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

"...Why are you bringing up Han Mengmeng again out of the blue?"

Ye Bai was taken aback. He looked Qin Wanqing over carefully and felt that something was off about her.

"Stop talking nonsense! Answer my question honestly!"

Qin Wanqing glared at Ye Bai and urged him on.

"This time it's got that vibe..."

Ye Bai smacked his lips and shook his head without hesitation, saying, "I don't like it."

Now, all he cares about is money.

He wouldn't even consider getting married and having children until he had earned enough money to support his entire family for the rest of his life.

This is a materialistic society; without money, you can't even talk about feelings.

"Really? That girl is beautiful and young, practically every man's type, and you don't like her?"

Upon hearing Ye Bai's resolute answer, Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes first lit up, but then she became suspicious again.

Just because other men like to eat something doesn't mean it's to my taste.

Ye Bai shook his head, feeling somewhat regretful.

Han Mengmeng is actually a pretty good girl. Not only is she good-looking, but like him, she is also the kind of person with very stable emotions. She basically doesn't throw tantrums or act unreasonably for no reason.

This kind of personality makes people feel very comfortable and at ease around.

Unlike Queen Qin, who gets angry after just a few words and throws a tantrum after just a few, rushing headlong towards menopause every day.

Moreover, his wealth is equally astonishing. Although he cannot compare to Qin Wanqing, he could still provide for Ye Bai for several lifetimes without any problem.

The only pity is that this girl's fate is too good, and there is no way to form a counteracting force to resolve the divine retribution.

"Hehe, the more I talk, the more arrogant you get. So who's to your liking? Zhu Daji? Or your female colleague's lover? Or perhaps..."

Qin Wanqing began to recount the details with great familiarity, and the more she spoke, the more she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

There's nothing we can do; this scumbag has attracted just too many women.

But before she could finish speaking, she suddenly heard a snoring sound.

However, before Ye Bai could finish brewing a pot of tea, he had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

Qin Wanqing subconsciously thought that this guy was pretending to be asleep to avoid being awake, and wanted to wake him up.

But then he remembered Ye Bai and Wang Teng's drinking contest, and in the end he could only snort in annoyance and ask Shen Lu to bring a small blanket from the inner room to cover him up.

Ye Bai slept very soundly, only waking up when Qin Wanqing got off work.

Even though his physical condition is different from that of ordinary people, the alcohol content is still there, and he can only recover quickly by sleeping and drinking water.

After washing his face, Ye Bai was completely sober.

Instead of going back to the Qin family manor for dinner, the group ate at the canteen.

Because they had to go to the hospital that night, news came that Qin Shengshui was out of danger and had been transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward.

As the younger generation, they naturally had to take a look.

Moreover, last time we couldn't determine whether this third uncle was faking his injury or if it was real, so today we can finally find out for sure.

When Ye Bai and his group arrived at the ward, they found that their delicate third aunt was not there.

The only people taking care of Qin Shengshui here, besides the caregiver, are Qin Wanqing's aunt, Qin Yuemei.

Upon seeing Ye Bai and the other person, Qin Yuemei snorted coldly, her face instantly darkening, and she didn't react at all to their greetings.

Clearly, after what happened with Tian Yurou and Yi Wenbo last time, this aunt now has a lot of opinions about Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing.

Fortunately, Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing didn't care about this. Most of the so-called kinship in the Qin family was just a pretense in front of Old Madam Qin.

"By the way, why hasn't your uncle shown up at all?"

Ye Bai couldn't help but lean close to Qin Wanqing's ear and whisper a question.

Ye Bai now has long admired his uncle-in-law, Tian Hongyu, having heard him mentioned by countless people.

But so far, Ye Bai has never met the other party even once.

If they couldn't see each other at the Qin family manor, that would be fine, since Old Madam Qin deeply resented this eldest son-in-law.

But it's not normal that it can't be seen from the outside.

Especially in a case like this, where Qin Shengshui was assassinated and seriously injured, the other party should have come to visit him.

According to Zhao Jianqiang, Tian Hongyu and Qin Shengshui were very close friends.

"...Ye Bai, since you want a divorce, please be more mindful of your behavior and keep your distance! Haven't you heard that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"

When Ye Bai suddenly approached and his hot breath hit her ear, Qin Wanqing's pretty face flushed slightly, and then she snorted and scolded him.

"What? When did I say I wanted a divorce?"

Ye Bai was completely bewildered, wondering what this woman had suddenly decided to do.

"Heh, isn't that what you've always thought? You feel this substitute marriage is unfair to you, and you're dissatisfied with me in every way? Like saying I have small breasts, a bad temper, am stingy, and not gentle, etc."

Qin Wanqing kept sneering.

"How could that be! Absolutely not!"

Ye Bai quickly shook his head, firmly denying it.

Although he didn't know what was going on with Queen Qin, he knew that if the boss was unhappy, the employees wouldn't fare any better.

If you're going to be treated like a beast of burden, you have to be prepared to be one. At this point, you must spare no effort to show your loyalty.

Even if the latter part of what the other party said is indeed true.

"Hehe, I'll settle the score with you when we get back."

Qin Wanqing didn't pursue the topic any further, not only because Ye Bai's attitude satisfied her, but more importantly because they had more important things to do.

The two then went to Qin Shengshui's bedside.

The man who was the most shrewd and had the best chance of becoming the president of the Qin Group among the Qin family's top executives was pale and still unconscious, wearing an oxygen mask.

Qin Wanqing glanced at it a few times but couldn't see anything, so she could only turn her gaze to Ye Bai.

She knows nothing about medicine, so even if she spends a whole day looking at patients, she won't get any results.

Ye Bai didn't rush to reply. Instead, he took a closer look and then placed his hand on Qin Shengshui's pulse.

Everything can be faked, but pulse diagnosis usually can't.

At the very least, Qin Shengshui shouldn't have that kind of ability.

A few minutes later, Ye Bai withdrew his hand, his expression turning strange.

Qin Wanqing quickly moved closer to Ye Bai, but worried that Qin Shengshui was faking unconsciousness, so she didn't dare to ask aloud and could only ask with her eyes.

Look into those beautiful big eyes, they're full of anticipation.

To Qin Wanqing's surprise, Ye Bai completely ignored her meaningful glances.

Instead of offering any explanation, he sat back down on the sofa, closed his eyes to rest, clearly indicating that he didn't want to talk to her.

Qin Wanqing was furious when she saw this, realizing that this petty man was retaliating against her previous actions.

So she didn't bother to indulge him anymore. After sitting down next to Ye Bai, she skillfully reached out her little hand and pinched his waist hard.

"hiss……"

Ye Bai gasped sharply, his eyes widening in pain; he couldn't keep up the act any longer.

He could only rub his lower back in frustration as he whispered in Qin Wanqing's ear, "Your third uncle is indeed seriously injured. It seems that the assassination attempt was real..."
