Chapter 239 - It Smells Good 1

It was half past ten when Emily finished her shower. She lay on the bed and read for a while. Then she turned off the light and went to sleep. After she returned home, she could not practice Sanda, but kept her daily routine. Every day, she would drink a glass of milk in the morning and evening to grow taller, and two poached eggs in the morning to get extra nutrition.

Being at home, she no longer stayed up late. Every night, she would fall asleep before eleven o'clock to ensure that she had enough energy the next day.

However, at this moment, she was tossing and turning on her bed. The moment she closed her eyes, the scene that Vincent turned blind eye to her and walked past her appeared in her mind.

Emily felt somehow depressed again. She did not know how to describe that feeling, a little sad and disappointed.

After a long time, she finally fell asleep. While she was half awake, she felt that someone was sitting by her beside. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw a dark figure.

"Mr. Vincent?" She sat up in shock, "Why are you here?"

Vincent turned on the wall lamp and his face appeared. He raised his eyebrows, under which there were dark eyes, straight nose, and thin lips.

He leaned forward, put his chin on her shoulder, and took a deep sniff of the scent of shower gel left on her neck before saying, "I wanted to take you to a place, but it's too late now."

"Where?" Emily could smell the faint nicotine aura and wine fragrance on his body. She guessed that he had just left the Garden Hotel and come here directly after the party.

"Do you want to go?" Vincent withdrew slightly and asked in hoarse and pleasant voice.

Emily nodded, "Yes."

Vincent curved his lips. "Put on your clothes."

"Alright."

On the balcony, the three guards scrambled against the wall like a pyramid, so that the little Hulk could step on their shoulders later. Unexpectedly, when Emily saw Vincent jumped down easily, she jumped down as well without saying a word, which scared them to death.

Fortunately, Vincent found this and stretched out his arms to carry her.

Only Guard D stood far away with such look as "see! I told you". His complacent look displeased the other three guards. They took off their shoes and hit him.

Emily jumped down and saw Harold standing aside. She waved her hand and whispered, "Let's go."

Harold silently followed.

They arrived at a top villa. The security system there was so tight that the car and the driver's face both needed to be scanned. Only after the driver was identified could they be allowed to leave.

Emily sat in the back seat, looking out. The villa was uniquely designed, with rockeries surrounding it. At the front gate, there seemed to be a fountain as one could hear the clacking sound when the bamboo gently hit the stone. But it was too dark to see anything. Only the sound of water could be heard. Not long after the car entered, it stopped. a guard pulled open the door, and Vincent got off the car first, then led Emily forward by his hand.

After taking a few steps, Vincent stopped and turned to look at her, "Why are you smiling?"

Emily pursed his lips and looked at the tie on his chest, trying to stop smiling.

She thought that she lost the tie. It turned out that Irene found it and gave it to Vincent for her.

"I just found that Mr. Vincent's tie is so beautiful and wonder who sent that to you." Emily pretended to be deep in thought. "It must be a woman who is beautiful, considerate, intelligent and elegant!"

"Yes." Vincent curved his lips and smiled dotingly.

Guard A, "PDA again..."

Guard B, "Why am I here..."

Guard C, "I should not be here to see how sweet you are..."

After the three guards finished speaking, they did not hear Guard D's opinion. They turned around and saw he and Harold were eating melon seeds and had no time to talk.

"..."

There seemed to be no other residents in this villa, or perhaps the other residents had already fallen asleep as Emily did not see any lights in the windows. Fortunately, they had cat paw-shaped lights on the ground that led them all the way in.

The strong fragrance of the flowers came along with the night breeze. Emily took a deep breath. "It smells good."

Vincent lowered his head and sniffed at her neck, "It really smells good."

Emily said, "..."

Harold was so shocked that he dropped his melon seeds when hearing this.

The guards looked stunned!

The elevator was very special. When one entered, a face scanning system would appear to scan each face. They could calculate the person's height and weight. If someone stood next to the elevator, it could even get the waistline.

Emily looked at their height difference and silently stood on tiptoe.

The guards all turned a blind eye to this.

Only Harold put his feet under Emily's feet, trying to make her look taller.

Vincent maintained a poker face, but the glimmer of a smile was caught in his eyes. He held her in his arms and said, "That's enough."

Before Emily could understand what he meant, the elevator had already arrived. Vincent carried her out and the guards went to open the door.

There was a suite on the top floor. Once the door opened, the incomparably wide hall and the huge floor-to-ceiling window were in sight. No one turned on the lights. They went in through the darkness. Though puzzled, Emily did not ask. She only held Vincent's hand tightly and followed him to the window.

Looking out from here, one could only see countless lights stretching into the distance. A bright moon was hanging high in the sky with a few stars around it. Emily was staring at the moon when she heard his question. "Do you have any wishes?"

Wishes?

Emily looked up. His strong handsome features and rolling apple made her spellbound. In his eyes, a glimmer of smile and softness was caught.

Emily looked into those eyes and thought seriously in her heart, 'I wish that I have a lot of money; that I can become strong enough in the future to protect my family. I wish ... Vincent's leg can be cured. I hope that he ... can live a good life.'

Just as she finished her wishes, a rumbling sound came from afar. Emily was startled, thinking it was a thunder. But when she turned around, the silver fireworks exploded in the sky, lighting up the entire city.

She was so surprised that words failed. Her ears were filled with Vincent's demonic voice.. "Hope you like it."
