A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 334 So Dark That It Was Suffocating

"Why would you think so?" Leila was shocked as she shook her head. "This wasn't what I meant, I didn't mean this."

But Vincent suddenly leaned towards her and his entire weight landed on her. Leila was startled and she asked nervously, "What, what's wrong with you?"

He hugged her suddenly and replied viciously by her ear, "You better be obedient and follow me on vacation, or else I'll throw you down!"

The mighty tone accompanied with the sweet threat, made Leila could not help but smile. He leaned his head against her shoulder, spreading his arms and circling her tiny waist. His breath was so close that it made her ticklish.

Leila smelt his unique scent and the scent of the body wash she used, mixing with the scent of tobacco on his body. She suddenly felt pleasant, feeling that she and him seemed to be a lot closer.

"Alright, drive!" She pushed him away lightly, stuttering with some embarrassment. Her beautiful face blushed as she said lightly, "If you delay again, god knows when we'll arrive!"

His nose rubbed against her neck, his lips touching her skin as he mumbled, "Don't be a wet blanket either!"

Leila smiled, "Alright, I won't be a wet blanket. Happy?"

"That would be best!" Vincent finally sat up straight and started the car.

Leila could not help but smile, her soft face showed a little embarrassment. She was so pure and beautiful and it made him have all kinds of thoughts. He smiled like a rascal, "Are you afraid of going with me because you're scared that I'll eat you?"

"Mr White..." She gave a low gasp, turning her face towards the window in embarrassment.

"Foolish woman!" His low laughter suddenly sounded, and the smile on Vincent's face eventually widened.

In City R.

At HJ Hotel.

Vincent parked the car at HJ Hotel first, intending to bring Leila shopping after they ate, then they would visit the farm at City R when they were done. There was a farm in the hills here, it had a nice ecosystem and was a fine place for recreational camping.

They have just got off the car and were just about to enter HJ Hotel, when a few people exited the elevator.

It was an exquisite woman, her pair of slightly slanted eyes looked extremely attractive, and further showed how seductive she was.

Leila's gaze was instantly attracted by that woman, she looked familiar. Right! It was the famous beautiful host of City R, Demi. She was the host at the famous entertainment channel of City R, the new favourite in fashion, and vigorously supported by the upper class. Leila had seen her on television.

She was just marvelling that she actually saw the beautiful host in person, when the beauty screamed suddenly. "Vincent! You're here in City R?"

Vincent froze and was yet to be able to react when Demi pounced over. She hugged Vincent by the neck directly, and shouted in an unladylike manner with an unusual excitement, "Long time no see, Vincent! I've missed you!"

Leila watched as Demi pounced over and into Vincent's arms, while she looked silly. She suddenly felt a tinge of jealousy, a very uncomfortable feeling.

Immediately, Vincent's expression became darker and darker, his sharp, dark pupils filled with gloom. He avoided stealthily and smiled lightly, but there was no joy at all in his eyes. "Oh, Demi. What a coincidence to meet you here!"

"Vincent!" Being avoided by Vincent stealthily made Demi a little awkward. Yet she was not annoyed and continued to clap her hands together, saying easily, "Yes, we were just having our meal at the 23th floor are you here on inspection work?"

Because her gaze was lowered, Leila did not see Vincent's act of avoiding on instinct, and so her expression still changed. Her heart felt as if it was pricked by someone, painful but she was unable to scream. Leila retreated on instinct, wanting to further the distance between she and Vincent secretly. Yet she did not expect that he seemed to have eyes on his back, as he pulled on her and pulled her to his side mightily. His large hand even hooked on her tiny waist dominantly, showing an intimate and ambiguous position.

Leila was shocked as she raised her eyes, yet she saw that Vincent was not looking at her but was talking to Demi, "No, I'm on vacation!"

Noticing his dominant stature, Demi's gaze landed on Leila's face and a bit of jealousy flashed quickly through her eyes. Yet she smiled, "I see! On vacation in fact? When have you been this free? But you should indeed relax moderately."

She did not speak to Leila either as she turned to Vincent once more and winked, saying on her own, "Vincent, if you're free at night remember to come find me. I'm still staying at that apartment from before, you know which door, my door will always be open for you!"

Demi seemed to have left these words intentionally, as she laughed and turned to leave.

Vincent frowned slightly, that wretched woman, she did it on purpose!

Leila heard the last sentence and felt jealous, but she said lightly, "Let go of me, Mr White!" She began to distance from him again.

Vincent frowned and hooked on her waist, walking towards the elevator, "Are you jealous?" Leila immediately blushed, "No way!"

"Stubborn! Would it kill you to admit that you're jealous?" He shouted at her in displease.

Leila lowered her head quickly, not allowing anyone to see her expression. She felt a little defeated, and a bit of awkwardness being caught in the act.

They entered the VIP elevator directly and pressed on the 20th floor, waiting for the elevator to rise.

There was only the two of them in the elevator, Leila was a little reserved. The strong, large hands let go of her waist and moved to hold her soft hand. His low voice showed his might, "She did it on purpose, it's not what you think!"

"What?" Leila was absent minded and did not manage to react for a moment.

He frowned, she watched as his pupils again became so dark that it was suffocating. His dark hair covering his eyes, which shone brightly. Leila stunned, her heart fluttered and she suddenly understood something once more. "Oh, are you saying that she telling you to find her at night was said by her on purpose?"

He rolled his eyes at her, his expression awkward as he turned his face over, looking at the lights in the elevator indicating the floors flickering non-stop. "You seem to not trust me a lot!"

Vincent recalled when she actually wanted to avoid him just now and even wanted to retreat without a trace, seeming like she wanted to distance herself from him. His mood became dark immediately.

Leila seemed to heave a sigh of relief as she put a smile on her face, feeling embarrassed, "But suddenly a woman came by so passionately, talking so ambiguously and was so intimate with you. Anyone else would have thought of something! Further, you're liked by women and looked like such a playboy, and is always involved in scandals with women. Who knew if it was real or fake..." She suddenly widened her eyes, seeing that his lips curled up, laughing lightly.

Why was he like this? His expressions changed rapidly, the last moment it was still dark and gloomy, and the next moment it was pleasant again. "Am I really liked by women?" Leila stunned and did not know what to reply for a moment.

He was actually laughing for this matter, he was so narcistic. She took a look at him but saw that he was staring at her, his gaze burning. She bit her lip on instinct and said quietly, "Yes, if you don't believe so you can stand in the streets and shout, asking if anyone would be willing to marry you. If you only asked, more than half of the women in City R would be fighting to marry you!"

"Then why would you marry me? Don't tell me that you did so for Macey's video!"

"I, I did it for the video!" Leila was a little flustered and avoided his gaze.

Vincent's tall stature suddenly moved as he bent down looking up, matching her lowered gaze.

Leila did not manage to conceal and was startled instantly, "What are you doing?"

"I'm checking if you're being uneasy!" The corner of Vincent's lips curled into an unreadable expression.

"Why, why would I be uneasy?" Leila widened her eyes, trying to stable her gaze. She should not look away simply or she would really be exposed as being uneasy.

Vincent stood up straight, staring at her for a while and laughed again.

He was being weird, although he looked handsome when he laughed, but there was no need for him to keep laughing. His evidently handsome face was mesmerising to the person looking.

The elevator arrived at the 20th floor, Leila followed him and found that he went to the presidential suite. "Didn't you say that we're going to eat? Why come to the suite? We could have eaten at the restaurant!" "Can't we eat in the suite?" He raised an eyebrow, obviously displeased. "I just prefer to eat in the suite, if you're willing to be a monkey you can just go down to eat at the restaurant, with everyone watching!" So that was the case, she had thought...

It seemed that she had overthought, and her face could not help but reddened.

The two of them ate in the presidential suite. Leila was worried if he would be tired after driving for several hours and wanted him to rest, but he insisted on bringing her to shop. So the two of them went to the mall again, this could be considered as the first time they went to the mall together.

Vincent was dressed in a slim cut suit, the pitch black similar to his black hair, paired with a silver-grey shirt which shone a golden hue under the sunlight. At three o'clock in the afternoon, he drove her to the busiest mall. Perhaps it was due to the fact that there were more people shopping at this hour, he furrowed his brows, seeming as if he did not like to go to malls.

Leila naturally sensed his mood, "Perhaps we shouldn't go shopping."

"Why not?" Vincent raised an eyebrow, "Why can't we if others could go shopping?"

"You seemed tired!" She replied.

"I'll rest at night, let's go to buy a tent first! I want to sleep in the mountains tonight!" He said to himself.

"Will there be wolves?" Leila asked quietly. Although she was curious about camping, but would it be too bold to sleep in the mountains?

Vincent blinked and was a little impressed with how Leila thought, "Aren't you too confident about the ecosystem? Animals like wolves are only in zoos, or primitive forests. Although City R had an alright ecosystem, but there wouldn't be wolves!"

Her face reddened again as Leila felt a little embarrassed. The two walked towards the open-air elevator. At this moment, a few people who were strolling walked over. As they were about to get close to Leila's body which of course was not done with intention, Vincent reached his large hand and protected her in his arms. He frowned as he said quietly in her ear, "Don't you know how to avoid people? Some men just like to take advantage of you women!"

Leila was speechless, who was really the one taking advantage of her?

It was the first time that the two went shopping hand in hand like this. For a moment, Leila was really not used to it, feeling as if her limbs no longer belonged to her. If it was not for him holding her hand, she thought she must have fainted. But as he held her hand, she felt even dizzier.

The two of them took the open-air elevator and got to the fourth floor, the floor specialising in sports products.

It was no longer crowded once at the fourth floor, Leila followed him and did not dare to say anything more. Her heart felt soft, as if a stream had just flowed though it. So this was how it felt to not be in an argument, and further he was talking and laughing.

She stared at the man beside her absent minded, he was looking for his target. The side of his face was chiselled and elegant, his handsome brows scrunched. He seemed to have found the thing he wanted, as he pulled on Leila's hand and walked towards there.

The gentleness that Vincent showed today was never before seen. He was not irritable and not furious, but was soft as water. Although he sometimes still showed his mighty side, but it was the kind that was irresistible to her, and was even shocking. Leila did not know what had happened to him, as if he was suddenly a different person, and was much better towards her!

However, how long can this gentleness last? Would it be gone instantly? She really did not have the answer in her heart.

Coming to the counter for tents, once the sales girl saw Vincent she seemed to be extraordinarily excited. Leila gave a low sigh in secret, watching as the sales girl looking at Vincent with a lighted gaze. Well, for such a handsome man standing here being the centre attention, his strong aura instantly attracted others' gazes. He was indeed a handsome man with a personality.

"Welcome sir, glad to be of service!" A few sales girls said simultaneously.

Leila stunned, why was no one welcoming her? She was one of the customers as well. Further, she had come together with Vincent, this treatment was quite bad. A sales girl already came forward looking like a suck up, her gaze only on Vincent, like she had automatically ignored Leila. "Sir, are you looking to buy a tent?"

"Yes!" The cold words and a sharp look stopped the sales girl's footsteps, and Vincent dodged to one side. He did not like women to get too close with him.

Vincent's eyes swept over, a silvery grey two-person camping tent looks quite pretty. Vincent only had eyes for this one. The colour was not flashy, it was low-key and the model was tasteful and uncomplicated.

"What about this?" he asked Leila.

Leila liked that one too, out of the myriad of multi-coloured tents, this was the plainest one. It was just that Leila was not expecting that he would ask for her opinion, and she immediately said, "I like this one a lot! This one looks the easiest and it's not flashy!"

"Alright, this one then, go get a new one!" Vincent told the sales girl. "Hurry up!"

He did not ponder much, and directly asked for the product once he chose it. Vincent threw his card to the sales girl.

The gazes of other sales girls kept sweeping over Vincent's face with or without intention. Leila saw it clearly and she sighed silently, he was too handsome and too high-key. Mr White was the most garish out of the tents, how she hoped that he was that non-flashy silver tent.

After Vincent received his receipt, he pulled her tiny hand with his other hand clutching the tent, pulling her towards the sports clothings counter. Chaos broke out behind their backs.

"Wow! What a classic man, buying a tent to go on a rendezvous?"

"Yes, I would like to go on a rendezvous with that exquisite man too, it doesn't matter even if I'll be swallowed whole!"

"Pervert!"

"Aren't you all perverts? Don't you all think like that too?"

They laughed.

Leila shrugged and secretly looked at Vincent, his brows were furrowed deeply. It looked like he had heard the discussion between the fawning women as well.

He then brought her to the sports clothing counter, "Miss, I'll have one set of this couple's sports clothing in this design, and one set for this kind. Just follow the standard size for our height!" "Alright! Please hold on, sir!"

He said he wanted to buy two sets of couple's sports clothing, Leila's face was reddened, he was actually buying couple's sports clothing with her.

Her heart instantly sped up, but when she took over the sports clothing and saw the price on the tag she immediately shook her head. She pulled on Vincent's sleeve and said quietly, "Mr White, it's so expensive here!"
