Suppressed

Su Bin confided in Qin Zhenzhen about the Crown Prince's attempt to enlist him.

Analyzing the situation, Su Bin remarked, "If he's making this move, it must be because my exam results are quite impressive."

"At the very least, I should secure a place in the top three. That's why he's interested in bringing me on board."

"He might also be aware of what transpired before."

A faint smile played on Qin Zhenzhen's lips. Su Bin's self-assured demeanor could easily be misconstrued as arrogance by those unaware of the context. Had she not already foreseen the plot and known that he had clinched the first place in this year's capital examination, she might have been inclined to think similarly.

After all, securing a spot in the top three was no small feat.

"Wife, what's so amusing? Do you doubt my abilities and think I'm boasting?" Su Bin inquired.
