Chapter 558 Successful Deception
"All right, Yue, didn’t you want to go downstairs and see how those people perform? The show is even better today, and I’ve brought a lot of handsome guys over. You’ll definitely get your fill, and later we can play some games together, okay? You must like this kind of entertainment or else why would you want to come here tonight?
You don’t need to bother with makeup today, didn’t you once say that no matter what, you’re still the prettiest? Just carry that confidence down and knock everyone out. Plus, there’s a young master coming over to drink and chat with us today. I find him oddly familiar, like I’ve seen him somewhere before.
He probably has some connection with us. Let’s go together, please, for my sake."
Shen Dong said all this so humbly, all to persuade Kang Yue to come down with him; otherwise later, when everyone else has brought a date, and he can’t hit on the women in the bar, if he points out one, this lady would explode. He had no choice but to cajole and deceive her to accompany him.
Upon hearing Shen Dong’s repeated pleadings, Kang Yue finally couldn’t sit idle any longer and spoke begrudgingly, "But how can I go down with so many pimples? I can’t even put on makeup; I’m really troubled. Now whenever I look in the mirror, I feel like I’m insulting myself.
With such an imperfect face, you still want me to face all those people who are perfectly made up, wearing such short skirts and showing off their slim waists. I can’t compete, no, I just don’t want to go down now, and then there’s Zhang Yue.
When she sees me looking this haggard, not so nice-looking, she’ll definitely laugh at me. I won’t go. If you want to go, then go by yourself." With all these insecurities, Kang Yue was certain she couldn’t go down.
Shen Dong originally wanted to say a few more nice things to trick this woman into going down, but seeing her firm stance, he realized it was impossible to persuade her no matter what he said and sighed resignedly. Indeed, for a woman, appearance is most crucial, like now when he simply couldn’t persuade her.
Unless there was a way to clear up the pimples completely and apply beautiful makeup, there was possibly no way she’d reconsider going down with him. Thinking this made him feel helpless; no matter what, he couldn’t counteract these unforeseen pimples, and he had no effective solution, ultimately giving up and going to wash up by himself.
When he came back out, he saw that the girl was still lying buried under the covers on the bed, making it clear she was unwilling to get up. He finally spoke, "Alright, alright, if you don’t want to move, then rest properly in bed. Consider today an off day, added to your vacation days, just rest for a while."
After Shen Dong finished saying that, he left directly, clearly showing that this man was really sly, taking this opportunity to just write off the day off. Shen Dong thought about sleeping there, while Kang Yue gritted her teeth under the covers.
