A Billion Dollar Exchange

Chapter 187 - I Heard That!



The drive back home was unusually quiet. Liling tried to engage Liu Wei in a discussion but he would just nod and keep quiet. Then she finally decided to keep to herself. When they arrived back home, Liu Wei stepped out of the car and helped her come out. He signaled Wang Feng to leave and he immediately drove off with the car.

They walked into the house quietly, no one saying a word. Liu Wei walked upstairs and Liling quietly followed behind. When they finally arrived upstairs, Liling continued to follow Liu Wei to his room, Liu Wei turned around to look at her and she made puppy dog eyes at him.

He didn't say a word and let her come into the room. Liling closed the door behind her and walked toward Liu Wei who was undoing his tie.

''Baby I'll need help taking this off.''

Liu Wei turned to look at her, his eyes moving from her face down to the dress. After a few seconds, he walked towards her and Liling turned around, letting him see the zippers to the clothes. He held the zippers and pulled it down slowly, no one talking between them.

''Do you have anything to tell me?'' 

Finally!

Liu Wei asked as he fondled with the zippers. Liling nearly burst out laughing seeing how long it took him to say the words.

''Do you have anything to ask me?''

She asked amusedly. Liu Wei didn't reply to her question and helped her undue her zipper. Liling turned around and looked him in the eyes, a light blush on her cheeks.

''I love you…''

She said out of nowhere, drawing close to him, she tiptoed and kissed him on the lips.

''Thank you for today, I don't know what I would have done without you, you've made me so happy!''

She said with a bedroom voice, and hugged him around the waist, taking a deep breath; she closed her eyes and took in his scent.

Liu Wei's resolve weakened. He couldn't figure out how this woman would make him so helpless with just a few words. She rubbed her head against his chest with a smile on her lips.

Liu Wei stared down at her for a moment and slowly raised his hand and hugged her back, kissing her forehead.

Liling's smile widened and she hugged him tighter. They stayed like that for a few minutes, before Liling spoke up.

''About today, I'm sure Xin Yong told you about the strange guy. He didn't introduce himself, so I don't know his name. Not that I'm interested either! You shouldn't be jealous over every guy that walks up to me, I have eyes only for you, okay?''

Liu Wei couldn't describe the joy that flooded his heart at that moment. Hearing his woman say she has eyes only for him, was mid blowing. He pulled her head up and kissed her lightly on the cheeks.

''Who said I'm jealous?''

Liling could see the delight in his eyes. She giggled and ruffled his hair.

''See who's talking! Who was feigning seriousness all the way back home as though we've been quarreling for days! So naughty''

''That does not mean that I'm jealous. I just wanted to be quiet, that's all''

Liling couldn't help laughing harder, her face a shade of red.

''Shame! You can't even say a better lie.''

She shook her head, still laughing at him.

''Say one more word, and you'll be begging me this minute.''

Liu We threatened jokingly. His eyes moved from her face to her chests which were exposing a lot of skin, given that she had undone her zipper.

Liling's lips shut immediately; she stared at Liu Wei with puppy dog eyes. She wasn't sure if he meant what he just said, but she didn't want to take chances, so she kept her mouth shut.

It was Liu Wei's turn to laugh, but he didn't stress it.

''Alright, go take a shower, today's been stressful. I'll be waiting for you.''

Liling pouted and rolled her eyes at his smirking face; she turned around and walked toward the door, murmuring to herself.

''So shameless…''

''I heard that!''

''I'll miss you so much, can't you come back earlier?''

Liling was helping Liu Wei do his buttons. She could not believe that Monday would come so soon. Now she thought about it, she would be really lonely without him. 

She didn't want to cry but the tears were really forcing their way through her eyes, such that they became blurry and she could not fix the buttons properly.

''We'll speak every day and I'll make sure to come back as soon as possible, okay?''

He had been consoling her since the day before, but it seems all his efforts were in vain because she was just as sad as she was the day before.

''I'll miss you so badly, you know?''

Liling was done with the buttons, so she lifted her eyes to look at him. That was when Liu Wei saw the tears that clouded her eyes. 

He felt his heart rip into pieces as a drop fell from her eyes. He quickly pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

''Sweetheart don't cry, oh my God. You'll stain your beautiful face. I miss you too and I promise to be back as soon as I can. The workers will be coming back today and you'll start going to work, plus I promise to call you, every minute that I'm free, you won't be lonely, okay?''

Liling did not reply, she just snuggled deeper into his chest and bit her lower lip tightly. They stayed like that for almost five minutes, before Liling pulled away, pulling his neck down for a kiss. 

They kissed so intensely, Liling didn't let him until she was out of breath. She hugged him tightly, not wanting to let go.

Liu Wei was surprised seeing this side of her. It was new and at the same time, heartwarming. He was glad to know that she missed him as much as he missed her.

Almost at that moment, his phone began to ring. Liling slowly let him go. He picked up his phone and turned to look at Liling.

''Wang Feng must be outside, we should go now.''

She nodded quietly and helped him do his tie, picked up his jacket and handed it over to him.
