A Billion Dollar Exchange 69 The figure behind the door

"Liling, how could all these happen and you couldn't even tell anyone, not even me? "

Xin Yong complained bitterly, she was soft hearted, such that when Liling narrated her story, she had started crying.

They sat under a shade outside the hospital, Xin Yong's hankie was almost soaked with tears.

She couldn't even believe that all those things had happened and Liling was still strong.

"Yong Yong, you stop crying, I don't want to cry too"

Liling replied as she wiped Xin Yong's eyes.

"Liling, you're the strongest person I've ever met, I should be the one consoling you instead of the other way round.. "

"Haha, I've cried so much that I can't cry again and I don't think there is anything on planet earth that could make me cry this much again"

"Liling, I'm so sorry for not being there for you, what kind of a friend am I?

Xin Yong apologized and leaned over to hug Liling tightly, not wanting to let go.

"It's okay, it's past, let's face the future, that's what's important now. "

After sometime, Xin Yong put herself together and Liling continued her story, at the end Xin Yong was left mouth opened.

"Don't tell me it's the same Chang Ming?, what the! and I thought of him as a gentleman!, and Mr Liu Wei, he's so adorable and reasonable.

Liling, such men don't exist everywhere, you just complete your part of the deal, and Jin Yue said that he likes you, who knows... "

"Xin Yong!! this is business, and it's strictly formal. Don't bring love into it"

Liling cut her off immediately.

"But like seriously, I don't know what you are afraid of, how can you just count off all men, just like that!.

Jin Yue is different, and I'm sure Liu Wei is too..."

"Xin Yong dear, I myself can't even point out my main reason, because obviously they are many.

But have you ever thought of the implications of after falling in love with Jin Yue, you realize it wasn't real?

The problem is not about me loving someone, it's about that person not loving me too. I don't want to make mistakes, so it's better not to try at all"

Xin Yong thought for a while, her mind wandered around what Liling just said.

"Liling, Jin Yue is different. He's definitely different. "

"Yes, he's different because you are beginning to like him"

"No!" Xin Yong immediately denied, when she realized her abruptness, she mellowed her tone and repeated.

"No, I don't like him, I just know he's different. I feel it."

"Haha, I know. That's how it starts, you are definitely falling for him" Liling teased her and Xin Yong nudged her angrily.

Liling remembered the email that was sent to her and she turned to ask Xin Yong

"Did you receive a message from X-dynasty?"

"Yes!, it says we have a meeting this Friday, did you get the email too? "

"Mmm"

"That's great, we'll go together, when you're ready just text me; I'll come over and we'll go together "

"Okay"

Liling replied, they talked about other random things and after sometime, Liling took Xin Yong to her father's ward, but they didn't enter inside, they just stood by the window and watched him from the outside.

Xin Yong didn't want to cry again, so she didn't stay for long, after bading her friend goodbye, she left the hospital.

.....

"So that's what you've been up to recently, bro, you are really bad!!, and here I was thinking I was the baddest kid in Beijing, not knowing you are a silent killer!

So the almighty Liling would be living with you in the same house, under the same roof, and I'm sure she'll be staying in the room next to yours if not in the same room!"

"Jin Yue, this is purely work, it's a deal. It's not like there is something else involved.."

Liu Wei replied feigning seriousness. His joy had known no bounds since the day Liling came by. He had left work early that day and decided to call Jin Yue over for a drink.

"Haha, like seriously? My my, this is the funniest joke I've heard on planet earth.

It's a business contract but you made her your personal maid, not even a cook or a cleaner. She could even do the dishes if you are so generous, but no, a personal maid, so she could dress your bed, prepare your bath, prepare your clothes, call you to eat... haha..."

"Jin Yue!, can't you just pretend that its just nothing for once, must you always be a jerk! " Liu Wei snapped at him, it was obvious he was embarrassed that his ploy had been discovered.

Jin Yue laughed hysterically, he shook his head at his tricky friend.

They sat in the living room chatting away but didn't see the figure behind the door who was listening to their conversation.

'Someone Young Master likes is coming to the house? '
