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

When Ye Bai returned to the private room, the dishes had already begun to be served.

Ye Xuanyuan was not short of money, and moreover, he wanted to please Qin Wanqing and Tong Yan, so he ordered an extremely lavish meal.

"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone, especially Wanqing, we're all family!"

Once all the dishes were served, Ye Xuanyuan waved his hand and said with great pride.

Perhaps stimulated by the beauty, the young master of the Ye family not only looked much better, but his body also seemed to be no longer as weak as before.

His hands were still trembling a little when he picked up the chopsticks and wine glass, but he was still in much better shape than Wu Lao Er next door.

Throughout the meal, Ye Xuanyuan kept raising his glass, mainly to toast Tong Yan.

He definitely couldn't win over Qin Wanqing for the time being. After experiencing many setbacks, the eldest son of the Ye family finally began to recognize reality.

But he didn't know Tong Yan well and thought that with his family background and good looks, winning over this beauty shouldn't be a problem.

In his mind, the quickest way to get a woman into bed is to get her drunk.

As for whether he would sue him for coercion afterward... that's something only ordinary people worry about; the eldest son of the Ye family doesn't care at all.

False accusations are nothing more than attempts to make money, and Ye Xuanyuan happens to have plenty of money.

Faced with Ye Xuanyuan's enthusiasm, Tong Yan couldn't refuse, so she reluctantly drank a few cups. Two blushes slowly rose on her fair face, making her look even more beautiful and charming.

This completely captivated Ye Xuanyuan, who seemed to have rediscovered the long-lost taste of love, and thus became even more attentive.

Zhao Chengfeng, on the other hand, seemed somewhat absent-minded, glancing out of the private room every now and then, as if he were waiting for someone.

"What exactly are you trying to do, you surnamed Ye? You don't actually want to introduce Yan Yan to your idiot older brother, do you?"

Seeing this, Qin Wanqing finally couldn't hold back any longer and whispered through gritted teeth in Ye Bai's ear.

To this day, she still doesn't understand what Ye Bai is really up to.

This guy clearly didn't want her to eat in the Forget-Worry Pavilion from the start. Although he hid his nervousness well, it still couldn't escape her sharp eyes.

In fact, this was the first time Qin Wanqing had ever felt nervous from Ye Bai since they met.

That's why she didn't insist on it later, but instead suggested that Ye Bai and the Qin family's bodyguards go in together.

Unexpectedly, after seeing Ye Xuanyuan and Zhao Chengfeng, Ye Bai suddenly changed his mind as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Not only did they stop stopping her from coming in, they also shamelessly insisted that Ye Xuanyuan and Zhao Chengfeng treat everyone to a meal, so that everyone could sit at one table.

Ye Bai's mysterious actions naturally left Qin Wanqing completely baffled.

She could guess that Ye Bai wanted to cause trouble, but she couldn't figure out exactly what he wanted to do.

It's not that she's not smart enough, but that the other person's thought process is completely different from that of a normal person.

However, she didn't think Ye Bai would really try to matchmake Ye Xuanyuan and Tong Yan; his words just now were merely a test.

Qin Wanqing needed to make sure whether this bastard really wanted to make a move on her best friend.

If it's true, then she really should bring this scumbag to Thailand.

"...Are you trying to push your best friend into a fire pit?!"

Ye Bai kept eating while rolling his eyes.

Half of it was contempt for the Queen of Qin, and the other half was choking with embarrassment.

"So what exactly are you planning?"

Qin Wanqing couldn't stand the way this guy ate, so she reached out and pinched his waist.

However, because there were many people here, including outsiders, they didn't hit as hard as usual.

The pain was still there, but it was within Ye Bai's tolerance.

So after hissed in pain, this guy continued... devouring his food!

There was no way around it; although this private restaurant was a hideout for an assassin organization, the food was genuinely delicious and completely worth the expensive price.

What's more, Ye Xuanyuan is treating us today, and it's a rare opportunity to take advantage of this sucker brother, so of course he can't miss it.

"If you keep hiding it, believe me, I'll pinch you until you question your existence!"

Qin Wanqing placed her slender, fair hand on Ye Bai's waist, gritting her teeth as she issued a threat.

"...I can tell you, but you need to be mentally prepared first."

Ye Bai quickly said.

He swore that this was not a sign of submission to the Qin Queen's tyranny, but simply a matter of not wanting to keep it a secret from her.

"Heh, do you think I'm as ignorant as you, making a fuss over every little thing! I've been in charge of the Qin family for so many years, what storms haven't I weathered!"

Qin Wanqing withdrew her hand, her fair chin held high, looking arrogant.

"This restaurant is the secret hideout of the assassins in Nanhuo Town."

Ye Bai leaned close to Qin Wanqing's ear and whispered something.

With a loud crash, the spoon in Qin Wanqing's hand fell to the ground and smashed onto the plate.

"What's wrong with Wanqing? Are you feeling unwell?"

The others were drawn to the sudden commotion, and Tong Yan asked with concern.

"Uh...it's nothing, I just suddenly spaced out."

Qin Wanqing quickly shook her head, her expression returning to normal in no time.

"You can't even concentrate on a meal? Did Ye Bai upset you again?"

Tong Yan gave Ye Bai a strange look.

They truly are best friends; they're practically in sync when it comes to slandering someone's innocence.

"Xiao Bai, you're really insensible! You're so lucky to have married Wan Qing! You don't treat her like royalty, and you even dare to make her angry?"

Ye Xuanyuan's face darkened, and he began to reprimand.

When it comes to taking on the responsibilities of being the eldest brother, the eldest son of the Ye family has always been a coward.

When given the opportunity to flaunt his adopted son and younger brother in front of others, he never hesitates to do so.

"Hehe, I told you long ago that Ye Bai was no good match. It's a pity that President Qin not only didn't believe me at the time, but also kicked me out of the Qin Group."

A mocking smile crept across Zhao Chengfeng's lips as he joined in.

In terms of the degree of hatred he felt for this adopted son of the Ye family, it was even more intense than that of Ye Xuanyuan.

The reason why he was constantly trying to unite forces to deal with the Qin family and instigating Ye Xuanyuan to hire someone to kill was also largely due to his hatred for Ye Bai.

"Don't talk nonsense. I just told Wanqing that the oysters here taste good and are very nutritious and aphrodisiac. I'll try to eat as many as possible and make sure she's satisfied tonight..."

Ye Bai mumbled incoherently as he devoured the oysters.

"Ye Bai!"

Upon hearing this, Tong Yan and the others' expressions changed, and Qin Wanqing blushed on the spot, unable to resist reaching out and pinching the guy's waist again.

Even if she were the Queen of Jingzhou, she couldn't withstand such lewd words spoken in public.

Ye Xuanyuan and Zhao Chengfeng were so angry that their eyes turned red, wishing they could tear Ye Bai to pieces right now.

It's one thing to show affection in front of them, but to shamelessly talk about their intimate moments is just plainly provoking them.

"Excuse me, I... I need to use the restroom first..."

Tong Yan's pretty face flushed a beautiful blush as she suppressed the strange sensation within her body and fled as if in a panic...
