Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

The restaurant Zhou Shenye brought Xie Qingyu to was a very private rooftop restaurant, where the two of them were the only guests.

The lights were dim, and soothing music was playing.

No need to order; the various special, limited-edition dishes of the day will start serving as soon as they sit down.

The atmosphere was incredibly ambiguous, but neither of the two people seated seemed to notice it.

"Oh, right, this is for you." Zhou Shenye took a delicate white box from the side and handed it to Xie Qingyu.

"What is this?" Xie Qingyu took it with some confusion.

"This is the gift I promised you last time," Zhou Shenye said with a smile.

"You're so thoughtful." Xie Qingyu clearly remembered that Zhou Shenye had said he would give her a gift when they last met.

I didn't expect that I would actually make it up to her today.

"It's a matter of etiquette, it can't be omitted. Open it and see if you like it?" Zhou Shenye said to Xie Qingyu.

Seeing that he said that, Xie Qingyu had no choice but to open the box and take a look.

Zhou Shenye chose a necklace.

Although you can tell from the outer packaging that it's not cheap, you'll still be a little shocked when you open it and see the actual product.

It must be said that Zhou Shenye has a very good eye.

Several rectangular emerald pendants of varying sizes and lengths shimmered brilliantly under the dim light.

This combination of emeralds and modern jewelry design requires not only a designer with exceptional vision but also a keen aesthetic sense.

"So beautiful~" Xie Qingyu couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhou Shenye smiled when he saw the admiration in Xie Qingyu's eyes, "You can try it on to see if it's the right length. If it doesn't fit, you can exchange it."

"Is it okay?" Xie Qingyu asked, holding the necklace in her hand, still somewhat puzzled by Zhou Shenye's words.

Zhou Shenye had already walked to her side, saying, "Let me help you put it on."

Perhaps it was the sales assistant's thoughtfulness or Zhou Shenye's request, but there was a mirror in the jewelry box.

Zhou Shenye took the necklace from Xie Qingyu and stood behind her. Xie Qingyu picked up a mirror and could see Zhou Shenye's movements.

Gently looping the necklace around her neck, Zhou Shenye placed his hands on Xie Qingyu's neck. Perhaps because the necklace's clasp was rather small, Zhou Shenye's hands occasionally brushed against Xie Qingyu's neck skin.

Having never done such meticulous work before, Zhou Shenye spent a little time putting the necklace on Xie Qingyu.

The moment she put it on, Xie Qingyu couldn't help but look at herself in the mirror. Zhou Shenye, standing behind her, glanced at his empty hands and withdrew his hand with some regret.

Back in his seat, Zhou Shenye looked at the necklace around Xie Qingyu's neck and sincerely praised it, "It's beautiful!"

Zhou Shenye's words were absolutely heartfelt.

Xie Qingyu has very fair skin, and even though she grew up in the countryside, there are no signs of sun exposure or wind damage.

The green gemstones made her skin appear even whiter and more delicate, especially since Xie Qingyu was wearing a glossy top with a wide neckline that almost completely exposed the area below her neck, complementing the gemstones perfectly.

"Thank you for your gift, I really like it."

"I'm glad you like it, it suits you very well." As Zhou Shenye spoke, his gaze fell on the gemstone on Xie Qingyu's chest.

The gemstone chains were of different lengths; the shorter ones were barely visible on the chain, while the longer ones dropped five or six centimeters down, almost reaching the chest.

In particular, the emerald was not very large; its long, narrow shape swayed slightly as Xie Qingyu moved it.

Zhou Shenye had imagined how beautiful Xie Qingyu would look wearing this necklace, but he never expected her to be this beautiful. So much so that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Xie Qingyu's voice was clear and crisp.

Zhou Shenye felt as if he had been slapped back to reality.

"You..." Zhou Shenye instinctively spoke first, but looking into Xie Qingyu's eyes, he couldn't say anything.

“You don’t need to call me Uncle,” Zhou Shenye said first.

He then immediately asked, "They brought you back for a marriage exchange, what are your own thoughts?"

Xie Qingyu was taken aback, probably not expecting Zhou Shenye to ask such a question.

"Thoughts? What thoughts could I possibly have?" Xie Qingyu said casually.

Zhou Shenye put down his chopsticks and looked at her, his eyes filled with reassurance, as if encouraging her to continue.

Xie Qingyu looked at him, her face seemingly showing the same blank expression she had during the race earlier that day.

"They brought me back just to arrange a marriage exchange. I have food and drink because I agreed to the exchange, so I've already benefited. Besides, Zhou He is a good person." After saying this, Xie Qingyu seemed a little unsatisfied and picked up the red wine next to her and drank it.

“You were brought back because you are Xie Anshan’s daughter. Even if you don’t agree to the marriage exchange, you will still have food and drink. You don’t have to agree to the marriage because of these things.” Zhou Shenye’s voice was gentle, as if he was comforting you or coaxing you.

"You won't agree? If you won't agree, how can I be here? Where else can I go?" Xie Qingyu laughed self-deprecatingly.

Zhou Shenye spoke up again at the right moment, "You don't need to worry about that. I heard from Zhou Jin that he's going to hold an engagement ceremony for you and Zhou He. Is that why you're in a bad mood today?"

"It's just an engagement. Zhou He is a good guy. I'm not at a loss," Xie Qingyu said, pouring herself another glass of wine.

Zhou Shenye saw this but didn't stop it; he even pushed the wine towards Xie Qingyu again.

"What's so good about Zhou He?" Zhou Shenye continued to ask, having already heard Xie Qingyu mention Zhou He's good qualities twice.

He's not a bad person.

"Loyal and righteous."

"Looks pretty good."

"rich."

"He's still stupid."

"...and is also willing to get engaged to me."

After downing another full glass of red wine, Xie Qingyu was clearly a little drunk, otherwise she wouldn't have said such a thing.

"Am I a bad person?" Zhou Shenye asked.

"You?" Xie Qingyu looked up at Zhou Shenye, resting her head on her arm. "You're even better. You took me back to my private room and bought me such a beautiful gift."

Xie Qingyu pointed to the necklace around her neck, "This is the first time someone has given me a gift."

"Zhou He never gave it to you?"

Xie Qingyu shook her head.

"That's his fault." Zhou Shenye's voice sounded like he was coaxing a child. He also placed his hand on Xie Qingyu's hand, which was resting on the table, and gently patted it twice, catching the drunk Xie Qingyu off guard.

"What you said seems to make sense," Xie Qingyu murmured.

Zhou Shenye smiled and continued, "How do I look?"

As soon as he asked the question, Xie Qingyu scrutinized his face for a long time before slowly revealing a smile, "Very handsome."

Zhou Shenye's smile widened. "Then I'm richer than Zhou He."

This made Xie Qingyu pause for a moment before she said, "It seems so. They said you're the richest in the Zhou family."

The "they" Xie Qingyu mentioned were none other than the few people from the Xie family.

Zhou Shenye didn't care about that at the moment, and continued to coax, "I'm not stupid, but what if I'm willing too?"
