A Billion Dollar Exchange

144 I'm afraid...

Liu Wei gently put Liling's legs back on the bed and used the quilt to cover her properly. He lifted her head slightly and placed the pillow under it, as he was about retracting his arm, Liling suddenly rolled over and hugged him on the waist.

"??!"

Liu Wei was taken aback by her sudden action. Wasn't she sleeping just now? How come she...

He immediately peeked at the girl below him only to realize that she was still sleeping and she had just acted out of reflex.

He heaved a sigh of relief and waited for a while for her to delve deeper into her slumber, after about a few minutes, he tried releasing her grasp from him but surprisingly Liling shifted closer to him and placed her head on his thighs hugging him tighter.

Liu Wei's entire body froze at this minute. It took his a long time regaining his senses. He nervously looked down at the petite body below only to find out that she was still sleeping!

Was she dreaming?

Her face was calm as though oblivious of what she was doing to him. Liu Wei didn't know what to do at that instant, her grip on him was tight.

After sometime he decided to move her quietly.

"...ahh... Liu Wei... why are you going away? ... please... don't go... I'm afraid..."

Liling cried and hugged him the more, her body shuddered lightly, obviously afraid that he wanted to leave her.

Hearing this, Liu Wei was shocked. He was very sure that this woman was deeply asleep, so was she dreaming of him?

Haha... this night was really full of surprises!

After seeing that she was not going to let him go anytime soon, Liu Wei adjusted her on the bed then lay beside her quietly.

As soon as he lay down, Liling threw her arms around his waists hugging him tightly.

"Don't go... "

It was a soft murmur but Liu Wei heard it clearly, his heart immediately melted and all his willpower faded away that instant.

This woman was really his weak spot.

Affected by her cries, Liu Wei immediately held her closer and lightly patted on her back.

"I'm here... I'm here... I'm not going anywhere...not going anywhere"

He could feel her tensed body calm down and her breath normalize.

He knew that there was nothing like sleep for him that night, but just the feeling of her sleeping in his arms was a feeling he could kill to have and he couldn't trade it for anything in the world.

That's how the night went for the duo, one deeply asleep the other fully awake, both happy in their own world.

...

After Liu Wei had left with Liling, Jin Yue and Xin Yong remained in the room chatting away before they finally decided to leave.

Jin Yue helped Xin Yong to her feet and she quickly arranged her dress, then picked up her handbag and they both left the room together.

He opened the car door for her and after she had sat down, he did her seat belt before walking over to the driver's seat.

"I would take you home now, it's quite late, your parents aren't home right? "

Jin Yue finally spoke up for the first time since they entered the car. Not hearing any response from her, he turned his head to see that she was staring outside her window.

"Sweet?..."

"Let's go home... to your home... "

" "

Jin Yue's eyes widened instantly, he couldn't believe what she just said. The car became utterly silent for a good thirty seconds before he finally replied.

"Okay... we'll go home then... "

Xin Yong who was staring outside turned to look at him and smiled, then turned back to continue watching the road. Jin Yue couldn't quite place while he was feeling nervous.

She just said to sleep in the house because it's quite late right? So why am I feeling this way? is not as if she had not slept over before!

The more he thought about it, the more apprehensive he became. His grip on the steering became firmer and his knuckles were turning white.

God... it's just a sleepover, what's happening to me?

Jin Yue cursed internally, he nervously looked beside him only to find out that he was the only one having his thoughts in the gutters, Xin Yong was sitting calmly beside him with no emotions written on her face as though eagerly waiting to get home and have a good night sleep.

Seeing this, Jin Yue quickly tried to think straight, he immediately focused on his driving, it was just torture to think about something that would never happen.

When they arrived home, Jin Yue keyed in his password and opened the door allowing Xin Yong to walk in first.

Xin Yong walked into the house and made her way to a large cushion, where she sat and removed her heels.

"Finally!... "

She exclaimed as her feet came in contact with the cold floor. Jin Yue who was just entering the parlor chuckled when he saw her lightly tapping her feet on the floor.

"Sweet, this will be the last time you'll sleep over and I'm not prepared, I'm very sorry but you will have to manage one of my shirts for the night, okay? "

Xin Yong who hadn't yet thought of what she was to wear, suddenly laughed at the realization.

She quickly nodded with a slight smile,

"Alright then, just wait a minute... "

Jin Yue replied and immediately walked over to his room.

After a few minutes, he came back holding a black shirt in his hand.

"Just manage this for the night okay? "

"Haha, it's okay, it's even long enough, not to worry... "

Xin Yong replied as she took the shirt from him and unfolded it.

"Alright, let me go wash up, ...goodnight then"

Xin Yong replied. Standing up, she picked up the shoes she had just removed and smiled sweetly at him.

"Okay, goodnight..."

Jin Yue replied and shifted slightly, making way for her to leave.

Xin Yong walked around him and walked towards the guest room quietly.
