A Billion Dollar Exchange

During the meal, Liling couldn't help but notice the lovey dovey scene which was playing out before her.

'What! Has Xin Yong forgotten that her dearest BFF was still single? Can't she hold it till they were alone or they could just get a room upstairs! '

The only sound in the dining table was coming from the newly engaged couple. Liu Wei who had wanted to pretend that everything was alright couldn't hold it again, he instinctively turned to Jin Yue.

"This is time to eat, could you both exercise a little bit of patience till you get home? Or if you are both in a hurry, thank God we're in a hotel, you can go get a room. "

Liling, Jin Yue and Xin Yong: "....???"

The room fell quiet for a second before Jin Yue burst into laughter.

"Oh my!... , Bro, I've told you to get someone, but no! you blatantly refused. I'm with the love of my life, what do you expect? "

Xin Yong and Liling both looked at themselves as though they were both thinking the same thing.

Before Xin Yong could stop herself, her mouth had already moved.

"I thought you were engaged? "

Liling: 'XIN YONG!!! '

Jin Yue, not getting the hint quickly replied, still laughing.

"Engaged to who? Haha, my bro here has been single for life! It's a pity he may die single, all these beauty would return with him to the grave, tsk tsk, what a waste! Such a big waste!"

At this point, Liu Wei who was almost beet red glared at his friend ferociously.

'What kind of friend was he keeping? He could even expose his life long secrets as long as it was a woman asking!! '

Liu Wei tried as much as possible to compose himself. He noticed Liling's stare but he tried as much as possible not to look at her.

"See!, he's red all over. Bro, don't be shy, it's just Liling and my Sweet here, they won't tell your die hard fans... Ahh!!'

Liu Wei threw his chopsticks at him, Jin Yue had to use his hands to block it, else it would have hit him straight in the face.

"Since you don't want me to eat in peace, I'll sit over there, when you guys are through, you let me know. "

Liu Wei stood up and started walking towards the mini parlour.

"Ah, bro come back. I won't say another word. I promise! "

Jin Yue screamed when he saw that he had succeeded in driving Liu Wei away from the table. Liu Wei didn't even answer him, he strode to the mini parlour and sat down on a couch. Taking off his suit jacket, he unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt and relaxed himself, taking out his phone, he began scrolling through it.

All these while, Liling hadn't said a word. Her eyes had not left Liu Wei for a second.

'He was single... Meaning that... that... he wasn't engaged to that woman.

So, he hadn't dated any woman before, meaning... meaning... that was his first kiss!?!!??

So, does it mean that he liked her??!! '

Liling's eyes widened as all these thoughts bumped into her heart. She could feel her heart racing at the reality that was before her.

'Mr Liu Wei... likes her?!! '

Throughout the meal, Liling couldn't concentrate. Her eyes always glancing at the man on the couch. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.

Now that she thought about it, all the lines seemed to connect.

He helped her with her dad's bills and didn't ask for a dime. She was living for free in his mansion and although she hadn't been preforming her functions properly, he hadn't complained for once. He had taken care of her when she was having cramps, prepared her bath, tried to cook for her!!

WHY HADN'T SHE BEEN SEEING ALL THESE SINCE!!!

All she did was run from him, hide from him, cause trouble!!

He had been patient with her, not asking for anything but she had been selfish!

Liling almost felt like crying. Guilt clouded her thoughts and when she couldn't hold it in anymore, she immediately stood up then asked Jin Yue for the restroom.

He pointed to an adjoining room and she immediately rushed to restroom.
