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

"What's wrong with having a youthful appearance?"

Ye Bai asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I don't know the specifics either, but you'll find out when you go there."

Qin Wanqing shook her head, then glanced at Ye Bai warily and said, "I'm warning you, don't you dare try anything with my best friend, or I promise I'll make you regret it!"

"...Don't worry, I'm not interested in her."

Ye Bai shook his head, somewhat speechless.

He truly couldn't understand what this woman was thinking all day long; she seemed to have completely convinced him that he was a greedy and lustful man.

While Ye Bai admitted to being "greedy for money," he was completely unrelated to being "lustful"!

The only woman he had ever been intimate with in his entire life was Qin Wanqing.

In the end, all they did was touch her little hand and pinch her thigh.

The Queen of Qin was so unreasonable that no one else could match her.

"Heh, you're just saying one thing and meaning another."

Qin Wanqing sneered, not believing a single word Ye Bai said.

If he really wasn't interested in her youthful appearance, how could he chat so happily with her online alias "Tongtong" on WeChat? And even praise her for being outstanding?

Men are all hypocritical bastards.

Since Ye Bai is going to see Tong Yan tomorrow, Qin Wanqing thought about it for a while and decided not to "chat online" with him tonight, so as not to give herself away if she were to be exposed.

After all, Ye Bai's thought process is not quite the same as that of normal people, and his behavior is hard to predict.

Silent all night.

Qin Wanqing slept well that night. She was slowly getting used to sharing a room with Ye Bai and that big bed that smelled of him.

When she woke up, she noticed that Ye Bai kept rubbing his lower back with a grimacing expression, as if he had overused his back during the night.

"This sofa is too soft, it's uncomfortable to sleep on."

Seeing Qin Wanqing's questioning gaze, Ye Bai explained somewhat helplessly.

When he was in the mountains, he slept mostly on wooden planks, and he had long been used to the hard feeling.

When he slept in the big bed before, he didn't have much of a reaction because the mattress was firm enough.

But the sofa was completely different; it was several times softer, and after only two nights, his back started to hurt.

"...Aren't you trying to find an excuse to sleep in the bed too? Let me tell you, I paid for it!"

Qin Wanqing frowned slightly, instantly becoming alert. She suspected this was another of the scumbag's tricks; he had only endured it for two days and was already getting impatient?

First you sleep in one room, then you sleep in one bed, and eventually you'll only have one blanket left.

"Then it seems I'll have to get another bed."

Ye Bai felt somewhat helpless.

He really wanted to sleep in his own big bed again, but he was also a little reluctant to give up the 5,000 yuan rent per day.

Such a foolish Queen Qin is a rare sight indeed.

"You'll have to figure it out yourself, but you can't let Grandma know!"

Qin Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that she had been quick-witted.

Living under the same roof with a scumbag who's full of tricks, it's easy to get taken advantage of if you're not vigilant enough.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Qin Wanqing went to work, while Ye Baihe had Shen Lu drive him to the TV station.

Because of Yan Yangshuo's prison break, Ye Bai has decided to temporarily stop accompanying Old Madam Qin to the park to listen to operas.

If the other party notices the old lady, it could easily lead to danger.

Before capturing Yan Yangshuo, he should try to avoid appearing in public with others as much as possible.

Qin Wanqing had no choice; she was already his wife in name only.

If Yan Yangshuo had any sense at all, he would definitely have targeted the other party.

Qin Group Headquarters.

"President Qin, your third uncle and aunt have arrived. It seems they're planning to hold a board meeting ahead of schedule to elect a new group president. They must be eager to take over..."

Chu Qian waited in the office, and as soon as Qin Wanqing entered, she began to give her report.

"As expected, no need to pay attention."

Qin Wanqing snorted coldly, not at all surprised.

The purpose of Qin Shengshui and his wife's return this time was quite clear: to obtain the position of president of the Qin Group.

I met with Han Anguo again a couple of days ago, and the talks seemed to go well. I feel it's time to make a move.

"The matter of those 10% shares has been investigated and confirmed; they are indeed in Han Mengmeng's hands..."

Chu Qian then gave her report again.

Although her intelligence department hadn't made much progress investigating Yan Yangshuo and Jiang Nuai, it remained highly efficient in investigating other matters.

In a short period of time, the ownership of the 10% stake in the Qin Group was clarified.

Han Mengmeng did not lie to Ye Bai.

Han Anguo was indeed very generous, giving away shares of astonishing value to his most beloved granddaughter.

"It seems you really can't catch a wolf without risking your cub..."

Recalling Ye Bai's instructions, Qin Wanqing couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.

It's truly unbelievable that she, the Queen of Jingzhou, would resort to having her husband seduce young girls.

However, when Qin Wanqing thought about how Han Mengmeng had seduced Ye Bai first, and how Ye Bai was originally a scumbag, she suddenly felt no guilt.

She was actively creating opportunities for that despicable couple; they might even thank her.

But what if these two adulterers actually manage to hook up?

Qin Wanqing suddenly thought of another crucial question.

"Ye Bai, that bastard! That deadbeat scumbag!"

Then, Qin Wanqing gritted her teeth and let out a low curse.

She didn't know what to do, so she could only rage helplessly.

……

"Ah!"

Ye Bai had just arrived at the TV station compound when he suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.

He had a feeling that someone was cursing him.

"It must be Qin Wanqing!"

Ye Bai rubbed his nose and made a conclusion without hesitation.

"Stop, you can't go in!"

As soon as Ye Bai and Shen Lu entered the building, they were stopped by a security guard.

"We're here to see Director Tong Yan. We're her friends, and we've been here before..."

Shen Lu gave the security guard a sweet smile and introduced herself.

She went in the same way last time, but the old man's eyesight and memory were clearly not very good, so he didn't remember her.

"Knowing anyone is useless; this is the rule. This is a restricted office area; unauthorized personnel are not allowed in."

"Unless you are internal employees of the TV station and have work permits, you can call whoever you want and ask them to come out."

The security guard shook his head, his attitude very firm.

"This……"

Shen Lu was dumbfounded. Just as she was about to continue pleading with the security guard, Ye Bai shook his head and took out his phone.

While Shen Lu was talking to the security guard, Ye Bai vaguely saw a figure leave the security room.

She was a woman with a great figure, and her walk was incredibly alluring.

If he wasn't mistaken, it should be that green tea bitch named "Wu Cailu".

Clearly, the security guard's actions today were deliberately designed to make things difficult for them, at someone's behest.
