A Billion Dollar Exchange 314 Five

He had hoped that his grandparents let him marry Liling but he never thought that it would be this fast;

His tried to speak but his lips could not move;

''Wait, you two… you weren't planning on getting married?''

This time grandpa asked, looking serious;

To think he was in a trance earlier on, now this seemed like a dream he really didn't want to wake up from;

What would have made his grandfather change his mind about Liling so quickly? What happened overnight?

''Actually, we have been waiting for your blessings, right suns.h.i.+ne? ''

Liling, who had not woken up from her shock turned to peak at Liu Wei, eyes still opened; at that moment the only thing she could do was nod severally;

''Oh that's perfect! You both should hurry, I really want to carry my grandkids soon; ''

Grandma replied;

Liling could not quantify the joy she felt at that moment, she felt like kissing the h.e.l.l out of Liu Wei but she controlled herself; to think that her prayers had been answered so soon?!

She dropped her hand to the side and searched for Liu Wei's, when she found it, she squeezed it tightly, a grin on her lips;

After the meal, grand mom urged them to sleep over, after the good news of that day, there was nothing they couldn't agree to, Liling was more than happy to sleep over;

As they sat to watch a movie in the Liling room before bed, Liu Wei left Liling with his grand mom and went over to where his grandpa sat outside in the balcony;

He stood for some seconds before sitting down beside him;

''Thank you '' he said after a few seconds of silence;

His grandpa understood what he meant but did not reply, after some seconds; he spoke;

''Do you love her that much? ''

''Grandpa; I love her to the last drop of my blood… I swear to the high heavens!; ''

Liu Wei didn't know when he confessed sincerely; after which a light blush washed his cheeks;

Grandpa chuckled;

''I know; ''

He waited sometime before he continued;

''She lost a child because of this family, it would be quite unfair to drag this along when it's already clear what your choice would be even if I get another woman for you; so I'll let you have your way this time; ''

''Thanks grandpa…''

Liu Wei literally felt like hugging his grandpa like a five year old, he was extremely joyful;

''And I don't want to make you choose between this family and her, so I'll give you my blessings ''

This time, Liu Wei went to his grandpa and hugged him tight;

Grandpa was shocked for a while, after a few seconds he eased up and patted him on the back;

''Thank you so much, thank you. ''

A light smile brightened grandpa's features, this was the first time in years that he was this close to his grandson, it sent a different wave of happiness that he hadn't felt in a while;

After hugging for a while, they both walked inside, Grandma was just putting off the tv when she saw them walk in;

''It's late already, you two goodnight, ''

Grandma said as she walked to where her husband was standing and held his arm;

''Goodnight; ''

Liling and Liu Wei replied simultaneously as they watched them climb up the stairs; as soon as they were safely inside their room, Liu Wei scooped Liling up and twirled her around happily;

''I love you! ''

He whisper- screamed, kissing her all over her face; Liling giggled as she hugged him around the neck;

''I love you too, G.o.d! I'm so lucky! ''

She exclaimed tears gathering in her eyes; she couldn't believe that her prayers could be answered just like that; it felt so surreal, like she was in a dream;

 Her life had been so perfect with him in it, this man standing right before her was her eternal joy; she was lucky, so lucky to be blessed with such a perfect man. Such perfection happened only in romance novels, which she was sure she wasn't in.

Liu Wei pulled her closer and covered her lips; devouring every inch of it like he was starved;

He didn't know why the good news made her lips taste so different, he didn't want to let go;

Cupping her up, he walked them towards the stairs and to their room, not breaking their contact;

Once the door was closed; their clothes began falling of one after the other and before long, they were both on the bed making love like never before.

They lay in each other's arms relis.h.i.+ng the afterglow; an unknowing smile plastered on their faces;

They naturally should have slept after wards, but the good news kept their eyes as bright as torch lights; as though if they close them everything would become a dream;

After long minutes of silence; Liu Wei spoke;

''How many kids do you want? ''

How long had he wished to ask her things like this but he couldn't, once they reached the tip of his lips, he swallowed them back down;

Now he could ask her and feel good, so d.a.m.n good about it;

Liling turned around to look at him a wide smile plastered on her cheeks;

Slowly, she raised her palm to him; her eyes glistening;

Liu Wei, who was waiting for her reply didn't understand until he looked at her palm;

'' Five? '' he asked, seemingly amused;

She nodded, still smiling; Liu Wei burst into a fit of laughter;

''What? Is it small? You want more? We can have seven if you like? ''

At her reply he laughed the more;

''Suns.h.i.+ne; who wants more than three kids these days? ''

''I do! ''

She replied with a pout; ''I don't like how there is an only child in every generation; let's have five or even ten, so the home would be lively and the kids would have siblings to play with; ''

At her explanation; Liu Wei stopped laughing;

She was right, he had never had a lively home, he didn't even know what it felt like to have a sister or brother; it was so lonely growing up;

''Alright, we'll have five then, ''

Liling's lips widened with a beautiful smile;

''Two boys and three girls…''

''yeah, two boys and three girls ''

He was okay with whatever she wanted; his only joy was making her happy; therefore, if she was happy he was happy too;

''let's sleep now, okay? ''

She nodded and nuzzled into his chest;
