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

"Hurry up and get dressed, come with me! Something's happened to Xiaoshuang!"

Outside the door stood Qin Wanqing, her pretty face filled with panic and worry, anxiously urging them on.

"...What could possibly happen to her?"

Ye Bai was still a little groggy. Being suddenly woken up from his sleep like this, his mind was still a bit foggy.

"Get dressed first, we'll talk on the way."

Qin Wanqing didn't have time to explain and went to the garage to get her car first.

Shen Lu lived with Old Madam Qin, and she was afraid of frightening her grandmother, so she couldn't invite Shen Lu along and had to act as the driver herself.

"You said Xiaoshuang went to the hospital? That shouldn't be the case. Did she throw away her amulet?"

On the way, Ye Bai finally figured out what had happened, but he became even more puzzled.

Qin Shuang's accident tonight was within his expectations.

But with a talisman, the other party can be fully protected.

"...Can you please stop mentioning your lousy talisman? If you hadn't fooled her, Xiaoshuang might not have gotten into this mess!"

Upon hearing the words "amulet," Qin Wanqing became furious.

Ye Bai's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't argue with Qin Wanqing.

Because of his concern for Qin Shuang, Queen Qin was on the verge of exploding, so it was best for him not to provoke her.

"Xiaoshuang, are you alright?"

As she jogged to the hospital ward entrance, Qin Wanqing spotted Qin Shuang at a glance.

"Sister, I...I'm fine..."

Qin Shuang's face was pale, devoid of any color, and she looked somewhat dazed, clearly terrified.

There was nothing she could do. Even though several hours had passed, Qin Shuang still felt weak all over and her calves were cramping slightly when she recalled the scene from before.

It’s so scary!

They and their group of classmates and friends were having a great time at a high-end karaoke bar.

Suddenly, the large chandelier on the ceiling fell down, crushing them inside.

The moment the chandelier crashed down, Qin Shuang experienced the taste of death for the first time in her life.

But just when she was in despair, a scene she would never forget appeared.

Her body miraculously passed through the gap between the two huge glass spheres of the chandelier.

Unscathed!

As for the others, none of them were spared.

The two people closest to her were seriously injured and are still in critical condition!

In that fleeting moment after surviving the ordeal, Qin Shuang vaguely felt a cracking sound coming from something on her body.

So, in a daze, she pulled out the amulet Ye Bai had given her, only to find it had shattered into dust...

Even if Qin Shuang had a small brain, she realized that Ye Bai had not lied to her.

Without that talisman, she would definitely be among those being rescued right now...

"...You mean, Ye Bai's talisman saved your life?"

After Qin Shuang finished recounting what had happened, Qin Wanqing's expression was incredibly interesting.

She never imagined that the amulets she had previously looked down upon would actually have such miraculous effects!

But how could something that defies science possibly exist?

Qin Wanqing couldn't understand it. She felt that ever since Ye Bai entered the Qin family, her preconceived notions were being overturned day by day!

"I told you nothing would happen."

Ye Bai muttered something under his breath.

He was sound asleep in the middle of the night when Qin Wanqing dragged him to the hospital, which naturally annoyed him.

Of course, most importantly, he believed in the power of the amulets he had created.

Let alone a chandelier, even a car accident could keep Qin Shuang safe and sound.

Soon after, the parents of the injured students arrived, and Qin Shuang was finally free to stay and take care of them, and went home with Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing.

"Don't tell Grandma about what happened today, so she won't be frightened."

Qin Wanqing gave Ye Bai and Qin Shuang some special instructions.

Old Madam Qin's health has been deteriorating recently, and she can no longer withstand the slightest stimulation.

"clear."

Ye Bai and Qin Shuang both nodded. In fact, even if the other party did not give instructions, they knew what to do.

"Um... do you still have any amulets?"

On the way, Qin Shuang, who had been struggling with this for a long time, finally couldn't help but look at Ye Bai and speak softly.

"What do you need a talisman for?"

Ye Bai was somewhat puzzled.

Judging from her appearance, Qin Shuang's bloody calamity has been completely resolved, and she no longer needs the protection of a talisman.

"I...I won't take it for nothing, sister...brother-in-law..."

Qin Shuang bit her lip, filled with anticipation and nervousness, and once again uttered that name that she found difficult to say.

The amulet's effects were truly amazing, and the little girl eventually succumbed to its irresistible charm.

If I could get another one to wear, I would feel incredibly safe.

"...Wait, Xiaoshuang, what did you call him?"

Before Ye Bai could even speak, Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes widened, and she let out a soft gasp of disbelief.

So shocked was Qin Wanqing that her hands on the steering wheel trembled, almost causing the car to plunge into the ditch.

It's no wonder Qin Wanqing was so surprised; it's mainly because Qin Shuang's change in attitude was just too obvious.

She used to look down on Ye Bai, thinking he wasn't good enough for her sister.

But then he turned around and started calling me brother-in-law. This change was so sudden and unexpected.

"Sister...brother-in-law..."

Qin Shuang's pretty face turned bright red, and she didn't even dare to look up at her sister. At this moment, she was so ashamed that she had the urge to crawl under the car.

"..."

Qin Wanqing was speechless.

Having such a shameless younger sister, she felt exhausted once again.

Calling him brother-in-law won't help.

Ye Bai pursed his lips and refused without hesitation.

He forced Qin Shuang to call him brother-in-law before, just to tease the little girl.

Now that the goal has been achieved, shouting a few more times will be pointless.

However, amulets are valuable items that can be sold for money. One can be exchanged for a "brother-in-law" and that would be a huge loss in Ye Bai's eyes.

Last time, considering that this little girl was really in danger, I gave her one for free and that was fine.

Now that everything's fine, you still want to take advantage of him for free? You're dreaming!

However, if they manage to trick Qin Wanqing into paying for it, selling her another ticket seems like a pretty good deal...

Ye Bai began to ponder.

"I swear I'll never forgive you, you surnamed Ye!"

Being rejected by Ye Bai so decisively and then mocked by her sister, Qin Shuang was completely enraged.

The complex emotions of gratitude, shock, and worship that arose after being saved by the amulet all transformed into anger.

This adopted son of the Ye family is as hateful as ever!

Back at the Qin family manor, Ye Bai and the other two were exhausted, so they didn't chat and went to bed early.

Ye Bai slept straight until 10 a.m., and what surprised him was that Old Madam Qin didn't ask Shen Lu to wake him up and accompany him to the park to listen to the opera.

After hastily grabbing something to eat in the kitchen to fill his stomach, Ye Bai was surprised to learn that Old Madam Qin was actually ill...
