A Billion Dollar Exchange

319 Impossible to take in

Liu Wei carried her to the room and sat down on the dressing seat, placing her gently on one of his legs; he used the towel to dab on her body lightly till she was thoroughly cleaned; all the while Liling was quiet, not still saying a word; she was staring at him but it felt as though she wasn't actually looking at him; her eyes were bleak and distant as though she was thinking of something else;

He knew she was troubled about something but he couldn't pinpoint what exactly; he had thought back to all that happened from the civil affairs to the hotel; yet he didn't know at what point she became so moody;

The only thing he could remember that got her sober was the text from her manager and besides she had already said that it was a congratulatory message; so what exactly was wrong with her?

Liu Wei thought of a million things as caressed her skin with her pomade;

Liling's chest was so full;

There were a lot of things she was yet to do with him, a million things she wanted to do. He had promised to travel the world with her, was that no longer possible? Was she not going to see him anymore after tomorrow?

No, no! She couldn't take it, he was her life, he had become everything to her, leaving him was synonymous to committing suicide.

Liling was thinking and didn't know when tears seeped from her eyes and dropped onto Liu Wei's palm;

At that moment, his whole body froze;

He immediately looked up at her face; his eyes bright and afraid;

''Sunshine…

Are you crying? ''

He asked; his throat dry; Liling who heard his question shivered in fear; she quickly wiped her eyes and shook her head;

''You are crying/ why are you lying to me? What's wrong? Tell me. ''

He asked cupping her face, making her stare into his eyes;

''talk to me, what's wrong? You're getting me afraid. ''

Her heart was beating against her chest; she didn't know what to do; she couldn't risk her father's life and she didn't want him being worried;

She swallowed a deep breath and said after feigning a pout;

''I'm just overly excited about our marriage; I can't believe we are finally together; ''

She said and hugged him immediately; bursting into tears;

''We've waited for so long baby, it's finally true! It just felt so unreal, I don't know why I feel like someone is going to take you away from me ''

She said, still crying like a baby; Liu Wei was quiet for a moment, before he raised his hand to rub on her back;

''It's okay, I'm here, I'm going nowhere okay? ''

At his statement; Liling's tears increased, he was going nowhere but that did not mean that she was going nowhere too;

She nodded and kissed his neck, staying there for a while before hugging him again;

She said with a smile on her cheeks;

If she couldn't do anything with him at least she could swim with him even if it was for the very last time;

''On the contrary; let's go back to our home, I got some workers to clean it up, we can swim there;

Her eyes twinkled;

''Really? That would be great! But how are we going to get all our stuff? ''

She asked, narrowing her brows;

''Don't worry about that, I'll send some workers to come get them later; just get dressed and let's go; ''

He said and she pecked his lips again before hurrying over to the wardrobe to wear something.

In the next twenty minutes, they were already on the road back to their home;

Liu Wei got some ice cream for her to keep her busy on the way. She was no longer as moody as she was earlier_ or so he felt.

Liling buried her thoughts in the ice cream on her hands, devouring every inch while maintaining her smile to prevent Liu Wei from being worried or thinking that something was especially wrong with her;

She was so fixated on making herself not look worried that she didn't realize that they weren't heading to the former house; it was when they arrived at a beautiful mansion on a low hill that Liling's brows creased; she instantly turned to look at Liu Wei;

''Where are we? ''

She asked as she looked around the estate surprised; he said that they were moving back into the former house; was he planning to see someone before they went home?

''I wanted it to be a surprise; do you like it? ''

Liu Wei asked; a smile on his lips as he pointed at the building;

She was confused for a few seconds;

''You mean … we're staying here? ''

She asked, her eyes twinkling; for a brief moment she forgot that she was to leave him the next day;

''Yeah; I didn't want us to go back to the old house; with all the unpleasant memories, so I sold it. I want us to raise our kids here, it's spacious and there is a playground at the backyard and a swimming pool too; ''

That was too much for her to take in; it was a joyous moment; why was she so sad?

Tears welled up her eyes but she struggled to keep it in;

''It's so beautiful! Baby, I love you so much! What would I do without you? Uh? ''

She exclaimed and hastily hugged him before he noticed that she was crying again;

She remained in his arms and stabled herself before she spoke up again;

''Come on, come show me around! God, I'm so excited! ''

She exclaimed alighting from the car and running towards the terrace decorated with sweet smelling flowers that led to the building;

Liu Wei alighted from the car and walked after her;

Her smile reached her ears as she stood beside the door waiting for him to open it; he took out the key and opened the door; pushing it open, he made way for her to walk in;

''Ladies first; ''

He said grinning; Liling giggled but didn't argue with him; she quickly hopped into the room and was stunned by the sight in front of her;

The living room was magnificent; decorated with beautiful furniture and magnificent glass;

Everywhere reeked of money;

''Wow! This is so beautiful! ''

She exclaimed as she looked around the living room, she walked towards the other rooms, pushing open the doors one after the other and aweing at the sight;

She climbed up the stairs and opened the room with huge mahogany doors, it was their bedroom;

As the doors gave way, she paused as her lips parted slightly;

It was extremely large for a normal room, and there were other room connected to it; the bed was king-sized and the walls bore an inscription in cursive handwriting;

'Together forever'

The bed sheets were designed with love and Rose petals; Liling's eyes clouded again;

She turned around and hugged Liu Wei so tight, bursting into tears;

''God! I can't leave you! '' She said crying out loud;

Liu Wei didn't know the reason for her tears; he thought it to be tears of joy, so be pulled her closer and pecked her forehead;

''You're not going anywhere, stop crying now; you're making me feel bad. ''

He said and Liling swallowed, trying to force down her tears;

She stayed in his arms for a while as she stabled herself;

She knew in the end she'll have to lose someone, it was either her father or the love of her life.
