A Billion Dollar Exchange

"Ma'm, you look so pretty! why is nature this unfair, if I was half as beautiful, I would have won the beauty pageant back then in school!"

Liling smiled at the five women who Liu Wei had paid to dress her up.

Each of them had their function. Her hair, was done by one of them who was a professional. Her makeup, by two of the other women. The others helped her put on the dress and her shoes.

Liling stared at her reflection in the floor to ceiling mirror. She could not believe that the woman she saw there was really her.

The dress Liu Wei had gotten for her was unimaginably beautiful, but she never expected to fit her her so well!

The shiny blue mermaid dress was elegant and extremely unique. It had a detachable train which aided in accentuating her slender physique. Sleeveless, it showed off her slender shoulders and hands, the tiny diamonds which covered every inch of the blue dress made it glitter and attractive to the eyes.

Liling was just unrecognizable.

She was brought back to reality, when the woman who had praised her earlier, came to stand beside her, making her reflection appear in the mirror.

Liling blinked into consciousness and turned to look at the women, smiling shyly.

"Ma'm , you are so beautiful. I'm sure young master Liu Wei won't be able to take his eyes off you tonight. "

Another woman commented. Liling couldn't stop the blush forcing itself to her cheeks. She smiled sheepishly at them, her eyes looking down at her shoes.

"Thank you, and you can call me Liling, I'm not a Ma'm. "

Liling replied, a blush reddening her cheeks.

"...and she's so adorable! Young Master Liu Wei must be very lucky!"

The woman who had praised her earlier, spoke up again, with a smile on her lips. Liling wanted to reply but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

The women all turned to look at the door at the same time. After the second knock, one of the women walked up to the door and pulled it open.

"The Boss says he's waiting for Her downstairs. "

The woman didn't know who the man was, but she nodded all the same.

After she had closed the door, she turned back to look at the others.

"The Young Master is waiting downstairs, do you want to go now? "

Liling's eyes fluttered for a second and she quickly turned back to look at herself in the mirror again. After making sure she was okay, she nodded slightly;

"Alright, let's go. "

....

Liu Wei stood in the verandah, his two hands in his pockets. He was wearing a Limited Edition three-piece, slim fit black suit and had changed his hairstyle, making it a bit messy.

Liling's heels made the usual sound as it made contact with the glass floor. Liu Wei hearing some footsteps approaching, turned to look at where the noise was coming from.

He instantly froze at a spot.

The other women hurriedly bowed and rushed out to their car, leaving the both of them, alone.

Liling smiled as she walked towards him, in careful steps. Her eyes never leaving his for a second.

"Hey, "

She decided to break the silence. Liu Wei had been staring unblinkingly at her and she could not get any redder.

Her eyes fell to her hands, not able to stand his gaze any longer.

Liu Wei blinked when he heard her speak, he slowly recovered from his daze.

"You... "

She lifted her eyes to look at him, her lips slowly parted. The man who was trying to control himself from kissing the life out of her had to look away, this was currently too much to handle.

"What did you say? "

Liling asked when she did not hear a reply from him, a gentle smile on her lips.

Liu Wei swallowed hard and closed his eyes, trying to calm his raging emotions.

He finally opened them to look at her stunning face.

"Liling, do you know that you drive me crazy?! "

Liu Wei brushed his hand through his hair as he tried to control himself. His eyes were filled with turbulent emotions as he tried not to maintain eye contact with her.

Liling stared at his troubled face and giggled. "You look dashing. "

She remarked seductively, closing the gap between them.

"What did you do to your hair? I like it."

She grinned, placing her slender hand on his chest.

"Can you please stop tormenting me. I am finding it hard controlling myself here. "

Liu Wei complained bitterly. The spots on his body which her hands touched where set on fire, he could not do anything but redden considerably. Liling seeing the effect she was having on him, giggled lightly.

"I would have let you kiss me but you'll spoil my makeup. What do we do? "

She joked making puppy eyes at him. The hands on his chest slid up to his neck, making Liu Wei moan softly.

"Just one peck, it won't ruin your lips will it?"

Liu Wei begged. This woman literally had his life on her hands!

Liling smiled at his words and looked up at the ceiling, humming softly as though contemplating on what he just said.

"Mmm, just one peck, but your eyes doesn't look like it will be satisfied with one peck, what if it exceeds one peck and my lips and hair gets ruined?"

She frowned naughtily, a pout on her lips.

Liu Wei gulped down hard and took in a deep breath,

"If it gets to that, we'll just call back the makeup artist."

He pulled her deeper into his arms and leaned down to kiss her lips but Liling avoided his mouth.

"No, it'll take time and we'll be late for the party!"

Liu Wei sighed and stared at her, his face sorrowful.

"Alright, alright, just one kiss..."

She gave up seeing his pitiful face, closing her eyes she pouted, waiting for the kiss, when all of a sudden, there was a scream.

"What do we have here! Oh my God! BFF IS THAT YOU?"

Xin Yong screamed as her eyes fell on the dress Liling was putting on. The last time they spoke, Liling did not mention anything about the dress.

"JEEZ, YOU'RE SO HOT!! LILING!! "

The couple who was just interrupted quickly released each other. Xin Yong ran to her friend, admiring her dress, while Jin Yue who saw all that transpired walked towards Liu Wei with a mischievous grin planted on his face.
