A Billion Dollar Exchange

Xin Yong stood in the elevator and stared unblinkingly at the running numbers, after much hesitation she decided not to go back to the party, she went back to the hotel room and took a hot bath and lay on the soft bed, pretending to be asleep; her mind wandered off to the kiss with Jin Yue.

A blush crept up on her cheeks, she really wished he meant it when he said he wanted to court her. Shaking her head, she pulled the pillow over her head, trying to push out those perverted thoughts.

'Xin Yong, what's wrong with you!'

.....

Richen sat on the spot, staring unwaveringly at the space where Liu Wei and Liling had been. Her eyes dimmed, she bit her tongue to suppress the anger building up inside her.

'Why does she get the best things?, why, why'

The party hall became stuffy all of a sudden. Picking up her wine glass, she downed the contents at a go. Standing up, she picked up her purse and left for the hotel room.

.....

Jin Yue looked around the hall, but couldn't find Liu Wei, neither did he see Liling nor the two other girls sitting with her.

He searched for a while but couldn't find any of them, when he was about to give up, he saw Eva sitting alone, five wine bottles in front of her. She was a bit hazard, her hair in a mess. She was nodding her head, and whispering things to herself.

"Eva.. " His brows creased, he hesitated a little before walking towards her.

"What are you doing... Eva?, what's wrong with you?"

Jin Yue tried to hold her up, she was already drunk. Her eyes red from crying alot. She stared at him for a while, smiled and hugged him tightly around his neck.

"Jin Yue.... how could you not want me... how could you? "

He felt tears on his shoulders, his body stiffened a little. He felt pity for her, letting down his guards, he lifted her up and carried her away.

"Shhh... It's okay... " He tried to stop her from crying out loud. The people around were giving them weird stares.

Eva held him so tight, she didn't want to let go.

She wept on his shirt, rubbing her makeup on it.

Jin Yue carried her to his suite and laid her on the bed. He removed her shoes and tucked her in carefully. But as he was about to stand up, she grabbed his arm.

"Don't go..., please... don't leave me... "

Her eyes fluttered open as she held him arm, Jin Yue was perplexed, he tried to release himself from her grasp. But she immediately held him with both hands.

"Please... don't.... leave me... " She cried again, a tear escaped from her eyes. Jin Yue was shaken. He looked at her for a while and later adjusted himself beside her on the bed. She snuggled into his arms, a smile on her lips.

After a while, when he felt that she had finally slept, he carefully stood up and left the bedroom.

.....

''You, ...he's your chauffeur? " Liling glanced at Liu Wei who was by her side and then at Wang Feng.

"I'm not a Chauffeur... I'm his personal Assistant.."

Wang Feng said almost immediately, his voice a bit louder than normal.

"Your P.A?, ha!, how could you have such P. A! It's obvious he didn't go for driving lessons...."

Liling ranted on and on, she didn't realize how quiet the car had been. It was not until Liu Wei chuckled a little that she came back to reality and remembered they were heading to the hospital.

"Mr Liu Wei, I'm not ill, really, to be frank, I just wanted to sleep, but I didn't know how to say it ...so I lied. I'm sorry"

She pleaded with him as a of blush of red appeared on her cheeks.

Liu Wei wanted to listen to her but on a second thought, he decided not to. If he did, he may not get to be this close to her again. So he must cherish it while it lasts!.

He smiled at his mischievous thoughts and turned to face Liling. Because Liling had been begging him to let her go, she had moved too near to him, so that when Liu Wei turned he was just few inches from her face.

Liling didn't notice the closeness until he turned to face her,

Those eyes!

She immediately bolted backwards, adjusting her position near the other end of the seat.

Liu Wei smiled a little, then he asked her seriously.

"Are you through with your exams? "

"Mmm"

"Anything serious going on in school?"

"No"

"Good then"

Liling replied to his questions without thinking, it was after he had answered her that her brain started functioning properly.

"No, no I mean, yes, there's an assessment taking place tomorrow... gush!, how could I forget something so important. I have to leave now, dear crazy driver, could you please turn the car around... "

Liling immediately smiled at Wang Feng, but the next sentence by Liu Wei caught her off guard.

"Which assessment, when your exams are over? "

Liu Wei creased his brows as he stared at her inquisitively.

"Uhmm... Mm, haha, it's complicated actually... Haha, I'll just be going back first, you shouldn't worry about me, dear driver could... " She turned towards Wang Feng again, trying to urge him to reverse the car.

"Alright then, I'll just call your Vice Chancellor..."

Liu Wei made to bring out his phone, Liling's gaze widened as she watched his movements.

"Noo... " She immediately grabbed his hand that were reaching out to his pocket.

'Gush, how can a man's hand be this soft!'

"I mean, you don't need to call anyone, haha, I'll just go for the checkup, it's not a big deal"

Liling smiled still holding onto his hand. Liu Wei stared at her face. That was the closest he had admired her.

Big dazzling eyes, dimples, pointed nose... slim lips, those lips looked really soft...

Liling noticed his stare on her lips, and quickly retracted her hands. Her cheeks flushed red.

The atmosphere became a bit awkward since nobody else was talking.

Liling heaved a sigh of relief when the doctor announced they had reached the hospital.

She quickly darted out of the car to escape from the awkward moment. Liu Wei chuckled a little as he came out too.
