"Are you here to have fun?" Zhou Shenye asked instead of answering.

“Yeah, I’m going for a run with my friends,” Zhou He replied immediately.

Zhou Shenye looked at Zhou He without saying a word.

Zhou He immediately realized what was happening and introduced him to Zhou Shenye, "This is Qin Dan, from the Qin family."

"Hello, Uncle!" Qin Dan followed suit, not caring whether it was appropriate to address him that way based on seniority; he simply echoed Zhou He's greeting.

"Hello." Zhou Shenye extended his hand.

Qin Dan was flattered by Zhou Shenye's outstretched hand. "Hello, Uncle! Hello, Uncle!"

"This one?" Zhou Shenye withdrew his hand and turned his gaze to Xie Qingyu.

"This is...this is Xie Qingyu, Uncle, you should know her." Zhou He's voice was soft.

“So it was you.” Zhou Shenye reached out his hand, his gaze falling on Xie Qingyu’s face.

"Hello, Uncle." Xie Qingyu's gaze fell on Zhou Shenye's hand. She slowly reached out her hand, gently placed it on his hand, and then tried to pull it back.

But as soon as I touched her hand, it was grabbed and I couldn't move.

But the person who did this still looked calm and collected, and even patiently asked, "We just met yesterday. I didn't know you were Qingyu. I'm really sorry."

Zhou Shenye said this to Xie Qingyu.

Zhou He reacted first. "Uncle, you saw Qingyu yesterday, when?"

“Yesterday when you went out to pick up Qin Dan, I went to the restroom and couldn’t find our private room when I came back. Luckily, my uncle was kind and took me back to our private room,” Xie Qingyu explained.

"So my uncle was here yesterday too. No wonder Tinghe couldn't be used." Zhou He suddenly realized.

“Yes, I didn’t even recognize you when we met yesterday. I didn’t bring any gift for our formal meeting today, but I’ll make it up to you later.” Zhou Shenye said, still holding onto his hand.

On the surface, Zhou Shenye seemed to be just exchanging pleasantries, which is why he didn't let go of her hand.

But in reality, only Xie Qingyu could feel that the moment their hands met, Zhou Shenye's strength was so great that it was as if he was enveloping her entire hand in his palm, making her unable to move at all.

Even now, his thumb is rubbing the skin on the back of her hand.

Where is the handshake that should be done as a courtesy when meeting someone?

Fortunately, Zhou Shenye wasn't too unreasonable. After he finished speaking, he let go of her hand and said, "You guys have fun. Today's expenses are on me. Let Zhou He pay for you."

Zhou Shenye was speaking to Xie Qingyu.

After saying that, Zhou Shenye left, as if he had just come over to say hello because he saw Zhou He there.

After Zhou Shenye left, the group of people remained standing in the same spot.

For these people, Zhou Shenye was like a position they couldn't reach.

They're not even someone else's child; they're people who can't be compared to at all.

People who might not even have had the chance to meet in their parents' generation are now appearing before them.

The group of people behind them didn't dare to step forward, for fear of saying something wrong and offending Zhou Shenye.

Now that the people are gone, they've become active again.

"Let's go, someone's paying today, Zhou He can't be stingy!"

"Get lost! When have I ever been stingy?" Zhou He retorted defiantly.

They were making a ruckus as they headed off to eat, and Xie Qingyu left with them.

However, what she didn't know was that Zhou Shenye, who had left long ago, actually watched them leave, and even when he saw Xie Qingyu being amused by Zhou He and Qin Dan, a look of annoyance flashed across his face that he himself didn't realize.

Zhou Shenye had to admit that even though he had warned himself countless times in his heart not to think about it anymore, the feeling of his skin touching Xie Qingyu's was imprinted in his mind, constantly reminding him how comfortable that feeling was.

So much so that even though he was trying his best to restrain himself, when he learned that Zhou He was downstairs, he inexplicably found a lame excuse to go and see if Xie Qingyu was there too.

He recognized Xie Qingyu from afar and even overheard Qin Dan and Zhou He talking about losing to Xie Qingyu.

So this is another side of her.

Thinking that one of the two cars he had just seen was driven by Xie Qingyu, Zhou Shenye felt his blood boil, just like when he first got into racing, and he couldn't wait to run a few more laps to show off.

But when he actually stood in front of Xie Qingyu, racing was no longer on his mind.

His eyes were fixed on Xie Qingyu in front of him.

All those late-night thoughts and struggles, all those self-suggestions of "no," are forgotten at this moment.

His only thought was how to run into Xie Qingyu.

So he looked at Zhou He.

Although it was very immoral, Zhou Shenye felt his heart was filled the moment he touched Xie Qingyu's skin, and he didn't want to let go at all.

He didn't know how much self-control it took to let go of Xie Qingyu's hand, and he didn't even remember what he said at the time.

All I remember is that he left a hint that he would give Xie Qingyu a gift when they met again.

This is his little trick.

While Zhou Shenye suffered alone, Xie Qingyu ate and drank well and went home.

Just like when Xie Qingyu left, the atmosphere in the Xie family was not good to begin with, and now it can be said to be even worse.

However, Xie Anshan was not in such a low mood.

"You're back." Xie Anshan, who was on the sofa, waved to Xie Qingyu when he saw her return. "Come and sit down."

"He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated to him," Xie Qingyu said, still giving Xie Anshan some face. "What's wrong? Didn't you go to the company today?"

"Isn't it because of some good news that I'm back?" Xie Anshan's smile made Xie Qingyu raise an eyebrow slightly. She really couldn't figure out what good news he was talking about, since she already had Zhou He as her fiancé.

Moreover, Wang Meilin's expression was not good when he spoke.

Xie Qingyu thought to herself, but outwardly she still pretended to be curious and asked, "What happy event?"

"Of course, it's your and Zhou He's happy occasion." Xie Anshan could hardly hide his smile.

Upon hearing him say that, Wang Meilin couldn't sit still any longer. Her expression changed several times, but she held back from saying anything.

"Get married now?" Xie Qingyu was somewhat surprised.

"Of course not. It's a bit early to get married now, and you two haven't even developed a relationship yet. Your Uncle Zhou and I are suggesting that we hold an engagement ceremony for you first. After all, this is a kind of exchange marriage, and some people don't know about it yet. They might get it wrong if they go out. We can take this opportunity to announce your marriage to Zhou He, so that people won't gossip."

On the surface, Xie Anshan's words were all for Xie Qingyu's sake.

"When?"

"The sooner the better, of course, but it also depends on what Zhou He thinks. Why don't you discuss it with him?" Xie Anshan's tone was a little tentative.

“Sure,” Xie Qingyu readily agreed.

An opportunity that comes knocking on your door.
