I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 496: Chapter 496 Staring Eyes_1

Now it was Kang Yue and Shen Dong staring at each other, eyes wide and full of astonishment. This was the first time they had witnessed such an absurd scene as if there were some deep story between Shen Dong and the waiter that the evil Kang Yue was forced to tear apart.

The scene that unfolded before them left both of them with a headache; the service had been dramatized beyond belief. It felt like a stage should have been set right there and then, and the play could begin at a moment’s notice.

Kang Yue was truly furious, watching the waiter’s fawning and hesitant retreat, frequently looking back as if to say, "Hurry and ask me to stay, I really do want to take care of you," with such an expression that Kang Yue could hardly bear it.

Shen Dong had no intention of causing trouble in the restaurant, hoping to just finish eating and leave, never to see it again, and thought it was unnecessary to make a scene over a waiter and tarnish his own reputation. He kept pulling Kang Yue away, telling her that it was fine and to just eat because the fish was delicious.

"Don’t let a waiter ruin your good mood. We’ll leave as soon as we finish eating, and we’ll never come back. We’ll blacklist this restaurant and never eat here again," he urged.

Shen Dong just wanted to calm things down and avoid a disaster, but his words struck a chord with Kang Yue. She couldn’t understand why they had encountered such a person, yet seeing the waiter standing there without bothering anyone else, she thought that as long as the waiter stopped causing trouble, she might let it go without further complaint.

If she really wanted to be petty, the end wouldn’t come so easily. The waiter was foolish to the extreme, playing such low-grade tricks on a customer. Even if she became angry here and now, the waiter would have to apologize eventually—customers are gods, after all.

Or she could simply complain to the manager and get the waiter fired with ease. The waiter seemed like a brainless fool to do things that hurt themselves. Did they really think they could climb the social ladder with that heavily made-up face? Kang Yue couldn’t help but want to laugh with disbelief. If Shen Dong were blind enough to fancy such a vulgar and manipulative woman, she could laugh at him for a lifetime.

But to this day, she had yet to meet a "green tea" woman capable of causing her real trouble; in the past, she had effortlessly torn through one after another without ever feeling so stifled.

"Don’t be upset; just enjoy the fish," said Shen Dong, who was no longer concerned—he believed that once a problem was solved, it should be left behind.

"It’s not about that. Didn’t you see her attitude just now? She acted as if I were bullying her. Did I bully her? Just tell me the truth, wasn’t I just speaking normally? I’m really enraged. This restaurant deserves more than a blacklist; I have to warn everyone against coming here.

The waitstaff here are all delusional, thinking what to do if a man gets seduced! Women like that should just go to dance halls, they do not belong in a high-end restaurant like this one—so infuriating!"

Just as Kang Yue had begun to calm herself, she flared up again. Meanwhile, the server was watching the situation from a distance, envying the man who foolishly fanned Kang Yue, thinking about how unlucky she was that such a wealthy man was caring for that woman. If it had been her, she wouldn’t have squandered the chance to enjoy such attention.

She would have turned things around to serve the man instead. The server indulged herself in this inner monologue, spicing up her fantasies.

She began to dream of sitting by Shen Dong’s side, enjoying a candlelit dinner with lavish dishes, with that wealthy man at her elbow. When would such a splendid dream come true?

In the midst of her daydreams, her fantasy shattered as a man nearby called out to her.

"Waiter, waiter, are you there? I need your help over here. I’d like to order these two dishes. Could you perhaps give me a discount? After all, they are quite expensive.

My girlfriend has gone to the restroom, but she loves these dishes, and I cannot bear to let her down. So I thought, if you could give us a bit of a discount, I would order right away. You know, the expenses are quite heavy, so please, could you give us some consideration?"

It was a simple-looking young man, but his sincerity was touching. The two dishes he pointed to were the most expensive ones in the restaurant, significantly marked up. With no choice but to satisfy his girlfriend’s cravings, he had to scrimp and save to afford it and was now shamelessly seeking a bargain while she was away.

If the waiter agreed, any amount saved would be a blessing. If he could pull this off, he promised to patronize the place more in the future. He just hoped for a little bit of leniency, or at least a polite refusal.

But the server, having just been torn from her reverie, was less than pleased. A pauper wishing to dine on such sumptuous fare? She inwardly scoffed at the thought and did little to hide her disdain, her face broadcasting her contempt as if to say,

"With that petty amount of money, don’t force it—if you can’t afford it, you shouldn’t bring a girlfriend to a place like this. It’s downright embarrassing." That was what the waiter truly thought inside.

The young man was mortified, waiting for the waiter’s response. His girlfriend returned and, seeing the situation, thought something had happened. His embarrassment only deepened.

He hadn’t expected her to return so quickly, mainly because he had just paid the rent and was short on cash. He wanted to treat his girlfriend to a nice meal, but he couldn’t afford the upscale dishes she desired. Now he was truly ill at ease, only hoping the waiter would give him a bit of face.

"Is something the matter?" asked the girl, shaking the water drops off her hands as she approached, wondering what had happened. The server looked down on the young woman, thinking that her average looks matched well with the man beside her, nothing compared to herself. How brazen of her to ask what was going on, when it was obvious to anyone with eyes.

She still dared to call the waiter over.
