A Billion Dollar Exchange

Xin Yong laughed and lightly slapped Jin Yue on his arm.

"What?, why are you so quiet? did you date so much women? or are you still a virgin? haha? "

In reality, Xin Yong hadn't put much thought to the question. She just wanted to prevent him from thinking too much when she asks him her real question, but seeing that Jin Yue was speechless, her smile suddenly depreciated. After sometime, she said,

"Oh, don't worry, let's leave this question. Let me ask another, I didn't mean to pry into your privacy. I'm sorry..."

Xin Yong apologized immediately. She could see his reluctance in answering her question, so she didn't want to dwell anymore on the topic. But before she could say anything else, Jin Yue took her hands and kissed it repeatedly.

"Sweet, promise me you won't leave me... "

Xin Yong stared at him surprised.

'What in hell could make her leave him?, was he joking or something? '

"My love, I can't possibly leave you and you know it! "

"It doesn't matter how many people I've dated right? "

Jin Yue quietly pulled open his eyelids to look at her. He was afraid to see the expression on her face.

Xin Yong was confused. He couldn't possibly have dated up to five women right? He was still young and he didn't look like a Casanova?

Thinking this, she lightly nodded at him.

What's more, even if they were upto five, they were in the past, she was the present.

Jin Yue intertwined their hands as he contemplated on whether to tell her the truth or not.

He didn't want to build their relationship on lies and it would be grave if she found out later that he had lied to her.

But again, if he told her, she would see him as a bad person and one who wasn't trustworthy.

At that moment he wished that he had met her before any of those women.

Taking in a deep breath, he replied quietly.

"Twenty five... "

" "

Xin Yong blinked twice, her face devoid of emotions. Jin Yue couldn't really say what was going on in her mind and her next action took him unawares.

Xin Yong burst into a tremendous laughter. She shook her head at Jin Yue and remarked.

"Tsk, Tsk, you don't even know how to lie. Haha, twenty five?, you would have just made it thirty, a whole number. Alright, alright, be serious now. How many women have you dated? "

Jin Yue stared at her speechlessly. He was on the verge of telling her that he was joking but he stopped himself.

If he didn't tell her now, any other time would be too late.

Xin Yong's smile paled as she saw that Jin Yue wasn't saying anything.

"Did you mean... what you... just said? "

Her eyes widened as she stared at him. It was unbelievable.

TWENTY FIVE?!

Jin Yue almost felt like dying. Was he about to lose the love of his life just like that?. Should he tell her he was joking?

The look of disbelief on her face almost made him weep and he immediately fell on his knees.

"Sweet, I'm sorry. I didn't... "

"Oh My God!!! "

Xin Yong shifted away from him, her hands to her mouth.

"Did you... sleep with them? "

Jin Yue bowed his head knowing it was finished.

He really wanted to lie to her. But what if in the future she encounters one of them and hears such from outside?

Since he already started, he should just complete it.

"Yes... "

Xin Yong gulped down hard when she heard him.

'No, he possibly wouldn't have slept with twenty five of them, haha, maybe five or six. Twenty five was too much. Jin Yue can't do that.'

"ALL of them?"

"Yes... "

As soon as he replied, he stretched his hand to touch her and Xin Yong bolted up from the cushion.

"DON'T... touch me. "

She shook her head severally, pointing at him, her lips moved but no words came out of her mouth.

"Sweet, I'm sorry, I didn't love them, I..."

"DON'T... don't go there... twenty five? oh my God. Jin Yue!!!. "

Xin Yong stepped back as she covered her mouth with her hands, gaping at the man kneeling before her in fear.

"Sweet..."

Jin Yue stood up and tried coming closer to her, but as he walked closer, she stepped farther away, seeing that, he tried holding unto her but she screamed.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!!"

She trembled severally and immediately turned around and ran out of his house.

Jin Yue stood at the spot staring at the space she had just occupied. After sometime, his head fell as he felt a well of tears gathering on his eyes.

Just a few seconds after she left, Xin Yong rushed back into the house. Jin Yue lifted his eyes to look at her confused.

She didn't even spare him a glance, just walked around him and picked up her purse from a side stool then ran out again.

Jin Yue collapsed on the ground after she had finally left. He raised up a hand to his hair and pulled at it sorrowfully.

He was in a terrible mess!
