Chapter 49
Ben sat in his seat and memories flashed across his mind.
He recalled his childhood.
When he first met his biological mother.
She was tender and kind, just as what he thought about her.
He liked her and wanted to stay close to her.
He felt that he had found his happiness.
And then she set a fire.
In the burning flame, she grinned evilly. That scene was deeply imprinted on his mind.
Not long after that, he adopted a cat.
The cat had white fur and azure eyes, looking like an angel.
He liked this cat very much and he could play with it all day long..
It was very cute and clingy. He was healed and somewhat felt happiness again.
Later, he had a serious illness.
#
Surprisingly, it was because someone knew he liked the cat so much and took the opportunity to put drugs in the fur of the cat.
From then on, he never held the cat again.
From then on, he didn’t indulge in love or care for people and pets any longer.
To him, the feeling of happiness was a terrible sign.
It meant that when this happiness passed, he would soon suffer a worse nightmare!
Therefore, when he realized that he was falling into Susan, he chose to stay away from her and be indifferent.
But that pretence did not last long.
He could not help but protect her and cosset her.
Once he told himself that this was the most basic respect he gave to his wife.
But when he though about it again, he never had such feeling about his last wife.
At first, he could still delude himself.
But now, it seemed that he couldn’t continue to do so.
Ben stood in front of the huge floor–to–ceiling window, his eyes brimming with inexpressible emotions.
Maybe he should try again.
“Susan, I accept my fate,” wondered Ben.
“If I win, I will be reborn.”
“If I lose, I will be doomed.”
He picked up his phone and silently sent a message, “What can I do to make it up?”
The secretary replied quickly.
“Pestering and sending gifts are just making things up for that. The most
important thing is to never make a woman angry!” Mr. Landor, I have a web link here for you. There are some random test questions. If you can score more than 80 points, you are graduated!”
Test questions?
Ben disdained.
He never scored below 100 points in any test.
It was a shame for him to get 80 points.
“Send it over.” said Ben faintly. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Then, he received a web link.
He clicked on it.
Then, he started to check the first question.
“Question One: If you want to buy a lipstick as a gift, which color should you choose?”
Then, there were three different colors of lipstick to pick from.
Ben stared at them for a long time.
The other two were too bright red, and he found the pinkish one better than the others.
Without hesitation, Ben chose the taboo Barbie pink.
Then, a huge grimace popped up on the webpage.
Ben was surprised.
“Did I get it wrong?” he was confused.
Well, it was just an accident.
He would never get it wrong in the next question.
Question Two: “How should you coax your girlfriend when she is angry?”
Option One: I have something to do. Get yourself settled down, we shall talk about
it later.
Option Two: Coax? Funny. Women should obey me.
Option Three: Baby, I was wrong! Can I buy you a bag?
H couldn’t get it wrong again.
Ben analysed this question very sensibly.
Option Two was clearly a wrong answer. He was not a nerd!
Option Three was too illogical. After all, the test did not mention whose fault it
was.
In summary, the answer must be Option One!
After the quarrel, both should calm down and then distinguish right from wrong.
No problem!

Ben was full of confidence in choosing Option One.
Then… He saw a familiar face again.
Ben was speechless.
A set of test papers contained 100 questions that were randomly extracted from the database.
It took Ben an hour and a half, and all his energy to finish it..
In the end, he finally got his result.
Ben stared at the bloody–red number blankly for a long time.
“30 points. Congratulations, you’re a hopeless nerd.”
He just got 30 points!
The total score was 100 points!
He had never suffered such humiliation in his life.
“Mr. Landor, How is your score?” At this time, the secretary was curious and sent at
message.
After Ben asked him about the emotional problems, he was not afraid of Ben anymore.
He even sent a message actively!
Ben replied blankly, “I don’t have time to do that yet.”
When he finished replying, he threw his phone aside.
He could not believe it. How could he get such a score on this test?
At night.
When Ben returned home, he was drowsy.
Working on those questions was a hundred times more tiring than discussing a project.
To answer the test questions, he came home late.
Coincidentally, Susan took the initiative to work overtime, so she went home late
100. 100.
They just bumped into each other at the entrance.
When Susan saw Ben, it was like a mouse saw a cat. She quickly lowered her head, “I’m sorry!”
That question reflexively appeared in Ben’s mind.
“What should you do when your girlfriend says she’s sorry?”
The correct answer was…
Ben suddenly stepped forward and hugged Susan.
Susan was confused.
A trace of fear appeared on her face, and she stiffened.
What was going on!
Ben was… hugging her?
Ben was also startled by his subconscious move. In fact, beside hugging, the correct answer included an affectionate kiss as well!
Affectionate kiss…
Ben’s heart was burning for a moment, but when he sensed the stiffness in her, he slowly let go of her.
Susan looked at Ben in horror, “Mr. Landor?”
Ben was silent.
What should he do next?
There was no answer to this question.
“Emm.” Ben calmly replied, and then walked away.
Susan looked a little flustered now, so he decided to walk away and let her settle down her emotion.
@JMM MIN
So, was he getting more and more considerate now?
At the gate.

Susan was dumbfounded the cold wind. What… What the hell was going on?
Susan thought that Ben must have gone crazy and he would get normal later.
But she never expected that this was just the beginning.
The next day.
When Susan arrived at the office, she saw a huge bouquet of flowers on her table.
“Susan!” Colleagues looked at her with gossipy faces, “Look, who sent the flowers?!”
“This is specially cultivated rosebush with the best quality. I guess just such one bouquet would cost over 1500 dollars! Susan, it must be a rich man.” said Jaron excitedly.
“It should be a wrong delivery.” Susan was completely dumbfounded.
“It’s impossible. The deliveryman confirmed your name with us before putting the bouquet down.” replied the colleagues.
Susan was even more confused.
What… What happened?
She walked over and picked up the card on the bouquet.
The gossipy crowd gathered around at once.
Then, everyone saw the high–profile name left on the card.
“Ben Landor.”
Ben Landor???!!!
Was their boss Ben Landor?
