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

"Son-in-law, son-in-law, please tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Why does Master Qi listen to you so much?"

"And then there's Zhao Wuyai, he's furious to the point of madness, but he doesn't dare to retaliate. He's practically ready to disappear into the ground. He's lost face so badly..."

After Qi Bowen and Zhao Wuyai left, Shen Lu couldn't hold back any longer and started chattering nonstop.

"That old Qi, I've given him some pointers a few times, so I'd say I'm half his mentor..."

Ye Bai smiled and gave the little girl a simple explanation while continuing to eat heartily.

Finally, no one bothered them anymore. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two left the banquet hall and returned to their car to wait.

About an hour later, Qin Wanqing's social engagements came to an end, and she returned to the car with Tong Yan.

"Miss, you have no idea, my husband and I did a great act of heroism..."

Upon seeing Qin Wanqing, Shen Lu cheered and began to chatter on and on.

When she encountered two sycophants, her son-in-law forbade her to talk about it, so she could only talk about the incident involving Zhu Daji and Ye Xuanyuan.

"...You rescued Zhu Daji from Ye Xuanyuan?"

After listening, Qin Wanqing's expression became incredibly interesting.

The youthful-looking girl, however, didn't react much.

The beautiful female host had drunk quite a bit, and Qin Wanqing had to help her out of the house.

After getting on the bus, he simply tilted his head and fell asleep.

Judging from this, he won't wake up even if he gets to the Qin family manor.

"That young master of the Ye family really changes my understanding of him every day! Fortunately, you are just an adopted son of the Ye family."

Qin Wanqing shook her head, then glanced at Ye Bai.

Although the presence of a bad person in a family does not mean that everyone else is bad, heredity is a mysterious thing.

This can be seen from Ye Wentian and Yang Fenglan, as well as Ye Xuanyuan, a son of the Ye family.

Not a single one of them is any good!

It seems to be a good thing that Ye Bai doesn't have the Ye family bloodline.

"...Your Qin family isn't much better; there are even more tasteless ones among them."

Ye Bai inwardly scoffed, but didn't say it aloud.

Occasional, trivial bickering is fine, but there's no need for it to escalate to the family level.

In particular, Qin Wanqing was right; he had never been proud of his identity as "the adopted son of the Ye family."

In fact, this identity often brings him all sorts of trouble.

But undeniably, without this identity, he wouldn't have been able to guard the deep mountains for ten years, nor would he have had the opportunity to become the master of the old celestial master, and he wouldn't be qualified to marry Qin Wanqing now...

Everything is predestined.

"It's a bit of a pity. If Zhu Daji knew that you were the one who saved her from danger and preserved her chastity, she might have offered you her body in return!"

"That's something so many men dream of, and you just missed it. You'll regret it so much later!"

When "Zhu Daji" was mentioned, the Queen of Qin began to speak in her usual sarcastic tone.

Of course, she was indeed testing the waters on purpose.

Based on her judgment, Ye Bai was definitely a lecherous man at heart.

She was just too good at disguising herself, making it difficult for her to find any real leverage against her.

"I have no interest in you, let alone Zhu Daji."

Ye Bai pursed his lips and spoke the truth.

"You surnamed Ye, do you want to die?"

Qin Wanqing instantly bristled, subconsciously recalling the time when she pretended to be a "little fangirl" and chatted with Ye Bai, and he said he was sexually frigid and had no interest in sex.

It's one thing to say it online, but Ye Bai didn't even know that the "little fangirl" was her.

But now, in front of her, he actually dares to say that!

The worst part is that Shen Lu and Tong Yan are also there!

This made Qin Wanqing lose face, and she even had the urge to bite Ye Bai to death.

"...Young master, you're lying again. If you're not interested in the young lady, how did you get her pregnant?"

Shen Lu pouted, feeling that the young lady and the young master were treating her like a child, or rather, a brainless and stupid child, so they could fool her however they wanted.

"Lulu! Who told you I'm pregnant?"

A sharp, piercing sound echoed throughout the car, so loud that even the drowsy Tong Yan was jolted awake, nearly dying on the spot...

"Young master, Miss is pregnant but won't admit it, and she even scolded me..."

After getting off the bus, Shen Lu cried and complained, venting her grievances.

"It's okay, let's not stoop to her level."

Ye Bai patted the little girl's head to comfort her, and began to think about whether there was any magic pill that could improve intelligence.

Unfortunately, after thinking about it for a long time, I found that there was none.

Finally, he could only sigh and say, "Starting tomorrow, eat more walnuts. Remember, eat them raw, not cooked."

This brainless little girl really needs to work on her brain.

Walnuts may not be of much use, but they're better than nothing.

People who get drunk tend to become heavier, even for a beauty like Tong Yan who maintains an excellent weight, weighing only around 100 pounds.

With Qin Wanqing's strength, there was naturally no way to get him into the room.

Ye Bai wanted to do it for him, but before he could even start, Qin Wanqing glared at him and stopped him.

"What? You're not interested in me, but you're interested in my best friend?"

Women have always been the most vengeful creatures, and Queen Qin was clearly an even greater example of this.

Fortunately, besides Ye Bai, there is also Shen Lu, who is quite powerful.

However, the little girl was petite, and when she carried Tong Yan on her back, it looked like a large mannequin being carried in a theatrical performance, which was quite comical.

After sending Tong Yan into the room, Ye Bai was finally able to escape Qin Wanqing's side and breathed a sigh of relief.

He decided to spend less time accompanying Queen Qin to social events in the future, as it was more tiring than climbing a mountain all day.

In particular, Her Majesty the Queen has a tendency to turn on people without warning, and you never know which wrong word could trigger her complete outburst.

The three girls went to rest, but Ye Bai wasn't so lucky.

After taking a shower in my room, I went to the back hall of the villa.

Old Madam Qin still had two doses of medicine to take, and of course he wouldn't let it all go to waste.

Moreover, compared to the previous two doses, the latter two are even more important.

Ye Bai's goal wasn't just to cure Old Madam Qin's illness, but also to replenish her vital energy and extend her lifespan by a few years.

Such a wonderful grandmother deserves to live to be a hundred years old.

Ye Bai was never a sentimental person, but he had to admit that it was only after meeting Old Madam Qin that he truly felt family affection for the first time in his life.

Of course, his master, the old Celestial Master, also treated him very well.

However, because both of them had unconventional personalities, their relationship as master and disciple was more like a friendship that transcended age.

After preparing the medicine and starting to simmer it over low heat, Ye Bai finally had a chance to relax.

As soon as I took out my phone and opened the chat app, I saw the unread verification message above.

"Guess? I'll fucking guess your sister!"

Ye Bai felt a sharp pain in his tooth and simply ignored the inexplicable information.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Ye Bai had just finished serving Old Madam Qin her medicine when an uninvited guest suddenly arrived at his door.

It turned out to be two people he was very close to.

Her adoptive father was Ye Wentian, and her adoptive mother was Yang Fenglan.

Ye Bai initially thought they were looking for him, but it turned out that wasn't the case.

The Ye family head and his wife have come to pay their respects to Old Madam Qin.

As for the reason, the Ye family has run into big trouble...
