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

In fact, Ye Bai could also enjoy these delicacies at the Qin Family Manor.

But the feeling was completely different from eating at a restaurant.

After all, the chefs at the Qin Family Manor wouldn't go to each table and tell them how much each dish cost.

Now that he has seen the prices directly, Ye Bai realizes that the little money he has earned during this period is really insignificant.

At this rate, it wouldn't even last a month.

Most importantly, this Cantonese restaurant isn't the highest-end in Jingzhou; in fact, it's somewhere in the lower-middle range of the high-end category...

"Damn it! My brother is so poor!"

Deeply affected by the blow, Ye Bai's fighting spirit was once again ignited.

He still had to continue clinging to the Queen of Qin's coattails.

We still need to keep taking advantage of people; what we took before was just a drop in the ocean.

Just as the group finished ordering, Tong Yan arrived.

Since we were all acquaintances, there was no need for small talk. After chatting for a few minutes, we began to enjoy our meal.

After just a few bites, Ye Bai, Shen Lu, and Shen Zhu couldn't help but squint their eyes, looking completely satisfied.

It must be said that although the prices at this Cantonese restaurant are high, they are definitely worth the money.

It tastes amazing, so good you almost want to swallow your tongue.

In contrast to Ye Bai and the other two gluttons' wolfing down their food, Qin Wanqing and Tong Yan ate much more elegantly.

It wasn't just because of their good upbringing; more importantly, both of them were from wealthy and influential families.

We've eaten at these high-end restaurants quite often, if not to say we're tired of them.

"Even if you didn't call me today, I was planning to call you after get off work..."

After taking a couple of bites, Tong Yan put down her chopsticks and looked at Qin Wanqing.

"What? Did you get promoted? Are you going to treat us to dinner?"

Qin Wanqing joked.

"...You were absolutely right, I'm now the deputy director."

Tong Yan sighed, her pretty face filled with helplessness.

Qin Wanqing asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with you this time? Isn't a promotion a good thing? Why are you looking so gloomy, as if you've been demoted?"

Tong Yan said dejectedly, "I'd rather be demoted! You have no idea, now that I'm the deputy director, my office is right across from the director's. The feeling... well, it's hard to describe!"

Qin Wanqing was taken aback at first, then a flash of anger appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she said coldly, "That old bastard Dongfang Wen still wants to make a move on you?"

The director of Jingzhou TV station is notorious for his greed and lust.

Almost everyone in the upper echelons of Jingzhou knew about it.

Unfortunately, this old guy had quite a powerful background and hadn't bullied anyone from his own family, so the wealthy families of Jingzhou turned a blind eye and didn't bother to argue with him.

Moreover, as one of the mouthpieces of the media, these powerful companies in Jingzhou dare not easily offend the TV station.

The Qin family is the same; everyone keeps to themselves and doesn't interfere with each other, which is fine.

But what kind of personality does Queen Qin have? She dares to bully her best friend. Let alone a TV station director, even the governor of Jingzhou wouldn't stand a chance!

These guys do have a lot of power, but the Qin family, as the head of the four major powerful families in Jingzhou, is not someone to be trifled with either.

"Well... it wasn't that obvious, but it was just that he was always asking about my well-being, which was really disgusting."

Tong Yan smiled wryly. She wasn't a clueless girl like Shen Lu; of course she knew what Dongfang Wen was up to.

But the old man's timing was perfect, leaving her with no excuse to lash out.

"Well, that's good. The old man knows your identity, so he shouldn't be that heartless..."

Qin Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Ye Bai and snorted irritably, "Men are all the same, they get worse as they get older!"

"??"

Ye Bai was filled with questions; this was a completely undeserved disaster for him.

The Qin Queen's unreasonableness once again exceeded his expectations.

Fortunately, he gradually got used to it and stopped caring. He just looked at Tong Yan and said, "I suggest you be careful. The bottle of 'Spring Water' that Li Decai bought might be in Dongfang Wen's hands."

"what……"

Tong Yan covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise.

A look of surprise and apprehension flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Spring Water? What's that?"

Qin Wanqing was puzzled and looked to Ye Bai and Tong Yan for answers.

But Ye Bai completely ignored her and continued to eat ravenously after saying that.

This made Qin Wanqing want to bite again, but luckily Tong Yan was there and blushed as she whispered an explanation in her ear.

"What? An aphrodisiac?"

Qin Wanqing was taken aback, then her beautiful eyes flashed with anger as she looked at Ye Bai and said coldly, "Ye, how do you know that the Ghost Market has such things? Have you bought them before, or even used them?"

Without a doubt, after learning about the effects of "Spring Water", Queen Qin immediately regarded Ye Bai as a wicked flower thief!

"...I've never used your sister!"

Ye Bai rolled his eyes in anger. He was still a virgin, always keeping himself pure and had never even watched porn.

"...Ye Bai, you bastard! You still want to lay a finger on my sister? Xiao Shuang is still a child! You're such a beast!"

Queen Qin completely lost her temper.

Ye Bai was dumbfounded and could only silently give a big thumbs up to this woman's incomprehensible behavior.

"Alright, Wanqing, Ye Bai is definitely not that kind of person. He's so devoted to you..."

In the end, Tong Yan couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to persuade them.

As for Shen Lu and Shen Zhu... these two little girls seem to have been sealed away by delicious food, showing no reaction to anything happening in the outside world.

The world of adults is far less interesting to them than delicious food.

"Him? Loyal? Let me tell you, Yan Yan, you have no idea, this guy is a total womanizer!"

"Not only did he flirt with Zhu Daji and Han Mengmeng every day, but he also exchanged glances with the female teacher and department head all the time!"

"That's bad enough, but he even did that to you..."

Qin Wanqing was furious and began to list all of Ye Bai's scumbag behavior in front of her best friend. As she talked, she almost let slip the truth.

"To me? What do you mean?"

Tong Yan's heart began to race uncontrollably, and a shocking guess surged into her mind.

Could it be... that Ye Bai has feelings for her?

This...how is this possible!

My best friend's husband fell in love with me?

What a cheesy and melodramatic soap opera!

At this moment, for the first time in his life, Tong Yan experienced what it meant to have his heart pound like a deer's.

Her pretty face turned bright red, even her delicate earlobes were completely red.

"Uh...it's not just you, this pervert gets ideas whenever he sees someone attractive..."

Fortunately, Qin Wanqing was also in a state of extreme fear of dying at this time, and her eyes were wandering, so she did not notice Tong Yan's strange behavior.

Just as the atmosphere became awkward, several waiters suddenly came over, looked at Qin Wanqing and Tong Yan with smiles, and said, "Greetings, esteemed guests. This is a gift from the owner of 'Yueguilou' to you two..."
