A Billion Dollar Exchange

302 So Ho

By the time they left the house it was already dark; Jin Yue didn't want to let her go but he had to;

As they drove by a 24/7 pharmacy shop, he stopped the car;

Xin Yong creased her brows, wondering why he had stopped suddenly;

''We… we didn't use protections, so I was wondering, if we should get some after sex pills? ''

Actually, he had been thinking about it since, but he didn't know how to tell it to her, he didn't want to get her pregnant against her will again; not after what happened the last time.

Xin Yong's frown turned into a smile when she saw his concerned expression;

''Awnn, how very thoughtful, but you don't need to worry, today is my safest day, so unless you are a superhuman, you can't get me pregnant. ''

She said smiling;

''Ow, okay…''

Jin Yue replied, a small blush tainting his cheeks;

No-one talked for a while; given how awkward the situation had become;

''How can you be so handsome when driving? ''

She asked all of a sudden, a blush on her cheeks;

Jin Yue's blush which was about fading reappeared again; he lifted his hand to breeze though his hair;

''Oh my…! ''

''What? ''

He asked, turning to look at her;

''That was so hot! Do it again, do it again; let me make a video, ''

She said, dipping her hand into her bag and pulling out her phone;

Jin Yue laughed;

''I'm so not doing that again! ''

''Please! Please! ''

She pleaded, starting the recording and making puppy dog eyes;

He knew he couldn't keep saying no, so he quickly did it again, earning a laugh from her;

''My husband is fucking hot! ''

She screamed; ?her eyes curved into crescent as she stared at her phone.

Jin Yue was glad, he loved the way she was able to smile; but most importantly he loved that he was the reason for her smile.

…

''Baby, where are you? ''

Liu Wei asked as soon as he heard Liling's voice on the other side of the line. He had left the ancestral home early after greeting the elders; when he got home, Liling was not in; and it was just 6 am in the morning.

He had called for about three times before she finally picked the call; worry etched all over his face as he wondered where she was off to so early;

''Are you home already? ''

She asked, avoiding the initial question;

''Yes, I'm home and you're not in; ''

''Yes ... erh, I'm at the company, just wanted to try some new songs, I'll be home late today, so don't worry about me, erm, the pizza is still in the fridge, you can heat it up in the microwave…''

Liu Wei furrowed his brows;

''Baby, are you perhaps, avoiding me? ''

As though he had read her mind, he asked in a low tone;

''No, no, why would I avoid you, have you done anything wrong? No, I … I just felt like writing some new songs, you know I've just been doing shoots lately and it's been long since I did anything new…''

The excuse sounded stupid in her head but she couldn't find a better one to give; it was the best one she could come up with;

Liu Wei was quiet for a moment and Liling held her breath unintentionally, waiting for his reply;

''Nothing bad happened at home, please come back early okay? …

He stopped for a while;

''I missed you …''

She finally breathed out, shutting her eyes tightly;

Actually she had planned to while away time till it night came then she would go home and pretend to be exhausted, and then sleep. She was quite glad that he had told her that nothing happened;

''I missed you too …''

She replied with a sigh; she didn't know how long they would be able to hold on; she knew that as long as she was with him, she would never be safe.

''I'll be waiting. ''

Liu Wei replied and stared at his phone briefly when she cut the call.

…

''Darling, how do you see that woman? ''

Grandma asked as they sat under a shade beside the large swimming pool, sipping their drinks;

''Which woman? ''

Grandpa asked, keeping the glass in his hand on the nearby stool, he opened the magazine had been lying on his laps.

''The one our grandson is engaged to, Da Xia.''

Grandpa remained silent for a while as he thought;

''She's not bad; besides, it's family relations we are after, as long as she has a college degree, and from a respectable family, she's good to go. ''

He replied, not lifting his eyes from the magazine.

''She looked very nice…''

Grandma replied in a doubting manner making grandpa to look at her inquisitively; when she saw his stare, she waved her hand with a small chuckle;

''Don't mind me, any woman would do the same in her position, it's not a big deal. ''

She replied gaining grandpa's interest the more;

''What do you mean by that? What did she do? ''

His brows creased and he dropped the magazine he was about to start reading;

''Oh, Zang Zang didn't tell you? She tried to kill the woman Liu Wei loves, but it isn't a big deal, any woman…''

Grandma had selected her words perfectly, knowing the right words to say in order to prick her husband, she was glad at the effect of the news on grandpa;

''What did you just say? ''

Grandma's brows furrowed,

''You didn't know? '' She raised her brows in surprise;

''Everyone knows, Liu Wei thinks you know too. It's a shame that your son would keep such important detail away from you. ''

Grandpa's face was as frosty as ice, although he didn't accept of the woman Liu Wei wanted to be with. That does not mean he would accept of a killer?!

Turning around, he called a guard over;

''Call my son and summon him here immediately! ''

He was so angry that his son had hidden that fact from him;

In the next thirty minutes, Zang Ru walked over to where his parents sat; he greeted with a smile;

''What did I hear about the woman you engaged to our grandson? ''

Zang Ru just noticed the frosted look on his father's face and the smile on his face diminished immediately;

''What did she do, father? ''

''I should be asking you that! ''

He slammed the magazine on the stool beside him;

''She tried to kill someone and you still want her in this family? Do you want to taint this family name? ''

Liu Wei's father's mouth quivered but no words could come out. He didn't think that his father would find out so soon;

''Do you have anything to say, or are you going to keep staring at us like that? ''

Grandpa blared angrily;
