Su Bin couldnât resist teasing her. âA bold little girl who not only dares to marry a man but also asks to share a room with him!â
Qin Zhenzhen blushed again.
She retained the original hostâs memory. On their wedding night, Su Bin went to the study to sleep, and the original host followed, trying to persuade Su Bin to sleep with her.
Su Bin wasnât as forceful as the original host, and he almost got dragged into the room.
Infuriated, Su Bin cut off the original hostâs sleeves and threatened that if she tried to drag him into the room again, he would kill her before committing suicide.
Only then did the original host let him go.
Qin Zhenzhen wasnât to blame, but she couldnât explain herself. She had no choice but to say, âI was too foolish back then!â
Curious, Su Bin asked, âWhat do you mean?â
âItâs just a metaphor. I mean that people blinded by love can act foolishly.â
Su Bin laughed. âOh, so you think thereâs no water in your head? Where did it all go?â
Qin Zhenzhen suddenly thought of an internet term and glared at him. âIâve been âcleared away by the sun,â of course! Anyway, letâs not dwell on the past. Iâve become wiser now! â
âOh, I see!â
However, Su Bin didnât continue; instead, he changed the topic.
âI am here to discuss something with you,â he said.
Su Binâs demeanor turned serious, and he gazed at Qin Zhenzhen without moving, as though trying to read her thoughts.
âWhat is it that you want to talk about?â Qin Zhenzhen asked, taking a chair and sitting down, maintaining a distance of ten feet from Su Bin. She subtly lowered her head, feeling uneasy under his sharp gaze, fearing she might inadvertently reveal something.
âAs long as we venture outside, there always seem to be people observing us. I wonder if they are targeting you or me,â Su Bin said thoughtfully.
Qin Zhenzhen replied, âI already warned you not to go out these days, whether they have a grudge against you or me.â
Su Bin reassured her, âRegardless of their arrogance, they wouldnât dare to make a move within these walls. Besides, the governor has even stationed guards here.â
âPlease donât worry; I will ensure nothing happens before the examination.â
Su Bin frowned. âBut we canât just keep hiding like this.â
Qin Zhenzhen turned to him. âWhat do you have in mind?â
She had already thought of a way. She had written the story of Su Binâs father in the form of a book, replacing the Marquisâ Mansion with a wealthy businessman and altering the names and plot details. In the new version, the protagonist was depicted as a young master who faced mistreatment from his stepmother and had no choice but to leave home. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Secretly, she had asked her Fourth Brother to find a skilled storyteller who would narrate this revised tale at the teahouses in the prefecture, starting tomorrow. However, she had not revealed this plan to Su Bin.
Unaware of her efforts, Su Bin revealed his own idea. âIâve documented the story you told me last time. I want your Fourth Brother to find some storytellers at the tea houses.â
Qin Zhenzhen looked at Su Bin in surprise. âDo you think that will be effective? Do you truly believe that the main character in the story is your father?â
Su Bin suddenly sneered. âIf you think itâs futile, then why did you ask your Fourth Brother to find the storytellers in the first place?â
She was hiding something from him.
Caught off guard, Qin Zhenzhen stood up. âWhat are you talking about?â Su Binâs face sank.
âI have already noticed what you and your Fourth Brother did. Actually, you have already written the story, and your Fourth Brother has already gone to the storyteller!â
âYouâ¦â Qin Zhenzhen couldnât believe that her secret with her Fourth Brother would be discovered by Su Bin.
She wanted to defend herself, but she felt that it was meaningless.
But she did not know how to explain that to Su Bin..
