Chapter 7 — On the Day of Judgment, I Jumped into the Lake to Escape the Tribulation

So Hanh probably arrived at the door after half a month. That day at sunset, I returned from outside. From afar, I saw a horse-drawn carriage stopping in front of the courtyard, and a few families outside stood guard. My heart suddenly sank, I immediately quickened my pace, pushed the door open and entered. In the yard, So Hanh was standing there. Seeing me return, the corner of his lips curled up into a strange smile.

“Tham Lan Tri,” he said, “you refuse to see me, so I can only come here myself.”

"I already told my father, I want to marry you. Not as a concubine, but as a proper marriage, making you my first wife."

I almost thought I heard wrong. In my previous life, he saw me as a toy to be trampled on at will. In this life, he actually said he wanted to marry me as his first wife?

“You are crazy.”

I spoke coldly.

“I'm not crazy.”

He stepped forward, reaching out to touch my face, but I tilted my head to avoid him.

"I have thought very carefully. In our previous life, the misunderstanding between us was too deep. In this life, it would be better if we started over again."

“You are dreaming.”

I turned around to run out. But So Hanh's movements are much faster than mine. He reached out and squeezed the back of my neck, with his other hand covering my mouth and nose. A sickly sweet scent immediately entered my nostrils, and I desperately struggled to resist.

“Stop struggling.”

So Hanh's voice rang in my ears, cold as a poisonous snake.

"Wait until the rice has been cooked, do you think the God King still wants you? At that time, other than marrying me, you will have no second choice."

The medicinal properties work extremely quickly. My legs began to weaken, and the scene before my eyes gradually became blurry. We can't do that. In my previous life, I fell down because of this medicine once. In this life, we absolutely cannot step on the same mistakes again. So Hanh forced me to sit down on a chair and looked down at me from above.

"Do you think that by clinging to the God King you can escape me? You are too naive."

My whole body is hot, my consciousness is constantly struggling on the brink of collapse. So Hanh's face in front of him gradually overlapped with his face in his previous life. The face that during countless long nights, I wished I could tear it apart with my own hands. I used all my last strength, took out an object from my sleeve, and clasped it tightly in my palm.

“Do you really think I won't prepare anything?”

So Hanh lowered his head and looked down, his face immediately changed drastically. It's a dagger. It's something my sister gave me to protect myself. Since the first day I moved into this small hospital, I have always carried it with me, even when sleeping, I have never left it. I put the knife to my neck. The tip of the knife had broken the flesh, blood flowed down the blade drop by drop.

“You dare?!”

So Hanh reached out to grab it. Right at that moment, I heard a loud noise behind me. The yard door was kicked open with a kick. A series of rapid footsteps rang out. Everyone fell into a warm embrace. I tried to open my eyes and saw Tieu Ky An's face right in front of me. His voice was cold to the bone, carrying sky-high anger.

“You want to die.”

So Hanh was kicked by him and flew far away, emitting a sound groaning in pain, clutching his chest and coughing for a long time before reluctantly regaining his breath. He raised his head, looked at me lying in Tieu Ky An's arms, the corners of his lips slowly curved into a smile.

“Does the prince really think she is some kind of good woman?”

So Hanh spoke up, his voice hoarse.

"In your previous life, you were my woman, and in this life, you are still the same. Is there any part of your body that I have never seen before? When you cried and begged under me, what sound did you make? Have you ever heard it?"

“Shut up.”

Tieu Ky An said coldly.

“When she lay under me crying——”

Tieu Ky An's punch fiercely hit So Hanh in the face. The corner of So Hanh's mouth was immediately torn, blood dripped onto the ground from his chin. Tieu Ky An did not stop. So Hanh was beaten so much that he crouched on the ground, not even having a chance to fight back.
