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

"Meet up? Could this be the legendary 'meeting in real life'?"

Ye Bai was taken aback at first, then his expression turned strange.

Because they had become familiar with each other, the "little fangirl" recently suggested that it would be more convenient to communicate on the most popular chat software at the moment, so Ye Bai registered for one as well, and the two became friends.

Currently, Ye Bai only has this one friend on his friend list; he doesn't even have Shen Lu.

"Sorry, I'm busy right now."

Ye Bai quickly replied.

Although he had never chatted with anyone online before, he has been able to access a lot of information every day since he got a smartphone recently.

He had no desire to experience the terrifying prospect of "dying in the light" firsthand.

Of course, most importantly, Ye Bai felt that chatting online was quite interesting, and meeting in person would be unnecessary.

It can even be quite embarrassing.

Making up stories in front of a phone screen is completely different from talking to a real person.

"...Rejected so decisively?"

Lying in bed, Qin Wanqing was somewhat surprised when she saw Ye Bai's quick reply to the message.

"It's one thing that this guy was already flirting with Zhu Daji before, but now he's secretly hooking up with Han Mengmeng, he even went so far as to sneak into the woods. It's impossible for him not to be a womanizer..."

"So, the only reason they're refusing to meet now is that they're playing hard to get!"

"Ye Bai, Ye Bai, I never expected that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have such a fickle heart! I'd like to see how long you can keep up this act!"

Qin Wanqing's mind raced, and finally she let out a cold laugh.

Then, she sent another message.

"Hey bro, are you worried that I'm ugly and will look terrible in person? Don't worry, I'm very pretty."

"And she has a great figure, with a slim waist, long legs, big breasts, and a perky butt—everything about her is exactly what you men look for!"

"That legendary 'legs to play with for years' is exactly what they're talking about!"

Although Qin Wanqing had never been in a relationship before, she had seen it all and knew what those stinky men liked.

She refused to believe that a normal man could resist such deliberate flirting from a woman.

Once this guy falls for it, she can expose Ye Bai's despicable face in public and make him reveal his true colors!

Upon realizing this, a smug smile couldn't help but appear on Qin Wanqing's exquisite and flawless face.

She didn't even realize that her original intention of deliberately chatting with Ye Bai to get information was slowly changing.

However, it's not entirely Qin Wanqing's fault for being fickle; it's mainly because Ye Bai's conversations are always unconventional and whimsical.

Moreover, what they said was all mystical and nonsensical, leaving people completely confused and without providing any useful information.

Therefore, Qin Wanqing had no choice but to change her strategy and prepare to use the simplest and most effective "beauty trap".

To her surprise, after she sent what she considered to be the most alluring introduction to a man, Ye Bai remained completely silent and did not reply at all.

Little did she know that Ye Bai had already gotten up to chop wood and prepare medicine, and had left his phone on the sofa, not even taking it with him.

Although Shen Lu helped, and the little girl was quite nimble, she didn't know anything about medicine, so Ye Bai had to personally demonstrate it to her.

Moreover, Old Madam Qin needs to drink seven doses of medicine in total, and today is only the second dose. Shen Lu will need to help with the subsequent decoctions, and there is still a lot to learn.

So this lesson lasted for more than half an hour.

When Ye Bai sat down on the sofa, took a sip of water, and opened his phone, he discovered that his "little fangirl" had already sent him a bunch of messages.

"Why aren't you saying anything, sir? Don't you believe me?"

"Waaaaah, my crush isn't talking to me anymore, I'm so sad!"

"Hey bro, bro, calling you bro, what will it take for you to believe me?"

"Hey bro, you don't mean you want to video chat with me, do you? I'll get shy!"

"Hey bro, how about this? I'll send you a picture, okay?"

"Little brother..."

As Ye Bai scrolled through these messages one by one, the strange feeling in his heart grew stronger.

Finally, a chilling thought even surfaced in his mind.

Could that "little fangirl" really be a "rough-looking man"?

He used various means to lure him out, intending to do something wicked.

Just thinking about that scene sent a shiver down Ye Bai's spine, making him feel so nauseous he almost vomited.

"Damn it, this conversation is over!"

Ye Bai wiped away a cold sweat and decisively blocked the other party.

"You surnamed Ye! You scumbag who started a relationship and then abandoned me!"

Qin Wanqing sent another message, only to find that she had been blocked. She slammed her phone onto the bed and cursed through gritted teeth.

I was so angry I felt like I was going to explode!

All those late nights chatting with him, it was all for nothing.

That beastly adopted son of the Ye family, after taking advantage of her for free, left without any hesitation.

That's absolutely despicable!

"Ah..."

Ye Bai sneezed and suddenly felt like he was being cursed.

"It must be that damn transvestite! She's lusting after my brother's body, and she's getting angry because she can't have him!"

Ye Bai inwardly grumbled and simply tossed his phone aside.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Ye Bai had just delivered the decocted medicine to Old Madam Qin when he ran into Qin Wanqing, who was again staring at him with two big dark circles under her eyes.

"Bah, scumbag!"

Upon seeing Ye Bai, Queen Qin seemed to see an enemy, and she gritted her teeth.

"...Could this be the daily routine of acting crazy?"

Ye Bai was completely bewildered, but he knew it was best not to provoke Miss Qin in this state, so he could only be magnanimous and not hold it against her.

"Grandma, are you feeling any better these past couple of days?"

After serving Old Madam Qin her medicine, Ye Bai took her pulse and asked her with a smile.

Judging from her appearance, Old Madam Qin looked much better than she had two days ago. Although she was still a little weak, she was no longer the sickly and listless woman she had been before.

"Much better. I always said my Xiaobai is the best. There's almost nothing he can't do, and he's top-notch in every aspect."

Old Madam Qin smiled and nodded, growing more and more fond of Ye Bai the more she looked at him.

This grandson-in-law has brought her so many surprises.

Although she didn't understand medicine, she still knew her own body well.

She only took one dose of medicine yesterday and received acupuncture from Ye Bai, after which she felt much more relaxed.

"The main reason is that you, Grandma, have a good constitution, and you have been doing good deeds all these years. Moreover, your illness was not as serious as those quack doctors thought."

Ye Bai remained humble and did not take credit for anything.

"Grandma, please stop praising him. If you keep praising him, this little guy will get all cocky!"

Qin Wanqing couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted with a cold snort.

"Wanqing, what kind of attitude is this? Let me tell you, the fact that you were able to meet Xiaobai is a blessing that you and the Qin family accumulated in your past lives!"

"Such a good man, if you don't cherish him, you'll have nowhere to cry later!"

Old Madam Qin's face darkened, and she looked at Qin Wanqing and scolded her.

"I……"

Qin Wanqing was instantly furious. Looking at Ye Bai, who was snickering to the side, she stretched out her jade-like fingers and pinched his ear, angrily saying, "What are you laughing at? Focus on treating Grandma!"
