The following morning, Qin Zhenzhen opened her eyes and found herself face to face with a handsome visage.
“You’re awake so early?” she inquired, her cheeks flushing as she recalled their passionate night.
Finally, they were now a genuine couple.
Su Bin beamed and responded, “It’s not that early, really. I just woke up, and the first thing I wanted to do was check if my lovely wife was resting well.”
“Wife, you’re absolutely stunning. Even in your sleep, you look incredibly beautiful.
Qin Zhenzhen instinctively pulled the blanket closer around herself. This guy was being exceptionally affectionate so early in the morning. Did he have plans for a repeat performance?
She had believed she was the experienced one in that regard, but Su Bin turned out to be quite the hidden expert, armed with various tricks.
She had to concede defeat.
Su Bin took hold of Qin Zhenzhen’s hand and whispered, “Wife, how did you feel last night?”
Qin Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him. “Can I label you as a refined rogue?”
Su Bin hesitated for a moment before grinning. “Who ever said scholars are always refined individuals?”
“Furthermore, if I turn into a refined gentleman, you might not appreciate it.”
He was well aware that his wife intended to assert her dominance in that area. As a man, he couldn’t allow that to happen.
Fortunately, he had spent more than a year diligently honing his physical prowess.
In that moment, Su Bin couldn’t help but consider Qin Zhenzhen’s feelings.
“Wife, I’ve been away for so long, and I’m a bit anxious.”
“Tonight, I promise to be a gentleman.”
Qin Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him once more. “You’ll be sleeping in the study tonight.’
Su Bin instantly protested, “Please, no!”
“Why not take charge tonight?”
Qin Zhenzhen burst into laughter. “I won’t be taking charge!”
It seemed she enjoyed teasing him!
Su Bin breathed a sigh of relief, recognizing that his wife was just playing around.
Wasn’t this a form of flirtation?
Su Bin’s heart was filled with warmth.
Qin Zhenzhen attempted to rise, but Su Bin stopped her. “Wife, there’s something I need to discuss with you.”
“Is it something important?”
He wasn’t certain if this was the right time. Should he mention it after they got
Truthfully, Qin Zhenzhen was eager to get out of bed, just in case another unexpected occurrence took place.
Nevertheless, Su Bin felt compelled to clarify, “Yesterday was a special day for us. I didn’t want to bring it up then and spoil the mood.”
“But it’s not a trivial matter, and I must inform you.”
Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback. “What is it? Don’t keep me in suspense.”
Su Bin explained with a hint of helplessness, “I’m afraid you might find it utterly absurd when I tell you, but I assure you, it’s entirely true.”
Qin Zhenzhen’s expression grew serious.
“Then don’t keep me in suspense. Tell me, why is the fifth princess targeting you?”
Only then did Su Bin reveal, “I’ve drawn the fifth princess’s attention.”
Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback. “But why would she be interested in you?”
Su Bin gazed at Qin Zhenzhen with a steady look. “Let me ask you, do you think your husband is handsome?”
Qin Zhenzhen was momentarily speechless. Why was this guy being so conceited?
“Am I considered talented?”
Qin Zhenzhen playfully nudged Su Bin. “Enough with the smugness. Just tell me. Did the fifth princess take an interest in you and want to make you her husband?”
“But you’re already married. Does she intend for you to divorce and marry her instead?”
“Or does she plan to become your equal spouse?”
Within the imperial family, there was a decree that once the prince consort married a princess, he couldn’t take another wife as long as the princess was alive. Additionally, any women who existed prior to the marriage could be quickly dispatched by the princess if she was ruthless enough..
