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

In the end, Ye Bai still didn't go fishing in the pond.

It's not that I'm being soft-hearted and want to let Qin Shengfeng go, but it's too late now.

Night fishing can be quite a painful experience.

Anyway, the Crimson Dragon is right there and it's not going to run away anytime soon.

“I also tend to believe that it was Uncle Liu who arranged for it, but unfortunately, we have no evidence.”

A cold glint flashed in Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes, and she really had the urge to flip the table.

As she feared, things were unfolding in a way that began to involve Ye Bai.

The best way to deal with Qin family executives who like to engage in underhanded tactics is, of course, to lift the table up.

Once all the conspiracies and schemes are out in the open, they become much easier to deal with.

Unfortunately, with Old Madam Qin around, she simply couldn't do that.

Older people can no longer withstand any kind of stimulation.

Especially after her grandmother vomited blood and was critically ill, Qin Wanqing became even more aware of the fragility of the elderly woman's health.

Although Ye Bai intervened in the end and saved Old Madam Qin from danger, no one can guarantee that they will be so lucky every time.

Even Ye Bai wouldn't dare to make any guarantees about this matter.

More importantly, without sufficient evidence, these high-ranking members of the Qin family could simply deny everything.

They could even turn the tables and deliberately cause trouble for Old Madam Qin.

Making unreasonable demands isn't just a woman's prerogative; the Qin family's higher-ups are quite adept at it.

"It's okay, I'm still alive and well, I can take my time to deal with them."

Ye Bai could guess Qin Wanqing's concerns and said with a smile.

"...You're quite open-minded."

Qin Wanqing was speechless, and had to admire this guy's thick skin.

Ye Bai was lucky today; he didn't get on that ambulance. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been that unlucky Coach Ke who was taken away by the ambulance.

However, when Qin Wanqing thought about how she was almost killed by an assassin last night and how this guy saved her, she felt that Ye Bai's current reaction was normal.

People who seem carefree often have big hearts.

After chatting for a while, it got late, so everyone started washing up and resting.

Qin Wanqing and Tong Yan still slept together, leaving Ye Bai to sigh longingly at the bed.

He really wanted to go back to his own bed to sleep, but the daily rent of five thousand yuan was just too much.

In the end, he could only grit his teeth and make do with spending the night on the sofa.

He now understands those who sell their kidneys a little better; only an idiot would choose money over a kidney.

As an adult, one should have it all.

So the next morning after breakfast, Ye Bai asked Shen Lu to take him to the mall to pick out a comfortable mattress.

That sofa is definitely not safe to sleep on.

"Son-in-law, why do you suddenly want to buy a mattress? Was your previous mattress uncomfortable? I felt it was sleeping quite well..."

Upon entering the mall, Shen Lu began chattering incessantly, revealing her talkative nature.

The mattresses in all of their rooms were personally selected by Qin Wanqing; they were all the same.

"Your daughter is too restless; the old mattress is almost collapsed."

As Ye Bai looked her over, he casually made up some nonsense to fool the little girl.

"Young Master...Young Master, do you...you and Miss...do you...do you do all this every single day?"

Shen Lu's face turned bright red, and she started to stammer, clearly having misunderstood.

It's not that she has impure thoughts, but rather that she happened to be watching a TV series these past few days where the male and female protagonists were trying all sorts of ways to have a child, and they didn't even leave the house for days on end.

"Huh? This thing is pretty good..."

Upon reaching the furniture section, Ye Bai's eyes suddenly lit up.

It was a mahogany bed, more than enough for one person to sleep on, and most importantly, it was firm enough!

A real man has to be tough.

Moreover, having an extra mattress in the room would easily arouse suspicion from Old Madam Qin.

After all, a nanny cleans the room every day; it's impossible that she wouldn't have noticed something that big.

But it wouldn't matter if there was a mahogany bed; Ye Bai could simply say that he liked to sit there and read, or occasionally take a nap.

Realizing that this thing was much better than a mattress, Ye Bai no longer hesitated. He sat down and even tried lying down for a bit. Then he readily paid for it and asked it to be delivered to the Qin family manor before that evening.

"...Son-in-law, didn't you want to change your mattress? Why are you buying this kind of bed?"

Shen Lu looked completely bewildered, utterly confused about what her son-in-law was up to.

Mattresses and beds... are they the same thing?

"Children shouldn't ask such questions. You wouldn't understand anyway. This is adult romance."

Ye Bai rubbed the little girl's head, of course not telling her that he bought the bed for himself.

If Shen Lu were to slip up and reveal that he and Qin Wanqing were sleeping in separate beds, Old Madam Qin would definitely beat him with her dragon-headed cane.

The old lady is eagerly waiting to hold her great-grandson. If she knew she had been fooled by him and Qin Wanqing, she would be furious.

"Romantic? Could it be that the young master and young lady are planning to...?"

Shen Lu was taken aback at first, then her face turned so red it was almost dripping with water; she was extremely embarrassed.

There's a scene in that show where the male and female protagonists throw their clothes all over the floor and they especially like to change battlefields.

Bedroom, living room, balcony, even kitchen...

According to the lines in the show, a room should be filled with traces of love to be truly romantic.

"...What are you thinking about now?"

Seeing that Shen Lu had almost tucked her chin into her clothes, and her face was as red as a big apple, Ye Bai couldn't help but feel a little strange.

He really can't understand how kids think these days.

"No...it's okay..."

Ye Bai's question only made Shen Lu more nervous, as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

At that moment, a scene suddenly flashed into her mind: what if one day her future husband insisted on dragging her to that bed...

Oh dear, I can't think about it anymore, it's too embarrassing!

"…These mindless dramas are really harmful!"

Watching Shen Lu run away as fast as a startled rabbit, Ye Bai could only shake his head helplessly.

After leaving the mall, the two did not return to the Qin family manor, but went to Jingzhou University instead.

Qin Shuang loves the pastries made by the private chef at the Qin family's old residence, so when Ye Bai and Shen Lu went out today, they asked them to bring some over for her.

From this perspective, Qin Wanqing still loves her younger sister very much, and the relationship between the two sisters has not been affected by their stepmother, Chen Jingmei.

And perhaps it was the magic of "speak of the devil and he shall appear" working again, just as Ye Bai was thinking of the second wife of the Qin family, Shen Lu, who was driving, suddenly exclaimed in surprise and excitedly shouted.

"Young master, young master, I think I saw the second madam's carriage. Shall we go and take a look?"
