Chapter 9
Keh was shocked. He quickly took out the medical kit and used a cotton swab stained with alcohol
to help Arabe treat the wound, "Remember what happened. This is the consequence of making me
repeat my words for the third time."
Arabe was looking at his sharp jawline, "The consequence that Mr. Lucero is referring to is domestic
violence?"
Keh helped Arabe to put on a band-aid. There was a light smile on his cold and thin lips,
"Knowing that I would be abusive, you still dared toe in? You''re pretty courageous."
Arabe looked at Keh with her beautiful eyes, "Mr. Lucero, others are afraid of you, but I''m not."
Keh''s slender fingers halted. He looked at Arabe''s face, which seemed a little pity because of
the band-aid, "Go out. Just leave me alone."
After that, Keh helped Arabe to stand up.
Arabe quickly stretched her slender and fair arms to straightforwardly hug Keh''s strong waist.
Keh''s tall and sturdy body instantly went stiffened as Arabe hugged him. Arabe''s body was
soft as though she was boneless. Her face was pressing against his firm chest, like a soft and docile
kitty clinging to him.
Again, Keh could smell Arabe''s pleasant body fragrance. The scent was slowly alluring his mind.
Arabe whispered in his arms, "Mr. Lucero, don''t be alone. You can have apanion. Let me
apany you."
Keh''s bulging blue veins calmed down slowly. The atrocious expression was also disappearing. He
raised his arms and hugged Arabe.
Keh rubbed his handsome face against Arabe''s soft hair. Arabe''s body fragrance made
Keh feel... déjà vu.
Probably because Arabe had just eaten strawberry jam, she was stained with the fruity aroma of the
dessert.
Arabe hugged Keh quietly for a while. Then, she moved her hands up across his strong waist
and caressed his shoulder des, "If you''re still feeling ufortable, we can try biting."
Proper emotional catharsis was necessary.
"Biting you? Are you not afraid of pain?"
"Stop dreaming. What I''m saying is..."
Arabe tiptoed and bit on Keh''s sturdy shoulder.
The way she bit was so fast and fierce that it was impossible for Keh to defend. Blood quickly
seeped out of Keh''s white shirt.
She bit him until bleeding.
Almost biting off a piece of his flesh.
Keh''s muscles turned tense because of the sudden pain. He took a few steps backward while
hugging Arabe in his arms. Arabe''s lower leg tripped on the sofa edges, causing them to fall on the
soft couch.
"Mrs. Lucero, are you retaliating?" Keh was pressing Arabe with his body. The immense pain
had helped him slowly relieve his emotions and restored some rity in his mind.
Arabe raised her delicately arched eyebrow, "Just now, you pushed me. Now, I bite you. It''s fair."
Arabe wanted to get up, but Keh pressed her shoulders and pushed her back to the sofa.
Their current posture was somewhat ambiguous.
Arabe looked into Keh''s eyes. There seemed to be mes jumping at the bottom of his eyes. He
was staring at her like his delicious prey.
"Mr. Lucero, what are you doing?"
"You smell nice. You haven''t told me what perfume you''re using sincest time?"
Arabe smiled and joked, "Mr. Lucero, I''ve told you that I''m not using perfume. Your kept asking me
about this, so I think that your are trying to hit on me. Perhaps... you''re nning to develop an intimate
rtionship with me?"
Keh always knew that Arabe''s eyes were beautiful. Especially now, when arguing with him, her
eyes looked energetic and gorgeous. Keh closed his eyes and gently dropped a kiss by pressing
his thin lips onto the band-aid on her forehead, "Does it hurt? I''m sorry for what happened earlier. I''m
sorry..."
For having such a domineering man saying "I''m sorry" to her with his low and hoarse voice, Arabe
felt numb.
This man!
"We''re even already. So, it doesn''t matter. Mr. Lucero, please let go of me." Arabe pressed her hands
against Keh''s chest, trying to push him away.
However, Keh didn''t move. He even reached out and held Arabe''s face.
His slender fingers ran across her cheeks and went through her dark hair. He moved his thin lips down
from Arabe''s forehead...
Arabe''s thick eyshes were trembling. She didn''t dare to move. "What... What is he nning to
do?" she thought.
As Keh slowly approached Arabe, their breaths became entangled.
When Keh got closer and closer, Arabe took out a silver needle and quickly pierced it into
Keh''s acupuncture point.
Keh closed his eyes and fell to her side.
While looking at the bright crystal chandelier on the ceiling, Arabe closed her eyes hard. Even a fool
knew what Keh was nning to do earlier... kiss her.
Earlier, he didn''t answer when she asked whether he wanted to develop an intimate rtionship.
However, he seemed to have proven something through his actions.
Arabe quickly opened her eyes. "No!" she thought.
No matter what he meant, their rtionship was nothing more than an agreement. She had a lot of

things to do and couldn''t be enchanted by him.
Arabe wanted to get up, but she was held by a strong arm suddenly. The arm was wrapping around
her shoulders.
Arabe raised her head. Keh wasn''t awake.
He was asleep, but he was unwilling to let Arabe leave even in his dream.
Arabe tried to break free from him, but his arms were strong and powerful. As she was afraid of
waking him up and wasting the effort that she made, Arabe could only lie back down.
The sofa in the study room wasn''trge. It was a little crowded for two people to sleep together.
Arabe could only lie sideways to prevent upying more space.
After lying down for a while, Arabe heard a melodious ringtone. She had received a call.
Arabe quickly grabbed her phone. At first, she wasn''t nning on answering the call. However, it was
a call from Seth.
It was her father.
Arabe was lying sideways in Keh''s arms. She answered the call and said with a low voice,
"Hello, father."
Seth''s scolding came quickly, "Be, what exactly happened today? Mr. Weber had originally promised
to inject capital into the Snyder Medical Group, but I heard you had offended him. Mr. Weber said that
he would inject the funds, but only with the condition of you apologizing to him. Otherwise, nothing''s
going to happen."
"Father, did Caitlin not tell you what happened today? If I say that this investment was exchanged with
your daughter''s body, would you still want it?" Arabe asked back.
In the Snyder family, when Caitlin heard Arabe''s words, she quickly responded, "Seth, yes, it''s true
that I want to send Be to Mr. Weber''s bed today. However, the Snyder Medical Group is now
suffering from capital chain shortages and is in need of capital injections. Be is the daughter of the
Synder family. She should absolutely do something to help the family get through the difficulty."
Arabe sneered, "Caitlin, you have two daughters. In addition to Leia, there is also the eldest
daughter, Stephany. We''re all the daughters of the Snyder family. Why didn''t you let them do it?"
Mentioning Stephany, Caitlin couldn''t help but feel proud and pleased.
The Snyders was a schrly family that specialized in medicine for years. Stephany was talented in
medicine since she was young. She was the most valued and loved child by Seth.
Stephany had also inherited Caitlin''s beauty. She was beautiful and sweet and was honored as the first
socialite of Hardgrad. A beautiful and talented woman. Whoever saw Caitlin would praise her for giving
birth to an excellent daughter.
This was also the main reason why Caitlin was favored by the Snyder family over the past few years.
When they were young, Arabe and Stephany were besties. At that time, Arabe was brilliant and
had surpassed Stephany in various aspects. However, Arabe had been left in the countryside for
nearly ten years and was raised poorly. Caitlin thought Arabe was no longerpetent to be
"Seth, how can Be say such a thing? How can she humiliate our Stephany?"
Sure enough, Seth was also very displeased. He said in a deep voice, "Be, One Night Bar. Come
and meet Mr. Weber tomorrow night on time!"
