A Billion Dollar Exchange

As Xin Yong stood up amidst cheers, she felt someone walking up to her.

Turning to look beside her, her breath hitched as her eyes met his.

Jin Yue was full of smiles. He was putting on a matching outfit, his face lit up when he saw her. She looked like a perfect angel, beautiful and amazing.

Her dress fit her perfectly, as though it was made specially for her.

Xin Yong wondered if he had always been this handsome as she was just noticing it for the first time. Her heartbeat increased rapidly as he approached her slowly.

He was extremely breathtaking that night.

"Sweet... "

"Let's cut the cake first!"

Xin Yong interrupted immediately. She didn't want them talking about their fight there. They had a lot of time after the party.

Some friends accompanied them to cut the cake, while others waited behind to sing the 'happy birthday' song to her.

"Wow!, this couple look so good together! Oh my! CEO Jin, you really have good eyes!"

The MC couldn't help but comment. In reality, everyone was commenting on them.

They looked like a perfect couple made in heaven. Xin Yong blushed deeply as the crowd cheered at them.

The cake was extremely large and tastefully decorated. It was her favorite color, light blue.

Everything was just blue that night.

As they approached, Xin Yong could see her name boldly inscribed on the cake.

"Happy Birthday To My Sweet..."

A deep blush appeared on her cheeks, she wondered if Jin Yue would ever stop calling her that.

As they all stood behind the giant cake, the MC signaled them to sing the birthday song, after which he urged Xin Yong to make a wish and blow off the candle lights.

"Alright, time to cut the cake!, CEO Jin, hold Little Miss's hand... yes... that's right. Now, after the count of three, CEO Jin, you guide little Miss to cut the cake... "

Xin Yong could feel her heart racing as Jin Yue held her hand to the knife. She hadn't been this close to him in weeks, so as his scent drifted into her nostrils, she had to exercise a greater self control to prevent herself from burying herself into his arms.

After the count of three, Xin Yong cut the cake which was followed by loud cheers from the audience.

Jin Yue led her back to their seats as the rest of the people returned too. The attendants carried the cake away to cut it evenly and distribute it.

It was when Xin Yong sat back down that she realized she hadn't seen Liling. She searched around with her eyes but couldn't find her anywhere.

...

Liling checked herself in the mirror over again before stepping out of the room. As soon as she stepped out, she met a certain person she had been avoiding for a long time.

'Liu Wei... '

Liu Wei just walked out from the adjacent room. The look in his eyes, when his eyes met hers showed that he wasn't expecting to see her there too.

Liling stood dumbly at a spot.

'Should she leave without saying anything, or should she say hi'? '

Liu Wei admired the lady in front of him for a second and proceeded to walk towards the stairs. At that moment, Liling also started walking towards the stairs.

Noticing that, Liu Wei paused his steps to let her walk past. Liling nervously walked past him and hurried over to the stairs.

Either it was because of her anxiety or because they hadn't been quite close for quite some time and she was feeling quite nervous, as soon as she took a few steps down the stairs, Liling slipped and fell.

Her eyes closed tightly as she waited for the impact of the fall...

"You watch where you are going, else, you'll ruin your legs"
