Super Sweetheart of the CEO Daddy

Chapter 2136

"No." She said firmly.

"Why? There are six rooms, three of which are empty. You can sleep anywhere you want." Now that she was so resolute, Ben couldn't help but ask. "Anyway. I just can't." Bella didn't know why, but she knew subconsciously she could not stay here.

"Did you want to say it will ruin your reputation? Don't worry. There's no one in my house. Nobody will know it." Ben lowered his voice as if he was telling her a secret.

Bella blushed. She certainly knew there were no outsiders, but she simply couldn't accept it.

"Give me a moment." Bella walked into his house with her head down.

Ben's thin lips curled into a smile. He asked her to stay because he wanted to spend more time with her.

Ben was cooking dinner, while Bella was cleaning his house with a cloth.

When he finished cooking dinner, Bella was so tired that her head was covered in sweat. But she was also very relaxed.

Ben handed her a towel when he noticed there was sweat on her forehead. He said, "If you don't want to do the chores, I'll invite a part-time worker."

"It's fine. I'm not tired." Bella shook her head. She liked working off her stress by doing housework.

Ben understood her feelings, so he didn't stop her and let her continue.

Bella ate more rice during dinner. Recently, she became healthier and stronger thanks to his cooking.

However, Bella did not notice her changes. She only knew she wasn't lost anymore.

It was about ten o'clock in a blink of an eye. Bella was pondering whether to find someone to unlock her apartment.

"Alright, don't play on your phone. Go take a shower and rest." Ben saw she holding her phone with a thoughtful expression. He took it away and put it on the table, "Can you play chess?"

Bella nodded, "Yes."

"Great. Come upstairs and let's play chess." Ben looked at her admiringly, "Girls rarely learn this."

"My mother forced me to play piano, zither, chess, and flower arrangement and dancing. As long as the skill makes me more feminine and elegant, she signed me up." Her mother had spent efforts on nurturing her.

"Looks like you're versatile." Ben chuckled.

"I know something about everything, but I'm not a professional." Bella explained.

"Well, your mother probably wanted you to marry a rich man." Ben teased her.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Bella blushed, "She did. She asked me to marry a rich man and help her out of her misery."

"Now that you've met him, why are you so hesitant?" Ben gazed her.

Bella trembled as she turned to look at him.

Ben couldn't help but approach her when he saw her watery eyes. "Don't kiss me. I'm covered in sweat." Bella immediately understood what he wanted to do. She quickly took a few steps back and held him back. "Not now. Didn't you want to play chess? Let's do it first." Ben realized Bella was not stupid, she just pretended

to be stupid.

"I don't care." Ben didn't force her, but he had to tell her what he thought. Bella laughed dryly, "But I do care. You are perfect in my eyes. How can I be your girlfriend if I'm not good enough?"

"You're too good for me." Ben stared at her and said slowly.

Bella mocked, "You're being nice. But I still think your girlfriend should be much better than me."

"We're a perfect match." Ben pushed open the door and entered the lounge. There were tables and chairs for playing chess.

Bella stared at the chessboard. She wondered whether she would be embarrassed if she lost, wouldn't she be embarrassed? If he won, would Ben lose face?

"Don't think too much. Try your best. If you lose, you will be punished." Ben knew what she was thinking when he saw Bella in a daze. He seemed to have guessed what was on her mind at a glance. How could he know her so much?

Bella trembled. How sophisticated he was!

"What punishment?" Bella pouted. She had never been punished for losing. "Wait until you lose." Ben sneered. He was very confident that he would not lose.

Bella froze. Then she had to win.

In the quiet room, Ben lit up the

incense burner. The faint scent was

very soothing. Bella was fully concentrated and her moves were

puzzling, making Ben unable to

figure out her intention. Being in a difficult situation, he looked up and stared at her with a serious expression.

Noticing his gaze, Bella felt a bit embarrassed.

"Who do you usually play chess with?" Ben was surprised by her outstanding skills.

"My father and teachers in the

school." Bella whispered. Since she was little, her mother had taken her to tutorial classes. She didn't have much private space. Her legs went dumb and sore because of dancing. She cried and refused to attend class the next day. But her mother forced her with a whip.

Bella was very versatile, but she kept a low profile at school. She was not a person who liked to be in the limelight.

Ben felt sorry for her. It must have been very hard for to learn so many things at a young age.

"You lost." When Bella made the last move, Ben finally came to his senses only to find he had lost to her. She put on a smile.

Ben was annoyed. He shouldn't have diverted his attention and allowed her to exploit the loophole.

"Alright, I lost. How do you like to punish me?" Ben leaned back lazily against the chair.

Bella was stunned. She could not think of any punishment since she had no experience.

"Forget it. No punishment. Let's have another round." After thinking for a while, Bella refused.

"No. I need to keep my promises. Since the rules have been set, you have to punish me. We need to be honest." Ben deliberately made things difficult for her. Sometimes, Bella was just too kind to hurt others. He had to teach her how to be tougher.

"Alright!" Bella felt that what he said made sense.
