Book:Mafia's Contractal Bride Published:2024-5-29

“I know you are upset, but I can help you share these troubles. Although Yanyan doesn’t like me now, she will slowly accept me after getting along with me for a long time.” Said Li Xiyu.
Lingweihao remained silent. At this moment, he was upset. Since he and Yang Shuting got into such a situation, he had no way to have another relationship, because his daughter was now full of his heart.
Li Xiyu looked at him affectionately. While he was thinking, she stood on tiptoe and pressed her lips against his. She whispered to his mouth, “Ling Weihao, I love you!”
He pushed her away, turned around and said, “you can go back to your room first!”
Looking at his stooping figure, Li Xiyu frowned slightly. She was angry to see him like this, but she pretended to be aggrieved and injured. She whispered, “okay!”
She looked at him and walked out of the study. When she reached out to open the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at him, saying, “I will prove to you that I love you so much.”
Then she opened the door and walked out.
Outside the study, a faint smile appeared on her face. She didn’t believe that she couldn’t get him, his heart.
She would try her best to get what she wanted.
Yang Shuting had been busy with her work these days. Every day after work, she dragged her tired body back home, lay down on the big bed and closed her eyes.
In the quiet room, she could only hear her tired breath and the ticking of the alarm clock.
However, this day, she worked overtime until eight o’clock in the evening. She wore five point high heels and walked towards the apartment.
“Susie…” just as she walked into the stairs, she suddenly heard a low voice behind her.
She turned around and was shocked to seeTangbin. He was still wearing black sportswear and white sneakers. In her impression, he had never worn such clothes. He liked suits and leather shoes. However, too many things had happened in the past seven years. People would slowly change with time and the surrounding environment.
Ben walked towards her. The street lights in the neighborhood were dim, and his shadow was long.
Yang Shuting stood there and looked at him. It was the first time that she had seen him without a peaked cap. He had a crew cut head, and his face was full of vicissitudes of time. The centipede like scar at the corner of his mouth was clearly visible.
“Why are you here?” She asked in confusion.
“I’m here to see you.” He had left her phone number, but she hadn’t called him. He had come to see her for so many days, either for something or just to see her.
“What’s so good about me?” She said that she was an abandoned woman, and even her daughter’s custody was taken away by others. What was so beautiful about her? She sneered in the bottom of her heart.
Tangbin looked at her. Since the light was dim, his expression could not be seen clearly. He said, “don’t you invite me to have a seat upstairs?”
Yang Shuting didn’t answer him, but frowned at him. Although they had a relationship, it was seven years ago and they broke up. But not long after, he tried to do something improper to her. She was more or less on guard against him.
Seeing her hesitation, Ben smiled and said, “if you are afraid that I will do something to you, you can refuse me.”
He didn’t feel frustrated because of her reaction. It was inevitable that people would think he was a bad guy when he was like this.
Yang Shuting thought for a while and said, “Okay, I’ll invite you upstairs, but you can’t stay overnight at my place.” She said first.
“Okay.”Tangbin came to see Yang Shuting. Besides, he had something else to do here.
Although Yang Shuting was a little scared, she didn’t think he would do anything to her, because he looked no longer like the timid and timid Ben in the past, giving an indescribable power.
She turned around and went upstairs. She lived on the five floor.
Tangbin followed her to the five floor.
She took out the key from her bag, opened the door and said, “come in!”
Tangbin came in and looked around four times. The house she lived now was not big, dozens of square meters, a sofa, a coffee table, TV, fridge, water dispenser
“Have a seat.” Yang Shuting glanced atTangbin and said. Then she went to pour him a glass of water. “I don’t have much here. It’s just these scrap metals.” She said with a bitter smile.
Tangbin turned around and looked at her. Then he walked to the sofa and sat down, saying, “it’s good. I live here and the environment is quiet…”
“When I chose this place, it was far away from the city and wasn’t so noisy. I could sleep quietly at night…” she said.
Hearing what she said, Tangbin picked up the water in front of him and took a sip.
“Oh, by the way, what’s your job now?” Yang Shuting changed the topic and wanted to know what he had been doing all these years. She remembered what Huang Xin had told her. He stole the phone so quickly and agilely. Was he reprimanded professionally.
“As long as a customer comes to our house and gives us a reasonable price, we will do it.”Tangbin smiled gently. He didn’t tell Yang Shuting what he was doing now.
“What is it?” Hearing what he said, Yang Shuting frowned and couldn’t think of any job like this.
“Like you, they are all working hard for the money.” But his life was in danger at any time, so he must be very careful when he acted. He couldn’t do anything wrong.
“Oh, really?” Since he didn’t want to make it clear, she wouldn’t ask any more. It seemed that he had done that kind of thing, but she was not sure. If so, why did he do that? She couldn’t figure it out.
“I gave you my phone number. Why didn’t you call me?” He changed the topic, looked at her and asked.
A hint of panic flashed through Yang Shuting’s eyes when she heard his sudden question, but it disappeared soon. She smiled and said, “if there’s nothing else, I won’t call you!”
“If you miss my daughter, I will bring her back to let you see her.” He said.
Hearing his words again, Yang Shuting frowned and looked at him in confusion. “Didn’t you say that? Don’t interfere in my business. If Lingweihao knows it, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Lingweihao restricted her to visit her daughter only two times a month, but she would not use any unusual means to take her daughter away from Lingweihao.
Tangbin knew that she had scruples, so he raised his eyebrows and said, “it doesn’t matter. As long as you think about it, I will help you.”
“Thank you for your kindness!” She said, “I really want to know what on earth you are doing. How could you have the ability to take her away from Greg?”
Then he changed the topic. Tangbin said simply, “it’s okay if you don’t know. If you need anything, just call me. Well, I won’t sit any longer. I’m leaving now.”
He stood up, walked towards the door, opened it and went out.
Yang Shuting stood there in a daze and watched the door close. She frowned. Did he do something that he couldn’t see and do? She didn’t know and didn’t want to know.
Wenyuhang finished his work on Friday and drove to the north city. He called Yang Shuting and told her that he would arrive at the north city soon and asked her if she was off duty. Yang Shuting said that she hadn’t got off work yet and would be off duty at six o’clock!
Stephen had the key to Yang Shuting’s apartment. He took out a big bag of food, opened the door and began to work.
Yang Shuting didn’t come back until six o’clock in the afternoon. It was Friday and she had to work till dark. She dragged her tired body up the stairs and went up the five floors.
When she opened the door and walked in, she smelled the delicious food. Then she heard Stephen’s voice behind her, “Shuting, you’re back!”
Yang Shuting turned around and saw that Stephen, who was wearing an apron, was busy in the kitchen, with a plate of fried beef and red pepper in his hand, with a handsome and charming smile on his face.
She almost forgot that he called her and said he would come to North City.
“Yes, I’m so busy today.” She put her bag on the sofa and went to pour a glass of water. She was so busy that she didn’t even have time to go to the bathroom.
Hearing her words, Wenyuhang smiled. On the table was the dish he cooked by himself, which smelled good. He was taking out a bowl of chopsticks from the kitchen, filling a bowl of soup and putting it on Yang Shuting’s seat. He said, “come and have a bowl of lotus root and sparerib soup!”
Yang Shuting put down the cup and walked over. There were two or three dishes on the table, including beef fried pepper, steamed mandarin fish, garlic fried vegetable, and lotus root and spareribs soup.
She sat down and took a few sips of soup. She had to admit that Stephen’s cooking skills were getting better and better. She didn’t know who would marry a good man like him, but the one who married him must be very happy. But that person was definitely not her.
It was good enough for them to be friends now, so that they wouldn’t be embarrassed by strangers.
Stephen untied his apron, walked over, sat opposite her and said, “the soup is delicious, isn’t it?”
“Wow, it’s delicious. It seems that your cooking skills are comparable to women like us!” Yang Shuting praised him while eating.
Hearing Yang Shuting’s praise and seeing her eating, Stephen couldn’t help smiling.
“If you like, I’ll cook for you every week.” Wenyuhang said with a smile.
“As a CEO, how could you have that kind of time? Forget it!” She didn’t want to bother Stephen too much. As soon as she got off work and came back home, she would cook two simple dishes and eat them by herself. But with someone accompanying her, she wouldn’t eat so tasteless.
“As long as you want to eat, I have time.” Stephen said while eating.
“Forget it. You are busy, and I am busy too. Just take care of yourself. Let’s have dinner together when you are free…” Yang Shuting was so hungry that she kept eating. She didn’t seem to realize what Wenyuhang meant.
Seeing that she had finished the soup in her bowl, Stephen reached out and filled a bowl for her. She thanked him.
Yang Shuting didn’t say anything else to him, but talked about something else. After dinner, she sat on the sofa in the living room to do her financial reports, while Stephen was sitting there watching TV. He tried to lower his voice to avoid disturbing her.
