Chapter 331: He Will Definitely Get Qin Zhenzhen’s Heart
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Qin Silong and Su Bin were sent to the military camp, Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin soon returned to their prefecture.
Qin Zhenzhen persisted in her business endeavors to earn a living.
Mr. Chen, recognizing the need for additional support in managing both sides of the business, introduced two competent individuals to Qin Zhenzhen.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhenzhen’s eldest brother’s family had also relocated to the prefecture capital, joining her parents. Her business swiftly expanded to reach the provincial capital.
To prepare for the future, she invested in a shop and a house in the provincial capital for added stability.
Su Bin, on the other hand, openly pursued his studies while clandestinely overseeing an intelligence network that spanned the entire nation. His activities included gathering information, selling intelligence, issuing warnings to corrupt officials, and opportunistically extracting concessions from them. As a result, Su Bin’s income grew exponentially.
In less than half a year, he had fully repaid the funds he had “borrowed” from the Marquis Mansion. His generosity extended to his subordinates, as he not only acquired the family business for them but also established a reward system. His employees hailed him as a conscientious and caring leader.
Su Bin did not conceal these developments from Qin Zhenzhen. Upon learning of his accomplishments, she viewed Su Bin in a new light.
Contrary to the money-loving villain depicted in the book, Su Bin’s true character had clearly transformed. It was evident that a change in mindset could lead to a change in one’s nature.
Pleased with his current financial success, Su Bin smiled at Qin Zhenzhen and remarked, “Wife, there’s no need for you to repay the money I borrowed from the Marquis Mansion. Consider it my betrothal gift to you.”
Qin Zhenzhen cast a sidelong glance at him, her expression determined. “We agreed to borrow it back then, and I intend to honor that agreement. I’ll not only repay the princ.i.p.al but also the interest!”
She couldn’t help but think it was too early for him to offer a betrothal gift when she hadn’t fully accepted him yet.
Despite her stance, Su Bin maintained his warm smile. “Very well, my dear.
Once you’ve repaid it, I’ll even add a little extra.”
He envisioned a future where his wealth would be shared with his wife. His growing confidence in winning Qin Zhenzhen’s heart filled him with determination.
He silently thanked Grandma Qin for her earlier suggestion. After all, how could two people who shared a bed not develop feelings for each other?
Even though he had moved to the academy, he made a point of returning home occasionally to spend the night with his wife, much to the amus.e.m.e.nt of his cla.s.smates who thought he couldn’t bear to be apart from her.
Little did they know that these nights were a bittersweet torment for Su Bin. He had noticed that Qin Zhenzhen often rolled around and kicked off the blanket in her sleep, especially when the weather was chilly. She would unconsciously snuggle up to him for warmth, and he couldn’t resist covering her.
His concern for her well-being warred with his desire to be close to her.
However, he always restrained himself, fearing her potential embarra.s.sment upon waking. Thus, he would rise before dawn and retire to the study to read.
This arrangement persisted for a while before Qin Zhenzhen discovered it.
One night, as Qin Zhenzhen s.h.i.+fted in her sleep and came closer, Su Bin, as usual, covered her with the blanket. They shared the same bed, and in the darkness, he found himself yearning to kiss her.
As he drew nearer, it seemed his warm breath stirred her from slumber. She gently pushed him away.
“How could you renege on your word? You promised not to do anything like that to me!”
Su Bin defended himself earnestly. “What have I done? I didn’t embrace you, nor did I kiss you. I merely covered you with a blanket.. Should I just let you freeze? Is that what you want?”
