A Billion Dollar Exchange

She stopped in her tracks and turned back instinctively. There he was, dressed in his white coat with a smile plastered on his long face; Chang Ming walked towards her smiling broadly.

"Liling, what brings you here? " He asked as he peeped into the transparent glass window of the ward, a frown appeared on his face and he immediately shifted his gaze back to her.

She knew he had already seen her dad, so it was irrelevant lying to him about it. Liling smiled a little and walked away from the door.

Chang Ming followed behind her, she led him to the verandah on the floor and stopped when she had successfully left the busy area.

"What happened?" Chang Ming was now very anxious to hear her out. His frown deepened when he noticed her pale look.

Liling hesitated for a while, obviously because she was contemplating whether or not to tell him. In the end she decided to, maybe he could be of help.

"My father needs a surgery... " The tears she had been holding back were forcing themselves out. She swallowed hard and continued sadly.

"They said he needs a million yuan.. "

A gentle breeze blew across their faces as silence engulfed them.

Chang Ming was quite taken aback. He didn't know that it was as grievous as that, that instant he wanted to tell her he would give her the money but his thoughts wandered back to two weeks ago when he came to see her.

Liling didn't actually tell her roommates the true story. That day Chang Ming had asked her out for a dinner but she turned him down.

When he sensed that she was not going to budge, he went on to tell her that he was interested in her and that she should give him a chance.

That day, what Liling told him, no woman had ever said that to him directly to his face.

He knew he was handsome, the female nurses and even female doctors were dying to even get a smile from him but she had rejected him without even thinking twice.

He had never felt so humiliated in his entire life. Chang Ming was a nurse but his parents were quite rich, to be precise, his mom owned a University and his dad, a top rank official in the army.

He was surprised at first at her abrupt rejection, so he went on to talk about his family wealth.

Liling just kept quiet throughout his speech and at the end she chuckled a little but still turned him down without failing to tell him that it was not all girls that were after money and that next time he was interested in someone, he should not ever talk about his parents wealth, and even if he was to talk about anything, it should be about his own personal accomplishments , with that she bade him a farewell, turned her back and left without even glancing back.

It took Chang Ming all the courage he could muster to be able to drive back home peacefully that day.

Thinking back, a sly smile appeared on his face.

'Now she needed help, she would have to succumb to him no matter what! '

"Liling, that is so much money, where are you going to get it from? " He asked with all seriousness, as though really concerned.

Liling kept quiet and stared into space, her mind clustered with different thoughts.

Silence engulfed them again and after sometime Chang Ming spoke up.

"Liling, I will give you the money under one condition.."

Liling froze and she involuntarily turned to look at him. His face was with all seriousness and he was staring right at her.

"I will have to sleep with you. .."
