Chapter 369: Fourth Step

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing the disappointment on Su Bins face, Qin Zhenzhen took a moment to think before concocting a story.

My fourth brother has fallen for someone special. Hes planning to confess his feelings, but hes waiting for the perfect moment.

But hes also worried that if he doesnt act soon, that special someone might accept another proposal.

Unexpectedly, Su Bin, filled with curiosity, asked, Darling, is this girl your fourth brothers affectionate interest, Uncle Chens daughter, Chen Shanshan?

Qin Zhenzhen was caught off guard.

Su Bins words triggered a memory.

When she and Fourth Brother first arrived in the prefectural city, they were staying with Uncle Chen.

Chen Shanshan had a straightforward personality. Initially, she admired Qin Zhenzhens medical skills, but after witnessing Fourth Brothers abilities, her admiration s.h.i.+fted towards him.

She even persistently pestered Fourth Brother to teach her horseback riding and archery, completely disregarding traditional gender norms.

Chen Shanshan was a few months older than Qin Zhenzhen, already at the age of 16. In ancient times, an unmarried and unengaged 16 -year-old girl was quite unusual.

To her knowledge, suitors had approached the Chen family with marriage proposals, but Chen Shanshan consistently postponed marriage.

In most cases, when a girl acted this way, it hinted at a secret love interest who hadnt yet proposed.

Could it be that Su Bins intuition was correct? Had Chen Shanshan set her sights on her fourth brother?

However, her clueless Fourth Brother remained completely unaware of Chen Shanshans feelings.

She hadnt given it much thought at all.

In Qin Zhenzhens mind, she believed that Chen Shanshans reluctance to marry promptly stemmed from her desire to continue learning from her.

It became apparent to her that she needed to gather more information about Chen Shanshan. Once she had confirmed her suspicions, she planned to seek Fourth Brothers opinion.

A mischievous grin crossed her face as she thought about the prospect of playing matchmaker if Fourth Brother shared the same feelings.

Observing Qin Zhenzhens radiant expression, Su Bin believed he had guessed correctly. However, Qin Zhenzhen wasnt about to confirm it.

Im sorry, but I cant share that with you right now, she said with a playful twinkle in her eye. I promise to tell you as soon as I have more information.

Alright, Su Bin didnt press further, but he reached out to embrace Qin

Zhenzhen, whispering softly in her ear, Wife, its the third step.

Qin Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment before reaching out to hug Su Bin gently.

Wife, can you put a little more strength into it?

Of course, she replied, tightening her hold on Su Bin, who reciprocated.

Wife, do you feel the connection?

Yes.

Fearing that a negative response would lead to an even tighter embrace, she couldnt hold back any longer.

The scorching embrace, the warm breath, and the unique words of love all stirred her maiden heart. Wife, is my waist thin? Its not thin. Its just right. Wife, is my chest firm?

Yes it is.

How can you be so sure its solid? she inquired, having never laid her hands on it before.

I just felt it! Su Bin responded with a touch of childishness in his tone. Qin Zhenzhen couldnt help but find his question increasingly whimsical. It

was as It tne seventeen-year-old Su Bin was revealing ms Inner cnmld.

She pondered if she was really going to share a bed with him.

To her surprise, Su Bin questioned her once more, Wife, is the fourth step kissing?

Qin Zhenzhen shook her head instinctively. No!

If its not a kiss, then what is it? Su Bin persisted.

Qin Zhenzhen found herself momentarily at a loss for words.

Su Bin whispered, Ill leave the fourth step to you.

Protesting, Qin Zhenzhen retorted, Ill decide!

Su Bin chuckled. Alright, Ill follow your lead.

He relished the journey of drawing closer to both of them..
