Qin Zhenzhen informed Su Bin about the situation.
Su Binâs expression darkened. âThe Third Prince! He actually did this behind our backs!â
âI still donât want my little sister to enter the palace. Itâs too dangerous!â
Qin Zhenzhen had considered it thoroughly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
According to the information Su Bin had gathered, Su Ruolan and the leader of the martial arts world had already become a couple. They had decided to help the Third Prince reclaim the throne, retired from the martial arts world, got married, and had children.
Any rivalry between him and Su Ning was now nonexistent.
Furthermore, the Third Prince was portrayed as a gentleman in the book. There were no indications of using a woman for ulterior motives. Since he privately confessed to Su Ning, it signified genuine affection.
While it might be impossible for him to love Su Ning as deeply as Su Ruolan, he would, at the very least, protect her. Moreover, both the Su and Qin families were affluent and influential, even coveted by the Public House. Even the Third Prince wouldnât dare to harm Su Ning.
Nevertheless, Su Bin was in a foul mood.
There came a knock on the study door.
âThird Brother, Third Sister-in-law, may I come in?â
Qin Zhenzhen glanced at Su Bin and whispered, âDonât scold her later. Girls are sensitive.â
In ancient times, it was forbidden for a girl to secretly wed without her parentsâ knowledge.
Su Bin wasnât excessively traditional, but he couldnât help feeling upset.
He was upset that the Third Prince had privately confessed to Su Ning.
He was also upset that Su Ning had agreed to the Third Prince behind their backs.
Qin Zhenzhen went to open the door. âLittle sister, whatâs the matter?â
Su Ning lowered her head and blushed.
âI have something to say to Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law.â
âLet her in.â
Su Bin spoke from inside.
After Su Ning entered, she admitted her mistake. âThird Brother, I was wrong!â Su Bin thought that she had changed her mind. âItâs good that you know your mistake.â
Unexpectedly, Su Ning said, âI made a mistake by not discussing it with you two before agreeing to the Third Prince.â
Su Bin immediately understood what she meant, and his expression changed. âIf we donât agree, will you not agree to him?â
If that was the case, it would be easy.
The Third Prince asked without rhyme or reason, âAre you willing to wait for
He did not specify what she was waiting for him to do, nor did he give Su Ning any token.
Su Ning only responded with three words: âIâm willing!â
She had never received any token from the Third Prince.
They could easily deny it!
However, Su Ning answered Su Bin firmly, âI want to convince you to agree!â
âYou!â
Su Bin was furious. He wanted to scold her loudly, but Qin Zhenzhen grabbed his arm.
âLetâs listen to my sisterâs reasoning.â
Su Ningâs rationale left Qin Zhenzhen looking at her in a new light.
âThird Brother, Third Sister-in-law, I understand that youâre trying to prevent me from entering the palace for my own well-being. I acknowledge that the palace is a perilous place that consumes people without mercy.â
âIâm also aware that if I go into the palace, it becomes another vulnerability for both of you. My presence there might become a constraint for you.â
âBut have you considered this? Entering the palace might not be a negative outcome. I wonât necessarily become a burden. Like a marriage, I can also bring value and contribute positively!â
âIâve matured, and I recognize that the path youâve paved for this family hasnât been easy. I know youâve made sacrifices. I want to contribute my share to the familyâ¦â
Su Bin comprehended Su Ningâs sentiments, yet he couldnât contain his frustration.
âYou donât have to contribute to our family. We will handle everything. Your primary focus should be on living well!â
With his strategic mind, Su Bin was confident that he could manage any challenges. Sacrificing his sister for their familyâs safety was not an option.
However, Su Ning remained composed. âLearning to contribute to the family is just one aspect.. On the other hand, I genuinely have feelings for the Third Prince!â
