A Billion Dollar Exchange

"You didn't tell me about the dress, what kind of a friend are you?! "

Xin Yong scolded angrily, but was still checking out the dress.

"You look gorgeous, wow! you are wearing couple wears! that's so romantic! "

Liling remarked as she noticed that Jin Yue's suit was black and red matching with Xin Yong's red sleeveless dress.

"Your sins are so many, how do I start forgiving you? "

Xin Yong sighed jokingly as she walked around her friend admiring the beauty of the dress.

"Liu Wei really has good eyes, look, your are so unrecognizable!."

Xin Yong screamed excitedly.

"Guess what? there is a red carpet, Liling, you're gonna walk in with no1 most handsome guy in China!, the whole world is watching this party tonight, BFF this is fame knocking on your door! "

Xin Yong screamed excitedly. She took Liling's hands and raised it up high in the sky excitedly.

"Oh my God, you'll be seen in newspapers, magazines..."

Liling dazed out, her mind replaying what Xin Yong just said.

...you're gonna walk in with no1 most handsome guy in China!, the whole world is watching this party tonight, BFF this is fame knocking on your door!...

Was she ready for this type of fame?

Everyone would know she had a backer in the industry and if she ever succeeds, no-one would want to believe that it was by her own strength that she made it to the top. It would be that it was Liu Wei who made her where she is. But was that what she wanted?

Liling was knocked out of her daze when Xin Yong started pulling her out to where the cars where parked.

She turned back to look at Liu Wei who was walking together with Jin Yue and discussing. Their eyes met and she quickly looked away.

No, it was not what she wanted...

There were two limousines parked in the large compound and two men standing outside each of them.

She recognized the one standing beside the white one immediately. That was Liu Wei's secretary, Wang Feng.

As the approached, Xin Yong walked over to the black limousine and called on Jin Yue to come over quickly.

Liu Wei walked over to where Liling was standing and slid his arm around her waist.

"What's wrong? "

He had noticed the uneasiness in her eyes the moment she looked at him. He knew something was not quite right.

Liling smiled at him and replied;

"In the car... "

He nodded and Wang Feng immediately pulled open the car door. Liling stepped in and Liu Wei helped her put in her dress train before he stepped in after her.

"So what's wrong?"

Liling had been staring outside the night's sky unblinkingly.

She was really bothered on how to explain herself to him.

"Baby, please talk to me, you're getting me worried."

Liling turned around to look at him, she stared at him for a while then leaned in and hugged him tightly around the neck.

"Liu Wei, can we not walk in together? "

Liu Wei froze abruptly. He felt the arms around his neck tighten, as though she noticed his body state.

"Baby please, I don't want everyone to think that I'm using you to climb up the ladder of fame.

Please, baby, I don't want to get all popular this first night, and then much will be expected of me. I want to slowly climb up, not at a go, please, I'm so sorry. I love you so much, but I don't want to steal any limelight for now! "

Liling cried in his arms.

To say he was not eager to show off his girlfriend to the world would be a lie, but it would not be in exchange for her happiness. Which was his priority.

"Hey, hey, don't cry, you'll ruin your makeup."

Liu Wei pulled her up to look at him. He took out his handkerchief and wiped her eyes. Her makeup was waterproof so it did not stain.

"Wifey, this is your day. We'll do what you want and when you want it okay?. I won't rush you into things you don't want to do. Anything you decide is fine by me, I'm just here to help you whenever you need help and not to make you uncomfortable. "

"Liu Wei... "

Liling called, her pitch black teary eyes watched him unbelievably. She was surprised that he agreed to her request without thinking twice.

"My love... "

Liu Wei answered chuckling softly.

"I love you so much. Oh my, I wish I can just kiss you now! "

Liling blushed heavily as she hugged him again. Liu Wei hugged her back and kissed her neck.

"You smell so good. Why is there a party today? I wish we can just turn the car around and get into bed."

Liu Wei joked.

"God, where can I find another man like you on earth? It's not possible, you're one in a billion! "

"You changed your hair shampoo?, it smells

nice."

"Liu Wei! can you concentrate now!"

Liling smacked his arm jokingly. The both of them burst out laughing.

"So how will you walk in?"

Liu Wei finally became serious. Liling sat back on her seat as her brows creased worriedly.

"I really don't know. What if I sneak in? "

"Why should you sneak in? "

"Or, should I walk in with your secretary?..."

"No! "

Liu Wei cut her off immediately.

"You are not walking in with any other man!"

"Baby, we're not arguing, it was just a suggestion."

Liling giggled at his jealousy and pecked him lightly on the cheeks.

"So what are we going to do? "

She asked looking worried.

"The only option is you going in through the back door when everyone is busy with the VIP on the red carpet."

"So what about you? you're an important figure so you must surely use the red carpet, are you going to walk in alone? "

Liling asked looking concerned. Was he going to find a random girl to walk in with now that she was not ready to go in with him?

Just the thought of him walking on the red carpet with another lady made her heart clench.

"Yeah, I'm going to use the red carpet as I've always done, and that is with my able secretary, Wang Feng. "
