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

Ye Bai is still enjoying the novelty of chatting on his phone and is currently in a cringeworthy, internet-addicted phase.

He found it quite interesting to chat randomly online when no one knew anyone else.

Because you can say whatever you want without any reservations.

The fact that the other person is a "little fangirl" who showers him with compliments makes the chat even more enjoyable.

At first, Ye Bai suspected that the other party was Shen Lu, but during the walk just now, he confirmed that the "little fangirl" had nothing to do with her.

Shen Lu had never even seen the number before.

This put Ye Bai at ease, as long as it wasn't someone he knew.

"Why sleep so much before death, when you will sleep forever after death?"

Ye Bai typed out the pinyin one by one with "one-finger typing," producing more than a dozen characters in a minute, a significant improvement over the last time.

As for why he used this sentence to reply, it's because his master liked to mutter this sentence when he stayed up late at night, and he would even keep Ye Bai from sleeping.

I've heard it so many times that my ears are practically calloused, so naturally, I remember it all very well.

"...Can't you even speak properly?"

On the other end of the phone in the next room, Qin Wanqing gritted her teeth, wanting to question him, but after thinking about it, she deleted the message she had typed and sent a different one instead.

"Wow, brother, you're so insightful! You're like a philosopher!"

It's disgusting, I feel like throwing up.

Qin Wanqing still doesn't understand why she has to suffer like this.

I get annoyed by this guy during the day, and I get disgusted by him at night.

What terrible things have they done?!

She even had countless impulses to run up to Ye Bai, smash her phone in his face, and yell, "I'm not playing with you anymore!" to enjoy his shocked and ashamed reaction.

But considering that she had not yet achieved her goal, she could only decide to endure it a little longer.

"Philosophy is an integral part of Taoist thought."

Ye Bai curled his lip; he had always been dismissive of the idea that philosophy originated in the West, a view held by many.

In terms of cultural origins, China is the father of all countries in the world.

"Yeah, you're right, young man. Taoism is the most amazing! But does that mean Taoists can't get married?"

"Yes, you can marry one. I just got married."

"Waaaaah, you're married already, bro! I'm so heartbroken! I wonder which lady is so lucky."

"Then you must be very lucky to marry me, the one in ten thousand chosen one. That would be the greatest blessing imaginable."

"I'm going crazy..." Qin Wanqing felt like she was going to go crazy again. She really couldn't stand Ye Bai's self-satisfied face.

Chatting with this guy is pure torture.

But for some inexplicable reason, she sent another message.

"Hey handsome, can you tell me about that lucky lady? Isn't she exceptionally outstanding, stunningly beautiful, virtuous, gentle, and lovely?"

"Aside from being unreasonable, stingy, and having a bad temper like a tigress, she's alright..."

Snapped!

Qin Wanqing could no longer hold back and slammed her phone onto the bed, her beautiful eyes practically spitting fire.

This is really impossible to talk to today!

She truly hadn't expected that she would have so many flaws in Ye Bai's eyes.

She could almost smell that disgust through the screen!

After taking deep breaths for ten minutes, Qin Wanqing finally suppressed the urge to rush out and bang on the door, and typed out another sentence.

"Ah, since you described that woman as so terrible, why did you choose to marry her? This kind of unhappy marriage will eventually end in divorce, even if you just make do with it, right?"

At this moment, Qin Wanqing suddenly had a premonition that she might be able to get the truth about this substitute marriage from Ye Bai.

In fact, even if Zhao Chengfeng hadn't said those words before, she had always been wondering why Ye Bai would agree to marry her in place of Ye Xuanyuan, even though he knew she was destined to bring misfortune to her husbands.

Simply explaining it as repaying a debt of gratitude to the Ye family is clearly not plausible.

After visiting the Ye family, she understood better than anyone how cold-hearted the Ye family was towards their adopted son, Ye Bai.

Moreover, Ye Xuanyuan's attitude further reveals how low Ye Bai's status is in the Ye family.

Such a heartless and ungrateful Ye family is not worth Ye Bai risking being cursed to death to take his place in a marriage.

Especially from this period of contact and understanding, although Ye Bai does not care how the Ye family treats him, he is by no means the kind of person who is blindly filial.

So what exactly is this guy's purpose in marrying her?

For her beauty? The so-called "dying under a peony flower is still romantic even as a ghost"?

That possibility does exist, after all, men are all driven by lust, and none of them are good.

But if this guy had even a little bit of sense, he should have been able to see that it was impossible for her to have any intimate relationship with him.

Holding hands is already the limit, kissing is absolutely out of the question, let alone anything else!

Was it for the money?

Qin Wanqing considered this the most likely possibility.

Ever since Ye entered the Qin family, he and she have been talking about money all the time, though not constantly.

She's a total money-grubber.

In just one week, they took more than two million yuan from her.

But Qin Wanqing didn't have much of an aversion to it.

Because, aside from the fact that they are husband and wife, Ye Bai truly deserves this money.

In fact, she gave far less than that.

Before meeting Ye Bai, if someone could cure her paralyzed legs, she would have given them not just two million, but even twenty million, two hundred million, or even two billion or two hundred billion without hesitation!

Therefore, if Ye Bai's marriage to her was truly only for money, that would be the least of Qin Wanqing's concerns.

As the Queen of Jingzhou and a female CEO with assets exceeding 100 billion, the one thing she has in abundance is money.

But Qin Wanqing always felt that the truth couldn't be that simple.

Making money but not living to enjoy it is equally meaningless.

Unless this guy is already terminally ill and doesn't have long to live, he won't care about these things.

She doesn't care that this marriage will never have anything to do with love, but she has to consider the possibility that others might have ulterior motives.

She and the Qin family have so many things that others would covet.

This is also why she agreed to the marriage alliance with the Ye family in the first place.

Besides wanting to shut some people up, it was also to completely extinguish everyone's hopes.

Numerous thoughts flashed through Qin Wanqing's mind. At this moment, she was not only looking forward to it, but also starting to feel nervous.

"Divorce is out of the question. She's the only one for me in this life!"

Ye Bai typed clumsily, but after thinking for a while, he still didn't type out the explanation for the sentence, "I can only spend the money I earn from this woman. I'm afraid I can only find one like her in this lifetime. Where else can I find such a good sugar daddy after leaving her?"

Not only is this kind of thing incomprehensible to ordinary people, but more importantly, typing so many words is just too much effort.

They had only exchanged a few words when his fingers started to cramp.

Qin Wanqing had no idea about any of this. Upon seeing this answer, her delicate body trembled violently, and her mind went completely blank.

It felt as if someone had struck her heart with a hammer...
