A Billion Dollar Exchange

When they reached their bedroom, Liling sat down on the bed and tore of the wraps of the package, a beautiful case came into view. She slowly pulled it open, and a shiny necklace met her eyes. Liu Wei stood as he watched her beam cheerily.

''Oh my God, It's so beautiful! ''

She exclaimed taking it out of the case. She lifted it up to admire it and her eyes met an inscription. It was written in cursive but it quite was legible.

My Heartbeat…

Liling lifted her eyes to look at Liu Wei, it was already teary.

''Liu Wei, '' Liu Wei was smiling, seeing her glad made him happy. A happiness he couldn't fathom..

''Do you like it?''

''I love it! I love you! ''

She exclaimed, standing up, she hugged him around the neck.

Liu Wei kissed her cheeks.? ''I Love you too. Let me put it on. ''

He said and Liling released her grip, handing the necklace over to him. She turned around and pushed her hair aside so that he could see her neck.

Liu Wei unclasped it and put it around her.

She turned around to look at him with a beautiful smile. Her eyes were entrancing, the necklace made her face glow as though it was made just or her in the first place.

''You look beautiful. ''

Her smile stretched,

''I love you! ''

She said, putting her arms around his neck again.

''Let me run your bath. Have you eaten? ''

She asked, raising her brows.? Liu Wei shook his head.

''Okay. ''

Liling went to the bathroom to run the bath, after a few minutes, she came back to tell him that it was ready. As soon as he entered the bathroom, Liling gently took off the necklace. She admired it for a while before putting it back into the case and keeping it safely inside the walk in closet, where she kept her jewelries.

Rushing downstairs, she set the table and went back up to call Liu Wei down to eat.

During the meal, Liling kept on smiling as they ate. Sometimes she would sneak a peek at Liu Wei and when their eyes met, she blushed.

After the meal, the couple retired back upstairs. As soon as the door closed, Liling pounced on Liu Wei, kissing him with reckless abandon. Piece by piece, their clothes came off and before they knew it, they were both naked under the sheets.

Liu Wei held Liling in his arms, as their breath evened. After a while, she turned around to stare at his face.

''let's sleep now. It's late. ''

Liu Wei said; his palms rubbed gently on her back.

''I like you ''

She whispered, her eyes unmoving, staring at his fine features. Liu Wei's eyes fluttered open. He looked down at her face; she was a little flushed, lips rosy and eyes glassy.

''I can't sleep if you keep staring at me like that.''

''But I love you! ''

''I know, I love you too. ''

She smiled and placed her head on his chest. Liu Wei waited a moment before breaking the silence.

''My love ''

''Mm? ''

'' There's something I have to do. It's very important. ''

''Okay, do it then. ''

She replied; her eyes still closed.

''To do it, I have to be away for two weeks…''

''Okay …'' Liling replied, after about three seconds, her eyes flung open.

''Wait, do you mean being away from home? Like you won't come home for two weeks? ''

Liu Wei, who had been holding his breath, finally released it. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

''I'll come back as soon as I can, okay? Or you can come with me, yes! We can go together. Do you have any schedules? ''

Liling sat upright on the bed; she was no longer feeling sleepy.

''Where to? ''

She asked, trying to hold in her panic.

''America, you can come with me, we can go together, okay? ''

Liu Wei said, raising his hand to rub on her cheeks.

Liling bit her lower lip. She really wanted him not to go, given what happened the last time, but that would be selfish of her.

''I can't come with you. I have series of photo shoot lined up this month. ''

The room grew quiet. Liling started missing him even when he was not yet gone.

''We'll chat every day. ''

''I'll be lonely. ''

Liu Wei was speechless. He cleared his throat for a moment.

''About that, if we start now, we can have all the sex to make up for the two weeks I'll be away. ''

Liling turned to glare at him, her cheeks flushed.

''I'm not talking about sex! Lonely, like I'll miss you. ''

''I'm sorry. '' He said. '' But I promise you, once you are free; we would go to any country of your choice for a holiday. Just me and you. ''

Liling, who was sulking, brightened up immediately when she heard him.

''Really? ''

''Yeah really. ''

''Paris, we'll go there? ''

''Yeah, we'll go there. So am I forgiven? ''

He asked with raised brows, waiting for her decision.

Liling pouted, thinking for a few seconds.

Two weeks, she could wait, besides she was going to be really busy that whole month, so she would not miss him too much. Lying back down, she hugged him back around the waists.

''As long as you call me every day and come back safe to me, and don't look at other women ''

''You know, I see just you. ''

''I know ''

She smiled.

…

''Please listen to me. Just once, please! ''

''I've told you to stop trailing me! Aren't you satisfied? Uh? Do you want to see me reduced to nothing before you leave me alone!''

Xin Yong screamed, she was shaking and her face was red with rage. Jin Yue had followed her all the way from the company to her home. She really did not want to talk to him, but she couldn't help but notice his presence around her and it opened up old scars.

''Sweet, I made a mistake, I…''
