Chapter 382: Missing Him A Little

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was a common theme in stories that one could only rise above others through enduring hards.h.i.+ps.

The Third Prince, who had been poisoned from a young age and then cultivated an unparalleled mystical technique in the face of adversity, followed the typical trajectory of many male protagonists in books.

In the books plot, the Third Prince had been hunted down by his Eighth

Imperial Uncle, who had already ascended the throne, and they were on the brink of a deadly confrontation. Their only recourse was for the Third Prince to dethrone the Eighth Imperial Uncle if he wished to survive. Being the male lead, he was fated to become the emperor.

Now, the Third Prince was being relentlessly pursued by the Crown Prince. If he didnt succeed on his first attempt, there would inevitably be subsequent attempts. The Crown Prince and the Third Prince were locked in a life-or-death struggle, and the Third Prince had to eliminate the Crown Prince to ensure his own survival.

Consequently, his destiny was intertwined with the throne.

Initially, those around him had sought to protect his life. However, as the poison within him could potentially be purged, their objectives evolved. If the General Manor wished to avenge his late mother, they would need to eliminate the Crown Prince and expose the Empresss cruel machinations.

The Crown Princes relentless pursuit expedited their plans, and at this juncture, Su Bin extended an olive branch to both parties. Given that both sides had mutual interests, there was an opportunity for cooperation.

In the original book, the Third Prince was portrayed as possessing a strong moral compa.s.s, and he was far from being a malevolent character. The individuals surrounding him and his entire team were known for their decency, making it a wise choice for Su Bin to cooperate with them.

Qin Zhenzhen recognized that Su Bins knowledge of the Third Prince and his team was likely more comprehensive. After careful consideration, she deemed cooperation with them to be a sensible course of action.

However, Su Bin viewed this path as fraught with danger, and he had already devised an exit strategy. He had even considered the worst-case scenario and was willing to forsake this immensely profitable opportunity. Taking down the Crown Prince as soon as possible held greater importance to him.

Ultimately, Su Bins motivations were driven by his devotion to Qin Zhenzhen.

With these thoughts in mind, Qin Zhenzhen initiated a warm embrace with Su

Bin.

Su Bin, she softly uttered, surprised by her own gentleness.

Su Bin, equally touched by this unexpected tenderness, returned her embrace, holding her close. Wife, you are absolutely enchanting.

Blus.h.i.+ng, Qin Zhenzhen struggled to convey her feelings to Su Bin. She wondered whether she should express them through words or actions.

Observing her emotional state, Su Bin needed no further hints to understand her sentiments.

He was overjoyed.

As Qin Zhenzhens face grew increasingly flushed, Su Bin found himself desiring more.

Lowering his gaze to meet hers, he contemplated kissing her but sensed that the atmosphere wasnt quite right. With a mischievous grin, he spoke, Wife, how about being a good girl and addressing me as husband!?

Qin Zhenzhen modestly lowered her head, avoiding the intensity of Su Bins gaze.

Su Bin, dont push your luck.

Feigning a sigh, Su Bin responded, Ah, we did agree to progress in our relations.h.i.+p step by step. But Ive been neglecting my wife due to my studies.

Weve been at this for a while, and weve only reached the third step.

Wife, do you hold that against me?

Qin Zhenzhen playfully punched Su Bins chest with her small fist. Who said I hold it against you?

However, during Su Bins absence at the prefectural school, where he couldnt be with her every day, she truly missed him..
