Chapter 17 — In Rebirth, My Sister Stole My Cold-Faced Husband

“Even uglier than the first child.”

“So it proves that I am very stable.”

“……this is not something to be proud of.”

I sat opposite him, holding a cup of cinnamon tea in my hand. Sunlight passed through the foliage and fell onto the table, creating streaks of light and dark. The little yellow cat——now a big yellow cat——lies at my feet, sleeping soundly. Thanh Hoa and Quy An were arguing at the front of the yard. The two of them just got married last month, and the frequency of arguing and the frequency of sweetness are equal. Her mother-in-law sat in the main hall drinking tea, occasionally poking her head out and calling out: "Lam Uyen, don't just worry about pasting paper tigers, your father told you to go clean up the weapon shelf in the study!"

“I know, mother!” He did not raise his head.

Three seconds later, he whispered to me again: "I won't clean up, let Quy An go."

“It's your job to do yourself.”

"I'm doing more important things! Sticking tigers for my lady!"

I used the teacup lid to knock on him. He retracted his neck and continued to stick his tiger.

“Ah yes.” He suddenly remembered something, took out a piece of paper from his chest and placed it on the table.

Let's open it and see. It's a picture. On the painting there are two small people holding hands——still as shaky as before. But on this year's picture, besides the two small people, there is also an even smaller person.

"I. She. And——" He coughed, his eyes lit up surprisingly, "the next one will have one."

I was stunned. He looked at my reaction and nervously rubbed his hands.

“Is……is it too early? No rush, I'll just draw first——”

“Not soon.”

He was stunned.

“I said no too early.” I put down the tea cup, "Ta Lam Uyen, are you crazy about wanting to be your father?"

“No no! I just——are you serious? What do you mean——”

I took out a towel from my sleeve and opened it. Inside was a prescription for antenatal medicine given by a doctor. Just finished the examination this morning.

“It's been two months.”

The paper tiger in Ta Lam Uyen's hand fell to the ground. He opened his mouth wide, stunned for five seconds. Then he made an "ah" sound, so loud that the entire Marquis of Vu An's palace heard it.

“I'm about to do… Father…!!!”

Quy An carried a cup of tea from the corner and rushed out: "What's wrong?" Thanh Hoa followed closely behind: "What happened?" The husband's mother ran out from the main hall: "What's wrong? Is the enemy training?" The monkey rushed out from the study room with a sword: "Who doesn't have eyes—" Ta Lam Uyen picked me up—then immediately gently put me down.

“Can't hug can't hug——sorry, you're two people now.”

“Calm down a bit!”

“I can't calm down!” He walked around me twice, then squatted down and spoke to my stomach.

“Bao, hello, I'm your father.”

“……Ta Lam Uyen, can you——”

"Your father is very good at fighting. He will teach you later. But you must not bully your mother, your mother is the most powerful."

I raised my hand to knock him on the head. He looked up, smiling like a child. At that moment, the sunlight was just right. The scent of cinnamon flowers spreads throughout the yard. I remember when I died in my previous life, the last thing I saw was the cold beams of the house. And now, I see his smile. He sat in front of me, his whole body seemed to glow. I reached out my hand and stroked his hair.

“Ta Lam Uyen.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you for what?”

“Thank you for coming to marry me.”

He stood up and placed a kiss on my forehead.

"Nothing." His voice carried laughter, contentment, and certainty for four years I have never regretted it.

“I, Ta Lam Uyen, made the best decision in this life——”

"That was the day when I stood in front of the Tham residence and held up that paper tiger."

The big yellow cat in the yard stretched and turned over on its belly. The wind blew and cinnamon flowers fell all over the ground. (END OF FULL TEXT)
