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

Lakeside.

Han Mengmeng sat on the railing, her profile was delicate and sculpted, and her skin was as white as snow.

She was wearing a pair of clean white shoes, which were swaying gently on her feet.

A gentle breeze rustled her skirt, causing it to flutter.

Her slender, shapely calves were faintly visible, glistening like jade under the light.

It's like a stunning painting.

Of course, if you don't include the pile of empty beer cans on the ground nearby in the photo.

"Actually, I'm an orphan too..."

Han Mengmeng spoke softly, her voice like heavenly music.

puff.

Before Ye Bai could even appreciate it, he almost spat out the beer he had just drunk.

"Miss, please stop making a scene. You are Old Master Han's granddaughter, how could you possibly be an orphan?"

Ye Bai was speechless for a moment, feeling more and more that this girl was very abnormal in her mind.

Instead of attending a proper banquet, they dragged him out to the lakeside to drink and enjoy the breeze.

That would have been fine, but after hearing about his past in the orphanage, he suddenly said something like that.

"I've never even met my parents since I was a child. What else could I be but an orphan?"

Han Mengmeng turned her head and glanced at Ye Bai, her eyes full of contempt.

"...What you said makes so much sense!"

Ye Bai was in tears and speechless.

"I want to go boating, will you come with me?"

Han Mengmeng didn't dwell on the topic. Instead, she glanced at the shimmering lake under the moonlight and suddenly spoke.

"...Can we be normal for once? Going boating at night? Aren't you afraid of falling into the lake?"

Ye Bai felt exhausted and increasingly felt that this girl was very imaginative.

"To be accompanied by a beautiful woman, to drift in a boat under the moon, shouldn't this be the dream of you men the most?"

Han Mengmeng said calmly.

"That's another man, not me."

Ye Bai shook his head. He had no interest in women and was naturally averse to romance.

"You don't want to stay with me? Then I'll tell Qin Wanqing that you tricked me into coming to the lakeside late at night because you wanted to assault me."

Han Mengmeng blinked her clear, beautiful eyes and spoke words that sent chills down one's spine with an innocent and pure expression.

"...Don't you feel any remorse for distorting the truth like this?"

Ye Bai was both amused and annoyed. He never expected that he, the current leader of the Xuanmen sect, would be threatened one day.

The person threatening him was a beautiful young girl, as pretty as a fairy.

"Hmm, it seems there really is no affection between you and Qin Wanqing. This kind of threat shouldn't work on you."

"Alright then, I'll tell Old Madam Qin and my grandfather that you were drunk and acted immorally, taking revenge on Qin Wanqing, and that you took advantage of this innocent girl like me..."

Han Mengmeng ignored Ye Bai's reaction and continued weaving her story, which became increasingly inappropriate for children.

"Stop, stop, stop! Are you a devil, you little brat?"

Ye Bai finally couldn't take it anymore and quickly told him to stop.

"Hehe, you really are a man who's afraid of his wife."

Han Mengmeng remained calm and composed.

But for some reason, it still conveys a strong sense of contempt.

"Alright, the wind has blown, the wine has been drunk, so why don't you just say what your purpose is in coming to see me?"

Ye Bai finished the last sip of beer and looked at Han Mengmeng.

He and this girl had absolutely no relationship whatsoever, and they weren't even close to each other.

But the other party kept approaching him, which couldn't possibly be because they really wanted his body; they had other motives.

But he couldn't guess what the purpose was.

This is also why he agreed to accompany Han Mengmeng to the lakeside for drinks and fresh air.

However, it's impossible to go boating with this girl like that. I'd rather use that time to sneak back to the banquet and eat some more delicious food.

As for Han Mengmeng's threat, it might be a problem for others, but Ye Bai wouldn't take it to heart at all.

If a dignified junior celestial master of the Xuanmen sect could be frightened by a little girl, he would be ridiculed by his master for the rest of his life.

"Hey, you're even less energetic than me."

Han Mengmeng gave Ye Bai a deep look, then lightly jumped down from the railing.

I picked up a plastic bag that I had prepared beforehand, collected all the empty wine cans on the ground, put them in the bag, and threw them into the trash can not far away.

After doing all this, the little girl simply clapped her hands, turned around, and left.

Without even glancing at Ye Bai again, he simply uttered a single sentence.

"You want to know, huh? I'm not telling you! Heh heh, serves you right for not coming boating with me!"

Before she finished speaking, Han Mengmeng had already gracefully departed, leaving Ye Bai with only a beautiful and captivating silhouette.

"What the hell..."

Ye Bai felt a sudden toothache and realized that this little girl was clearly more difficult to deal with than Queen Qin.

When he and Qin Wanqing argued, it was often the latter who was driven to the point of exploding with anger by him.

But when he clashed with Han Mengmeng, he was always the one who suffered the defeat...

Could this be the legendary one thing that can overcome another?

"Young master, young master, what are you doing here? Miss, the young master is here, I've found him..."

Just as Ye Bai was pondering whether he should risk divine retribution to try and determine if there was some causal relationship between himself and Han Mengmeng, Shen Lu's familiar voice entered his ears.

Turning around, I saw that carefree little girl, who was so much cuter than Han Mengmeng, running towards me, cheering all the way.

Behind Shen Lu was a girl in a purple evening gown, with a slender figure, stunning beauty, and an air of elegance and nobility.

Qin Wanqing actually came along too.

"...Why did you all come out too?"

Ye Bai was somewhat surprised. At this moment, the birthday banquet should have officially begun, and the Admiral should have made his appearance.

Why didn't Qin Wanqing take the opportunity to toast the Governor of Jingzhou a few more times and improve her favorability, instead of running out to find him?

Where is Han Mengmeng?

Qin Wanqing did not answer Ye Bai's question, but instead glanced around and asked indifferently.

"Yes, yes, where's the little vixen?"

Shen Lu nodded angrily, waving her little fist forcefully.

He looked like a loyal lackey, eager to catch his lover cheating.

"Uh, that girl said she needed to talk to me, but in the end she didn't say anything..."

Ye Bai offered an explanation, but looking at the questioning eyes of the two people in front of him, one big and one small, he felt inexplicably guilty.

"Hehe, with a beautiful woman by your side, strolling along the lake, you two really know how to be romantic."

Qin Wanqing smiled faintly, her expression unreadable.

"Young master, you've gone too far! Miss only offered the Admiral a cup of wine before leaving to find you! And yet you're secretly meeting with that little vixen here!"

Shen Lu grew increasingly angry, and her eyes began to redden.

"Don't overthink it. I didn't come here to catch them in the act. I just found the banquet boring and came out for some fresh air."

Qin Wanqing snorted coldly, clearly not wanting Ye Bai to misunderstand; she cared a lot about this matter.

"Alright, whatever the case, I admit I didn't think this through. How about this, I'll make it up to you?"

Ye Bai smiled and said.

"Son-in-law, how would you like to compensate me?"

Shen Lu opened her eyes wide and asked with a curious expression.

Qin Wanqing didn't speak, but a hint of interest clearly appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"I'll take you boating under the moonlight; it'll be much more fun than a banquet!"

Ye Bai waved his hand and said with great pride.
