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

Xie Qingli and Jian Linchuan's engagement was quickly put on the agenda.

Xie Qingyu also received an invitation.

Getting married now is a bit too deliberate; getting engaged first is the best way to quell the impact of this situation.

"Are you going?" Xie Qingyu handed her phone to Qin Zheng so he could see the notification her father had sent.

"Go if you want to, don't go if you don't want to." Qin Zheng fully respected Xie Qingyu's opinion, especially in this matter.

Xie Qingyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't want to go."

Her presence in such a setting would only create awkwardness; the thought of others scrutinizing her with probing eyes was unpleasant.

"Okay, then I won't go." Qin Zheng scooped the food out of the pot, rinsed it, and started on the next dish.

Xie Qingyu leaned against the kitchen door, scrolling through her phone.

There are many comments online about Jian Linchuan and Xie Qingli's engagement, and although they are all negative, people have at least accepted it.

Some people have already spoken out in support of Jian Linchuan and Xie Qingli, saying that a marriage between two people of similar social standing is a match made in heaven and there is nothing to criticize.

There are quite a few comments like this; I wonder if they're paid trolls hired by the Jian family.

Xie Qingyu scrolled through the comments section, finding all sorts of speculations and finding them quite interesting, even as one of the parties involved.

Jian Linchuan hasn't sent any messages to Xie Qingyu these past few days, but he did transfer a large sum of money to her, perhaps as an apology for the days he kidnapped her.

However, Xie Qingyu did not accept it.

Previously, Xie's father had said he would compensate Xie Qingyu with half of the shares, and Qin Zheng also asked for cash on her behalf.

With the inheritance her mother left her, she has enough money to live on even if she never works for the rest of her life.

There's absolutely no need for the money Jian Linchuan sent.

Besides, who knows if accepting it will make him overthink things? Jian Linchuan's thought process is really unfathomable to ordinary people.

Xie Qingyu simply deleted Jian Linchuan.

There is absolutely no need to keep it.

"Stop playing on your phone and come eat." Qin Zheng's voice rang in Xie Qingyu's ear.

"You're here." Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyu turned around and bumped into Qin Zheng's arms.

Qin Zheng was still wearing his apron, and Xie Qingyu had no idea when he had appeared behind her.

"You've already cooked dinner? When did you get here?" Xie Qingyu asked somewhat guiltily, putting her phone away.

"I worked so hard to cook, and you didn't even glance at me? You don't care at all?" Qin Zheng's tone was somewhat aggrieved.

Since the two were standing very close, Qin Zheng's voice sounded lazy and even a little coquettish.

Xie Qingyu suddenly felt that she might have gone a bit too far.

Instead of helping with any work, they just keep playing on their phones.

"I'll serve you some rice." Xie Qingyu said, then turned to run away.

But Qin Zheng didn't give her a chance at all. He grabbed Xie Qingyu's slender waist and pulled her back. Xie Qingyu bumped into Qin Zheng's chest this time. It didn't hurt and felt very elastic.

"I've already served the rice," Qin Zheng said, looking down at her.

Qin Zheng's gaze was somewhat aggressive, making Xie Qingyu completely afraid to look up.

"Then... is there anything else I can help you with?" Xie Qingyu placed her hands in front of her, trying to keep some distance, but she couldn't quite place them properly, and the feel of her hands was affecting her thinking.

"Could you help me take off my apron?" Qin Zheng made this small request.

Xie Qingyu was pleased to hear this, "Okay."

Qin Zheng looked at her, then let go of her hand, took a step back, almost touching the door behind him, and then raised his hands.

Xie Qingyu watched his movements with a smile on her face, "Turn around."

Qin Zheng raised an eyebrow but didn't speak, his gaze fixed intently on Xie Qingyu, the meaning of which was clear.

He didn't turn around; he just solved it like that.

It wouldn't be good for Xie Qingyu to go back on her promise now that she had already made it.

She looked up at Qin Zheng's expression, and only after confirming that he had no intention of turning away did she bite her lip, step forward, wrap her arms around Qin Zheng, and fumble to untie the apron straps behind her back.

Qin Zheng clearly has a broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted build, but Xie Qingyu still had to get very close to him to reach behind him and touch the apron straps.

Xie Qingyu felt like she was holding her breath, maintaining her posture to avoid getting close to Qin Zheng.
