Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Let’s give it a try

"Why aren’t you speaking? You don’t want to cooperate with the Su family?" Su Yanyi looked at the silent Qin Jiran, guessing as she asked.

"Of course not, I’m just a bit confused as to why you would agree," Qin Jiran certainly didn’t want to give Su Yanyi the wrong impression that he couldn’t recognize a good opportunity. However, he didn’t want to gloss over the issue either and ultimately decided to make his thoughts clear.

"Why wouldn’t I agree?" This time it was Su Yanyi who was confused. She couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t agree to something so natural.

The two seemed to lack some tacit understanding, but luckily, they both had enough patience for each other. If something wasn’t clear, they’d simply ask and clarify, although such conversations that missed the crux of the matter still gave them both a bit of a headache.

Qin Jiran felt that he might have overlooked something. After seriously thinking over the sequence of events and considering Su Yanyi’s recent attitude toward him, a sudden epiphany struck him, highlighting an issue he had been ignoring all along.

"Yanyi, are you not planning to divorce me anymore?" Qin Jiran asked excitedly.

Qin Jiran thought about how, since the last time Su Yanyi brought up divorce but then changed her mind for some reason, her treatment of him seemed to have changed. Not only in terms of business, where she gave him the utmost support and assistance, but also in their personal lives. They were growing closer: eating together, commuting together, having conversations, caring for each other, and they had even shared a bed. These changes were welcomed with joy, yet he still treaded cautiously.

Remembering all this, Qin Jiran couldn’t help but speculate whether Yanyi, or rather their marriage, held even the slightest seriousness for her, as he hoped—perhaps she thought that they could be together forever?

Qin Jiran felt his heartbeat was becoming erratic again, but just the thought of Su Yanyi taking their marriage even a bit seriously made it impossible for him to calm down.

"Of course, didn’t I say so long ago?" Su Yanyi said matter-of-factly, unclear why Qin Jiran would suddenly ask such a question. But soon after, she frowned and looked at him discontentedly, wondering if he was still thinking about the divorce.

"What you said back then was to discuss the divorce later, not that we wouldn’t divorce," Qin Jiran’s voice was low. He remembered Su Yanyi’s words very clearly, and it was the source of his unease—fearing that she might think of divorce again, leaving him with no chance to make amends.

Su Yanyi glared at Qin Jiran, feeling like he was nitpicking on her words, but she couldn’t deny the truth either. She had to affirm seriously once more, "Then we won’t divorce, and we won’t bring it up again in the future."

After all, life with this man was not bad, and she felt that she would not trust any other man more than Qin Jiran in the future. Since that was the case, she naturally wouldn’t think about divorce. Having a sincere life with Qin Jiran was the best choice for both of them.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiran’s eyes lit up, and he stared straight at Su Yanyi, his tone extremely serious, "Are you serious?"

"Of course!" Su Yanyi always took her promises seriously.

Qin Jiran believed Su Yanyi but still had doubts. He really wanted to ask why she would agree not to divorce. The arrangement they had before marrying wasn’t like this. At that time, Su Yanyi had shown nothing but disgust, and he felt that given the chance, Yanyi would definitely escape such a marriage. Even until recently, he had the same impression, but now Su Yanyi’s significant change puzzled him greatly.

Was it enlightenment or the lack of it? Qin Jiran thought sarcastically. He felt like someone who had suddenly come into possession of a Cornucopia—he was extremely surprised but also couldn’t believe his luck, filled with doubts and insecurity.

"Yanyi, you’ve been so good to me recently that it’s made me misunderstand," Qin Jiran said, tentatively using a tone akin to joking, unsure if this kind of humor would irritate Su Yanyi.

"Misunderstand what?" Su Yanyi genuinely felt there was a disconnect between her and Qin Jiran. Why was their communication so poor? Many of his thoughts baffled her. How could being good to someone be misunderstood? What sort of logic was that?

"Misunderstand that you like me, haha, actually, I’m quite good, aren’t I? Why don’t we really give it a try? I’ll be a good husband," Qin Jiran’s heart thumped wildly as he kept his gaze on Su Yanyi’s face, his explanatory words ready at his lips. If Su Yanyi showed even a trace of disgust, he would immediately explain himself away.

Su Yanyi also looked at Qin Jiran, and after listening to his words, seemed to consider them seriously. Then, to Qin Jiran’s anxious anticipation, she nodded earnestly, agreeing, "You are good, so let’s give it a try. I will also strive to be a good wife."

Su Yanyi said this very seriously indeed, and in fact, she was serious. In her eyes, Qin Jiran was a good man, whether in temperament, appearance, abilities, achievements, or in his affections and care for her. She appreciated and was satisfied with all these aspects. Besides her father and brother, no other man could earn her praise as much as Qin Jiran did.

She was already intending to be with Qin Jiran and had been earnestly nurturing their marriage. In her heart, the relationship had long surpassed that of a mere contract, though she hadn’t openly acknowledged it. Now that Qin Jiran had brought it up, she naturally agreed.

As for the last part about becoming a good wife, Su Yanyi had also considered it carefully before speaking. It wasn’t said lightly. But the concept of a good wife varies from person to person. For Su Yanyi, the traditional image of being capable both in public and the household and being gentle and virtuous wasn’t necessarily what a good wife meant. To her, promising to protect this man’s peace of mind for a lifetime and wholeheartedly being with this man was sufficient to be a good wife.

Moreover, she was actively working to close the distance between them, being good to him in her own way, and using the opportunity to complete System tasks to increase and improve their interactions. She even went as far as to act cute to make him laugh, which was not easy. Even if she wasn’t yet a qualified good wife, she was on the edge of being one. With a bit more effort, she believed she certainly would be.
