135 Well wait... (2/2)

”She's getting married! She's getting married! ”

” ”

Liu Wei was caught off guard. Her grip on his neck was so tight that he found it hard to breathe.

Immediately, the lights to the auditorium came back on and Liling, realizing what she was doing quickly released him and straightened herself.

”Sorry... I was just carried away. ”

Liu Wei, didn't think much of it, he turned to tell her it was okay but his words stuck to his lips.

'Did she have such weak tear glands? This little display made her cry this much? '

Liling, noticing his gaze, repeated her apology, but seeing that Liu Wei was still staring at her, she lifted her hands to her face.

”Don't touch it, you'll ruin your hands.”

Liu Wei quickly held her hand. He instinctively took out his white hankie and held her face softly whilst wiping her ruined mascara and makeup off her face.

”You have ruined your makeup, did you really have to cry that much? ”

Liling who had been staring at his face which was very close to her, felt her face burning at his touch. She had wanted to reply to his question but her words stuck to her her throat. No matter how much she tried to speak, no words were forthcoming.

Liu Wei noticed her gaze but didn't want to ruin the moment, so he didn't look at her eyes.

Keenly wiping her face gently, he asked again.

”Why didn't you use the water proof makeup? ”

At this point, Liling blinked her eyes. She remembered that Liu Wei had furnished her room with different brands of make up when she first came to the house, and she was sure those were water proof.

So, which excuse was she going to give that wouldn't seem as though she had rejected those gifts?

”I... didn't look at the makeup kit I carried... I was in a hurry. ”

”Hmm...”

Liu Wei replied with a single word. When he was through, he released her face and retracted his hands, putting the hankie back into his pockets.

The couple at the stage had left for their seats. Liling couldn't even spot them because of the many people who had gone to congratulate them on their engagement.

...

As the joy overflowed, no one noticed the man who sat with another. His gaze hadn't left Liling for one second. A faint smile spread across his lips as he watched the girl strain her eyes to catch a glimpse of the new couple.

”Young Master, do you want her?”

The man by his side asked keenly. He had noticed that his master hadn't stopped looking at the woman beside CEO Liu Wei, and that woman, frankly speaking, was quite too pretty.

”Isn't it obvious? ”

”But..., it seems, CEO Liu Wei had taken a liking to her. Don't you think... ”
