I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 506 Good Morning_1

Chapter 506: Chapter 506 Good Morning_1

The bar had already begun to take shape; it was just awaiting its final touches. Oh right, didn’t Mr. Ma say he was inviting me to a dinner tomorrow night? The very person I wanted to meet would be there.

It was the developer of the piece of land I wanted. Without a specific name, everyone just called him Mr. Biao, a rather famous figure. The properties coming from him were all high-value assets, not something the average joe could acquire; usually, you’d have to win a bid to get them. But that wasn’t my style; I didn’t plan to spend that kind of money to secure the land.

I just wanted to get it at the lowest price possible, which was a bit tricky, but not entirely out of the question with Mr. Ma by my side. Everything was simpler with him around, and I needed to figure out how to persuade Mr. Biao to sell me that land.

Even if it ended up costing more, it wouldn’t matter; the important thing was to prevent it from being booked by someone else. If that happened, things would get difficult, and I’d have to consider other properties. The more I thought about it, the more my head hurt. Forget it; there was no point dwelling on it. There were plenty of other matters to attend to, and obsessing over this was just a waste of time. I forcibly closed my eyes only to hear the sound of the door turning.

Could that be Kang Yue coming over? She isn’t asleep at this late hour and is coming to my place? I was already feeling sleepy when I turned to look and indeed found Kang Yue there. With a hoarse voice, I asked, "What’s wrong, can’t you sleep alone?"

The poor woman just stood there, nodding blankly as if to say: "Yes, I can’t sleep. I’m really a bit scared." And so, quite naturally, she lay down on the bed.

Nothing else happened in between, we just lay there without saying a word. Kang Yue, who had been experiencing nightmares, found that lying there, things seemed much better. It was just a silly dream, after all; no need to get this worked up over it.

At that thought, Kang Yue couldn’t help but laugh aloud, feeling a bit silly and melodramatic. If it had been before, I would have just picked up my phone and browsed something interesting to while away the time until sleep took over, not like this.

"Alright, don’t you feel less afraid now that you’re by my side? Close your eyes and sleep. Don’t worry, I’m here to stay," Shen Dong said with an unusual gentleness. Before she knew it, Kang Yue had fallen asleep, her mind not wandering to any weird thoughts.

And so, lying like that led to daybreak. When Kang Yue got up early in the morning, she was very restless, wanting to see if I was awake only to discover a mouthful of stubble. Oh my, how long had it been since I shaved? Getting stabbed by these bristles upon waking up... naturally, she wanted to help, but was I still sleeping and would that be inappropriate? She thought.

With a hint of mischief, Shen Dong opened his eyes to see the woman beside him looking eagerly at him, as though she was saying, "Let me do it, I’m really good with my hands." He was startled, not ready to handle such a startle so early in the morning, and so he stammered out a question.

"What... what are you planning to do? Why are you springing this on me first thing in the morning?" Shen Dong’s voice trembled slightly with fear.

Kang Yue laughed and said, "Why are you so nervous? I just wanted to help you with your stubble. Don’t worry about me, it’ll be quick, aren’t you concerned that you didn’t get up early enough, and that I might cut you while you move? That’s why I waited for you to wake up, and now that you’re up, let’s go freshen up and then I’ll shave you. I haven’t done this for you in quite a while."

Shen Dong thought it over but rejected the offer, stating, "A man needs his facial hair; that’s normal. Without it, he’s hardly a man at all. I don’t want that. Let’s hurry and get ready; we have things to do later. If it needs shaving, I’ll do it myself. What if you accidentally cut me and I bleed? What then? Just wait for me, maybe next time I’ll let you have a go. Otherwise, if I end up disfigured tonight, how will that look?"

He refused like that, scrambling away as if frightened for his life, which made Kang Yue laugh to death. Initially, she hadn’t been serious about shaving him; it was just to tease him a little, who knew he would react so dramatically?

"I have a meeting today. Do you want to join me? It’s with Mr. Ma. If you come along, it would be to discuss the future prospects of the Penguin project. If you’re interested, come with me, it could give you an advantage in the future," Shen Dong said. He wanted his partner to prosper too, so he was generous with his resources, sharing them with his own people.

"Of course I’ll come with you if you want to take me. Besides, I have to make you look good in the process, don’t I? Just wait here; I’m going to put on some makeup. It’s the evening meeting, right? Perfect. I couldn’t sleep well last night because of the nightmare, so I looked up some information ahead of time. That’s why I went to your room. Did I make you uncomfortable and keep you from sleeping well last night?"

Kang Yue talked about what she’d been doing before and then remembered that she had gone knocking on his door in the dead of night, and hadn’t been scolded for it; she sheepishly said that, intending to show that it wasn’t deliberate—the late-night disturbance had reasons behind it and that she hoped for understanding.

"How could I not know what kind of person you are? You’ve always been a bit scatterbrained, and it’s not the first time you’ve done something like this," Shen Dong said with a smile, then went downstairs to prepare breakfast. The couple didn’t mess around with their breakfast, either. After going downstairs, they saw the maid had already prepared it, likely Kang Yue’s doing, as she must have asked for help early, concerned they might wake up too late and be delayed. That was thoughtful.

The breakfast was a perfectly toasted sandwich. As Shen Dong sat eating, he accidentally brushed his stubble. Indeed, it was rather prickly and needed trimming. Otherwise, Kang Yue might one day grab the razor and shave it off in one go; how ugly that would be! And if she accidentally left a scar on his skin, wouldn’t that be disfiguring? The thought of this scenario deeply unsettled Shen Dong.
