Chapter 260 You Are My Wife


    As she struggled, Le caught glimpse of his neck again. The image of the red bite mark was burned


    into her eyes.


    “Don’t forget that you are my wife!”


    Le was stunned after hearing what he yelled. Her mind went nk. He called her his wife, but did he


    ever treat her as his wife?


    She kept looking at the bite mark around his neck. Her clear and big eyes were wide open as she


    stared at it nkly. Her eyes were filled with puzzlement and confusion, and she was slightly upset.


    Vincent was annoyed seeing the weird expression in her eyes, he frowned and said, “What are you


    looking at?”


    He lowered his head, but he couldn’t see the bite mark.


    Le’s body trembled. Suddenly, her eyes met Vincent’s. She said, “Do you still want a massage?”


    She tried her best to speak calmly, but her voice still trembled.


    Vincent stared into her eyes and realized that the expression in her eyes seemed tremendously


    mncholic. At that moment, his pupils constricted, and he stared at her nkly. He felt a surge of


    annoyance deep inside. He then shrugged her off, turned around and lied on his stomach.


    He actually let her go. He was surprised by his actions, “Of course I want a massage!”


    Le took a deep breath and let out a sigh of relief. She got up and kneeled next to him. She caressed


    his wide back with her small hand and massaged him with afortable strength. Vincent closed his


    eyes, hiding the tiredness in his eyes.


    “Massage me for one hour non-stop, okay?”


    Le tensed up. This was exploitation! She felt very ufortable being ordered by him like that, but


    she was willing to do thispared to sleeping with him.


    If they were in love with each other, she wouldn’t even frown if he asked her to massage him for an


    hour, maybe she would even do it for 10 hours. But the problem was that they weren’t a couple who


    were madly in love with each other, and he wasn’t the man he used to be!


    If there was no love, it could only be in exploitation.

    “Harder, did you not eat?”


    “Ugh!”


    “It hurts! Are you trying to kill me?”


    “Is this okay?”


    “Harder! No! Softer! Yes, like that. It’s barely okay. You have to practice more, you idiotic, stupid


    woman!”


    “Why marry me if you think I’m stupid?” She couldn’t help but mutter.


    “Do you want to die?”


    There was a banquet at night.


    Le put on a modest ck evening dress. Vincent was still sleeping when she got a call from Renee.


    Vincent slept for 2 whole hours as she massaged him.


    Le went to change after the phone call. She was all dressed and saw that Vincent was still sleeping.


    She took out the stuff in her handbag and put in into a ck glossy clutch that Pippa gave her. She


    then walked out of the room quietly.


    Vincent opened his eyes the moment the door closed. He got up and went into the bathroom. Only then


    he realized that there was a bite mark on his neck. His eyes flickered. Le was staring at his neck for


    so long, she had to be staring at the bite mark.


    At the banquet.


    “Le, wow! You’re so pretty! I told you that a long dress will show off your figure nicely. The men’s


    nose will start bleeding just by looking at your curves!” said Renee excitedly when she saw Le.


    Le smiled. She thought that ck didn’t suit her, but Vincent didn’t want her to wear the beige-


    yellowish dress and she didn’t want to make him upset. By not upsetting him, her life would also be a


    whole lot easier.


    She looked at Renee. Renee was wearing a long blue dress and it was eye-catching as well, “Your


    dress is really pretty too!”


    “Ha! I’m here to catch me a rich husband, of course I have to stand out!” said Renee as she nced at


    Le.


    “Catch a rich husband?”


    “Yeah! Everyone here is business elites. Even though we are working for the government, our sries


    are peanuts whenpared to what those business elites are earning. We won’t be able to save up


    much even if we work our whole life. My sry is not even enough for me to buy myself the make-up


    products I want! I’m not like you, you have a rich husband already!”


    “I think the sry is okay, I’m not into make-up though!” Le smiled.


    “Yeah, you really don’t have any make-up on. It’s so annoying that you have a naturally wless face.


    Hey, Le. You should put your hair up. I think it will look better if you tie it up. Come over, I’ll help you!”


    “There’s no need!”


    “Come on, your hairstyle doesn’t match your dress!”


    Le was pulled to a corner and Renee took some ck hairpins out of her clutch. Le’s hair was tied


    up with a ck hairpin with rhinestones on it and the stray hair was secured with bobby pins. Le’s


    dainty nape was now perfectly exposed.


    Renee pped her hand happily, “Yes! It’s wonderful like this. I bet Vincent would like it! Oh, he’s here!”


    Speak of the devil! Vincent tookrge strides and walked across the banquet hall. A prettydy was


    walking next to him with her arms familiarly wrapped around his. They appeared in front of the other


    guests with their arms locked together like that.


    Le’s heart turned wintry and heavy. She looked away, trying to not look in his direction.


    Vincent smiled faintly. He nced at Le and didn’t show any other emotions. He walked straight


    ahead and greeted the other VIPs.


    “Oh my god! Le, why weren’t you the one next to him?” It wasn’t Renee’s first time seeing something


    like this, “That woman seems to be the car model, Meredith Baker.”


    “It doesn’t matter, we are on duty, aren’t we? Renee, let’s go eat. I have not eaten dinner yet!” Le’s


    feeling was indescribable. There was always someone next to him and it would never be her. There


    was no reason for her to be narcissistic and be full of herself.


    She tried to not pay more attention to him and didn’t show many emotions. Le walked to the buffet


    area and Renee looked at her with a hint of pity in her eyes. She went along with her and whispered,


    “Are all rich guys yboys? It seemed wonderful to marry a rich person, but in reality, it doesn’t seem


    good! Le, tell me, should I find myself a rich husband? Or maybe someone with a higher position in


    the government? But should I really?


    “You should let love take its shape. If you are in love, you will be happy even if you and your husband


    are poor!” Le’s heart was pumping oddly. She didn’t want to attend this banquet, but at least this time


    she was forced to ept the fact that she wouldn’t be able to keep someone like Vincent by her side


    forever.


    He wasn’t the type of man that would easily sumb to her.


    Her dad said that it was okay as long as he fell in love with her. Sheughed self-depreciatingly. This


    was a tough mission and she wouldn’t be able to aplish it. Even so, she wouldn’t have to be as


    exhausted as before.


    Le picked her favourite food from the table. Renee couldn’t help but ask, “Le, how could you just


    take it? How can he bring another woman to the banquet when you’re here?”


    “Shh!” Le smiled as she put a finger on her lips, trying to stop Renee from asking more. “Let’s eat!”


    Renee rubbed her shoulder as if she was trying to cheer andfort Le, “Le, you have lost faith in


    man. It’s okay to cry, I’ll lend you my shoulder! My shoulder is nice and wide!”


    Le shook her head and smiled brightly, “I’m not going to cry! I just want to eat!”


    “Mr. White, let’s have some food!” Meredith walked towards the buffet area with a tray in her hand.


    Vincent was walking behind her.


    Le looked back and realized that Vincent was intentionally or unintentionally ncing at her. She


    smiled faintly as if what was happening didn’t bother her at all.


    Vincent had a frigid expression on his face, but he was pursing his lips.


    Le turned around and said to Renee, “Try this, it’s good!”


    She grabbed more and put it on her te as well. She then grabbed another te and gave it to


    Renee. She quickly grabbed more food and walked away to somewhere else to eat.


    The look of pity in Renee’s eyes intensified. She couldn’t help but snorted at Vincent as she walked


    past him. She looked at him in disdain. So, what if he was a young and sessful business elite? He


    was an indecent man with a frivolous personality! She hated yboys!


    Vincent’s face turned sullen as he felt Renee showing her hatred towards him.


    Le didn’t notice anything. Renee pouted, what was his deal, giving her the cold shoulder?


    Le sat down in a corner and started eating. Renee didn’t have any appetite.


    “Fuck, where’s Callum? Why is he not here yet? I’m so bored! I’m going out for a walk!”


    Le was done eating and she continued to sit in the corner. Afortable piano tune could be heard


    from the hall. She subconsciously nced towards the hall and saw Vincent and Meredith sticking


    closely to each other in a dark corner. Suddenly, as if the pressure in the air turned heavy, Le found it


    oppressing and hard to breathe.


    In the distance, Vincent noticed that Le was staring. He nced coldly at her and she tensed up. She


    didn’t shy away, but there were waves of emotions in her eyes. One couldn’t tell if she was happy or


    sad.


    Vincent’s grip on Meredith tightened. He pressed her against the wall and kissed her.


    Le’s pupil constricted and she closed her eyes. She turned her head and only then opened her eyes


    again.


    “Mydy, would you care for a dance?” Le heard a familiar voice as she opened her eyes. Callum


    was standing in front of her.


    “Oh! It’s you. Renee was looking for you!” Le quickly calmed herself down and looked around for


    Renee.


    “She’ll be fine, she’s not a child. But you, what are you thinking about so deeply? Let’s dance!” said


    Callum. He didn’t even say Renee’s name. “The music is starting soon and everybody’s going to


    dance! Let’s go!”


    “You should dance with Renee!” Le felt that Callum and Renee were like quarrelsome lovers and that


    Renee seemed to be quite concerned about Callum.


    “Well, I’ll apany you here if you don’t want to dance!” said Callum as he sat down next to her.


    At this moment, the friendly organizer of the banquet invited Vincent to warm the dance floor. He


    walked into the middle of the hall together with Meredith. The music started ying soon after. They


    started to waltz dance gracefully, it was amon ballroom dance step.


    “Such a beautiful couple!” Callum couldn’t help but gasp.


    Le smiled faintly, “Oh right, what kind of dances do you know?”


    “I know everything!” Callum smiled brightly.


    “Let’s rumba after this!” said Le softly. After looking at Vincent and Meredith, she also wanted to


    dance.


    “Sure!” Callum was surprised but he said, “Sure thing, sure thing!”


    Renee was nowhere to be found as if she disappeared into thin air.


    Vincent and Meredith were spectacr and no doubt the centre of attention.
