Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wang Yizhi’s plump wife immediately bristled with anger, ready to unleash her scolding.
Wang Yizhi, however, swiftly intervened to halt her.
Qin Zhenzhen’s tone remained frigid as she uttered, “To put it plainly, my stance hasn’t changed. If you’re willing to pay, proceed; if not, kindly leave.”
Initially, she had contemplated extracting a hefty sum from them, but now, a sense of revulsion welled up within her as she regarded them. She had, after all, generously extended a fair price to avoid dealing with them.
What she’d just spoken was the unvarnished truth. In her current condition, recovery was an uphill battle.
Without the aid of the spirit water, she was firmly convinced that no physician could facilitate her recuperation.
Wang Yizhi steered his rotund spouse aside, sharing a few hushed words with her. Only then did she relinquish the funds to activate the card.
Qin Zhenzhen found herself taken aback. Were they truly willing to part with such a considerable sum of money?
Had she known earlier, she would have requested a higher sum in silver.
As the corpulent wife proceeded to settle the payment, Wang Yizhi leaned in closer to Qin Zhenzhen and whispered, “Miss Qin, I have a favor to ask.”
Unmoved, Qin Zhenzhen didn’t even glance in his direction. “I have no interest in helping you.”
Wang Yizhi contemplated a second attempt, but Su Bin shot him a venomous glare. “Disappear! Stay away from my wife!”
Su Bin’s glare cut like a blade. Wang Yizhi couldn’t help but shiver.
Among all his brothers-in-law, Wang Yizhi had previously regarded Su Bin as the most challenging to handle.
Now that Su Bin’s true identity had been unveiled, and with everyone acknowledging him as the heir to the Marquis Mansion, Wang Yizhi found Su Bin to be an even more daunting figure.
In that moment, Wang Yizhi’s rotund wife called him over, and he hastened to attend to her.
Su Bin wore a discontented expression. “Today has been quite an unlucky day!”
Qin Zhenzhen countered with a smile, “Consider the money they just spent.
Your luck might change.”
Wang Yizhi and the others completed their payments and activated their cards. Qin Zhenzhen delegated Wang Yizhi’s corpulent wife to Chen Shanshan and Su Ning.
Initially, she instructed them to guide the overweight woman through some basic weight-loss exercises, and soon, beads of sweat adorned her brow.
The rotund wife, yearning to summon Wang Yizhi to attend to her, found her intentions thwarted by Grandma Qin.
The treatment room buzzed with the presence of women, strictly prohibiting any male entry.
The corpulent lady, known for her penchant to torment Wang Yizhi, reluctantly allowed her maids to serve him, granting him a temporary reprieve.
With newfound freedom, Wang Yizhi contemplated seeking out Qin Zhenzhen once more. Yet, he faced the grim reality that Qin Zhenzhen had no inclination to see him.
Left with no other recourse, he retrieved a folded note written long ago and requested the health center’s maids to deliver it to Qin Zhenzhen, who was secluded in the inner room.
Within the inner room, Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin shared a tranquil tea-drinking moment. Observing Su Bin’s graceful gestures, she couldn’t help but be captivated.
At some point, Su Bin had mastered the art of tea-making and insisted on personally preparing it for Qin Zhenzhen.
His natural good looks were enhanced by his refined movements, particularly those involving his hands, rendering the entire scene visually pleasing.
Su Bin presented the tea to Qin Zhenzhen and inquired softly, “My dear, how do I look?”
Qin Zhenzhen playfully clicked her tongue. “It’s just skin deep!”
Their rapport had evolved to the point where they interacted as if they were old friends.
Nevertheless, they had not yet crossed that threshold.
Qin Zhenzhen found Su Bin’s behavior rather intriguing. In private moments when no one else was present, he would address her as “my wife.” The more he used the term, the more naturally it flowed from him.
At times, his tone was so tender that it felt as though he was trying to wring out every drop of affection.
Curiously, he appeared to be growing more attentive to her needs, surpassing the concern he showed his own wife as a husband.
Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but wonder if he had fallen in love with her.
However, Su Bin had never confessed his feelings. Instead, he engaged with her as if she were a close friend, almost like how he might interact with a trusted confidant.
In essence, Su Bin seemed to regard her as a dear friend, someone with whom he could share his thoughts without reservation..
