Chapter 9 — Prosperity Three Jewels

I raised my head, my eyes were red, I looked extremely aggrieved.

“I didn't… I really didn't betray Tinh Chau…”

“So what is the baby in your belly?” Bach Mong Dao pressed. "Miss On, don't tell us this baby belongs to Mr. Thinh Chau. That's a big joke!"

Every sentence she said was like pouring salt on my wound. I know she intentionally stimulated me, wanting me to lose face. I bit my lower lip tightly, tears welled up in my eyes but I didn't let them fall. That both tough and helpless appearance made Bach Mong Dao even more happy. That was the result she wanted. She wants everyone to know that On Nhuyen is a woman who does not keep her morality as a wife. She wants Tham Thinh Chau to become the laughingstock of the entire Van city. A person with a horned head must also raise other people's children. Trieu Hue Phuong chimed in.

"That's right! Up to now she still refuses to admit it, and even wants to trick Thinh Chau into saying the hospital misdiagnosed her! How funny!"

“Misdiagnosis?” Bach Mong Dao laughed loudly as if hearing the most ridiculous story.

"Aunt Trieu, don't be fooled by her. Mr. Thinh Chau's illness that year was diagnosed by Professor Truong Khai Minh of the city hospital. He is the leading expert in the country. How could it be misdiagnosed?"

She intentionally mentioned Truong Khai Minh to block the way back. She was sure we couldn't find her. She wanted to see with her own eyes how we struggled in the lies she weaved, doubted each other, and eventually broke up. Trieu Hue Phuong nodded.

"That's right! Aunt Thinh Chau is too honest to be deceived so miserably by this woman!"

“Aunt Trieu, don't be too angry.” Bach Mong Dao pretended to be kind and comfort her. "In my opinion, this matter should be handled as soon as possible. Quickly let Ms. On and Mr. Thinh Chau divorce, avoid a long night with many dreams."

Her eyes looked at me with fake pity.

"Miss Wen, don't blame Aunt Trieu for being cruel. After all, no wealthy family would accept a daughter-in-law doing something that would ruin family traditions like that."

"You're still young, in the future... take care of yourself."

That look of claiming to be the mistress is truly nauseating. At this moment, footsteps were heard on the stairs. Tham Thinh Chau went down. He changed into his home clothes, looking more gentle. But in those deep eyes was cold as ice.

“Our house is really bustling today.” he said leisurely.

“Mr. Thinh Chau!” When Bach Mong Dao saw him, she immediately stood up, a shy and happy smile on her face.

She quickly walked in front of him, looking up at him with admiration.

“I heard that Aunt Trieu was in a bad mood, so she specially came to visit.”

Tham Thinh Chau's eyes just glanced at her face and then left. As if she were just an unimportant stranger. He walked straight to me and naturally hugged me.

“Why is your face so unsightly?” He frowned, using the back of his hand to gently touch my forehead. “Are you unwell?”

His intimate action made Bach Mong Dao's face immediately stiffen. Trieu Hue Phuong also couldn't stand it.

"What's wrong with him? I see he has a devil in his heart!"

Tham Thinh Chau didn't pay attention to Trieu Hue Phuong, just looked at me gently.

"I'll take you back to your room to rest."

Bach Mong Dao found herself completely ignored, feeling both jealous and resentful. Miss I gritted my teeth and said.

“Mr. Thinh Chau, stop fooling yourself!”

“On Nhuyen, she…”

“My wife's name is On Nhuyen.” Tham Thinh Chau coldly interrupted, his voice full of warning. “Miss Bach, we don't seem to be close enough for you to call her by name.”

Bach Mong Dao's face was sometimes blue, sometimes white. She didn't expect that Tham Thinh Chau would still protect that woman at this time! She is not willing! Today she came to see the couple turn their faces, to see On Nhuyen being kicked out of the house! How could such a result be possible! She took a deep breath, tried to suppress her anger, pretending to be heartbroken.

"Mr. Thinh Chau, I know you feel very uncomfortable in your heart so you don't want to accept the truth."

“But the truth is before your eyes, she is pregnant with someone else's child, she betrayed you!”

"Why are you still protecting her? She's not worth it!"

Tham Thinh Chau finally looked straight at her. His eyes were cold as ice.

"Whether it's worth it or not is not Ms. Bach's turn to judge."

“My wife, I know it myself.”

His eyes fell on my stomach, immediately becoming infinitely gentle.

“Furthermore…”

He stopped, the corner of his lips curved into a meaningful smile.

“Who told you she was pregnant with someone else's child?”

Tham Nhinh Chau's words were like a heavy bomb exploding in the living room. Everyone was stunned. Bach Mong Dao's face lost all color in an instant. She looked at Tham Thinh Chau in disbelief, her voice trembling.

“What… what do you mean?”

Trieu Hue Phuong was also bewildered.

“Thin Chau, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Tham Thinh Chau did not answer them, just bowed his head and looked at me gently.

“Nhuye Nhuyen, tell them.”

I understand. The big play is about to begin. I raised my head, looked straight into Bach Mong Dao's panicked eyes, and deliberately smiled, both proud and provocative.

“It means that the baby in my belly is Tinh Chau's child.”

"We're about to have a baby, and we'll have three."

Boom. Bach Mong Dao only felt her mind go blank, her body wobbling and almost unable to stand. No way. Absolutely impossible! Tham Thinh Chau is clearly... clearly starless! That was a plan she arranged herself! How can you have children?!

“You lie!”

She lost control and screamed.

"No way! Tham Thinh Chau simply can't..."

Speaking here, she suddenly realized that she had spoken out loud and immediately bit her lip and refused to continue speaking. But it was too late. The eyes of everyone in the living room simultaneously turned towards her. Tham Quoc Dao's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, filled with scrutiny. The corner of Tham Thinh Chau's lips curled up into a cold smile.

“Oh?”

"It seems Ms. Bach understands my physical condition very well."

"I'm really curious, how do you know that I 'can't'?"

Bach Mong Dao's face immediately turned white as paper. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. She's panicked.
