently for a moment, then completely collapse on the table. My sister took gentle steps forward and called out to me: "Why?" Seeing my eyes closed, calling several times but no response. She immediately helped me up.

"Because, are you feeling unwell? There is a room upstairs, I'll take you up to rest."

She is not in good health. Sometimes when I walk in the wind, I cough a lot. I never expected her strength to be so great? Big to the point of supporting a "drunk and limp" person like me without even losing my rhythm. She helped me into the elevator, swiped my card and took me to the room. Laying me down neatly, she quickly left. I didn't "wake up" again. Continue closing your eyes. Sure enough, another set of footsteps quickly rang out. The door opened again.

“Why Why?”

The door closes. It's Thoi Tung. He stopped at the edge of the bed. It seemed like he was also holding his breath.

“Why Why?”

He called me one more time, his hot eyes fell on me. Then move a little closer, reach out your hand towards me. And I, right at the moment his hand was about to touch me, suddenly opened my eyes wide. Four eyes looked at each other. Thoi Tung's movements stiffened and stopped awkwardly.

“It turns out I'm still awake.”

I sat up.

“If I don't wake up, what are you going to do?”

“Listen to my sister and play tricks on me?”

Tui Tung's eyebrows immediately furrowed.

“How is that possible?”

He quickly argued back, "How could you do that despicable thing, moreover, Tinh Di is your sister, how could she let me do that?" He doesn't believe it. I'm also lazy to argue. I stood up, walked away from him, cautiously asked: "So what are you doing here?" As if stabbed by my cold tone, he was stunned. I was about to say it again a few times. He sighed: "These past few months, I've always thought, if I hadn't given that necklace that day, what would have happened?"

"Will you still stay with Tham Mac because you're angry? Will you and I ever get to the point where we don't see each other like we are now?"

"I thought for a long time, couldn't find an answer, and... I regretted it a bit."

He did not continue to say what he regretted. Staring into my eyes, as deep as the surface of a churning lake. It seemed like he wanted to find a glimmer of evidence on my face that I was forced.

“Because, do you really want to be with Tham Mac?”

"Originally, the person who married you was me. If you were just angry with me, I, I could..."

“It's not anger.”

I interrupted him. Last time he asked, I didn't have the strength to answer. This time, I looked straight into his eyes. Answer extremely seriously.

“I really like Tham Mac.”
