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

Yang Yizhi's test results came back quickly. He needed stitches and had a concussion, but the problem wasn't too serious. He would only need to stay in the hospital for about ten days.

Yang Tianju was undoubtedly a ruthless man. Since his youngest son was not going to die, the banquet would continue as usual.

There was no other way; Qin Wanqing's visit to the Yang family had been arranged a week in advance.

The Yang family had made meticulous preparations for this banquet.

Not only were the ingredients and drinks incredibly valuable, but the chef they hired also commanded a six-figure salary.

Not even a sixth-ranking one yet!

So since we don't need to host a banquet for Yang Yizhi tomorrow, we have to eat today's meal.

In the end, the meal was a great success, with both hosts and guests thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Ye Bai was the happiest. He not only ate until his belly was round, but also packed some untouched food for Shen Lu.

Although Shen Lu could eat at the same table as Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing at the Qin family home, it was because they treated her as a younger sister and a member of the family.

But this wasn't the case at the Yang family's place; the driver and bodyguards could only have a separate table in a side room or a small dining room.

The food won't be bad, but it's definitely not as good as what's on the main table.

After the big foodie has eaten and drunk his fill, he'll have to bring some treats for the little foodie.

"Aren't you curious about how my talk with Old Yang went?"

On the way back to the Qin family manor, Qin Wanqing saw Ye Bai staring blankly out the car window, not saying a word for a long time. She asked him curiously.

There was no response; Ye Bai didn't even change his posture, seemingly pondering a profound question.

Qin Wanqing asked again before he finally reacted, turning around and asking with a blank look, "What did you say?"

"...Are you just spacing out because you've eaten too much?"

Seeing the foolish look in Ye Bai's clear eyes, Qin Wanqing was first taken aback, then her eyebrows furrowed.

"Well, yes, it's a bit... but putting everything else aside, the food at Old Yang's house is pretty good."

Ye Bai rubbed his stomach, looking on with a lingering sense of satisfaction.

Adhering to the principle of not losing money, he did eat a bit more today.

"Young master, young master, is it really that delicious? I can smell the aroma even through the bag..."

Shen Lu, who was driving, also started drooling. When they arrived, her son-in-law had promised to bring her delicious food, so she didn't eat much at her table.

We need to save some room in our stomachs, so we don't miss out on delicious food later.

"...Forget it, there's no point in talking to you two foodies. Eat up, eat your fill! It's almost Chinese New Year, I'll let you two join the table then!"

Qin Wanqing gritted her teeth, feeling like she was talking to a brick wall.

"Hmm, you need to eat less. I feel like you've gained weight."

Ye Bai glanced at Qin Wanqing and said with a sneer.

"I've gained weight? Really?"

Qin Wanqing was immediately startled and quickly reached out to touch her stomach.

Normally, people gain weight starting from their belly.

This touch put Qin Wanqing at ease.

Her abdomen remained flat, without any excess fat.

Her waist is still slender, no different from before.

"Could it be that your face has gotten fatter?"

Qin Wanqing had just breathed a sigh of relief when she quickly took out a small mirror from her bag and examined herself carefully.

“Young master, young master, you’re wrong. Miss should eat more now; she needs nutrition.”

Shen Lu interrupted again.

"Why do I need nutrition?"

Qin Wanqing was a little puzzled. After taking a closer look, she wondered if it was just her imagination, but she found that her face did seem a bit rounder than before.

This made her suspect that she had been eating with Ye Bai and Shen Lu a lot lately and had inadvertently caught their foodie habit, eating a lot more.

"Because you're about to have a baby, miss. If you don't get enough nutrition, the baby won't be as healthy!"

Shen Lu answered crisply.

"...Lulu, you're so smart!"

Qin Wanqing blushed and finally looked up to rub her forehead.

Being around those two guys is fucking exhausting.

Silent all night.

The next morning, after breakfast, Ye Bai asked Shen Lu to take him to the medical school.

Today is Friday, and it's time for him to go to class again.

"Huh? Teacher Jiang didn't come to work today?"

When Ye Bai arrived at the office, he found that although his desk was clean and spotless, he did not see Jiang Nuai.

I asked other teachers, and they all shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Apart from Ye Bai, Jiang Nuai almost never had contact with other teachers.

Ye Bai didn't think much of it. Jiang Nuai was just a teaching assistant and didn't usually have to teach classes, so it was normal for her to take a leave of absence.

After resting for a while and seeing that it was almost time, Ye Bai picked up his books and went to the classroom to teach the students majoring in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

"Professor Ye, you need to give it your all in today's class. Vice Principal Li and Professor Liu from Jingzhou Medical University will be here to observe your lesson."

"Don't say I didn't warn you, these two are no pushovers. If they think your teaching isn't up to par, even Vice Principal Chen won't be able to let you continue teaching here..."

Ye Bai hadn't gone far when he ran into Du Zhongjing, the head of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, who came out of his office and immediately launched into a long, rambling speech.

Director Du's expression remained as serious as ever, but Ye Bai couldn't help but feel that the old man seemed to be gloating a little.

"Okay, I see."

Ye Bai smiled and nodded.

It's not a big deal for leaders to come and observe classes; it's common in any school.

However, it's clear that Vice Principal Li and Du Zhongjing don't get along. Last time, they caused a mess by having students go to support a big star.

Ye Bai suspected that Ye Bai's sudden attendance at the class was related to the conflict between the two.

Unfortunately, he happened to have courses in Traditional Chinese Medicine, so he became the unlucky guy who was used to nitpick.

But why is Jingzhou Medical University getting involved here?

There are only two undergraduate medical schools in Jingzhou.

Jingzhou Medical College, Jingzhou Medical University.

Ye Bai didn't know much about either of these schools, especially the latter, which he knew almost nothing about, except that it existed.

After Ye Bai left, a middle-aged man also came out of the director's office. His face was wrapped in gauze. He was none other than Hua Zhenghao, the head of the Department of Clinical Medicine.

"Old Du, your strategy of using someone else to do your dirty work is quite good, especially since you even arranged for a few students to deliberately cause trouble. However, this kid was recruited by Principal Chen, so it might not be so easy to use this opportunity to kick him out."

Hua Zhenghao stared at Ye Bai's back, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes. He even subconsciously touched his nose, wincing in pain.

Although Jiang Nuai was the one who started the incident by falling and injuring him in the cafeteria, it had nothing to do with Ye Bai.

But Hua Zhenghao felt that Ye Bai was behind it all.

Loving someone may not need any reason, but hating someone can find countless reasons.
