A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 316 You Dare To Kick Me?

Arthur’s eyes was filled with an infinite sympathy. “Little pity, it seems that you are really foolish to talk about yourself in this way. Who bullied you?”

“…”

“Can’t speak to others?” Arthur felt that things were going tricky as Leila’s face had depression written all over her face.

“Nothing!” She gave a feeble shrugging.

“Let me tell you, Lexi, you have to know that why Bruce Lee can become a master of generation, it is due to his amazing strength and speed. If you practise strength, it will definitely not work as your body is too skinny. So you can only win with the speed. As to kick the dick, the only thing you need to do is to draw the attention. First, you need to draw men’s attention away and then take advantage of his unpreparedness, giving them a quick kick and surely, any strong man will instantly bend down…”

Although the idea sounded ridiculous, yet, Leila still took his explanation seriously.

“But what if the rival is a woman?” Leila asked the question embarrassedly.

“A woman?” Arthur was momentarily caught up in the question before he then reacted. “Hey! Do women need those self-defense skills which are only used for a pervert? Just grab them with your nails, don’t women like to scratch each other in fights?”

“Sir, does it like this?” Leila looked at him seriously then suddenly gave Arthur a flying kick.

“Ah…my goodness…” Arthur bent down immediately and hugged himself while screaming, “Why do you kick me?!”

Leila smiled faintly.” Since you keep saying it is a good trick, I just practise it on you, sir!”

“You are too cruel, Lexi!” Arthur was truly dumbfounded by the kick, and his face went pale for a moment. “It hurts like hell!”

Leila was embarrassed but her mood turned better and she spoke with a smile, “Sorry, I’m in a much better mood, I would like to treat you a dinner as a way to compensate you.”

“Oh my God! How can there be such a woman?” Was this the Lexi that he knew? Could she be so lively too? Or had she been overwhelmed by too many things and such an occasional naughty was her real side?

“I have controlled myself and only used a third of my strength!” Leila innocently said.

As a result, it caused Arthur sitting there for the next half an hour without moving. Yet, this made Leila feel guilty, was she giving too much force?

But it was definitely a good trick!

Most of the men were afraid of this trick and she could use it to protect herself in the future.

At the CF Restaurant.

Its environment was elegant.

Arthur showed a cold face while his hand was holding an almost burnt out cigarette, yet, there was a childish annoyance on his handsome face. His gaze raised slightly and swept over Leila who was eating happily opposite the table, then he finally knocked on the table impatiently. “Hey! Hey! Hey! I’m already disabled and you are still in the mood to eat?”

“I’m hungry!” She was so scared that she didn’t eat breakfast and now she was really hungry!

“Hungry?” Arthur raised his eyebrows. “You’re really heartless, how can your boyfriend bear with you?”

“Do I look really annoying?” Leila asked with a low and weak voice.

Being stunned for a moment, Arthur looked at Leila’s slightly confused little face in confusion and asked incomprehensibly, “What’s wrong? Who hates you?”

Lowering her eyes, Leila just shook her head. “No, just asking!”

“No, you have something on your mind!”

“I have a party to go tonight and I’m thinking about it!!”

“Attending a party? I have a party tonight too.” Arthur frowned. “Why don't you just come with me, don't go to that party of yours.”

Leila shook her head. “I can’t.”

This was what brought her the headache, her mother-in-law had given her an order, how did she dare not to go?

Arthur was a little disappointed. “I’m going to invite you to be my companion, but it seems that I can’t, let’s make it next time!”

Leila smiled gently, “Why do we have to attend such kind of exhausting banquet?”

Arthur faintly raised the corner of his lips and asked with a smile, “Don’t you like to attend those parties?”

Leila nodded her head. “I don’t like it, don’t like it very much!”

“I don’t like it either, it is too tiring!”

Leila helped him to serve a bowl of soup before she raised her eyes to meet his gaze and smiled brightly. “Drink the soup! It’s better to have some soup first as you’ve just been sick, it’s good for your stomach and intestines.”

Leila’s smile was bright enough that it made Arthur pursue his lips slightly, he withdrew his gaze. He then scooped with a small spoon and tasted it, his gaze flickered for a while, he looked like pretty peaceful, but his face was quite wired and unpredictable.

Leila bowed her head and ate seriously.

Arthur chuckled and said lazily, “The dishes in this restaurant taste good, how do you know about this restaurant?”

“My classmate brought me here when we had a school party!” Leila laughed, “Eat some more as it tastes good! This restaurant is clean and tasty! If you like it, I’ll invite you here from now on!”

Arthur laughed loudly, “Sure, remember you have to treat me again!”

The two of them smiled at each other and this made Leila feel much better, perhaps this was how it felt like to have a friend!

“Hurry up, I have to hurry back after the meal. Arthur, I’m really sorry for what I did to you today!” Leila wryly blinked her eyes and smiled.

Looking at her smile, Arthur’s handsome and gentle face turned more mysterious.

At night, in HJ.

In the afternoon, Leila had purchased her dress and jewelry with Vincent’s credit card and she followed Vincent into the HJ ballroom with her thin high heels. Their arrival was very impressive and the flashing lights were even flashing continuously tonight as many media reporters were invited.

Leila kept her head lowered and not looking at the pairs of eyes that made her nervous, she knew that there were many VIPs here today, she could not be rude, so she took every step forward carefully. However, just at the moment she lifted her eyes, she met Arthur who was staring at her, and he looked stunned.

The glorious reception hall was decorated with gorgeous lights, and there were graceful ladies with scented clothes. The guests were all enjoy the event joyfully, everyone was looking for their own targets, mingling with each other with wine, even the mellifluous orchestral accompaniment was about to be overwhelmed.

Meanwhile, Arthur was subdued.

Being stunned, he didn’t expect that Vincent’s wife was the woman who practised Taekwondo with him, wasn’t her name Lexi?

Leila’s slender figure was showing up, and the crowd's eyes looked over!

Wow! What a beautiful woman!

The crowd exclaimed, she and Vincent could be considered the most perfectly matched fairy tale pair at the moment. It was just appearing in everyone's line of sight, drawing people’s attention to wonder who she really was.

She was dressed in a light yellow dress that showed off her sexy shoulder, she looked pure and charming. She was so brightly fresh, overwhelmingly beautiful and unpretentious, like an elf in the night sky.

Arthur had never seen Leila like this before, she was like a fairy. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Was this beautiful woman ... really Lexi?

Her long hair was curled up and pulled back in a way that reflected her small face, yet, her hair quality was rare, black and bright that made her complexion white yet light red. Moreover, her clear eyes were the most beautiful part on her face, her blinking was always with a slight sadness, it was so attractive and charming.

It was the first time that Arthur had seen Leila after dressing up. Although he had known that she was quite good looking, he had never expected her to be this stunning.

The only thing was that her whole body seemed to be tinged with a layer of melancholy, especially her eyes, yet, she felt more panicked at the moment.

In an instant, his eyes became icy cold, even it was just a glance, it made Leila feel a trace of strong coldness was spreading.

It turned out that she was Vincent’s wife, he thought that she was Macey’s cousin but he forgot that she had indeed been Macey’s cousin and she didn’t lie to him, it was just that he hadn’t thought deeply about it himself.

She was also dumbfounded as she didn’t expect to meet Arthur and when they finally met with each other, she could see the sadness in Arthur’s eyes.

Vincent obviously felt Leila’s change and followed her sight, he found Arthur, but he had now regained his calm expression and was smiling as he approached.

Although he was surprised, at this moment, he obviously felt Leila’s unnaturalness and nervousness, this was how Arthur like, unless he wanted to tease others when he wanted to play with them, he was very gentle too when he was not in the mood.

Leila was even more uneasy when she saw Arthur approaching, she immediately lowered her head and dared not to look at him.

“Hah! Vincent, let me guess, is this beautiful young lady your mysterious wife? Introduce yourself!” Arthur was already walking up to them with his glass of wine.

Leila turned even more nervous and her heart almost beat out of her chest. She was just afraid that Arthur would tell Vincent that she was learning Taekwondo and she had lied to him and said she was Lexi because she was afraid that Vincent would know.

Vincent who was standing beside her seemed to feel something wrong, emitting his cold and domineering aura, it was like invisible poison, which made Leila scared. Although Vincent was a little suspicious, he feeling that something was wrong, in the end he still found nothing and he introduced them. “This is Leila, my wife! Leila, Arthur, the vice president of the White’s Group.”

Leila looked up and smiled at Arthur embarrassedly, “He…Hello!”

She stuttered a little as soon as she was nervous.

A playful smile curled the corners of his lips. ‘were you not afraid of it? I would like to see how you could explain to me today!’ Arthur thought.

Vincent’s eyes fell on the smirk of Arthur, his eyebrows knitted tightly as the way Arthur looked at Leila made him very unhappy.

His unhappy face made Leila notice more clear about the change on Vincent’s face. She carefully raised her eyes and took a look at Vincent, feeling deeply that there was displeasure on his handsome face.

He smiled, but not debunked her, Arthur said nothing but only treated it as a first meeting. “Leila, you has finally revealed yourself, I always wonder what you look like. When I see you today, I only realize that you turn out to be so overwhelming, no wonder Vincent is reluctant to bring you out! If it was me, I will not be willing to bring such a beautiful wife out too!”

“You’re so humorous!” Leila tried to calm herself down and didn’t look at Arthur. Alright, no need to be afraid, just let it be.

The people around were talking about something and it seemed to be exclaiming how well matched Vincent and Leila were.

“Haha…yeah, I’m always humorous and funny, I’m so honoured that you can see my nature.” Arthur kept joking but Leila was getting more and more uneasy, she felt uncomfortable but she could only force to smile and keep silent.
