Chapter 231: Short Pain

Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the family meeting, Su Bin found himself compelled to have a private conversation with Qin Zhenzhen.

Qin Zhenzhen had just secured the door and settled in for the night when a knock at the door startled her.

“It’s me, Su Bin,” he whispered, his voice barely audible.

His tone held a subtle, masculine gentleness that caused a flicker of emotion within Qin Zhenzhen.

However, Qin Zhenzhen prided herself on her rationality and decided against opening the door.

Despite everyone else being asleep, he had chosen this late hour to seek her out, taking care to hush his voice to avoid any misconceptions.

From behind the door, Qin Zhenzhen inquired, “Is there something urgent? I’m about to go to bed.”

She was resolute in her decision to keep the door closed, not willing to grant access unless the situation demanded it.

Su Bin, however, was not inclined to leave just yet.

“While it’s not urgent, given that you’re still awake, perhaps we could have a little chat,” he suggested.

Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t be sure if it was merely her imagination, but Su Bin’s voice seemed unusually gentle.

In truth, deliberately lowering one’s voice often led to misinterpretations of gentleness.

Despite her racing heart, Qin Zhenzhen maintained her resolve not to open the door. She reminisced about Su Bin’s earlier excessive attentiveness during the day, which led her to believe he might be harboring intentions of spending the night.

Observing the lack of response from within, Su Bin elaborated, “I’d like to discuss something concerning my sister.”

“Please don’t let your thoughts wander,” he added.

However, the telltale blush on her face gave away her emotions.

Su Bin’s initial surprise quickly transformed into an inward chuckle.

How easily she blushed!

On the ensuing day, Qin Zhenzhen tasked Su Ning with circulating the information that they intended to visit the town in two days’ time.

This plan had been meticulously discussed between Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen during their conversation the previous night.

They held the belief that this news would inevitably reach Qian Shanmin’s ears.

With this information in his possession, Qian Shanmin might finally relinquish his pursuit of his sister.

Furthermore, Su Bin enlisted his second brother to uncover the exact location of Qian Shanmin’s visit to their aunt’s house.

Was he there for a blind date, possibly hosted by their great-aunt?

By that point, they would gain insight into Qian Shanmin’s decision.

Ultimately, Qian Shanmin’s actions were his own concern. Su Bin had already cautioned against revealing to him that his sister was willing to marry him.

Su Bin had also communicated to Qin Zhenzhen that if Qian Shanmin had indeed made a commitment to the girl from his great-aunt’s family and later discovered his sister’s willingness to marry him, he might reject her and opt for his sister.

Consequently, this would certainly lead to strong opposition against the marriage.

In essence, Su Bin held the belief that if Qian Shanmin lacked the determination to marry his sister, they couldn’t endorse her marriage to him either.

Although Qin Zhenzhen initially found Su Bin’s approach somewhat domineering, upon careful reflection, she recognized its logic.

At that juncture, Qin Zhenzhen queried Su Bin, “Is it truly wise to inform him beforehand while withholding the same from your sister?”

“Aren’t you concerned that if Qian Shanmin ultimately selects another girl, your sister might be disheartened by the ordeal?”

Su Bin responded, “That’s what we call short-term discomfort! A man who lacks resoluteness isn’t worth a lifelong commitment. You’ve been married before, so we must exercise caution.’

“Think about it— if Brother Shanmin has indeed chosen someone else, it underscores his lukewarm feelings toward my sister.”

“And if, despite discovering that my sister’s circumstances have changed and he’s discarded other potential matches, he still desires her hand, then my sister would likely hesitate to accept!”
