Chapter 421: Chapter 421 Resting with Eyes Closed_1

Kang Yue couldn’t help but blush and kicked Shen Dong with annoyance, "Not pointing out the obvious when you see through something, don’t you understand? You really have low emotional intelligence."

Saying this, Kang Yue took her legs off the chair and huffed, "Just wait, the concert will last at least three hours. With you being this boring, we can only sit here stiffly for three hours."

If Mr. Zhou could really be invited, it would be worth sitting for thirty hours, Shen Dong thought to himself and decided to just close his eyes to rest.

This really infuriated Kang Yue.

Kang Yue wasn’t just making a fuss for nothing; she was worried that Shen Dong would think the chances were slim and wouldn’t want to wait for nothing. She thought, if she could make up an excuse to romp and play for three hours, the time would quickly pass.

But looking at Shen Dong’s posture... she always felt that imposing on someone wasn’t a good deal and became annoyed. She turned to him and asked, "Do you think I’m sick or something?"

"What do you mean?" Shen Dong pretended as if he understood nothing.

Seeing his expression, Kang Yue grew even angrier and pinched Shen Dong’s arm, "You tell me what you mean!"

Shen Dong grimaced in pain and pleaded for her to let go, and then put on a serious expression, "If you were that kind of girl, you wouldn’t leave Jing City unless you were sent here on a mission from Jing City."

"Do you suspect me?" The smile suddenly vanished from Kang Yue’s face.

Seeing her reaction, Shen Dong laughed heartily, "If I suspected you, would I come out here alone with you?"

At this point, Shen Dong just laid it out, "I’ve never believed that you just want to be a kol (key opinion leader), but I also don’t believe you’d harm me."

Kang Yue’s eyes flickered for a moment, and she raised her eyebrows with a bit of arrogance, "You little thing, how do you know I’m not planning a coup? Maybe one day I’ll stab you with a knife."

"Don’t talk nonsense." Shen Dong might have really had low emotional intelligence, but he wasn’t stupid. Such topics, once delved into deeply in conversation, become barriers in anyone’s heart.

So, Shen Dong simply laid down on Kang Yue’s shoulder and changed the subject, "I’ll take a nap. I hope to be woken up by your good news."

"Pig!" Kang Yue bonked Shen Dong’s forehead and said fiercely, "That counts as blatantly taking advantage, and I’ll write it down in my little book."

Of course, Shen Dong didn’t respond, but he also had no intention of sleeping.

What role was Kang Yue really playing?

Thinking about this, Shen Dong suddenly got bold, and his hand started to climb up Kang Yue’s leg...

Kang Yue frowned and checked the time, "I’m going to go buy some snacks. Wait here for me."

Phew! Shen Dong let out a breath of relief.

If Kang Yue were an undercover agent sent by Jing City, she wouldn’t have reacted so intensely... Maybe he had managed to deceive her?

Before long, Kang Yue came back with a bunch of snacks.

But now, she no longer behaved as forwardly as before. She sat like a lady, maintaining a safe distance. Even if their hands touched when eating fries, she would reflexively pull back.

Damn, he’d been labeled a wolf.

But instead, Shen Dong felt a sense of relief. By putting an end to this girl’s craziness, he also saved himself from worrying about Yuyan getting the wrong idea.

Little did he know, Yuyan had already misunderstood.

Shishan Village.

While run ragged with his errands, Zhou Chengyu helped the accountant get elected as an official of the tea village.

The accountant, seeing his wish fulfilled, couldn’t stop smiling. He insisted on drinking with Zhou Chengyu and even brought out his treasured Fen liquor, stored away for over ten years.

They were drinking merrily when suddenly there was a loud rumble outside.

"What’s that?" The accountant, feeling tipsy, was a bit confused.

Zhou Chengyu pricked up his ears to listen. There was another rumble, and he quickly set down his chopsticks and jumped to his feet, just in time to see Chen Yuyan holding a large axe.

The girl headed straight for the fridge.

"No, no, sweetheart!" Zhou Chengyu quickly intervened, placing his hand on the handle of the large ax, blocking Chen Yuyan, "What’s gotten into you, are you crazy?"

"Let go of me!" Chen Yuyan struggled and, finding she could not break free, bit down on Zhou Chengyu’s arm with her little tiger teeth.

Zhou Chengyu winced in pain and let go, about to scold her, when he heard Chen Yuyan roar, "Throw all that bastard’s gifts out!"

This was it, wasn’t it? Trouble had struck.

Zhou Chengyu could guarantee with his reputation that Shen Dong hadn’t stepped out of line, but being entangled by two delicate women, would any wife not misunderstand?

He hadn’t given it much thought and blurted out to persuade her, "Shen Dong definitely has nothing going on with either of them; it’s just work-related interactions."

"Both?" Chen Yuyan’s voice suddenly rose, and from her stance, she seemed ready to commit murder.

Zhou Chengyu realized he had made a major blunder; he had just dug Shen Dong into an even deeper hole. "It’s not what you’re thinking; it’s cooperation, you understand? Tang Yuchan is the Tang Corporation’s heiress, and that Kang Yue is learned; she is..."

"What, you think I’m uneducated because I’m from a village?" Chen Yuyan’s voice was still raw, high-pitched and thin, which escalated the argument and drew the attention of neighbors from all around.

Zhou Chengyu was busy trying to soothe her while the accountant leaned drunkenly against the door, enjoying the spectacle, oblivious to the gathering crowd outside.

Now it was all over.

The neighbors understood the story and started gossiping, "See? What capability does Shen Dong have? He’s sure to choose a girl from the city!"

"Ah, who knows if she’s suffered any loss or not."

Once these words came out, the last bit of lingering affection in Chen Yuyan’s heart vanished. She yelled out the door, neck stretched, "Who would fancy that?!"

"Get lost!"

Zhou Chengyu saw that the more he explained, the worse it got, and tried to seize the chance to call Shen Dong. Unfortunately, Chen Yuyan snatched the phone away and threw it directly into the stove.

"You little..."

"You’re all bad people, scoundrels!" Chen Yuyan cursed, then turned and ran outside.

"Accountant..." In his urgency, Zhou Chengyu turned and called out, but upon seeing the accountant’s drunken state, he could only helplessly chase after her.

When it rains, it pours, and Zhou Chengyu’s anxiety only seemed to attract more trouble.

Zhao Ling’er had thought to obediently wait in Shishan Village for Zhou Chengyu to pick her up, but what had been the final outcome?

"Chengyu, give it to me straight today, what the hell do you mean?"

Watching Chen Yuyan getting farther and farther away, then turning to Zhao Ling’er standing in front of him, Zhou Chengyu felt the world grow dark, and he helplessly said, "Ling’er, first, let’s pacify Chen Yuyan, and then..."

"Me, pacify her? Then who’s going to pacify me?" As soon as the words left her mouth, the grievances Zhao Ling’er had suppressed bubbled up, her tears pouring down like a flood, pitter-pattering on the ground.

"Ah, this... this..." Zhou Chengyu was so flustered he couldn’t get his words out. When he looked up again, Chen Yuyan was nowhere to be seen.

"Quick, call Shen Dong, if something happens, it’ll be the end!" Zhou Chengyu, in a frantic state, nearly snatched Zhao Ling’er’s phone away.

Fortunately, Zhao Ling’er wasn’t so out of sorts that she lost her sense of priority, and, grumbling, she dialed Shen Dong’s number. After a while, with a begrudging tone, she said, "It’s turned off."

"What?" Hearing that the phone was off, Zhou Chengyu turned and ran in the direction where Chen Yuyan had vanished.

In his mind, he thought, if anything happened, how could he ever explain it!

At that moment, Shen Dong was expectantly watching Kang Yue negotiate with Mr. Zhou; as per Mr. Zhou’s agent’s request, to prevent any recording, he had turned his phone off.

The angle Kang Yue had chosen was the Huaxia style.

She was getting straight to the point, selling nostalgic sentiments, dedicated to creating and promoting the Huaxia style, and promoting embroidery, ceramics, tea, and other flavors of Huaxia.
