Chapter 323: The Crown Prince

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Most importantly, Qin Zhenzhen believed she could still make an effort to nurture a relationship with Su Bin. Giving up on such a handsome husband would be a waste.

In that moment, Su Bin pondered his own thoughts. If Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t accept him even when he achieved top marks in the examination, he wouldn’t readily write a divorce letter.

He was determined to bring up the compensation he had previously suggested. He firmly believed that offering her several times the compensation would eventually win her over. He was unwavering in his determination not to give up on her.

If Qin Zhenzhen were privy to Su Bin’s thoughts, she might have felt inclined to kick him away. His perspective seemed to have veered far off course. Just then, an attendant arrived with a report.

“Young Master, the butler from the Crown Prince’s Residence is here with a formal invitation. Here’s the invitation.

Su Bin accepted the invitation and expressed curiosity. “Why would the Crown Prince visit?”

“Perhaps it’s because I’m so convincingly portraying myself as unremarkable, timid, and averse to trouble that it’s caught his attention?”

“Your Highness, do you realize that my wisdom and strategic prowess have piqued his interest, and he wishes to forge a connection with me and have me join his faction?”

Su Bin muttered to himself in a somewhat narcissistic manner before turning to Qin Zhenzhen. “Wife, what do you think I should do when he arrives? Should

I continue feigning mediocrity, or should I display my talents appropriately?”

Qin Zhenzhen glanced at him and retorted sarcastically, “You, with your abundance of wisdom and strategic brilliance, surely know what to do.”

Su Bin, brimming with confidence, believed he could execute the compensation plan he had previously proposed with ease. He couldn’t foresee any challenges that could deter him.

“Thank you for your compliments, my dear wife.”

“Nevertheless, I suspect the Crown Prince may have ulterior motives for humbling himself and paying a visit.”

Su Bin refrained from elaborating further, choosing instead to exit the study to make the necessary preparations. With the Crown Prince’s impending arrival, adequate arrangements were paramount.

Crown Prince Chu Hengsheng had inherited his father’s penchant for lasciviousness and had taken it a step further.

His father, a man obsessed with cleanliness, would never entertain the notion of touching any woman who wasn’t his original partner.

The Crown Prince, on the other hand, exhibited the complete opposite behavior. As long as a woman captured his attention, even if she were a courtesan, he wouldn’t hesitate to pursue her.

He had first glimpsed Qin Zhenzhen in the palace, and her image had left an indelible mark in his mind.

In his eyes, Qin Zhenzhen was unlike any woman he had ever encountered.

With her captivating beauty and alluring figure, she carried an air of casual confidence and exuberant vitality, radiating a natural and untamed allure.

The Crown Prince had never encountered a woman quite like her before, and she piqued his curiosity.

However, there was a significant obstacle in his pursuit – Qin Zhenzhen had already wed another man.

Normally, this wouldn’t have deterred him, but the man she had married was none other than the Old Marquis’s biological grandson, Su Bin.

Rumors had it that the Old Marquis held Su Bin in high regard. Even before Su Bin returned to the Marquis Mansion to officially acknowledge his heritage, the Old Marquis had bestowed upon him a substantial sum of money. He had even gifted Su Bin with Mr. Chen, who had been by his side.

If everything went according to plan, Su Bin would inevitably become the heir of the Marquis Mansion, and Qin Zhenzhen would become the mansion’s princess consort.

This presented a significant challenge for the Crown Prince. His interest in Qin Zhenzhen was fueled by lust, but it was also driven by the tantalizing prospect of acquiring what seemed unattainable. Consequently, his desires burned with an insatiable itch.

Aware that Qin Zhenzhen was set to depart the capital in just two days, the Crown Prince yearned for an opportunity to see her but struggled to find a legitimate excuse.

As the Crown Prince, he couldn’t simply visit Su Bin unannounced. However, his aide, Mr. Huang, had a different perspective.

“I believe Su Bin is not an ordinary individual.”

“If he were, the Old Marquis wouldn’t hold him in such high regard.”

“I suspect that the Jiang family and the Eighth Imperial Uncle’s schemes have been exposed. It’s possible he played a role in that.”

The Crown Prince’s interest was piqued. “It appears that I must pay him a visit..”
