Seeing Su Bin’s silence, Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t resist asking, “What’s on your mind? Did I say something wrong?”

Su Bin nodded slightly. “You’re right.”

“Thank you and your Fourth Brother for saving my sister’s life.”

He could imagine the dire fate his sister would have faced if she had been trapped by w.a.n.g Yizhi’s scheme.

Playfully, Qin Zhenzhen teased him, “How do you plan to express your grat.i.tude this time? You won’t just talk and make empty promises like last time, will you?”

Su Bin stopped and asked, “How do you want me to show my grat.i.tude?”

Without hesitation, Qin Zhenzhen replied, “It’s simple. Give me a divorce paper.”

Su Bin felt uneasy. Qin Zhenzhen seemed truly determined to end their relations.h.i.+p, and he was now certain it wasn’t a ploy.

He no longer hated her, nor did he want to keep her around for future torment, but he wasn’t ready to let her go either.

He wanted to understand why she had undergone such a significant change, and why she had provoked him in the first place only to leave now.

Su Bin, coming up with the theory of an antagonist, responded to Qin

Zhenzhen calmly. “We’ll discuss this once my name is on the list.”

Qin Zhenzhen misunderstood his intentions, replying happily, “Alright, we’ll divorce when you become a Cultivated Talent.”

Su Bin couldn’t help but correct her, “You’re mistaken. The Cultivated Talent List isn’t a name on the golden list. Everyone says you’re our lucky star, so let’s see if you can secure a spot on my golden list.”

With that, he walked ahead, not allowing Qin Zhenzhen a chance to reply.

Qin Zhenzhen was startled. What did she just hear?

Su Bin did not want to stop him from becoming a Cultivated Talent, but now he wanted her to wait until he made it to the top of the list?

After Su Bin became a Cultivated Talent, he had plans to advance further and aim for the t.i.tle of Advanced Scholar the following year. Only after achieving that milestone would he be eligible to partic.i.p.ate in the imperial examination the year after that.

There were still two or three years ahead before Qin Zhenzhen could obtain the divorce paper. She had to wait for this time to pa.s.s before she could officially sever ties with Su Bin.

Following the plot, Su Bin missed the Cultivated Talent examination this year, but he excelled in the three subsequent examinations, earning the prestigious t.i.tle of a special student. He also became the first Advanced Scholar of his year.

On the other hand, Qin Zhenzhen partic.i.p.ated in the imperial examination during the third year, securing the top position yet again. Subsequently, she took part in the imperial examination and earned the esteemed t.i.tle of Primus, chosen personally by the emperor.

During this period, Su Bin faced various challenges. He lost three of his family members, and his second brother fled while his fourth brother became a eunuch. Fully aware of his background and the Marquis’ Mansion’s plans, he decided to counteract the Duke Mansion’s schemes. By that time, Su Bin would have almost turned evil.

Qin Zhenzhen stomped her feet.

How could Su Bin be like this?

He did not like her. Then what was the point of keeping her?

She had helped them so much, but she could not even get one divorce paper!

Was her strategy wrong?

Qin Silong, who was walking behind, had been paying attention to his sister and Su Bin.

Seeing his sister so angry, he could not help but quicken his pace. “Zhenzhen, what happened? Did Su Bin bully you again?”

Su Qing rushed to clarify, “Brother Silong, there seems to be a misunderstanding. My Third Brother is actually grateful to Third Sister-in-law, and he would never mistreat her!”

Qin Zhenzhen recounted the conversation with Su Bin to her Fourth Brother, explaining, “Su Bin thanked me earlier, so I inquired about how he planned to show his grat.i.tude.”

She then shared Su Bin’s response with Qin Silong.

Understanding the situation, Su Qing’s face lit up with joy as he hurried ahead.

He was eager to inform her Second Brother about this turn of events..
