Chapter 396: Second Meeting
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Bin and the Third Prince were both strikingly handsome men. In the original book, the Third Prince was known for his radiant and cheerful beauty, while Su Bin’s attractiveness had a darker, almost twisted edge to it, which added an air of intensity and suffocation. His tumultuous life, marred by suffering and being coerced into marriage by the Qin family, had led to a series of tragedies. The hardships endured by his siblings had further darkened his outlook on life, and his external demeanor reflected this inner turmoil.
However, since Qin Zhenzhen entered his life, the story had taken a different turn. Their family’s circumstances had improved significantly, and his siblings were all doing well. Love had brought a positive change to him, and his outward disposition had naturally shifted towards a more sunny demeanor.
Nonetheless, the traits of a villain couldn’t be completely erased overnight. No matter how adept he was at concealing it, prolonged interaction would reveal that he possessed a scheming nature beneath the surface. To put it kindly, he
was resourceful; to be more blunt, he had a calculating side.
Lin Yue, observing Su Bin, had noticed this aspect of his character and regarded him differently. He might have also picked up on Su Bin’s underlying scheming tendencies. Despite this, Su Bin remained composed, realizing that he needed to continue his act.
The Third Prince expressed his gratitude to Su Ning in person. “Thank you,
Miss Su, for saving us. I am extremely grateful.”
Su Ning hesitated before responding, “No… You don’t have to thank me… You already compensated me the last time.”
“But I didn’t save you back then… for payment.”
Su Ning found it hard to contain her excitement at this moment, making it difficult for her to speak coherently. She wanted to remain composed, but it was proving to be quite the challenge.
First and foremost, the Third Prince was an exceptionally handsome young man, even more so than the top celebrities. He was standing so close to her, sincerely expressing his gratitude, which was bound to elicit excitement.
Su Ning’s current emotional state could be likened to that of a modern girl meeting her idol unexpectedly. The surge of emotions was beyond description.
Furthermore, the Third Prince held a lofty status, yet when he spoke to Su Ning, he didn’t appear condescending in the slightest. He even offered a warm smile and went on to explain,
“Miss Su, please don’t misunderstand. I’m aware that you didn’t act for the sake of any reward, which is why I felt compelled to express my gratitude in person.”
“The item we sent previously wasn’t meant as a reward; it was a gesture of our appreciation. ”
“I’ll always remember your kindness in saving my life.”
“If Miss Su ever encounters any difficulties in the future, rest assured that I will do my utmost to assist.”
Su Ning was so elated that she couldn’t control herself. “Really? Thank you,
Your Highness. I… I’ll remember your promise!”
Observing Su Ning’s inability to contain her excitement, Qin Zhenzhen furrowed her brow slightly. She hoped that Su Ning would remember the Third Prince’s promise but wouldn’t develop any deeper feelings for him. However, she understood that achieving this would be a significant challenge. It was possible that Su Ning had already formed an emotional connection with the Third Prince, given her current display of emotions.
The unfolding events appeared to be slipping out of Qin Zhenzhen’s control. In the original story, Su Ning had only seen Chu Tiansheng once when he was a child, but this was now their second encounter. Furthermore, they had engaged in a lengthy conversation.
It was evident that Chu Tiansheng held a favorable impression of Su Ning and had even made a promise to her.
Qin Zhenzhen was apprehensive that Chu Tiansheng’s interactions with Su
Ning might create an illusion that harbored a certain fondness for her, potentially leading her to entertain inappropriate thoughts.
Observing this, Su Bin couldn’t help but feel secretly pleased. Several years down the line, the promise of an emperor was akin to a “get out of jail free” card..
