A Billion Dollar Exchange

One week later…

Wedding bells!

Everyone was still talking about the breakup between the couple until they announced their wedding date. The internet was turned upside down because the news came as shock; soon they began to say that they had intentionally kept quiet to the rumors in order to shock them with the news of their wedding; most of the Liu Wei's female fans were so jealous of Liling but they had to accept the fact that she was the one in a billion persons that he chose to spend the rest of his life with.

'Oh my God; Liling! You look so pretty! '' Xin Yong exclaimed, tears blurring her eyes. as Liling stepped out of the dressing room in her wedding gown; it was personally crafted by the best designers in the whole world; it was like no other, diamonds splattered all around the flowing gown and they shone brightly as the bright rays of the sun cast upon her;

She was as radiant as the sun itself, and when she smiled, it took their breaths away; the maids could not help aweing at her angelic sight; 

''I want to hug you but I don't want to ruin the dress; '' Xin Yong exclaimed half laughing, half crying.

Her hands flew to her mouth as she tried to control herself; maybe she was so emotional because of the baby;

''Stop crying now, you will make me cry! '' Liling exclaimed, she could feel her tears boiling up; Xin Yong wiped her eyes immediately;

''I'm sorry, I just can't control it, you are so pretty in that dress! God, Liling, you are getting married!''

It felt like yesterday, when they were still in school, arguing about little things and how their future would be; now here they were, everything was like a dream.

Liling chuckled; ''I know right! I'm shocked too, it's like a miracle. ''

She exclaimed; one of the maids adjusted the large standing mirror so she could see herself;

When she saw her reflection, her heart skipped a beat, she was so beautiful in that dress and she knew he would love it.

''I heard they are already waiting; let's hurry!''

Xin Yong said as she ordered the maids to carry her train and they left the building; there was a car waiting outside already; her father stood by the car, when he saw her, a smile washed his features;

''You look amazing, Liling. ''

He said, tears clouding his eyes, he never thought he would one day take her to the altar;

''Thank you father ''

She replied with a smile; the doors were opened and she stepped in; the maids gently put her train in and her father sat in front, they took the other cars lined up behind and they drove to the venue;

As expected, over a hundred reporters were crowded outside the gates with cameras in hand, when the train of cars approached, they immediately started taking pictures and making videos; but that was it, none of them could come in because the security did well to keep them away.

When the car parked; Liling stepped down and the maids who had driven in the other cars rushed immediately to help her arrange her dress;

Lifting her eyes; she saw that everyone was seated and where looking at her with a beautiful smile plastered to their faces; the place was so tastefully decorated; there were little girls holding bowls of roses and pouring it on the floor, ready to pour it on the floor as she stepped on them; Xin Yong and the bridesmaids lined up behind her and her father came and stood by her side, he lifted his arm and she held onto it; as she looked back to the crowd; her eyes locked with Liu Wei's who was standing afar off, and almost at the same time, a song began singing in the background;

Wise men say…

Only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay, would it be a sin, if I can't help, falling in love with you

Liling's eyes clouded with tears as she smiled brightly, she took her steps one after the other, immersing in the song, her eyes still locked in Liu Wei's everyone else becoming invisible;

His eyes were deep and although he tried to look composed, she knew he was nervous, like the first time he asked her to be with him;

Like a river flows; surely to the sea

'Darling so it goes, something's are meant to be…  

Take my hand… take my whole life too,

Cause I can't help, falling in love with you…

The song carried so much deep meaning that some people in the crowd began crying; Liling knew it was her day, but she couldn't prevent her tears from falling; the song made her remember all the hard times she's faced, her tears, her suffering, his everlasting love for her, it was too much to take in;

Like a river flows; surely to the sea

'Darling so it goes, something's are meant to be…  

Take my hand… take my whole life too,

Cause I can't help, falling in love with you…

Cause I can't help falling in love with you…

She was almost in front of him now, her father took her hand and gave it to Liu Wei; and she stood in front of him;

It was then she realized his eyes were misty and filled with emotions;

He held her right hand and stared straight into her eyes;

''You are perfect, Sunshine. '' he whispered slowly, and she smiled; they were still gazing into each other's eyes as though everyone else was oblivious when the Officiator interrupted;

''You may say your vows; ''

Liu Wei stared into her eyes for some time before he spoke;

''My Sunshine… even till this moment, being by your side feels like a dream.

Each day I wake up, knowing that you're mine, my heart skips a beat'

I promise to be the husband you've always wanted'

I promise to be the reason why a smile never leaves your face

You're my billion dreams come true

You're my everlasting joy'

I promise to love you now; and love you ten times more in a hundred years to come

Today seems like the start of a new journey but I'm glad I already belong to you

Loving you gives my Life its purpose, and till death do us part, I am forever yours.''

Liling's tears seeped down her eyes, as she was lost in his, the background song replaying, pulling everyone else out of their world;

Today, I can proudly say that I'm the happiest woman alive'

To be called your wife is nature's choicest blessing to me

Husband, I love that I can wake up forever to you staring at me like you just saw a lost diamond

I love that you kiss me at any slightest chance you have

I love that you are always there for me and always there to put a smile on my face

I'm not the best woman out there, but you have loved me unconditionally that I am short of words;

Today, I want to make promises to you that I will always keep

I promise to never stop holding your hand

I promise to be the one that will make you smile

I promise to be the one you see when you wake up from sleep

I promise to stand by your side when you face the world

I promise to join your laughter with mine and when it's dark, I promise to be your light

I choose you, I choose you over and over and over, without pause, without doubt, I'll keep choosing you.

I love you now, and in a thousand years to come, I'll still love you.
