Chapter 632: Chapter 632 Stereotypes

"So that’s how it is. I find it hard to imagine you eating here because in my mind, you always go to fancy places. Bringing me to a place like this all of a sudden really surprised me."

"There’s nothing to be surprised about. I wasn’t born in a high position with a lot of money. Everything I have comes from my own hard work. I’ve been through a lot of hardships, and I don’t see anything wrong with this food stall. As long as the food is good, no matter where it is, as long as it serves its purpose, I will like it.

The barbecue here, for example, is absolutely outstanding. It’s delicious and not too expensive, but it’s really good. Although it’s not as sanitary as those high-end five-star restaurants, it’s not too dirty, and eating here doesn’t make me sick. I’ve never been one to fuss over these things. Come on, let’s go and try the barbecue. I’m not sure if you’ve ever tried it before.

I just feel like you’re definitely going to fall in love with it when we get there. And if you don’t, come find me. I guarantee I’ll take you around to try different places until you realize that only this place serves the ultimate barbecue."

Shen Dong said this with particular pride, as if he himself were the one grilling the barbecue, ready to fiercely defend it should anyone dare to criticize.

Once they were inside, the owner, upon seeing Shen Dong, greeted him like an old friend. Sticking to the usual, Shen Dong nodded and said, "This time, add a bit more. After all, I brought an extra person. What if there isn’t enough later? And add a dozen grilled oysters too; I think the grilled oysters here are pretty good, let’s try them again.

Last time, I didn’t get enough of them." The owner, chuckling, nodded and started grilling. Shen Dong, having taken a seat, very gentlemanly wiped down the table. It was then that Lin Qi thought of something—sometimes it’s not about dining at expensive places; even eating at small food stalls like this can be blissful.

Because this man is considerate, unlike her previous boyfriend who also brought her to food stalls with his friends, always caring more about his friends and paying the bill, without considering her feelings.

He even sometimes acted under the influence of his friends in ways that clearly showed he wasn’t the right match for her, but back then, she hadn’t seen through it and kept persisting, only to realize what was truly frightening in this world after being dumped. Fortunately, she had since awakened.

She wouldn’t fall into the same traps as before; she had come back stronger. By the time her mood settled, Shen Dong had already cleaned the table and was checking his phone for messages. Lin Qi didn’t have anything fun to do, so she just picked up her phone to catch up on recent news as well.

Meanwhile, Kang Yue was urging Shen Dong, wondering why he hadn’t returned yet, and pointed out that there was no one to handle the bar. Shen Dong thought for a moment and replied, "I’m out eating barbecue. There’s no rush to get back. Everything at the bar is fine now. I’ve arranged the management properly. No one is going to cause trouble, so it doesn’t matter if someone is there to watch over it or not."

Kang Yue stared at the table she had prepared full of food, thinking initially that he would come home for dinner tonight. She had wanted to surprise him, but now it seemed like a wasted effort. Next time, she’d have to ask about his schedule in advance. Is he really that busy?

That application he was developing had already taken so much of his time; he couldn’t even spare a moment to be with her. Kang Yue scoffed but still obediently started eating the dishes. After all, she had made them; it would be a waste to throw them away. Finally, she thought about it and sent him a message,

"Do you want me to save some dinner for you? I made a lot today. I thought you’d be coming home, but now I’ll just enjoy it myself."

After sending the message, she also snapped a photo of the food on the table and sent that over. Feeling quite pleased with herself, this was something delicious she had made after spending a long time cooking. Seeing the reply made Shen Dong feel a bit guilty. If Kang Yue knew he was dining out with another woman, she would be furious.

He certainly couldn’t let his girlfriend find out, but he couldn’t keep it hidden either. So, he honestly said, "I went to that barbecue place we used to go to. I might have eaten a bit too much, and might not be able to eat anymore when I get back. Don’t worry about me. I’ll go home after I finish. It’s been a long time since I had barbecue from there. I’ll bring back whatever you’d like to eat."

Immediately after sending the message, he was terrified that Kang Yue would question who he was out eating with.

Luckily, after reading his message, Kang Yue didn’t ask anything more, just inquired if he wanted anything to eat and left it at that. Shen Dong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Kang Yue was too understanding recently. She even avoided delving into such a dangerous topic and then requested the owner to pack some to take home.

Little did Shen Dong know that at the other end, Kang Yue’s hands trembled slightly as she held her phone. She was upset that he had gone out for barbecue and declined her kindness. She had put so much effort into cooking, and it deeply hurt her that he wasn’t willing to come back and even try her dishes. The more Kang Yue thought about it, the angrier she became.

However, she couldn’t bear to throw away the food, and considering he’d be bringing back some barbecue, she thought she’d wait till he was home. How could she ask him right now? It would be too awkward if colleagues or business partners were around. With that thought, she gradually calmed down and covered the uneaten dishes on the table with a lid.

Then she lay down to rest, just waiting for that man to return. Once he was back, she’d press him for a proper explanation. If he couldn’t provide one,

they weren’t done discussing the matter. He had gone out for barbecue; how come he hadn’t invited her to join? Assuming he was just out with some acquaintances, had she not discovered that food stall herself?
