A Billion Dollar Exchange

Liling bit her lower lip as she stared at the tightly shut door not knowing what to do. She only snapped out of her daze when she heard the sound of rushing water coming from the bathroom. She dragged her legs to the vanity table and blow dried her hair slowly, her mind still thinking about what just happened.

After drying her hair, she applied her facial lotion and changed into her night gown then retired to bed. She was still fully awake when the door of the bathroom cringed open and Liu Wei stepped out.

Her back was facing the bathroom therefore she did not see Liu Wei, but she felt him standing and staring at her. Her body involuntarily stiffened and she held her pillow tightly.

Liu Wei stood there for some time before picking up the hair dryer to blow dry his hair. His eyes involuntarily fell on Liling's reflection in the mirror and his lips pursed into a thin line.

She was hugging her pillow so dejectedly and Liu Wei felt so pained.

At that time, when he saw her, he wanted to take her right there immediately but he stopped himself. He didn't want to do anything she would regret afterwards. He wanted to have her full permission and without restraint, he wanted to give her all of him and without reservations but that was not happening that night, not after what just happened that evening.

After drying his hair, he wore some comfortable sleep wears and walked over to the bed. Liling, who had not yet slept, shrunk a bit as she felt his side of the bed deepen.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

Liu Wei covered himself with the quilt and turned to face her. He stared at her stiff back for a few seconds before leaning in and pulling her into his arms.

Liling nearly yelped since he took her off guard, but she had been pretending to be asleep, she had to continue acting.

She felt Liu Wei's arms on her tummy as he held her close, her heart raced. She shut her eyes tightly as she waited for him to stop moving. Liu Wei knew she was no sleeping, how would a sleeping person be so stiff!

He smirked and pecked her behind her neck.

''Wifey, I know you aren't asleep yet.''

Liling held her breath as she heard his words, she could not help stiffening the more.

''Today's been very stressful; you should get some sleep… Goodnight, sweet dreams.''

Liling felt his hand on her tummy rub on it for a while before it stopped. She waited a while, and thinking that he must have slept, she turned around to peer at his face.

As soon as she turned around, her eyes locked in Liu Wei's. She speedily closed them and pressed her mouth into a thin line.

That night had already been too awkward; she was not ready for another dose of embarrassment.

''You should really sleep okay, I can't sleep until you do.''

Liling felt her heart soften suddenly. She bit her lower lip, trying to hold in a smile. They stayed like that for some time until Liu Wei felt her breathing become even and her face calm. He covered her properly with the quilt then stood up quietly and went to his study room.

''Father… I'll be going home now. I'll come by the house tomorrow.''

Da Xia finally found the voice to speak after several hours of being lost in thought.  Mr. Fang had not found the right words to say, he had promised her that she would marry his son, but there he was, kissing another woman in front of her! Nobody would take that lightly.

He felt sorry, but there was nothing much to do, he could only apologize on behalf of his son and wave her goodbye.

Da Xia was yet to come to terms with what she had seen at the airport. She sat at the back of the vehicle staring into the road, blankly.

Who would have thought that her battle had ended even before she was given the opportunity to fight? Ha! So all these while, he had loved someone and she had been fooling herself thinking that she would be able to win his heart.

She had never thought for one second that she would be the villain in her own love story, not once!

If it was a year ago, she would have let it go, but now, she had come too far, too far to let go. She had imagined herself as the First lady of the BAI Enterprise and X Entertainment, the mother of the heirs to all the wealth of the Fang's family. How would she just let it all go now?

She had really gone too far to stop. Da Xia took out a hankie and wiped the tears that were already falling from her eyes.

If only he looked at her once. If only he acknowledged her, he might have fallen for her.

Was she not pretty? Was she not smart?

What did he want in woman that she did not possess! Just what!

Da Xia screamed painfully in her heart. She was on her own, living her life when she was told that she was destined to marry him. If there were no such ties between their parents, would she be in such mess now?

That woman… She did not see the face of that woman because Liu Wei had hid her face in his chest, she knew she had a very long hair but that was all she knew.

As Da Xia sat at the back seat, thinking of where she had seen such a person before, her eyes sparked.

''Letter… that letter!'' She involuntarily spoke out sitting upright on the seat. The driver peeked at her through the mirror wondering if she was running mad.

Da Xia regaining herself shut her lips.
