Chapter 25 – You! Pervert!
“??!!…”
With Javier Zhong’s quick reflexes, he managed to catch the ‘flying pillow’ before it landed on his face!
But this is not all that he had to deal with!!Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Stephanie Ruan rushed towards him while pointing her index finger at his face, “You!!… How could you take off my clothes without my permission??!!”
She then snatched the pillow from his hands and continued to hit him with it, “Pervert!!… Such a pervert!!”
“Per… pervert??!!… Wait, your clothes… It’s not…” Startled by her sudden accusation, Javier Zhong is trying his best to explain himself to her while dodging her uncontrollable attacks.
However, Stephanie Ruan is too furious to stop and listen to his explanation.
In the next second, she threw a powerful kick to his crotch area and…
“!!!…”
Ouch!!!
Javier Zhong is in so much pain that he could not even utter a word!
At this moment, he is forced to lay on the ground unmoving and in a curled-up position.
He is in total disbelief that she would actually hit his…
“…”
After venting her anger at him, Stephanie Ruan managed to calm down a little and noticed that Javier Zhong’s face and neck are… a little red…
Was the kick really that bad??… She didn’t even remember using her full strength!!
But seeing that Javier Zhong is still lying motionless on the ground, she hesitatingly bent down to check on him.
“Hey… are you alright?…” With the pillow in her hands, she conveniently used it to tap him on his body.
Stephanie Ruan waited patiently but there is no response from him at all!
“What… don’t tell me he actually fainted??” Feeling worried about him, she went closer and held onto his face…
All of a sudden, Javier Zhong grabbed both of her arms and laid her on the floor while he swiftly came on top of her in a kneeling position.
“!!…”
Such a cunning opportunist!!
Despite pinning her to the ground, Javier Zhong is also careful to not injure her. He simply wanted to make sure that she is unable to make any more reckless attacks!
Knowing that she had completely fallen into his trap, Stephanie Ruan became mad at him again and questioned him with an unfriendly tone. “What are you trying to do?!”
Being held in such a vulnerable position, she really could not think of doing any other moves to defend herself.
Argh!! This guy must be a strong fighter too!!
Although Stephanie Ruan had learned self-defence, it is obvious that the moves wouldn’t work that well on a fit and muscular man like him.
After all, Javier Zhong is also a trained fighter and he would already know all of the tricks that she is trying to pull off.
This time, Javier Zhong retorted immediately. “This is what I should be asking you, what do you think you are doing??”
He added, “And as for your clothes, your little assistant changed them for you, not me!”
Thinking that she might be feeling uncomfortable sleeping in an evening gown, Javier Zhong was the one who had ordered Mia Xue to come in and change the outfit for her.
But instead of Stephanie Ruan being appreciative of his kind act, he is now being accused and treated as a pervert??
“…”
“Mia??… Oh… So it wasn’t you??” She looked at him guiltily.
Facing his fierce stare, Stephanie Ruan bit her lips and thought of what she should do next…
Well, I guess, in such a disadvantageous situation, she has no choice but to give in, “That… I’m sorry…”
Although Javier Zhong has accepted her apology in his heart, he still showed her a dissatisfied look on purpose.
“That’s all? How are you going to compensate me for that unnecessary kick??”
Upon hearing his unreasonable demand, she instantly rolled her eyes and asked herself, “Seriously??… How does he expect me to compensate him for that??”
Thinking for a few seconds, Stephanie Ruan glinted in her eyes.
With much enthusiasm, she responded to him, “Is it still painful? I’ll massage that area for you then!”
“??!!…”
In complete disbelief, he accidentally loosened his grip on her arms. This has naturally allowed Stephanie Ruan to move her hands freely again!
And seeing that her hand is actually reaching down to the lower part of his body, Javier Zhong instantly panicked and grabbed onto her hand.
“Forget it!” He rejected her with a cold voice.
“Alright, you said it!” She gladly accepted his decisive response.
Satisfied that her ‘plan’ had succeeded, she sneered at him discreetly and thought to herself, “Did he really think that she was going to touch him??”
No thanks…
No matter how much money he is going to give her, she would never want to lay a finger on him!
Meanwhile, Javier Zhong threw a cold stare and scolded her in his heart, “Could this woman be more conservative?! Who talks to a man like that?! Is she asking for a death wish?”
Earlier, Javier Zhong had intentionally questioned Stephanie Ruan just to tease her but who would have expected that he was the one being teased in the end!
…
As they walked down the staircase, Stephanie Ruan called out to Mia Xue, “Mia, what do you want for breakfast today?”
And there is no reply at all.
“This is weird… Has she left the house already?” She muttered to herself.
Since Stephanie Ruan is a better cook, she would usually take the initiative to prepare meals for Mia Xue as well.
But this is unusual… Mia Xue would always take her breakfast at home first before heading out…
The minute Stephanie Ruan tapped on her phone’s screen, she saw the message popping up.
[Director Ruan, don’t worry about my breakfast. I’m already out at a cafe nearby.]
Well, in fact, this was what Mia Xue is forced to send to her boss under the strict supervision of Isaac Wen.
I mean, she couldn’t possibly tell her that she had been chased out of the house and held hostage by Javier Zhong right??
But don’t worry, she would definitely find a way to expose all of his secret acts to Stephanie Ruan one day!!
…
Over in the kitchen, Stephanie Ruan, who has no clue about what is happening, has started to whip up a simple dish for their breakfast.
“We shall have the Classic Eggs Benedict with bacon today. You’re okay with that right?” She asked him casually while preparing the ingredients.
“You decide.” Javier Zhong stood in front of the kitchen island and watched her get busy.
Noticing that he is just standing there awkwardly, Stephanie Ruan chuckled, “You can take a seat outside. I’ll call you over when it’s done!”
However, Javier Zhong did not move an inch.
Instead, he looked at her with his deep eyes and asked a simple question, “Why did you come back?”
