Chapter 703: Treat It
Kang Yue quickly spoke up, hoping to prompt Shen Dong to hurry up and help her with work. Only then did Shen Dong realize why the woman from yesterday was so gentle and the one today was so ferocious—it turned out that yesterday’s kindness was just to trap him into doing work, thus the gentleness.
He had carelessly fallen into a trap of tenderness and it was all his own fault. In desperation, Shen Dong could only silently lift his head, rub his face, and feel like the word "resentment" was written all over him. Alright, he was probably overthinking.
To think he had suspected his girlfriend of seeing someone else? That was not the case; it was just a scheme to trap him. He didn’t need to think about who was behind the plot to know. But he decided not to pursue it any further; being able to accompany his girlfriend for so long was already quite an achievement, otherwise, she must have been incredibly bored yesterday.
Moreover, yesterday’s incident was indeed his fault, so he accepted his punishment and no longer held a grudge against anyone. He quickly got up to wash and tidy himself, checking from head to toe and finding no issues. But when he was about to leave the house, he suddenly wondered, why was he going out so early?
There were no important matters to attend to recently, and even if there were issues at the bar, they only operated at night, and weren’t they closed recently? Then he had even less to do, waking up so early was simply a waste of time. Realizing this, he quickly sat down and turned to Kang Yue, saying:
"Didn’t I tell you last night that the bar isn’t operating these days? Yet you’re still sending me to work. Do you want to work me to death? That’s just cruel. I explained everything last night, and now you’re treating me like this. It’s heartbreaking, Yueyue. You can’t do this. Did you pick up these bad habits from someone else?"
It was only then that Shen Dong realized what was happening and turned around to settle the score with his girlfriend. Kang Yue stuck out her tongue and said, "Alright, I forgot. I thought you had to go this morning, so I woke you up early. Why are you disagreeing with it now? It wasn’t like this when I used to wake you up early before. How come you’ve changed now?
Alright then, it turns out you’re like this. No wonder you weren’t rushing to reply to my messages last night. You’d changed. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have rushed you last night. I’d have waited for you to come back and tell me yourself. Humph, just take a good look at yourself. If you can’t reassure me properly today, I don’t want to see you anymore."
After saying this, she turned around and walked away, unconcerned about the look on Shen Dong’s face, leaving him to realize the phrase "small-minded" and how hard women are to foster.
Meanwhile, Kang Yue lay on the bed, laughing. Her anger had mostly subsided, and her mood had greatly improved, leaving her with no other feelings. In despair, Shen Dong unlocked his phone and saw a message from Lin Qi asking about his safety, to which he hurriedly replied positively.
