Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Initially, Su Bin found Qin Sanlong’s behavior peculiar, sensing an underlying animosity. However, he couldn’t recall any specific incident where he might have offended Qin Sanlong. If there were objections, it could only be linked back to when Qin Zhenzhen first married him.
As their relationship improved over time, the entire Qin family, except for Qin
Sanlong, celebrated the newfound harmony. But as Su Bin indulged in a few glasses of wine, he grasped Qin Sanlong’s unspoken message – his brother-in-law held him responsible for his wife’s swift pregnancy.
Indeed, Su Bin was culpable. If he hadn’t insisted on Qin Zhenzhen faking her pregnancy, she might not have independently decided to discontinue contraception.
Silently gazing at Qin Zhenzhen’s distended belly, Su Bin comprehended the cause of Qin Sanlong’s reproach. Without waiting for further persuasion, he lifted his wine glass and spoke to Qin Sanlong, “I recognize my shortcomings and the suffering I’ve caused my wife. I’m willing to punish myself with three cups!”
It was at this moment that Qin Zhenzhen realized the true issue at hand. She understood that her Third Brother pitied her and devised this drinking challenge to potentially inebriate Su Bin. Touched by Su Bin’s willingness to accept the self-imposed penalty, she couldn’t help but find the situation rather amusing. Why were Third Brother and Su Bin being so childishly dramatic? Having children was a natural aspect of life, and in this world, she was already of an age where childbirth was expected. Such theatrics seemed unnecessary. While Qin Zhenzhen refrained from openly intervening, she recognized the need to maintain harmony. Since everyone else was content, she decided to let the matter rest.
Su Bin was indeed intoxicated, and Qin Sanlong found himself in a similar state.
Qin Sanlong had miscalculated Su Bin’s alcohol tolerance, surprised that Su Bin almost endured until the end. Unaware that Su Bin’s resilience stemmed from regular consumption of spirit water, enhancing his physical constitution and alcohol tolerance, he nonetheless had a slightly lower tolerance compared to Qin Sanlong.
Despite this, Qin Sanlong was content. He achieved his goal of getting Su Bin drunk and was pleased that Su Bin responded with a self-imposed punishment instead of resentment. It affirmed Qin Sanlong’s belief in Su Bin’s genuine affection for his sister, rivaling the love of their four brothers.
As Su Bin began to show signs of intoxication, Qin Sanlong decided it was time for him to rest.
“Third… Third Brother… Can’t handle… need to rest…”
Su Bin’s speech was slurred, a clear sign of inebriation.
Noticing Su Bin’s state, Qin Sanlong instructed others to assist him to a separate room. Concerned that Su Bin might behave recklessly in his inebriated state, Qin Sanlong preferred to keep him away from his sister, who was about to give birth. It was also impractical for her to tend to her drunken husband at this crucial time.
However, Su Bin resisted the idea. Unwilling to sleep in another room, he insisted his mind was clear, and he had never lost control due to alcohol.
In an attempt to convince Su Bin to move to another room, Qin Sanlong emphasized that it was in his best interest. He grabbed Su Bin’s clothes and urged him to relocate. Su Bin, however, remained adamant, expressing discomfort and a desire to avoid vomiting, aware that Qin Zhenzhen possessed an immortal grass that could alleviate his drunkenness quickly.
As the discussion unfolded, Qin Sanlong grew more concerned, emphasizing the benefits of sleeping in a different room. Su Bin initially resisted, claiming he couldn’t sleep elsewhere. Qin Zhenzhen intervened, assuring Qin Sanlong that she had already arranged for hangover soup to be prepared. Eventually, Qin Sanlong relented, though he muttered about the futility of drinking hangover soup after consuming alcohol..
