A Billion Dollar Exchange-Chapter 243: I want to be selfish

It was still past four, Liling was sure Liu Wei would be in the office, so she told her chauffeur to take her to the company. When they arrived, she told him to leave since she would be returning with Liu Wei.

This was the third time she was coming here and there was no inscription on her forehead saying she was Liu Wei's girlfriend so she had to go through the normal way.

Walking up to the receptionist she told her that she was here to see the CEO.

''Do you have an appointment, ma?''

The receptionist asked professionally.

''No… but he knows I'm coming.''

''Okay, wait a minute let me call his PA's office. Your name please…''

''Liling ''

The receptionist made a quick call and the next minute she was smiling brightly at Liling.

''You can go up.''

Liling smiled and walked towards the elevator. When she reached the last floor, she slowed down her steps. The first person she saw was the pa; she smiled brightly at him and mouthed;

'Is he in?' The secretary nodded and she pushed open his office door a little without knocking, a sweet grin on her lips.

'Hello, Mr. Boyfriend, can I come in?'

She stuck her head into the opening, and her eyes fell on a drop dead gorgeous looking fellow, who was peering seriously at a file on his hand. When he heard that familiar voice, he lifted his eyes and a smile warmed his features instantly.

Liling did not wait for him to usher her in, she quickly hopped inside and closed the door behind her.

'I was just thinking of you…' Liu Wei closed the file and turned around on his seat, such that Liling who had walked to him could stand between his legs.

She put her arms around his neck and leaned closer making Liu Wei wrap his arms around her waists.

"Hmm… are you sure I saw you this morning?''

Liling asked with a grin and raised brows. Liu Wei tickled her a little making her laugh the more.

''Just that you are particularly mesmerizing this moment, or maybe it's the office.''

She admired his features with a pout on her lips. Lifting her hand, she traced his face, his eyes, and nose; when she reached his lips; Liu Wei opened them and bit on her finger, lightly.

Liling giggled at the tickly effect of his bite. She stared at him for a long while, holding his gaze in hers before heaving a sigh and pulling him in for a hug.

''I met someone today…''

From the moment Liling stepped into the office, she had been thinking of how she was going to tell him that she saw his betrothed wife. She didn't know how he would take it but more importantly, she did not want to see the look in his eyes so she hugged him before breaking the news.

Liu Wei was quiet for a moment before getting her to sit on his thighs. Liling immediately resumed hugging him, perfectly hiding her face behind him.

''Who did you meet?''

''… Miss Da Xia …''

There was silence after that. Liling's grip on his neck tightened a little, Liu Wei could feel the tension all around her.

''What did she say?''

He asked, raising his hand to rub on her back. Liling, who was very stiff a moment ago eased a little.

''She said a lot of things… she said you would leave me; and that you are just playing with me… she said I'm a third wheel…''

Liu Wei raised her head to peer at her face that instant, his brows creased into a frown. ?Liling was visibly shaky. She couldn't look at his face, so her eyes remained transfixed on his shirt. She didn't want to cry, but the way Liu Wei was staring at her made her eyes tear up against her will.

''Oh my, don't cry. You'll stain your pretty face.'' Liu Wei pulled her back to him and Liling nestled in the crook of his neck. She suddenly felt the need to cry more. The next minute, the quiet office was filled with sobs and Liu Wei's unsuccessful attempts at quieting her down. It was as though the more he tried soothing her, the louder her cries became. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

''Liu Wei, are you going to leave me? Please don't leave me… because I cannot live without you… I know being with you makes me selfish but I don't care anymore, I want to be selfish! ...''

Before Liling could make another sentence, she felt Liu Wei's warm lips on hers. His kiss was soft and indulgent_ he sucked on her lips slowly but prominently as his hands held her head in place.

He pried her lips open in the same rhythm and sucked on her tongue. Liling was getting impatient but when she decided to kiss him harder, he suddenly ended the kiss.

''Look at me ''

Liu Wei said, cupping her cheeks. Her face was red and so were her eyes. Her cheeks were flushed and her lips a little too rosy from the kiss.

Liu Wei used his thumb to wipe the tears which still stuck to her face, his eyes not leaving hers.

''I told you, you would stain your pretty face.'' He said dotingly. Pulling her closer, he planted wet kissed all over her face. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

''Liling my love, why do you keep bothering yourself over nothing? '' He asked, caressing her face with a grin.

''You know all those things she said are lies yet you keep crying over nothing. You know what you look like right now?''

''What? ''

Liling asked with a light pout.

''A silly child ''

Liu Wei remarked flicking her nose.

''I'm not silly! ''

''Yes you are, you just cried for nothing! ''

''It's not true, so you want to tell me that if it comes to a point when you must choose between your family's wealth and me, you'll choose me? ''

Liling asked jokingly.
