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

Chapter 650: Chapter 650: Help

"Do you really need my help? There’s still space here, you could’ve squeezed in this small bag of clothes, though the bag is rather small. Are these just a few pieces of fabric inside?"

"I’m surprised you’re quite good at picking things. Where did you learn how to do this so precisely, selecting apparel that perfectly fits everyone? You’re really quite something, and not quite what I first thought of you when I saw you."

When he said this, he also shyly smiled, thinking back to when they first met, when he looked particularly ragged and teary-eyed, certainly disdaining him at that time.

Somehow, he didn’t know why the two of them had developed such a relationship after such a start, feeling initially unimpressed by him, then seeing him as a wealthy young master and finally, when he saw his struggle, straightforwardly gave him that card.

Knowing his difficulties, seeking to help him, he had given him that card to get him through the tough times. And even making excuses to sign him was essentially giving him another chance to choose; such a good-hearted man was surely to be cherished. Hence, sometimes, he truly felt warm inside, as if the world hadn’t given up on him.

In his most difficult moments, he offered him a path to follow, no longer trapping him at the end of his rope. Shen Dong held a special place in his heart; Lin Qi thought, while holding that little bag of clothes, feeling warmth in his heart, recalling those times felt quite blissful.

Shen Dong, carrying the clothes, walked ahead. Hearing the comment from behind, he immediately turned around and said, "So that’s what you saw in me at first. Tell me what I looked like then; I’m quite curious about what impression people have when they first see me."

"I haven’t figured it out myself yet; and now that I’ve finally met a little white rabbit, let the rabbit unveil it for me." His teasing words instantly made Lin Qi’s face blush as they had encountered many men before, all speaking similarly.

But why did she react this way solely to Shen Dong? Lin Qi couldn’t understand it, yet felt extremely good about these emotions within her, simply let them be and continued to evolve regardless.

The two walked in, with Lin Yun still pondering what they had discussed outside, only to see them both come in carrying clothes. Seeing the heaps of clothes in Shen Dong’s hands and then glimpsing the tiny bag in Lin Qi’s, Lin Yun felt somewhat angry, and promptly went and took the clothes from Shen Dong’s hands,

then said rather artificially, "Mr. Shen, why are you so bad at delegating tasks? We’re all here, you could have just told us, carrying all these clothes by yourself must be tiring. If I were here, I would definitely help you."

"And Lin Qi, why are you carrying so little? Mr. Shen is carrying so much, isn’t that tiring for him? You’re being quite irresponsible. When you go out, why not carry more? Don’t think you’re too frail."

As she spoke, her eyes filled with criticism towards Lin Qi, clearly wanting Shen Dong to see who was truly capable and competent, unlike someone who was merely a vase, good for nothing, not even able to help properly with carrying things and always choosing the lightest load. This behavior was just pretentious, unlike her own.

Lin Yun was desperate to prove herself; Shen Dong seeing Lin Qi take the clothes and the ensuing chaos, felt somewhat speechless. What was this woman about, daring to show off like this, not realizing these clothes were categorized? Now everything’s all mixed up, how would he find what was what?

"Miss Lin, these clothes were categorized by me; please don’t just randomly take them. Give them to me. Also, don’t be so presumptuous. If I didn’t ask you to do it, it’s better if you don’t assume. Do what you’re told, not smarting off. This kind of behavior is really not acceptable here."

"I hope you won’t make this mistake again. These clothes are messed up now and I have to recategorize them. I asked Lin Qi to take those clothes because I still needed a bit more to carry, not because I couldn’t carry this. Do you see me as frail? If you think I can’t even lift this much, I would advise you not to overthink it."

"My body is quite sturdy, not to mention these clothes, even if they were iron I could manage. If Miss Lin doesn’t believe it, we can test it out. There’s no need for such sarcasm; it’s really unpleasant to hear other people talking like this."

"I hope you won’t do this again, otherwise if there’s a complaint, it could lead to a deduction of your salary. That should have been one of the first things you learned, didn’t your teacher teach you that?"

Shen Dong has noticed this woman’s disrespect towards Lin Qi, so he felt no need to respect her either. Lin Qi was someone he personally took under his wing, naturally, he focused more on her now. Of course, now was the time to really stand up for Lin Qi, especially since this woman had messed up his careful arrangements, which he despised most.

He could not tolerate it anymore and just laid it all out, curious to see just how thick the other party’s skin was. After Shen Dong finished speaking, Lin Yun’s face went pale, shocked by how directly the boss had spoken. Usually, even if she misspoke, others would overlook it because of her face, not continuously pointing out her faults like this man.

Lin Yun was somewhat upset as she was quite attractive and many were interested in her; if not for the good money at this place, she would have left long ago. How could this boss be so ungrateful and get upset over a few extra words and items she took?

But ultimately, as they say, ’under someone’s roof, you follow their rules.’ Earning their money meant she had to bow her head so she lowered her head, feigning that she was truly sorry, and said, "I’m sorry, boss. I didn’t realize I made such a big mistake; please forgive me. I promise it won’t happen again."
