Chapter 8 — Going Through Mistakes To Stay Together

10 At that moment, my brother was like a child abandoned on the street, both helpless and scared. I cannot accept that a brother who was once like a god in my eyes would stoop so lowly. My heart ached, the self-pity that had accumulated all day finally burst, I burst into tears: "I don't want to leave you either, all my life I just want to stick to you, even if I become a ghost I don't want to let you go. But we are siblings, why, why are we siblings...huhuhu..." I squatted down, buried my head in the pillow and cried. Yet he paused for a second, as if light penetrated through the clouds, as if he had found a way out of the abyss. He quickly lifted my head from his arms and urgently asked: "Who told you we are siblings?" I sobbed and replied: "This afternoon... uh... I saw... my parents..." I told him everything that happened yesterday afternoon. His tense face gradually relaxed, then smiled brightly as if he had survived an accident, filled with satisfaction and joy.

“My Tieu Dieu, is mine!” He hugged me tightly, I tried to stay calm and struggled in his arms.

“Let me go! I'm your sister!”

My life is over, my life is over, my brother has been unlocked the tyrannical dictator mode, is he really going to play the game of forced love? He burst out laughing: "So stupid, we are not related by blood at all!" What? I raised my head quickly, my expectant eyes imprinted in his eyes. He bowed his head, gently kissed my forehead, then slowly told the story. It turns out that ten years ago, he knew that I was not his biological sister. He sent someone to secretly investigate the switched child, but because of the wrong direction of investigation, the clues were cut off many times. Who would have thought that my parents would be so incompetent that they could not even distinguish the gender of their child. Later, when he found Giang Dich, after many verifications, he was finally sure that he was the lost biological son of the Van family. I was still confused: "But... why is he the same age as me?"

“It's just an ironic fate.” He sighed, "Jiang Di was lost when he was two years old, sold by human traffickers twice, no one knows the exact year of his birth. The date on the ID card is just a coincidence, coincidentally the same as him."

What a coincidence! I gasped in surprise. He extended his long finger and gently closed my mouth. I swallowed my saliva and mumbled: "But... his face looks a bit old." He smiled: "It's a bit true." Giang Dich suffered a lot, so my brother always tried to make up for it, even wanting to hand over the entire Van family to him. But later... I fell into his arms, my finger drawing circles on his chest, my voice sad: "If you knew I was the one swapped with Giang Dich, why didn't you say it clearly on that engagement night?" He lowered his head and lifted my face. Seeing that I wasn't angry, he replied: "Because I don't want you to be sad. I'm afraid you'll be heartbroken when you know you're not your parents' biological child." He didn't say anything, but in those eyes filled with love, I understood everything. He didn't want me to be labeled as an impostor and then torn apart by the media, so he shouldered everything alone. My eyes are red, tears want to fall again.

“You crybaby!” He pinched my nose and teased: "Knew about me early It's not like your biological brother makes you this happy, I should have told you when you were an adult."

Why wait until adulthood? I immediately understood, tightened my fist and lightly punched his chest, but he grabbed me tightly. The feelings were clear, why couldn't I see the wave of emotions in his eyes? But— I had to mention someone else: “Well, I have to meet the founder of Tieu Dao later, tonight… can we sleep peacefully?” I avoided eye contact, no matter how peaceful the harem was, the palace still had to handle the court affairs properly, and also had to marry the person he loved to be his son-in-law. But he leaned in my ear and whispered a few words, shocking me to the point that I opened my mouth again, and this time, he didn't let me say anything else but directly covered my mouth with a kiss. Three months later, the news of founder Tieu Dao marrying the Van family dominated the front page of every newspaper. The proposal went extremely smoothly.

“You can marry me if you want, but first you have to deal with the 'spy' you planted next to me.”

I'm an adult and my brother follows me wherever I go, so I don't need dignity, right?

“The location device is not to monitor you but to ensure your safety. If you think it's unfair, you can check my whereabouts at any time."

He picked up the phone and I pressed a few buttons: "There, now I also have your 'spy' on me." Okay, even marriage couldn't threaten my brother into giving in. Not only that, he also reached out to ask for his supplementary card back. What a disgusting man... I gritted my teeth. If you want it, just take it, who wants to keep it? I angrily slapped the card into his hand. He took it, then took out another card from his pocket.

“Here is the main card, give it to me. You can use the supplementary card later.” He smiled gently, "So everything I buy, you can see the transaction history."

I rolled my eyes, so wouldn't I become an instant billionaire? I took the card, threw myself into his arms, held the card to my chest: "Okay, seeing how sincere you are, this princess has to reluctantly accept it!" Outside the window, the light wind gently shook the tops of the trees. From now on, May will be peaceful. (End of story).
