Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Bin couldn’t resist teasing her. “A bold little girl who not only dares to marry a man but also asks to share a room with him!”
Qin Zhenzhen blushed again.
She retained the original host’s memory. On their wedding night, Su Bin went to the study to sleep, and the original host followed, trying to persuade Su Bin to sleep with her.
Su Bin wasn’t as forceful as the original host, and he almost got dragged into the room.
Infuriated, Su Bin cut off the original host’s sleeves and threatened that if she tried to drag him into the room again, he would kill her before committing suicide.
Only then did the original host let him go.
Qin Zhenzhen wasn’t to blame, but she couldn’t explain herself. She had no choice but to say, “I was too foolish back then!”
Curious, Su Bin asked, “What do you mean?”
“It’s just a metaphor. I mean that people blinded by love can act foolishly.”
Su Bin laughed. “Oh, so you think there’s no water in your head? Where did it all go?”
Qin Zhenzhen suddenly thought of an internet term and glared at him. “I’ve been ‘cleared away by the sun,’ of course! Anyway, let’s not dwell on the past. I’ve become wiser now! ”
“Oh, I see!”
However, Su Bin didn’t continue; instead, he changed the topic.
“I am here to discuss something with you,” he said.
Su Bin’s demeanor turned serious, and he gazed at Qin Zhenzhen without moving, as though trying to read her thoughts.
“What is it that you want to talk about?” Qin Zhenzhen asked, taking a chair and sitting down, maintaining a distance of ten feet from Su Bin. She subtly lowered her head, feeling uneasy under his sharp gaze, fearing she might inadvertently reveal something.
“As long as we venture outside, there always seem to be people observing us. I wonder if they are targeting you or me,” Su Bin said thoughtfully.contemporary romance
Qin Zhenzhen replied, “I already warned you not to go out these days, whether they have a grudge against you or me.”
Su Bin reassured her, “Regardless of their arrogance, they wouldn’t dare to make a move within these walls. Besides, the governor has even stationed guards here.”
“Please don’t worry; I will ensure nothing happens before the examination.”
Su Bin frowned. “But we can’t just keep hiding like this.”
Qin Zhenzhen turned to him. “What do you have in mind?”
She had already thought of a way. She had written the story of Su Bin’s father in the form of a book, replacing the Marquis’ Mansion with a wealthy businessman and altering the names and plot details. In the new version, the protagonist was depicted as a young master who faced mistreatment from his stepmother and had no choice but to leave home.
Secretly, she had asked her Fourth Brother to find a skilled storyteller who would narrate this revised tale at the teahouses in the prefecture, starting tomorrow. However, she had not revealed this plan to Su Bin.
Unaware of her efforts, Su Bin revealed his own idea. “I’ve documented the story you told me last time. I want your Fourth Brother to find some storytellers at the tea houses.”
Qin Zhenzhen looked at Su Bin in surprise. “Do you think that will be effective? Do you truly believe that the main character in the story is your father?”
Su Bin suddenly sneered. “If you think it’s futile, then why did you ask your Fourth Brother to find the storytellers in the first place?”
She was hiding something from him.
Caught off guard, Qin Zhenzhen stood up. “What are you talking about?” Su Bin’s face sank.
“I have already noticed what you and your Fourth Brother did. Actually, you have already written the story, and your Fourth Brother has already gone to the storyteller!”
“You…” Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t believe that her secret with her Fourth Brother would be discovered by Su Bin.
She wanted to defend herself, but she felt that it was meaningless.
But she did not know how to explain that to Su Bin..
