Chapter 606 Forgiveness
Shen Dong certainly knew that this box was meant to test him, but he didn’t refuse and just placed it directly on the table, appearing unconcerned. Then he spoke up, "If you don’t want it, I’ll just throw it in the trash. The things I buy for you are yours to deal with. Keeping them with me proves nothing.
If you really don’t want it, I’ll just throw it away." After saying this, Shen Dong deliberately observed the young lady’s expression, seeing that she truly did not plan to keep the necklace. The price of the necklace could match several months’ salary for some people, yet now she simply said she didn’t want it—she really was quite temperamental.
Well, if she didn’t want it, better not keep it. So, he threw it out of the window in a beautifully executed parabola, only to hear a loud thud as it disappeared. Since it was still in its box, the sound was somewhat loud. This action stunned Kang Yue.
Alright, he hadn’t expected him to throw it away just like that. She had thought about testing him a bit longer, retrieve it if he passed the test, but he had decisively thrown it away already, which was a pity. Yet, as a lady of her status, how could she stoop to picking up a necklace? So, she was forced to give up on the necklace.
Anyway, that necklace really didn’t suit her image. Consider this action as atoning to herself. Kang Yue was mentally persuading herself to let go of the necklace. Seeing the young lady’s expression soften, she realized her action was inappropriate. It seemed the young lady really wanted to see her throw the necklace away.
If she hadn’t thrown it away, who knows how much more trouble would have ensued? This is why earning money mattered—she could casually squander a necklace. If this had been before, she simply wouldn’t have had the heart to do so. Yes, that costly necklace... yes, that’s it.
She thought about cajoling her a bit more to seal the success. After all, the young lady had already slipped up at the beginning. Everything after would be easy.
Kang Yue didn’t say anything more, just tightly closed her mouth. She couldn’t allow herself to show a smile. If she let a smile slip, she’d lose. She had to maintain the cool demeanor Tang had described, pretending not to care at all, her heart too wounded to be interested in these matters.
Whether she threw it away or kept it had nothing to do with her. Kang Yue held back a laugh, almost figuring out all her life’s sorrows on the spot, but in the end, she couldn’t keep it in and returned to her room. Well, the setup was cozy. Good thing she came back.
Otherwise, she might have had insomnia tonight, enduring discomfort from changing rooms. Without someone by her side, she would feel oddly uneasy, now so accustomed to sleeping in Shen Dong’s warm embrace.
Suddenly being in a new environment, though cozy and soft, felt a bit unsettling. Ultimately, returning to her own room was best, thanks to Shen Dong calling her back. Otherwise, she’d still be lingering in Tang Yuchan’s room. Right, she needed to freshen up.
