A Billion Dollar Exchange

''Hey…''

''Hi, have you slept?''

''No, was just about to. ''

She said, turning around to peek at the ceiling.

''Okay, can you come to your window for a second?''

Xin Yong's brows creased;

''Jin Yue, don't tell me… you are kidding me…''

She covered her lips when she noticed that he had not left. He was leaning on his car and when he noticed her silhouette by the window side, he waved at her.

Xin Yong chuckled surprisingly;

''What are you still doing there?''

''Nothing, just wanted to see you. ''

Jin Yue said, although they were a bit apart, their gazes were locked in each other's.

Xin Yong felt her heart soften. At that instant she remembered the times he would come to see her at night when they just got to know each other, a soft smile brightened her features.

''Go home, we'll see tomorrow, okay? ''

''Just a while more ''

He said, still staring at her.

''Sweet dreams. ''

He said after a while;

''Drive safely. ''

She replied and Jin Yue waited for her to disconnect the call before walking to the driver's side, he glanced at her for the last time before entering the car and driving off.

Just before Xin Yong slept, she called Liling;

''You're so dead!! ''

Was the first thing Liling heard when she picked the call. A hilarious laughter escaped her lips.

''What did I do? ''

''How could you do that to me? What if I died from shock?! ''

''Well you didn't and you are now back together with him, aren't you glad? ''

Xin Yong rolled her eyes;

''You're really unbelievable. God, to think that you cried so much only for it to be fake! ''

Liling laughed; ''Well, that was the only way, if I wasn't crying, you wouldn't believe me, so I had to cry all my tears out. ''

''It was flawless, I couldn't not believe! '' Xin Yong smiled. ''Thank you.? ''

She said after sometime;

''What for? ''\

''For everything, what would I have done without you? ''

Liling's heart fluttered;

''Awnn... What are best friends for? ''\

''He asked me to marry him.''

Liling's eyes widened;

''You're kidding me! '' She exclaimed with a joyous smile. Actually she wasn't expecting anything less form Jin Yue,

''Tomorrow, we are getting our license. ''

''Wow, I'm so happy for you, finally! What of the wedding? I can't wait!! ''

Xin Yong sighed;

''I hate to break it to you, but it won't be happening very soon. My parents doesn't know if this yet, and I'm sure they would be so mad, so it would take a while to persuade them into agreeing; coupled with what I've been through, they wouldn't even hear of it.''

Liling's smile waned;

''yeah, and thank Liu Wei for me, is he there? '' 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

"No, he's sleeping in a room downstairs. ''

''Uh? I don't get? ''

''Well, we are finding it hard sleeping together, so he'll be staying downstairs for now. ''

'"You don't say! ''

Xin Yong burst out into a fit of laughter. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

''Stop laughing! ''

Xin Yong chuckled;

''Okay, okay, it'll be over very soon, take heart. I have to go now, goodnight okay''

''Yeah, goodnight. ''

…

Xin Yong stared at her marriage certificate with her name written beside Jin Yue's, a smile spread across her lips. She couldn't explain how happy she felt at that moment,

They were finally married, she was his legal wife! His wife!

Her heart was fluttering so much that she couldn't stop herself from staring at her husband who was driving with a grin plastered on his face;

He was so handsome, chiseled face, beards in a sexy contoured line, killer lips that was extremely irresistible, not to talk of his drop down dead gorgeous body!

And not only was he so handsome, he was rich too, and if that was not enough, he was madly in love with her.

She felt butterflies all around her tummy. Suddenly, Jin Yue stopped the car near an alley. Her brows creased slightly.

''What's wrong? Why are you stopping? ''

Jin Yue did not reply, he gently put his hand into his pocket and took out a small box.

Xin Yong's eyes widened as her eyes fell on the small box in his hands.

Jin Yue opened it slowly and a beautiful, shiny ring came into view;

''I got it a long time ago … do you like it? ''

He asked after a few seconds of silence. A smile broke out on Xin Yong's face;

''Wow, it's so beautiful, I love it. ''

It was a diamond ring, which was decorated with small shiny stones which made it glow even in the little box. She took it out and slid it into her ring finger.

''Wow, it fit.''

She said smiling at him. Jin Yue took her hand in his and stared at it for a while before raising it up and kissing on the finger which bore the ring.

''Thank you ''

He said, staring into her eyes;

''For? ''

''For coming back to me; you can't imagine how terrible my life had been without you. ''

Xin Yong smiled as she heard his confession;

''Thank you too, for loving me; for not giving up on our love. ''

Jin Yue caressed her cheeks lightly, before inching closer, and covering her lips with a tender kiss.

It wasn't rushed, just expressing his innermost desires in a kiss. They broke away from the kiss after a while and Jin Yue started the engine again;

''Where are we going? ''

She asked when Jin Yue started the engine again;

''It's a surprise. ''

She turned to gaze at him. What type of surprise; a new car? Or was he taking her to meet his family?

Since he said it was a surprise, she waited patiently for them to arrive.
