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

Chapter 38 A Plum Blossom from Heaven is worse than a Childhood Sweetheart

"What?" Zhou Shi's voice sounded somewhat shrill in the quiet restaurant, "Marriage?"

"Calm down." Dong Ling, who was sitting next to Zhou Shi, rolled her eyes at him.

They happened to be nearby today, and when they learned that Xie Qingyu was with Shen Shen, they simply invited them to have dinner together.

Dong Ling learned of this news two days earlier than Zhou Shi because Xie Qingyu invited her to be a bridesmaid and asked for her size so that a bridesmaid dress could be made.

"That's too fast!" Even Master Zhou didn't expect them to be so quick.

After all, Fu Yan and Xu Yan had been entangled for so long without getting married, so he thought that Fu Yan would be the first to get married. He didn't expect Shen Shen to act so quickly.

"I can't wait." Shen Shen couldn't suppress the smile on his lips as he spoke.

Zhou Shi was so angry he couldn't help but say, "You're not afraid that if you don't hurry up and marry Qingyu, someone else will snatch her away, are you?"

"Who can beat me?" Zhou Shi's words were not offensive to Shen Shen at all, and left Zhou Shi speechless with just one sentence.

"Qingyu, it's not good for you to get married at such a young age. You should enjoy yourself for a few more years." Zhou Shi couldn't persuade Shen Shen and began to try to convince Xie Qingyu.

"If you can't speak properly, then shut up," Shen Shen said, stopping Zhou Shi's provocation.

Zhou Shi was just joking. He had liked Xie Qingyu a little before, but it was just admiration for an outstanding girl, far from being romantic. After learning that Shen Shen and Xie Qingyu were together, he had long since let go of it.

He simply couldn't stand seeing Shen Shen so smug.

"Uncle Xie is really something, how could he so easily agree to let Qingyu marry you?" Zhou Shi muttered to himself.

“You know how much Uncle Xie likes him,” Dong Ling retorted.

In their circle, Shen Shen and Fu Yan are both considered "other people's children." Moreover, compared to Fu Yan, who was willing to give up his family's company for a woman, Shen Shen, who was able to take over the company at a young age and manage it to a higher level, is the true heir.

Xie's father has frequently expressed his fondness for Shen Shen in public.

With a son-in-law like this, what could be more joyful?

If she could find a son-in-law like Shen Shen, her father would probably be eager to marry her off that very day, Dong Ling thought to herself.

“Sigh, that’s true.” It was rare for Zhou Shi not to argue with Dong Ling. “It’s obvious to everyone that Uncle Xie likes Brother Shen.”

"I just didn't expect you two to get married so quickly," Zhou Shi said with some emotion. "Brother Fu and Sister Xu Yan aren't even married yet."

“There’s still a lot of drama going on at Fu Yan’s family, so things won’t be that quick between them,” Shen Shen said incisively.

Over the past three years, Fu Yan's insistence on pursuing Xu Yan has caused a major rift with his family, but that doesn't mean he can sever the relationship. If he wants to get married, Fu Yan will probably still find a way to get past his family's objections.

“That’s true, they’re different from you two.” Zhou Shi watched as Shen Shen, sitting opposite Xie Qingyu, put her favorite dishes on her plate and poured her water when her cup was empty.

"Did you have your eye on Qingyu since she was little, and you wanted to raise her like a wife, so that you could marry her when she grew up?" Master Zhou asked.

Shen Shen was too lazy to pay attention to him when he heard this, but he was also afraid that if he didn't say anything, the man would really think so. "I'm not a pervert."

"Pretty much the same." Master Zhou felt there wasn't much difference.

"Why are you so resentful about their marriage?" Dong Ling looked at Zhou Shi as if he were an idiot, which immediately annoyed him.

"What's with that look? I'm just a little surprised."

"Just eat your food," Dong Ling said, ignoring him.

Xie Qingyu watched the two of them interact, exchanged a glance with Shen Shen, and neither of them spoke.

"Am I the first to know? Does Fu Yan know?" Zhou Shi changed the subject.

"I haven't told him yet." Shen Shen shook his head. He had been preparing things for the past few days, and the invitations were not yet ready, so he hadn't notified anyone.

“He should know.” Xie Qingyu suddenly looked up. “I told Sister Xu Yan, and Sister Xu Yan should have already told him.”

"I'm not even the first one to know this," Zhou Shi said, feigning displeasure.

“I already knew that,” Dong Ling said, deliberately provoking him.

“You don’t count.” Zhou Shi thought to himself that the others in their circle probably didn’t know yet. Fu Yan also found out from Xu Yan, so he was the first to find out from Shen Shen. That was alright.

"You'll be the best man and maid of honor then," Xie Qingyu said.

The other pair of best man and maid of honor were Fu Yan and Shen Shen.

When Shen Shen called Fu Yan, Fu Yan immediately offered his congratulations.

"It seems you already know." Shen Shen called Fu Yan after returning to his office.

Since he had already told Master Zhou, he definitely needed to inform Fu Yan personally; it wasn't enough for him to just find out from Xu Yan.

"Such a joyous occasion, Yan Yan told me the moment she heard about it."

"Come be my best man," Shen Shen announced.

"I didn't expect to be your best man first," Fu Yan laughed. "You're quick on the uptake."

"If you're not quick enough, you won't get a wife. Aren't you a perfect example?"

"You really are something." Fu Yan was speechless. They had been friends for so many years, and he had been teased by Shen Shen and Zhou Shi countless times over this matter. He was used to it by now.

But I still get angry when I hear it now.

Shen Shen laughed when he heard his tone.

Fu Yan's pursuit of his wife was self-inflicted; it was precisely because of his example that he was able to seize the opportunity the moment he realized his feelings, instead of hesitating and agonizing.

Otherwise, like Fu Yan now, although he has won the heart of the beauty, he has wasted three years of his life, and there will always be a thorn between them.

"But congratulations anyway, you did a great job. You should seize what you like," Fu Yan said on the other end of the phone.

As Shen Shen listened to his words, his gaze fell on Xie Qingyu, who was curled up on the sofa playing on her phone, and his eyes softened.

He caught it.

"Oh, right," Fu Yan suddenly said on the other end of the phone, "there's one more thing I need you to tell Qingyu..."

"Finished?" Xie Qingyu on the sofa looked up and asked when she heard no sound.

"Hmm." Shen Shen walked over and leaned against the sofa.

Xie Qingyu put down her phone and stretched out her hands.

Shen Shen, knowing the situation, stepped forward and pulled Xie Qingyu into his arms, placing her legs on his body.

"If you're tired, go to the rest room and take a nap," Shen Shen said.

"I'll go in a bit." Xie Qingyu was indeed feeling a bit lazy after finishing her meal.

"Fu Yan said he has something to tell you," Shen Shen said, unable to resist taking a light sniff of Xie Qingyu's hair.

"Hmm? What does he want from me?" Xie Qingyu asked, puzzled.

"It wasn't him." Shen Shen hesitated, trying to find the right words.

Before he could speak, Xie Qingyu interrupted, "If it's not him looking for me, then it must be Liu Qingqing. Liu Qingqing wants to see me?"
