168 Restricted by the Agreement
Xiao Song smiled. “Because of him?”
He was not bad-looking. When he smiled, he gave off a gentle feeling.
“No.” Su Tian was mesmerized by his gentleness and took the initiative to hold his hand.
She looked at him affectionately. “Song, you know that the person I love has always been you.”
“So?”
“I want to be with you. I want to live the life of an ordinary couple with you, not a relationship controlled by that agreement.”
“Ordinary couple?” Xiao Song’s smile widened. He clearly saw through her, but he still asked, “Is this some kind of a trick?”
Su Tian was stunned. “How can that be?” She interlocked her fingers with his. “I’m serious.”
“Are you serious about being my girlfriend?”
“Not only your girlfriend, but also your wife.”
Xiao Song had not heard such a joke in a long time.
He placed his hand on the back of her head and blew a puff of smoke at her face. “Do you think you’re qualified?”
“Wh-what?”
“I have money and status. Why should I be a couple with a piece of trash like you?”
Su Tian’s face turned pale.
Tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. “Don’t you like me anymore?”
“When have I ever liked you?”
“You said before that I was very important.”
Xiao Song’s gaze was cold. “You’re indeed important to me in business, but you’re not indispensable.”
“I don’t believe you!” Su Tian pretended to be heartbroken. “Song, I don’t believe you’ve never liked me.”
“I have never touched you, and you still think I’m in love with you?” His words were implying that she was dirty.
Su Tian felt like she had been thrown into the sun and was roasted by the scorching sun.
She smiled sadly, trying to use the word ‘love’ to get away with it. “But I really love you.”
When Xiao Song heard the doorbell, he went to get dinner.
He placed the steak on the table. “Su Tian, what’s the trick you are playing?”
“I’m not playing any tricks.”
“You’d better not ruin my appetite.” He threw another piece of steak at the foot of the table. “Do you still remember how to eat?”
Su Tian cried as she replied.
She maintained her kneeling posture and moved to the foot of the table. She lay on the ground and used her mouth as a knife and fork. “Song, can I drink water?”
“Is Song how you are supposed to address me?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Xiao.”
Xiao Song gave her a bowl of soup.
He looked at her and cut the steak in front of him. “Meet someone with me tonight.”
Su Tian had a rough idea what would happen tonight, but the fear in her heart made her not dare to resist.
She bit her lip. “How long will it take to end?”
“Are you in a hurry to go back and find him?”
“I’m just asking.”
Xiao Song did not give her an answer.
After eating the steak, he asked Su Tian to crawl into the bathroom to touch up her makeup. When night fell, he brought her to the underground boxing arena in the city center.
The dimly lit arena was extremely lively.
The audience who came to watch the boxing competition sat on all sides of the boxing ring, cheering for the boxers they liked.
“Brother Dao, beat him up!” Fang Yanwen, who was sitting at the table behind the man with the crew cut, shouted at the top of her lungs.
Ever since she was expelled from school, she had been hanging out with girls outside the school and got to know many powerful people.
Among them was Brother Dao in the boxing ring.
The reason she fell in love with Brother Dao was very simple. If she couldn’t get the best man, she wanted the most badass man she could find.
“Sister Wen.” Her best friend smiled and nudged her. “Brother Dao is looking at you!”
“I know.” Fang Yanwen caught the affection in his eyes and continued to shout with a red face.
The high-pitched cheers made the crew-cut man, who was waiting for his friends, bring his two lackeys to the VIP viewing room.
“Boss, they’re here.” A lackey who came in with wine and braised food reported to him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Song walked into the VIP viewing room with the obedient Su Tian.
“Peng.” He smiled and shook hands with Tian Peng. “How have you been?”
“Not bad.” Tian Peng had known him for many years, so they were more than just ordinary friends.
He placed a hand on his shoulder and casually lit a cigarette for him. “Are you going to leave anytime soon after coming back this time?”
“I’m not leaving.”
“Then what about your business overseas?”
“Someone will take care of it for me.” Xiao Song had two large nightclubs in Spain, and business was booming.
He clinked glasses with Tian Peng. “I plan to go back every six months.”
“Is the person you found reliable?”
“Very reliable.”
Tian Peng was relieved to hear that.
He drank half a glass of wine and his gaze landed on the woman on Xiao Song’s right. “Your girlfriend?”
“She’s here to accompany you.” Xiao Song turned to look at Su Tian, the message was obvious.
This was not the first time something like this had happened.
Su Tian, who had signed an agreement for money and interest, naturally knew how to fulfill her obligations.
Just like when she was in Spain, she played the role she was given and walked over shyly with a glass of wine.
“Brother Peng, let me toast you.” Many men could not refuse a woman like her who looked innocent.
Tian Peng happened to like this type.
He knew very well that Su Tian was not a decent woman. After clinking glasses with her, he put his arm around her waist.
“Your waist is quite thin.” His teasing made Su Tian blush even more. She was too embarrassed to look up.
She sat in his arms as intimately as a lover. “Brother Peng, you haven’t drunk yet.”
“You want me to drink it so badly?”
“I drank it all.”
“Then feed me?” Tian Peng enjoyed the taste of being fed wine by a beauty and looked at Xiao Song in satisfaction.
Xiao Song said bluntly, “She’s yours tonight.”
“Only tonight?”
“You can keep her a few more days if you want.”
“Forget it.” Tian Peng was just joking. After all, it was easy for him to lose his interest after trying something once.
Hearing that, Su Tian heaved a sigh of relief.
She fed Tian Peng a piece of apple from the fruit plate and looked at him pitifully. “Brother Peng, stop tickling me.”
Tian Peng did not retract his hand that was rubbing her waist.
“Shut up.” He swallowed the apple and started chatting with Xiao Song. “Have you thought of opening a branch in Lin City?”
“I’m already preparing for it.”
“What are you short of at the moment?”
“I’m short-staffed.” Xiao Song came to see him partly for matters related to the branch. “I don’t have many people in Lin City I can use.”
“Leave this to me.” Tian Peng had been in Lin City for a very long time and did not lack people.
Xiao Song raised his glass. “Thank you.” He glanced at the boxing ring through the transparent glass. “Do you have matches every day?”
“Yes.” Tian Peng leaned back and followed his gaze. “There are more matches this weekend than usual.”
“Can I place a bet?”
“Of course.”
Xiao Song looked at the boxers warming up in the boxing ring.
He bet a million on instinct. When the two boxers both threw a punch, he asked Tian Peng, “What do you think of the one on the right?”
