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

"Zhao Wuyai, aren't you taking yourself too seriously? What does the bet between me and Zhu Daji have to do with you?"

Qin Wanqing spoke coldly, her words utterly merciless.

Perhaps some vain women enjoy being surrounded by admirers, but Queen Qin is clearly not one of them.

She would only find it annoying and irritating.

Zhao Wuyai was the most annoying and irritating of them all.

This young master of the Zhao family, relying on the prestige of his father, Zhao Yanwang, is incredibly arrogant in the elite circles of Jingzhou, and has a terrible reputation.

"Wanqing, what are you saying? It's rare for us to get together, so let's have some fun. Besides, cross-country racing is quite dangerous. If you get hurt, I'll be heartbroken."

Zhao Wuyai's face flushed slightly from the rebuke, but he remained calm and instead put on a sincere expression.

Being a proper simp requires thick skin as one of the essential elements.

Even if the goddess were to slap him twice, he would still eagerly rush over, blissfully feeling the gentleness of her palms.

“Wuya is right. Wanqing, you are delicate and fragile. Even if you get a scrape, I will cry for a month. Let Ye Bai do it for you. He is thick-skinned and tough. Even if he breaks his leg, it won’t matter much.”

Li Fengyun quickly jumped out as well, his face full of righteous indignation.

Since Zhao Wuyai had already started fawning over him, he certainly couldn't remain indifferent.

It's like giving gifts to your boss during holidays. The boss might not remember who gave gifts, but they will definitely remember who didn't.

"Qin Wanqing, the two young masters are very concerned about you. Why don't we do as they say? Are you scared? Are you worried about your little Bai Bai?"

Zhu Daji laughed heartily. After all, they often spent time together, and she was very familiar with Zhao Wuyai and Li Fengyun's sycophantic nature, so she didn't feel jealous at all.

Of course, it was also because she looked down on people like Zhao Wuyai and Li Fengyun.

It's fine for us to be ordinary friends, but don't even think about taking it any further.

Zhu Daji always set very high standards for choosing a partner, and she constantly compared herself to Qin Wanqing.

What the Queen of Qin disapproved of, she also disdained.

Of course, the most crucial point, as Qin Wanqing said before, is that she really doesn't have much confidence in winning the cross-country race, as that's her opponent's forte.

If Zhao Wuyai were to help her, then success would be a sure thing.

Zhu Daji strongly suspected that Ye Bai had never even ridden a horse.

"How could my man be incapable!"

Qin Wanqing smiled faintly, exuding an aura of dominance.

Then, Queen Qin turned to look at Ye Bai, her delicate brows furrowing slightly, and asked, "Can you ride a horse?"

In fact, she also doubted whether Ye Bai had ever ridden a horse.

"Understood."

Ye Bai gave her that same nauseating, even somewhat infuriating, answer.

So Qin Wanqing could only roll her eyes and say, "Fine, then you can play this round for me. Anyway, the bet is on you. If you want to go to the Zhu family, I won't stop you."

A Hanoverian horse worth millions wasn't even worth her attention. And if Ye Bai, that annoying guy, went to the Zhu family, she'd rather not see him and not be bothered.

So it seems that winning or losing doesn't do her any harm?

But why am I suddenly a little worried that this guy might lose?

Qin Wanqing's expression shifted several times before she finally concluded that she was still reluctant to part with the horse.

That's a rare purebred Hanoverian horse, while Ye Bai is nothing.

"Very well, Wanqing has agreed, Ye Bai, what else do you have to say? If you're afraid and don't dare to compete, that's fine too. Just admit to everyone that you're not good enough."

Zhao Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief and began to laugh strangely, continuing to mock Ye Bai, his eyes flashing with sinister intent.

His biggest worry was that Qin Wanqing would absolutely refuse to change the person, in which case he would be helpless.

Now there's no problem. All he has to do is use this equestrian competition to thoroughly humiliate that arrogant adopted son of the Ye family!

Let them understand clearly that an ordinary person from the lower class, even if they get incredibly lucky, is nowhere near the same level as a privileged young master from a wealthy family with impeccable credentials!

He could even use this opportunity to cause an accident for Ye Bai.

Even if you don't die from the fall, breaking an arm or a leg is still a good thing.

In any case, accidents can happen at any time in equestrian competitions, so Qin Wanqing won't be able to blame him in the end.

His suggestion to replace the player was made with this purpose in mind.

With Qin Wanqing and the Qin family protecting him, he couldn't openly do anything to Ye Bai, but he could secretly do something underhanded.

Zhao Wuyai's plan was wonderful, but Ye Bai didn't take the bait at all. He just glanced at him and said, "You didn't place any bets, so why should I compete with you? As for whether I'm good or not, it's not up to you to decide, it's up to my wife."

As he spoke, Ye Bai turned to look at Qin Wanqing, revealing a somewhat shy smile, and said, "Wife, don't you think so?"

"??"

Qin Wanqing was taken aback at first, then she understood the implication of "whether it's okay or not," and her pretty face immediately turned red. She glared at Ye Bai fiercely.

This guy surnamed Ye is becoming more and more unscrupulous in front of her, daring to say anything!

If it were just the two of them, it wouldn't be a problem, but they did it in front of so many people, which naturally made Qin Wanqing very embarrassed and annoyed.

"Hey, hey, hey, can you two watch yourselves? Showing affection in front of us, don't you think that's going too far?"

"Especially you, Little Bai, you're my bargaining chip, and Qin Wanqing will soon lose you to me. I won't allow you to flirt with your ex-wife!"

Zhu Daji started to complain, feeling very unhappy.

Zhao Wuyai's face turned ashen, and he was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder!

The other sycophant, Li Fengyun, stared wide-eyed, his face filled with despair and utter despair.

He had reason to suspect that Ye Bai, that bastard, and Qin Wanqing had already taken care of everything that needed to be done.

Otherwise, given Qin Wanqing's personality, how could she possibly allow this guy to spout nonsense in public!

Oh no, oh no, my pure and innocent goddess, who accompanied my youth, is gone forever...

"You mean you'd be willing to bet with me if I put up the stakes?"

Zhao Wuyai took a deep breath, suppressing his murderous urge, and asked with a ferocious expression.

"That depends on whether your bet is worthwhile. I have no interest in collecting trash."

Ye Bai shook his head, looking disgusted, as if he thought Zhao Wuyai would definitely try to fool him with something worthless.

"What a joke! Everyone knows that my Zhao family is richer than a country. Anything we casually produce is something someone like you could never earn in a lifetime!"

"I own a bar, consider that as today's wager!"

Zhao Wuyai's face was ashen, and he spoke coldly.

He knew perfectly well that he didn't need to put up any bets.

Because this was originally a bet between Qin Wanqing and Zhu Daji, the outcome was a matter for the two of them.

He wagered a bar if he lost, but if he won, he only did Zhu Daji a favor.

But in order to get Ye Bai to agree to compete with him in horsemanship, Zhao Wuyai had no choice but to first release a bait.

You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a kid!

"...What's the point of a bar? I don't even like drinking."

Ye Bai shook his head, about to refuse, when Qin Wanqing behind him suddenly said, "Is it that November?"

Zhao Wuyai nodded and said proudly, "Not bad."

"Alright, that's settled then. I agree on Ye Bai's behalf!"

A strange light flashed in Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes, and she made the decision for Ye Bai directly.
