章 13: What Is She Thinking of?
編集者: Henyee Translations
Su Bin's cold gaze narrowed as he stared at Qin Zhenzhen for a prolonged moment before firmly rejecting her plea. "You want a divorce? No way!"
Regardless of whether Qin Zhenzhen's intentions were genuine or not, Su Bin would not entertain the idea.
With the exam just two weeks away, he refused to complicate matters further. This was a critical moment, and he couldn't let anything hinder his focus!
He had already endured humiliation and allowed her to enter the house to ensure it wouldn't affect his exam.
His only way out was through the imperial examination. He couldn't allow her to block his path.
Qin Zhenzhen quickly proposed a compensation for his emotional distress. "What if I offer you monetary compensation? Even if I have made mistakes in the past, I hope you can be magnanimous and let bygones be bygones after our divorce."
She understood that changing the plot in the book would be challenging. The role of the villain was deeply ingrained. She had to think for the sake of the entire family and distance herself from Su Bin.
However, Su Bin, despite not comprehending Qin Zhenzhen's motives, coldly rejected her once again. "Stop dreaming!"
No amount of money could make up for the humiliation he had endured. He was determined to repay the humiliation she had inflicted upon him tenfold!
Qin Zhenzhen was puzzled. "You don't like me. Why don't you want a divorce?"
In this world, the scales tipped heavily in favor of men. A divorced man could still achieve great success, but a divorced woman faced significant societal barriers.
Su Bin contemplated:
Even if Qin Zhenzhen was telling the truth, it would not be wise to pursue a divorce at this moment. Her four brothers would not let Su Bin off easily, and it would not be worth it if it affected his upcoming exam.
When she had wanted to marry him, she shamelessly resorted to force. Now that she no longer loved him, she wanted an immediate divorce. Did she think she was the Retired Emperor?
Hmph!
Once he had power and influence, he would make sure to torment and eliminate those who crossed him without attracting any legal consequences. He would definitely make her experience a life worse than death!
Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin locked eyes, and she could sense the hidden intent to kill within his gaze.
For a moment, she was stunned. It turned out that the Host had already caused Su Bin unforgivable harm.
It became evident that the villain was on the brink of embracing his dark side.
"Listen carefully, if you provoke me, there will be no escape for you in this lifetime!"
Su Bin's response was filled with unmistakable hatred.
After a brief pause, he added, "If you dare to interfere with my exam, I will strangle you to death!"
Qin Zhenzhen finally understood why Su Bin adamantly refused the divorce. Not only was he concerned about her brothers seeking revenge and jeopardizing his exam, but he also desired revenge against her!
He could keep her trapped, forcing her to live a desolate existence in an empty room for the rest of her life. Alternatively, he could subject her to various forms of torture and torment.
He had just made it clear that if she provoked him, she would never escape from the consequences for the rest of her life!
This was how a true villain thought.
Qin Zhenzhen was still too naive to believe that she could resolve the conflict by taking the initiative to propose a divorce.
Well, for now, I won't provoke him any further.
Pretending not to notice Su Bin's desire for revenge, Qin Zhenzhen spoke to him, "Alright then. We'll proceed with the divorce after you pass the Elementary Scholar examination."
In the next half month, she hoped to find a way to mend their relationship and alleviate his hatred.
Perhaps by taking good care of his younger siblings.
With that thought in mind, Qin Zhenzhen calmly walked out of the study room.
Observing her departure, Su Bin fell into deep contemplation.
She seemed to have become more cunning, yet also foolishly unaware.
Couldn't she sense the deep-rooted hatred he harbored for her?
Su Cheng and the others, who had been eavesdropping outside the study, were equally puzzled.
What was she planning?
Su Ning's thoughts were more straightforward. She couldn't help but whisper, "Our Third Brother is truly the cleverest. If we leave her hanging for two months, she won't be able to take it anymore."
"But why didn't Third Brother agree to the divorce?" Su Cheng questioned.
Su Cheng snorted in response. "Third Brother is concerned about the examination. Besides, it seems like she doesn't truly want a divorce. It appears she is strategically retreating to advance!"
Unconcerned with their bewildered expressions, Qin Zhenzhen headed straight to the kitchen.
