Qin Zhenzhen found herself taken aback by Su Bin’s earnest promise.
Could he really mean it?
Yet, it was far too soon for Qin Zhenzhen to commit to such a profound relationship. She hadn’t confirmed if Su Bin was the only person in her life.
Swiftly, she formulated a response. “We can discuss this when our hearts race and our breath quickens just from being near each other!”
To her surprise, Su Bin readily agreed. “Alright.”

With that, Su Bin fetched a blanket and headed for the study, declaring, “I need some time to collect my thoughts.”
Once Su Bin had departed, Qin Zhenzhen let out a relieved sigh. She glanced at herself in the mirror and noticed her flushed complexion, extending to the back of her ears.
Seemingly, her attempt to appear composed had failed, and Su Bin had likely seen through her facade.
Lying in bed, Qin Zhenzhen found herself unable to sleep for a long while. It was as if she were replaying a movie in her mind, revisiting the moments of her interaction with Su Bin since her transmigration.
Initially, Su Bin’s perspective as a potential villain had been slightly skewed due to his impending descent into evil.
The first time she had laid eyes on him, she had been captivated by his handsome countenance, even though he had looked at her with hostility.
However, their relationship had gradually thawed over time. He had eventually set aside his animosity towards her, expressing gratitude for her invaluable assistance.
His gaze towards her had evolved, diverging from its initial antagonistic intensity. He had grown accustomed to calling her “wife” and even ventured into playful teasing.
He had gone to great lengths, even feigning cooperation with the Old Marquis to secure a substantial sum of capital for her.
He had willingly placed his life on the line to confront both the Jiang family and the royal family on her behalf.
Even before he voiced his confession, he had already regarded her as family and intertwined his destiny with hers.
Qin Zhenzhen now found herself compelled to contemplate the trajectory of her relationship with Su Bin.
Su Bin clutched the blanket and settled into the study, but sleep eluded him. His thoughts played out like a movie, recalling the moments when his perception of Qin Zhenzhen had undergone significant transformations.
The first shift occurred when he noticed a change in her behavior after she returned from her kowtowing ceremony. Despite the surprise in her eyes, she refrained from her usual impulsive approach.
She didn’t vent her frustrations as she typically did. Instead, she earnestly tried to mediate the feud between her brother and his.
In that moment, he had harbored intense animosity towards her, wanting to throttle her. She had come to him and proposed that he leave, almost as if she grasped his intentions, but she maintained a composed demeanor.
She even mentioned that once he successfully attained the title of Cultivated Talent, he could present her with a divorce letter.
The second turning point came when their uncle aimed to sell their family’s land. Not only did she safeguard the property deed, but she also shielded his younger siblings from hunger and mistreatment. To prevent him from using her jade pendant as collateral, she insisted on a fair split, even though she had earned it herself.
During this time, his resentment towards her began to wane.
The third instance occurred when she intervened to secure his eligibility for the Imperial Examination. After that incident, gratitude overshadowed his prior hatred, as he perceived her past humiliations as somewhat offset.
The fourth occasion took place when she brought his fourth brother to rescue his sister, expertly handling Wang Yi’s taunts and securing 100 liang as compensation with just a few words.
In that moment, he admitted that she was their family’s lucky star. He yearned to comprehend her better, and for the first time, the notion of spending the rest of his life with her flickered in his mind.
However, she mentioned that all her efforts for their family amounted to a demand for a divorce letter..
