Once things are done, people will subconsciously listen to her more afterward, and she will gradually become a leader.
Therefore, she wasn't as open-minded as she had been when she made her initial remarks, and she certainly didn't want to be outdone by anyone...
But things didn't go as she expected. She did get along well with Xia Wuyou and Jiang Chengcheng, but the problem was that Xu Shi, that bad man, didn't seem to be affected at all!
The girls ignored him, but he didn't make any move to approach them. Apart from necessary work-related conversations, he didn't say a word more. Then, he took Xia Ke'an and Pan Ling and, as if on vacation, found a scenic spot to start reading books and newspapers.
With his beloved daughter as a pillow and his silly apprentice serving him tea and water while massaging his shoulders and legs, he couldn't be more content.
Tsk, I should have dragged them all down with me. Just a few good friends don't seem enough... This dog of a woman is a bit speechless. How can you be so tolerant?
But it's too late to regret it now; it's just a matter of who can hold on longer.
Xie Qingyan's demands weren't high. If Xu Shi took the initiative to soften his stance and come over to coax them, her goal would be achieved. Then, she could simply back down and it would be a perfect victory... She didn't expect to actually make Xu Shi submit in this way; given the dog's personality, that was simply impossible.
Are you sure this will really work?
Xia Xiaomao threw a pebble forcefully into the sea and asked with great suspicion.
"...Let's wait a little longer."
Xie Qingyan gritted her teeth; in truth, she was also a little unsure of herself.
But giving up is out of the question. If the first attempt at something backfires spectacularly, then forget about establishing authority; it could even lead to complete collapse.
At that time, there was no dignity left.
Fortunately, the wait was worthwhile, and Xu Shi eventually found her.
"What kind of trick are you playing?"
The scoundrel looked helpless. "What's going on with everyone ignoring me?"
"Really? Or probably not?"
Xie Qingyan began to play dumb, "This can only be blamed on some people having too many suitors. They should have thought this day would come."
So it's still my problem?
Xu Shi rolled his eyes at her. "How heartless, Director Xie. Was our honeymoon period really that short?"
"You can make it longer."
Xie Qingyan was delighted to hear this, as it opened up more room for maneuver. "But how to do it specifically is up to you."
"...Alright, alright, you win. You did something that others couldn't do with ease."
Xu Shi sighed after thinking for a moment, "Then what should I do? I'll invite my fiancée to a candlelight dinner. Can you put in a good word for them for me?"
"That's not enough, you also have to come with me to see the stars."
The woman threw a tantrum.
The so-called "stargazing" was not a real stargazing activity, and there was nowhere for them to actually see the stars. It was a tacit understanding between the two of them. To put it bluntly, it meant finding a place to enjoy the scenery, chat about life, and discuss their ideals.
Ever since confirming her relationship with Xu Shi, she has increasingly missed the atmosphere of that day and longed to hear him say a few sweet words to her.
"OK."
This wasn't an unreasonable request, and Xu Shi agreed without hesitation, "See you tonight?"
"Okay, see you tonight."
The fiancée smiled radiantly; the plan was perfect!
Evening arrived quickly, and as agreed, Xie Qingyan went to a small house by the sea—a place she had discovered while wandering around the island, and which she had taken the time to tidy up; it was a great place for a date.
However.
When she pushed the door open, all she saw was complete darkness.
Huh? He's not here yet? I asked his apprentice before leaving, and he said his master went out a long time ago... What about the promised candlelight dinner? Aren't you going to prepare anything?!
Before she could react, the door slammed shut, and at the same time, someone grabbed her arms from both sides in the darkness.
"……Why?!"
The candles were finally lit, and Xu Shi slowly emerged from the darkness, holding one up and making a face at her. "Hehe~"
Xie Qingyan then realized who had captured her—it was Xia Wuyou and Jiang Chengcheng, of course.
"Xu Shi, you..."
The woman was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, "And you two, this..."
How could you guys turn against me?! I haven't seen you guys communicate with Xu Shi at all these past few days, okay?! Is that even allowed?!
And that smiling face... That's too much!
"What, are you surprised?"
Xu Shi turned on the lights. "You'd rather believe that the two of them will help you against me than believe that I am Qin Shi Huang?"
Before the dog woman could even process what was happening, she was already being led to the bed in the small house by the two men, who, like peeling a grape, had her exposed to Xu Shi in an instant.
"I'm sorry, I've thought about it carefully, but I still can't bring myself to do it."
Jiang Chengcheng chuckled, "So I guess I'll just have to make do with you, Qingyan... I guess this is how I atone for my sins, my husband?"
After saying that, she adopted a submissive and compliant demeanor, which surprised and angered Xie Qingyan.
What's infuriating is that it's easy for her to see that she was the one who led the betrayal! But I have to say, aren't you being a little too obedient? Many sex dolls might not even be able to match this level of obedience!
This is because she doesn't understand Jiang Chengcheng. The effect of "entropy of evil thoughts" is inherently domineering. She has already accepted Xu Shi as her master in her heart. After her only yandere attribute was resolved, she doesn't care who Xu Shi chooses. Maybe she'll even help make a human cushion for him, or help pry open her husband's clothes or something...
