A Billion Dollar Exchange

Liling's eyes fluttered open as she inhaled a familiar scent. She realized she wasn't on the ground but in someone's arms.

Liu Wei had caught her.

Her heartbeat increased rapidly as she realized that he was hugging her to himself and his hands were around her waists.

Quickly, she released herself from his grasp and stood upright, adjusting her dress.

"Thank you...and... I'll be heading downstairs. "

Liling replied nervously. She wasn't comfortable with his unwavering stare, all she wanted to do was disappear from his presence.

"You look... perfect tonight..."

" "

Liling froze considerably. Her feet that were about skipping off stuck to the floor as a deep blush flushed her pretty face.

"...thank ...you"

She finally voiced out amidst the waves of emotions that were about to push open her chests.

Liu Wei thoughts ran wild.

Liling was strikingly breathtaking that night and if he let her go down all by herself, she might belong to another person by the end of the night.

Just her eyes were enough to sweep any man off his feet.

"You are going down for the party right?, why don't we go together? "

Liu Wei blurted out before he could think about it.

" "

Liling's lips fell open, as her eyes widened in shock.

'Like go down together, meaning walking into the hall together!! In front of so many influential people!! No... no'

"In case you're going to fall again, I'll be here to catch you..."

Liling was about to reject his offer when he cut her off immediately. He then extended his hand to her.

Liling could feel beads of sweat forming on her forehead as she looked down at his hand.

Since he had offered, it was quite impolite to turn him down, so she could only smile whilst she put her hand in his. Liu Wei's heart bubbled with joy seeing that she didn't turn him down.

The hall in which the party was held was on the ground floor, so that after walking into the doors, you have to walk down some stairs.

Liling didn't know of this, she had thought that they would sneakingly walk in avoiding everyone, but the view that met her nearly sent her running back.

As soon as they approached the doors, the security guards pushed it open and they both walked in.

The truth was that, most of the people who came for the party, only came to get in good terms with the CEOs.

Since it was Jin Yue celebrating, obviously Liu Wei would be there, so a bunch of females who came, either came for Liu Wei, knowing he was still single, or they came to see the woman who Jin Yue was with presently.

The women all knew Jin Yue wasn't a one woman type, so they also came to see if they were a compatible replacement for the present one.

The others who were there for Liu Wei had searched around but couldn't find him, they were almost growing impatient.

It was at this point, the doors to the hall clicked open and all eyes turned to the latecomers who were just coming in when the party was almost half way through.

Liling's eyes widened at the many eyes that were piercing through her skin, her first impulse was to turn and run out but Liu Wei knowing this, held onto to her tightly.

She could only continue down the stairs.

The people who saw them first grew silent at the shocking sight, so the others seeing a bunch of people looking at one direction, turned to know what was drawing their attention.

That was how the whole hall grew quiet watching the couple walk down the stairs.

What was happening?

Liu Wei who didn't look twice at any woman was openly walking hand in hand with a woman!!

'Who was she?!!'
