Chapter 80
After the shower, Susan came out of the bathroom and picked up her phone.
Ben pretended to be reading a book, but he couldn’t help looking at her out of the corner of
his eye.
He hoped that Susan wouldn’t discover what he had done to her phone.
Susan didn’t notice any change in her phone.
She only casually put her phone back after confirming that there were no new messages.
Ben secretly heaved a long sigh of relief.
Seeing that Ben was reading, Susan didn’t disturb him.
She also found her a book to read and leaned against the bed.
However, Susan was surprised by the content as soon as she opened the book.
She had casually picked up this book from the bookshelf without checking the genre.
Susan flipped over the book to take a look at its cover.
Then, her mouth involuntarily twitched.
She thought in shock, “My sweet little wife?”
What the hell?
Is it a romance novel?
I don’t think reading romance novels is a big deal, but this is from Ben’s bookshelf!
I can’t believe Ben will read this kind of novel.”
Susan stole a glance at Ben, unable to accept it.
Ben raised his eyebrows when he saw Susan looking at him.
He thought to himself, “If she wants to look at me, just do it. She doesn’t have to sneak a

glance at me like this.”
As Ben’s heart was full of joy, Susan withdrew her gaze and focused on the book.
Ben instantly had a slightly regretful expression on his face.
Susan flipped through the book with great interest.
The hero and heroine of this romance novel were childhood sweethearts. The story was not long but sweet which made Susan full of smiles.
However, occasionally, when Susan read some of the hero’s lines, she felt that they were familiar.
Susan curved her lips into a reluctant smile. She finally knew where Ben had learned those cheesy flirtatious words.
Thinking of how Ben was writing down notes while reading romance novels, Susan had an urge to laugh.
She tried to hold back her laughter in vain and chuckled…
Ben pretended to have just noticed Susan’s reaction and walked over in confusion. “What are you reading? Is it that funny?”
“Yes.” Susan gazed at Ben with a bright smile and said, “I just didn’t expect you to have such a wide range of hobbies, Mr. Landor.”

“Hmm?” Ben looked at Susan in bewilderment.
Susan waved the
book in her hand.
The instant Ben saw the book’s cover, he fell silent.
After a long while, he said slowly, “I can explain that.”
Susan immediately put on a serious look to show that she was ready to listen to his explanation.
Ben said with a serious expression, “I think it must have been accidentally left here by a
maid who came to clean the room.”

“Ah, I see,” Susan responded with a nod as if she believed his words.
“Yes, that must be the case,” Ben said seriously.
Susan looked at him with a smile and said, “But you’re not someone else.”
Ben was baffled.
He had not yet realized what Susan was saying.
Susan reached out and gently poked Ben in the forehead.
Ben was still confused.
Susan then said gently, “I didn’t touch your forehead, but your heart.”
Ben was in great shock.
He finally came to realize what Susan was saying!
These seemed to be the cheesy words he had said to Susan before.
As for where these two lines were from…
Ben glanced at the book’s cover again and immediately felt like fainting.
He spoke to himself inwardly, “I!
The president of the Storm Group.
An influential figure who can shake the whole Coraland with just a stamp of my foot!
I can’t accept that I’ve been discovered peeking at a romance novel!
What a shame!
No!
I will never admit it no matter what Susan says.”
Just as Ben was thinking about excuses to gloss it over, Susan suddenly propped herself up and gently left a kiss on Ben’s forehead.

She pecked him quickly and immediately sat back down.
Ben’s pupils abruptly contracted.
He peered at Susan in disbelief.
He thought, “What did this woman do just now?
She took the initiative to kiss me for the second time!
This is…
Great.”
Susan blushed and whispered, “I know you read these novels for me. Ben, thank you.”
She spoke in her heart, “Thank you for taking off your halo for me and learning to love me from scratch.
There was a slight change in Ben’s expression. As a powerful president, he felt a little embarrassed at being exposed that he read romance novels and was unwilling to admit it.
However, a few seconds after Ben heard Susan’s gratitude, he admitted decisively, “This is what I should do!”
He started to regret that he hadn’t admitted it earlier.
He thought he might even be able to get a few more kisses if he admitted it frankly.
Ben leaned closer to Susan as he spoke. “Actually, I not only read this book but was also recommended a lot of other books by my secretary. Can you kiss me a few more times?”
Ben brazenly drew his face to Susan.
Susan glanced at him with embarrassment and annoyance before she said, “Get lost!”
But her tone was soft with no deterrence at all.
Ben pushed his luck. “Then can I kiss you a few more times?”
Susan threw the pillow at him.

Ben didn’t even try to dodge. After all, it didn’t hurt in the slightest.
“You kissed me, and I feel I’m at a disadvantage now. I need to get even with you,” Ben said boldly as he drew his lips to hers.
Susan thought helplessly, “Fine, it’s just a kiss on my face. I’ll allow him.
We are husband and wife after all.”
Susan was mentally preparing herself when Ben directly kissed her on the lips.
Susan immediately widened her eyes in shock.
She couldn’t help but curse inwardly, “What a shameless guy!
Ben Landor! You shameless bastard!”
After an unknown period, Ben finally let go of her.
Susan felt that her lips had become numb and swollen.
She glared at Ben in annoyance and objected, “I only kissed your face! And I didn’t kiss you for so long!”
Ben stared at her rosy lips, unsatisfied. “I don’t mind you taking advantage of me.”
Susan was at a loss for words.
She turned around to get the pillow again.
Ben was amused, with a hint of joy flickering in his eyes.
He could feel that Susan was becoming more and more lively in front of him.
In the past, she was in awe of him and was too afraid to show so many expressions in his
presence.
He was satisfied with her changes.
Just as Susan found the pillow and was about to throw it to Ben, he suddenly hugged her
with a smile.

“What are you doing?” Susan glared at him.
Ben let out a light cough. “Can I discuss something with you?”
“You don’t need your arms to discuss it,” Susan replied furiously.
She felt that Ben was no longer the gentleman in her impression!
She had misjudged him.
Ben pretended not to hear Susan’s complaint and got to the point as he asked, “Do you want someone else to take charge of Shining Tech’s project?”
Susan was stunned and temporarily forgot the fact that Ben was holding her in his arms.
She pondered for a moment and said, “There is nothing between Timothy Leen and I.”
“Of course, I trust you,” Ben hurriedly explained, “But I’m afraid Timothy Leen won’t be willing to give up so easily. I’m afraid he’ll harass you.”
Susan lowered her eyes.
“This is indeed a problem.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Yana tonight. She said everything that should not be said.
If she disclosed everything a few months ago, I would have probably thanked her for that.
But what’s the point of her saying it now?
I’m already with Ben.
And I no longer love Timothy.
I’m not narcissistic, but I can also tell from Timothy’s expression at that time that he probably won’t give up so easily.”
At the thought of this, Susan agreed. “Okay, let’s get someone else to take charge of it.”
“Susan agreed!”

Ben exclaimed excitedly in his heart and couldn’t resist kissing her face again.
Susan glared at him angrily.
Ben said shamelessly, “How about you kiss me back?”
“Scram!”
The powerful Mr. Landor was kicked off the bed.
However, he had a bright smile on his face.
