Until Next Time, My Love
Chapter 1
Citizen
Oh my god! Someone's on the roof!!
Ying's Sister
Ying, there's someone on the roof. I think he's gonna jump?
Ying's Mother
Dear god, someone save him!!
Lu Xiao Ying
But isn't that, that entrepreneur from America? Why's he commiting public suicide? Hey, hold my phone. I'm going to save him.
Kendall's Assistant
Sir! Please don't do this. We can talk it out. Just come down!! I beg you.
Kendall Parkerns
What does it matter.... she's already married anyway..... I have nothing to live for. I should just die!
Lu Xiao Ying
*whispers: So this was why he would destroy all his success and life for? A woman? Tsk. Typical.
Xiao Ying walked forward to the guy while trying to make no noises so he won't be surprised and lose his balance.
Kendall's Assistant
Huh? M-
Lu Xiao Ying
Shh- *whispers: I'll save him
She started to move closer, closer then she immediately took his hand and pulled him backward. Making him startled and land on her.
Lu Xiao Ying
Augh- get off me-
Kendall Parkerns
WHY DID YOU SAVE ME?
Kendall Parkerns
Since you love getting involved so much. Why don't you just die with me!?!
He pulled out his pistol and pointed it right straight at her head.
He was expecting a trembling little girl as a reaction from her. But to his surprise, the girl remained calm. "Loca" was a word that popped in his head.
Lu Xiao Ying
Sir, if you really wanted to jump, you would have done it immediately when you stepped onto the rooftop. But you didn't, you hesitated. Now that I've saved you..
Lu Xiao Ying
If you kill me, you'll surely spend your life in prison. And that's even worse then dying so I suggest dropping your weapon. Please.
He felt weak after hearing her words and slowly he dropped his pistol.
Eventhough he dropped his weapon, given Xiao Ying's nature of being overly suspicious and paranoid, she used the bottom of the pistol and knocked him out.
Kendall's Assistant
Why would you do that? He already dropped it!
Lu Xiao Ying
In case, he pulls any stunts
Kendall's Assistant
*sigh...
Xiao Ying gestured to the staff who were watching from outside the building. After receiving her sign, the staffs finally went to assist the injured .
Ying's Sister
Ying, you were so cool!
Ying's Mother
Yeah, that was amazing but this is not who you are. You wouldn't even save a fish out of water so why would you risk your life to save a man who you don't know?
Lu Xiao Ying
I didn't do it out of generousity. I'm after the rewards that are gonna be given to me after my contribution.
Ying's Sister
Hmph- I thought for once you were being a decent human
Lu Xiao Ying
Well, little sister.
Lu Xiao Ying
You thought wrong.
The three ladies broke into laughter. Then they were interupted by an unknown man.
Ying's Mother
Yes? What can we help you with?
Rong Feng
I am the CEO of The Seven Kings. And I would like to speak to the girl behind you.
Ying's Mother
Oh, my daughter? Of course!
Lu Xiao Ying
So you own this building?
Rong Feng
Yes, this building is very new so a suicide scandal won't do us any good. Not to mention a multi billionaire being the one started the scandal.
Lu Xiao Ying
So you're here to thank me.
Rong Feng
Not just that, I want to reward you. Whatever you want, name it.
Xiao Ying smirked. Everything she predicted was right.
Lu Xiao Ying
Well then, seeing as I deserve this.....
Lu Xiao Ying
I want two condominium. One with two bedrooms. Another with only one.
Lu Xiao Ying
What? Can't afford it?
Rong Feng
No- we could.. it's just that it's a loss for us.
Lu Xiao Ying
You seem like a reasonable person so let's not make things difficult for you.
Lu Xiao Ying
How about only a condominium but with two bedrooms. How about that? Do-able?
Rong Feng
That, we can do. Alright, do you need anything else?
Lu Xiao Ying
Yes, a contract.
Rong Feng
Of course, we'll need a contract. Since you're going to be the owner of this-
Lu Xiao Ying
A contract with my rules in it.
Lu Xiao Ying
The contract will say....
Lu Xiao Ying
After I receive the condo, party A, you cannot bother us or return for revenge. Since I get the whole place for free, I'm afraid, you'll regret and decide to come after me so.
Rong Feng
Clever. But trust me, we won't do that.
Rong Feng
And when are you moving in?
Rong Feng
Alright, we'll prepare the contracts right away.
Rong Feng
I'll see you in a moment.
Ying's Sister
Yingying, what were you talking about?
Lu Xiao Ying
I just got us a new home.
Ying's Mother
As in this condo?
Lu Xiao Ying
Yeah, you were having a hard time with money anyway so as an amazing and filial daughter myself I-
Ying's Sister
We get it jeez
Lu Xiao Ying
Oh and if I'm right, this is only the highlight...
Kendall's Assistant
Miss, my boss would like to see you.
Ying's Mother
I think you're right~
Ying's Sister
Ying is so smart!
Lu Xiao Ying
Ha, I know right? I'm going now. Wait here.
Kendall Parkerns
Well thanks for what you did
Lu Xiao Ying
You're welcome.
Kendall Parkerns
I would like to reward you.
Kendall Parkerns
As gratitude to what you did.
Kendall Parkerns
What do you want?
Lu Xiao Ying
Well, as a young lady. I risked my life in order to save a complete stranger. Then almost got killed by the same person I was saving. Not to mention, I'm only 18.
Kendall Parkerns
You're 18? Well that's not a big gap since I'm only 20.
Lu Xiao Ying
I thought you were like. 30.
Kendall Parkerns
A-anyway your reward. I would like to reward you with some money
Kendall Parkerns
Name your price.
Lu Xiao Ying
Give me a limit.
Kendall Parkerns
Limit? For the money?
Lu Xiao Ying
Yeah, I want to know where to stop.
Kendall Parkerns
As a young entrepreneur who lives and swim in money. I think the limit is unlimited.
Kendall Parkerns
Alright alright! How about 10 million?
Lu Xiao Ying
So your life only worth that much?
Kendall Parkerns
Wh- it worths way more than that but-
Lu Xiao Ying
You're loaded but stingy
Kendall Parkerns
No- that's not what I meant
Lu Xiao Ying
I was only kidding. Why are you getting so nervous?
So that's what she looks like when she laughs. "Beautiful" He thought.
Lu Xiao Ying
Anyway since the limit is 10 million then I want 10 million.
Kendall Parkerns
Cash or credit card?
Lu Xiao Ying
I'll give you my card information.
Lu Xiao Ying
And I want it sent to my account now.
Kendall Parkerns
Is that it?
Lu Xiao Ying
No, I want a contract.
Lu Xiao Ying
After this, we will have no relations with each other and you cannot come look for us for revenge or to get your money back.
Kendall Parkerns
Why so heartless? I thought you liked me.
Lu Xiao Ying
You're funny.
Kendall Parkerns
Right at the emotions-
Lu Xiao Ying
Alright, mr. I swim in money. Please prepare the contract now. And don't let anyone know you gave me 10 millions.
Lu Xiao Ying
I don't want no robbers after me or my family.
Kendall Parkerns
Of course.
Kendall Parkerns
So after this we're strangers?
Lu Xiao Ying
Even now, we are but whatever.
Kendall Parkerns
At least let me know your name.
Kendall Parkerns
Here's my card. Maybe when I come here next time I'll see you.
Kendall Parkerns
Don't lose this card. Please?
Lu Xiao Ying
I'm only saying this to get rid of you.
Kendall Parkerns
*smiles. I know.
Kendall's smile was so genuine, even for a cold hearted and sneaky person like Xiao Ying. At that moment, they both had a moment of silence.
Xiao Ying felt something she had never felt before. Still, she told herself to stop since after this, they'll only be strangers to each other.
But things are different for Kendall. He was different from Xiao Ying. He was more honest with his feelings and he knew he has already fallen in love with the adorable stranger.
After awhile everything was handled.
Kendall's Assistant
Sir, that was dangerous. If it weren't for-
Kendall Parkerns
I didn't die, did I?
Kendall's Assistant
No but-
Kendall Parkerns
Actually, me almost dying was worth it.
Kendall's Assistant
Wait. Don't tell me..... you...
Kendall's Assistant
LIKE HER ALREADY?
Kendall Parkerns
Shush! I don't like her.
Kendall's Assistant
Then... what?
Kendall Parkerns
I love her.
Kendall's Assistant
ALREADY?
Kendall's Assistant
WHY???
Kendall Parkerns
No reasons.
Kendall Parkerns
I just love her.
Kendall's Assistant
Then should I arrange for an engagement?
Kendall's Assistant
Why? I thought you-
Kendall Parkerns
Give me 4 years. I still need to settle scores with "him".
Kendall's Assistant
Your step brother?
Kendall Parkerns
Who else?
Kendall Parkerns
Alright, enough of this let's go to the airport.
Before leaving Kendall turned around and said.
Kendall Parkerns
4 years. Wait for me, Ying.
Kendall Parkerns
*smiles. Until next time, my love.
