Chapter 639: The Female Lead in the Book (3)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Ruolan hailed from the modern special forces, equipped with a set of techniques for training elite units. She dedicated her efforts to assisting the Third Prince in cultivating a squad of divine soldiers—elusive, invincible, and unparalleled.
Later, the female protagonist stumbled upon treasures in the mountains, amassing wealth and acquiring fields far and wide. Her contributions and sacrifices played a pivotal role in the Third Prince’s bid to reclaim the throne. Su Ruolan, donning armor, fought side by side with the Third Prince, earning his profound appreciation. Eventually, he publicly declared that she would be the sole female lead in his harem.
Despite this, Qin Zhenzhen found it perplexing that the Third Prince displayed little emotional fluctuation upon hearing the name ‘Ruolan.’
“Miss Ruolan? Is Mrs. Su referring to the woman Brother Xiao saved?” he questioned.
This response left Qin Zhenzhen puzzled.
‘What transpired?’
Wasn’t it the Third Prince who rescued Su Ruolan?
Why did he attribute her rescue to Brother Xiao, the young leader of the martial arts world?
Qin Zhenzhen, wearing a smile, remarked, “So Miss Ruolan was saved by the leader of the martial arts world.’
She continued, “When I heard this name the other day, I found it quite pleasant. A girl with this name must be exceptionally beautiful.” “Ruolan is also the name of a medicinal herb.
“It conveys meanings of nobility, gentleness, modesty, kindness, and politeness. It signifies possessing talent without arrogance, harboring ambition without haughtiness, and feeling neither inferior nor superior.”
“The Third Prince must have encountered Miss Ruolan before. I wonder if she embodies these qualities?”
Qin Zhenzhen found herself compelled to provide a lengthy explanation to justify her recent inquiry. This tact served the dual purpose of avoiding any appearance of rudeness and discreetly gauging the Third Prince’s sentiments towards Su Ruolan.
Upon hearing her explanation, the Third Prince entered a contemplative silence. “Mrs. Su, you are indeed correct. Miss Ruolan holds profound significance, as you eloquently described.”
With that, the Third Prince offered no further comments, leaving Qin Zhenzhen to clandestinely scrutinize any shifts in his expression. To her surprise, there seemed to be no discernible change.
This perplexed her even more. Wasn’t the meeting of the male and female leads usually marked by intense chemistry? Why was the Third Prince so composed?
In her logical reasoning, the Third Prince, harboring affection for a woman, should feel no need to conceal anything in her presence.
After the departure of the Third Prince and Lin Yue, Su Bin eagerly seized Qin Zhenzhen and inquired, “Wife, how did you know about Miss Ruolan? You seem quite interested in her.”
Su Bin, adept at navigating the intricate dynamics of the three factions, sought information on palace activities, Public House and General Manor movements, as well as details about the Third Prince and the martial arts world leader. Qin Zhenzhen had previously emphasized the importance of scrutinizing those around the Third Prince, irrespective of their gender, urging Su Bin to conduct thorough investigations.
Despite Su Bin’s diligence in relaying information to Qin Zhenzhen, he remained oblivious to the intricate relationships, especially those involving women, surrounding the Third Prince—individuals driven by various interests.
Several women surrounded the leader of the martial arts world, displaying varying degrees of affection toward him. One was his junior sister, another his uncle’s daughter, and the third a recently introduced heroine.
However, Su Bin struggled to recall the names of these women. How, then, did his wife possess this information?
Indeed, Qin Zhenzhen had never inquired about the identity of the girl accompanying the leader of the martial arts world. She had never anticipated the appearance of the female protagonist, who was initially meant to be at the side of the Third Prince.
Ready with an excuse, Qin Zhenzhen replied, “I overheard the information from people at the teahouse..”
