Hello Love, Goodbye Billionaire

Hearing her words, Javier Zhong is instantly pulled back into reality!

What was he doing?? Did his heart actually fluttered for her?!

He could not come to terms with what was happening to him and why he could not control his own emotions at all!

But it is a fact that Stephanie Ruan looked stunning in every gown that she wore, especially the one that she has chosen.

Yes, he has to admit that she has a good fashion sense and he could not help but agree with her on every single feedback for the other pieces.

True enough, like minds think alike!

“…”

Javier Zhong cleared his throat and responded awkwardly, “I have no issues with the gown.”

With that, he hastily picked up one of the magazines on the coffee table and started browsing it through randomly.

Looking at his strange behaviour, Stephanie Ruan knitted her eyebrows and muttered under her breath, “Weirdo.”

Soon, she has changed out of her gown and proceeded to the cashier to make the payment.

To her surprise, she heard the store manager respectfully replying to her, “Miss, your gown has already been paid for.”

“??…”

Stephanie Ruan turned and saw Javier Zhong looking at her with a raised eyebrow. Beside him is Isaac Wen holding onto a large paper bag with her purchase in it.

She let out a small chuckle as she walked towards them with steady footsteps. “Isn’t it just 80, 000 yuan (about 12, 600 US dollars)?”

“Chairman Zhong, this amount of money, I can afford it. I have accepted your kindness. But if you’d insist, why not give me something that I can’t afford?”

After saying that, Stephanie Ruan took the paper bag from Isaac Wen and passed it directly to Javier Zhong to hold.

“This… I cannot afford it. Will you, please?”

“!!…”

At this moment, Isaac Wen did not even dare to look at Javier Zhong’s face. He could already imagine how dark his boss’ expression is right now!

But as for Director Ruan… with her feisty personality, she is truly difficult to handle! However, he still had to applaud her for her boldness!

Not every girl would have the courage to stand against the most powerful man and have the ability to leave him completely speechless.

True enough, Javier Zhong is seen clenching his fist while holding onto the handle of the bag!

Unbothered by his reaction, Stephanie Ruan walked back to the counter and smiled at the store manager, whose face is currently as white as paper.

“Please give a full refund to the gentlemen over there. I will pay for the gown with my card. Here you go.” Her hand is left hanging in mid-air as she passes the card over to the manager.

“…”

After witnessing what has just happened, the store manager is at a loss on what to do!

Although Stephanie Ruan is not the boss of this mall, her intimidation and aura are not any lesser than Javier Zhong’s!

Could someone please tell her if she should take the card??

Never would she have expected that today might be her last day at work!

The store manager looked nervously at the two important people in front of her, and then at Isaac Wen – who is equally as clueless as she is.

“Take my card first and do as I say. I’ll make sure you will not lose your job.”

Stephanie Ruan could easily guess what is going on in her mind and decided to whisper these words to the manager.

With her assurance, the store manager nodded her head and quickly processed the refund as well as the new transaction.

“Thank you very much! You’ve worked hard!” Stephanie Ruan smiled at her gently as she retrieved the card from the manager’s hands.

With the manager and team of sales assistants bowing at them respectfully, the three of them finally exited the store.

Seeing that Javier Zhong is still obediently holding onto her shopping bag even after leaving the store, Stephanie Ruan’s heart had softened a little.

Well, even though this guy could be quite arrogant at times, he is still not that bad after all…

Stephanie Ruan tilted her head down and smiled secretly. She then took the initiative to hold his arm with the intention of teasing him.

“Darling, why do you look so angry?? Hmm? Others who do not know might think that your fiancé has bullied you…”

“!!…”

Her intimate way of addressing him, coupled with an alluring smile had left Javier Zhong completely dumbfounded once again!

Just then, the sweet scene is rudely interrupted by the ringing of a cell phone.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Oh! I’m sorry…” Stephanie Ruan reached into her handbag and took out her phone.

Looking at the caller’s name, she took a few steps away from Javier Zhong to pick up the call.

“My dear beauty, where are you now?? I miss you already…”

Upon hearing Daniel Yan’s teasing voice, she laughed but did not forget to ‘lecture’ him, “Stop saying these nonsensical words!! Tell me, why did you call??”

“Uhm… so… I just arrived at Country C and I’m wondering if you are free to meet for dinner tonight??”

“What??… Just?? Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you are coming? I would have gone back home to prepare some food for you.”

“Well, I just wanted to give you a good surprise! How was it?? Were you shocked??”

Hearing Daniel Yan’s overly excited voice over the phone, Stephanie Ruan could not help but smile to herself. “Alright yes… it’s a very good surprise! I’ll come over and meet you tonight! Text me the location!”

After which, they continued to exchange a few more words before she hung up the call.

It is good news that Daniel Yan is in Country C. After all, who wouldn’t want to see a familiar face in a ‘foreign’ city??

Stephanie Ruan hurriedly walked over to Javier Zhong’s side and took the bulky shopping bag from his hand.

“Chairman Zhong, I’ve got to go now! See you tomorrow at the event!” She spoke to him with a hasty tone.

Before Isaac Wen could even say a word to her, she has already given him the hand signal as well. “It’s okay, Isaac. You don’t have to fetch me back! See you tomorrow too!”

With her high heels, she rushed off towards the entrance of the mall without turning back while the two men simply remained frozen in their position.

“…”

Usually, women would love to be pampered and have men buy and carry their items for them but as for Stephanie Ruan…

Perhaps she is too independent to bother about following these ‘customs’…

“Such an interesting woman…” Isaac Wen thought to himself as he continued staring at her back-view in awe.

Meanwhile, Javier Zhong is clearly very vexed about the situation!

Who was the one who called her?? Where is she heading to now?? Is she really that excited to meet this person?!

In fact, this is the first time he has seen her smile so happily! And her smile is so captivating that he found it difficult to keep his eyes off her…

It felt almost as though he was being instantly pulled into another dimension…

And… what about this sour feeling that he is getting now??

Don’t tell me…

He is actually jealous??…
