Hello Love, Goodbye Billionaire

“??!!…”

Stunned by the sudden turn of events, Javier Zhong’s heart started pounding very quickly.

You mean… she has agreed to share a room with him??

And so… he gets to spend the night with her??

Right at this point, it could be said that his mind went completely blank for a few seconds due to the excitement that is overwhelming him.

Seeing that Stephanie Ruan had taken their keycard from the receptionist and is already walking toward the lift lobby, Javier Zhong hurriedly picked up his pace and followed after her.

Needless to say, his mood has also improved drastically!

But just before he could try to grab hold of Stephanie Ruan’s hand again, her stern warning entered his ears.

“Don’t you dare try to do anything funny tonight!”

“??…”

What?… Has he even done anything wrong to her before??

Not only did he innocently get an earful from her for no particular reason, but the current atmosphere also does not feel right for him to hold her hand as well.

What a downer for his self-imagined romantic atmosphere…

…

Since it is already quite late in the evening, they quickly unpacked their luggage in the room and left for dinner.

In a limited-edition convertible sports car that Javier Zhong had specially flown over from the city, he took the wheel and drove the two of them to a nearby restaurant.

The scenery on the way to their destination is simply spectacular!

Feeling the cool breeze on her face, Stephanie Ruan could not help but lean back and quietly snapped some photos of the stunning island.

Thankfully she had worn a pretty scarf on her head so her hair would not be ‘slapping her face’ throughout the ride.

“So beautiful…” She commented while being in awe of the view.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mmm… Do you want me to stop the car at the side? You can take more photos there if you want to.” Javier Zhong asked her considerately.

If not for the fact that Stephanie Ruan remembered what she is here for, she would definitely be tricked into thinking that she is on a honeymoon trip instead.

With a softened look in her eyes, she looked at him and shook her head lightly. “It’s okay. Keep driving.”

…

Soon, they arrived at the standalone restaurant located just behind a private beach.

Judging by the number of expensive continental cars parked in the lots outside the restaurant, one could easily guess the profile of their customers.

“Mr. Zhong and Miss. Ruan, this way please.” The manager personally came out to usher them into the dining area.

They strolled past the ground floor of the restaurant and saw that it is indeed crowded with no empty table in sight.

In fact, there are a few groups of people in the lobby still waiting to be seated.

“This restaurant is pretty popular huh?” Stephanie Ruan glanced around while making this casual remark.

With the restaurant’s high ceiling on the ground floor coupled with the unblocked view through its large full-length windows, it has managed to successfully weave in a hint of luxury into its ‘beach theme’.

No wonder this place is so popular amongst the richer tourists…

The moment they stepped into the restaurant earlier, Javier Zhong has already been actively observing every little change in the expression and behaviour of Stephanie Ruan.

Seeing how light-hearted she is now, he breathed a sigh of relief!

It seems like she likes this place!

“Not bad at all!…” Javier Zhong secretly praised Isaac Wen in his heart.

Previously, he had asked his secretary to compile a list of the different ways to chase a girl…

The first tip is to bring her to a nice restaurant as the environment of their date could directly affect the mood of the girl.

As such, Javier Zhong had spent his whole afternoon doing serious research to find the best restaurant on the island.

If only the trip is not so last minute, he would definitely have more time to come up with a better plan. But for now, this is it!

Of course, he had also added his own ‘flavour’ to the dating recipe…

“There’s no one up here??” As soon as they stepped onto the second floor of the restaurant, Stephanie Ruan is surprised to see that it is completely empty with only one grand table nicely set up in the middle of the hall.

“I booked the entire level. It’s ours for the night.”

After responding to her, Javier Zhong gave a nod to the manager and one of the staff walked over to hand him a large bouquet of flowers.

Even though they are on the second floor, the view and atmosphere here are not at all inferior to the ground level.

In fact, the second level is usually more popular with the tourists as it offers a much better unblocked view with its full-length windows on all three sides of the hall.

Mesmerised by the beauty of the clean and clear beach with the sound of waves crashing onto the shore in a rhythmic manner, Stephanie Ruan did not notice that Javier Zhong is already standing behind her.

“You like it?” He leaned close to her face and asked her gently.

“Mmm, quite good.” Looking directly into his eyes, Stephanie Ruan realised that she did not feel uncomfortable with their faces so close to each other.

“But you didn’t have to book the entire level. It’s a waste of money and… we are depriving other people of enjoying this.” She added while turning her head back to face the scenery.

To be honest, it’s not like they could not swallow their food if there are other people dining with them so she does not get the point about him reserving the entire floor for themselves.

On top of that, she knows that booking this entire place isn’t cheap at all.

With the second level being able to fit appropriately 30 large tables, it simply means that Javier Zhong has to cover the bill for all these tables and a little more for the booking fee.

Perhaps… the final bill could easily come up to more than 120, 000 yuan (about 17, 700 US dollars)!

Spent on just ONE dinner!

“I want you to have this place all to yourself. From today onwards, you don’t have to share anything with anybody.”

“Whatever you want, I’ll get it for you. If I can buy it, I’ll buy it no matter how much it cost. If I can’t buy it, I’ll use force and rob it.” Javier Zhong declared to her confidently.

“??!…”

“Speak properly, can you? What do you mean by robbing? Are you a gangster??” Stephanie Ruan could not help but frown at his words.

“You have to know that we can never have everything that we want on this earth. Also, if your future wife has such requirements for you, it’s better that you don’t marry her.”

She meant well and spoke to him from the bottom of her heart. But despite so, she could not help but wonder why she is having a slight sour feeling as she spoke about his future wife being someone else and not her…

Although Javier Zhong also meant every single word he said to her, his brain reacted very quickly when he heard her disapproving response.

“Well, you don’t have such requirements. So I can marry you.” He said with a smirk on his face.

After which, Javier Zhong handed her the large bouquet consisting of 100 fresh red roses that he had hidden well behind his back earlier.

With a doting smile, he spoke to her gently, “This is for you…”

“??…”

Stephanie Ruan’s heart unknowingly skipped a beat…

How did he know that she likes flowers??…

And…

“Are you… proposing now?” She gave him a wary look.

“…”

Javier Zhong did not expect her to say this. In fact, he had just wanted to give her all these little surprises with no special intentions.

But… since the ‘queen’ has already spoken… he is extremely happy to ride on this too…

After all, he is a well-trained opportunist!

“Do you allow me to propose to you? So… are you willing to be my girlfriend, Stephanie?”
