A Billion Dollar Exchange

Liling lifted her eyes to look at him. She shook her head lightly and turned to look at her simmering silkworm pupae.

Liu Wei tried not to laugh, but her facial expression was too funny that he didn't know when he started laughing.

Liling looked at him and nearly cried.

"Mr Liu Wei, please, can I have some of your pancakes? I don't like this food. Please!! I wasn't looking when I ticked it."

Liu Wei laughed more when he heard her sad pleas.

"I told you to forget about the price and pick a meal you like, but no, you want a cheap meal. Better start eating it before it gets cold, unless you wouldn't be able to swallow it.. "

"Liu Wei, I'm sorry, please just one, okay?. I can't eat this, ahh, it's so terrible!! "

Liu Wei burst into laughter again, he looked her beautiful sad face and then said.

"Okay Liling, if you tell me your hobbies, I'll give you a pancake"

"My hobbies?, haha, only?. I love to sing, I love to eat and finally I love sleeping. Finished!. I don't have any other hobbies. "

Liu Wei smiled and passed a pancake on a plate to her. She immediately shifted the simmering silkworm pupae aside and placed the pancake in front of her.

"Will it be enough?, do you need another? "

Liu Wei asked after she had dug her fork into the pancake.

"Thank you Mr Liu Wei, it's so thoughtful of you.."

"Your two most favorite meals? "

Liling's eyes widened as she heard his question, the pancake she was about putting in her mouth fell out.

"It thought you said if I answer that question you would give me pancakes?"

"An answer for a pancake"

"It's not fair!! "

"Alright, eat the one you have..."

Liu Wei feigned disinterest and pretended as though he was about eating.

"Okay, okay, I love sweet and sour soup and fried rice with chicken breasts, my pancakes"

Liu Wei chuckled lightly and passed over another pancake.

"Do you want the juice?"

He asked again after sometime, a smile plastered on his face. Liling glared at him because she knew he was going to ask her another question.

"Your favourite colour?"

"Black.. "

"Black isn't a colour, it's monochrome"

"But it's my favorite color..."

"But it's not a color, alright, another one"

"Liu Wei, you are very cunning, what I know is that black is my favorite color, maybe with a touch of red.. "

"Get some rest, you don't need to work today"

Liu Wei said as they came down from the car.

"I have to go for training."

Liling replied, trying to explain that she didn't have time to rest.

"Isn't it already too late?, you would even be penalized for late coming. Don't worry, you can get some rest I'll call the management."

Liu Wei replied and started walking away. He didn't want to tell her he had already taken permission for her, and he had walked off immediately because he knew she would start arguing about it, so he didn't give her a chance.

Liling stood there for sometime thinking about what he had said. Going there late would attract a penalty, but if Liu Wei takes permission for her, she wouldn't have any problems tomorrow.
