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

"Is there something you need, Mr. Wang?"

Ye Bai nodded, and after Wang Teng sat down, he asked, feigning curiosity.

He and the other person were not only unfamiliar with each other, but they also disliked each other intensely.

Ye Bai had already clearly sensed Wang Teng's hostility when they were at the Cantonese restaurant last time.

Moreover, he had already examined the other party's face and knew what kind of person he was.

Based on Ye Bai's consistent personality, he had no interest in engaging in pretense with such a person.

But since the other party took the initiative to contact us, this seems to be an opportunity to find out what this guy's purpose is.

That's why Ye Bai didn't refuse.

"Actually, it's nothing much, it's just that it's rare for us to get together, and I wanted to have a few more drinks with you."

Wang Teng smiled, looking quite debonair.

"I'm sorry, I don't drink much."

Ye Bai shook his head.

He wasn't particularly fond of alcohol, but he wasn't actually averse to it either.

To put it simply, it means someone who isn't addicted to alcohol; they can drink or not drink.

However, there is a prerequisite for drinking it.

I only drink with people I can have a good conversation with.

For example, having a good drink with an old friend like Ding Shuai is a very enjoyable thing.

At the very least, it has to be someone you get along with, like Zheng Wushuang, Li Fengyun, or the Xie brothers.

He never liked that kind of social drinking, and he wasn't even interested in taking a couple of sips as a formality.

There's a saying that goes, "True friends will never force you to drink."

So the people who force you to drink are never your friends, and there's no need for you to drink with them.

"What a coincidence, I don't actually drink much, but it's rare for everyone to get together today, and we're all in such good spirits, so we should drink to our hearts' content."

"Fengyun, don't you think so?"

Wang Teng smiled, then looked at Li Fengyun and asked.

"Young Master Wang, don't ask me. I'm not familiar with this guy."

Li Fengyun shook his head decisively, quickly distancing himself from Ye Bai.

Although he was sometimes confused, he wasn't stupid, and he naturally realized that Wang Teng's intentions were not good.

In this situation, he certainly wouldn't blindly agree and let the other party succeed.

The Wang family was once a prominent and wealthy family in Jingzhou. After going to Shanghai to acknowledge their ancestral roots, their strength increased even further, and they have become a member of a prestigious family!

Even though the Li family is one of the four great families in Jingzhou, they wouldn't dare to provoke such a behemoth easily.

Aristocratic families are true powerful clans, standing above even the most powerful families.

Therefore, although he wanted to stand on Ye Bai's side, he couldn't easily show it.

There are just too many things that family members need to consider.

Most importantly, there were some conflicts between the Li family and the Wang family back then, and he was even more worried that he might implicate Ye Bai because of himself.

Taking one's anger out on others is something that scions of wealthy families have always been adept at.

"Hehe, it's been many years, Fengyun, you're starting to distance yourself from me."

Wang Teng smiled slightly, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

However, he did not argue with Li Fengyun, but looked at Ye Bai again and smiled, "Do you have some misunderstanding about me? Whether you look at it from Wanqing's perspective or from Sister Ruyan's perspective, we should be the closest people."

Ye Bai shook his head decisively: "Young Master Wang, you're overthinking it. I prefer to keep my distance from others. Getting too close to people isn't good for anyone."

Ye Bai, if you're good at chatting, then chat a little longer!

Upon hearing this, Li Fengyun and the Xie brothers' eyes lit up instantly. If Wang Teng hadn't been there, they would have given Ye Bai a thumbs up.

Wang Teng, the eldest son of the Wang family, didn't have a good relationship with them back in Jingzhou, and even bullied them quite a bit.

However, regardless of their methods or background, they were no match for Wang Teng and could only suffer in silence.

Seeing Ye Bai confronting Wang Teng here, they naturally felt very satisfied.

"Mr. Ye, I just wanted to have a couple of drinks with you, are you really going to be so disrespectful?"

Having been humiliated time and again, Wang Teng was losing face, and his expression turned gloomy.

Just as Ye Bai was about to say, "Who do you think you are? What face do you have?", Ye Ruyan suddenly walked over and said with a smile, "Xiao Bai, Young Master Wang is a big client of our Ye family. You have to treat him well."

Wang Teng snorted coldly, "Sister Ruyan, you flatter me too much. I am not qualified to have you, the younger brother who has become the son-in-law of the Qin family, drink with me."

"What do you mean?"

Ye Ruyan was taken aback at first, then frowned and looked at Ye Bai, saying, "Xiao Bai, how did you offend Young Master Wang?"

Ye Bai said helplessly, "I told you I don't drink, and Young Master Wang got angry..."

"Hey, I thought it was something serious! Why don't you have a drink with Young Master Wang? Your older brother isn't fully recovered and can't come today, so you can keep him company while he drinks!"

"Leaving aside others for now, you must appease Young Master Wang, or I won't let you off the hook!"

Ye Ruyan was both amused and exasperated, and immediately assigned Ye Bai a task.

"Alright, since my sister said so, I'll have a couple of drinks with Young Master Wang. But let me make it clear first, I can't hold my liquor, I'll only have three drinks at most, otherwise people will laugh at me if I drink too much."

Ye Bai looked at Wang Teng with a worried expression and said.

"Sure, three cups it is. I won't make things difficult for you."

Wang Teng glanced at Han Mengmeng sitting next to Ye Bai and revealed a meaningful smile.

Soon, Wang Teng had someone bring wine and glasses.

After seeing it clearly, everyone was dumbfounded.

Li Fengyun and the Xie brothers, in particular, stared wide-eyed.

It's one thing that the wine isn't red wine but a strong XO, but what's most eye-catching are those two glasses.

Instead of normal liquor glasses, they were two oversized beer mugs.

Although it is made very delicately, not like the cylindrical ones sold at roadside stalls, but rather a shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, it is still 20 centimeters tall and its capacity is estimated to be at least 700 or 800 milliliters!

Converted to the common unit of weight, one cup is more than one jin!

If it's beer, drinking one glass is no problem at all; anyone who knows a little about alcohol can basically drink it.

Using this thing to drink foreign liquor? Is this even drinking? It's practically trying to kill someone!

"It's settled, just three cups. Not one more, not one less."

Wang Teng flashed a sunny and handsome smile, his eyes radiating an almost palpable sense of pride.

From the very beginning, he never intended to have a proper drink with Ye Bai; instead, he wanted to use this method to embarrass him.

Qin Wanqing was the girl he had liked since childhood. In fact, if the Wang family hadn't moved from Jingzhou to Shencheng, he felt that he would have married her and had children by now.

Of course, this is on the premise that we do not know that Qin Wanqing has a fate of bringing misfortune to her husband.

Now everyone knows that Queen Qin is destined to bring misfortune to her husbands. Not only would the royal family never agree to him marrying her, but he himself wouldn't dare to either.

For a successful and destined-to-be-glorious young master like him, love is at most a condiment, far less important than his own life.

But he didn't dare to marry her, nor could he bear to watch the woman he hadn't even gotten end up being given away to someone else.

So from the moment Ye Bai arrived, the other person's name had already been marked with a big red cross!
