Hello Love, Goodbye Billionaire

Upon hearing that, Stephanie Ruan’s expression immediately darkened. “Javier, you agreed to give me some time!”

“I did! Is 10 hours not enough? That is already quite some time…”

Stephanie Ruan could not believe her ears and is completely speechless!

Wait… what did he just say?!… 10 hours??!!

Other people count by the days and weeks, but this man actually dared to count by the hours and act so righteously??…C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Forget it… Take this back!” Stephanie Ruan pushed the bouquet back into his arms angrily. She does not want to take anything from him!

This action of hers made Javier Zhong enter into panic mode. He forced the flowers back into her arms and anxiously held on to her hands, “Stephanie, don’t do this… I’m sorry, I was just joking. I will give you time.”

Seeing that she has calmed down a little, he slowly added with a pleading look, “But don’t make me wait for too long okay? I’m really getting impatient…”

“…”

In the centre of the large bouquet laid an exquisite royal blue box. After ensuring that Stephanie Ruan is holding onto the flowers properly, he took out the box and opened it in front of her.

With one hand, Javier Zhong steadily removed the necklace from the box and returned the box back to its original position with the other hand.

“Turn around…” He gently guided her and moved her beautiful dark brown wavy hair to one side of her shoulder.

With his quick hands and well-rehearsed action, Javier Zhong successfully put the necklace on her neck.

Looking down, Stephanie Ruan saw that it is a simple diamond-studded necklace with a much larger blue diamond gemstone in the middle.

Judging by the clarity of this large diamond, it should be very rare and expensive to purchase…

In fact, such items could not even be bought at any stores. It could only be bided at prestigious auction houses.

Needless to say, the necklace that she is wearing could easily be priced at nothing less than 100 million yuan (about 14. 8 million US dollars).

Usually, Stephanie Ruan does not fancy such expensive necklaces as they tend to be too exaggerated to wear out. But this one is special… its simple design suits her temperament perfectly.

Well, he chose the right one!

“It seems like it’s not your first time putting on a necklace for someone…” Stephanie Ruan remarked while still admiring the necklace with her slim fingers.

Being a woman, she naturally appreciates such beautiful things as well…

“Yes, it’s not.” Javier Zhong responded to her without any hesitation.

“??!…”

Right at this moment, displeasure is written clearly on Stephanie Ruan’s face as she stopped fiddling with the gem abruptly. “How many?”

“How many, what?” He looked at her with obvious confusion in his eyes.

“How many women?” This time, she questioned him with a much colder voice.

As soon as Javier Zhong heard that, he could not refrain from bursting out into laughter!

Oh… so this was what she meant…

“Uhm…” He looked away and pretended to think while having a face that is ready to laugh again at any time.

“Think properly!” Annoyed, Stephanie Ruan slapped his hard chest with her hand.

She is really very unhappy with him right now!

If he had dated many women before, she has to seriously reconsider their relationship!

After all, she is not looking to get married to a playboy!

Javier Zhong secretly stole a glance at her face and noticed that this woman’s angry expression could really be quite cute…

But he decided not to disturb her anymore just in case she really refuse to talk to him again in the future!

“No women. It’s a man. Does this still count?”

“??…” Stephanie Ruan could not understand what he is saying and threw him a weird look.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Isaac. I made him stand still in my office for one hour as my model so I can practice wearing a necklace for you. He definitely will not forget about this!”

“And also, I have never dated any woman before. You are going to be my first and my last.”

“If you don’t believe me about this, you can also check with Isaac. I’m always working at the office with him till midnight. 7 days a week.” He shared with her helplessly.

After hearing his confession, Stephanie Ruan’s originally stiff expression relaxed a lot.

“Mmm.” She made a casual sound to show that she has nothing else to say.

Meanwhile, Javier Zhong found it difficult to digest this response of hers, “Mmm??!!…”

“Stephanie, I’ve said so much and that’s all you are going to say to me?” His voice carried a trace of disappointment.

Seeing how she is now busy smelling the red roses on her hand and deliberately ignoring him, Javier Zhong decided to tease her instead.

“Tell me, you were feeling jealous right?” He bent down slightly and put his face near the flowers so he is directly in her view.

“I wasn’t jealous.” Stephanie Ruan defended herself indifferently.

“No, you were clearly very unhappy earlier. You were jealous.” Javier Zhong stated as a matter of fact.

“When was I? I wasn’t at all!”

“Before I told you that Isaac is my model.” Javier Zhong secretly laughed at her and hugged her from the back.

Trying to get out of this embarrassing situation, Stephanie Ruan struggled her way out of his arms and hurriedly walked toward their table. “I’m hungry, let’s eat!”

Pretending that nothing had happened, she opened the menu and started picking the dishes that she wants to order.

“By the way, I’m not easily bought over with just flowers and jewellery. Loving them doesn’t mean I’ll love you.”

Witnessing this confusing situation, Javier Zhong could only shake his head helplessly…

But he is definitely in a much happier mood!

Her being jealous simply meant that she cares about him and their future together!

This could only be good news for him!

-Buzz-

Javier Zhong suddenly received a phone call from Isaac Wen. He knew that it must be something urgent since his secretary would not call him for no particular reason.

“Stephanie, I’ll go pick up a call first. You can order anything you want. I’ll have the same as you.”

“Mmm okay!” Knowing that it must be an important call, she nodded her head and watched him leave the dining area.

…

“Chairman Zhong, I have bad news! Our men reported that there is some movement in ‘X’s house. I’m afraid he would have left by tomorrow morning.”

“Bring forward the operation to tonight. We will watch him from outside his house and ambush him once he leaves.” Javier Zhong ordered decisively.

“Understood, Chairman Zhong! That… how about Director Ruan? Is she coming with us tonight?” Isaac Wen asked him cautiously.

Javier Zhong’s eyes flickered for a second. After a short pause, he responded to him coldly. “I’ll take care of this.”

…

Back in the dining area, Javier Zhong walked toward the table. “How is it? Have you placed the order?”

“Just placed not long ago! How was your call? Is it about tomorrow?” Stephanie Ruan made a wild but good guess.

“Mmm, Isaac called. We will set off tomorrow morning.”
