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

"You want to hire a bodyguard, right?" Xie Qingyu laughed.

Song Manman immediately burst into laughter, "You really understand me! A bodyguard will do, but personal bodyguards are very expensive. How much is yours?"

"I don't know. My cousin paid for it, and I haven't had a chance to ask him yet," Xie Qingyu said truthfully.

Before leaving, Zhao Kuangxi handed Qin Zheng to her without saying anything else.

Xie Qingyu, of course, didn't have time to ask.

"It's definitely not cheap, but it doesn't matter, we have your cousin." Song Manman didn't care.

For them, as long as they don't mess with the wrong people, everything can be settled with money, so it's not a big deal.

"Okay, let's talk about it after my cousin gets back." Xie Qingyu didn't know when Zhao Kuangxi would be back.

However, she knew that Qin Zheng's bodyguard service was for a month, so Zhao Kuangxi should be back within a month.

Qin Zheng was eating his meal when he overheard their conversation.

Xie Qingyu probably forgot that she still had earphones in her bag, which she had put in when she changed bags in the morning. She probably didn't remember them at this moment.

Qin Zheng didn't offer any reminders. He ate quickly and waited outside for Xie Qingyu after he finished.

The driver also went to eat around this time, but instead of eating here, he bought food from a random street stall.

After Xie Qingyu and Song Manman finished eating and returned, Xie Qingyu first took Song Manman to a place before returning to the Xie family home.

After returning home, Qin Zheng brought all the things Xie Qingyu had bought to her room.

Xie Qingyu watched him place the things on the table, then approached hesitantly, "I was drunk yesterday, I didn't say anything offensive, did I?"

Xie Qingyu looked at Qin Zheng with her round eyes, her expression somewhat nervous, as if she was afraid he would say something inappropriate.

Qin Zheng said expressionlessly, "Don't drink anymore."

His words made Xie Qingyu nervous. "Was it embarrassing yesterday?"

She covered her face in disbelief, "Isn't it incredibly offensive?"

She couldn't imagine saying anything to Jian Linchuan.

"Yes, you've been crying for a long time." Qin Zheng's words were something Xie Qingyu hadn't expected at all.

She stood there completely stunned, as if she couldn't believe that she had been crying for so long.

"Did I cry when I was arguing with Jian Linchuan? Do you know what I said?" Xie Qingyu became nervous. It would be too embarrassing if that were the case.

"You said he and Xie Qingli were having an affair, and that you wanted them to be together." Qin Zheng said, looking at Xie Qingyu's expression.

He was somewhat displeased when he saw her furrowed brows. "Are you afraid to confront him? You really want to marry him?"

Qin Zheng's question was very direct, mainly because Xie Qingyu's flustered expression made people feel very uncomfortable.

"No." Xie Qingyu lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

"So don't drink anymore, you'll lose control when you drink," Qin Zheng said.

"Hmm." Xie Qingyu's voice was low, probably indicating some frustration.

"You can drink it while I'm here," Qin Zheng added after watching for a while.

Xie Qingyu looked somewhat disappointed, which is why he added that sentence.

"Besides these, I haven't done anything else, have I?" Xie Qingyu asked, regaining her composure and looking up again.

Qin Zheng looked down and saw her pert nose and then her pink lips. His gaze suddenly shifted away. "No, your aunt changed your clothes and went to sleep when you came back."

"is it?"

"Ah."

"I think I drank some water last night." Xie Qingyu didn't look at Qin Zheng when she spoke, as if she also thought she must be dreaming.

Qin Zheng remained silent.

Fortunately, Xie Qingyu didn't seem to be bothered by this.

"I probably won't be going out today. I'll rest for a while. You should go back to your room and rest too. I'll let you know if I'm going out." Xie Qingyu only then realized that she didn't have Qin Zheng's contact information.

"I'll add you."

Qin Zheng took out his phone and showed the QR code.

His profile picture is of a glacier, and it doesn't look like a picture from the internet; he must have taken it himself.

Xie Qingyu added him and waited for him to agree before letting him leave.

Qin Zheng's WeChat Moments are completely empty.

Xie Qingyu glanced at it and then went to unpack the things she had bought today.

After a while, a picture appeared in Qin Zheng's chat box.

The picture showed three cufflinks, followed by a message from Xie Qingyu: "Which one do you think looks better?"

Qin Zheng only saw Xie Qingyu's message after finishing his work on his phone. He clicked on the picture and zoomed in to take a look. There were three cufflinks with completely different styles.

"Dark blue." Qin Zheng sent the message briefly and then stopped looking at his phone.

He took a shower first, and only after he came out did he see Xie Qingyu's message.

"Here, this is for you. I've left it at your door." Qin Zheng was taken aback when he saw the message. When he opened the door, he indeed saw a bag sitting quietly on the ground.

He brought the bag in, and inside were indeed the cufflinks he had chosen.

Qin Zheng originally thought she was going to give it to Zhao Kuangxi.

I never expected it would be for him.

My finger hesitated for a moment in the chat box, but I finally replied with 'Thank you'.

Unexpectedly, Xie Qingyu replied the very next second, 'Then which of the remaining two do you think my cousin would like?'

"Light green," Qin Zheng replied.

However, after replying, his fingers lingered on the keyboard for a long time.

The reply came quickly: "Okay, thank you."

Qin Zheng couldn't get any information out of her about who she planned to give the remaining cufflink to.

Should it be given to Jian Linchuan?

There has been no further communication with Xie Qingyu.

As she said, she didn't go out in the afternoon, so there was nothing she needed Qin Zheng for.

She played music in her room to sleep.

I didn't go downstairs until it was time for lunch in the afternoon.

Qin Zheng had been downstairs for a while.

Xie Qingyu was active in the Xie family quite a bit, and Qin Zheng had already thoroughly investigated the Xie family.

The situation at the Xie family this afternoon was noticeably different from yesterday; everyone in the Xie family was home today.

Not long after Xie Qingyu came down, Xie's father and Huang Manli returned.

The two of them came back together; I wonder if Huang Manli went to see him yesterday.

Xie Qingli came downstairs. She had stayed home all day and hadn't gone out. As she came down, she kept looking at her phone and smiling. She didn't have time to upset Xie Qingyu.

At the dinner table, Xie's father said a few words as usual, some of which were admonitions against his two daughters.

It's simply about ensuring the two sisters are well-off so they can support each other and help their maternal families after they get married.

These are things he often says, but almost no one listens; they just nod and pretend to be serious.

What Xie's father said was just repetitive talk; he probably just wanted to brainwash the two sisters.

As for the outcome, he probably doesn't care.

He favored sons over daughters, and he didn't put much effort into raising his two daughters; he just provided for them.

Of course, it seems that he prefers Xie Qingli more because Huang Manli is there.

In reality, his affection for Xie Qingli wasn't genuine.

Xie Qingyu guessed that he probably had another son outside, or that he was trying to conceive a son.

"Did your cousin say anything to you before he left?" This was the first time Xie's father had spoken to Xie Qingyu at the dinner table.

"No..." Xie Qingyu was about to say something when she saw Qin Zheng's eyes, and as if possessed, she changed her words, "He told me to take good care of my injuries and wait for him to come back."

“Your cousin still cares about you. You should visit him more often when you have time, and send him messages to check on him. He’s going back to China to develop his career, so he can take better care of you then,” Xie’s father said to Xie Qingyu, seemingly with deep concern.

"I understand," Xie Qingyu replied gently.

No one doubted Xie Qingyu's ability to keep her promise, because she was truly obedient.

"And don't have any complaints about Linchuan either. I heard he apologized to you. He's still young and didn't know his own strength. He also promised that this kind of thing won't happen again. So just forgive him. Spend more time with him and get to know each other better." For some reason, Xie's father thought of this again.

It's likely that Aunt Wen told him about making Jian Linchuan apologize.

“Dad, Brother Linchuan has been in a bad mood these past two days because of this incident. There are people outside saying that he hit someone.” Xie Qingli said immediately when she heard this topic.

"It's alright, he was the one who did it. But if he's in a bad mood, Qingyu, you should try to comfort him, since you're the one who caused it." Although Xie's father tried to act like a kind father, his true nature was immediately revealed as soon as he spoke.

His goal was Jian Linchuan, not Xie Qingyu.

"I don't know how to coax her, let Qingli do it," Xie Qingyu said sullenly.

“What are you saying? Lin Chuan is your fiancé. If you can’t coax him, there’s no reason for you to ask Qing Li to. Although Lin Chuan likes Qing Li more, Qing Li is also your sister. Lin Chuan isn’t her fiancé,” Huang Manli continued.

There was something in her words.

This is a good marriage for Jian Linchuan. The Jian family's businesses have been deeply intertwined with the Xie family's in the past, and in recent years they have been showing signs of becoming the dominant force.

Huang Manli regretted not fighting for Xie Qingli's marriage back then.

Although she didn't care much about Xie Qingli, she still wanted her to live a better life so that she would have someone to rely on when she got old and wouldn't be kicked out.

"Don't throw a tantrum. You're the one who's engaged to Linchuan." Father Xie completely ignored these complicated matters.

In his view, Xie Qingyu's marriage to him was already a settled fact.

In reality, none of these things made any difference to him.

"Brother Linchuan just takes better care of me, sister, please don't be angry about it." Xie Qingli's words now carried a somewhat ambiguous meaning.

If her previous remarks were a provocation, this one carries a hint of... jealousy?

Xie Qingyu thought it must be right.

And the main characters in these people's conversation also appeared here.

"Brother Linchuan, you're here!" Xie Qingli's voice was excited, but she didn't go out like before. Instead, she stood there shyly.
