I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 578: Worry

Chapter 578: Chapter 578: Worry

After closing the door, Kang Yue still felt a lingering fear and glanced over at the opposite side to see if anyone was following. If someone had been chasing, it would have been terrible. Thankfully, the other person stayed put, completely motionless. It seemed like there was no intention to come after Kang Yue for trouble, which was a huge relief. My little heart was about to stop from fright.

As Kang Yue spoke, she quickly reached out and patted her chest as if truly frightened and then suddenly remembered something. Immediately, she opened her phone to send WeChat messages to Tang Yuchan, explaining what had happened. If Kang Yue didn’t tell her sister, her sister would definitely question her later. Besides, she had no idea where her sister had gone off to last night.

When Shen Dong pulled her away, she worried about Yuchan being left alone—it certainly wasn’t safe. The first thing was to check whether she was even in the room. But Kang Yue guessed that if Yuchan was drunk, she wouldn’t wake up easily. Screw it, just send the message first.

Though conflicted, Kang Yue’s fingers flew across the keyboard quickly. She typed out a message but hesitated, unsure of how to send it.

"I’m telling you, I got drunk last night and mistook someone for another person. And I even hit on the guy, only to find out it was Shen Dong," said Kang Yue. But then feeling like this wasn’t a good way to put it, she deleted the message and typed out another one.

"Who understands, right? Why does this even happen? It’s like the universe is just messing with me. What other reason could there be for me going through such pain?" After sending this message, she deleted it, too. Forget it, discussing this on WeChat wasn’t going to help. What use was it to say so much? Instead, she decided to wait a little and have a face-to-face conversation where she could make herself clearer.

Otherwise, the more she tried to explain online, the more confused it would get. Hadn’t there been such incidents before? It was better to wait and talk about everything in person later. Only then could she express her feelings more profoundly. With a firm nod, Kang Yue convinced herself that this was indeed the right approach.

She decided to keep it simple for now, checking whether Yuchan had sobered up and to ensure her safety. Other issues could wait to be discussed.

"Have you sobered up yet? I have something really important to discuss with you. Why don’t you come over to my room now? Ah, never mind, it’s fine if you can’t. Once you’re sober, I’ll come to you."

After sending this message, Kang Yue felt very satisfied and waited patiently, but there was no response. Drifting off into a drowsy slumber, she fell asleep on the bed. The drunkenness from last night still lingering and she wasn’t sleeping comfortably, so she wanted to rest a bit more.

Of course, Mr. Shen wasn’t waiting outside. Seeing no sign of movement in the room, he knew she must have gone straight to bed, and so he returned to another room to get some sleep himself. Disturbed for so long last night, he wasn’t filled with energy so quickly. He needed a proper rest; otherwise, his recent lack of energy would only continue.

With that kind of exhaustion, how could he focus on upcoming projects? Those were crucial opportunities for making money being delayed.

By the time Kang Yue woke up, it was already afternoon. The bar had opened for business once again. Fortunately, there wasn’t much to be busy with lately as things were running smoothly. The bar itself was quite tranquil, with no issues arising, except for one change of note.

Shen Dong had been keeping close with Kang Yue, who in turn was continually avoiding him, seemingly still haunted by the events of that day. If she were caught, she’d be in for a good nagging.

Kang Yue tiptoed out, planning to find Tang Yuchan first, since the messages she sent went unanswered. Where on earth had she gone? Not a single reply among the numerous texts, leaving Kang Yue to wonder if Yuchan hadn’t woken up or if someone had sneakily snatched her away?

But hearing noise from Yuchan’s side, why wouldn’t she check her phone? Kang Yue couldn’t stay put any longer. With a certain risk present in her own room, she decided to stealthily head over to Yuchan’s, which would provide some security. That way, if Shen Dong came looking to settle scores, Yuchan could block for her.

Kang Yue crept out without a trace, a sign that this place was safe. Once outside, she encountered a figure, standing there as if guarding the exit. When their eyes met, Kang Yue offered an awkward smile.

Shen Dong couldn’t figure out this girl anymore. She had been dodging him persistently, making it impossible to talk for more than a few sentences, as if he were some dangerous beast.

It was just the incident from that day. He wasn’t that petty. Right now, he just wanted to discuss the bar’s business. This girl’s antics made it difficult for him to even recall the situation. So be it; he would settle accounts with this naughty girl later and tease her along the way. Otherwise, he would never learn how cute she could be.

She could hold onto such trivial things until the present, so he acted indifferent and cold-hearted, showing no sign of joy. To Kang Yue, his gaze was unnerving; she could hardly smile now. Initially planning to feign ignorance and breeze over the matter, she now realized that was no longer an option. She had no choice but to say she was just out for some air before heading back to sleep.

"Heh, what a coincidence bumping into you here. If I didn’t know better, I’d think we have some kind of strong connection. Are you looking to come in and get some rest, Mr. Shen?"

Kang Yue was just talking for the sake of talking, but she hadn’t expected to blurt out that last part. She almost bit her tongue off. Was this something to say out loud? If he came in, that’d be the end of her—it’d be like entering a battlefield. If she went inside, how would they communicate? Maybe it was better to take her leave quickly. The possibility that Mr. Shen hadn’t agreed yet might mean he didn’t want to come into her room after all, she surmised, breathing a sigh of relief. With that, she could respectably close the door, claiming she needed to rest.
