I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 703: Treat It

Chapter 703: Chapter 703: Treat It

Kang Yue quickly spoke up, hoping to prompt Shen Dong to hurry up and help her with work. Only then did Shen Dong realize why the woman from yesterday was so gentle and the one today was so ferocious—it turned out that yesterday’s kindness was just to trap him into doing work, thus the gentleness.

He had carelessly fallen into a trap of tenderness and it was all his own fault. In desperation, Shen Dong could only silently lift his head, rub his face, and feel like the word "resentment" was written all over him. Alright, he was probably overthinking.

To think he had suspected his girlfriend of seeing someone else? That was not the case; it was just a scheme to trap him. He didn’t need to think about who was behind the plot to know. But he decided not to pursue it any further; being able to accompany his girlfriend for so long was already quite an achievement, otherwise, she must have been incredibly bored yesterday.

Moreover, yesterday’s incident was indeed his fault, so he accepted his punishment and no longer held a grudge against anyone. He quickly got up to wash and tidy himself, checking from head to toe and finding no issues. But when he was about to leave the house, he suddenly wondered, why was he going out so early?

There were no important matters to attend to recently, and even if there were issues at the bar, they only operated at night, and weren’t they closed recently? Then he had even less to do, waking up so early was simply a waste of time. Realizing this, he quickly sat down and turned to Kang Yue, saying:

"Didn’t I tell you last night that the bar isn’t operating these days? Yet you’re still sending me to work. Do you want to work me to death? That’s just cruel. I explained everything last night, and now you’re treating me like this. It’s heartbreaking, Yueyue. You can’t do this. Did you pick up these bad habits from someone else?"

It was only then that Shen Dong realized what was happening and turned around to settle the score with his girlfriend. Kang Yue stuck out her tongue and said, "Alright, I forgot. I thought you had to go this morning, so I woke you up early. Why are you disagreeing with it now? It wasn’t like this when I used to wake you up early before. How come you’ve changed now?

Alright then, it turns out you’re like this. No wonder you weren’t rushing to reply to my messages last night. You’d changed. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have rushed you last night. I’d have waited for you to come back and tell me yourself. Humph, just take a good look at yourself. If you can’t reassure me properly today, I don’t want to see you anymore."

After saying this, she turned around and walked away, unconcerned about the look on Shen Dong’s face, leaving him to realize the phrase "small-minded" and how hard women are to foster.

Meanwhile, Kang Yue lay on the bed, laughing. Her anger had mostly subsided, and her mood had greatly improved, leaving her with no other feelings. In despair, Shen Dong unlocked his phone and saw a message from Lin Qi asking about his safety, to which he hurriedly replied positively.

That’s when Lin Qi shared her concerns. She had been unable to sleep the previous night, pondering how to handle the security guard situation. It definitely couldn’t just be left as is, especially since the bar’s security was quite poor. Enhanced measures were necessary to avoid future disasters.

She had mentioned the security issue multiple times, yet it remained unresolved. The security personnel seemed no more substantial than decorative pillows.

"I think we need to hire more security guards for our bar, the kind who actually has real strength, not like these decorative pillows. You understand what I mean, right? We need someone who can truly offer protection, not just threaten people. The real trouble comes when they’re actually needed. You understand the importance of security now, don’t you?

I’m also concerned about my personal safety. That organization already holds a grudge against me. If the second-in-command doesn’t die, I’ll definitely suffer when he gets out. I haven’t strategized yet, but considering how those people respect him, I know it won’t be easy to deal with. So, you also need to think of a solution.

If you can’t handle this, then I’m done for." Lin Qi added a comical emoticon to lighten the mood. Mr. Shen was now wide awake. Now that work was involved, he definitely needed to respond properly. He quickly organized his thoughts and directed his subordinates to take action.

The security issue was indeed severe. If not properly addressed soon, it could cause even greater problems later on. He decided to personally select candidates from the underground boxing community. Choosing those who looked young and motivated to fight seemed promising for guarding the bar.

However, their character needed thorough evaluation. Unfortunately, his girlfriend had injured her foot and couldn’t accompany him. Otherwise, he would have taken her to the underground scene, as she had always wanted to go but never had the chance. However, he couldn’t take anyone else.

If she found out that he had taken someone else, it would lead to a huge argument. To avoid this drama, it was better to go alone. If he had to take someone, it would be a man, not a woman.

"Why do you ignore me early in the morning, giggling at your phone? If I didn’t know any better, I’d think there was a woman on the other side of that chat. Are you laughing so joyfully because it’s that Lin Qi?"

Kang Yue half-jokingly said this to express her dissatisfaction. Embarrassed, Shen Dong scratched the back of his head and quickly put down his phone, saying:

"Oh, we were just discussing work. Don’t believe me? Look, there’s really nothing there."

After saying this, he handed his phone to her. It seemed she was indeed wrong to worry. Kang Rui briefly glanced through it and could tell it was all strictly professional work chatter. Clearly, she had been overly concerned.
