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

"Young master, please tell me, what exactly did you and Miss do last night?"

After another fruitless afternoon, Ye Bai had just returned to the Qin family manor when Shen Lu eagerly approached him, asking with a curious expression.

She was at the age of innocent naivety, and because she was well protected by the Qin family, she remained innocent and pure despite the bombardment of those melodramatic dramas.

I wouldn't say I know nothing about matters between men and women, but my understanding isn't very deep either.

After all, most of the content that can be broadcast online has already been censored by the "censorship beast".

Shen Lu couldn't possibly have access to things like those explicit videos.

So after the young lady and the young master slept in the same room yesterday, the little maid was just as excited all night.

If she weren't worried about getting beaten up, she might even have considered eavesdropping at the window.

"Oh, don't even mention it, your young lady is such a talkative lunatic."

The thought that he might be kept awake by Qin Wanqing again tonight filled Ye Bai with melancholy.

He even considered sneaking out the window in the middle of the night to find another place to sleep.

In fact, he was never picky about the location; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so content living in the small side room of the Ye family's house.

During those years in the mountains, I don't know how many times I experienced sleeping under the open sky.

However, Qin Wanqing's behavior of calling back her soul every ten minutes was still far beyond his tolerance limit.

It doesn't matter if the environment is a little noisy. People will subconsciously ignore sounds that are unrelated to them, so they won't particularly affect sleep.

But it's different when someone calls your name; it's a natural reaction.

"Young master, I won't keep it a secret for you from the young lady who speaks ill of her behind her back."

Shen Lu angrily issued a threat, proving that she was very loyal to her young mistress.

"I'll take you to Chunfeng Road for a late-night snack tonight!"

Ye Bai chuckled and unleashed his ultimate weapon.

"Wow, you're the best, son-in-law! Don't worry, no matter how much you scold the young lady, I won't betray you!"

Shen Lu's beautiful big eyes instantly curved into crescent shapes, and she hugged Ye Bai's arm and rubbed against him like a kitten that likes to be spoiled.

Foodies really do understand foodies best...

Ye Bai sighed, then realized what he had done and quickly spat out a mouthful of saliva.

He's not a foodie, he just enjoys life.

Since it wasn't dinnertime yet, Ye Bai simply took Shen Lu to his "vegetable garden"—the newly cultivated vegetable patch next to the pond—to check on the sprouting progress.

At the same time, he also wanted to get another blood-red dragon so that the kitchen could make soup for Old Madam Qin that night, so that she could also have a taste.

To his dismay, several luxury cars were parked in front of Qin Shengfeng's villa, which meant that his sixth uncle was at home, making it difficult to take action.

It's not a matter of being afraid or not; taking someone's pet fish right in front of them is truly cruel.

Although the seeds were planted not long ago, the varieties that Ye Bai brought back are quite different from normal vegetables.

One of the reasons is that it grows extremely fast.

They have already sprouted from the soil, and their lush green color is extremely pleasing to the eye.

"Son-in-law, this dish looks delicious! When can we eat it?"

Shen Lu squatted down beside Ye Bai, looking at the tiny seedlings, each no bigger than a fingernail, tears of excitement streaming from the corners of her mouth.

"In less than half a month, we'll be able to eat it. I guarantee you'll want to eat it again after just one bite."

Ye Bai roughly estimated the time and finally felt relieved.

He had been worried that the environment in the mountains was different from that in Jingzhou, and that the seeds might not be able to sprout.

It's clear from the current perspective that he's overthinking things.

It can grow in the world outside the mountains, but I wonder if the taste will change.

The saying goes, "One region's water and soil nurture its people," and this is especially true for plants.

"What's going on today? Why are so many people at Uncle Liu's house?"

After inspecting the vegetable garden, Ye Bai looked at Qin Shengfeng's villa and asked with some doubt.

"I heard that Sixth Master is going to hold a banquet and has invited many celebrities from Jingzhou, but I don't know exactly who they are."

Shen Lu shook her head. The relationship between Qin Wanqing and Qin Shengfeng was very strained. Apart from the family banquets hosted by Old Madam Qin, they hardly ever interacted.

Qin Wanqing would naturally not be invited to this banquet, and even if she were, she certainly wouldn't attend.

Therefore, Shen Lu naturally had no interest in finding out the details about the banquet.

"banquet?"

Ye Bai's eyes lit up instantly. He wiped his mouth and asked, "Is there anything good to eat?"

Shen Lu was taken aback, then subconsciously swallowed, and said uncertainly, "I think... there probably is..."

Ye Bai's eyes brightened, and after a moment's thought, he said, "This Sixth Uncle is no good. He's been targeting your young lady all along. I have reason to suspect that he orchestrated this banquet today for some kind of conspiracy! So, since we've run into each other, it's necessary for us to find out what's going on and thwart his evil plans. What do you think, Lulu?"

"...Young master, I don't quite understand what you're saying. Aren't we just going to get some good food?"

Shen Lu was completely bewildered. Her intelligence had always been pure and simple, unlike her son-in-law's many twists and turns.

"Your understanding isn't wrong either..."

Ye Bai felt utterly exhausted. He regretted arguing with his silly Lulu.

However, he wasn't entirely there to freeload; he genuinely felt that the banquet Qin Shengfeng had suddenly organized was something special.

Especially since it was at this sensitive time, when Qin Shengshui had just returned to the Qin family.

But no matter what these guys are planning in secret, they're not going to tell him clearly; he'll have to figure it out himself.

As the Queen Qin's top employee, Ye Bai felt obligated to help.

If we obtain any useful information, we can sell it to Queen Qin.

He has now passed the written test (theory test), which means he should be getting his driver's license soon, and it's time to speed up his car-buying plans.

During this time, Ye Bai did some research and discovered that the difference between luxury cars and ordinary people was much greater than the difference between the children of wealthy families and ordinary people.

If possible, you should try to buy a better one.

He didn't care about the car costing tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, but he still had to consider the reputation of Qin Wanqing and the Qin family.

If he drives it out and people recognize him, they'll start making up stories about how the Qin family mistreats their son-in-law.

So if you're going to buy one, you'd have to buy one worth at least a million or two.

But the little money he has now is far from reaching that goal.

This means that he has to work hard to earn money, even just for his first car.

With that thought in mind, Ye Bai didn't hesitate any longer. He waved his hand and said to Shen Lu, "Let's go, let's freeload a meal."
