A Billion Dollar Exchange

Xin Yong froze and involuntarily turned to look at Jin Yue, when she didn't notice any funny expression on his face she quickly looked forward and continued climbing the stairs, scolding her brain for bringing up such perverted thoughts out of nowhere.

She unlocked the door and gently pushed it open, the familiar room looked so empty. Xiao Ran's and Richen's things were already taken out. There was just left hers and Lilings.

That was when she remembered that Liling was a little worried earlier on. She exclaimed a little and immediately searched for her phone in her trouser pockets.

"What's wrong?" Jin Yue who noticed her exasperated look walked nearer and leaned on the reading table in front of her crossing his arms.

"My friend, she looked uneasy earlier today, I want to call and check up on her."

Xin Yong replied as she tapped on her contacts icon and searched for Liling's name.

"Who?, Liling? .." Jin Yue asked casually. He didn't realize that Xin Yong didn't know about Liu Wei and Liling. His brows was slightly twitched as he watched her.

"Ye... " Xin Yong stopped in her tracks.

She had never mentioned Liling's name in her discussions with him so how did he know her name.

Much more say it so casually.

"You know Liling? " Jin Yue who hadn't expected that question was thrown off balance. That was when he realized what he had just said.

'How did he make such stupid mistake?. How was he going to explain it to her now? She'll think that he was after Liling and not her, just using her to get closer to Liling! '

His mouth opened and closed but no words came out. He was utterly speechless. Xin Yong didn't want to think of the possibilities, she just smiled walked away from him, and dailed Liling's number.

Jin Yue had wanted to walk to her and explain everything but his feet was pinned to the floor.

The problem was not about the talking, it was that he didn't even know where to start from!

"Liling?, where are you?, what happened? " Xin Yong's concerned voice rang out in the room.

After sometime the voice on the other line spoke up.

"Yong Yong, I'm fine. I'm sorry for ditching you earlier, it's was a just minor problem but it has been resolved now "

The voice chuckled a little to emphasize the absence of any trouble. Xin Yong smiled feeling satisfied that nothing was wrong with her.

"Liling, you made me so worried about you?, ..Okay call me when you are done.. I'll be going back home this evening... okay see you" She waited for a while before cutting the call, the awkward situation returned as soon as she was no longer answering a call. She slowly turned and strode over to her bed and started packing her few things.

"Sweet, don't over think it, it's just... "

Jin Yue didn't even know what to say, he even regretted opening his mouth in the first place.

Xin Yong didn't interrupt him, it was obvious that she wanted to listen to him, but he was pitifully dumb at the moment.

"Okay, the thing is, there's ... I mean, I have a friend who likes her" He finally blurted it out eventually. Xin Yong turned her head to glance at him before returning to what she was doing.

"How am I sure it's not you who likes her.."

Jin Yue couldn't remain where he was anymore, he walked to her, swiftly turned her around and hugged her as though his life depended on her.

"Please Sweet, believe me, I don't know how to explain it to you, you just believe me, okay. I don't like her, I'm serious, please believe me.."

That was the first time he ever felt insecure, so unsafe like something he loved was going to be taken away from him. He panicked that she may misunderstand, and he knew that just the mere tell her to believe him can't make her do so. But that was the best he could do.

Xin Yong was taken unawares, she wasn't expecting that he would hug her, her nose and cheeks reddened as his cologne drifted into her nostrils.

Gush!, she felt like staying like that forever. He smelt so good, and his body, so hard!. It seems he works out a lot. She could feel his abs from his shirt.

Xin Yong had totally forgotten the matter at hand and didn't know she had involuntarily hugged him back.

Jin Yue froze and looked down at her. He couldn't read anymore expression from her face, if she was still mad at him or not.

"Sweet I'm sorry, you're the one I want... "

Jin Yue talked for a long while but when he didn't receive any response, he started calling her.

It was after the third call that Xin Yong was bolted out of her perverted thoughts. She quickly retracted herself from him and coughed a little. Looking up to him she glared at him.

"It doesn't even matter if you are lying or not, I will cut off your legs if I see you with another woman, and that woman, I'll skin her alive!"

With that she turned to her open traveling bag and continued arranging her things. She looked comported from the outside but only her knew how embarrassed she was.

To think that she forgot herself in a man's arms!

Jin Yue burst out laughing. He was not expecting such reply from her. He laughed heartily and couldn't help but ask.

"Sweet, are you jealous? No, no you are obviously jealous" He teased her and Xin Yong glared at him.

"I'm not jealous, ....I'm just saying the obvious ..." She replied like a child caught in the act of stealing.

"That's called jealousy! but don't worry Sweet, even if another woman takes me away, I'll find my way back to you "

"I won't even let her take you away in the first place"

Jin Yue couldn't help but laugh again. He loved this side of her, she was very cute when she's naughty. He was cut off from his admiration when his phone started ringing.
