I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 535 Cold War_1

Chapter 535: Chapter 535 Cold War_1

"Can’t you really see what those women are thinking? They’ve already spoken to me directly, so what wouldn’t they dare to do? Shouldn’t you discipline them before you come tell me off? Just a few sly words from her and you believe it right away; I’m really fuming. You just don’t understand what’s going on in my heart.

I’ve been completely devoted to helping you handle all these matters, but what do I get in return? Disrespect from others. Even though I’m not the boss right now, I’ve been doing this for so long and so many people have seen it; isn’t it right to give me a basic level of respect? That woman came up and started pawing at me, yet in the end, you only gave a half-hearted reprimand.

Not even an apology was forthcoming, and just a few soft words made you lose your head. What am I supposed to do then? I really wish I could just go off and start my own business right now. If I hadn’t held on to a shred of sanity, I wouldn’t be standing here talking to you.

You still have the nerve to tell me to calm down and not to quarrel with those people. Do you think that’s appropriate? I just can’t understand you anymore."

Kang Yue was so angry as she finished saying this, then turned her head away, not wanting to think too much. This was Shen Dong’s way; a total pig-headed fool. Talking more was useless, and it would be better not to engage with him, which might even help her feel a little better. She shouldn’t have opened her mouth in the first place. He shouldn’t have spoken those words to her either.

Tang Yuchan could see her friend was angry and quickly glared at Shen Dong, who was trying to speak up, signaling him to stop, or else the car would turn into a battleground for quarrels. They had already had a fight earlier, and now here they were again, it was a bit much.

Thank goodness for Tang Yuchan’s presence in the car; otherwise, a full-blown argument would have broken out. Kang Yue was so done with it, she stopped talking, closed her eyes, and began to rest. Continuing the conversation with this man would only get her so riled up she might vomit blood.

Shen Dong actually wanted to justify himself again, saying that he hadn’t just taken someone else’s word for it, but he couldn’t figure out how to express himself — and not wanting to be blamed for another fight, he reluctantly shut up. It was true that women were becoming more and more troublesome.

Once home, the housekeeper had already taken care of all the household chores, and even the food was set out on the table. Everyone sat down according to their usual places, but for some reason, the food, usually so appetizing, now looked unappealing, and there was even an urge to overturn the entire meal.

It was too hateful; there was no desire to eat at all. But after glancing at Shen Dong, the decision was made to eat after all since the stomach had been feeling off, and it wasn’t worth hurting oneself over a man who likely didn’t deserve it, given that he could talk about her like that for other women.

Kang Yue thought for a moment, grabbed a piece of green vegetable with her chopsticks, and brought it to her bowl. She took a bite with such force it was as if she was chewing up Shen Dong himself, crunching it thoroughly and feeling much more satisfied inside.

Tang Yuchan watched Kang Yue and felt genuinely scared. Sometimes she didn’t know what to say. That woman wouldn’t listen, only changing after realizing something herself. Tang Yuchan was tired of talking, and she decided she wouldn’t bother anymore. Sometimes a woman needed to have her own thoughts.

With that in mind, she began to eat. Unexpectedly, the dinner table was extremely quiet; no one spoke a word, it was eerily calm. After finishing the meal and cleaning up, though she had done nothing wrong, she felt as if she had made a mistake. Her phone ’dinged’ with a notification. Opening it, she saw a woman had added her.

How did she know it was a woman? Just one look at the profile picture and name, showing an incredibly pretty girl, and it felt oddly familiar as though she had seen her somewhere before. Moreover, how did she have her contact information?

Deciding not to ponder this now, she accepted the request to see what the other party wanted. Surely the person must know her to have her contact details. After accepting, a message quickly came through, "Hi, boss, how are you? Do you remember who I am? Think hard, because I’ll be angry if you don’t remember me." The message was followed by a playful emoticon, indicating she must be a lively and enthusiastic girl. Shen Dong thought for a while but couldn’t place her.

Curiosity piqued, he glanced at Kang Yue who was watching him ignore his meal and started to wonder what was up. He hadn’t seen him skip a meal even during their argument. An idea bubbled up in her mind but was quickly dismissed by Kang Yue.

No way, she didn’t want to deal with this stinking man. Let him be someone else’s problem, she couldn’t handle it anymore. Saying more would probably just condemn her. With a cold expression, Kang Yue packed away her wandering thoughts.

She decided to head to her room and sleep after dinner, undisturbed by worldly troubles. She quickly finished eating and retreated to her room, leaving only Shen Dong and Tang Yuchan at the table. After eating, Kang Yue didn’t say anything; she took her dishes to the kitchen and dropped them in the sink.

It was an ordinary action, but the clanging was loud, startling the others outside. Tang Yuchan, who was eating peacefully, nearly dropped her bowl from the loud noise. She wanted to shout at Kang Yue, accusing her of being crazy, but considering Kang Yue’s mood, she might end up being the one scolded. Acknowledging her own lack of confrontational ability, Tang Yuchan kept her mouth shut, deciding to make allowances for Kang Yue’s bad mood just this once.

Not giving a retort, she quietly went back to eating, while Shen Dong found his train of thought strangely interrupted. He muttered under his breath, wondering if it was menopause setting in.
