“And?”
Qin Zhenzhen found herself surprised by Su Bin’s impressive knowledge, yet she refrained from doubting his words. Their close association with individuals close to the Empress Dowager certainly made it easier to manipulate circumstances within the Heaven Prison.
“Well, I’ve been eagerly awaiting updates,” Su Bin stated with a slightly irreverent tone and a mischievous smile, causing Qin Zhenzhen’s cheeks to flush. It was apparent that Su Bin was indulging in some playful flirtation with her.
Uncertainty clouded her mind. She couldn’t decipher if Su Bin’s intentions were purely for amusement or if he genuinely desired a deeper connection. If Su Bin made the first move, should she reciprocate?
Her emotions were in disarray, and Su Bin’s increasingly attractive appearance had disrupted her original goal of accumulating wealth to become the wealthiest individual. Without even realizing it, she let out a dismissive “tsk” in her tone towards Su Bin.
But Su Bin swiftly responded earnestly, “I’m just used to it. Habits can be quite formidable, and I mentioned it casually.”
Qin Zhenzhen decided not to delve further into the topic of habits with Su Bin. She understood that she couldn’t outwit him, so she relented. If he preferred things this way, so be it.
As Qin Zhenzhen reflected on how Su Bin had publicly embraced her earlier, she still felt a trace of anger. “Tell me, why did you think we needed to put on a show in front of the old eunuch earlier?”
Su Bin’s eyes betrayed a hint of concern as he posed a question, “If the emperor were to take an interest in you, would you be willing to stay in the palace?”
Qin Zhenzhen shot him a piercing glare. “Are you speaking nonsense? If I had any intention of entering the palace willingly, why would I be negotiating with you for a staged act?”
Su Bin countered, “But the circumstances have changed. Back then, if you entered the palace, you’d have been treated as a plaything by the Jiang family, merely a pawn to be presented to the emperor.”
“Now, if you decide to stay in the palace as a legitimate concubine, there are no restrictions preventing you from having children. Besides, you would undoubtedly receive the emperor’s favor…”
“Su Bin, enough!” Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t tolerate it any longer.
“I want to know if you have some secret information, if you know something I don’t, but all you’re doing is blathering nonsense!”
“I’ll make it crystal clear to you once more, no matter what means I employ to stay in the palace, I’m not interested!”
“I cherish the vast world beyond the palace walls. I enjoy earning my own income. I savor a life free of constraints and full of joy!”
“My mind will never waver.”
“I refuse to relegate myself to the palace’s inner circle, squabbling over a man with other women, regardless of who that man may be!”
Towards the end, Qin Zhenzhen’s emotions were running high.
It was as if she were laying her cards on the table for Su Bin. If he genuinely wanted to pursue a relationship with her, he needed to understand that his affection should be reserved solely for her. Otherwise, he would be wasting his efforts and would ultimately jeopardize their harmony. contemporary romance
Su Bin naturally comprehended Qin Zhenzhen’s sentiments.
He contemplated her words and realized that her perspective was entirely valid.
As a man from ancient times, he was well aware that having multiple wives and concubines was socially accepted. However, since discovering the story of his father abandoning his family, he had grown averse to such half-hearted commitments.
If a man truly loved one woman, how could he allow a situation where a concubine schemed against the primary wife, leading to the main wife’s child being cast aside?
This was precisely why Su Bin held a strong grudge against his former brother-in-law, Wang Yizhi.
Even though his sister was now leading a content life, Su Bin had no intentions of forgiving Wang Yizhi. If he didn’t exact revenge, he would never find peace..
