A Billion Dollar Exchange

315 Marry Me

The next day, after breakfast, Liling and Liu Wei bade the grandparents' goodbye; although grandma didn't want them to leave, she had no other choice;

As soon as they drove out of the compound, Liling took out her phone and called Xin Yong;

She couldn't wait to share the good news;

''hello best friend!! ''

Xin Yong screamed as soon as the call connected; she was about calling Liling when she saw her incoming call;

''hello best friend, guess what?!''

Liling exclaimed excitedly;

''No, you guess what?!''

Xin Yong said in reply, making Liling's eyes widen;

''Wow, it seems we both have surprises for ourselves, okay, let me guess, you're having a baby? ''

Xin Yong giggled and shook her head;

''I'm not through with milking my man, so no babies yet; ''

They both burst into a blushful laughter as Liling turned to see if Liu Wei heard what her friend said;

He was smiling but his eyes were still on the road, she wasn't sure if he was smiling because of what Xin Yong said or whether it was because of how happy he was;

''Alright, let me get to the gist, mom and dad approved of our marriage!!''

''Oh my god!! ''

''Yay!! ''

''I'm so happy for you boo, oh thank god!! Finally! ''

''Well, we're just out of the ring shop, Liling you need to see this ring, it's so pretty! I uploaded it online, you can go check it out;''

Xin Yong said, her smiles almost reaching her ears;

''I'm so happy for you! So when is the wedding coming up? ''

''Uh… we haven't decided on a date yet, but I'm sure it's soon, and yes, you said you had a surprise, what is it? ''

''Oh yes, back to me, I'm getting married!!! ''

''Oh my God! Oh my God! You're kidding me!! ''

Xin Yong screamed her loudest; she felt that her ears were playing tricks on her;

''I feel like I'm kidding myself, but it's so true, grandma and grandpa let me marry him, God, I can be with him now; ''

Liling said, wiping a little tear that was about falling off her eyes;

''God, this is not a news that should be told over the phone!! Where are you guys?!!''

Xin Yong exclaimed impatiently;

Liling giggled before she replied;

''We're heading to the hotel, are you guys coming over? ''

''Are you asking that?! I'm not going to say another word until I see you; like I need to see you as I scream, I'm ending the call now!''

Xin Yong said before Liling heard the final beep and the line went dead;

She smiled and turned to look at Liu Wei;

''They are coming over, ''

He nodded and lifted her hand, giving it a light kiss;

When they arrived at the penthouse, Liling headed upstairs to change her dress to something more comfy; after changing her dress, she walked out of the bedroom but Liu Wei was nowhere in sight;

'' Baby? ''

She called as she began walking down the stairs, she had not taken more than two steps when she saw him, bent on one knee, with a little box in his hand, something shone from within it, something she knew of;

A smile washed her features;

''How long have you been kneeling there? ''

She asked as she walked closer to him;

''About a while ago; ''

Liu Wei replied, a light blush washing his cheeks;

''It's so pretty!! ''

Liling said as she approached, she didn't know much about ornaments, but she knew that what was in that little box was nothing less than pure diamond;

She was waiting patiently for him to continue, but he didn't say another word, he just kept staring at her face, for a moment, she wondered whether he was about to change his mind;

When she approached him; all the words he had been memorizing since the previous night vanished;

At that moment he could not believe that he was indeed doing this; that he was about to ask the woman of his dreams to wed him after so long! Words he was forbidden from saying, he was now able to say them;

He was allowed to be with her now;

''Will you marry me? ''

He didn't know how the words formed but it just left his lips out of his control;

''Oh God, why did you take so long! Yes! Yes, I'll marry you. ''

She screamed excitedly; her hand outstretched for the ring;

Liu Wei took her hand and slid the ring slowly into her index finger; as soon as the ring was in; he pulled her into his arms and gave her a savoring kiss;

''I love you so much! ''

''I love you too baby! Oh my God! I'm engaged!! I'm engaged!! ''

Liling screamed as she held her hand up to admire the ring on her finger; it was so beautiful;

After staring at it for a while, she shifted her gaze to Liu Wei;

''I love you, do you know that? ''

Liu Wei nodded as he pecked her forehead;

''You're stuck with me forever now, do you know that? ''

She asked again, and he nodded the second time;

''I love you too, sunshine, more than you can ever imagine, baby. ''

They hugged each other, with smiles on their faces; Liling closed her eyes, relishing the moment that would finally be here forever; they hadn't hugged for long when they heard the doorbell ring;

''I think they are here, ''

Liling said but still didn't let him go;

''mmm…'' He replied but didn't move an inch; as though the people outside sensed what was going on, they didn't stop pressing on the doorbell;

Reluctantly, they let each other go and walked towards the door; as soon as Liling pulled open the door, Xin Yong's scream nearly deafened her poor ears;

Xin Yong hugged her friend so tight that she felt like she was losing breathe;

''I'm so happy for you!! Oh my God!! ''

''Yeah, I'm happy for you too!! ''
