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

Overall, the preparations for this performance were quite thorough, and the following performances were all perfect.

After the leaders left, some family members or young soldiers even went up to perform. The atmosphere was great, and most people didn't want to leave until it was time to blow the whistle to go to sleep.

Nie Shenyuan didn't go with them when the group disbanded, because he was afraid that it would be difficult for Xie Qingyu to travel alone with Tuanzi.

Tuanzi was already asleep, and Nie Shenyuan carried him all the way back.

After arriving home, Xie Qingyu stood in the yard and wiped Tuanzi's face before carrying him inside and putting him on the bed.

After settling Tuanzi in, Nie Shenyuan came out of the house. "Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat."

Nie Shenyuan already knew that Xie Qingyu hadn't eaten when he went there in the afternoon, and had only made malted milk powder for Tuanzi.

"A little." Xie Qingyu touched her stomach. Standing for so long was quite tiring, and Xie Qingyu was a little hungry now.

"Let me see what other dishes we have. Let's eat something simple before going to sleep." Nie Shenyuan looked at Xie Qingyu; she didn't seem to have gained any weight.

Tuanzi has visibly gained a little weight since arriving here, while Xie Qingyu still looks like she just arrived, only her complexion is much better than before.

"Okay." Xie Qingyu readily agreed, since she didn't have to do it anyway.

Nie Shenyuan, perhaps due to his military training, was very quick. He finished cooking in no time and brought it over for Xie Qingyu to eat.

Xie Qingyu was a little sleepy at the moment, but she still had the energy to talk to Nie Shenyuan while eating.

"What did those two leaders from the performing arts troupe mean by looking at you today? It can't be that they almost had an accident because you didn't agree to participate in the performance, and they're blaming you for it, right?" Xie Qingyu asked.

“How could that be? If this kind of work wasn’t arranged properly, they would be eager to cover it up. Why would they make a big fuss to shirk responsibility?” Nie Shenyuan shook his head.

He's not part of the performing arts troupe, so it's normal for him not to cooperate. After all, even the instructor knows about his refusal.

"Why is that?" Xie Qingyu asked while eating.

Xie Qingyu could sense the hostility in those two people's eyes; it certainly wasn't anything good, as if they were harboring malicious intentions.

"I don't know. Just come to me if anything happens. Don't worry about it," Nie Shenyuan reassured her.

He had eaten something in the afternoon, and now he was watching Xie Qingyu eat.

He only took the rest and ate it after Xie Qingyu finished eating.

He took the steamed bun from Xie Qingyu's hand very naturally and put it directly into his mouth.

Although this wasn't the first time something like this had happened, at least before he had Tuanzi to eat with. But this time, as he took the food, Xie Qingyu's gaze remained fixed on him.

Seeing this, Nie Shenyuan unconsciously stopped what he was doing. "What's wrong? Do you want to eat more?"

Xie Qingyu shook her head without speaking, but looked intently at Nie Shenyuan, "You don't mind?"

Nie Shenyuan looked at the food in his hand with a natural expression, "What's there to complain about about my own wife?"

Nie Shenyuan's actions and words were so natural that you would think the two of them were a long-married couple just by listening to him.

Who would have thought that the two had only known each other for less than ten days?

If it weren't for his bright red ear tips betraying his true feelings, Xie Qingyu would almost have believed him.

"We can't waste it," Nie Shenyuan added.

At this time, people were already lucky to have food, but Xie Qingyu only asked because Nie Shenyuan's actions were so natural.

I never expected Nie Shenyuan to come up with such a reason for himself.

"That's to be expected, not all of them are like this," Xie Qingyu said, smiling at him.

It was obvious that Xie Qingyu was joking, and under her gaze, Nie Shenyuan felt an urge to flee.

“Yes, that’s normal,” Nie Shenyuan repeated, unsure whether he was trying to convince Xie Qingyu or himself.

Under Xie Qingyu's gaze, he slowed down his eating.

"Don't keep staring at me like that." Nie Shenyuan felt a little uncomfortable.

"Why can't my own man watch?" Xie Qingyu's words were clearly a response to Nie Shenyuan's earlier comment about 'my own wife'.

Nie Shenyuan stopped eating and looked at Xie Qingyu.

There was something in his gaze that Xie Qingyu couldn't understand.

Much later, she heard Nie Shenyuan ask, "What were you thinking when you left the child behind? Why didn't you write to me? And then...?"

And why did you come looking for me...?

Nie Shenyuan didn't even dare to ask the rest of the question.

"Back then..." Xie Qingyu paused, recalling the scene from the original owner's time. The reason was simply impossible to say; she couldn't very well say it was because she was afraid of having an abortion.

“Because it’s a little life.” Xie Qingyu downplayed the issue. “I didn’t write to you because I didn’t know if you wanted the child. You haven’t come back since you got married. You were unwilling to get married back then, and I thought you didn’t want to.”

Xie Qingyu's mood clearly dropped as she spoke.

"When you went home to visit your family, it was me... it was me who clung to you." Xie Qingyu's voice trailed off with a sob.

Nie Shenyuan panicked immediately, put down what he was holding and went to Xie Qingyu's side, "That's not what I meant. You weren't willing to do it either."

"If I had known you were raising Tuanzi, I would never have let you and your daughter live that kind of life." Nie Shenyuan sighed, looking at Xie Qingyu in front of him, somewhat regretting asking such a question.

But this matter is like a thorn stuck in his heart; until it's removed, it makes him uneasy and he can't believe that his current happy life is real.

"Don't you want us to come over?" Xie Qingyu finally raised her head, her eyes red and pitiful.

The moment Nie Shenyuan saw that look, he forgot everything. "No, I didn't mean that."

Xie Qingyu was no longer looking at him.

"If I hadn't really had nowhere else to go... I wouldn't have brought Tuanzi here with me," Xie Qingyu said defiantly.

"It's all my fault. I should have gone back to visit my family. I wouldn't have only found out about Tuanzi's existence now." At this moment, Nie Shenyuan felt that he was really a bastard.

"Who else would you be looking for besides me? You should have come to me much earlier, then cursed at me or slapped me a few times, and settled scores with me," Nie Shenyuan said seriously.

Xie Qingyu's eyes were about to well up with tears, but she couldn't hold back anymore after hearing his words.

Seeing that her mood had improved, Nie Shenyuan immediately took her hand and said, "A few more slaps will calm her down."

Xie Qingyu's slap landed on Nie Shenyuan's pectoral muscle. The feeling of her hand was very good, and the atmosphere changed after a few slaps.
