207 The News

''Not yet, I'm waiting for you. We'll have whatever you choose.''

Liu Wei replied a little flirtingly. Liling immediately looked away to contain her already blushing cheeks.?She fixed her gaze on the menu although she knew better than anyone that her vision was blurry, her mind was currently filled with thoughts of the man beside her.

''Done!''

Xin Yong handed her menu to the waiter who had been standing patiently waiting for them to make their choice. Jin Yue followed suit, thus it was left Liu Wei and Liling.

Liling was still staring at the paper confusedly, seeing that she had taken much time; she quickly ticked on spicy chicken soup.

Raising her eyes, she realized that everyone was staring at her, she creased her brows and with a pout on her lips she handed the menu to Liu Wei.

''I'll have what she's having.''

Liu Wei instructed the waiter while handing the menus to him. He nodded briefly and left to get their food ready.

As soon as he left, Xin Yong took out her phone from her bag.

''Alright, while we're here, let's take a group picture. It just occurred to me that we don't have any.''

She remarked as she searched for her camera icon.

''Ah, that's true, Sweet, you're a darling for remembering…''

Jin Yue responded as he inched closer to Xin Yong, he put his hand around her shoulders and pecked her on the cheeks which turned Xin Yong's cheeks a shade of red.

''Stop, we're outside.''

She lightly hit Jin Yue arms and replied coquettishly.

Her eyes glanced at Liling who was smirking at her, so she immediately raised the phone to take the picture_ putting everyone's mind away from what just happened.

Liu Wei's face was just blank, with no emotions written on it and although he looked handsome, it didn't seem as though he was part of the photo at all.

Xin Yong frowned as she stared at the picture,

''Liu Wei, you have to hold Liling and put on a smile, it looks as though you were beaten before coming here!''

She exaggerated, making Liling and Jin Yue to burst into laughter.

''Let me see.''

Liling requested and Xin Ying handed the phone over to her. She stared at the picture for some time and could not help laughing.

''Alright we'll take another one.''

Liling said as she handed the phone over to Xin Yong. This time she intertwined her arms with his and smiled brightly. Liu Wei wanted to concentrate on the camera but he couldn't resist turning to look at Liling, he tilted his head to the side and his eyes gazed at her supple cheeks, he decided to peck on it lightly.

As his lips came in contact with her cheeks, Xin Yong took the picture.

''Oh My! Epic! Liu Wei I didn't know you were this romantic, wow! You guys are a wonderful pair!''

''My my! What were you up to? Ha-ha and he was here pretending that he was not interested in the picture at all! Don't worry, she's all yours for the night, you can wait till you get home, no need to rush...''

Liling's face was so red now, she had felt Liu Wei's lips on her cheeks, but she did not know that Xin Yong was going to capture that, she was so embarrassed to look at the picture.

Her saving grace was the waiter who appeared with two other waitresses, each holding a tray of food.

The dresses of the waitresses were so short and their cleavages were generously exposed. To be truthful, they were beautiful and they had a beautiful smile on their lips.

The waiter was the first to place his tray on the table followed by the waitresses. The way they dropped the food was so seducing that Liling could not help but frown.

She wondered whether they were serving meals or they were serving themselves!. When they were done, one of the females asked with her eyes fixed on Liu Wei;

''Is there anything else we can help you with?''

''No, nothing, you may leave now.''

Liling replied curtly, glaring daggers at the waitress who just spoke. Her eyes which were on Liu Wei slowly shifted to the angry looking Liling by his side and her bright smile depreciated instantly.

''O...okay, enjoy your meal.''

She replied and briskly walked away, followed by the other two.

As soon as she was out of sight, Jin Yue burst into laughter.

''Oh my! Liling is quite fierce! Liu Wei did you see that? Liling's quite over protective of you.''

Liu Wei did hear when she had acted jealously and he felt so happy, although he had not even spared those women a glance, he was glad that she was over-protective of him.

''I'm not! I just replied to her question, that's all.''

Liling replied defensively, she did not want to seem like a jealous house wife.''

Liu Wei did not want Jin Yue to press on the topic, he was sure Liling would not be able to defend herself and would end up being embarrassed again, so he glared at Jin Yue, signaling him to stop.

Jin Yue smirked at him, holding in his laughter.

''Liu Wei, you have to see this''

Xin Yong who had been staring at her phone all the while, showed it to them, her face in panic.

''What is it?''

Jin Yue took the phone from her and his brows creased slightly. He scrolled up the screen for a while, reading the contents of the page, after sometime, he handed the phone over to Liu Wei.

''Take a look''

Liu Wei took the phone and his calm face frosted up when he saw the contents of the page..

It was a news update which had a picture of him with Liling hugging him in the airport. His heart started beating fast as he scrolled down slowly. When he reached the last page, a relieved sigh left his lips_ her face was not seen.

''Let me take a look.''

Liling opted but immediately Liu Wei put off the phone and handed it back to Jin Yue.

''No, you don't have to see it.''

He replied calmly, his eyes bore concern written all over it. He was worried that she may become scared, so he wanted to settle it without her knowing.
