Chapter 555: Chapter 555 Happy Life

Zhang Yue really couldn’t think of an excellent man like Shen Dong actually fearing his own girlfriend, but on second thought, it’s these kinds of men who are truly good. If a man doesn’t have a bit of self-awareness, if he doesn’t think his girlfriend is the best person in the world, then such a man doesn’t deserve to be in this world.

Because that kind of man would definitely be fickle in love, so sometimes she thought that woman was quite clear-headed, possessing such a good man and still being able to have her own career. Anyway, she had made up her mind to work hard, to one day live that kind of life, maybe even meet her true love here.

As she was thinking, Shen Dong had already walked over. Seeing Kang Yue still looking on, he went over, took her hand, and without a word on the matter at hand, they walked back to the room above the bar hand in hand. The other room was filled with those kinds of ledgers.

They began checking the numbers to see if there was anything amiss. As they checked the figures for any discrepancies, and some money, it seemed there were no errors after all their calculations. Kang Yue helped out on the side, and working together, they quickly organized everything. In the end, they had to split half with Mr. Bia.

So they didn’t earn much today after all, there were also the staff’s wages to consider. Overall, today was a break-even day, because sometimes they had to offer half price to win over clients for future development, which Shen Dong was very clear about.

He didn’t say anything further; after packing these items into a box, he arranged for a few reliable underworld brothers to send it to Mr. Bia’s side, reminding them to deliver on time and maintain a good attitude. The delivery man understood this principle, nodded, and then took the items and went straight over there.

Shen Dong felt like he was about to collapse from exhaustion. Looking at the time, it was already 6 a.m. before he knew it. Kang Yue was yawning from fatigue, but she still held back and joked, "Do you want to grab breakfast before sleeping? I see it’s still early; we could meet up with Qian Qian for breakfast, how about that?"

After batting her eyes and speaking, she didn’t wait for Shen Dong to react before she pulled him up, ready to head directly to the breakfast joint. Shen Dong felt quite helpless, but after thinking about it, he still indulged her. If she wanted to eat breakfast, he was ready to accompany her anytime.

The two arrived at the entrance of the breakfast cafe, and the lady boss, seeing young people coming so early for breakfast, was surprised.

Normally, people don’t come for breakfast at this time; it’s usually an hour later. Seeing the two young folks this early, she courteously welcomed them and then inquired about their morning.

"Today, I see two young people up so early. It’s only just past 6 am, and we’ve just opened up, and you’ve already come over. Didn’t you end up working overtime until now? You young people nowadays really work hard," she said, filling the steamed buns while she spoke.

After the lady boss finished speaking, Shen Dong, whose weariness could be seen by others, smiled and said, "Yeah, boss lady, you saw right through us. Our work is indeed hard. After eating these buns, we will just go straight to sleep. It’s just that my girlfriend wanted to arrange a breakfast date, talking about the ’ceremonial feel’ of life or something. I don’t quite understand these things, but as long as my friend likes it, I’ll bring her along."

After Shen Dong said this with a laugh, he teased Kang Yue in front of strangers. Called ’girlfriend’ by Shen Dong, Kang Yue felt a bit embarrassed and nudged Shen Dong on the hand, saying, "Can you not be so public about me being your girlfriend when we’re out and about? It feels disgraceful, like it can’t be announced to everyone.

I don’t need everyone to know my status; can you please not be so high-profile?"

After mumbling this, she slowly withdrew her hand, not wanting others to notice. Shen Dong found it very amusing; this little one was quite showy in front of others she knew, but in front of these strangers, she was like this, not allowing him to speak. What was wrong with him saying a few more words?

Shen Dong whispered in her ear, "I just wanted to share with the boss lady. Why won’t you let me speak? At first, you loved calling yourself my girlfriend in public, didn’t you? Now you’re shy all of a sudden. The boss lady, witnessing this exchange, thought the young couple was really sweet, experiencing that youthful feeling that she remembered from her younger days.

The spirited owner of the bun shop, reminded of the sweet times he had with his wife, couldn’t help but feel jealous.

"Hey, old man, stop staring," said the lady boss as she worked, "You’re too old to be reminiscing about your youth, and you’ve got grandkids now. Aren’t you ashamed? While the lady boss kept busy, she complained about the husband’s slow movements—he needed to pick up the pace since they still had to make money.

These were all for the next generations to have a home and debts to pay. If they sold an extra bun, they would make a little more money. Thinking this way, they both worked harder; everything was for the future life of their beloved ones. After seeing this, the couple swept a bit more money their way.

After all, nobody has it easy—getting up early to sell breakfast in hopes of earning a bit more. Once Shen Dong and Kang Yue had left, the crowd of customers that came after kept the boss lady too busy to take notice.

On their way back, Shen Dong pondered what the boss lady had said. Indeed, those who were old and had grandkids could still be so cheerful. He began to imagine how happy he’d be if he had a child. Kang Yue seemed to have noticed the change in his mood, not quite understanding what had made him so emotional just after buying buns. Could it be he was envying the hardworking pair? He, being a workaholic, and here she was, just wanting to sleep.
