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

If she had a choice, Qin Shuang would rather die than beg this despicable guy for help.

Unfortunately, she had no choice.

Although she initially thought Ye Bai was deliberately fooling her, as time went on, Qin Shuang inexplicably became more and more panicked.

People have always preferred to believe in supernatural or mystical things.

Moreover, girls her age are naturally not very brave.

However, these are not the key reasons.

It was mainly because of what her own mother said.

"Don't go back to school for the next few days, and don't go out. Just stay home."

"Otherwise, you'll be responsible for any consequences if anything goes wrong!"

Normally, Qin Shuang wouldn't have taken Chen Jingmei's words to heart.

But her mother, who usually never cared about her, suddenly adopted this attitude today, which was undoubtedly very strange.

Then Qin Shuang recalled the scene of Ye Bai "scaring" her during the day and couldn't help but ask, "Mom, you're not going to tell me that I'm going to have a bloody disaster, are you?"

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Chen Jingmei's eyes, and she said calmly, "Who ever said that to you?"

"That guy surnamed Ye!"

Qin Shuang angrily began to complain, deliberately embellishing the story to vividly portray Ye Bai's despicable nature.

To her surprise, Chen Jingmei was not angry after hearing this; instead, she looked thoughtful.

Finally, Chen Jingmei told Qin Shuang to go find Ye Bai and see if he really had a way to solve the problem.

So, no matter how unwilling Qin Shuang was, she had no choice but to come over, even if she didn't want to.

"I can help you, but why should I? Didn't you swear before that you'd rather die than beg me?"

Ye Bai laughed.

He certainly wouldn't be so petty as to hold a grudge against a little girl, but having the opportunity to tease her was a very enjoyable thing.

"I...I can give you money!"

Seeing Ye Bai's grinning and irreverent expression, Qin Shuang was seething with hatred, but for the sake of her own life, she had no choice but to temporarily submit.

"Money is fleeting. Am I that vulgar? Call me brother-in-law first."

Ye Bai shook his head, looking as if he regarded money as dirt.

If someone earns other people's money, they can't spend it; what's the point?

"You surnamed Ye! Don't go too far!"

Qin Shuang was so angry that her pretty face turned red, and her beautiful eyes almost spit fire.

His angry expression did bear a resemblance to Qin Wanqing's.

The little girl was completely enraged.

The reason she brought up money so directly was that she didn't want to have any other relationship with Ye Bai.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to just use the older sister to pressure the other party?

Unexpectedly, this adopted son of the Ye family went too far!

I wanted to give you money, but you want to be my brother-in-law?

It's like a dream!

"You don't want to call me that, right? Okay, I won't force you. Goodnight then."

Ye Bai closed the door directly.

The reason he made this request was certainly not because he genuinely wanted to be the other person's brother-in-law.

But this little girl always says "a toad trying to eat swan meat," which is really annoying.

It's truly satisfying to see someone contradict themselves.

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang again.

The voice, which was originally normal, now seemed to carry a hint of humiliation.

When Ye Bai opened the door, Qin Shuang stared at him with reddened eyes, stammering, "Brother-in-law..."

After uttering those two words with all her might, Qin Shuang was so ashamed that she almost buried her chin in her arms, looking like a little quail.

There's no way around it, this is just too embarrassing.

Fortunately, there was no one else nearby, otherwise Qin Shuang felt she would never be able to hold her head up high again.

The feeling of having to submit to the person she despises the most is maddening.

"Oh, good boy! Okay, here's a talisman, take it and wear it close to your body."

"Remember, even when you're taking a shower or going to bed, never take it off."

Ye Bai nodded in satisfaction and handed Qin Shuang a slightly yellowed and worn talisman.

"You surnamed Ye! I'll never forgive you! This isn't over!"

Qin Shuang took the amulet and ran away, waving her little fist fiercely as she did so.

Having received the goods, the proud and arrogant Miss Qin, just like Qin Wanqing, naturally revealed her true colors.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that the task of training this girl is still a long and arduous one."

Ye Bai smacked his lips, but was too lazy to argue.

Even if Qin Shuang didn't come to beg him tonight, he couldn't just stand by and watch her get into trouble.

……

The Qin family's large villa.

"Mom, this is the amulet that guy surnamed Ye gave me. He said wearing it would ward off disasters and misfortunes. I seriously suspect he's just trying to fool me. That guy is the worst..."

Qin Shuang handed the amulet to Chen Jingmei, her little mouth chattering incessantly, criticizing Ye Bai in various ways.

There was no other way; I was forced to call him "brother-in-law," and that sealed the deal.

Moreover, after leaving Ye Bai, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

This seemingly tattered thing could save her life? Where's the science in that?

That is to say, Chen Jingmei is her biological mother; otherwise, she would have suspected that the two of them were conspiring to deceive her in order to put her under house arrest.

“That’s interesting…then put it on as he instructed.”

Chen Jingmei took the amulet and examined it carefully, her eyes becoming deep.

"...Mom, do you really think this amulet is effective?"

Qin Shuang was dumbfounded.

"If you believe, it exists; if you don't believe, it doesn't. Anyway, there's no harm in it."

Chen Jingmei said calmly.

……

Ye Bai was lying in bed, chatting with his "little fangirl".

The topic of conversation was about ideals.

After beginning to suspect that the "little fangirl" might actually be a burly man, Ye Bai originally didn't want to talk to her anymore.

But he couldn't resist the urge to chat online, and since the other party was so proactive, Ye Bai still enthusiastically chose to chat with them.

Since we're not going to meet in real life anyway, there's no need to worry about any potential clashes.

"Brother, what is your dream?"

"As for me, I just sleep until I naturally wake up and count money until my hands cramp up."

"...Brother's ideal is really simple! But why not to wield power over the world while awake and rest one's head on a beautiful woman's lap while drunk? Shouldn't that be a man's ultimate dream?"

"I have no interest in power. As for women... well, I'm not interested in women."

"Not interested in women? Then why did you get married? Was the woman not pretty enough, not attractive enough?"

"She's probably asexual. But that's perfect, I'm not interested in her either, this is a match made in heaven!"

Snapped!

Qin Wanqing slammed her phone onto the bed again, cursing through gritted teeth.

"You're the one who's frigid! Your whole family is frigid! And you dare say you're not interested in me? Who do you think you are!"

"I have absolutely no interest in you! Even if you stood naked in front of me, I wouldn't give you a second glance!"

As she cursed, Qin Wanqing suddenly remembered Ye Bai's well-proportioned and fit physique when he had just finished showering that day, especially with his body partially covered and partially exposed...

Then, Queen Qin suddenly felt her face flush and ears burn for no apparent reason...
