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

"What? Not going on your date with Young Master Zhao today?"

Not long after, Ye Bai found Han Mengmeng in a teahouse and couldn't help but tease her with a smile.

Today, the little princess of the Han family was dressed very simply, wearing a loose beige sweater on top, light blue skinny jeans on the bottom, and a pair of white sneakers on her feet.

With her hair tied in a simple ponytail, she looked incredibly refreshing, perfectly embodying the image of a youthful and invincible beauty.

This made Ye Bai sigh once again, "The saying 'clothes make the man' and 'gold makes the Buddha' is very true,' but in essence, it is because one's foundation is not good that one needs external things."

For someone like Han Mengmeng, whose natural beauty is exceptional, she looks good in any clothes.

"Ye Bai, are you jealous?"

Han Mengmeng blinked her beautiful, star-like eyes, and her expression turned strange.

"I like to eat a lot of things, but I never like sour things."

Ye Bai shook his head, sat down opposite Han Mengmeng, looked around, and then smiled, "You have very good taste. The environment and style of this place are very classy."

Han Mengmeng nodded and said, "I know you don't like Western things, so this place should suit you better. That's why I'm the one who understands you the most!"

Without a doubt, although they hadn't known each other for long, Han Mengmeng knew even more about Ye Bai's preferences than Qin Wanqing did.

"...Tell me what you want to see me about?"

Ye Bai couldn't respond to that, otherwise Han Mengmeng would definitely start urging him to divorce his wife and marry her again.

Although he is now immune to the bold words of the Han family's little princess, it is still inappropriate for him, as a married man.

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen you in a long time, so I missed you and we got together."

Han Mengmeng spoke casually, while picking up the tea set and personally brewing tea for Ye Bai.

The entire routine was executed with remarkable fluidity and skill, demonstrating an experience that had been honed over several years.

“My grandfather also loves to drink tea, so I’ve been learning from him since I was little. As I learned, I discovered that the art of tea is quite interesting, and it can also cultivate one’s mind and character…”

Sensing Ye Bai's somewhat surprised gaze, Han Mengmeng smiled and said.

“Those who can use the word ‘Tao’ as a suffix are naturally extraordinary.”

Ye Bai smiled and nodded.

He was well-versed in this art, so he naturally had a fondness for people who also loved the art of tea.

"Aren't you even a little bit curious as to why I suddenly agreed to go on a date with Zhao Wuyai?"

After brewing a pot of tea and realizing that Ye Bai still didn't seem inclined to ask any questions, Han Mengmeng finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"I'm curious, why?"

Ye Bai responded while drinking his tea.

"...Could you be any more perfunctory?"

Han Mengmeng sighed helplessly, somewhat losing her composure.

Even the most ethereal and otherworldly fairy can sometimes be overwhelmed by Ye Bai's abnormality.

From this perspective, the fact that Queen Qin was always provoked by Ye Bai and couldn't help but lose her temper doesn't necessarily mean she had a bad temper.

"Did your grandfather force you to go? Don't worry, if anyone dares to bully you, no matter who it is, I'll stand up for you!"

Noticing that Han Mengmeng was a little angry, Ye Bai quickly patted his chest, looking like a righteous and chivalrous man.

"What if it really is my grandfather? How do you plan to deal with him?"

Han Mengmeng's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, clearly showing great curiosity.

"Masking me, putting me in a sack, hitting me with a club, giving me laxatives, stabbing me in the gut... I have many methods!"

Ye Bai counted on his fingers as if he knew them all by heart, listing more than a dozen items without repeating any.

"...What kind of cultivation path are you practicing in the mountains?!"

Han Mengmeng was dumbfounded and, like Qin Wanqing, asked the same soul-searching question.

The main problem is that none of these methods are legitimate, yet this guy talks about them with a proud expression.

That kind of attitude is like telling people, "I have eight doctoral degrees, but they're all fake."

"That's not important, just watch whether I do it or not!"

Ye Bai imitated Shen Lu by rolling up his sleeves and armbands, looking quite imposing.

"Ye Bai, you're so funny! Hehehe..."

Han Mengmeng could no longer hold back and covered her mouth, giggling.

It's strange, but when she's with other people, she rarely talks. Most of the time she's indifferent and just finds being with guys annoying.

But when she was with Ye Bai, she suddenly became the talkative one.

If Ye Bai could say a few more words, she would be very happy, and might even be amused by him to the point of double over.

After laughing for a while, Han Mengmeng said, "Actually, I was the one who took the initiative to agree to go on a date with Zhao Wuyai. Grandpa didn't force me..."

As the youngest princess of the Han family, Han Mengmeng's status within the family can be described as extraordinary.

This can be seen from the fact that Han Anguo gave Han Mengmeng 10% of the Qin Group's shares.

There must be many people in the Han family who are dissatisfied with this, but none of them dare to stand up and oppose it.

It's no exaggeration to say that as long as Han Anguo is alive and healthy, no one in the entire Han family or even the entire Jingzhou would dare to bully Han Mengmeng.

But it was precisely because of this that Ye Bai became increasingly puzzled as to why Han Mengmeng would agree to Zhao Wuyai's pursuit.

Ye Bai could tell that Han Mengmeng didn't like Zhao Wuyai.

He may not be interested in women, but that doesn't mean he's clueless about matters of love.

"I want to find out from Zhao Wuyai what the Zhao family is really up to!"

Han Mengmeng said calmly.

Before Ye Bai could speak, Han Mengmeng continued, "Last time you helped Liao Lei solve his problem, so you must know that the Zhao family was involved, right?"

Ye Bai nodded.

The "Liao Lei" that Han Mengmeng mentioned is the owner of that pet hospital.

Because the Zhao family had their eyes on the land where the pet hospital was located, they sent thugs from Donghetang to coerce and bribe them.

As it turned out, they ran into Ye Bai, and in the end, all their efforts were in vain.

However, this is just a small matter, and it is certainly not worth the Han family's little princess "sacrificing her beauty". There must be some unknown reasons behind this.

So Ye Bai didn't ask any questions and patiently waited for Han Mengmeng to continue.

Because the old master was so talkative, he was trained from a young age to be a very good listener.

She never interrupts, but only interjects at just the right moment to make the conversation more enjoyable.

There was no other way; he had to do it this way, or the old master would really beat him up.

"Although Liao Lei's pet hospital occupies a considerable area, it is located on the edge of the Eighth District, which is basically the suburbs, so its actual value is not great."

"At least, in the eyes of a powerful family like the Zhao family, such a small piece of land is not worth making such a fuss about!"

"By the way, you don't know yet, not long after you helped Liao Lei last time, people from Donghetang went there again. Luckily, I had sent a few bodyguards there beforehand, and I revealed my identity in the end, which scared them off."

"And it was right after this incident that the Zhao family suddenly sent someone to propose marriage to my grandfather, saying that Zhao Wuyai wanted to marry me. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Han Mengmeng continued speaking.
