Chapter 5 — My Husband Can't, But I'm Pregnant

“Tong Hac Than.” My hand stopped. This name... sounds a bit familiar, I think I've heard it somewhere before. It's probably just a common name, maybe I've heard someone mention it at some tavern or tea house. He tilted his head to look at me, his eyes carrying a trace of scrutiny: "What's your name?" I smoothed my long, messy hair and smiled lazily: "You can call me little heart, little treasure, little sweetie... When I go out for a walk, my name is just a title." "If you must call me..." I stopped, still softening for a moment. "Then call me Chi Chi." That's my maiden name. Besides Sister A, her parents, and her aunt, no one else has ever called her like that. After listening, Tong Hac Than did not say anything more, just looked at me with deep eyes. I stood up and got dressed, and before leaving, I turned around to take a look. It's pretty good, I can eat so much that I'm not hungry for three days. Return to the palace. I just rubbed my tired waist and walked through the hospital gate when I saw Ta Tinh Chi standing in the hallway, looking haggard and impatient. Seeing me return, he immediately walked quickly. "Where are you going?" I replied: "Looking for the child." His throat moved slightly, and a slightly guilty look appeared in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he suddenly turned around, closed the door, and raised his hand to untie his coat. I immediately took a step back, terrified: "What are you planning to do?!" Ta Tinh Chi gritted his teeth and said sincerely: "It's all my fault... If it weren't for my carelessness, Thinh Nhi wouldn't have been taken away by someone." "I'm willing... I'm willing to compensate you for a child." Me: ??? I looked at his half-unleashed coat, then looked at that face full of heroic sacrifice, and immediately turned around to open the door. "Ta Tinh Chi, didn't we make it clear that we were just acting? You don't need to sacrifice yourself. With your mind, what should you do if a child is born like you?" heart, shouted loudly: "Khuong Thanh Loan, do you criticize me? I don't even want you!"...11I continuously went to Tong Hac Than for three months. He is not only self-aware but extremely self-aware. Every time I come, I see him with his solid upper body bare, standing in the yard lifting a large rock. Sweat flowed down the grooves on my back, glistening in the sunlight, making my heart numb. After each session, he not only prepared hot water to bathe me, but also did not mind any trouble, squeezed my shoulders and punched my feet, and was truly willing to be my buffalo and horse. Seeing him so alert, I immediately came up with the idea of keeping him safe for a long time. I also don't know how much silver Sister A gave him in the beginning, whether the money in my own hand is enough to cover him or not. If it's really too expensive... then so be it. After all, there are countless men in the world, Khuong Thanh Loan, it's not like I can't live without anyone. I originally intended to go to sister A to ask for the price, but who would have thought that Tong Hac Than would disappear one step ahead. The house is empty and the room is tidied up. On the table there was a letter pressed under a shiny engagement ring. Opening the letter, I saw written on it in strong and sturdy handwriting: 【Chi Chi, the love of that day, Tong kept engraved in the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for her help, I would have long been poisoned by the ancient poison and lost my life in the yellow spring. When the matter here is over, I will definitely use a large palanquin with eight people to carry it to the door to pray for marriage.】 I was so scared that my fingertips trembled, and the paper immediately fell from my hand. Who needs him to pray for marriage?! I just want to taste some sweetness and comfort myself, I don't intend to hold him responsible! It turns out that he was initially poisoned, so was sister A brought him to serve me? I told you so, dear

With such a tall figure and a proud demeanor, every gesture carries a noble aura, how could he be willing to lower himself to serve me? It turns out Sister A conveniently picked up an existing bargain and gave it to me. After Tong Hac Than left, life suddenly became empty. I sit in the yard basking in the sun, always feeling like something is missing. Ta Tinh Chi saw that I was no longer running out every day to look for my child, so he proactively approached me, his expression filled with grace, saying that if I wanted to have a child, I could find him at any time. I rolled my eyes, too lazy to pay attention to him. His face stiffened, his shame turned to anger, and he scolded me for not knowing good or bad. …12That day, I had just returned from my mother's house after visiting my newborn brother. The little guy is lively and adorable, his black eyes dart back and forth, he smiles at everyone he meets, his soft little hand holds my finger tightly and refuses to let go. People all praised my father for still being strong in his old age, being over fifty and still giving birth to a son, and congratulatory cards filled the table. The lady and her aunt both loved Thinh Nhi very much, raising the white, chubby, round boy. Compared to his skinny appearance three months ago, he really seemed to have changed into a different child. Even if they carry it out now, no one will recognize that this is the baby who was snatched from the Marquis Palace at that time.
