I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 603 Grinding

Chapter 603: Chapter 603 Grinding

Such a simple conversation, yet Shen Dong could clearly hear everything from outside and couldn’t help but chuckle to himself. The young mistress’s temper was exactly the same as before; she was like a spark to powder, and when she had reason on her side, she was relentless. Look how many times she’d repeated herself about the issue today.

She still wasn’t willing to let herself off the hook. Sigh, it was really hopeless. But what could he do? If he didn’t coax her, time would pass, and she would nurse a grudge once she got wind of the gossip. Who knew, she might even give him a good scolding.

First things first, he needed to find a way to lure the young mistress out. As for the rest, he would make plans later. If he wasn’t mistaken about this door, it should be locked. He reached out and touched the doorknob, which indeed was locked. Tang Yuchan was clearly here to disturb his peace.

However, he wasn’t without the option of seeking external help. He took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Tang Yuchan: "You’ve got to think of a way to coax this ancestor out for me. You wouldn’t want her to pester you all night and keep asking me the same questions over and over, would you? Didn’t you experience this once before?

If you want to go through that again, then I’m not going to help you. I’m here trying to sweet-talk her now; help me out, will you? By helping me, you’re also helping yourself, right?

Once this is over, I promise to take you out for some good drinks. Just pick any bottle you want at the bar, and I’ll even grant you a day off. How’s that for a sweet deal? This matter also counts as helping yourself. Even if you just did it for your own sake, there are so many benefits waiting for you. Why are you hesitating?"

After sending the message, he waited for Tang Yuchan’s reply. Kang Yue, having finished speaking, began to feel conflicted within. Was that too harsh what she just said? She had possibly gone too far. The other party hadn’t been that extreme; he just kept silent. Oh no, what if she had really angered him?

She was starting to feel anxious when she snapped back to reality and thought, why worry? She was with Tang Yuchan, and no matter what, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Whatever she said here, Tang Yu could hear it, and after all, this whole situation was the man’s fault for his stubborn silence. If he hadn’t been silent, none of this would have happened.

At first, Kang Yue felt a twinge of guilt, but the more she thought about it, the more she believed she had done the right thing. Why should she care about the man’s feelings when he hadn’t considered hers?

That felt perfectly fine; she was now settled and sure that she had played her part exceptionally well. Tang Yuchan, seeing Kang Yue’s demeanor, knew that the girl had plenty of tricks up her sleeve.

Probably cooking up some mischievous scheme, Tang Yuchan silently prayed for Shen Dong, hoping he could withstand whatever was coming. Meanwhile, Shen Dong was still pondering if this external help could save him, which would make his night easier. Tang Yuchan, after checking Shen Dong’s message, thought there was some validity to it; helping him was indeed helping herself.

But how could she coax this little tyrant away? If neither softness nor firmness worked alone, then she’d have to combine them. Start by probing, she thought before sidling up to Kang Yue and feigning concern, "Are you really that angry? I thought you were just a bit upset. Looking at you now, it seems like you’re too angry to eat. I’ve always said men are no good; why didn’t you believe me before? Now, after one piece of advice, you’re ready to cut him off, right? If this continues, it’s your own health that will suffer."

Kang Yue had thought her friend wouldn’t understand her feelings, watching with a hint of disappointment. But to her surprise, her friend took the initiative to come and comfort her. Her heart warmed immediately, and she responded, "Exactly, exactly! You have no idea how unreasonable he has been—you see it now, don’t you?

Don’t think that just because he’s uttering sweet nothings out there, he can erase his past behavior. I remember it all too clearly, especially his silence back then. Honestly, he broke my heart, and he wasn’t even remorseful. What’s the use of a man like that? I’m planning to just stay here and not move. Let him go back to his room alone. I don’t want to deal with him anymore."

After saying that, she turned her head away. Tang Yuchan, witnessing this, could tell what the young girl was thinking—it was clear that no matter what, reconciliation wouldn’t come easily for the man. She might as well drop a few harsh words to make Kang Yue think.

"I don’t think that’ll do any good. You need to say something even more severe to make him realize what he’s done wrong. Don’t you agree? Look, if you sweet-talk him now and then make up with him later, won’t all this effort be in vain? You’re here, getting all worked up, and the guy doesn’t even have a clue.

He’ll just think it’s a simple cold war. You should really let out a few harsh words to make him understand what’s making you so angry. This way is just useless, you know? You need to learn more. Here you are, still as naive as ever. I thought you would have made some progress this time, but it seems there are no new tricks up your sleeve. Do you actually want to let this man realize his mistake? If you do, follow my lead. Understand?"

After finishing her speech, she checked to see if Kang Yue was truly willing to learn. Shen Dong, eavesdropping outside, was dying to see if this external help would bring any benefit. But hearing Tang Yuchan speak such words, he was beside himself with frustration.

It was bad enough not to get help, but she was fanning the flames from the inside! It seemed, in hindsight, that sending a private message had been a mistake—if he hadn’t, she might not have stirred things up. Sigh, it didn’t matter. He’d see what solutions would be offered. If he could handle them, well and good; if not, then he’d be in trouble.

Tang Yuchan wasn’t as easy to fool as that silly boy. Alas, Shen Dong could only take it one step at a time. Right now, he wished he could go back to the moment he chose to remain silent and strangle himself. Then he could have simply complimented his girlfriend, making things better with a few simple words. Instead, he was here needing to cajole her persistently.
