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

"I know, what's wrong?"

Ye Bai was taken aback. Song Fuling had told him before that Jiang Nuai got into medical school through connections with Guangmang Pharmaceutical.

Moreover, it is said that it was the mysterious chairman of Guangmang Pharmaceutical who personally made the call to the principal.

"Jiang Nuai is an assassin in Nanhuo Town and has close ties with Guangmang Pharmaceuticals. Do you think Nanhuo Town and Guangmang Pharmaceuticals might also be connected?"

Qin Wanqing twirled the ballpoint pen incessantly with her slender, fair fingers, and asked thoughtfully.

I don't think so.

Ye Bai shook his head. Top-tier assassin organizations like those in Nanhuo Town usually have financial backers behind them.

Even more than one.

Given the scale of Guangmang Pharmaceuticals, they are certainly qualified to be a sponsor.

But there is a crucial issue here.

Qin Wanqing asked, "Why?"

"...It's very simple. Jiang Nuai escaped from Nanhuo Town with her younger sister. If Guangmang Pharmaceuticals had close ties with Nanhuo Town, why would they help her?"

Ye Bai looked at Qin Wanqing with a strange expression, as if to say, "Is this woman mentally challenged? She can't even figure out such an easy question?"

"If you look at me like that again, Ye, do you believe I'll kill you?"

Qin Wanqing was so angry that she gripped her pen tightly, and she really had the urge to stab this guy.

We were having a nice chat here, but then this guy started looking down on her. Is that something a human being would do?

Most importantly, if you were really smart, that would be fine, but you're obviously always being self-righteous. Do you think I can't think of such simple logic?

"Get out! Go do what you're supposed to be doing, don't interfere with my work!"

In her anger, Qin Wanqing was too lazy to continue talking to Ye Bai about these things and simply kicked him out.

Anyway, Jiang Nuai's matter has nothing to do with her. If Ye Bai, that idiot, gets into trouble, he deserves it.

"Heh, you're just as smart as me, so you're getting angry out of embarrassment."

Ye Bai chuckled, deciding not to stoop to the level of this unreasonable woman.

But of course he wasn't going to leave; he was waiting to freeload dinner that night.

Lulu said that the Cantonese restaurant was quite expensive, costing at least four figures per person.

Without Mr. Qin paying the bill, he was really reluctant to go.

So he sipped his tea, leaned back on the sofa, and leisurely started playing on his phone.

Seeing that this guy was completely unfazed, Qin Wanqing had no choice but to glare at Ye Bai and continue to concentrate on her work.

He was, after all, her husband in name only; she couldn't very well let the security guards kick him out.

"Oops, I forgot to reply to the message..."

Opening WeChat, Ye Bai suddenly remembered that Zhu Daji had sent him a message last night, but because of Qin Wanqing's meddling, he forgot to reply.

So I quickly replied: "It's only this early, why are you going to bed so early?"

Zhu Daji: ...Ye Bai, are you out of your mind? I asked you last night if you were asleep, who asked you now!

back in seconds.

Upon hearing the notification tone, Qin Wanqing, sitting at her desk, immediately perked up her ears.

However, she did not look up, but instead secretly observed Ye Bai's movements out of the corner of her eye.

She had reason to suspect that this scumbag was flirting with some shameless vixen again.

Ye Bai: ...You wanted to see me about something?

Zhu Daji: It's nothing serious, just regret to inform you that Zhu Jiuyou has been rescued.

Ye Bai: That's a real shame. You'll have to be careful in the future.

Putting down his phone and taking a sip of tea, Ye Bai couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Zhu Jiuyou was truly lucky to be alive.

He survived such severe injuries; it's almost like he had the protagonist's halo.

The notification tone sounded again.

Zhu Daji: ? What am I supposed to be careful about? I'm not the murderer. You should be the one being careful. I feel like Zhu Jiuyou hates you to death. He thinks you sent someone to do it.

Ye Bai: ...If I really killed him, it would have been better if I had let you all have a feast when we were at the Zhu family's house.

Zhu Daji: Zhu Jiuyou has always been narrow-minded and stubborn, always believing he's right. Anyway, try to stay home as much as possible lately; I overheard him making a phone call to people from Donghetang.

Ye Bai: ? What the heck is Donghetang? A pharmacy?

Zhu Daji: Foolish! Donghe Hall is a notorious underground force in Jingzhou, specializing in dirty work, committing murder, arson, and all sorts of evil deeds.

Ye Bai: ...So it's the underworld! Zhu Jiuyou is very familiar with them?

Zhu Daji: It's more than just familiarity; I suspect Zhu Jiuyou is a member of the Donghe Hall. His henchmen might very well be from the Donghe Hall.

Ye Bai: ...What's going on? Your Zhu family is involved in organized crime?

Zhu Daji: You surnamed Ye, how dare you speak like that! You're the one who's corrupt! Your whole family is corrupt!

Ye Bai: Nonsense! I'm perfectly fair-skinned, you don't believe me...

As Ye Bai typed this, his body suddenly stiffened, and he slowly turned around.

Qin Wanqing, who should have been working on her desk, had somehow appeared behind him and was quietly watching him chat.

"Keep talking, why are you looking at me? Don't believe what's behind you? Take it off and show her!"

Qin Wanqing's expression was calm, her beautiful face revealing neither joy nor anger, but a murderous intent was clearly surging in her beautiful eyes.

"...Why do you always walk so quietly these days?"

Ye Bai glanced at Qin Wanqing's feet subconsciously, and his whole body went numb.

This woman had taken off her high heels and walked over wearing only socks; no wonder he didn't notice her at all.

Of course, the main reason is that the two of them are getting to know each other better and better, and Ye Bai is becoming less and less wary.

"Hehe, I was just afraid of disturbing your conversation, Mr. Casanova! Please continue, I'll make you some tea."

"Are your shoulders sore? Would you like me to massage them for you? Are your fingers numb? Or can I chat for you?"

Qin Wanqing smiled, and the entire room instantly brightened up.

The several pots of flowers on the windowsill, blooming brilliantly and vying for attention, paled in comparison to Queen Qin at this moment.

Qin Wanqing's beauty is the kind that is noble and elegant, giving people a sense of unattainability and self-deprecation.

Especially when she smiles, her smile is truly captivating, capable of charming cities and even nations!

Any normal man would be dazzled, captivated, and lost in the sight of such beauty, and then his mind would wander.

Unfortunately, Ye Bai didn't feel that way at all. Instead, the hairs on the back of his head suddenly stood on end.

There's always a reason behind unusual behavior, and besides, only a fool wouldn't notice the sarcastic tone in Queen Qin's words.

And it kept grinding its teeth, which was clearly a sign that it was about to bite!

So Ye Bai quickly put away his phone, got up, and made a run for it.

As they walked, they said, "I'm going to check on Lulu and Shen Zhu. They haven't come back for so long; they might be lost..."

Before he could finish speaking, he had already run to the door of Qin Wanqing's office in a few steps.

"You scumbag! I'll send you to Thailand sooner or later!"

Qin Wanqing gritted her teeth and cursed, then shouted, "Get back here right now! I have something I need you to do!"

"What's the matter?"

Ye Bai paused, turned around, and asked in confusion.

"I'm asking you to help someone with a feng shui consultation."
