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

"I heard you had a very pleasant meeting with Zhu Daji today..."

Qin Wanqing spoke softly as she elegantly brewed tea.

Ye Bai was taken aback, then turned to look at Shen Lu.

The little girl subconsciously shrank her neck and began to look around, her eyes wandering.

This guilty conscience undoubtedly confirms that it was this little traitor who tipped them off.

"They had a really good chat; Zhu Daji has quite the sweet tongue."

Ye Bai smiled and nodded, then picked up a cup of tea without any hesitation and drank it.

"Oh ho, you two even kissed, huh? You got to taste it?"

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"What?"

Ye Bai almost spat out the tea he had just drunk, and was stunned for a moment.

Shen Lu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then, realizing it was inappropriate, she quickly covered her mouth, her pretty face turning bright red.

"...Are you jealous?"

Ye Bai looked at Qin Wanqing with a strange expression.

Even if you've never eaten pork, you've at least seen pigs run.

Having been taught countless tips on picking up girls by the old master, Ye Bai always considered himself an expert in this area.

"You're overthinking it. Someone like Zhu Daji doesn't even deserve to be compared to me!"

Queen Qin gave a cold snort, exuding arrogance.

"Hmm, that's true. I'm not like you, with small breasts and a big temper."

Ye Bai muttered something under his breath.

In terms of appearance alone, Qin Wanqing was naturally superior to Zhu Daji.

However, she is somewhat inferior in terms of physique.

Both are equally stunning in terms of slim waist, long legs, and perky buttocks.

However, in terms of size in the chest area, they are not in the same league at all.

Queen Qin wasn't actually that young, but compared to Youzi, Chengzi would always always be just a little sister.

"Hey, you surnamed Ye! Who are you calling small-chested?"

Although Ye Bai's voice wasn't loud, Qin Wanqing had very sharp ears, so she immediately bristled.

If she were to be outshone by Zhu Daji in other aspects, perhaps it would be somewhat tolerable.

But this is something I absolutely cannot tolerate!

Not smashing the teapot over Ye Bai's face was already the greatest restraint one could muster.

"Um... I didn't lock my car door, I'll go down and check."

Shen Lu quickly made her escape.

When gods fight, it's very likely that she, a mortal, will suffer the consequences.

Especially since both the young lady and the son-in-law are family, they are equally dear to her, and it would be even more troublesome if she were forced to take sides.

If Ye Bai had just arrived at the Qin family, she would definitely have stood on the young lady's side without hesitation.

However, as their contact increased, although she wouldn't betray him, she couldn't help the young lady bully the young master anymore.

"Look at you, you're getting angry again. From a medical point of view, constantly getting angry will only cause hyperplasia, not increase its size."

Ye Bai slowly sipped his tea, patiently explaining medical theories to Qin Wanqing.

"Shut up!"

Qin Wanqing's chest began to heave, not to prove that she was not small, but purely because she was annoyed by Ye Bai.

"By the way, what exactly did you call me over here for?"

Knowing that things were going well, Ye Bai decided to stop and changed the subject.

"...Your rambling almost made me forget the important matter."

Qin Wanqing glared at Ye Bai, and her anger finally subsided a bit.

Ye Bai's lips twitched again, thinking to himself that Queen Qin's unreasonable behavior was truly something else.

You were the one who brought it up first, but now you're blaming me.

My own "little fangirl" is still the best; she's gentle, obedient, and adorable.

The only downside is that he might be a burly man picking his toes.

Or... how about we not be so strict about gender?

But what if, as they say, the thing they pull out is bigger than themselves?

While Ye Bai was lost in thought, Qin Wanqing took a deep breath and said, "It's the weekend today. Go pick up Xiaoshuang for me, and then we'll go to Aunt Chen's for dinner tonight."

"...Is that all? You could have just said it on the phone. Why did Lulu and I have to come all the way here?"

Ye Bai looked suspicious, feeling that Queen Qin was obviously looking for an excuse to deliberately torment him.

Moreover, picking someone up is a trivial matter that any Qin family driver or bodyguard could easily handle.

The "Xiao Shuang" that Qin Wanqing mentioned was her half-sister, Qin Shuang, the second young lady of the Qin family.

"Aunt Chen" is the second wife who eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist prayers every day, and is Qin Wanqing's stepmother.

Although it was a formal marriage at the time, Qin Wanqing never changed her address for the second wife after she entered the family.

They should only address her as "Auntie," not "Stepmother."

"I have some things here, could you please take them with you while you're at it?"

This time, Qin Wanqing didn't argue with Ye Bai. Instead, she took out a bag from under her desk.

“Xiaoshuang has a classmate named Han Mengmeng. Give her this bag and tell her it's a gift I promised to give her.”

Ye Bai took the bag, nodded, and said, "Okay."

……

"Hey? Isn't this our Qin family's new son-in-law? He's been coming to the group headquarters quite often lately!"

"What? Are you planning to start working here? Giving us a performance of 'the wife sings in harmony with the husband'?"

As soon as Ye Bai stepped out of Qin Wanqing's office, a sarcastic voice reached his ears.

It was Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang, a married couple, who ran into him.

Upon seeing Ye Bai, the couple's eyes were filled with hostility.

Being tricked by Ye Bai into betting on equity was the most brainless thing they had ever done in their lives.

Although he is now defaulting on his debt and refusing to fulfill the bet, he can no longer look at Ye Bai with favor.

"Third Aunt, you're overthinking it. Your Qin Group is too small to accommodate a great deity like me."

Ye Bai chuckled, but wasn't annoyed.

"...Are you out of your mind? You think our Qin Group isn't good enough for you?"

Qin Yuezhu was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped. She turned to look at Zhao Jianqiang, only to find that he was also completely dumbfounded.

There's no way around it; this adopted son of the Ye family really doesn't play by the rules.

To complain that the Qin Group's temple is too small and then call oneself a "great god"—only someone with a very abnormal mind would say such a thing.

"Shamelessness knows no bounds! I don't know who gave you the courage to say such arrogant things."

After regaining his senses, Zhao Jianqiang let out a strange laugh, the mockery on his face almost tangible.

"It doesn't matter whether I have courage or not, but you, Uncle, certainly don't lack courage."

Ye Bai looked at Zhao Jianqiang carefully, grinned, and revealed a set of big white teeth.

"...What do you mean? Let me tell you, stop playing tricks on me!"

Zhao Jianqiang was puzzled, but Ye Bai's somewhat eerie smile gave him the creeps.

"It's a pity, it's just that my third aunt has suffered."

Ye Bai shook his head and sighed softly, then said, "I have other matters to attend to. See you later, Aunt and Uncle."

"...Zhao Jianqiang, aren't you hiding something from me?"

Qin Yuezhu's face darkened, and she looked at Zhao Jianqiang and asked in a cold voice.

Ye Bai's words seemed nonsensical at first glance, but the more you thought about them, the more you felt there was something fishy going on.

Qin Yuezhu, being naturally suspicious, immediately began to doubt Zhao Jianqiang.

"Honey, you actually believe that guy's nonsense! He's clearly just trying to stir things up..."

Zhao Jianqiang broke out in a cold sweat and quickly shook his head in denial.

"Third Aunt, please give my Third Uncle more nourishing food these days. Judging from his face, he's destined to be a womanizer!"

Before Zhao Jianqiang could finish speaking, Ye Bai's voice came from afar again.

"Zhao Jianqiang, you fucking cheated on me! Tell me! What exactly happened?"

Qin Yuezhu's expression changed drastically, and she slapped Zhao Jianqiang across the face!

Snapped!

A sharp cracking sound, followed by a scream, echoed throughout the corridor...
