Beautiful Ex-wife's Contract Son-in-law

Wu Xu left the training room and returned to the villa. He first went to the bathroom to wash his face and wipe the sweat off his body. Then he walked into the dining room and sat with Ma Zhong and Ye Ping on the bench beside the dining table to eat breakfast.    

    

Ye Ping saw a few plates of steaming dishes on the table and picked up the chopsticks to eat with relish.    

    

"The taste is not bad. It can be said that the color and fragrance are beautiful!" Ye Ping praised Ma Zhong as she ate. "Ma, I did not expect the dishes cooked by a big man like you to be so delicious. When can you teach me?"    

    

Ma Zhong smiled and said humbly, "It's average. My cooking skills are far worse than Mr Wu's. If you want to learn how to cook, find him!"    

    

Ye Ping looked at Wu Xu, who was sitting beside her, and asked,    

    

"Really?"    

    

Wu Xu shook his head and said, "Don't listen to Mr Ma. He is joking with you. How can my dishes be as good as his?"    

    

"Don't be modest." Ye Ping raised her eyebrows and said, "Why don't you cook dinner for us after you get off work tonight so that I can have a taste of your cooking?"    

    

Last night, Ye Ping sneaked into Wu Xu's room while he was sleeping. When she asked Wu Xu to move over and live with them, Wu Xu used the reason that Zhang Mengmeng lent him this villa. He firmly rejected her request, but Ye Ping still did not give up. As if she had amnesia, she actually made him say such words.    

    

Wu Xu thought of last night when Ye Ping touched the darkness and entered his room. He was about to pull open the blanket and get into his bed when he grabbed her wrist. After he turned on the light in the room, Ye Ping sat down on his bed. When she mentioned her thoughts to him, she felt a wave of panic in her heart.    

    

Wu Xu could not guarantee that his willpower had always been so strong. If one day he could not stand Ye Ping's pestering and did not close the door, he would be in trouble if he accidentally fell under her pomegranate skirt.    

    

If that was really the case, Wu Xu would not only let Zhang Mengmeng down, but also let down his initial feelings, so he replied:    

    

"We will talk about it when the time comes. It's late. Everyone still needs to go to work in a while. Hurry up and eat, or else you will be late for work..."    

    

"Haha..." Ye Ping smiled awkwardly. She naturally understood that Wu Xu was giving her an order to leave, so she did not say anything and lowered her head to eat.    

    

The atmosphere at the dining table started to become dull.    

    

After breakfast, Wu Xu said to Ma Zhong, "Mr Ma, I will clean up the bowls and chopsticks. Help me send Ye Ping over. I still have some things to take care of later!"    

    

Ma Zhong did not know what happened between Wu Xu and Ye Ping last night, but he knew that Ye Ping was not the type that Wu Xu liked. He did not want to get too close to her, so he said to Ye Ping.    

    

"Ms. Ye, I will send you home now. Can you do it?"    

    

Ye Ping did not expect Wu Xu to let Ma Zhong take her home. She was a little disappointed and replied, "Ma, if it is not convenient for you, I will go outside and take a taxi."    

    

"It is okay." Ma Zhong shook his head and said, "After I take you home, I will drive straight to Rongcheng. Just go to work in the Project Department of Wanghai. "    

    

"Alright then, thank you!" Ye Ping gave Ma Zhong a grateful smile.    

    

"You're welcome. Let's go!" Ma Zhong said and walked straight out of the villa.    

    

Ye Ping looked at Wu Xu with resentment.    

    

Wu Xu pretended not to see anything and said to Ye Ping, "Take care. Come and play when you have time!"    

    

"You chased me away and still came to play your sister," Ye Ping cursed in her heart. She finally squeezed out a smile from her face and replied, "Okay, I will come!"    

    

After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the villa with Ma Zhong.    

    

"This woman is quite kind. Why would she marry a scumbag like Shen Ao?" Looking at Ye Ping's back as she left like a lotus leaf swaying in the wind, Wu Xu sighed with emotion in his heart.    

    

Wu Xu cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks and brought them into the kitchen to wash them clean. He then returned to his bedroom and picked up his phone to call Zhang Mengmeng.    

    

To be honest, he had brought Ye Ping home last night because he had no other choice. He was afraid that Zhang Mengmeng would come back and see Ye Ping. Although Zhang Mengmeng would not say anything, she would definitely feel uncomfortable in her heart and misunderstand him for no reason.    

    

Thus, his heart had been in turmoil. Now that Ye Ping had left, his tensed nerves finally relaxed and he let out a long sigh of relief.    

    

The call was quickly connected.    

    

"Xu, have you had breakfast?" Zhang Mengmeng's concerned voice came from the phone.    

    

"Yes, I have. How about you?" Wu Xu asked eagerly.    

    

"I have also eaten." Zhang Mengmeng replied.    

    

Wu Xu asked anxiously, "Mengmeng, how is your father?"    

    

"Yes, he's better," Zhang Mengmeng answered honestly. "It's just that after waking up early this morning, he sat in the living room on the first floor in a daze and did not speak much..."    

    

"I guess he hasn't gotten rid of Lin Xiaoman's grief and indignation from dying." Wu Xu comforted her. "Your father and Lin Xiaoman have lived together for such a long time. After all, they have developed feelings for each other. It was normal for him to have such a situation when Lin Xiaoman suddenly died. It is understandable. You should stay at home and accompany him more!"    

    

" No way. " Zhang Mengmeng said somewhat helplessly, "With my father's mental state, he can't go to the company to work. There are still a lot of things in the company that I need to help him deal with..."    

    

"Oh, I see," Wu Xu said, shaking his head. "Do you need me to help you?"    

    

"No need." Zhang Mengmeng replied, "You are in charge of handling Rongcheng. Just take care of the project of Ocean Gazing. I will urge you again. I estimate that it will be completed in two days. When the time comes, we'll be able to post the bidding documents online."    

    

"Thank you for your hard work!" Wu Xu said with a heartache.    

    

"It's not hard at all!" Zhang Mengmeng replied, "We have a lot of things to do in the company. I have to go to the company to handle business matters, and I have to go home to take care of my father. I don't think I can go to your place for the next few days..."    

    

"It's fine." "You just need to focus on your work and take care of your father. Just pay more attention to your health," Wu Xu said.    

    

"Thank you," Zhang Mengmeng said gratefully.    

    

"You are welcome." Wu Xu asked worriedly, "I am not by your side. What about your safety?"    

    

Zhang Mengmeng answered honestly, "Don't worry. We have bodyguards in the company. They are good at fighting. They can protect me."    

    

"Okay. If there is anything, call me." Wu Xu said to Zhang Mengmeng, saying goodbye. "I am going to work in Project Department now. You should go to the company. Bye!"    

    

"Bye!"    

    

Zhang Mengmeng answered and hung up the phone.    

    

Wu Xu had just put his phone back into the pocket of his shirt.    

    

Ring, ring, ring!    

    

Suddenly, a pleasant ringtone sounded from his phone.    

    

Wu Xu took out his phone and saw Gu Xiaohui's name on the screen. He felt a little puzzled. "Didn't she not want to see me? Why did she call me again?"
