Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 57 That night itself.

While having dinner, both Susan and Ben were clinging together, That was enough to provoke Penelope. She lost her appetite altogether. She did not stay for dinner for long before she stomped away and locked herself in the room.

Sure enough, no one actually bothered her absence.

After dinner, Susan thought of accompanying Mr. Landor for a walk.

Mr. Landor waved her off as he said smilingly, “That’s enough. You don’t have to accompany an old man. Go and get sprivate tfor you and Ben.” With that said, Mr. Landor rested his hands on the back and began walking away slowly.

All of a sudden, the two of them were being left behind.

Susan took a glance at Ben and began feeling uncomfortable.

When Penelope was still around earlier, she did not mind playing along with Ben and displaying public affection on a high profile. At that time, she did not feel the slightest hint of awkwardness.

However, the hall was filled with pin-drop silence at the moment. She could even hear the sound of their breathing clearly.

Suddenly, Susan felt like escaping.

“Well, Mr. Landor, | brought swork to be finished at home. If there's nothing else, | should...” “Are you working overtat home?” Frowning, Ben teased, “I didn’t expect my wife to be working so hard for me.” Susan fell into a moment of silence.

His words somewhat sounded wrong..

Even so, she could not find any grounds to retort on that.

Chapter 57 “As a capitalist, | should thank you for your effort. However, tonight, we have something more important to do.” Susan blurted out, “What is that?” Ben raised his eyebrows as he replied, “Moving things.” “Uh?” For a moment Susan did not get what he meant.

Smirking, Ben glanced at her with great interest, “Are you still planning to stay in the guest room?” All of a sudden, Susan’s cheeks were flushing. She gathered herself and said, “There are quite a lot of things in there. | can’t possibly finish packing by tonight. I shall take it slow.” « “It's okay, I'll help you.” With that said, Ben turned around and headed upstairs calmly.

Susan was speechless again.

She grunted silently before following after him.

The truth was Susan did not have many personal belongings in there. It took her less than an hour to carry everything back to the master bedroom.

When Susan was staying in the guest room, she mainly followed her preferences when it cto the room decoration. That explained why there were quite a number of pink decorative items in her personal belongings.

She even bought herself a Hello Kitty bolster. She found nothing strange when she put the pink bolster in the guest room.

However, to have the pink bolster in Ben’s minimalist room....

She found no amount of words to describe how strange that would be.

Susan suggested sheepishly, “Letpack these up.” “There's no need.” Ben grabbed her arm in an attempt to stop her.

“They don’t match your room tone at all.” Ben glanced at her smilingly, “Then we can redecorate the room.” Chapter 57 “Redecorate the room?” Susan looked at Ben unbelievably.

When she first cto the Landor residence, Charlie told her a long list of things regarding Ben.

One of the most important things for her to remember was that she must not change the decoration of Ben's room at her wish.

Therefore, even if Susan felt that Ben's room was too gloomy and depressing, she had never thought of making any changes.

That was why her jaw dropped when it was Ben himself who proposed to redecorate the room.

“Why?” Susan looked at him in confusion, “Grandpa toldbefore that there was once a servant who put a brightly colored decorative item in your room. You chased the servant out of the house as soon as you saw it. | guess that you don’t like to have any other person touching your things.” Her unspoken question was why he would give her the power to make changes to his room at the moment.

Ben replied casually, “But you're not any other person.” He was used to living in that room.

0 After all, he always thought that he belonged to darkness.

However, Susan on the other hand, was a ray of sunlight to him.

From the moment he decided to pursue her, he swore that he was not going to dim her light with his darkness.

He wanted to ensure that she could be herself and continue to shine like she always did.

“But you're not any other person...” Susan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing him.

She began to wonder if Ben was merely pretending to be a down-to-earth man for the rest of the time! Otherwise, she could not figure out any better explanation why he could always Chapter 57 cout with a pick-up line unexpectedly.

“You can take your tto redecorate the room. It’s not an urgent matter. Just let my man know if you cout with any idea when you're free.” He paused for a while before he continued casually, “Now we have another more important thing to do.” “What is that?” Curiosity overwhelmed Susan.

Ben brought her to the table and sat down.

He then took out a stack of files and documents.

Susan was bewildered.

Ben took out one of them and gestured for Susan to have a look at it.

Accordingly, Susan opened the file.

It was a real estate certificate.

After Susan had seen it, Ben handed over with another one.

It was a certificate for a grand estate.

It was however not a real estate document that cnext.

She opened it just to see that it was a document certifying a piece of jewelry.

The document indicated that the jewelry was worth five million dollars.

Susan continued to look through each and every document.

After going through no less than ten files, there was only one thing that cto her mind.

Ben was filthy rich! However, she could not understand why Ben wanted to show her the documents.

Puzzling, Susan looked at Ben and asked, “What for did you showall these?” Ben took a sip of tea before he replied casually, “I'll find a tand transfer all of these to you.” Chapter 37 For a second Susan thought she had misheard him.

She thought, “Did he just say that he wanted to transfer those assets to me?” “Is Ben out of his mind?” Judging from those files that she had gone through so far, the assets must have been worth over a few hundred million dollars in total! Susan was utterly shocked.

Ben was confused as he observed her reaction.

According to the test that he had done, a woman needed a man to make her feel safe the most.

As for how to make a woman feel safe.

The answer could not get any simpler.

That was simply to shower her with a lot of money! The suggested method sounded so simple that Ben too could not help but agree with it. That was why when he made up his mind to have a serious relationship with Susan, he immediately had his people work overtand sort those documents out.

However, Susan did not seem as happy as he expected.

Ben frowned for a moment before he thought he figured out the reason.

He then explained with an apologetic look, “I'm sorry, Susan. Supposedly, you're entitled to half of my assets.

But the management in Storm Group is complicated. It's not simple to transfer the shares of the company. So, | may not be able to give you my shares in the company. But you don’t have to worry. You can have all my cash.” With that said, Ben handed over a card.

Startling, Susan asked hesitantly, “I'm sorry to ask, but how much money is in there?” “Um...” JM MM M Chapter 57 Ben pondered for a moment.

73% 10:15 It took him a long silence before he finally said, “I have no idea since | haven't checked the balance for stime. After all, money is nothing but a mere figure to me.” Susan could feel the corner of her mouth twitching.

All of a sudden, she was deeply annoyed with a desperate need to beat him up.

Ben did not sense something wrong with what he had just said. He gestured for Susan to continue going through the remaining documents, “These are all the fixed assets that | have been investing over years. They will be transferred to you in a couple of days’ time. Just take a look at it so that you can have a rough idea as to the value of them.” Susan glanced at the stack of documents.

Suddenly, she had a headache.

It was at that twhen Ben abruptly said, “Hold on, it’s not true.” Susan hurriedly looked at him.

She knew for sure that he must have been out of his mind for what he had said earlier.

“These are just a small part of all my fixed assets. There are documents that are yet to be prepared for other properties. It will take another few days to prepare. You can go through all of them together by then.” With that said, Ben took another sip of his tea idly.

Susan was completely speechless.
