A Billion Dollar Exchange

As soon as Xin Yong stepped inside her compound, she started panting heavily.

'What did I just do!!'

It took her all the skills she had learnt from watching Korean movies to be able to put up that act.

Only her knew how fast her heart was beating as she walked away.

The following day was definitely going to be extremely awkward!

When she arrived in her room, she immediately ran to the window and peeped outside to check if Jin Yue was still there.

'God, what's he still doing standing like that!'

At that moment Jin Yue immediately turned to look at her window, and even though the lights weren't switched on, she felt as though he was looking straight at her.

She immediately closed the curtains and stepped back, her heart beating rapidly.

After about five minutes, she looked outside again but he was no longer there, he had left.

She quickly retired to bed, and tried to catch some sleep after calming her beating heart.

.....

"Baby, Come quickly!!. This Liling is a bitch. Come see her comment on our post. God!, I wish she'll just disappear from the face of the earth."

Richen screamed as she saw Liling's comment. She had come to Chang Ming's home to see him. Chang Ming was just walking into the parlour when he heard her scream.

He frowned but did not hurry up to her.

Walking to the adjacent seat, he made himself comfortable.

"Just ignore her, Richen, you.. "

"Ignore her?, what joke!!. How could you tell me to ignore her when she obviously mocked the both of us. Did you even take a look at this before saying that? "

"I've seen it."

Chang Ming responded casually. He didn't even raise his eyes from his phone when he replied her.

Richen frowned upon hearing what he had just said.

'Meaning that he wasn't even offended by her comment, does that mean that he still liked her?'

Her frown increased as those thoughts flooded her mind.

"What do you... "

"If you reply her, she'll know that you were affected by her comment, so it's better to ignore it."

Chang Ming who had just realized that she was going to misunderstand him immediately found a random excuse for her.

The truth was that he had never liked Richen. He just asked her out to make Liling regret ever rejecting him. But after everything he had done, Liling didn't even glance at him twice talk more of coming back to him.

It was after the last incident with her father that he realized that he had just been pouring water on stone. When he read her comment, his mind replayed his previous actions and he realized how stupid and childish he had been.

That moment he had hated himself for everything, although he regretted doing what he did, he decided to just let her be and try to like Richen.

"Oh, okay. "

Richen replied when she heard him. Even though she agreed, in her heart she swore to get back at Liling one way or the other.

....

When Liling woke up the next day, Liu Wei had already left for work. She felt glad that she wouldn't have to serve him that morning. She busied herself with cleaning up his room and making his bed.

When she was through, she went back for a bath and then downstairs for a good meal. Kim and Yan Ran were eating when she came to the dining table with her food.

The little messed up table showed that others had already eaten and left. When she arrived at the table, her eyes met Yan Ran's for a split second and Yan Ran immediately retracted it.

Kim waved at her gleefully, since her mouth was filled with food, she could just smile sheepishly.

Liling took her seat and busied herself with her meal. Kim talked often and she responded when it was needful.

"Did you prepare Young Master's bath before he left? "

Yan Ran who had been quiet all along suddenly cut in. The two turned to look at her in surprise. It took a while before Liling realized that she was referring to her.

"No... , he had already left when I woke up"

Liling answered her nonetheless. Kim just watched them both with clear surprise.

"You should rise early if you don't want to lose your job. Young master needs his bath prepared before six in the morning."

With that Yan Ran stood up and left the table.

Now it was clear. She was obviously annoyed that she had been replaced by her and it seems she likes Mr Liu Wei.

Liling stared worriedly at the departing figure, she finally understood the reason for the cold shoulder.
