Hello Love, Goodbye Billionaire

Chapter 43 – Don’t Talk To Me



Come on… How is she going to face all these people now…

Stephanie Ruan is someone who respects other people’s time and she definitely does not want to be seen as an entitled person who thinks that the whole world only revolves around her.

This is totally not right!!…

Absolutely embarrassing for her!!

On the other hand, Javier Zhong found her frustration to be very amusing!

With a chuckle, he grabbed hold of the small hand that is ‘attacking’ him and then directly planted a kiss on her forehead.

Startled by the unexpected kiss, Stephanie Ruan immediately placed her fingers on the part of her head that his lips had touched.

“??!…”

Seeing that she is still in a daze, Javier Zhong did not want to give her time to process what had just happened.

He knew that she would definitely make some ‘noise’ about it!

As such, he reacted quickly by helping Stephanie Ruan carry her handbag in one hand while holding onto her hand with the other.

“Let’s go.” Pretending that nothing had happened, Javier Zhong stood up and urged her to follow after him.

It was only after they exited the plane that Stephanie Ruan realised something is wrong!…

But Javier Zhong is currently walking at such a fast speed that she found it difficult to even catch up to his pace, let alone have a chat with him!

“Wait… Javier, slow down…” She panted slightly while trying to get her message across to him.

However, not only did Javier Zhong ignore her, he increased his speed even more and Stephanie Ruan is now forced to run a little just to catch up with him!

“!!…”

He is doing this on purpose!!

Is it because he does not want to give her an opportunity to chide him for what he had done earlier?…

“Ahh!!…”

Hearing her sudden short scream, Javier Zhong instantly stopped in his tracks and turned around to check on her.

“What happened?? Are you okay??” He asked worriedly while doing a thorough visual check on her entire body to find out where she had gotten hurt.

Little did he know, Stephanie Ruan did this on purpose so that she could get his attention.

“I’m fine. Why didn’t you slow down when I asked you to?” She questioned him unhappily.

At this moment, the two of them stopped in the middle of an empty walkway while everyone else also followed suit and maintained a respectful distance behind them.

Looking at his speechless expression, Stephanie Ruan continued to interrogate him, “And who gave you the permission to kiss me and hold my hand??”

“I remember telling you that I’m still thinking about giving you a chance to be with me. I haven’t agreed to it yet.” She reminded him.

Upon hearing her words, Javier Zhong thought about it for a few seconds before giving her a smirk. “You have already agreed to it.”

After which, he pulled her along with him and continued walking forward, as though they have already settled their ‘dispute’.

“??!!…”

“Since when?! No, I have not agreed to it!”

“Action speaks louder than words!” Javier Zhong intentionally tightened his grip on her hand as a reminder to her that she did not let go of his hand throughout the entire time…

Stephanie Ruan widened her eyes in disbelief! “Javier Zhong!! Let go of my hand!!… Now!!”

“Not letting go…” He playfully teased her.

“What a rogue! I said let go!!…” She struggled to remove her hand from his but to no avail. Her strength is simply of no match to his!

“Yes, I’m a rogue! The rogue who will never let go of your hand!”

Argh!!…

“Javier Zhong!!!…”

Expectedly, the ride to the hotel was a tortuous journey for Javier Zhong.

Since he clearly angered Stephanie Ruan earlier, he naturally had a difficult time pacifying her throughout the ride.

“Still angry??” Javier Zhong leaned closer to her and asked.

With her eyes completely shut, Stephanie Ruan simply retorted, “Don’t talk to me.”

As soon as he heard that, he unhesitatingly moved nearer to her.

After which, Javier Zhong forced his hands around her waist and put his lips beside her ear, “I’m sorry… I won’t do this again. Don’t be angry anymore, okay?”

Seeing that Stephanie Ruan is still bent on ignoring him, he did not know what else he could do to dissipate her anger.

Well, actually it is not that bad after all… At least she did not push him away this time and he could continue hugging her until they reach the hotel.

Somehow he is enjoying this surreal moment…

Touching her soft skin… smelling the faint yet addictive scent of perfume… in such a peaceful and quiet environment…

Could this get any better??…

Meanwhile, Isaac Wen who is sitting in the front could only secretly look at them through the rearview mirror and sigh to himself.

This is the first time that he has seen his boss, who is always as arrogant as he could be, bowing his head down to someone else!

Seems like he really has to watch out for Stephanie Ruan now… If he is smart enough, he would know who to butter up to from now onwards.

The hotel soon appeared in front of their eyes. Its modern facade blends in very well with the beautiful palm trees surrounding the entire property, creating a welcoming atmosphere for its visitors.

Isaac Wen proceeded to do the check-in on behalf of Javier Zhong and Stephanie Ruan, while they stood behind him and waited for their keycards.

“Sir, I’m very sorry, there is only one Presidential Suite available at the moment. The other suite is not ready yet due to some technical issues with the air-conditioning system.”

“How is this acceptable? We booked and paid for two Presidential Suites this afternoon. What other rooms do you have?” Isaac Wen expressed his dissatisfaction to the receptionist.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“I’m very sorry, Sir. Our hotel is fully booked for today. We will get the other suite fixed and ready by tomorrow night.”

She added, “To extend our apologies, we will give you a 30% discount on your room rates, two complimentary premium fine red wines of your choice, and…”

Although their service recovery sounds good, the hotel has to know that these super wealthy people who could afford to stay in the Presidential Suites do not actually care about such ‘freebies’ and discounts.

Each Presidential Suite at this hotel could go up to about sixty-eight thousand yuan per night (about 10 thousand US dollars)!

But Javier Zhong is not looking for a discounted room – he is loaded! What he wants is to get the rooms!

As such, without even hearing what the receptionist has to offer, he impatiently interrupted her and spoke to Isaac Wen directly, “Any other hotels nearby?”

“Chairman Zhong, this is the only five-star hotel on this island.”

“It’s fine, we will take the room then.” Stephanie Ruan spoke to the receptionist and gave her a polite smile.

But when she turned to face Javier Zhong, her smile was no longer there, “I’ll take the bed, you’ll take the sofa.”
