Chapter 584: Chapter 584: The Young Lady’s Temper

Kang Yue immediately assumed after hearing this sentence that this guy didn’t just come to accompany her to shop, but also intended to buy things for someone else, recalling how readily he agreed to shop with her. There must have been something else he needed her help with, and now it seemed just so.

At this thought, she remembered the girl from the first shop. That girl, so pitiful, seemed suited for wearing innocent-looking clothes, but she hadn’t seen her yet today. Perhaps something at home detained her. Kang Yue’s impression of the girl was quite deep, so she still remembered her vaguely—the jealousy had all started because of that girl.

Thinking about it now, it seemed quite ridiculous. As long as Shen Dong had no feelings for anyone else, no one else’s schemes would work because Shen Dong was too sober. No one could lure his heart, which made her feel even more reassured. Having such a level-headed guy around meant even if she wanted to do something impulsive, she would be discouraged.

Walking around and shopping, she had bought quite a lot because there was still a bit of unpleasantness in her heart, so she spent money freely without holding back.

Shen Dong’s hands were filled with bags of all sizes, piling up and feeling particularly burdensome. A bit tired, he wanted to go back and rest, but looking ahead at his ’lady’, there was no sign of her tiredness—she seemed like she couldn’t buy enough, looking like she had already spent so much today.

It amounted to someone else’s annual salary, yet his ’lady’ showed no inclination to stop, seemingly still in high spirits. If he dared to suggest leaving, she would probably just keep swiping her card; he decided to just follow along and carry the bags quietly.

Being able to make this ’lady’ happy was a fortunate thing in itself. He thought resignedly that had he known earlier, he would have hired a few people to help carry the bags.

At that moment, Shen Dong felt particularly foolish for not thinking of this earlier. If there had been someone to help carry things, his hands wouldn’t have felt so sore. Looking around for help, he found no one, noticing that his lady had vanished. Turning his head, he spotted her at the jewelry section.

It seemed she was about to buy jewelry again. After a resigned sigh, he went over. Kang Yue was genuinely delighted today, having bought many favorite items. It’s true that not shopping for a long time could really disconnect her from the latest jewelry. Now, seeing the jewels’ shiny allure, she felt the need to buy more to take home.

Chances to shop might become rare later, with work being so busy and sometimes being exploited by this guy.

Having this rare opportunity, how could she simply pass it up? She should indulge in the shopping spree. Seeing this guy carrying so much made her feel a satisfying comfort to take all the shopping home, joyfully dispelling her dissatisfaction from working so hard.

Kang Yue eyed a few pieces of jewelry on the counter and asked the salesgirl to pack them all. Then, she was captivated by a certain necklace—beautiful, pure, and understated, not flashy at all. A small pearl hung there, but it was fully embedded with diamonds.

It was the type of understated beauty that’s hard to notice, and for some reason, upon seeing this necklace, Kang Yue thought of that innocent girl, whose name she had forgotten. But her face was etched deeply in her memory, and she felt this necklace was perfect for that girl.

She hesitated; should she pick up the necklace? Shen Dong, seeing Kang Yue’s indecision, came over and glanced at the necklace, his mind also going to that particularly innocent girl. The necklace seemed extremely suitable for the pure girl. Oh, why hadn’t he seen her that day? He had forgotten the name, too. He’d already paid her salary in advance—the pretty lady surely wouldn’t deceive, right?

Was that the saying? A bit stunned, Shen Dong didn’t know what to think. Seeing something before him, he deliberately took out the necklace and asked Shen Dong, "Do you think I look good with this necklace, or would the beauty from the first shop we went to look better with it?"

Kang Yue had obviously noticed that Shen Dong’s mood was a bit off, which was why she had brought it up. Shen Dong was taken aback for a few seconds—what was she doing, testing him? What was he supposed to say to this? Both women were different types, and clearly, the necklace wasn’t quite suitable for Kang Yue to wear.

He didn’t want to lie, but speaking the truth would upset her, so he wasn’t sure how to respond. They stood in deadlock until he managed a smile and said:

"If you like it, just buy it. Look, I’ve bought so much already, what’s one more necklace? Let’s stick to our principle, not to pass up any necklace. Just pay for it."

He instructed the salesgirl to pack the necklace and put it in a shopping bag. Kang Yue could tell Shen Dong hadn’t said what she wanted to hear, and she felt a chill. Since everything was bought, there was no need to continue shopping. She picked up her necklace and left.

She might as well throw away her necklace; there was no point in giving it to that guy. Why did she even think of that innocent girl? It was so unexpected. Shen Dong noticed his little ancestor was in a temper again and felt very helpless. If only he had spoken those nice words to her earlier, he wouldn’t have to be coaxing her now. He hurriedly chased after her.

The shopping bags were cutting into his hands, causing him great discomfort. Why did he end up with so many bags? Having bought so much without realizing it, he felt a momentary relief as he dumped them all in the car. It was exhausting. Next time, he should really enlist more people to help carry things.

That was the lesson he learned this time. Shen Dong had placed everything in the car and sat down in front while Kang Yue donned her sunglasses and sat coldly beside him.
