A Billion Dollar Exchange

Xin Yong stared at him for some time as though fixing the points.

''You're alive? ''

''Yes, I'm alive. ''

''You are not dead? ''

She asked again, a drop of tear falling from her eyes.

''No, I'm not dead, I'm here. ''

She immediately tried sitting up on the bed and Jin Yue quickly stood up and helped her sit upright.

He was so close that his scent wafted into her senses and if she had not believed it before, she believed it now; he was really there.

Without thinking, her arms wrapped around him; for the very first time in months.

''I'm so sorry, I'm sorry! Let's be together now, okay? I'm sorry I couldn't forgive you, I'm sorry…''

She hugged him tightly as tears fell from their eyes. Liu Wei sensing that they needed alone time, wrapped his arms around Liling and they walked out of the ward quietly.

Jin Yue was frozen. He was not expecting her reaction at all.

Although Liu Wei and Liling had said it was a success, he had thought that he would have to plead some more before she would finally be able to forgive him. But here she was, hugging him tight and pleading to be forgiven.

Xin Yong's heart beat rapidly against her chest when she saw that he was not responding; she slowly eased her grip and stared at his face, tears clouding her eyes.

''You… you don't want me anymore? ''

That question threw Jin Yue out of his trance as his gaze locked in hers.

There it was_ that fire, desire, heart longing, unquenchable flame of love, they were all back in her eyes but with an increased intensity.

He had missed her so much that he couldn't even speak at that moment. His eyes stared down at her lips and without thinking; he crashed his lips into hers.

He was so hungry for her. She was too. He couldn't remember when they last kissed with so much desire and want. Jin Yue kissed every inch of her lips and she kissed him back with the same fierceness.

He didn't need to pry open her lips as she opened them up voluntarily.

Their lips and tongues intertwined passionately, each not wanting to let the other go.

Jin Yue cupped the back of her neck deepening the kiss and Xin Yong pulled him closer so she could wrap her arms around his neck.

She had missed him. She missed this. His touch, how he lit her body on fire, how he made her feel, how he took her up to the high heavens.

She was a drug. One he was addicted to. He didn't realize how much he had been deprived until he was able to touch her again. And at that moment, he didn't feel like letting go.

After about God knows how long, Jin Yue finally released her lips. He kissed every inch of her face, her cheeks nose, eyes, forehead, hair, ears…

''I missed you, God! I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. ''

Finally, his months-long heart disease finally left him.

He finally had his drug.

Xin Yong hugged him back and closed her eyes breathing in his scent.

She missed him too.

They hugged quietly, forgetting about everything around them. The only thing that mattered at that moment was the both of them.

''How did you think of that? ''

Jin Yue furrowed his brows.  ''Of what? ''

''Faking your death. ''

She said, smiling.

''it's Liling that brought the idea. ''

Xin Yong giggled. ''That witch, she's so dead! ''

Jin Yue laughed. He had Liling to thank for this, without her help they could never be together again.

''Thank you ''

''For what? '' He asked.

''For not giving up ''

Jin Yue smiled and raised her head to stare into her eyes.

He rubbed her cheeks lightly with his thumb. They were still the same as the last time he felt them;

''I couldn't give up even if I wanted to. ''

He said, smiling.

He was finally happy after so long. She was here with him now, staring at him with so much love. Before their split, he didn't know what he had, until he lost it. Right at that moment, he was going to cherish her to the last drop of his blood.

''I love you, Xin Yong. ''

He said, his eyes said same.

Xin Yong smiled. No matter how much she tried to be happy without him, at that moment she realized that her happiness was only with him.

''I never stopped loving you. ''

She whipered and pulled him down for another round of kiss.

…

''Miss Da Xia, staying here an extra four days wasn't part of the plan. ''

Yan Ran said as she rubbed on her back. Everywhere hurt from the bad situation in her prison ward. Da Xia gritted her teeth as they drove out of the police custody.

''Are you loathing for the extra few days you spent in that den or are you going to feel happy for finally being freed? ''

She asked, holding in her disgust for the woman by her side. She had thought that she was wicked enough, but this woman right here was the devil herself.

''What is there to be happy for? I'm still facing trial for the crime?''

Yan Ran said turning to look outside.

''There is nothing the court can do in this case. There is no evidence and besides, you didn't give the stuff to her to drink directly, she took it from the fridge so, this battle is already won. ''

Da Xia emphasized, driving into a hotel parking lot.

''You'll stay here for now, till everything dies down. ''

Da Xia said as she parked the car and turned off the engine.

When they stepped out, Yan Ran looked around her surrounding;

''Hmm… are you sure he would not find me here…''

''As long as you don't go posting pictures online, you are safe. This is my family's hotel. ''

Yan Ran smiled;

''You did a good job today. ''

Da Xia felt like cutting off those lips she used to utter those words, to think that she had made her spend so much money in bailing her out. If she had known it would get to that extent, she wouldn't have started it at first.
