Chapter 9

Holden's pupils constricted. "Remember now, this is the penalty of letting me talk the third time," he said as he swiftly got out the medical box and treated her wounds with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.

"Domestic violence, Mr. Lu?" Elena said, her gaze falling on his firm jaw.

"You dare to come in if you know I'm about to unleash domestic violence," Holden said as he assisted her in applying bandages. “Are you really that brave?”

"Mr. Lu, people are frightened of you, but I am not afraid of you," Elena said with a lovely smile.

"Go out and leave me alone," Holden said, his slender fingers softly pausing as he stared at her pathetic little face due to the band-aid.

Holden assisted Elena in getting up after speaking.

Elena reached out with her little white hand and grabbed his beautiful waist tightly.

Holden's rigid body tensed even more as soon as the girl hugged him. Her body was as soft as a boneless kitten, and her little face was nestled against his muscular chest like a submissive little cat.

Holden inhaled her lovely body aroma once again, which calmed his anxieties.

“Mr. Lu, don't be alone, let me accompany you,” Elena murmured in his arms at this point.

Holden's awful blue veins faded away, and the terrifying darkness beneath his eyes faded as well. He hugged her with his hand outstretched.

The fragrance of her body made him feel... familiar as he rubbed his gorgeous face in her silky hair.

Perhaps she was still tainted with the sweet milky fragrance of dessert since she had just eaten strawberry jam.

Elena embraced him softly for a time, then slid her little hand up his exquisite waist, caressing the rigid back's open shoulder blades. "If you're still not comfortable, bite." Don't be afraid to give it a go."

Emotional venting must be done correctly.

“Did you bite you? "Do you have a fear of pain?"

"I'm talking about thinking wonderfully..."

Elena leaned very close to his wide shoulder, tiptoeing.

Unsuspectingly, she bit him hard and fast, and blood rapidly pours from his white shirt.

She bit him so hard that he bled.

I was on the verge of biting him off a chunk of flesh.

Holden's muscles tensed as a result of the unexpected discomfort. He took a few steps back while holding the girl in his arms. Elena's leg brushed up against the sofa's edge. The two of them rolled into the soft in the blink of an eye.

"Are you seeking vengeance, Mrs. Lu?" Holden pulled himself into her, his narrow eyes gradually dissipating from the haze, and he regained some clarity.

"You pushed me just now, and now I bite you, do you think we're even?" Elena said, her delicate swordy brows arched.

Elena tried to stand up, but Holden put his hand against her sparkling shoulder and forced her against the wall.

The two people's current stance is a little unclear.

Elena smashed into his eyes, causing two crimson flames to leap from beneath his eyes and stare at her as if she were a tasty prey.

"What are you doing, Mr. Lu?"

"You're extremely fragrant; have you informed me what type of perfume you used the previous time?"

"Mr. Lu, I said I didn't use perfume," Elena remarked playfully. You've been engrossed in this question for a long time, and I have to believe you're speaking to me?"

Holden has always thought her eyes were stunning, and he thinks they are even more so now that she is competing with him. He's really quick. "Does it hurt?" he asks, closing his gorgeous eyes and placing his tiny lips on the bandage on her forehead. Is it right now? "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Elena's scalp became cold as he heard such a powerful and dominant guy say, "I'm sorry," in a low mumbling voice.

This nefarious individual!

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Lu, we're tied, so let me go first." Elena reached for his chest with her hand, attempting to push him away.

Holden, on the other hand, did not move, reaching out his hand and taking her little face in his.

His small lips went down from her forehead, and his thin fingers slid down her cheeks into her black hair.

Elena's fan-like hair shook, and he was terrified to move...

So, what exactly does he want to do?

The two people's breaths got intertwined as he approached gently.

Elena punctured his acupuncture point with a tiny silver needle as he approached, quickly and neatly.

Holden knelt by her side and closed his eyes.

Elena clenched her eyes tightly as she gazed at the brilliant crystal chandelier over her head. The fool had just realized that he wanted to... k!ss her.

He didn't respond when she asked whether he wanted to pick her up, but his actions appeared to imply something.

Elena instantly opened her eyes and said, "No way!"

Whatever he means, she and him are merely in a peace agreement relationship, and she has a lot on her plate right now and can't be distracted by him.

Elena tried to stand up, but she was stopped by a muscular arm clamped over her shoulders.

Elena raised her eyes, but Holden was still sleeping.

He was sound asleep, but she was not permitted to leave him alone.

Elena wanted to get rid of him, but his fingers were powerful, and she was frightened she wouldn't be able to wake him up, so she had no choice but to lie down.

The study sofa was small, and the two persons sleeping together were a little cramped. Elena was only able to stay sideways without taking up any space.

A series of melodic cell phone bells rang after I had been sleeping down for a time.

Elena reached for the phone immediately. She didn't want to answer, but Zander was the one who had called.

It's her father on the other end of the line.

Elena was sleeping on her side in Holden's arms when she received the call and hit the key. "Hey, Dad," she murmured in hushed tones.

"Elena, what is going on today?" Zander said, his voice stern. Mr. Wang had originally pledged to put money towards Xia's medical care, but I heard you insulted him. Mr. Wang has already taken the floor. But you must apologize to Mr. Wang, or else all will be for naught."

"Dad, Yuna didn't tell you about what occurred today?" Do you have to do that if I told you that the capital infusion would only come if your daughter slept with him?” Elena responded with a question.

When Yuna heard Elena mention this, she swiftly said, "Zander, yes, I was planning to send Elena to Wang's bed today, but Xia's medical treatment now has a short chain of money and urgently need cash infusion." Elena is the Xia family's daughter, therefore she should have done something.”

"Auntie, you have two daughters," Elena hissed. You have an older daughter, Jasmine, in addition to Yoselin. Everyone in the Xia family is a daughter. Why don't you give them a chance to contribute?"

Yuna felt arrogant and prideful as she spoke of Jasmine.

The Xia family is both academic and medical in nature. Zander admires and respects Jasmine, who has had a medical gift since she was a youngster.

Jasmine had inherited her beauty once more. She had a gentle and charming demeanor. She was praised as Darenvil's first lady, a beauty and a talented woman. Everyone who saw Yuna congratulated her on having such a wonderful daughter.

This is also the main reason Yuna has been a part of the Xia family for so long.

Elena and Jasmine were my closest pals when I was younger. Elena was quite intelligent at the time. Elena was a force to be reckoned with in every way. Elena, on the other hand, was exiled to the countryside for over 10 years. What's the sense of talking over her daughter when she was abandoned?

"Zander, take a look at what Elena said; how can she degrade our girl in this way?"

Zander was clearly disturbed as well, as he stated gravely,"

“Elena, 1949 bar, you have to visit Mr. Wang one time tomorrow night!” Zander, who was clearly disturbed, stated gravely.
