I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 642 Unlucky

Chapter 642: Chapter 642 Unlucky

After the doctor finished the bandaging, Shen Dong nodded slightly and spoke to the doctor, "Thank you, doctor. I also wanted to ask if there’s anything else we need to be careful about, such as any dietary restrictions or whether the injury can’t get wet, and when we can come back to remove the dressing. Please, doctor, could you explain in detail?

"I’ll note everything down so I don’t forget when we get back." Shen Dong is a very good boyfriend who naturally wants to take care of these things. After understanding all that, he then planned his schedule. Glancing at the doctor, Shen Dong said, "You seem like a considerate person, so how could you let your girlfriend end up like this?

"Let me tell you, if I didn’t value your girlfriend, there would be plenty of others who would. It’s not that you don’t appreciate your girlfriend’s long legs, making her wear sky-high heels, right? I’m telling you that’s not okay. Some of the words I said inside were partly directed at you. As a doctor, it’s not convenient for me to say too much."

The doctor simply wanted to lecture but, upon reflection, ended up holding his tongue, saying only this much. Shen Dong felt utterly wronged, as he never asked Kang Yue to wear such high heels; he hadn’t ever done that, even when he was about to toss the shoes away just now, she didn’t agree.

He ended up being blamed for everything, a most grievous injustice, but in the end, he had to accept it. Seeing that the young man showed signs of improvement, the doctor was very satisfied. It was rare to see a young person so perceptive, so he decided to say a few more words.

"Actually, it’s not too serious. You just need to rest well. I’m worried about future complications. You understand, right? The initial healing phase may be fine, but if there’s another slip in the future, the foot will still be very fragile. It really hurts a lot on rainy days, so you really need to take good care of your girlfriend."

Hearing a lot about the foot injury from the doctor, Shen Dong could only listen. When he took Kang Yue back home from the hospital, his face was very somber, so dark he didn’t know what to say—it felt as if his foot were wrapped up like a big white radish.

"Sigh, I probably can’t wear those tight shoes these next few days and can only wear slippers." This would be a big hit to her image, not being able to showcase her height, truly regrettable. Going out to a bar now would surely lead to being outshined without that advantage.

And those people all wear higher heels than one another. She definitely needed to take proper rest at home these next few days and not go anywhere, then she said to Shen Dong,

"Boss, look at the state I’m in now. You wouldn’t be so heartless as to drag me back to work, right? I think I may need to take a few days off to recover at home. What do you think? If you agree, I’ll be very grateful."

When Kang Yue finished speaking, the smile in her eyes seemed sure that Shen Dong would agree.

Shen Dong glanced at her foot and said, "Once your foot gets a bit better and you can walk properly, you’ll still need to come back to work. We’re really short on people; how can I let you take leave so casually?

"And, haven’t you already taken enough leave recently? I was actually planning to give you today off, and look what happened to your foot—you can’t even have fun and will just have to stay at home."

’Now I know what a true man cold-heartedness is’, it’s you being utterly uncompromising right now, still making me work while I’m injured. I’ve never met such a despicable capitalist."

On the way home, the couple bickered the whole time until Shen Dong finally compromised and said, "Well, promise me one thing, and I’ll let you take time off to rest at home." Kang Yue’s eyes lit up as she heard this, as if she heard a lifesaver—the chance to rest at home was just too good.

Work wasn’t much of an issue, and as for competing with a bunch of other women at the bar, it was just too tiring; she decided not to go. Being able to take leave, hmm, not bad, she thought; at least the kid had some conscience to sympathize with her. Little did she know that Shen Dong’s next sentence would plunge her into hell.

Shen Dong said, "As long as you promise never to wear high heels over five centimeters again, I’ll agree." It was like a bolt from the blue. Not wearing heels over five centimeters? That’s hardly even a high heel.

That’s almost like wearing flats, just a tad bit taller. No, she simply couldn’t accept that; with such great legs, it would be a shame not to wear taller heels.

She was about to argue, to seek a chance to wear taller heels again, but Shen Dong cut in, "If you’re thinking about arguing with me, then don’t bother. That’s my only condition—you can take leave if you agree.

If you can’t agree, then continue working. Wear whatever you want in the future. It’s your ankle that’s so fragile; see what happens next time you twist it?"

Shen Dong knew how to play the emotional card, and his tactics thoroughly disconcerted Kang Yue.

Now, doubting herself, she felt she had been wrong and hung her head in shame. Just as she was about to speak, she realized she couldn’t keep talking back:

"Fine, I won’t wear them. After all, I’m already tall. I don’t need those advantages to compete with them, and if they need them, it shows they’re not as good as me." She comforted herself with these thoughts and then gently tugged on Shen Dong’s sleeve, signaling she didn’t want him to be angry anymore, and said,

"Okay, I promise I’ll never wear high heels over 5 centimeters again. Is that good? And I’ll be more careful from now on. I’ll avoid making a fuss over anything and ensure my own safety. Are you a bit happier now with this?"

Kang Yue carefully tested the waters with these words and glanced at Shen Dong. Hmm... her attitude was very good, there was nothing wrong with her approach, so it seemed okay to her. She hoped that after hearing her promise, he would let her off the hook. Shen Dong didn’t plan on having her just comply with his words; he needed her to really understand for herself.
