A Billion Dollar Exchange

165 Do you mean a girlfriend?

He was not thinking. He clearly was not thinking. He had just kissed her without her permission and when she responded, he mocked her for it.

What was he expecting? that she would hug him and thank him for it?

Liu Wei pulled at his head as he held Liling\'s cracked phone. The screen got cracked when it fell on the floor, so he had picked it up when she left the room angrily.

He leaned on the study table as he berated his stupidity. At that moment, he wished she had slapped him across the face. He was clearly joking but the joke was not funny, now he had just lost the friend he had just gotten.

All in one night.

Was he sad? Yes.

He was sad because he couldn\'t understand her well. He acted on his own thoughts, even though he felt it was funny, it always ended in utter disaster.

The last time, he had made her cry, this time, he made her furious!

This was his first time being this close to a woman, so it was quite hard for him to understand her very well.

Observing the cracked phone, Liu Wei could only sigh. He fucked up real bad, he could only imagine how much angry she would be at him at that moment.

Almost immediately, the door to the study flung open and Liling dashed in, her eyes scanned the floor where her phone had fallen but it was no longer there.

She immediately looked up at Liu Wei, only to see her phone in his hands. Liu Wei seeing her, stood upright with her phone in his hands.

"Liling..., about earlier... "

Liling just walked towards him quietly, as she finally stopped in front of him, she snatched her phone from his hand, turned swiftly and left the same way she had come.

Liu Wei was left speechless.

The apology which was about to leave his lips hung to his tongue. He could only stand at a spot and watch her leave angrily.

It was clear now, they were about to quarrel!

...

Liu Wei couldn\'t concentrate at work. During the meeting, he kept on spacing out. Everyone noticed his backwardness more especially Wang Feng, his secretary.

Liu Wei concluded the meeting early and retired to his office. He kept on staring on Liling\'s contact, contemplating on whether to call her or not.

At that moment, Wang Feng knocked on the door and walked in silently into the office.

"Boss, there\'s an important file, the accounts department needs you to look at... "

Wang Feng fearfully walked towards Liu Wei\'s table. He had noticed his Boss\'s distressed stance, and knew better than anybody that it was not a good time, but the file was very important and Liu Wei needed to look through it urgently.

Wang Feng held his breath and approached his table. Liu Wei didn\'t realise that anyone had come in, until his eyes met a file being pushed quietly onto his table.

"This... the accounts departm..."

"Leave."

Liu Wei immediately cut him off. With one wave of his hand, he signaled him to leave.

Wang Feng heaved a sigh of relief and quickly turned to dash out of the office, but as soon as he approached the door, Liu Wei\'s voice rang out again;

"Wait! "

Liu Wei called out, this time, sitting uprightly. Wang Feng, whose hands were almost on the door handle, quietly turned to look at his boss.

"You.. you called me? "

He asked, looking perplexed. Liu Wei nodded and signaled him to come forward. Wang Feng, swallowed hard but obeyed discreetly.

"How do you apologize to a friend whom you offended? "

Wang Feng\'s eyes widened in shock.

Has his boss gotten together with Liling or was it another girl?

Wait!, he didn\'t mention if it was a male or female, so...

"Do...do you mean, a girlfriend? "

Wang Feng asked inquisitively, but the little frown which appeared on Liu Wei\'s forehead made him cough and choke on his words.

"I mean... there are different ways to apologize, depending on the gender of the person involved... "

Wang Feng cleared his throat and explained in a timid tone.

Liu Wei didn\'t reply immediately, he reclined on his seat and thought for a while.

"What if it\'s a girl? "

Wang Feng could feel a blush creep up on his cheeks. He felt as though he was a girl being proposed to by the most handsome guy on China\'s land.

"Well, hehe, if it\'s a girl, you must first know what she likes. Most girls love flowers, red sweet-smelling flowers, haha, some love jewelries and shoes, others..."

Wang Feng continued ranting, Liu Wei felt a headache seeping in. He lightly rubbed his temples and sighed.

The Liling he knew didn\'t like those things. She just liked to eat and sing...

to eat! yes! he had gotten the perfect gift, food!

Standing up immediately, Liu Wei picked up his phone from the table and closed his laptop and strode out of the office, leaving Wang Feng standing dumbfounded at his spot.

...

The first place Liu Wei drove to was a phone accessories shop. He went in and got an iPhone XS Max, after which he went to a gifts shop and got it wrapped perfectly.

Next, he drove to an eatery and bought many snacks and goodies. He left the eatery with five bags of takeaways.

Sitting in his car, Liu Wei glanced at the passenger\'s seat filled with different bags. He didn\'t know if he should head home immediately, what if she was not at home?

Or what if she was still mad and didn\'t want to see him?

Liu Wei rubbed his temples, his head ached from his indecisiveness. Thinking about it, he took out his phone from his pockets and phoned Qianru.

Qianru was surprised to see Liu Wei call her line, he had never called her!

It must be a very important matter for Liu Wei to call her himself!

She wondered what must have gone wrong.
