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

"...You're not just trying to scare me, are you?"

Seeing Qin Wanqing laughing so hard, Ye Bai, after his initial shock, began to have doubts again.

The Queen of Qin was not only capable of deliberately frightening people, but she was also always good at it.

"No, that's not true. Based on my years of experience in business and dealing with clients, it's very likely. But David Chiang is really handsome and has a great physique. If you're interested, I won't stop you."

After noticing that Ye Bai's face had turned green, Qin Wanqing laughed so hard she could barely breathe, and it took her a while to finally control herself.

"I'd rather die than agree! My orientation is perfectly normal, okay?!"

At this moment, Ye Bai really had the urge to take this woman right there and then to prove that he was straight.

He hadn't really thought about it before Qin Wanqing brought it up.

Upon reflection, he realized that David Chiang had indeed been glancing at him frequently during the meal.

He initially thought the other person was looking at Ye Ruyan or Qin Wanqing, since both of them were top-tier beauties, the kind who could be described as radiant, and any normal person would be unable to resist taking a second look.

But now it seems, was David Chiang actually looking at him back then?

Upon realizing this, Ye Bai immediately felt a tightness in his anus and felt completely unwell.

"Okay, okay, just be normal, okay? Why are you being so fierce? I'm not discriminating against you."

Qin Wanqing really wanted to rest; she was genuinely too tired to laugh anymore, but she just couldn't help it.

The main reason is that she had read too many BL novels before, which made her imagination more vivid than that of a normal person.

Shen Lu never reads these things, and being young and naive, she couldn't understand what the young lady and the young master were saying at all.

But it's also clear that the son-in-law was probably bullied again.

Poor son-in-law, it really breaks my heart.

But since the person who bullied the young master was a young lady, there was nothing Lulu could do about it, no matter how much she felt sorry for him. She could only silently mourn for the young master while driving.

"If you laugh again, Qin, believe me, I'll get you pregnant tonight?"

In his grief and anger, Ye Bai had no choice but to unleash his ultimate weapon.

Sure enough, upon hearing the extremely sensitive word "pregnancy," Qin Wanqing's body trembled, and she sobered up considerably.

"Ye Bai, don't talk nonsense in front of children! Lulu is still here!"

Qin Wanqing's pretty face flushed red, both ashamed and angry. She glared at Ye Bai, and finally stopped smiling.

After a long pause, Qin Wanqing, gazing at the night view outside the car window, suddenly sighed softly, "Ye Ruyan's return this time gives me a feeling that she's up to no good. Her eye on that piece of land in District Eight definitely has another purpose; it's not just about development..."

Clearly, just as Ye Bai had predicted, Qin Wanqing and Ye Ruyan seemed to get along well when they were at the Ye family, but in reality, they were just putting on an act.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Qin Wanqing became the Queen of Jingzhou not because of her beauty.

If you don't even have this much brainpower, you're not qualified to lead the Qin Group.

"The reason you agreed to help her is so that you can take this opportunity to find out what she's really thinking?"

Ye Bai's heart stirred, and he began to understand the other party's plan.

Sure enough, Qin Wanqing nodded and said, "That's only one aspect. The most crucial point is that the Governor's Office has already agreed, and the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce can't stop it even if they want to. Even if the board of directors doesn't approve it, everyone will have to obey the Governor's order. Moreover, as long as those board members aren't senile, no one will oppose this matter..."

Jingzhou has suffered in the Eighth District for too long. It was one thing that no one dared to take over that mess before, but the Governor of Jingzhou couldn't just hold a knife to everyone's throats and force them to invest.

But now that a "sucker" has finally appeared, the Admiral's Office has to make this happen no matter what.

Previously, everyone disagreed with contributing money, but now that someone is contributing, they still dare to trip them up. Is it that the Admiral is truly incapable of wielding a sword?

Since that's the case, Qin Wanqing naturally had to go along with it and had no reason to refuse.

Of course, there was another key reason why she agreed so readily.

Regardless, Ye Bai was adopted by the Ye family from an orphanage.

If it weren't for the Ye family's actions back then, she wouldn't have met Ye Bai today.

This is a matter of great cause and effect, so she first repays the Ye family a favor.

"What secrets does District Eight hold?"

Ye Bai's expression also began to look strange.

He suddenly realized that many things during this period were more or less related to the Eighth District.

A scoundrel of the Xuanmen sect, a serial killer, the Black Fish Bagua Mirror, the assassin sisters of Nanhuo Town...

He hadn't thought about it deeply before, but now he realized that this situation was clearly very abnormal.

So many people who are completely unrelated would never have any interaction under normal circumstances, but now they have all gathered in one place, which speaks volumes!

After returning home, Qin Wanqing quickly washed up and went straight to sleep.

She drank quite a bit of alcohol today, and although she could still stay sober, she couldn't resist the drowsiness.

Seeing this, Ye Bai could only shake his head helplessly and carefully covered the other person with the blanket again.

I don't know if it's because there are people around to take care of her, but Queen Qin is now sleeping without a blanket more often at night...

After taking a shower and brushing his teeth, Ye Bai wasn't sleepy at all, so he simply lay in bed and started scrolling through his phone.

Although he has been back for some time, he finds himself still somewhat disconnected from society, and there is just so much more he needs to learn.

So whenever he has time, he tries his best to read and learn as much as possible.

Just as Ye Bai had been scrolling for a short while, his phone suddenly beeped with a message notification.

Someone added him as a friend on WeChat.

Upon opening it, the person's WeChat nickname was none other than "Senior Fellow Daoist"!

"Could it be..."

Ye Bai's eyes lit up, and he quickly selected "agree".

Although nicknames are repeated many times more often than full names, there are probably not many normal people who would use such a name.

If there are no surprises, the other party should be the one from the forum.

This also explains why the other party was able to add him, because they had his phone number.

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Bai's application was approved, the other party sent him a message.

Veteran Daoist: Did you actually throw away that broken mirror?

This guy is really interested in that black fish Bagua mirror!

A strange light flashed in Ye Bai's eyes, and he replied.

Not interested in women: ...not yet.

This nickname is one he gave himself, meant to remind certain women to have some self-respect and not to constantly lust after themselves.

A seasoned fellow Daoist: Why don't you throw it away already? Aren't you afraid of dying?

Not interested in women: I'm short of money, I can't bear to throw it away...

If it were at the beginning, throwing it away wouldn't have been a big deal.

But after learning that the second wife, Chen Jingmei, and Qin Shengtu's ex-wife, Qu Yunting, both possessed the same black fish octagonal artifact, Ye Bai was completely certain that this thing contained a great secret, so he would never throw it away.

Moreover, Ye Bai had a suspicion that this senior fellow Daoist might also know that secret.

Seemingly to verify Ye Bai's guess, the senior fellow Daoist quickly sent another message.

"...Since that's the case, why don't you sell it to me?"
