173 He asked me out... actually (1/2)

Liu Wei's phone vibrated on the long meeting table.

He was currently in a meeting with the company managers. Da Xia, the Chief Accountant talking, she put on the best smile and spoke elegantly.

Almost all the staff liked her, at first, they were afraid that she would not be able to manage the accounts department well, since she was new and the chief accountant who was there before, got transferred all of a sudden.

But to their surprise, she exhibited a great deal of professionalism and hard work which did not go unnoticed. Apart from that, they had sometimes seen her in the company of the chairman, who was Liu Wei's father, and obviously no one would want to get on her bad side.

Some even gossipped that she was the future First Lady, while others said she was Liu Wei's father's mistress. But either of them, she was still someone you wouldn't want to joke with.

She was beautiful and outstanding, always had that 'I love you' smile plastered on her face for everyone. She won over the heart of almost all the staff in the company, except obviously for Liu Wei, who doesn't even notice her. His eyes were of course, for a certain someone who he was currently thinking of at that moment.

The meeting was to take three long hours, they had only stayed for an hour but Liu Wei was already bored. He picked up his phone to text Liling, since he was sure she'll lighten up his mood.

He tapped on his screen and the phone instantly lit up, his eyes flashed on the message icon which was notifying him of a new message.

Tapping on the icon, his whole system froze in place by what he saw. His hairs stood upright as a deep red blush formed on his cheeks.

”Baby...”

Her message was only one word, but it was capable of turning him red as a tomato. He never knew she was that shameless!

It took him a whole minute to recover from the shock, he instantly tapped on the message box and began typing, a grin apparent on his lips. The meeting totally forgotten.

”Wifey..., sorry I couldn't reply on time, I am currently in a meeting(so boring!), are you home?”

Liu Wei stared at his words for sometime before clicking send. He anxiously waited for Liling's reply. He could feel himself getting excited by the second.

Liling had been staring at her phone for the past ten minutes waiting for Liu Wei's reply. She lay on her bed and eating peanuts, not knowing what else to do.

She had jokingly sent the message and was excited about it at first but Liu Wei took so long to reply. She reasoned that he might be busy with work, so she didn't think much of it. Exiting her message app, she decided to play a board game.

The game had not fully loaded, before her phone vibrated and a message notification popped up on the screen.

He had called her wifey!!

Liling could feel herself getting red all over. She mistakenly kicked over the bowl of peanuts as she squirmed around excitedly on her bed.

Remembering that she had not texted him back, she quickly picked up her phone from the bed.

”I'm home, and it's boring here too. But since you are very busy, I can't ask you to come back home. By the way, I made coconut cakes and cookies, come home early else, I'll eat them all!”

She stared at the texts while picking up her littered peanuts, before clicking send. Before she could drop her phone and concentrate on the peanuts, it vibrated again.

”I'll be back soon.”

Liling smiled and sent an 'okay!' before dropping her phone finally.

It was still twelve o'clock, so she was not expecting him till the next five hours or more. She had laid sprawled on her bed since morning, no-one was at home, so there was no-one to talk to.

She had only washed her mouth, eaten her breakfast and returned lazily to bed. After putting back every piece of peanut back into the bowl, Liling dragged herself off the bed to take a bath.

As she stood up from the bed, her phone began to ring. She immediately dived back into the bed and picked up her phone, thinking it was Liu Wei, but her grin shrunk when she saw that it was Xin Yong on the line.

”Xin Yong!!, seems you're only concerned about your hot fiancé that you've forgotten your best friend right?”

She screamed, not waiting for her friend to speak. Though she was expecting a call from the love of her life, she was still happy to speak with her best friend.
