Chapter 521: Chapter 520: Are You Really Sure, You Won’t Regret It? _1

Su Pan’er followed Qin Yi onto the dock, with Mrs. Zhang trailing behind. Beside her, were Mrs. Ru and Mrs. Ma.

Naturally, the men eventually came together at the front.

Meanwhile, their group of women walked towards the back, chattering away as though they were at the grocery market.

And surprisingly, this dock was bustling with activity, filled with people loading and unloading goods, it was quite the scene.

As they strolled along, they occasionally bought interesting trinkets and had their servants carry them.

Since Su Pan’er was pregnant, naturally, she walked in the forefront. And as to care for her, Qin Yi deliberately lingered behind, conveniently walking in step ahead of and behind her.

The group traveled leisurely and arrived at a gazebo where they decided to rest.

Meanwhile, the attention of Mrs. Zhang and others was drawn to the candy maker beneath the gazebo.

Seizing the opportunity when no one was paying attention, Qin Yi moved closer.

"Tired? Do you want to go for a stroll alone? We still have three days before the ship sails anyway. We have plenty of time to explore the place."

"What could be so fun in an unfamiliar place?"

Su Pan’er’s response was somewhat indifferent, giving him a cursory glance.

Observing Young Master Zhao sitting by himself under a big tree, Su Pan’er’s eyes glinted slightly. Turning her head, her gaze fell upon a vendor selling roast sweet potatoes beneath the gazebo, her eyes immediately lighting up.

"It seems like they are selling roast sweet potatoes down there? I’m hungry, can you go buy some for me!"

"You want to eat, Pan’er? Alright, just wait here for me. I’ll be back shortly."

Upon hearing her request, Qin Yi hurriedly went down to buy them.

What a reliable man!

Su Pan’er cast him a glance and then slowly walked towards Young Master Zhao.

"There sure are quite a few interesting trinkets sold at this place, Young Master Zhao. Don’t you plan on buying some to bring back for your younger siblings as souvenirs?"

"Mrs. Qin is too kind. "

Young Master Zhao smiled somewhat: "With so many younger siblings at home, deciding who to give presents to, what to give, and whether it’ll be liked or not, it’s all very bothersome. Better not to give anything at all. What does Mrs. Qin think?"

"Young Master Zhao certainly understands his siblings well!"

Su Pan’er squinted her eyes as she laughed.

On the contrary, Young Master Zhao stopped smiling and asked in a somewhat puzzled manner: "Does Mrs. Qin perhaps misunderstand me?"

He was certain his impressions weren’t mistaken. Mrs. Qin’s gaze always held an inspecting intent when directed at him.

It felt rather odd.

"Why would you say that, Young Master Zhao? Is there something I’ve done to give you the wrong impression?"

Su Pan’er feigned innocence: "It must have been when the merchant ship was attacked a while ago. Carrying a child, it’s only natural that I felt a bit paranoid. If I’ve caused any unnecessary misunderstandings for Young Master Zhao, I apologize."

With that, she courteously performed a curtsy.

"There’s no need for that, Mrs. Qin ..."

Young Master Zhao stood up to support her: "Brother Qin and I hit it off quite well from the start. There’s no need for you to be so formal, Mrs. Qin. Your politeness is making me blush."

"Thank you for your generous understanding, Young Master Zhao."

Su Pan’er stood up to thank him, her look curious: "Listening to your accent, it seems like you’re from the capital? We have met a few times already, yet we never asked for your formal name. That was very rude of me."

Young Master Zhao was taken aback, an odd look flashed across his eyes, followed by a subtle smile.

"Yes, I am indeed from Shengjing. My surname is Zhao, with a simple given name, Hong, and the styled name Boluan. All this while I didn’t inform Mrs. Qin ..."

Zhao Hong, Zhao Boluan?

Su Pan’er, not being a native of the Great Zhou Dynasty, naturally would not have heard of him. She thought about asking Qin Yi if he knew this Zhao Boluan when she returned.

"Young Master Zhao, my husband has often spoken highly of you these days, saying that you’re a man who can achieve great things. It’s truly an honor for my husband to know you! However, my husband and I are both content with a simple life and harbor no great ambitions. Therefore, if we disappoint you in the future, we hope you can be understanding."

The smile on Zhao Hong’s face instantly disappeared, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

"Mrs. Qin’s words feel somewhat strange to me! Although I have only known Brother Qin for a short time, I have sensed from our conversations over these days that he is a person with great ambitions who cares deeply about the welfare of the state and the people."

He spoke deliberately: "The words you said just now ... I assume you have not discussed them with Brother Qin, correct? A tiger fallen to level ground, a dragon trapped in shallow waters, once they find an opportunity, they can soar to great heights. Mrs. Qin, let me advise you, as a woman, you mustn’t let your private desires destroy your husband’s bright future!"

"Young Master Zhao, your words are amiss!"

Su Pan’er responded calmly: "As the saying goes, when they suddenly see the color of willows on the bank, they regret sending their husbands searching for glory and honor. What I want is for our family to be happy, with him, with me, with our child, and for us to live together, free from misery and disaster, to have a peaceful life. If we can achieve this, our life will be without regret."

"Heh, that might just be wishful thinking on your part, Mrs. Qin!"

There was a hint of cold derision on Zhao Hong’s face, both of them saw Qin Yi holding a package wrapped in oil-paper, his face full of joy as he headed towards the gazebo.

"Look, what’s the difference between the Qin Yi in front of you now and the Qin Yi who discusses court affairs and the vastness of the sky and sea? At the moment, he resembles an eaglet, who upon leaving its nest, could have its wings clipped by its wife. Do you truly think this is the life Brother Qin wanted?"

"Of course! He himself told me this is the life he wants!"

Su Pan’er confirmed decisively.

Zhao Hong opened his mouth wide, then sneered a few times: "Though I don’t know when Brother Qin made such a statement to you, I believe it must have been his true feelings. However, are you so sure that he will be content with an ordinary life, and not have any regrets when he grows old? As someone with the talent to accomplish great things and keep the country peaceful, if he idles away his life due to the allure of a woman, could you be sure that you wouldn’t regret it?"

Regret?

Su Pan’er tried to voice a reply several times, but the words lingered in her mouth.

However, they never came out.

Qin Yi was not her, she had lived two lives, always done what she wanted, acted on a whim.

But she never thought that one day when they had both aged, and were reminiscing about their youth, if he missed a golden opportunity because she held him back, would she blame herself for a lifetime!

A lifetime, such a long phrase!

A lifetime, such a short lifespan!

Three words that seemed light, yet were a heavy burden!

Looking at Qin Yi’s happy face as he waved to Zhao Hong, then hurried to bring the roast sweet potatoes to her, Su Pan’er felt incredibly confused!
