” SO…
Qin Zhenzhen saw that Su Bin was looking at her, so she stopped and felt a bit anxious.
He was not going to be easily manipulated. Also, he was a crazy villain.
But she had not expected that Su Bin would ask, “So what? You want to share the room with me before we divorce?”
That was what he really thought – he did not think that she would need to go into the palace after she lost her virginity.
He was thinking about whether he should say yes or no.
Qin Zhenzhen got so annoyed that she wanted to slap right on his face for saying so.
He was a scholar!
He was only 16 years old and he already wanted to sleep with a woman!
He must have misinterpreted her intention!
“What are you thinking?”
Are you dreaming?
“I just want to talk with you about whether we can stay together for the time being. Also, we can pretend to be in love in front of others, so everyone will think that we are sharing a room as a couple!”
“I have made up my mind. I am not going to hide my skills any more. I am going to appear in public so everyone knows me. In this way, the Jiang Family will never send me into the palace again!”
So that was what was going on. Su Bin could not help but want to laugh when he saw how furious Qin Zhenzhen was.
At this moment, he felt lucky that he could not divorce Qin Zhenzhen for the time being.
Qin Zhenzhen said that she did not want to go into the palace, which made Su Bin look at her differently.
It turned out that she wasn’t the superficial woman he initially assumed her to be, seeking a luxurious life. Her decision to marry him wasn’t driven by a desire for wealth through her husband.
Instead, she wanted to give their relationship a genuine chance to thrive and grow in the long term.
As their connection deepened, he realized he had fallen for her, and he was determined not to let her slip away, especially since she was the one who initiated their relationship.
However, he understood that he had to prove himself worthy of her affection by reaching the top of her priority list.
With Qin Zhenzhen’s numerous explanations, Su Bin’s resentment towards her had dissipated. In fact, he became more intrigued and eager to know her on a deeper level.
Considering this, Su Bin replied, “No problem.”
“You’ve been so helpful to me, and I’m more than willing to return the favor.
Whatever you need me to do to support you, I’ll gladly comply.”
At the end of the sentence, Su Bin’s tone had shifted, becoming less serious and somewhat mischievous, as if he were teasing her playfully. Qin Zhenzhen blushed in response to his playful demeanor.
“Thank you so much!” she replied with gratitude.
“Actually, we don’t really need to work too hard. Let’s just make it appear as if we’re a family!” she suggested, a bit flustered by her own idea.
After uttering this, Qin Zhenzhen quickly made her way out, feeling a bit embarrassed by her own audacity. She couldn’t help but reflect on the age gap between them – had she forgotten how young she used to be and how much older Su Bin was now?
She blushed even more, realizing that she was taken aback by a light-hearted joke from a young boy.
Observing Qin Zhenzhen’s retreat, Su Bin felt a sense of joy washing over him.
This chubby girl is so interesting.
He had initially perceived her as shameless, but now he saw her as someone who was sensitive to teasing.
She claimed not to have any feelings for him anymore, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being untruthful. Her recent blush suggested otherwise; if she truly didn’t like him, such a reaction wouldn’t have occurred.
The decision to divorce him came as a result of feeling neglected for too long, which had taken a toll on her self-esteem.
In response, Su Bin resolved not to ignore her any further. He made a conscious choice to invest time and effort into nurturing feelings for her, hoping that over time, their connection would grow stronger.
On Qin Zhenzhen’s first day, Su Bin took her shopping for clothes. As she tried on different outfits, he eagerly offered his opinions, showering her with compliments.
“Darling, you look absolutely stunning in this dress. If you like it, we can get two sets,” he playfully suggested, using the term “wife.”
The mention of the word “wife” caused Qin Zhenzhen to almost blush again, revealing a flicker of emotions.
“One set is enough. I am trying to watch my diet, and soon it won’t fit me,” she responded.
Su Bin insisted, “You look fantastic just the way you are. You don’t need to restrict yourself from enjoying food.. It pains me to see you suffer like this…”
