After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

Qin Wanqing sat in a wheelchair, being pushed by Ye Bai, and no one could tell that anything was wrong.

She can actually walk normally now, but she can't walk too fast or run.

So after signing the agreement with Qin Yuezhu and the others, Qin Wanqing planned to stand up and enjoy the terrified faces of the Qin family's higher-ups.

But Ye Bai not only stopped her, but also made her continue to pretend to be paralyzed.

Qin Wanqing couldn't guess what this ruthless sixth brother was planning to do, but she vaguely felt that he probably still wanted to scheme against people.

So, considering that the other party had cured her legs, she reluctantly agreed.

Fortunately, the feeling of being truly paralyzed and pretending to be paralyzed are completely different. Qin Wanqing even felt a novel and exciting sensation that she had never experienced before, so she was happy to cooperate.

"Hiss, this...this is Ye Bai?"

As Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing got out of the car, everyone in the Ye family widened their eyes and stood frozen in place.

Even Ye Wentian, who is the most cunning and calculating, is no exception.

There was no way around it; the tall, handsome young man in front of them was far too different from the Ye Bai they remembered.

If it weren't for the fact that the face was still familiar, they would have thought that the person in front of them was a young master from a wealthy family!

This high-end outfit made even Ye Xuanyuan, who was always known for his meticulous dressing, look somewhat inferior!

This adopted son of the Ye family, after going to the Qin family, suddenly turned his life around and became a dragon among men.

"Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Eldest Brother..."

Ye Bai greeted Ye Wentian and the others with a smile, then patted Qin Wanqing on the shoulder and said, "Wanqing, greet them."

...I'll fucking smack you in the face!

Qin Wanqing, who was originally in a good mood, gritted her teeth once again.

It's one thing to call her by her name affectionately, but to act like she's in charge is really annoying.

"Uncle Ye, Aunt Yang..."

As someone from one of the most prestigious families in Jingzhou, Qin Wanqing was well-mannered and tolerated it.

She simply ignored Ye Xuanyuan and Yang Guangyao.

The Ye family's flip-flopping regarding this marriage was truly disgusting. If it weren't for Ye Bai's sake, she wouldn't even bother with Ye Wentian and his wife.

Ye Wentian frowned, clearly displeased with Qin Wanqing's way of addressing him.

Ye Xuanyuan and Yang Guangyao, who were being ignored, had even darker expressions.

Yang Fenglan, however, didn't care about any of this and said warmly, "Come inside quickly, Wanqing isn't feeling well, don't catch a cold."

The banquet arranged by the Ye family was extremely lavish, and all the elders of the Ye family were present.

Regardless of the circumstances, the Qin family must be given due respect.

Even the Ye family members, like everyone else, believed that Qin Wanqing could not recover her health and would no longer be able to take charge of the Ye family.

But superficial efforts still need to be made.

In high society circles, hypocrisy and ruthlessness are the main themes.

"Alas, what a pity. Wanqing is so young and beautiful, yet she will spend her whole life in a wheelchair..."

After a few rounds of drinks, Yang Fenglan's eyes reddened with sadness.

She was initially very satisfied with Qin Wanqing and wholeheartedly wanted her to become her daughter-in-law.

Unexpectedly, fate played a cruel trick on Qin Wanqing, who became paralyzed, resulting in the current situation.

Although an adopted son is nominally a son, it goes without saying which is more important, an adopted son or a biological son.

"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Yang."

Qin Wanqing smiled faintly, her face calm.

In the past, such words would have indeed had an impact on her.

But she's recovered now, so it doesn't matter anymore.

"Wanqing, your leg... is it really not going to get better?"

Looking at Qin Wanqing's exquisite and beautiful face, Ye Xuanyuan's eyes flashed with a mixture of fervor and regret.

Marrying Qin Wanqing was every man's dream in Jingzhou, and he was no exception.

In fact, even after Qin Wanqing became paralyzed, Ye Xuanyuan did not intend to give up the engagement.

Paralyzed, not disfigured, he was still able to enjoy her company.

Just thinking about that scene is incredibly exciting.

But when Ye Xuanyuan heard that Qin Wanqing's paralysis was caused by her husband-killing fate, and that whoever married her would die within three months, he instantly deflated.

No matter how beautiful Qin Wanqing is, she can't be more important than his own life.

Even though he had chosen to give up, Ye Xuanyuan's lustful heart couldn't help but stir again when he saw Qin Wanqing.

"Whether it's good or bad has nothing to do with you."

Qin Wanqing snorted coldly, showing no politeness towards Ye Xuanyuan.

Ye Xuanyuan choked, forcing a smile, "I was just concerned about you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Wanqing coldly interrupted him again: "Mr. Ye Xuanyuan, please have some self-respect. I am now your brother's wife, and I have no need for your concern!"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere at the banquet instantly became strange, and many people exchanged bewildered glances.

Ye Wentian's face turned ashen, and he snapped at Ye Xuanyuan, "Shut up! If you don't want to eat, get out!"

If word got out that the Ye family's own son had illicit feelings for the wife of the Ye family's adopted son, the entire Ye family would become a laughingstock in Jingzhou!

"My wife is so good. Come here, let your husband feed you chicken."

Ye Bai, who hadn't spoken for a while, suddenly laughed, picked up a sliced ​​chicken leg, and started showing off his affection in front of everyone.

At the same time, he didn't forget to pull up his sleeves, making the Patek Philippe watch even more dazzling under the light.

"I'm stuffed!"

Seeing this, Ye Xuanyuan could no longer hold back. He snorted angrily, got up, and left.

……

"You used to live in places like this?"

After dinner, Ye Bai pushed Qin Wanqing to his room in the Ye family home.

Upon seeing it clearly, Qin Wanqing frowned, her pretty face filled with disbelief.

The room wasn't in the main building of the Ye family villa, but in a side room on the east side.

The area is not large, only about twenty or thirty single-story houses.

The furnishings were very simple, with hardly any decent furniture.

Undoubtedly, these rooms were normally used for servants to live in.

Even though Ye Bai is an adopted son of the Ye family, he is still considered a young master.

Living in a place like this is truly unexpected.

"There's nothing wrong with this place, at least it's much better than the mountains. Besides, I might not be able to come back for several years, so having a place to stay is enough."

Ye Bai smiled, not taking it to heart.

"Hehe, you're really generous!"

Qin Wanqing sneered, her disgust for the Ye family growing stronger.

Ye Wentian has always had an excellent reputation among the wealthy families of Jingzhou.

Kind-hearted, loyal, and a man of his word...

But now it's clear that this isn't the case.

He acts one way in public and another way in private; a classic hypocrite!

"What's there to tidy up here? Just throw away your tattered clothes."

Seeing Ye Bai start to get busy, Qin Wanqing said unhappily.

"Clothes don't matter, it's these books that are the main thing."

Ye Bai smiled and shook his head, then took out two large leather suitcases from under the bed and carefully packed all the books on the bookshelf into them.

"...You still like reading?"

Qin Wanqing was somewhat surprised and curiously picked up a book.

The book is not thick, but it has a lot of weight to it.

The paper is yellowed and looks very old.

Qin Wanqing was dumbfounded when she saw the words on the book cover.

She was certain it was four characters, but she couldn't make out what they were at all.

It can only be vaguely discerned that it appears to be Small Seal script.

Unconvinced, Qin Wanqing slowly opened the book.

After a long pause, she couldn't help but look at Ye Bai and ask, "Can you understand these characters?"

After a tremendous effort, her eyes were starting to hurt, and she could only barely recognize a few words.

Because they are not connected, their meaning is completely unclear.

"sure."

Ye Bai nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Then, he noticed Qin Wanqing's expression and couldn't help but laugh, "This is Qin Zhuan, it's normal that you don't understand it."

"...Hey, Mr. Ye, are you mocking me for being uncultured?" Qin Wanqing's pretty face turned cold.

Ye Bai comforted him, "Don't feel inferior. There are many uneducated people in this world, you're not the only one."

Ignoring Qin Wanqing, who was about to explode, Ye Bai's gaze fell on the books, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

"Two more books are missing!"

……

After filling both suitcases to the brim, the Ye family's butler arrived and invited Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing to rest.

Even if Qin Wanqing no longer possesses the power of the Queen of Jingzhou, she is still the eldest daughter of the Qin family.

The Ye family certainly wouldn't dare let him and Ye Bai stay in such a place, so they prepared a separate room for them.

They even pasted big red "double happiness" characters on the door and walls, making it a standard new house.

"Wanqing, I'm so sorry for neglecting you this time. I really didn't have time to prepare. Please don't be upset..."

Yang Fenglan kept apologizing, looking very guilty.

Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing's return was too sudden; even a wealthy family like the Ye family was caught off guard.

More importantly, they all thought that after the Ye family sent Ye Bai to stand in for the bride, Qin Wanqing and the Qin family would be furious and might tear up the engagement on the spot.

Even after learning that Qin Wanqing was going back to the Ye family with Ye Bai, the Ye family's reaction was to have this Miss Qin come and interrogate them.

It wasn't until dinner that they realized that although Qin Wanqing was unhappy with the arranged marriage, she had no intention of breaking it off.

Therefore, Yang Fenglan hurriedly sent people to prepare the new house, and it was naturally difficult not to be in a rush.

"Aunt Yang, you're too kind."

Qin Wanqing shook her head and pushed the wheelchair into the room.

"I'll sleep in the bed, you find somewhere else to sleep."

Seeing that there was only one bed in the room, Qin Wanqing began to make arrangements.

Before Ye Bai could offer his opinion, the knocking on the door rang again.

"Wanqing, I want to talk to you for a few minutes."

Ye Xuanyuan's voice came from outside the door.
