Miyamoto frowned slightly and there was a touch of appreciation for Leila flashing in his eyes.
“But if you want to change your mind to fall in love with another woman, I can actually introduce my good friend to you! Maybe it will be an easier way for you!” Just as Leila finished talking and looked back at Pippa. “Pippa, I hope you won’t be regretful when Miyamoto falls in love with someone else. However, Vincent, this man, he is not yours. He belongs to me. Unless I leave him, otherwise you will never get him. Oh no! I am telling you now, even if I don't want him, you won't be able to be with him because I feel ashamed to leave him to the kind of successor like you!”
Vincent was startled by Leila’s words and it followed by a smile. This little liar looked like a tigress when she roared at Pippa and she didn’t even give a chance for Pippa to strike back.
“Not going?” Seeing that Vincent was not leaving, Leila raised her eyebrows.
“Let's go! Little liar, I didn't expect you to have such a valiant personality!” Vincent gave Leila a smile back. It was the first time he found out that she was a person of principle after knowing her for such a long time.
She will only let her sister, mother, father, and husband to go in front of her but not others! After recalling Leila’s words, Vincent shook his head helplessly and laughed. Then, he walked out with his hand on her shoulders.
Miyamoto didn't say a word from the beginning until the end. He remained silent and just nodded slightly even when his gaze was intersected with Vincent’s. Then, Vincent and Leila left the place.
Leila sighed deeply after they walked out of the superior ward area.
Vincent's handsome face showed a smile when he heard Leila’s sigh. He spoke in her ear intimately, “I didn't expect you to be so valiant. I always thought that you were a little sheep!”
“Are your feeling sorry for her?” Leila raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
“Do you feel bad for Pippa? Vincent blinked and nodded. “Well, I feel a little distressed!”
Leila flattened her mouth and snorted. “You can go to find her now. Didn't she confess to you? Both of you can stay together and live happily from now on!”
“Are you getting jealous?”
“Who is getting jealous?” She wouldn't admit it. “I am disdain to get jealous on that kind of woman!”
“She is just like my sister, and that's all!” Vincent explained.
Leila took a glance at him, she understood what he meant and so she whispered, “If no one talked to her in a deeper level, I'm afraid that she will commit suicide for the next time!”
“You don't have to explain to me. Just do whatever you want in the future!” Vincent didn't get angry due to her words about Pippa.
Leila was frozen for a while. Then, she turned to look at him suspiciously and said softly, “Thank you.”
Vincent laughed in his low deep voice, “I just didn't expect you to show off out of the blue!”
Leila looked at him who was smiling gently and put his long arms around her shoulders. The strong breath of a man drifted away from his nose, forming an atmosphere of envelopment, Leila was wrapped tightly in it with nowhere to escape. Her heart skipped a beat.
When they walked out of the hospital, Leila looked up at the blue sky with her clear eyes.
It was comfortable to stay in the sun. She would go to work after her graduation. It was still not the time of police recruitment so she could only go to the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office temporarily, starting tomorrow.
Vincent had no idea of her thought, his pupils constricted and he asked in a deep voice, “What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing!” Leila shook her head and exhaled.
Vincent raised his eyebrows and said, “Let’s go!”
He reached out and grabbed her wrist. He led her towards the car.
After getting in the car, Leila was stunned for a moment. Last night, she sat in the front passenger seat and she was sitting in the same place too today. By then, she was very happy to find out that the seat cover had been changed when she came this morning.
The car was started. Vincent’s hand holding the steering wheel was slender and elegant.
“Where are we going?” Leila asked.
Vincent smiled and answered her question, “We are going to the company now and then go on a date after getting done of my work!”
What?
“I'm not going!” Leila replied instinctively, and she didn’t accept his plan. “Please send me to my school!”
“Why are you not going?” Vincent raised his eyebrows and the car stopped suddenly.
Leila was startled by him, “I won't go to your company or go on a date with you!”
“Why?” His handsome face which approached her in an instant looked so evil, she frowned subconsciously and bit her lip. He frowned when he saw her subtle movement. “You are not willing to go to my company with me?”
“I'm not going.” She rejected him firmly with her trembling voice.
His raised his eyebrows and squinted his eyes. He seemed to turn into a bad mood and it was all shown in his shouting tone, “Leila!”
“I'm going to school. I still have to go through the formalities.” Leila said softly.
“I'll accompany you to go through the formalities before we go to my company!” Vincent spoke again.
“I'll go by myself! I'm not going to your company!” She sat in the car, turned her head, looked out through the car window and refused to look at him. At that particular moment, she was confused about the feelings she had.
He stared at her in blank and kept silent.
After a long time, the car was still not moving. She turned to look at him and met his deep eyes. She got agitated for a moment and his hand stretched out to circle her chair at her back, “Are you going to be on the outs again?”
“I am not!” Leila blushed and she tried to push him away.
Her reaction made Vincent’s action become more violent, and the tip of his tongue was exploring the sweet fragrance in her mouth which seduced her little tongue to dance with him.
Vincent let go of Leila abruptly when he felt the familiar tightness from his body. He was afraid that if he continued to kiss her, he would not be able to hold it and had sex with her in the car.
When Leila’s lips regained freedom, she gasped for the fresh air. A flush of blush gradually spread on her face and she whispered, “Don't kiss me again—”
She found that she could not control her body.
“Haha…” A loud and merry sound of laughter flew in her ears. Vincent laugh merrily. “Little liar, you are my only one, but should you let me be your only one too?”
She was shocked and stunned, “What did you say?”
“I'll give you everything you want!” He threw out such a brief sentence in his low deep voice.
Leila’s mind was struck with a bang and she stared at him with her widened eyes, “Are you serious?”
“Leila, are you in love with me?”
“No, I didn't!” She felt embarrassed of being seen through by him.
“Little liar, isn't it normal to fall in love with me?!” Vincent’s slender fingers held the steering wheel and one of his hands patted the steering wheel lightly. He lazily looked at her who was in shock and astonishment, “Is it that difficult to admit?”
She felt a little embarrassed under his sharp gaze so she could only shout in panic, “I didn't fall in love with you!”
She turned her head in agitation and looked out of the car window. She refused to look into his eyes as his eyes were so sharp which would let her sink into it easily, “Start your car and drive!”
“We are heading to my company~!” He took the opportunity to say.
“I—”
“If not it won't be started!”
“Alright!” Finally, she compromised.
The moment that Leila found out that she had agreed to his plan was after she entered the exclusive lift of the White Group and there were only two of them in the lift. Then, she regained her consciousness and realized that she had come to the company with him.
Vincent stared at her with his bright black eyes as if he could look through her and his thin lips was pressed slightly.
He was thinking of what expression would be if the little liar knew that he had read her diary but it seemed like she was in fear now.
“Don't look at me like this oftentimes!” Leila yelled at him in a low voice. She was a little dazed, frightened and nervous when she saw her panic expression reflected on the walls of the lift. She was really scared of staying alone together with him and his breath seemed to be everywhere as they were in such a small space.
