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

"...Mr. Qin, can't you make a little noise when you walk? You're giving people a heart attack!"

Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief and said with some helplessness.

Qin Wanqing sometimes doesn't like to wear shoes when walking in her room, so naturally she doesn't make much noise.

Furthermore, Ye Bai was not wary of her and was slowly getting used to having a woman in the house. He was so engrossed in reading the article that he didn't even notice her approaching.

"Heh, only those with a guilty conscience would get a heart attack from being scared! If you have nothing to hide, what's there to be afraid of!"

Qin Wanqing sneered, staring at Ye Bai's phone.

She had reason to suspect that the evidence she wanted might be inside.

This scumbag has never used a cell phone before, so he probably won't delete those chat logs from his flirting days.

"If I have anything to hide, it's because you're such a miser!"

Ye Bai muttered something under his breath, put down his phone, and looked at Qin Wanqing, asking, "Is there something you need?"

Seeing this guy start to play dumb, Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes in annoyance and snorted, "I'm asking you a question, who's texting you this late!"

Ye Bai suddenly realized, "Oh, you mean this? A friend. What's wrong? Don't I even have the freedom to text my friends?"

Qin Wanqing was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by those words.

Putting aside the fact that she and Ye Bai are currently only a nominal couple, even if they were, they would still have the freedom to make friends.

In the end, Qin Wanqing could only grit her teeth and say, "I can't be bothered with your nonsense, but you can't keep me from sleeping!"

She's the Queen of Jingzhou, after all; she wouldn't really do something like snatching someone else's phone.

"...Okay, okay, I'll turn the sound off then."

Ye Bai was speechless. This woman always played videos on speakerphone when she was watching them; she never used headphones.

And if you're watching it and giggling at the same time, then it won't be noisy, right?

However, as a grown man, it was obviously pointless to argue with a woman about these things, so Ye Bai decided to endure it.

"...Why aren't you asleep yet?"

To Ye Bai's surprise, even though he had silenced his phone, Qin Wanqing was still standing there and did not go back to her own bed.

"Hmph, mind your own business! I ate too much tonight, can't I just stand up and digest a bit?"

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes at Ye Bai, looking completely self-righteous.

"...Do you want to see my phone?"

Seeing Qin Wanqing's seemingly casual glances at the ancient books on the bookshelf while actually secretly looking at them out of the corner of her eye, Ye Bai couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

It must be said that Queen Qin was quite adorable at times, but most of the time she was domineering, stingy, and unreasonable.

"Pshaw! I don't care!"

Qin Wanqing raised her fair chin and denied it with a haughty air.

"Really not going to watch? You'll regret it! Haven't you heard the saying, 'Opportunity knocks but once'?"

Ye Bai smiled, winking at himself.

"...I'll fucking 'oh' your face! A grown man like you 'oh' all day long, aren't you disgusting?!"

Qin Wanqing immediately lost her temper. She suddenly felt that Ye Bai was not only a scumbag, but also sometimes very shameless.

"Alright, since you're not going to watch, I won't force you. You can take your time to digest, I'm going to bed."

Having successfully provoked him, Ye Bai knew when to stop, turned off his phone screen, covered himself with the blanket, and went to sleep.

Before closing his eyes, he reminded Qin Wanqing, "Remember to turn off the light for me later."

He didn't bother replying to Zhu Daji's messages, not because he was afraid Qin Wanqing would see them, but because he felt that if it was something important, she would definitely call him directly.

If you're just chatting idly, then it doesn't matter whether you reply or not.

Compared to acquaintances, he actually prefers chatting with strangers.

That way, you can be completely uninhibited and say whatever you want.

"I……"

Seeing that this guy could fall asleep so easily, Qin Wanqing was so angry that she gritted her teeth and had an urge to just yank the blanket off him.

Before she could make a move, Ye Bai suddenly opened his eyes and said warily, "Don't try to sneak into my bed and take advantage of me, I'm used to sleeping naked by myself."

"I like you so much, why would I take advantage of you! I'll just sleep with you until you die!"

Qin Wanqing blushed slightly, spat, and turned to leave.

She was almost at her bedside when she thought for a moment, then went back and turned off the living room light.

"This scumbag, is he planning to secretly chat with a vixen under the covers?"

After lying in bed for a while, Qin Wanqing's doubts resurfaced.

Finally, she couldn't resist and quietly got out of bed, sneaking to the door to peek outside.

But they found that Ye Bai had actually fallen asleep, and looked quite soundly asleep.

"...What a pig! He just sleeps with whoever he wants!"

Qin Wanqing started grinding her teeth again, staring at Ye Bai's phone on the coffee table, but finally managed to suppress her impulse.

"You bastard! I don't care who he talks to!"

After muttering a few curses, she went to bed.

But one thing kept running through his mind: who exactly was that fox spirit?

She swore it wasn't jealousy, but simply curiosity.

Han Mengmeng? Zhu Daji? Jiang Nuai? Song Fuling? And that big-eyed female student...

You don't know until you count them. Once you count them, Qin Wanqing suddenly realized that Ye Bai, that scumbag, had already attracted so many women in such a short time since their marriage!

"I'll divorce this greedy and lecherous scoundrel sooner or later!"

Qin Wanqing was so angry that she kept groaning, and found that she couldn't fall asleep at all.

So I simply opened my phone and started watching short videos.

Continue playing music out loud, without using a phone...

Silent all night.

The next day at breakfast, Ye Bai noticed that there were a few strange dishes.

Stir-fried chives with scallions, stir-fried yam with okra, oyster and goji berry soup...

They are all foods that are considered to have aphrodisiac and kidney-tonifying properties!

"...Feng Gu, what's the menu today?"

Ye Bai was a little dumbfounded and looked at the head housekeeper, Feng Gu, and asked in confusion.

He is indeed a foodie and never picky about food, but for the first time, he didn't really want to eat these dishes.

These things are really inhumane, almost on par with culinary disasters.

"Reporting to the young master, it was specially ordered by the young lady to be made by the kitchen, so that she could give you a good nourishing meal."

Feng Gu was trying hard to suppress her laughter.

"...Why are you giving me a replacement?"

Ye Bai opened his mouth wide, momentarily dumbfounded.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Qin Wanqing, the instigator.

But he found that the woman wasn't even looking at him; she was just eating in silence.

Her pretty face flushed slightly, as if she was trying not to laugh.

"Young master, young master, I know, I know. Miss saw that you were too tired from having a baby recently, so she wanted to help you recover!"

The clever Shen Lu jumped out again, waving her little hand and shouting incessantly.

Meanwhile, Old Madam Qin beamed as she served Ye Bai food, saying, "This is also a token of Wanqing's affection, Xiaobai, please eat more..."

Damn it! This woman is definitely getting revenge on me!

Ye Bai understood instantly.
