Seeing that he had actually left the room to pick her items up at Isaac Wen's desk, Stephanie Ruan secretly let out a smile and her anger is instantly dissolved.Humph! Lucky for him who knows exactly how to coax a woman!In no time, Stephanie Ruan's desk is seated nicely on the empty space in front of the bookshelf, adjacent to his table.She also forgot to mention the extra extension of the office space, featuring a mini kitchen and a considerably large dining area.There is even an enclosed large bedroom at the end of the office with an attached bathroom.With the interior design very compatible with any high-end international 5-star hotel, Stephanie Ruan could definitely foresee herself settling down comfortably in this place very soon."Such a horrible man but at least he has good taste..." She casually strolled around the room and checked out the city view from the large full-length windows.As she returned to the main working area, Javier Zhong is already back at his desk, full
Since they are in a public area, Stephanie Ruan did not want to raise her voice and argue with him over such a trivial issue.She could foresee that it would be too embarrassing if others were to hear them.Forget it... just let him be for now...As such, Stephanie Ruan has no choice but to tolerate this bothersome man and unwillingly remain in his arms.On the other hand, the man standing behind her has subconsciously raised the corners of his lips. No one told him that he could be this happy when taking a bus ride!Despite noticing her gloomy expression, Javier Zhong did not seem to let this affect his fantastic mood at all!If only she could obediently lay in his arms like this, he would definitely not mind taking bus rides with her every day, from now onwards.However, this surreal moment is unfortunately short-lived for Javier Zhong as they soon alighted at a crowded bus stop.The minute he took the last step down from the bus, the people around looked at him with perplexity, as
Javier Zhong gazed at her. Well, that was definitely not what he meant.Has he not made it obvious enough that he likes her? Or is she just deliberately ignoring it?"There are no other girls. It's just you." He said with certainty in his voice."But I'm still not interested." She quickly rejected him and left no room for negotiation."..."She knows it!!...Judging by her facial expression and choice of words, Javier Zhong could tell that Stephanie Ruan is aware of his advances.But what could he do about this??Facing the current situation, it is definitely not wise of him to directly confess his feelings to her now because it clearly has a rejection rate of a hundred percent and nothing less!This is not working out! He has to find another way around this...Just then, Javier Zhong thought of a brilliant idea to tackle this tricky situation.Basically in the world of business, if you cannot come up with your own ideas, you gain inspiration from other people's ideas to create your o
Hearing that the door behind her has opened, Stephanie Ruan turned around and is surprised to see Javier Zhong coming in as well."Your meeting has ended so quickly?" She asked.Well, when she was there earlier, it definitely did not look like it was ending anytime soon..."Mmm... You brought something for me?" Javier Zhong carefully avoided her question and his eyes immediately shifted to the lunch box that she is still holding on to.He is obviously not confessing to her about how he hastily ended an important weekly meeting that has barely started just because he'd rather be with her..."Oh, just something small that I made for breakfast! Care to join me?" After placing her handbag down on the desk, she headed toward the dining area and laid out the homemade food on the table.Toasted sandwiches with fluffy eggs, ham, and melted cheese... Home-baked scones with jam... Yoghurt parfaits with several fresh fruits...Wow!! Looks delicious!!To Stephanie Ruan, these food are relatively
Oh, is that his new girlfriend??..."..."Hmm... but it doesn't look like it either...Stephanie Ruan crossed her arms and silently observed the two of them from the side.However, with another closer look, she could roughly guess what is happening and could not help but burst out in laughter, "Pfft..."Thankfully Stephanie Ruan covered her mouth in time to prevent any sound from coming out, which is why they have yet to notice her presence.In fact, her mood has also brightened up a little after witnessing Javier Zhong's annoyed expression.But don't you worry, she is definitely not feeling bad for taking pleasure in his misfortune!Maybe because he is also looking kind of... cute??...Nonetheless, who knew that such a day would come for Javier Zhong and the best part is that she even got to witness it firsthand for herself?!Since it is not an everyday thing that Stephanie Ruan gets to see him in such a manner, she just wanted to fully enjoy watching this scene while Riley Tang cont
Dumbfounded, Stephanie Ruan touched the part of her cheek that he had planted a kiss on. "You..."Does this man not know how to take jokes at all?!How could he just...!!Argh!!His thoughtless action has undoubtedly killed her mood for the entire day.And when Stephanie Ruan tried to push herself up from his lap, she is shocked to find that she is instantly pushed back down and forced to remain in the same position!"??!!..."This man is unbelievable!!"What are you doing?? Let go!" She struggled to get up again but to no avail. Her strength is simply incomparable to Javier Zhong's."You sat here first. It isn't my fault." He innocently explained himself to her.Well yes, she has to admit that she took the initiative to sit on his lap first, but what's with him keeping her in the same position even after the show is already over??What does he mean by this?!If only she knew that he would be this ungrateful, she would not even have bothered to help him out of that situation!Although
Stephanie Ruan did not respond to him, and neither did she remove his hands from her waist. Instead, she only looked ahead with complexity in her eyes. Marriage is about choosing the right partner to spend your entire life with. It is a life-long commitment. She is also a firm believer in this segment of the vow, 'till death do us apart'. As such, Stephanie Ruan is very strict when it comes to choosing her future husband. Once she chooses to commit to a marriage, the word 'divorce' would no longer be in her dictionary.* Yet at the same time, Stephanie Ruan does not believe in dating someone whom she could not see she would marry in the future. I mean, why waste her precious time and energy to fully commit to such an unpredictable relationship? It just doesn't make any sense at all! Surely, Stephanie Ruan is in a huge dilemma right now... To be honest, she has never once considered Javier Zhong to be her future husband before! Not because he isn't qualified enough to be her idea
Javier Zhong simply looked at her with a deep meaning in his eyes.Just by him remaining silent, Stephanie Ruan could easily guess that what she had said was right.He did not respond directly to her question. Instead, he confessed, "I told Isaac to investigate your background previously and I was surprised to hear that you were the girl from the Ruan Family."After a slight pause, he recalled, "Back then, when we came down from our car to check on the accident, I found a slightly damaged phone just a few steps away.""Before I could try to unlock it, a phone call from an unknown number came in."...["How is it?"] The caller obviously used a voice-changing application as the male voice is distorted.["What do you think?"] Javier Zhong responded to the mysterious caller, in hopes of fishing out some information from him.["You dare to play with me??!! Update me on the Ruan Family right now!!"] The man screamed into his ears over the phone.["I've confirmed it, the Ruan family members
