I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 727: Urgent

Chapter 727: Chapter 727: Urgent

Shen Dong stood agape, his jaw dropped so wide, one could fit an egg inside. Why was it that other girls could calm down so quickly and listen after getting angry? His girlfriend was different; she would stay mad for quite a while, ignoring any explanation no matter what.

Now, it seemed so easy for him, which felt quite unfair to Shen Dong. Though feeling slightly upset about it, he thought it wasn’t his place to intervene, and he had to silently listen to their conversation. At first, he thought Zhang Tao was quite funny with his uninterrupted talk; he wasn’t afraid of biting his tongue.

Yet the fact that Zhang Tao continued so persistently was impressive. Well, might as well see how it unfolds, Zhang Tao kept spouting his words and elaborating every detail, fearing she might miss something. His tone was slow and gentle, and how she thought about it from the other end was beyond him.

Tang Yuchan had listened to the explanation carefully and started to ponder. It seemed possible, right? But was there any evidence? She couldn’t just take his word for it, considering the possibility that he might already have a girlfriend and was just stringing her along by lying.

So, she spoke, "I really want to believe you, but I generally only trust evidence. We aren’t that close yet, what if you’re deceiving me? You need to give me a reason to believe you, or if you have any evidence, present it."

"You said earlier that Shen Dong had been there at that time, could you let Shen Dong take the phone? I want to ask him, and if what you say is true, I will apologize to you. I really did act impulsively as I wasn’t getting any responses from you and thought you were pondering how to deceive me."

"I felt it wasn’t right to continue that way and preemptively deleted you. You can ask Shen Dong, my usual character is like this; anything inappropriate or unacceptable, I delete immediately and remove it from my life, so I don’t keep trash around me—oh, not that I’m saying you’re trash."

"I’m not targeting you, I’m like this with everyone. Whenever someone acts out of the ordinary, I react that way. But I still need to ask Shen Dong; if I misunderstood you, I owe you an apology." After calming down, Tang Yuchan’s thoughts were easy to follow. Was Zhang Tao now relieved that evidence was needed?

Having evidence, Zhang Tao handed the phone to Shen Dong, "Just tell her exactly what you saw when you came in, no need to hide anything or exaggerate, just state the facts. I’ve explained everything, and it’s all settled now."

Relieved, Zhang Tao handed over the phone, his face unwittingly showing happiness. His lips curled upwards. Seeing this, Shen Dong felt somewhat uneasy, but he still took the phone, hearing Tang Yuchan say, "Don’t worry, there is absolutely no other woman. I’m out eating with him now."

"Really, boss? You can’t deceive me, don’t let your bro-code add layers to this. We’ve been friends for many years; you wouldn’t want to see me fall into a trap. I believe you’d never lie, right?"

Tang Yuchan knew how to elicit the truth, first by throwing such a big flattery at Shen Dong, which made his lips twitch. Ah, this was typical Tang Yuchan always giving such high praise when she wanted something.

"Don’t worry, how could I possibly deceive you? Let me tell you, when I arrived, he was just eating steamed buns, looking so pitiful. I thought since the task was already over, I’d take him out for a good meal. If you don’t believe me, you can come and see for yourself later. Everyone’s eating plain steamed buns, who’d go out to eat, huh?

"This guy’s just a bit foolish, using such a method to deceive. But don’t worry, besides this, he hasn’t deceived you in other aspects. I can vouch for that. Ah, he’s also single right now, so if you’re considering pursuing him, go ahead without hesitation.

"I really think highly of you two, and I hope to celebrate your wedding in a few days. Got that? Let’s avoid any more misunderstandings. I won’t hold it against you for blocking my number earlier, considering you did it for my sister-in-law’s sake."

Shen Dong said this with a smile, hurriedly clearing up their misunderstanding—a quicker resolution being better. He needed to be able to explain himself to his own girlfriend, not let this new couple ruin things over a misunderstanding.

"I didn’t think too much about it," Tang Yuchan responded indifferently. "I just don’t like being lied to, and thought he kept not replying because he was given a chance, so I deleted him quickly. Otherwise, I usually wouldn’t delete someone so quickly. You know my character. Later, could you speak well of me? Don’t let him get the wrong idea about me."

"At first, I wasn’t doing it on purpose. I was just angry and can get impulsive, as you know. Just explain things nicely to me, and don’t leave a bad impression over there. I don’t want him to see me as some kind of tiger; please help me out, boss.

"Don’t worry, I’ll work hard in the future. Last night when I was free, I even persuaded Kang Yue to not overthink things and just sleep. You should help me out too, right? From now on, we should help each other out. Isn’t that right?

"Moving forward, to sustain things long-term, we really need to come to a good understanding. Don’t you think, boss? I trust you’re a smart person."
