Hello Love, Goodbye Billionaire

Since he has already spoken so straightforwardly, Stephanie Ruan found it difficult to continue denying it.

In front of Javier Zhong, she then raised her left hand elegantly and stared at her empty ring finger.

“At least a 4 carat diamond ring. Nothing less!” She hinted at him without holding back.

Knowing his financial capability, a 4-carat ring should be nothing to him. But well, it is not about the price but rather, she wants to see his sincerity in marrying her.

“!!!…”

As soon as Javier Zhong heard her words, he let out the biggest smile ever and he could hardly contain his joy!!

Not to mention 4 carats, as long as she is willing to marry him, getting a 20 carats ring is not even an issue to him!

Javier Zhong inched himself forward and quickly threw her a big hug without even caring about the fresh stitches on his wounds.

It is almost as though he has completely forgotten that he has two gunshot wounds and he obviously could not feel the pain anymore!

“Stephanie, will you really marry me?? You mean what you just said?” Javier Zhong could not listen to it enough and wanted to hear her confirmation over and over again.

Although she did not directly respond to his questions, her wide smile is more than enough to assure him of her words.

“…”

With that, he directly planted a passionate kiss on Stephanie Ruan’s soft and supple lips.

Staring at Javier Zhong’s perfectly enlarged face with her misty eyes, she thought to herself silently.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Sorry, dad and mum, let me be wilful this time… It was difficult for me to meet a man who could move my heart. Now that I did, please let me marry him. I hope you will give us your blessings.”

…

Their kiss went on for what seemed like forever. It was clear that neither of them wanted it to end. Not until the consecutive knocks on the door that rudely interrupted the romantic atmosphere…

“Chairman Zhong, the doctor is here.”

Seeing Javier Zhong’s cold glare greeting him as soon as he entered the room, Isaac Wen darted his eyes around and quickly understood the situation.

“I… I will get him to come back later?”

“Get him in!” Although Javier Zhong is dissatisfied with the disturbance, he also did not want to delay the treatment of Stephanie Ruan’s wounds.

“I will go over to the sofa area to treat my wounds.” She said with her slightly curved lips.

“Mmm, go ahead.” Javier Zhong spoke to her gently and just before she could leave his side, he quickly planted another kiss on her lips.

Stunned by this unexpected action, Stephanie Ruan ‘hit’ him in the chest and reprimanded him in a loud whisper, “Jav, there are so many people in here! How could you just??…”

“No one is looking.” Obviously, what he said cannot be trusted as everyone’s eyes are only locked on them.

Just by staring at her beautiful eyes the whole entire time, Javier Zhong did not even pretend to verify what he had just assured her about.

Argh!!…

Has this man never learned how to behave in a public space before??

Well, she vowed to teach him some good manners the next time!

…

Since Stephanie Ruan’s injury is not severe, the doctor could treat and bandage her wounds rather quickly.

But with Javier Zhong’s hawk eyes staring at him the entire time, the doctor did not dare to be careless at all in his treatment.

In no time, she is bandaged up and good to go!

As soon as the doctor left the room, Isaac Wen was instantly interrogated by Javier Zhong, “Did you catch him?”

“Yes, Chairman Zhong. We locked him up at the warehouse as per your order.”

“Good. We will leave in 15 minutes.” Javier Zhong’s eyes showed an unusual trace of ruthlessness.

Following a popular rumour that Javier Zhong has ever chopped up a person’s hands and legs and thrown him inside a mental hospital to rot to death, it is indeed easier to die than to land in Javier Zhong’s hands.

To him, ruining someone’s life is as easy as picking up a fork and spoon.

This is why people are so afraid of him and usually no one dares to be on his bad side unless they are being forced by their circumstances.

“No, you are not going anywhere!” Stephanie Ruan’s disapproving voice sounded out in the entire room.

“You have just gone through a risky operation and not even half a day has passed yet. Don’t you dream about leaving the hospital.” Stephanie Ruan threw a stern expression at Javier Zhong.

After which, she looked over at Isaac Wen, “Isaac, I’ll follow you there.”

“??!!…”

Hearing this short conversation has already made Isaac Wen’s hair stand! Not only is his boss unable to come, but his precious woman is coming instead…

What if something bad happens to her under his careful watch?

Isaac Wen definitely cannot afford to bear this huge responsibility!

But to his surprise, Javier Zhong actually agreed to let her go…

“Okay. You can go with Isaac. But you have to stay vigilant. Don’t let your guard down.” He carefully reminded Stephanie Ruan.

She then walked toward him and surprised him with a light kiss on his cheek, “Don’t worry, I will.”

The two of them looked at each other intimately for a few seconds before Stephanie Ruan turned to Isaac Wen, “Shall we?”

…

The driver sent Stephanie Ruan to the hotel to have a change of clothes first before driving them to the deserted warehouse.

On their way there, Isaac Wen received a call from Javier Zhong.

“Watch my woman closely! If anything happens to her, the first person I’m coming after is you!”

“And, get me another car. Now!”

Isaac Wen took a quick glance at the backseat where Stephanie Ruan is seated to ensure that she did not hear what his boss has just ordered him to do.

“I understand, Chairman Zhong.”

…

At the warehouse

Stephanie Ruan leisurely walked in with a hand tucked inside the pocket of her full-length white business pants.

She paired it nicely with a fiery red halter neck top and a pair of black sunglass as per her usual look.

With her high heels making a sharp and distinct sound each time it landed on the concrete floor, the steady rhythm that she is making has added on to her cold and intimidating aura.

“Director Ruan, we have tied him up, hung him upside down, and caned him with a thick rope at least a hundred times, as per Chairman Zhong’s instructions. But he still wouldn’t talk.” Isaac Wen swiftly reported the details to her.

Stephanie Ruan did not give him a response. Instead, she continued walking with him toward a sofa armchair that is placed just a few meters away from ‘X’ and sat down with her legs crossed elegantly.

From the way she is sitting and her good posture, Stephanie Ruan looked almost as though she is ready for a fine dining meal at a restaurant.

After settling down in the comfortable armchair, Stephanie Ruan looked at Isaac Wen who is standing guard beside her, “Give me the gun.”
