Chapter 494: Coaxing People_1
"I wondered why you wouldn’t let me come with you, turns out you were going to help someone out. You made such a face at first, and I thought you really didn’t care. But given she’s really pretty and pure-looking, totally not my type, how could any man resist? Even I, a woman, find her quite enticing, let alone you."
"Although you’ve seen many beauties, the youthful campus goddess type must be rare for you, right? Oh boy, I really got in your way there. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have gone. How could I have known this is what you were thinking? You’ve really hurt my feelings."
Kang Yue found her chance and went on a tirade, making fun in a very sarcastic way, leaving Shen Du feeling somewhat embarrassed. Scratching his head like a clueless young man in his twenties, he stammered, "That’s not true. Now that we’re being honest, I went there to give her a bank card."
"I told her to hang in there, especially after hearing her sad story. How heart-wrenching, right? She was about to get married, and then her boyfriend ditched her. Plus, her little brother got leukemia. Anyone would feel sorry for her. Now that I can, I want to help out."
"It could also mean she’ll contribute more to my enterprise in the future. She’s starting to feel grateful to me now, who’s to say she won’t help out more later on?"
Shen Dong hurried to explain, not wanting Kang Yue to overthink. Once she got started, she would keep on going and it would be impossible to clarify things later. Fortunately, there was still time to offer more explanations.
"Plus, I have a hunch this woman isn’t simple at all. She might even turn her fortunes around someday. That could only be beneficial for both of our careers, right? Helping others might just unlock their potential. Don’t you think so?
Oh, my dear Yueyue, don’t be mad or jealous anymore. Next time, I’ll definitely take you with me, I promise."
After saying this with a teasing smile, Shen Dong pinched Kang Yue’s cheek, thinking it would help her cool down faster. He kept teasing her, knowing she would probably forget all about it after a while.
Kang Yue wasn’t really angry anymore. After all, this was Shen Dong’s work. She should be understanding, and since he was willing to share everything with her, she decided to forgive him, albeit reluctantly.
However, maintaining her missy temper, she didn’t let it go easily and pouted, "Don’t touch my face. Look, you’ve messed up my makeup. You’re going to have to pay for it to be redone."
"So, have you forgiven me? Cheer up, how about I take you out for some late-night snacks later?" Shen Dong said.
