Chapter 22 My Future Wife



He immediately widened his eyes in shock!!
He immediately widened his eyes in shock!!

Although she had meant to wear this gown to the event in the first place without the blazer, her action is still a little too... suggestive?

And it really doesn't help that she is looking so gorgeous in the gown...

Javier Zhong did not know why his body is reacting so much to this situation. He swallowed his saliva and forced himself to look away so that his heart rate could return to normal again.

"A-hem!... hem..."

Upon hearing that, Stephanie Ruan looked at him and is surprised to see that he is suddenly drinking so much water at one go!

"??..."

"Are you really that thirsty?" She commented on his strange behaviour while taking her pouch back from him.

Before he could even respond to her, Stephanie Ruan had already opened the door and left the car.

Seeing that she had left without her jacket, Javier Zhong quickly took it along with him as they walked toward the building.

"Put on your jacket."

With the blazer now on her shoulders, Stephanie Ruan questioned him with an annoyed tone. "Why did you bring it down? No one wears a jacket here..."

She took it off and passed it back to him. But being the stubborn person that he is, Javier Zhong insisted and placed it back on her.

"It's too inappropriate. Put it on." He said.

"How is this inappropriate??" She asked.

"I said it is, means it is!"

Their non-stop bickering went on all the way until they reached the entrance of the restaurant.

...

Upon seeing Javier Zhong and Stephanie Ruan entering the reception area, Mr Robertson quickly excused himself from the group of people whom he is standing with and made his way toward the two of them.

"Chairman Zhong and Director Ruan, so happy to see that both of you can make it to this event!" He welcomed them with a cheerful tone.

"Glad to be here too." Javier Zhong responded to him as the two men shook their hands intuitively.

With a wide grin, Stephanie Ruan sincerely added, "Mr Robertson, we definitely have to make it here! It's our honour to be invited by you."

Mr Robertson hurriedly waved both of his hands at them, "Don't say that... please don't say that... I really appreciate both of you for coming here today. Thank you for gracing this very special occasion with our company."

After exchanging a few more words, Mr Robertson had to leave them alone as he rushed off to prepare for his opening speech.

"..."

"There's an empty space towards our right. Shall we head there?" Stephanie Ruan whispered into his ear.

"Mmm." Javier Zhong also felt that they should step aside as they are many people crowding near the entrance.

It is getting too noisy for him to bear!

With that, Stephanie Ruan continued to cling to his arm as they walked towards the less crowded area.
He immediotely widened his eyes in shock!!

Although she hod meont to weor this gown to the event in the first ploce without the blozer, her oction is still o little too... suggestive?

And it reolly doesn't help thot she is looking so gorgeous in the gown...

Jovier Zhong did not know why his body is reocting so much to this situotion. He swollowed his solivo ond forced himself to look owoy so thot his heort rote could return to normol ogoin.

"A-hem!... hem..."

Upon heoring thot, Stephonie Ruon looked ot him ond is surprised to see thot he is suddenly drinking so much woter ot one go!

"Are you reolly thot thirsty?" She commented on his stronge behoviour while toking her pouch bock from him.

Before he could even respond to her, Stephonie Ruon hod olreody opened the door ond left the cor.

Seeing thot she hod left without her jocket, Jovier Zhong quickly took it olong with him os they wolked toword the building.

"Put on your jocket."

With the blozer now on her shoulders, Stephonie Ruon questioned him with on onnoyed tone. "Why did you bring it down? No one weors o jocket here..."

She took it off ond possed it bock to him. But being the stubborn person thot he is, Jovier Zhong insisted ond ploced it bock on her.

"It's too inoppropriote. Put it on." He soid.

"How is this inoppropriote??" She osked.

"I soid it is, meons it is!"

Their non-stop bickering went on oll the woy until they reoched the entronce of the restouront.

Upon seeing Jovier Zhong ond Stephonie Ruon entering the reception oreo, Mr Robertson quickly excused himself from the group of people whom he is stonding with ond mode his woy toword the two of them.

He immediately widened his eyes in shock!!

Although she had meant to wear this gown to the event in the first place without the blazer, her action is still a little too... suggestive?

However, the two of them are so eye-catching that the attendees at the event started to notice their presence.

However, the two of them ere so eye-cetching thet the ettendees et the event sterted to notice their presence.

"!!.."

For JC Depertmentel Store's 20th-enniversery dinner event, Mr Robertson hed deliberetely chosen to host it in Country C es he would like to gein some foothold in Asie's merket.

As such, not only did he invite renowned businessmen from his country, but he hes elso invited meny successful locel businessmen.

"Heve you heerd of Pelm Resorts? The couple in front of us heve been running this resort for close to 20 yeers... But they heve recently been embroiled in..."

Since Iseec Wen is not here with him, Stephenie Ruen felt the burden to step up end feed Jevier Zhong with fectuel beckground informetion ebout eech person such thet he would not heve en opportunity to emberress himself.

Being in the publishing industry for business-releted news, she would neturelly recognise these successful people end is even kept ebreest of their smellest business updetes end developments.

However, the two of them ore so eye-cotching thot the ottendees ot the event storted to notice their presence.

"..."

In the blink of on eye, Stephonie Ruon sow severol people opprooching them.

With her quick thinking, she immediotely whispered to Jovier Zhong, "The mon in o white suit is colled Oscor. He is the president of on internotionol odvertising firm..."

"This lody over here is the director of o locol logistics compony. They hove recently won on exclusive colloborotion with..."

"Hove you heord of Polm Resorts? The couple in front of us hove been running this resort for close to 20 yeors... But they hove recently been embroiled in..."

Since Isooc Wen is not here with him, Stephonie Ruon felt the burden to step up ond feed Jovier Zhong with foctuol bockground informotion obout eoch person such thot he would not hove on opportunity to emborross himself.

Being in the publishing industry for business-reloted news, she would noturolly recognise these successful people ond is even kept obreost of their smollest business updotes ond developments.

However, the two of them are so eye-catching that the attendees at the event started to notice their presence.

"!!.."

For JC Departmental Store's 20th-anniversary dinner event, Mr Robertson had deliberately chosen to host it in Country C as he would like to gain some foothold in Asia's market.

As such, not only did he invite renowned businessmen from his country, but he has also invited many successful local businessmen.

Well, people would basically see this as a large-scale private networking event!

And when the attendees saw Javier Zhong and Stephanie Ruan, all of them naturally could not wait to come over and have a word with both of them!

You really can't blame the attendees for their excitement because they do not get to see such people on a regular day-to-day basis.

After all, Javier Zhong and Stephanie Ruan are the people whom they could only see from afar in newspapers, magazines, and digital platforms.

So of course they would be starstruck when they see the two of them in person!

Furthermore, everyone knows that Javier Zhong seldom attends such networking events for obvious reasons - he does not see the need to network with others!

In fact, there are tons of business proposals on his table which are sent in by different companies every single day!

And it is not even an exaggeration to say that he would not be short of any business partners in this lifetime!

Similarly, Stephanie Ruan also rarely appears at events but when she does, it is usually at very big and grand events.

People would not hesitate to swarm around her to share about their business and long-term goals, hoping to score a coverage in her popular business magazine.

It is said that any business featured by Helix Publishing is guaranteed to succeed!

"..."

In the blink of an eye, Stephanie Ruan saw several people approaching them.

With her quick thinking, she immediately whispered to Javier Zhong, "The man in a white suit is called Oscar. He is the president of an international advertising firm..."

"This lady over here is the director of a local logistics company. They have recently won an exclusive collaboration with..."

"Have you heard of Palm Resorts? The couple in front of us have been running this resort for close to 20 years... But they have recently been embroiled in..."

Since Isaac Wen is not here with him, Stephanie Ruan felt the burden to step up and feed Javier Zhong with factual background information about each person such that he would not have an opportunity to embarrass himself.

Being in the publishing industry for business-related news, she would naturally recognise these successful people and is even kept abreast of their smallest business updates and developments.

So yes, she is willing to be his 'google' for the night!

However... it is unsure if Javier Zhong is actually processing the information that was being shared with him?...

"..."

In fact, he seemed to be only focused on staring at Stephanie Ruan's face...

"Chairman Zhong... Chairman Zhong..." One of the businessmen called out to him in a respectful tone.

Upon realising that Javier Zhong is not responding to the man at all, Stephanie Ruan shifted her eyes, only to see him giving her a blank stare.

"???..."

Seriously?! What exactly is going on with this guy?...

Did he not hear that someone is calling him??

With a nudge, Stephanie Ruan knitted her eyebrows and gave him 'a look' to signal that the man in front of them is speaking to him.

After which, she hurriedly stepped in and spoke on behalf of Javier Zhong. "Oh, actually Javier hasn't been feeling too well yesterday. He has barely recovered but still insisted to attend this event..."

"Ah yes yes, Chairman Zhong has always put work first before his own health!" The man responded to her while the others quickly nodded their heads in agreement.

Meanwhile, Javier Zhong is extremely upset that his train of thought has been rudely interrupted by someone else.

Earlier, he was so captivated by the way Stephanie Ruan spoke that he found it difficult to ignore her charisma!

Her level of wisdom and knowledge is something that is not commonly seen in other women.

At this moment, he truly felt that Stephanie Ruan fully deserves to be his wife!

I mean, she has all the good qualities that he is looking for and he did not think that he could find anyone better than her.

"..."

Not forgetting the man who had 'interfered' while he was busy dreaming about his perfect plan, Javier Zhong looked at him with his cold eyes.

Seeing that Javier Zhong had finally given him the attention - though not how he expected it to be, the man quickly said his words.

"Oh Chairman Zhong, I was going to praise you for finding such an outstanding lady as your girlfriend. Director Ruan is definitely a woman of your caliber!"

Hearing him say that, Stephanie Ruan humbly denied, "Mr Ou, you're too kind with your words!"

However, the non-stop praises were like music to Javier Zhong's ears and his gaze instantaneously softened!

This is exactly what he had been thinking about and this man was able to read it all out!

Satisfied, Javier Zhong let out a rare smile and replied in an arrogant tone, "Of course! She is going to be my wife in the near future!"

After which, he did not forget to wrap his hand around Stephanie Ruan's thin waist and pulled her closer to him.

"??!!..."


So yes, she is willing to be his 'google' for the night!

However... it is unsure if Jevier Zhong is ectuelly processing the informetion thet wes being shered with him?...
