I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 723: Blocked You

Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Blocked You

Shen Dong didn’t want Zhang Tao to feel that his own authority as a boss wasn’t enough, so he intentionally said this, making Zhang Tao almost cry upon hearing it. How could he have known that at the very moment he was eating frogs, his female colleague happened to expose her bracelet and even voiced those words?

If he had known, he wouldn’t have sent that message and caused such a huge misunderstanding. And if he had been aware of the mistake, he would have explained it right away instead of waiting for someone to confront him about not replying promptly. How pitiful this all is, looking up and down, he felt like he was utterly jinxed.

"It’s okay, she probably just had her phone run out of battery while we were on the call, so she couldn’t answer the phone. Just wait a little longer, maybe it will have some charge then, and I’ll call her for you again. The dishes have just come; let’s eat first. You don’t need to be so anxious. Even if it doesn’t work out, I can directly take you to the store and you can explain to her in person,"

Shen Dong said, comforting him while thinking of quickly getting this matter over with. The moment the food arrived, the aroma was tempting, but for some reason, Zhang Tao couldn’t bring himself to eat. He felt wronged, and the food no longer seemed appetizing. He felt so miserable, feeling unjustly accused.

He wanted to quickly prove that he wasn’t a scumbag. Why was it so difficult? He ate absentmindedly, half-heartedly, constantly asking Shen Dong if he could make another phone call. Shen Dong felt that calling again would most likely result in being rejected, so he thought it better not to call anymore.

"Look, it’s still early. If you keep calling her, she might block me too, thinking it’s because you are next to me, which is why she isn’t answering. Let’s not keep calling. I’ll arrange something else for you later, don’t worry,"

"But I don’t want to worry either. I just feel that I can’t eat until this matter is resolved. It’s causing me so much distress. If it could be cleared up quickly, I would feel so much better. I just want to get this trouble out of the way, you know? Otherwise, I just can’t eat," Zhang Tao said.

"Alright, it’s not like there’s no solution. Maybe she knows you’re with me, which is why she doesn’t want to answer my calls, or perhaps she has even blocked me. Why don’t you try calling her with your own phone? Since you’ve only added her as a friend and haven’t shared contact details, she won’t know it’s you calling,"

After saying that, Shen Dong felt incredibly clever, remembering that he could just let Zhang Tao make the call himself. Whether it would be successful or not was up to her. If it wasn’t, it wasn’t his fault.

But if it was successful, he would definitely have to ask her why she hadn’t answered his calls. It was infuriating. It was as though she would summon him when needed, cordially greeting him and asking to take leave, who knows. But when she didn’t need him, she would just turn off her phone and ignore his calls. What kind of outrageous employee does that?

Feeling very angry about it, he couldn’t help but eat a few more bites, but still, the meal didn’t taste good. Finally, he decided to call. Following the phone number, he dialed. The rings went on for a while, leaving him extremely tense, afraid of being hung up on. If that happened, he didn’t know how he would explain himself.

Tang Yuchan on the other end figured that since she couldn’t find a good man, she should stop fretting over men altogether and just get some sleep. Instead of worrying whether he was a scumbag, it was better to fall asleep and relax. With that thought, she lay in bed, buried under the covers, content with the idea of just sleeping through it.

But the phone kept ringing relentlessly. At first, seeing it was her boss, she smelled trouble and felt it better not to answer, hanging up a few times. Then, upon seeing the calls persist, she decided to block her boss. But why was the phone still ringing nonstop? It couldn’t be her boss again, could it? Left with no choice, she went ahead and answered with not the best tone,

"Hello, what is it? I’ve just woken up. Can’t whatever it is wait until after work?" She spoke with an especially unfriendly tone, assuming the person on the other end was the boss, and she spoke bluntly since their previous interactions were practically friend-like. To Zhang Tao’s shock, instead of the boss, it was Zhang Tao himself on the other side. He had never encountered someone so fierce.

All at once, he was stunned into silence. Could this really be that gentle girl? Something felt off. Holding the phone, he looked tearfully at Shen Dong for help. Shen Dong raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders, signaling he was helpless in this situation, and internally, he began to resent Tang Yuchan, seeing that her phone was on and not turned off.

The only explanation was that she must have blocked him. Ha, well, let’s see how smoothly she manages to get leave next time. Shen Dong felt his authority as a boss was being crushed, fortunately, the dimwit hadn’t caught on and hadn’t ridiculed him; otherwise, Shen Dong would have indeed been angry.

He then discreetly messaged his girlfriend to vent his frustration, "Do you know how outrageous Tang Yuchan is? When she needs me, she’s so endearingly attentive; when she doesn’t, she just blocks me. I opened my phone only to find I was blocked, and my calls couldn’t get through until someone else tried. This woman, really, words fail me." After the complaint, he sent an angry emoji. Kang Yue, playing with her phone, couldn’t help but laugh upon receiving the message. To her, a woman abandoning a petty boss for a man was completely normal.

She replied with an emoji and said, "Stop complaining. I’m here in my room sleeping. That woman is disloyal for the sake of a man. Don’t ask me for advice."
