Chapter 357: Let Me Think About It Again
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
If Qin Zhenzhen had truthfully told the magistrate’s wife that she and Su Bin shared a room, it could have spelled serious trouble. It was highly likely that the lascivious Crown Prince would immediately feign illness and devise a scheme to lure Qin Zhenzhen back to the capital.
However, a different predicament still loomed ahead.
Qin Zhenzhen didn’t dwell on it too much and responded calmly, “Don’t fret about that. Extracting information from me isn’t that simple.”
This incident had taught Qin Zhenzhen that despite these women appearing gentle and delicate, they were anything but simple. Fortunately, she wasn’t a n?IVe girl who would divulge that she had consummated her marriage with Su Bin.
Su Bin nonchalantly reminded her, “But you did reveal one secret. We won’t be having children anytime soon.”
It was only then that Qin Zhenzhen realized that the lecherous Crown Prince wouldn’t care whether she was a virgin or not. As long as she remained childless, he would continue to harbor intentions toward her.
In essence, she had been outwitted by the magistrate’s wife.
Nevertheless, even if she had said nothing about contraception, the outcome might have been the same. In any case, the absence of children presented its own set of problems.
Qin Zhenzhen had a throbbing headache. contemporary romance
It wasn’t feasible for her to bear a child with Su Bin in such a short span. However, they needed to find a solution at this point.
Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but glance at Su Bin. “How do you propose we handle this situation?”
Su Bin had an idea. “One option is to feign pregnancy.”
“And?”
“Then we pretend to have an accident, and then the child is gone.”
Qin Zhenzhen was silent for a long time.
Pretending to be pregnant seemed like a viable solution, but it was clear that this method couldn’t be used repeatedly. Furthermore, Qin Zhenzhen had just informed the magistrate’s wife that they were using contraception, so if they suddenly had a child, it might raise suspicions. There was the risk that they would doubt the authenticity of the pregnancy and even suspect Su Bin, potentially exposing the secrets he was concealing.
As the Crown Prince, even if he had lost his virility, those around him were unlikely to be inept. If they investigated Su Bin due to suspicions surrounding this matter, it wouldn’t be impossible for them to uncover some traces of his intelligence network.
Su Bin ventured quietly, “Do you think it might seem suspicious if we feign a pregnancy and then a sudden ‘accident!?”
“Actually, I’m not entirely convinced it’s a good idea either. What if we—”
Qin Zhenzhen felt a bit uneasy. “What do you have in mind?”
Was Su Bin taking this opportunity to suggest that they should expedite their attempts to have a child? She hadn’t fully thought this through!
Su Bin responded, “We could avoid going to the capital in the future. I won’t participate in the capital examination either.”
“We could move back to the countryside or reside in Meijiang Prefecture City.”
“I don’t believe that the wretched Crown Prince can track us down if we live a secluded life in the countryside.”
Qin Zhenzhen gazed at Su Bin in astonishment. “Are you serious?”
Su Bin nodded resolutely. “Yes, I genuinely believe it’s the best course of action.”
“What about your aspiration to make a name on the Golden List and honor your father’s legacy?”
Su Bin spoke calmly, “People’s priorities can shift. I believe this is the most prudent way to avoid a direct confrontation with the Crown Prince.”
Qin Zhenzhen’s emotions were in turmoil.
Was Su Bin genuinely willing to forgo the opportunity to achieve recognition on the Golden List for her?
Why couldn’t she take that next step with Su Bin?
However, even if she were willing to take that step, was it appropriate to have a child at the age of 15 or 16?
Perhaps waiting for at least another year would be a wiser choice!
That despicable Crown Prince! Qin Zhenzhen sighed and said, “Let me reconsider this.”
“Let’s get some rest for now..”
