Hello Love, Goodbye Billionaire

With that, she gave him a slight smirk and returned to her original position.

“!!…”

Stalking her?! Missing her??!!

Did she seriously say that??!!…

“Crazy woman.” Javier Zhong muttered under his breath in disbelief.

This lady is truly capable of making his heart boil each time she speaks!

Although he refused to entertain her right now, he has already made a mental note to count these ‘debts’ with her in the near future!

Amidst their conversation, Isaac Wen, who almost burst out laughing, quickly regained his composure after noticing Javier Zhong’s piercing gaze through the rear-view mirror.

To be fair, nobody could blame Isaac Wen for having such a huge reaction!

I mean, throughout his many years of working closely with Javier Zhong, no one has ever dared to speak to his boss in such a manner before!

Indeed, it was truly an eye-opening scene!

And of course, Stephanie Ruan did not pursue the matter any further as she knew that Javier Zhong is someone who would not trust anyone easily.

As of yet, there are only less than a handful of people who managed to gain his trust.

There is a popular saying that goes, ‘It can take thousands of years to melt an iceberg’.

Unfortunately, this is the best way to describe Javier Zhong’s personality.

…

Soon, the car reached the hotel’s grand entrance and the staff swiftly came forward to open the door.

“Director Ruan, we have reached your hotel.” Isaac Wen reported to her politely.

“Thank you very much, Isaac.”

And just before Stephanie Ruan was about to put on her sunglasses and take a step out of the car, she turned to Javier Zhong.

“Oh Chairman Zhong, it’s an honour to have you accompany me to run some errands today. But since you seem to be quite bored, maybe I can sign you up to do some charity work the next time?”

“This way, you can spend your time a little more wisely.”

With a sarcastic smile, she turned and left the car without waiting for his response.

-Thump-

Javier Zhong is full of anger as he punched the empty seat beside him!

“What are you both waiting for??!! Still not driving off?!”

“!!!…”

Hearing his angry roar, the two poor subordinates are sweating profusely. They seriously could not wait to escape from this intense atmosphere in the car.

His murderous aura made them feel as though they could be killed by him at any second!

…

The next two days went by very quickly, with Stephanie Ruan settling down into her new penthouse.

There are still several boxes lying around the house, which have yet to be unpacked.

As much as she wants to quickly finish her packing, she still has a more important task to do.

With a soft sigh, she closed the lid of one of the boxes in front of her and turned to Mia Xue, who is also helping her to sort the items out.

“Mia, I don’t think I can continue packing for today. I’ll need to get an evening gown at the mall for tomorrow’s event…”

“Should I go with you too? I can help to give some suggestions.” Mia Xue asked.

“Yes, actually that will be great! Shall we leave in 5 minutes?”

They both quickly came to an agreement and started preparing to leave the house.

But never did they expect themselves to be startled by the scene before them when they opened the door!

“!!!…”

That…

Javier Zhong and Isaac Wen are standing right at their doorstep!

“Chairman Zhong, what a surprise!” Stephanie Ruan patted lightly on her chest to calm herself down from the sudden shock.

“Have you lost your way home or are you looking for one? By the way, this unit is already taken.”

She gave him a light chuckle and immediately turned around to lock her main door, as though it is none of her business that the two of them have arrived at her house.

Surely, it must have been easy for the most powerful man in the country to gain access to anyone’s address and private information, including hers.

How horrible!!

And he must have already completed his full research on her, which is totally within her expectations!

Although she knew that both of them had come to find her, she is very busy today and has no time to spare for them.

Stephanie Ruan always believed in being nice to people who have good hearts. But for someone like Javier Zhong, there’s absolutely no need for this!

He is definitely someone who would take full advantage of one’s kindness!

“…”

Isaac Wen hurriedly stepped forward and explained, “Director Ruan, it is like this… Chairman Zhong specially came to look for you. He wants to bring you out for a meal.”

“Out for a meal?…” She looked over to Javier Zhong and thought for a moment.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

What trick is he trying to play today?

Never would she have expected him to turn up at her house and bring her out for a meal…

After all, it was Stephanie Ruan who had taken the initiative to ask him to be her fiancé in the first place.

Shouldn’t she be the one going over to ask him out for a meal instead??

“??…”

But then again, going out for a meal with him sounds nauseating to her. It is not like she is even interested in a narcissistic man like him anyway!

However, Stephanie Ruan got reminded about her hidden agenda in getting close to him. She needed to find out the truth behind her family’s accident!

As such, she has to get used to being with him no matter what!

It’s just eating together, isn’t it?? No big deal! Most to most, she would just not look at his arrogant face.

“To where?”

She finally asked him, to which he directly replied her. “My house.”

“??!!…”

Seeing her stunned expression, Javier Zhong went on to remind her, “You didn’t forget that you are now my fiancé, did you?”

“Better act well later and don’t lose my face. The entire family is there.” He added before indifferently walking past her.

Upon hearing that, she turned to Mia Xue and gave her an apologetic look before walking away without her.

…

There is an unusual atmosphere in the car and Stephanie Ruan could not help but take notice of it too.

She stole a glance at Javier Zhong, who is beside her, and caught him staring out of the window.

He seems to have a lot of thoughts running through his head, and he also looks a little… sad??

“Such a successful man in a lonely figure.” This is the first thought that came into her mind when she looked at him.

Does he not enjoy returning home??

As the car entered the high gates and drove steadily into the Zhong’s Residence, Stephanie Ruan is in awe of the view that is before her eyes!

Wow!!…

Is this a house or an estate on its own??!

It is so huge that it took them a 10 minutes car ride to reach the entrance of the mansion from the main gates!

As she exited the car, she was greeted by the rows and rows of servants who are working for the Zhong family.

They stood in their lines and bowed respectfully. “Young Master, welcome home”, they echoed.

An older male butler stepped forward and reported in a polite tone, “Young Master, welcome back. Everyone is already inside.”

The butler then looked at Stephanie Ruan and bowed lightly, “I’m Butler Quan, the manager of the house. You can look for me if you are unhappy with any of the workers.”

Stephanie Ruan nodded with a smile, “Nice to meet you! You can call me Stephanie.”

“Young Master and Ms. Stephanie, please.” He put out his right hand and personally ushered them into the house.

Just before they take a step into the house, Stephanie Ruan took the initiative to cling onto Javier Zhong’s arm.

This action of hers caught him off guard and he immediately threw a cold look at her.

“Keep your hands to yourself!” He ordered with a stern tone.

However, Stephanie Ruan placed a hand beside her face and whispered to him in a seemingly loving manner. “You picked the perfect person to act with you.”

With that, she gave him a flirty wink, which has left him completely speechless!
