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

"Teacher Ye...? What...what are you doing here?"

Seeing Ye Bai standing in front of the clinic locking the door, Jiang Nuai was so surprised that her mouth dropped open, and she was completely dumbfounded.

Ye Bai was also a little confused, but he quickly realized what was going on and couldn't help but laugh: "Is this the clinic where you used to get medicine for Kou'er?"

Jiang Kou'er originally lived in District 8. Ye Bai had treated her before, and although her condition had greatly improved, she could not be cured immediately and would need to take medicine for a period of time.

In the subsequent drug-assisted treatment phase, Ye Bai naturally couldn't help buy and prepare medicine every day, so he simply gave Jiang Nuai a prescription and let her prepare it herself.

Anyway, there are pharmacies everywhere now, and the herbs in the prescriptions are all common and readily available, so there's no problem finding them.

"Yes, I've always gotten my medicine from Dr. Shao, but... but..."

Jiang Nuai nodded subconsciously at first, then looked at the key in Ye Bai's hand and started stammering again.

"Well, Dr. Shao sold this clinic to me, and now it belongs to the Ye family."

Ye Bai smiled, left the door unlocked, and led Jiang Nuai inside.

The "Dr. Shao" mentioned by Jiang Nuai was the former owner of this clinic.

"You...you bought it?"

Jiang Nuai was even more dumbfounded, as she knew that Ye Bai was the son-in-law of the Qin family.

With the Qin family's wealth, they could easily buy not only a clinic, but the entire Eighth District.

To her surprise, Ye Bai suddenly bought a clinic.

Ye Bai's medical skills are superb, there is no doubt about that.

He can be considered a true miracle doctor even in the entire Jingzhou!

Running a clinic is more than enough.

For ordinary people, the purpose of opening a clinic is, of course, to make money.

The key question is, is Ye Bai short of money?

With a wife who is a CEO worth hundreds of billions, you could spend all the money in the family even if you spent ten lifetimes.

Moreover, even if Ye Bai didn't become a kept man, his superb medical skills alone would allow him to easily treat wealthy and powerful figures, earning him more than the clinic's annual profits.

So no matter how you look at it, Ye Bai could never be someone who's short of money.

On the contrary, giving free lectures at medical schools would be more in line with Ye Bai's status and prestige.

In Jiang Nuai's eyes, this Teacher Ye is absolutely a living legend.

He's strong in combat, has excellent medical skills, and is good-looking... he's practically the perfect male archetype.

"Yes, I bought it. I have plenty of free time anyway, so I might as well help people treat their illnesses."

Ye Bai smiled and nodded.

Of course he had no idea what Jiang Nuai was thinking, otherwise he would have cried and begged her to tell her that he was actually really short of money!

He certainly has a lot of ways to make money.

The crucial point is that without the counteracting influence of Queen Qin's unlucky fate, he couldn't spend the money he earned.

So in a sense, those people weren't wrong; he really is a gigolo!

He earns his living through his own abilities, not through his looks.

"Professor Ye, you are so great! We medical students should be dedicated to saving lives! I was too narrow-minded before and didn't understand your compassion!"

Jiang Nuai's big eyes were now sparkling with countless little stars, and her expression as she looked at Ye Bai was one of utter adoration!

"...I just wanted to test whether I could spend the money I made by partnering with Queen Qin. It's not that noble, is it?"

This time, Ye Bai was a bit dumbfounded. He muttered something to himself and then gave up trying to explain.

He also cares about his image; what men fear most is others thinking they are poor.

“Teacher Ye, you must be too busy to handle everything by yourself, right? How about this, I’ll come and help you when I have time. Especially on Saturdays and Sundays, since I’m off anyway…”

Jiang Nuai spoke again, her pretty face full of anticipation.

"Pah! Shameless woman! She's even offering herself up for bed!"

Seeing this, Shen Lu, who had been silently observing from the sidelines for a long time, finally couldn't hold back and cursed in her heart.

She knew this female teacher still harbored feelings for her son-in-law, and now it was finally confirmed.

When we get back, we must tell the young lady!

"Sure, it would be great if you could come and help!"

Ye Bai didn't think much of it and nodded happily instead.

Although Jiang Ai learned medicine later in life and did not come from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, she has a good talent for medicine.

Moreover, he was a teaching assistant at a medical school, which meant he was a professional.

I'm more than capable of helping out at this little clinic.

Since it was getting late, Ye Bai didn't chat with Jiang Nuai for long. After getting the medicine for her, he locked the door and left.

Jiang Nuai originally wanted to pay for the medicine, but Ye Bai refused, considering it payment for her future help at the clinic.

He's not like Qin the Skinflint; he wouldn't do something as heartless as making oxen and horses work without giving them grass.

"Hmph! Young master, you broke your promise! I'm going to tell Miss that you were having a date with your female colleague at the clinic!"

On the way back, Shen Lu drove while puffing out her cheeks, clearly very unhappy.

"...How could I go back on my word?"

Ye Bai asked, somewhat puzzled.

As for the little girl's plan to complain, he had no doubt whatsoever.

Although Lulu isn't very bright, she's absolutely a master at tattling.

"Hmph! You promised me I'd have medicinal food today, but you've been working all day and haven't gotten to eat any!"

Shen Lu's face grew even rounder with anger, making her look even more like a large steamed bun.

"Uh... I really forgot about that. How about we eat it tomorrow? I guarantee you'll drool and won't be able to stop eating!"

Ye Bai said with a smile.

Actually, he didn't forget on purpose, but making medicinal cuisine is not that simple. Both the ingredients and the medicinal herbs used as accompaniments need to be prepared and processed.

I was busy cleaning and tidying up the clinic today, so I really didn't have any free time.

"My son-in-law is the best! I won't tell on him!"

Shen Lu cheered and became happy again.

"..."

Ye Bai was speechless upon seeing this; this girl was just too easy to bribe.

If this happened during wartime, he would definitely be a traitor, the kind of person who would betray his country with just a chicken leg.

However, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing for Ye Bai. Although he had a clear conscience and wasn't afraid of being misunderstood by Qin Wanqing, he didn't want to listen to her nagging incessantly.

Especially now that the Queen of Qin not only likes to talk but also likes to fight, if she does both at the same time, he won't be able to handle it.

As the car slowly drove out of District 8, Ye Bai suddenly had a thought and asked, "Lulu, do you think that after Yan Yangshuo and Hattori Sakura escaped, they might secretly run back and continue hiding in District 8?"

Ye Bai asked this question casually, not expecting the little girl with a small brain to provide an answer.

To his surprise, Shen Lu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she said, "Young master, young master, I know that! The most dangerous place is the safest place. They must be hiding in that Buddhist supplies shop!"
