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

A perfectly good meal almost fell apart because of Ye Bai's utter nonsense.

Fortunately, Queen Qin was there to keep things in check.

"Don't listen to Ye Bai's nonsense. He's a good person in every way, except he has a mouth and never thinks before he speaks..."

After Qin Wanqing said that, Ye Xuanyuan and Zhao Chengfeng, though still harboring resentment, were unable to continue their outburst.

It was Tong Yan who took almost half an hour to come back from the restroom.

Ye Xuanyuan wondered if it was just his imagination, but he suddenly felt that Tong Yan was even more radiant and beautiful than ever before.

Especially the two blushes remaining on her fair and pretty face, which gave her a charming and shy look that was incredibly captivating.

With the return of his youthful appearance, the atmosphere at the dinner party finally returned to normal.

Ye Xuanyuan continued to try his best to please this future beautiful station director, almost to the point of saying that if she slept with him, he could help her get promoted.

Zhao Chengfeng looked out the window more frequently, and seemed to be starting to feel restless.

While Ye Bai continued to enjoy his meal, he and Qin Wanqing whispered and chatted.

Although the table was large, and Ye Xuanyuan and Zhao Chengfeng were sitting opposite them, they shouldn't have been able to hear each other whispering. However, just to be on the safe side, Ye Bai felt it was better to do it this way.

Although Qin Wanqing was a little shy about the action of constantly smelling the other person's scent and feeling the hot breath on her ears, and her pretty face was always slightly red, she did not refuse.

"Are you sure your information is correct?"

Qin Wanqing had completely processed the shock she had felt earlier, but she still found it hard to accept.

Wangyouzhai is not a newly opened shop, but a well-established brand.

With a history spanning over a century, it is a true century-old brand!

It is extremely famous in Jingzhou. Even the governor has dined here several times, and the powerful and famous people are often guests here.

Even many important figures from other places have come here because of its reputation. The reason Qin Wanqing came for the first time was because she had been delayed by other things many times.

The fact that such a famous private restaurant was actually a hideout for assassins is quite a contrast.

“It should be true, Jiang Nuai told me.”

Ye Bai nodded as he munched on a Kobe lobster that was supposedly raised on Kobe beef.

Actually, Jiang Nuai wasn't entirely certain when she said it, since she had never been there before.

This was one of the reasons why Ye Bai sent Qin Zhong and Qin Na to investigate.

Even so, Ye Bai still took it as true.

Even if a huge blunder occurs, it's far less important than the safety of Qin Wanqing and the others.

"Heh, you really trust your little lover, don't you!"

Qin Wanqing sneered, starting her daily jealousy mode.

"...Shouldn't you be more serious about this?"

Ye Bai was about to give Queen Qin a serious lecture when his kidneys were pinched again.

"Then why did you insist on dragging Ye Xuanyuan and Zhao Chengfeng to dinner... You really are worthy of being called Black-Hearted Sixth Brother, your ruthlessness and toughness are unmatched!!"

Qin Wanqing finally realized what was happening, and then her expression became extremely strange.

She had been wondering why Ye Bai had suddenly changed his ways and was willing to hang out with the two people he hated the most. It turned out he was planning to drag two scapegoats down with him!

To be this ruthless is truly unbelievable.

"...Don't talk nonsense."

Ye Bai shook his head, and just as Qin Wanqing thought she might have guessed wrong, she heard him continue, "Is that kind of adjective used to describe the organ 'heart'?"

Queen Qin was taken aback at first, then her pretty face turned so red it was almost dripping with water. She spat out a curse and then reached out and pinched Ye Bai's waist hard.

"Bah! Rogue!"

"I'll fucking splatter all over your face!"

Ye Bai was in so much pain that he grimaced, but his hands were covered in oil, so he couldn't even rub them. In the end, he could only relieve the pain by swearing. He had no idea what this woman was suddenly doing when they were having a good chat.

Is it wrong to temporarily act as a Chinese language teacher who can correct mistakes these days?

"If what Jiang Nuai said is true, wouldn't Yan Yan also be in danger? Would she be implicated by us again?"

Qin Wanqing's pretty face paled as she suddenly thought of the most crucial question.

Caught in the vortex of power struggles within the Qin Group, Qin Wanqing was well prepared for the dangers she might face, knowing that this was the price she had to pay to reclaim her position as president of the Qin Group.

But involving her good friends is definitely the last thing she wants to see.

Upon realizing this, she suddenly regretted not listening to Ye Bai and eating liangpi (cold skin noodles) in the first place.

If Tong Yan had been called out back then, the other party's phone might not have happened to fall into the pool, and naturally, they wouldn't be in this predicament now.

"Don't worry, with me here, all three of you will be fine. Besides, we have two human punching bags."

Ye Bai gestured towards Ye Xuanyuan and Zhao Chengfeng with his lip, offering a word of comfort.

"Hmm, speaking of which, have you noticed that Zhao Chengfeng is acting a little strange?"

Qin Wanqing suddenly said in a low voice.

Women are always observant, especially since Zhao Chengfeng's behavior today is quite unusual.

In the past, if there was an opportunity to dine with her, Zhao Chengfeng would never hesitate to stare at her with burning eyes, even if he didn't show off his knowledge.

Although I occasionally glanced at her today, she mostly looked out the window, appearing restless.

"Could this pretty boy know where this place is?"

Ye Bai's mind suddenly stirred, and a bold guess emerged.

This is not impossible. Zhao Chengfeng disappeared for a while, and now that he dares to reappear, it is obvious that he has found a backer again.

And this powerful backer should not be Ye Xuanyuan.

Ye's eldest son has always been an ambitious but incompetent good-for-nothing, a fact that is no secret in Jingzhou's high society.

Unless Zhao Chengfeng is an idiot, he would choose such a thing as a backer.

Since Ye Xuanyuan isn't the backer, this matter is worth pondering.

Just as Ye Bai was pondering this, Zhao Chengfeng suddenly glanced at his phone, then stood up and said with a smile, "Excuse me, everyone, I'm going to the restroom."

With that, he turned and walked towards the door of the private room.

"Director Zhao, let's go together."

Ye Bai didn't even wipe his hands before rushing to Zhao Chengfeng's side, putting his arm around the other's shoulder, and subtly wiping his hands.

Because he had been keeping a close eye on Zhao Chengfeng, Ye Bai clearly saw the cold glint that flashed in Director Zhao's eyes the moment he looked at his phone.

Furthermore, having already guessed that the other party might know the details of Wangyouzhai, Ye Bai could not allow them to leave the private room.

"...Isn't it unnecessary to do this together?"

Zhao Chengfeng frowned and refused outright.

"Saving water is everyone's responsibility."

Ye Bai's face was full of righteous indignation.
