I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 640: Sprained!

Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Sprained!

Kang Yue was dressed in a pretty skirt, taking steps down the staircase. Halfway through, she suddenly smelled something burning. How odd, she thought, wondering if something of hers was burning. She turned to look back and saw smoke billowing from the kitchen. Alarmed, she hurriedly ran down the stairs.

She almost twisted her ankle. In a swift movement, she found herself lying on the ground; the skirt had torn open, split up to the thigh because it was a long dress. She had twisted her foot badly since she had run too quickly due to the urgency, but her shoes couldn’t support her. It was hard to express the heartache in a few words.

All she could feel was intense pain in her foot. Looking back, her foot had swollen like a big bun. If only she had known, she wouldn’t have worn these shoes. Why sacrifice her feet for the sake of beauty? She feared she might not be able to walk in the future.

She felt really angry, and her tears flowed down slowly. Feeling incredibly pitiful, she thought if she really couldn’t walk in the future, wouldn’t she lose to that woman? She had long legs, which was her advantage—she couldn’t afford to lose that.

Meanwhile, Shen Dong was inside, struggling with how to cook the dish so poorly that it would be inedible, thus excusing him from eating it. Then he heard the noise outside and quickly threw down his spatula to go check. He found that Kang Yue was lying vulnerably on the ground with tears in her eyes, not crouching as he expected.

It was just her falling down straight away that scared him half to death. He hurried over to help her up. Kang Yue felt extremely embarrassed. Why did she have to fall here, especially when she was dressed so nicely? Now, she must look terrible, her hair a complete mess.

While thinking this, she felt even more aggrieved. She had planned to make a grand entrance as the protagonist. She cursed the kitchen for starting to smoke at such a time. What was going on? The smell was all burnt, and she ignored the pain in her foot as she spoke urgently, "Did you burn all my food? Smell that odor. See how thick that smoke is. Can’t you see it from the kitchen? Why haven’t you turned off the stove yet? Are you going to burn down the whole kitchen before you’re satisfied?" Kang Yue glared as she spoke, her tone full of incredulity.

Only then did Shen Dong realize he had forgotten to turn off the stove. He rushed back to turn it off. The kitchen still smelled strongly, so he turned on the exhaust fan. Looking at the charred vegetables as black as coal in the pot, he felt relieved that they were inedible since they were burnt. He had staged this scenario to prevent crushing his girlfriend’s confidence.

Little did he know that Kang Yue was so nervous that she had twisted her ankle while running down. Surely he couldn’t blame himself for that, Shen Dong thought silently and then went outside. Kang Yue’s tears were already flowing as she thought about the hard work she put into the food, which Shen Dong had burnt.

She wondered what bad luck she had encountered recently, as nothing seemed to go smoothly. She was furious with herself. Today, she could have gone out and had a good time, but now it seemed impossible. Not making a trip to the hospital was fortunate enough. Looking at her foot, swollen like a pig’s trotter, she thought it was impossible not to go out.

The shoes were still on her feet, and they were particularly uncomfortable. When she thought of bending down to adjust them, she realized it still hurt a lot. She decided just to wait for Shen Dong. After he arrived, he scooped Kang Yue up in a princess carry and placed her on the sofa, furrowing his brows as he spoke, "How could you be so careless to fall down the stairs?

Do you realize how high those stairs are, and yet you wear such high heels? They should just be forbidden. Your legs are long enough, why wear such high heels, trying to compete with anyone? Listen to me, you already look very good, don’t wear these shoes again, okay? I will throw them away later, and you don’t need to deliberately change your style.

I think your previous style had a lot of your own aesthetic. The change made everyone feel a bit like you’ve become similar to others. Let’s not talk about this now, let’s go to the hospital. You can’t play around now; you’ll just have to stay in the hospital for a few days. I thought I could take you out to have fun."

Shen Dong also felt helpless, not expecting Kang Yue to be so unlucky. Now she can’t eat or play, unable to utter a single word of resistance. She has nothing, and even has to discard her beloved tall shoes—then she wouldn’t be able to appear taller in the future.

Such long legs would be wasted. She still wanted to keep these shoes, thinking she just needed to be more careful in the future. So, she hurriedly stopped Shen Dong from tossing them out.

"Wait, don’t throw these shoes away just yet. They can still be kept. Don’t you think these shoes look good? And when I wear them, my feet look much longer. If you throw them away now, it’s like throwing away my money. Do you know how expensive these shoes are? It took nearly a month’s salary to buy them; it’s hard-earned money.

We can’t throw them away, we need to keep them in the house. Even if I wear them again, I’ll just be more careful, and this situation won’t happen again.

It was just because I saw smoke coming from the kitchen suddenly, and in a rush, I ran out in these shoes. Otherwise, I’ve worn them many times before without any issue. Trust me, just put these shoes down for now. They are my lifeline; please don’t mess around."

Kang Yue was frightened. These were her favorite shoes, and wearing them made her 1.88 meters tall—just like a pure-hearted high school girl. After all, this pair of shoes was her true love, and no one could separate them from her.

Now with Shen Dong trying to take these shoes away, he was challenging her authority. While speaking, she used a warning stare, as if to say, if you dare, I will fight you with all I’ve got—a stark naked threat. This really gave Shen Dong a scare.
