A Billion Dollar Exchange

Liu Wei's phone vibrated on the long meeting table.

He was currently in a meeting with the company managers. Da Xia, the Chief Accountant talking, she put on the best smile and spoke elegantly.

Almost all the staff liked her, at first, they were afraid that she would not be able to manage the accounts department well, since she was new and the chief accountant who was there before, got transferred all of a sudden.

But to their surprise, she exhibited a great deal of professionalism and hard work which did not go unnoticed. Apart from that, they had sometimes seen her in the company of the chairman, who was Liu Wei's father, and obviously no one would want to get on her bad side.

Some even gossipped that she was the future First Lady, while others said she was Liu Wei's father's mistress. But either of them, she was still someone you wouldn't want to joke with.

She was beautiful and outstanding, always had that 'I love you' smile plastered on her face for everyone. She won over the heart of almost all the staff in the company, except obviously for Liu Wei, who doesn't even notice her. His eyes were of course, for a certain someone who he was currently thinking of at that moment.

The meeting was to take three long hours, they had only stayed for an hour but Liu Wei was already bored. He picked up his phone to text Liling, since he was sure she'll lighten up his mood.

He tapped on his screen and the phone instantly lit up, his eyes flashed on the message icon which was notifying him of a new message.

Tapping on the icon, his whole system froze in place by what he saw. His hairs stood upright as a deep red blush formed on his cheeks.

"Baby..."

Her message was only one word, but it was capable of turning him red as a tomato. He never knew she was that shameless!

It took him a whole minute to recover from the shock, he instantly tapped on the message box and began typing, a grin apparent on his lips. The meeting totally forgotten.

"Wifey..., sorry I couldn't reply on time, I am currently in a meeting(so boring!), are you home?"

Liu Wei stared at his words for sometime before clicking send. He anxiously waited for Liling's reply. He could feel himself getting excited by the second.

Liling had been staring at her phone for the past ten minutes waiting for Liu Wei's reply. She lay on her bed and eating peanuts, not knowing what else to do.

She had jokingly sent the message and was excited about it at first but Liu Wei took so long to reply. She reasoned that he might be busy with work, so she didn't think much of it. Exiting her message app, she decided to play a board game.

The game had not fully loaded, before her phone vibrated and a message notification popped up on the screen.

She quickly exited the game and tapped on her message icon excitedly. Her jaws nearly dropped as her eyes widened at what she saw.

He had called her wifey!!

Liling could feel herself getting red all over. She mistakenly kicked over the bowl of peanuts as she squirmed around excitedly on her bed.

Remembering that she had not texted him back, she quickly picked up her phone from the bed.

"I'm home, and it's boring here too. But since you are very busy, I can't ask you to come back home. By the way, I made coconut cakes and cookies, come home early else, I'll eat them all!"

She stared at the texts while picking up her littered peanuts, before clicking send. Before she could drop her phone and concentrate on the peanuts, it vibrated again.

"I'll be back soon."

Liling smiled and sent an 'okay!' before dropping her phone finally.

It was still twelve o'clock, so she was not expecting him till the next five hours or more. She had laid sprawled on her bed since morning, no-one was at home, so there was no-one to talk to.

She had only washed her mouth, eaten her breakfast and returned lazily to bed. After putting back every piece of peanut back into the bowl, Liling dragged herself off the bed to take a bath.

As she stood up from the bed, her phone began to ring. She immediately dived back into the bed and picked up her phone, thinking it was Liu Wei, but her grin shrunk when she saw that it was Xin Yong on the line.

"Xin Yong!!, seems you're only concerned about your hot fiancé that you've forgotten your best friend right?"

She screamed, not waiting for her friend to speak. Though she was expecting a call from the love of her life, she was still happy to speak with her best friend.

"Hmm? you seem so happy, tell me, what is going on? "

Xin Yong asked, chuckling lightly.

"What?, nothing! nothing much, hehe, you called? "

"You kissed Liu Wei? "

"WHAT!, who told you?, no... I mean, who said that?! no way! ..."

Liling knew one thing, and that was, she could not lie to this friend. Just one question and boom! she was exposed!

"Liling, so you kissed Liu Wei again! tell me, did you guys do IT? I mean, how is he?... on bed? "

Liling's mouth fell open in shock. She nearly puked out her almost digested meal;

"XIN YONG!! "

Xin Yong bursted into a fit of howling laughter, she nearly teared up due to intense laughter.

"He asked me out... actually."

Xin Yong laughter was instantly cut off when she heard what Liling just said, her eyes widened in surprise and astonishment.

"Wait, wait, WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?! MR SEXY ADONIS ASKED YOU OUT!! OMG!! "

Xin Yong screamed excitedly over the phone, Liling had to put it away from her ear to save her eardrums.

"Liling, this is not a voice chat, no no no, Skype immediately!! "

Xin Yong cut the call quickly, not waiting to hear Liling's opinion. Liling shook her head at her crazy friend who loved to gossip, she quickly tapped on her Skype app.

Xin Yong was already video calling, she just had to answer the call.

"I didn't hear you clearly, repeat!! "

Xin Yong screamed excitedly. Her ears were already standing up, waiting to hear the long awaited gist of the century.

Liling could see her background from her phone, she was still on the bed with a man's shirt on, she could spot different sizes of hickeys on her neck.

"Hehe, seems someone has been VERY busy!"

Liling chuckled, glancing intently at her friend's neck.

Xin Yong's cheeks immediately started heating up. She instinctively raised her free hand to her neck.

"It's... it's mosquito bites, haha, don't think much of it. Let's just get to the gist. You were saying? "

She avoided her friend's gaze, her hands still trying to cover her neck. She didn't even know how it looked since she had not stood up from the bed due to exhaustion.

Jin Yue didn't leave her until he had gone about three rounds that morning.

By the time he was through, Xin Yong could not even lift an arm. He kissed her on the cheeks and left to get ready for work.

Now she thought about it, Liling's news had sent a wave of adrenaline through her body. She glared at her friend who was currently laughing so hard.

"I think, we both have gossips to talk about, come over to Liu Wei's house, I'll send the address. "
