A Billion Dollar Exchange-Chapter 104: Why am I like this?

As Liling walked in, the aroma of the meal gently drifted into Liu Wei's nostrils, he lifted his eyes to look in her direction.

"Mr Liu Wei, I'm not a perfect cook, haha, don't judge me with the standard of the cooks in those big five star hotels, okay? "

Liling placed the meal on the coffee table and turned to look at Liu Wei.

"But you said you could cook. "

Liu Wei asked, an amused look on his face.

"Ye..es, I can, but I'm not perfect. Like, the meal is okay for a family dinner, but maybe not for a hotel.."

She said scratching her head a little.

Standing there looking at him, Liu Wei wondered if she was waiting for him to stand up and walk to the coffee table, when he was obviously 'paralyzed'!

"Alright, bring it over here, I can eat here"

"Oh! "

Liling was lost thinking of how she'll feed him. His words snapped her out of her thoughts, she quickly turned around and carried the tray to where he was, placing it on a side stool beside the bed.

She remained standing, obviously figuring out what to say.

"Do you want to eat now? "

"Mmm"

"Should I close the laptop? "

"Mmm"

Liling smiled nervously and bent down to close the laptop putting it away.

"You can sit"

Liu Wei finally said, seeing that she was still standing dumbly on the spot. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

"Oh"

Liling quickly sat down and rubbed her palms together.

Liu Wei nearly laughed, he bit his lips to hold it in.

Liling picked up a piece of chicken with the chopsticks, she placed a side plate under it, to prevent the sauce from dripping then she moved it to Liu Wei's lips.

Liu Wei opened up his mouth and ate the chicken form the chopsticks. Liling involuntarily looked at his eyes, and immediately shifted her gaze and quickly turned to pick another chicken nugget.

'How could someone's eyes be so enchanting?'

She tried not to look at his eyes again, but the point was, if she was not looking at his eyes, she was staring at his lips, and she couldn't look elsewhere apart from his face, since she was feeding him.

'That was her longest night since she started living in that house! '

"It's tasty, who taught you how to cook?"

Liu Wei finally broke the awkward silence in the room, he had wanted to tell her it was the best chicken sauce he had tasted but he changed his mind.

Liling was a very difficult person to please, and she misunderstood things very easily.

Liu Wei knew she had lost her mom, so he didn't press on the topic any longer.

She smiled and picked up another piece. The mealtime went on quietly, she only stopped when he asked for water or fruit juice.

He had eaten enough and told her that he was okay. Liling placed down the chopsticks and turned to look at him and noticed there was a little sauce stain on his jaw and on the side of his lips.

She quickly picked up the serviette from the tray and moved to wipe it off.

As her hand touched his lips, she felt her body freeze. Her eyes involuntarily met his and she quickly retracted her hands. Her heart rate increased rapidly and she could almost feel her hairs stand.

'But, why was she behaving like this? What was wrong in cleaning a stain off one's face for screaming out loud!. What was happening to her this night?'

Liling tried to calm her increasing heartbeat.

"What's wrong, is there something on my face?"

"Ye.. ss.. "

Liling murmured, her eyes never leaving the headboard he was leaning on.

"Alright, help me clean if off"

She instinctively turned to look at him and smiled have off a weak smile.

"Oh.. okay"

She quickly cleaned the stains and immediately stood up carrying the tray along with her.

"Mr Liu Wei, if there's nothing else you need, I'll like to return to my room"

Liu Wei nearly laughed at her facial expression, she was already red with embarrassment. He pitied her and decided to let her go for the night.

"Okay, just help me lie properly, then you can go"
