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

Even though Zhou He didn't seem to have changed at all, Xie Qingqing knew that some things could never be the same again.

In particular, she watched as Zhou He took out his phone, glanced at it twice, and then stuffed it back into his pocket.

The lies she told herself on the way here no longer held water.

"Zhou He." Xie Qingqing's voice trembled slightly; she had subconsciously called out Zhou He's name upon seeing his actions.

When Zhou He looked up at her, everyone else's eyes also fell on her.

When Xie Qingqing saw that they were all looking at her, she subconsciously composed herself and put on a polite smile.

When Zhou He saw Xie Qingqing, he clearly wanted to avoid her, but then he saw Xie Qingqing walking towards him.

Amidst the cheers and jeers of the crowd, he still walked towards Xie Qingqing.

"Let's talk over there," Zhou He said in a low voice as he walked up to Xie Qingqing.

Xie Qingqing turned her gaze away from the group of people behind Zhou He, and the way they looked at her changed.

"Okay." Xie Qingqing agreed and obediently followed Zhou He to a side away from the crowd.

This is a rare instance of Xie Qingqing being so obedient around Zhou He.

Zhou He stopped in place, irritably rubbing his head before looking at Xie Qingqing.

Xie Qingqing kept Wang Meilin's instructions firmly in mind at this moment, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Zhou He.

Zhou He quickly looked away when he saw Xie Qingqing's eyes, as if he had been burned. It took him a while to find his voice and say, "I know why you came. This was my decision."

When Zhou He spoke, he didn't look at Xie Qingqing, but instead looked towards the distant mountains.

Only after he spoke did he seem to feel relieved and look Xie Qingqing in the eye.

Tears were streaming down Xie Qingqing's face, and her voice was hoarse, making it hard to believe, "Why?"

Zhou He rummaged in his pocket for a while before finally finding a tissue and handing it to Xie Qingqing, but Xie Qingqing didn't take it.

"I don't plan to get married right now," Zhou He said.

"But that didn't mean we'd get married right now." Xie Qingqing didn't believe his reason at all. "Have you fallen for Xie Qingyu?"

"No," Zhou He quickly denied.

He genuinely admired Xie Qingyu, and felt a sense of pride when she was his fiancée.

But he also knew that he hadn't reached the point of liking her yet.

"So why did you break off the engagement? Is it because I'm the one who got married again?" Zhou He found it hard to handle Xie Qingqing's silent tears.

"There's no reason, I just don't want to get married. We've been engaged since we were little, and I've always considered you my fiancée. My attitude towards you is different from how I treat other girls, and you know that." Zhou He turned away as he spoke, avoiding looking at Xie Qingqing.

Without waiting for Xie Qingqing's reply, Zhou He continued, "But you know what happened next. When your father brought Xie Qingyu to my house, I immediately called you to ask what was going on, but you didn't answer or reply to my messages."

Xie Qingqing panicked upon hearing this, "I didn't..."

“You don’t need to say anything.” Zhou He turned around, his eyes filled with sadness.

Under that gaze, Xie Qingqing couldn't find the words to explain.

She knew that no matter what she said, Zhou He wouldn't believe her.

"That's fine then," Zhou He said, and turned to leave.

At that moment, Xie Qingqing grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Zhou He, don't you want me anymore?"

Xie Qingqing's voice trembled; she was truly panicked at this moment. It was like trying to fill a basket with water—a complete waste of effort.

Her only thought now is to catch Zhou He. Before, Zhou He could come over with just one phone call from her.

She couldn't believe Zhou He could be so heartless now.

"Let's part amicably. What I meant by breaking off the engagement is simply removing the shackles from you. Perhaps we'll both meet the right person in the future, provided you know what you want. Qingqing, you came to me as a second choice, and what you really want isn't me." After saying this, Zhou He resolutely left.

Xie Qingqing was left standing there, bewildered.

How could things have turned out like this in just over a month?

Everything that happened at the race was told to Zhou Shenye.

Zhou Shenye made no attempt to conceal Xie Qingyu's presence. After listening to the report, he didn't say anything, only telling people not to worry about Zhou He's affairs anymore.

Xie Qingyu stood at the bar, drinking her beverage, and listened without saying a word. She didn't look away when Zhou Shenye looked at her.

Zhou Shenye walked over, spontaneously put his arm around Xie Qingyu's waist, and took a sip from her cup.

"What do you think?" Zhou Shenye asked after finishing his drink.

"Zhou He?" Xie Qingyu asked, sounding a little lazy.

"Hmm." Zhou Shenye's gaze was still on Xie Qingyu's face. Although he knew that Xie Qingyu had never been interested in Zhou He, he always wanted to know Xie Qingyu's attitude when the topic came up.

“You did a good job this time, but Xie Qingqing isn’t so easily appeased. If he can hold on, he might have a better future. If he’s soft-hearted, he’ll keep bothering you for a while longer…” Xie Qingyu looked at Zhou Shenye. “Of course, it depends on whether you interfere or not.”

“The Xie family won’t last long…” Zhou Shenye didn’t hide anything. Ever since Xie Qingyu said those things last time, he had been calculating the Xie family’s business, which should belong to Xie Qingyu.

Zhou Shenye meant that the Xie family wouldn't last long, and even if Xie Qingqing wanted to cling to Zhou He, she probably wouldn't have the chance.

"You can target the Xie family, but don't touch the company's business lines." Xie Qingyu knew about Zhou Shenye's private actions.

Xie Qingyu would rather the Xie family's money be used for charity than let it fall into Xie Anshan's hands, and she certainly didn't want Wang Meilin, who had caused the original owner to suffer in the countryside, to continue enjoying the life of a wealthy lady.

"I know what I'm doing." Zhou Shenye kissed Xie Qingyu's forehead.

The collapse of a company means countless people will lose their jobs, and Zhou Shenye would not take such an extreme approach without a very good reason.

However, Xie Anshan encountered numerous setbacks, with several projects losing money. When he finally had to seek investment, the Xie family was no longer under his control.

"We'll get married once things are settled with the Xie family," Zhou Shenye murmured softly, pressing his forehead against Xie Qingyu's.

"Then it's up to you." Xie Qingyu's fingers traced Zhou Shenye's collar, her eyes carrying a seductive glint.

"Wait for me." Zhou Shenye bent down and hugged Xie Qingyu in his arms, giving her a good squish.

During this period, Xie Qingyu and Zhou Shenye slept together at night, but they never went all the way.

This is Zhou Shenye's problem.
