Chapter 5 — Reborn On The Night Of Fraud

Khuong Mien Mien smiled: "Then I'll go, I'll come back later tonight." As soon as she turned around, Trinh Du grabbed her wrist and held her back.

“Khuong Mien Mien.” His voice was low, "If one day you find out, I'm not as good a person as you think..."

“Then I will turn you into a good person.” She winked and smiled mischievously.

Trinh Du was stunned, then let go, the corners of his lips curled slightly: "...Go home." Khuong Mien Mien happily hummed and sang on the way home, her heart was light.

— Trinh Du just smiled at her!

Even though it was just a glimpse, that was Trinh Du! The cold, heartless man from his previous life! She was still immersed in happiness when suddenly she was stopped.

“Yo, Mien Mien, are you going to visit that 'bourgeois kid' again?”

Vuong Kien Quan held a blade of grass in his mouth and stood in front of her, behind were still two henchmen. Khuong Mien Mien clenched her hands, her face unchanged: "Get away."

“What's the hurry?” Vuong Kien Quan came closer, smiling disgustingly, "You and that guy... are sleeping, right?"

“Get out!” Khuong Mien Mien was so angry that her face turned red.

“Pretend what?” Vuong Kien Quan raised his hand to touch her face, "If he can touch it, I—"

“Ah!!”

Before he could touch his hand, a thrown stone hit him painfully!

“Who is there?!” Vuong Kien Quan clasped his hands and shouted angrily.

Khuong Mien Mien turned around and saw that Trinh Du had been standing at the door of the buffalo barn for some time, his eyes cold and scary.

“Go away.” He only said one word.

Vuong Kien Quan's face changed, and finally he angrily threatened: "Just wait!" Then lead people away. Waiting for them to go away, Khuong Mien Mien breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Trinh Du: "Why are you out here? Be careful of the wound tearing!" Trinh Du did not answer, just stared at the direction Vuong Kien Quan left, his eyes were cold and chilling.

“Trinh Du?” Khuong Mien Mien raised her hand and waved in front of him.

He regained composure and lowered his head to look at her: "Don't go this way alone in the future."

“Are you worried about me?” She asked smilingly.

Trinh Du turned around: "...Don't be too sentimental." Khuong Mien Mien secretly smiled.

— Truly the type of man who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

At night, heavy rain came. Khuong Mien Mien was awakened by the sound of thunder and jumped up from the bed. Outside the door, thunder and lightning rumbled, and the rain lashed the roof endlessly.

"It's dead! Trinh Du's buffalo barn leaked!"

Without thinking too much, she grabbed her shirt and rushed out. The rain was so heavy that she staggered through puddles of water. By the time she reached the buffalo barn, she was soaking wet.

“Trinh Du!” She pushed the door open, it was dark inside, only a few water leaks were gathering in large puddles on the ground.

In the corner, Trinh Du curled up on a wooden board, seemingly sleeping. Khuong Mien Mien gently walked over. Just as she was about to call, she suddenly realized something was wrong - Trinh Du's face was red, she was breathing heavily, and her whole body was shaking non-stop.

“Trinh Du?!” She quickly reached out to touch his forehead — it was so hot it was scary!

"Um..." Trinh Du frowned in confusion, muttering something unclear.

Khuong Mien Mien leaned close to the earpiece, her whole body immediately felt cold —

“…Don't try to escape… The Khuong family… blood must be paid for with blood…”

That's... Trinh Du from his previous life is dreaming! Khuong Mien Mien stood frozen in place, her heart beating like a drum. In the dream... Trinh Du is planning revenge?! At this moment, Trinh Du suddenly opened his eyes! Those eyes were red, filled with murderous intent chillingly cold. Khuong Mien Mien took a step back in panic, her feet slipped off the floor, her whole body fell backwards—

“Be careful!”

Trinh Du quickly reached out to pull her back, but because of the high fever, his strength was weak, and she pulled him down with him!

“Um…”

Khuong Mien Mien moaned softly, realizing that she was being pressed by Trinh Du. The hot temperature on his body penetrated through the thin, wet shirt, making her heart beat faster.

"I..." Trinh Du's voice was hoarse, his eyes gradually became alert, "Why are you here?"

“You have a fever!” Khuong Mien Mien was so urgent that she was about to cry, "The fever must be brought down immediately!"

Trinh Du sat up with his hands and staggered to stand up, but fell on top of her again.

“Don't move!” Khuong Mien Mien gritted her teeth and supported him, "I'll take you to my house!"

"No..." Trinh Du gasped, "It would implicate me..."

“Shut up!” Khuong Mien Mien's eyes were red and she screamed, "If you say any more... I'll kiss you!"

Trinh Du was stunned. Khuong Mien Mien also froze.

— What did I just say?!

The air immediately froze. A second later, Trinh Du laughed softly, his voice as low as a breeze:

“…Should I try?”

Khuong Mien Mien: “…”

— This guy has a fever and still dares to tease her?!

She was both embarrassed and angry, and was about to retort when suddenly chaotic footsteps rang out outside!

“Hurry! That guy is definitely in here!”

It's the voice of Vuong Kien Quan! Khuong Mien Mien's face turned pale: "You're dead! They're coming to arrest you!" Trinh Du's eyes turned cold, he tried to stand up: "Go quickly."

“No way!” Khuong Mien Mien pulled him tightly, "With your current condition, you can't beat them!"

The sound of footsteps got closer and closer... In that moment, Khuong Mien Mien's eyes glanced at the pile of dry straw in the corner.

“Hide in there!” She lowered her voice, didn't have time to explain anything, immediately pushed Trinh Du into the pile of straw and pulled her shirt over her.

Just as I finished, the buffalo barn door was kicked open!

“Khuong Mien Mien?” Vuong Kien Quan held up the torch and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Khuong Mien Mien's heart was beating wildly, but her appearance still tried to stay calm:

“I… I came to get my stuff!”

“Get something?” Vuong Kien Quan glanced at her suspiciously, "Midnight, half day?"

“What does it have to do with you?” She deliberately raised her voice to hide her guilt, "On the contrary, why would you bring someone here?"

Vuong Kien Quan laughed coldly: "Caught a thief! Someone saw Trinh Du stealing rice from the production team!"

“Speak nonsense!” Khuong Mien Mien was so angry that she was shaking, "You people are blatantly slandering!"

“Yes or no, just check it out!” Vuong Kien Quan waved his hand, "Find me!"

A few henchmen immediately split up to search the buffalo barn. Khuong Mien Mien held her breath, her eyes unconsciously glanced towards the pile of straw. Don't be discovered... Suddenly one of them walked towards the pile of straw!

“Wait!” Khuong Mien Mien cried out in panic, then suddenly remembered something, "Vuong Kien Quan! If you dare touch that place, I will tell the whole village about you hiding to watch widow Liu bathe!"

Vuong Kien Quan's face changed: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

“Whether or not I said something wrong is clear in your heart!” Khuong Mien Mien put her hands on her hips and put on a desperate look, "Do you want me to go tell Mrs. Liu now?!"

Vuong Kien Quan's face turned pale, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

“…Withdraw!”

Wait for the sound The footsteps gradually moved away, Khuong Mien Mien's legs became weak and she sat down on the ground. The pile of straw moved slightly, Trinh Du crawled out with difficulty, his face even worse than before.

“You…” His voice was hoarse, “Why…”
