Hello Love, Goodbye Billionaire

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.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

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 though they have just seen someone from a different world in their midst.

Just by scrutinising his dressing, they could not help but ask themselves if they

even deserve to breathe beside him!

And as usual, the woman also exuded a charming aura that caused everyone to have difficulties shifting their eyes away from her.

“Javier, hurry up! We got to move faster!” Stephanie Ruan’s tone of voice carried an unusual trace of excitement.

Who knows where she is bringing him to??…

To be honest, he didn’t bother too much about it as well! As long as he could spend time with her, who cares about where they are going right??

But still, some words shouldn’t be said too early…

“Lady boss, a table for two, please!” Stephanie Ruan cheerfully waved her hand at the older lady who is at another table taking orders.

Meanwhile, Javier Zhong is completely stupefied. He stared in disbelief at the run-down shophouse with old wooden signage that looks like it has been hanging there for more than two decades.

Unlike modern restaurants that he is used to dining at, the kitchen for this place is openly placed at the front of the store.

With one peep inside, you could see all the uncovered ingredients that the chef has proudly displayed on the oily, stainless steel table.

Yuck!! What an unhygienic place!

Could the food here even be eaten?!

“Pretty lady! It has been so long since I’ve seen you! Come in!!” The lady boss happily responded to her and quickly showed them to their seats before getting busy again.

Stephanie Ruan casually placed her bag down on another chair before grabbing herself a seat. But she soon noticed that Javier Zhong is still standing in the same position, unmoving.

“What are you staring at? Not going to sit down?” She placed the menu on his side of the table and looked at him with confusion.

Seeing that he still has his eyes locked on the wooden stool as though he is calculating the number of germs on it, she finally understood the situation.

“Are you not planning to wash your pants today? If you are, then just take a seat.”

“…”

In such a situation, there could only be two options – one is to leave the restaurant immediately and the other is to compromise and sit on a dirty stool.

What a joke…

Does he even need to think about this??

Of course, he is sitting down!!…

I mean, such a rare opportunity to have a meal with her… how could he bear to just throw it away like that??…

Taking a deep breath, Javier Zhong faced his fear of germs head-on and slowly stabilised himself on the small stool.

Looking at his tense face, Stephanie Ruan found this very amusing. “Is it really that bad??…”

“But it’s okay, there is always a first time for everything!” She chuckled and gave him an encouraging pat on his shoulder.

“So what do you want to eat?” She pointed at the menu in front of him.

Without even sparing a glance at it, Javier Zhong replied, “You decide.”

“Mm okay!” Stephanie Ruan nodded her head and immediately caught the attention of the lady boss standing nearby.

“Two bowls of your signature handmade noodles with one plate of pan-fried dumplings, please.”

“No problem, pretty lady! You even brought your boyfriend here today? Both of you look so compatible!” The lady boss could not resist but praise the two of them.

Hearing that, Javier Zhong’s eyes naturally lit up and his mood has also improved a little.

In fact, he suddenly felt that this place is not so bad after all!… At least the boss has good eyes.

However, Stephanie Ruan threw the lady boss an embarrassed smile and hurriedly corrected her, “Ah… no no, not my boyfriend… He is just a friend.”

“!!…”

Those harmless words stabbed heavily into Javier Zhong’s heart. Although this is a fact, she didn’t have to say it so bluntly right?

It hurts…

“Ahh, that’s a pity!! It’s alright, the dumplings are on the house today!”

Indeed, it is rare to have such a good-looking couple patronising her store so the lady boss decided to gift them a little something.

“Thank you, lady boss!” Being very familiar with the lady boss, Stephanie Ruan did not hold back in accepting the boss’ kind offer.

As soon as she brought her attention back to Javier Zhong, she noticed that his expression looked a little dejected?

But before she could even ask him what had happened, she paused for a split second and burst out in laughter.

“??!!…”

The scene of Javier Zhong in his expensive navy blue suit, sitting on an old stool at such a rustic restaurant is simply hilarious!

It looked pretty obvious that he doesn’t belong here at all!

“I’m sorry!! You look too out of place over here!” Stephanie Ruan covered her mouth with both hands and continued giggling to herself.

“Maybe next time you can wear a more casual outfit!” Thereafter, she conveniently took a few pieces of tissue and cleaned the utensils before handing a set over to him.

Next time??…

Did he hear it wrongly?? So she actually wants to go out with him again on another day??

Well, he would definitely want to grab on to this opportunity!

Carrying some anticipation, Javier Zhong said to her confidently, “I’ll plan for our next date.”

“??…”

Upon hearing that, Stephanie Ruan furrowed her eyebrows but did not forget to give him a slight smile afterward.

“You can keep that plan for other girls. I’m not interested in it.”
