Chapter 13: What Is She Thinking of?
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.
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.
