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

"Yan Yan originally wanted to go to Wang Teng's Cantonese restaurant, but I told her to go somewhere else instead."

Qin Wanqing snorted and said.

She was initially quite happy to reunite with her old friend, but after the drinking contest at Yunqi Pavilion, she developed a dislike for Wang Teng.

She knew very well that Wang Teng still had feelings for her, and that his sudden return to Jingzhou was partly due to those feelings.

But she no longer had any other thoughts. If Wang Teng had returned before she married Ye Bai, she might have considered it.

Now that she is married, she, being a traditional woman, will naturally choose to remain faithful to her husband until the end.

Unless Ye Bai takes the initiative to ask her for a divorce, the marriage will continue.

This was the answer she came up with after careful consideration over several days to the questions Han Mengmeng had asked her that day.

She handed over the initiative in the divorce directly to Ye Bai.

If the other party doesn't want to continue the relationship with her, she naturally won't shamelessly try to keep them.

However, if Ye Bai herself is unwilling to get a divorce, then it's not a question of whether she is delaying the other party's life.

So before this marriage ended, she was Ye Bai's rightful wife, even if only in name.

Wang Tengming knew this, yet he still had designs on her. This not only shows a problem with his moral character, but is also an insult to her.

She wasn't the kind of woman who was morally questionable, and she had no interest in having extramarital affairs.

Whether it's ambiguity or reality, she has always abhorred such things.

Knowing all this, Wang Teng still wanted to embarrass Ye Bai to achieve his goal, and even shamelessly took hangover medicine in advance, which is truly despicable.

The most ridiculous thing is that even though he used any means necessary, he still failed to embarrass Ye Bai. Instead, he ended up vomiting in front of everyone.

Even if Qin Wanqing wouldn't turn against such a person with such poor character over this matter, she would definitely keep her distance and try her best to avoid any further contact.

"Pity……"

Ye Bai and Shen Lu exchanged a glance, then shook their heads and sighed in unison.

Two foodies, one big and one small, can be quite in sync at times.

Although Wang Teng's character isn't great, the food at that Cantonese restaurant was indeed delicious.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at the place they had agreed to meet Tong Yan.

Ye Bai was familiar with this place; it was the old street.

Feng's Antique Shop, as well as the snack street, are all located in this area.

This made Ye Bai and Shen Lu curious. Neither of them were picky about where they ate; they didn't care whether it was a big hotel or a small restaurant, as long as the food was good.

Take the food street here, for example; they've come here quite often to buy food.

In their memories, this place should have been a small shop, not a place where Tong Yan would treat them.

Although that beautiful station director never put on airs and wasn't as fussy as Queen Qin, she was still quite particular about some things.

Especially in matters of etiquette.

The shops here are more suitable for couples or friends to have a date or dinner together, or for foodies like Ye Bai and Shen Lu.

If it's a formal invitation, then it's a step below.

Qin Wanqing deliberately kept Ye Bai and Shen Lu hanging, knowing the location but not revealing it, and strolled around there with great interest, her happy mood practically written all over her pretty face.

Ye Bai was so angry that his teeth itched. He knew that the other party was doing it on purpose. This woman seemed to have figured something out in the last two days and was no longer as preoccupied as she had been a few days ago.

But as Queen Qin's mood improved, she also became noticeably more detestable.

Ye Bai felt he should study how to strengthen his husbandly authority.

As a real man, you can't always be pinned down by a woman; you have to ride on top at least once.

But then he remembered that although he wasn't after her body, he was after her money, and suddenly he lost a lot of confidence.

As the lowest-ranking employee, it's really difficult to manage the boss who pays your wages.

"Life is tough these days..."

Finally, Ye Bai let out a long sigh and decided to endure it.

I just bought a car and I'm really short on cash.

Next, Ye Bai and Shen Lu went to the side and bought a few large skewers of mutton, and started eating them with gusto.

Whether or not the Queen of Qin was tempted was not important; what mattered was satisfying her cravings first.

The large lamb skewers at the snack street are a specialty; they are not only generous in portion but also made with real, fresh lamb, not imitations like duck or rat meat.

Every time Ye Bai and Shen Lu come, they have to eat a few skewers, the kind that are so oily they're practically dripping with grease.

"Miss, please have a skewer, it's really delicious!"

Shen Lu eagerly sent a string of skewers to Qin Wanqing as well. This was a good habit she had developed since childhood: no matter what delicious food it was, she would always share it with her young mistress first.

"Lulu is such a good girl and so sensible, unlike some ungrateful wretches who only care about eating! But I'm on a diet recently, so I won't eat this kind of greasy food. You shouldn't eat too much either, or you won't be able to eat your main meal later..."

Qin Wanqing patted Shen Lu's head and praised her, then glared at Ye Bai fiercely.

Clearly, the "white" in "white-eyed wolf" is the same character in someone else's name.

"Miss, why did you suddenly start dieting? Is it because your husband said you were fat?"

While eating lamb skewers, Shen Lu blinked her big eyes and asked with a cute, blank expression.

"...This silly girl is really smart, she always brings up the most awkward things."

Ye Bai, who was enjoying his meal, suddenly froze. He quickly moved a few steps away to keep a distance from Qin Wanqing, so that she wouldn't pinch his waist again.

The Queen of Qin used to be very conscious of her image, especially in public, but that's hard to say now.

"Hehe, yes, your son-in-law likes those skinny legs, otherwise why would he be going to the hospital every day!"

As expected, Qin Wanqing started gritting her teeth and bringing up old grievances again after Shen Lu mentioned it.

"Put the bamboo stick legs aside for now, these big bamboo skewers are really delicious."

Ye Bai ignored Queen Qin's sarcastic remarks and continued to eat with relish.

When people enjoy delicious food, their mood improves, and even those they dislike become more agreeable.

Just like those goddesses who clearly dislike simps, yet still occasionally accept invitations from them, and that's precisely why...

Ye Bai felt the same way, so he acted very magnanimously and didn't hold a grudge against Qin Wanqing.

He considered himself a male god, even though he paid for the lamb skewers himself.

After Ye Bai and Shen Lu each ate five large lamb skewers, they finally arrived at the place Tong Yan had chosen.

It was an old house with a quaint and antique feel. Red lanterns hung on both sides of the gate, and there was a faded plaque under the gate tower with three large characters written in clerical script.

Forget-Worry Studio.

"Wait... are you sure this is the place?"

Upon seeing the plaque clearly, Ye Bai's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he stepped forward, shielding Qin Wanqing and Shen Lu behind him.

At that moment, he suddenly recalled what Jiang Nuai had said that afternoon.

"That outpost... was a very old house. Now... it seems to have been converted into a restaurant, and its name is... 'Forget-Worries Studio'..."
