Chapter 590: Drunk
Initially, Su Bin found Qin Sanlong’s behavior peculiar, sensing an underlying animosity. However, he couldn’t recall any specific incident where he might have offended Qin Sanlong. If there were objections, it could only be linked back to when Qin Zhenzhen first married him.
As their relationship improved over time, the entire Qin family, except for Qin Sanlong, celebrated the newfound harmony. But as Su Bin indulged in a few glasses of wine, he grasped Qin Sanlong’s unspoken message – his brother-in-law held him responsible for his wife’s swift pregnancy.
Indeed, Su Bin was culpable. If he hadn’t insisted on Qin Zhenzhen faking her pregnancy, she might not have independently decided to discontinue contraception.
Silently gazing at Qin Zhenzhen’s distended belly, Su Bin comprehended the cause of Qin Sanlong’s reproach. Without waiting for further persuasion, he lifted his wine glass and spoke to Qin Sanlong, "I recognize my shortcomings and the suffering I’ve caused my wife. I’m willing to punish myself with three cups!"
It was at this moment that Qin Zhenzhen realized the true issue at hand. She understood that her Third Brother pitied her and devised this drinking challenge to potentially inebriate Su Bin. Touched by Su Bin’s willingness to accept the self-imposed penalty, she couldn’t help but find the situation rather amusing. Why were Third Brother and Su Bin being so childishly dramatic? Having children was a natural aspect of life, and in this world, she was already of an age where childbirth was expected. Such theatrics seemed unnecessary.
While Qin Zhenzhen refrained from openly intervening, she recognized the need to maintain harmony. Since everyone else was content, she decided to let the matter rest.
Su Bin was indeed intoxicated, and Qin Sanlong found himself in a similar state.
