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

"Nonsense, this is utter nonsense!" Xie Anshan's voice rang out from downstairs.

Wang Meilin's comforting voice rang out, and the two of them gradually lowered their voices.

Xie Qingyu didn't hear what they were saying clearly, but she could basically guess what they were saying.

Especially when she slowly came down, Xie Anshan saw in her eyes a mixture of flattery and guilt, but more than anything, she was trying to forcefully project the image of an authoritative father.

"Ahem, what are you doing down here?" Wang Meilin's voice was somewhat flustered, and her gaze towards Xie Qingyu carried an easily detectable malice.

"Isn't it lunchtime?" Xie Qingyu's face showed just the right amount of surprise, as if she didn't understand Wang Meilin's question.

Seeing her expression freeze, Xie Qingyu finally smiled, "But I won't eat at home, let Qingqing keep you company."

Xie Qingyu didn't miss the moment when she mentioned Xie Qingqing, and both of them froze at the same time.

It was obvious that Xie Qingqing was not at home, and that she had probably gone out with Zhou He.

Xie Qingyu's smile didn't disappear. Instead, she asked Xie Anshan, "Didn't Dad tell me last time to choose an engagement date? Since we couldn't decide on one last time, I think the closest date will be fine."

Xie Qingyu looked at Xie Anshan, waiting for his reply.

Xie Anshan's voice was a little hoarse when he spoke. He was startled when he spoke, and he cleared his throat before saying, "The elders will decide on this time. You don't need to worry about it for now."

"So, you said I should discuss it with Zhou He and choose one? Dad, you decide for yourself. What if Zhou He disagrees?"

"You don't need to worry about that," Xie Anshan said quickly, trying to brush it off.

Xie Qingyu already understood his attitude and saw no need to test him further. Hearing this, she didn't ask any more questions, just like an obedient girl.

Watching her graceful figure walk away, Xie Anshan realized that he hadn't yet asked her where she was going if she wasn't eating at home.

It couldn't possibly be that she went to find Zhou He.

Just as Xie Anshan was about to look away, his heart suddenly pounded as he realized a possibility.

Thinking of Xie Qingyu's outstanding face and her good figure inherited from her mother, Xie Anshan suddenly remembered what Assistant Feng had said yesterday.

A bold idea kept clamoring in Xie Anshan's mind.

Could it be that Zhou Shenye has taken a liking to Xie Qingyu?

Once the thought took hold, it could never be taken back. Xie Anshan recalled Assistant Feng's words and Xie Qingyu's absence all night.

Then I realized that Xie Qingqing had actually been mistaking Assistant Feng for Zhou Shenye for a long time.

The difference is obvious with a little thought.

Xie Anshan seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

Xie Anshan's reaction was within Xie Qingyu's expectations, but it was insignificant.

Zhou Shenye was sitting next to her.

Even Xie Qingyu didn't know why she got into Zhou Shenye's car before she even decided where to go first.

Perhaps it was because Xie Qingyu had lifted the veil of shame, or perhaps Zhou Shenye was in a good mood at the moment.

He had already taken Xie Qingyu's hand in his as she got into the car. Xie Qingyu tried to pull away a couple of times but couldn't, so she looked at him with a direct gaze.

Zhou Shenye didn't even smile under such gazes, but instead said, "I'm having an episode, please bear with me."

The person is shameless.

Invincible.

Xie Qingyu had no idea he could change so much. He used to act like a decent human being, but now he's just a dog.

It was still a wolfhound baring its teeth, eager to pounce.

"Where are you taking me?" Xie Qingyu asked, watching the car smoothly navigate through the city. "I haven't eaten yet."

"Let's go eat." Zhou Shenye switched hands and held Xie Qingyu's hand.

The more contact he had, the less satisfied he felt; he now had to exert himself to resist the urge to hold the person tightly in his arms.

"I'll take you to see a play while I'm at it," Zhou Shenye said, frowning.

Xie Qingyu hadn't expected that Zhou Shenye's talk of watching a play would turn out to be like this.

If Zhou Shenye hadn't been holding her hand, this could barely be considered a case of catching someone in the act.

Xie Qingqing, who was crying in Zhou He's arms, was being comforted by Zhou He, and Qin Dan and his group of brothers arrived around the same time as Xie Qingyu.

The most bewildered person at the scene was probably Qin Dan. He had no idea that he had just come out to have a nice meal with his brothers, and now he had run into such a chaotic situation.

Is this city really that small?

You can encounter such a scene even when you're just having a meal.

Looking at the four people on both sides, Qin Dan didn't even know how to comment.

No, how come people who have already remarried are still hugging each other, without any attempt to hide it from others?

And over here, the uncle and his niece-in-law are holding hands. Is this normal?

Qin Dan suspected that he was still drunk yesterday and was still dreaming.

The sudden silence in the restaurant made Xie Qingqing, who was in Zhou He's arms, realize something was wrong and look up. She saw Xie Qingyu and Zhou Shenye standing at the door across the street.

Xie Qingqing knew Zhou Shenye's identity almost the moment she saw him.

Faced with such an aura and image, Xie Qingqing felt almost absurd that she could have mistaken someone for someone else.

"Aren't you going to explain?" Xie Qingyu asked first.

Zhou He's mouth moved, and there was some panic in his eyes, but he couldn't say anything.

Xie Qingqing opened her mouth, but stopped herself at the last second before she could speak, because she didn't want to expose the truth.

“Uncle…” Zhou He’s gaze fell on the hands that Xie Qingyu and Zhou Shenye were holding, and his eyes instantly reddened.

"Don't embarrass yourself here." These were the first words Zhou Shenye spoke after entering.

A moment later, four people sat down in the private room.

Even Qin Dan, who was outside, didn't dare to follow, no matter how thick-skinned he was. He stood there for a moment, pondered the situation, and decided that Zhou He had only himself to blame, so he left with peace of mind.

We're family after all; we're unlikely to fight.

Qin Dan's thinking was correct. Even if Zhou He acted recklessly outside, he would behave himself in front of Zhou Shenye.

Right now, if it were Qin Dan holding Xie Qingyu's hand, Zhou He would go berserk and beat someone up.

But if it were Zhou Shenye, he could only sit like a quail.

Although he looked honest, his eyes were fixed on Zhou Shenye, as if waiting for an explanation.

In this situation, Xie Qingyu didn't want to provoke Zhou He any further, but she couldn't pull her hand away from Zhou Shenye's grasp no matter how many times she tried.

Xie Qingyu's behavior seemed to trigger Zhou Shenye's protective instincts, causing him to grip Xie Qingyu's hand even tighter, rubbing his thumb under the table, though he didn't show it on his face.

However, the fact that the two people were holding hands was clearly visible to those on the other side.

“When you left her alone at the club, you had already made your decision.” Zhou Shenye said, his gaze shifting to Xie Qingqing. “You had already chosen her, just like now.”

Zhou He wanted to say no, but he couldn't bring himself to open his mouth.

When no one pointed it out, he could comfort himself that it was out of friendship. But just as his uncle said, when he didn't go back to the club that night, he already had a bias in his heart, but he didn't realize it at the time.

There was no danger at the club, but Xie Qingqing was crying very sadly...

Zhou He wanted to say something, but found that he simply couldn't put it into words.

Speaking it out is evidence.
