Chapter 542: Chapter 542 The Foremost Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner_1

As both of them were lost in thought, Shen Dong had already knocked on the door. Knock, knock, knock—the sound instantly lifted the spirits of the two inside. Kang Yue was so excited that she almost jumped up, but she quickly remembered to stay calm. She couldn’t be too quick to act. If the person at the door saw how eager she was, they might think she couldn’t live without them and would surely chastise her. So, she pretended to be nonchalant, acting as if she had been disturbed from sleep, and waited a moment before deciding to speak. Meanwhile, Shang Dong was waiting outside, feeling quite negative. Hearing no response from inside, he grew even more nervous and decided to knock on the door again after swallowing his saliva. Upon his second knock, Kang Yue stopped pretending because she simply couldn’t keep it up any longer—she felt like she would explode if she did. Impatient as both were, a drawn-out altercation just wasn’t possible. Clearing her throat softly, Kang Yue practiced speaking in a low voice.

Finally, she chose the most satisfactory way to speak and said, "Please come in."

Shandong let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this. At last, she was acknowledging him, so there was no issue. He flung open the door and placed the porridge he had brought on the table, instantly filling the entire room with its aroma. Kang Yue, who hadn’t eaten her fill and was very hungry, had been too upset to eat, but now the smell of the porridge wafted into her nose, stimulating her appetite to surface. How could she possibly reject it? She really wanted to snatch up the bowl and start devouring the delicious porridge. If only she’d been offered this at noon, she would have surely finished it, but for the sake of face, she still had to pretend to be indifferent, sitting there as though she wasn’t very interested. Shen Dong, taking his seat seriously, began to speak.

"Are you in a bad mood? I noticed you didn’t eat much at noon. I specially bought your favorite seafood and made this porridge for you. Try it and see if it’s good. If not, I’ll make it again. You know, no matter how angry you are, you can’t just refuse to eat. We can argue and talk it out, but you can’t harm your own body. I know I was wrong today for not solving the issue right away. I won’t be like this in the future. Can you forgive me?"

This was said with such sincerity, it was as if it came from the heart. Kang Yue had intended to trouble him a bit more, but upon hearing those words, she suddenly couldn’t think of how to respond. With a choked voice, she said, "Then, you can’t be like this next time. You have no idea how unhappy I was today just because you helped him, which makes everyone think they can offend me so easily. Even if you said those words back there, who would listen? I don’t care, this time it’s your fault, so you must apologize properly. You also must buy me all the things you owe me. You weren’t like this before, and you can’t be like this in the future. This time I’ll forgive you, but it really can’t happen again."

Kang Yue pouted as she spoke, not knowing how happy she was inside. As long as he apologized sincerely and acknowledged his mistakes, that was already great. After all, some men are very chauvinistic and unwilling to admit such things, but this man was willing to talk to her like this. It showed that he still cared for her in his heart. So, she took the bowl in her hands and began to drink the porridge. How could Shen Dong disagree? His main priority was to appease his little ancestor. The porridge, fortunately, didn’t waste his intention, perfectly filling the room with its fragrant smell, or else it might not have sparked Zhang Tong’s desire to eat. Watching Kang Yue eat bite after bite filled him with contentment, and he agreed, saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll never treat you like this again. After you’ve finished eating, if there’s anything you want to buy, I’ll take you shopping. How about we go for a stroll together? Then, if you don’t want to work, you can relax and I’ll complete those tasks for you. Rest well at home, and after a while, I’ll take you on a trip. You’ve been saying recently that you want to visit some places, right? It’s time for you to unwind. We can’t always have you running around working for me. If there are profits to be made, then naturally, we should spend them."

This strategy by Shen Dong was precisely what captured a woman’s heart—how could anyone reject such a considerate man? He not only asked for forgiveness gently after making a mistake but also cooked porridge personally, promising to go out and have fun together and not worry about work. Surely, such good men are hard to find. When Kang Yue heard this, she was deeply touched and all her previous grievances dissipated. She nodded obediently, shyly saying, "I’ll listen to you," and continued eating her porridge. Only then did she remember she had foundation on her face. Drinking her porridge now would mean she was ingesting all that cosmetic product, wouldn’t it? Oh no, but spitting it out would seem unfriendly, wouldn’t it? So, she lifted her head, affecting a pitiful expression, and said, "It’s all your fault. I’ve even ingested foundation now. If my stomach hurts tonight, you definitely won’t get a good night’s sleep. You’ll have to take good care of me tonight."

After expressing her grievance, Shang Dong hadn’t yet caught on. How could she have eaten foundation? Surely, this foolish girl hadn’t resorted to comforting herself with foundation out of desperation, or was it that she was too proud to eat and had instead ingested the foundation? Such a silly girl. In a panic, he promptly dragged Kang Yue to the bathroom.

"What happened? You can’t eat that stuff. Spit it all out now. Even if you have to throw up the porridge, it doesn’t matter. We need to deal with this first, so that foundation doesn’t cause any damage to your stomach. Really, you could have told me; if you had, I wouldn’t have let you eat the foundation. I would have been faster." After pulling her into the bathroom, Shen Dong spoke these words anxiously.
