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

Since it was still early before Qin Wanqing got off work, Ye Bai and Shen Lu discussed it and decided to go for a stroll nearby.

They had basically explored the entire Qin Group headquarters building, but there was nothing new to see.

Moreover, many high-ranking members of the Qin family work here, and when they run into each other, they don't like each other, which is really boring.

Qin Wanqing didn't stop them. She had too many documents to process, and having these two in the office would only interfere with her work.

Not only could he not help with anything, but he also just sat there drinking tea, eating melon seeds, and gossiping, which was too distracting for her.

As she listened, she would unconsciously grab a handful of sunflower seeds and join the conversation...

The Qin Group headquarters building is located three blocks away from a food street.

That was Ye Bai and Shen Lu's destination.

For two true foodies, strolling around town is really just about eating.

Especially since it's already past 3 pm, a long time has passed since lunch, but there's still a long time before dinner, it's the perfect time for afternoon tea or something.

"Hey? Son-in-law, doesn't that person look familiar?"

Just as they arrived at the parking lot of the food street and parked the car, before they had taken more than a few steps, Shen Lu suddenly tugged at Ye Bai's sleeve and exclaimed in a low voice.

"Who?"

Ye Bai looked over in confusion, but for a moment he couldn't see the target Shen Lu had mentioned.

The main problem was that there were too many people on the food street, and delicious food was sold everywhere. The tempting aromas kept wafting into his nose, making it really hard for Ye Bai to concentrate.

"The one in the black trench coat!"

Shen Lu secretly pointed with her finger.

"Hmm, now that you mention it, it does seem a little familiar..."

This time, Ye Bai finally saw it. It was a man wearing a black trench coat, who looked quite tall, about 1.8 meters.

However, his body was somewhat hunched, he walked unsteadily, and his hair looked gray, suggesting he was not young.

Logically speaking, given Ye Bai's memory, he should be able to remember almost everyone he has met, including their characteristics and names.

But Ye Bai realized that the tall old man's back view didn't match up with anyone else.

But just as Shen Lu said, this person gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

This is a bit weird.

So, in order to find out what was going on, Ye Bai and Shen Lu quickly followed.

You can't tell who someone is from behind, just look at their face.

Not everyone is like that eccentric young lady from the Tu family, who always turns her body to the side when facing people.

"Young master, please try this candied hawthorn, it's so sweet..."

Although they were eager to find out who the tall old man was, foodies are foodies, and Ye Bai and Shen Lu bought some food along the way.

Without a doubt, when faced with a choice between curiosity and cravings, foodies will always firmly choose the latter.

The reason for buying candied hawthorns was Shen Lu's suggestion.

Because hawthorn is an appetite stimulant, eating two skewers of candied hawthorn first makes other foods not only more delicious, but also allows you to eat more.

Although the little girl isn't very bright, she's quite experienced when it comes to food.

"Well, it's delicious."

Ye Bai took a bite of a large hawthorn; it was sweet and sour, and incredibly crisp.

Then, the two foodies, one big and one small, ate like squirrels and finally circled around to the front of the tall old man.

"this person……"

This time, Ye Bai and his companion finally saw each other's appearance clearly, but they became even more puzzled.

Judging from his appearance, this person is not very old, probably around forty or fifty years old.

His complexion looked unhealthy, pale and bluish, his eyes were lifeless, and he had many wrinkles on his face.

But if you look closely at his facial features, you'll find that this man must have been quite handsome when he was young.

But none of that matters. What matters is that Ye Bai and Shen Lu find this face increasingly familiar the more they look at it.

"Young master, young master, why do I feel like this person looks a lot like that pretty boy we saw driving the second wife's BMW last time?"

"He's gotten much older, could he be that pretty boy's father?"

"But these two have pretty similar tastes in clothes. The pretty boy wears all the clothes, then he gives them to his dad?"

After staring at them for a long time, until the other person had walked more than ten meters away from them, Shen Lu couldn't help but whisper.

After looking at him up close for so long, Shen Lu finally remembered why the other person looked familiar.

The last time she and Ye Bai went to Jingzhou University, they passed by a Buddhist supplies store and suddenly saw Qin family's second wife Chen Jingmei's BMW.

However, the person driving at the time was not Chen Jingmei, but a tall and handsome young man.

They followed them for a while until they drove into a high-end residential area called "Wanting Haoyuan".

And that pretty boy, apart from his age, was exactly the same as the man in front of him.

Even their clothing and appearance are almost identical.

That's why Shen Lu had those speculations.

"I'm afraid it's not his father..."

Ye Bai continued to stare intently at the tall man, his eyes slowly narrowing, his expression turning strange.

"Not Dad? Then is it my brother? There's quite a big age gap, almost like we're from different generations..."

Shen Lu opened her eyes wide, looking completely bewildered.

"I'm afraid it's not my brother either..."

Ye Bai shook his head again, his expression shifting several times.

"...What could it be? It can't be Grandpa, can it? Could Grandpa be that young?"

Shen Lu felt that her limited brain capacity was starting to be insufficient. It was all because of this bad son-in-law. He knew she was stupid, but he always spoke in riddles.

"It's not Grandpa either..."

Ye Bai shook his head again, just as he was about to finish writing in seven days and nine chapters, when he suddenly realized that Shen Lu was already clinging to him and about to bite him.

Although this little girl is well-behaved and cute, she was raised by Queen Qin after all, so her temper and patience are not very good.

So Ye Bai didn't dare to keep them in suspense any longer. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "This guy is the pretty boy we saw the other day!"

"Aww~ Young master, are you running a fever today? Why are you talking nonsense? Should I take you to the hospital..."

Shen Lu was completely stunned. She first let out two strange cries, then tiptoed and climbed onto Ye Bai. She even reached out her little hand to touch Ye Bai's forehead, her little face full of worry.

Huh? It doesn't feel like a fever, so it must have been bullied by the young lady!

Poor son-in-law, his brain has become as dull as Lulu's now, otherwise how could he think that two people who are at least twenty years apart are the same person?

Listening to the little girl's rambling, Ye Bai was both amused and exasperated. He could only pull her off him and say seriously, "I don't have a fever, and I'm not confused. These two people are really the same person!"

"Ah... how can someone age decades so quickly?"

Shen Lu was completely dumbfounded, her mouth agape wide enough to fit a whole string of candied hawthorns.

"The reason he looks like this is because he's been poisoned..."

Ye Bai took a deep breath, his eyes becoming profound.
