Su Ning wasted no time in sharing the secret she had uncovered with Qin

Zhenzhen.

“Third Sister-in-law, I’ve confirmed that Sister Shanshan’s sweetheart is your fourth brother.’

“I had originally intended to uncover her secret, but she actually chose to reveal it to me intentionally.”

“Sister Shanshan is quite clever. She understands that I would undoubtedly inform you.”

Qin Zhenzhen was mentally prepared, so she didn’t find it surprising.

Su Bin had sharp instincts. Even she couldn’t always discern what was going on in Chen Shanshan’s mind, but he had a strong conviction.

“Third Sister-in-law, you are aware that your fourth brother has feelings for Sister Shanshan, right?”

Qin Zhenzhen smiled and shook her head. “I’m not entirely certain yet. I’ll need to ask him.”

“Thus, it’s crucial that you don’t let anyone else in on this, understood?” This matter directly pertained to Chen Shanshan’s reputation.

In ancient times, a woman openly declaring her affection for a man was considered scandalous.

If her fourth brother didn’t reciprocate those feelings for Chen Shanshan, this matter should remain confidential.

Su Ning nodded firmly. “I understand. Third Sister-in-law, you can trust me. I won’t breathe a word of it to anyone.”

“Even Third Brother won’t hear about it from me.

Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. “Your third brother has known about it for a while now.”

Qin Zhenzhen chose not to inform her parents about Chen Shanshan’s initial affection for Qin Silong. She believed that the key factor in this matter was her fourth brother’s stance.

If her fourth brother didn’t share similar feelings toward Chen Shanshan and had no intentions of marrying her, then her parents need not be informed. Qin Zhenzhen would do her best to console Chen Shanshan and help her move on quickly. She trusted that Chen Shanshan’s straightforward nature would prevent her from pursuing her fourth brother persistently.

Should her fourth brother reciprocate Chen Shanshan’s affections, there would still be ample time to disclose the matter to her parents.

Qin Zhenzhen dispatched her letter to Qin Silong through the Dragon Phoenix Hall, and it soon found its way into his hands.

Upon reading the letter, Qin Silong remained in a daze for quite some time before regaining his composure.

He was known for his bravery and straightforwardness. Throughout his time with Chen Shanshan, he had regarded her as a close friend due to her own frankness. He had never antic.i.p.ated that Chen Shanshan harbored romantic feelings for him.

Truthfully, he and Chen Shanshan had never experienced that kind of attraction toward each other, and the thought of marrying her had never crossed his mind.

However, he had never formed romantic connections with other women.

Now, he suddenly discovered that Chen Shanshan had feelings for him and had turned down other marriage proposals because of him.

Chen Shanshan hadn’t kept this revelation to herself; she had wisely shared the secret with his younger sister.

She was waiting for his response.

Chen Shanshan possessed a forthright and decisive personality, unafraid to express her affections and dislikes openly. Her bold and a.s.sertive nature was something he actually admired.

Yet, he also realized that he was seeking a life partner, not forming a brotherly bond.

For an entire day and night, Qin Silong pondered this situation. Eventually, he came to the conclusion that marrying Chen Shanshan was acceptable.

At the very least, he didn’t harbor any aversion towards her. Their marriage wouldn’t be rooted in mutual resentment.

Chen Shanshan’s parents were easy to get along with, and Uncle Chen had even provided a.s.sistance to their family in the past.

Qin Silong picked up a pen and penned a response to Qin Zhenzhen.

In his letter, he conveyed his willingness to marry Chen Shanshan.

As he read his message repeatedly, a feeling of unease began to gnaw at him.

He couldn’t help but wonder if this decision was fair to Chen Shanshan. She held such deep affection for him, and he didn’t feel compelled to marry her.

He worried that he might not be able to reciprocate her feelings to the same extent..
