domineering CEO Zhao Zilong

Chapter 23 Lin Wan'er's Proposal

Lin Wan'er tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Her mind kept replaying the fact that she and Zhao Zilong were going to register their marriage the next day.

Lin Wan'er was very excited. She felt that although she was thirty years old this year, her life had just begun.

She lost both her parents at a young age and was raised by her grandparents.

Although her grandparents treated her very well, Lin Wan'er's childhood was still filled with shadows. She was lonely, isolated, and longed for someone to take care of her.

So when she met Zhao Zilong, she fell in love at first sight.

She knew it was only natural for her to fall in love with Zhao Zilong, but she was unwilling to give up her dignity and pride.

Although Zhao Zilong was very outstanding and capable, he was, after all, someone else's husband.

Moreover, she is also a doctor, and she has some disgust and contempt for men like Zhao Zilong.

Therefore, Lin Wan'er decided to wait until Zhao Zilong got divorced before getting together with him.

In all these days, she hasn't forgotten the man she once loved. The man who abandoned her—she hates him to the core and wants to kill him!

But reality slapped Lin Wan'er hard in the face.

She knew she couldn't do it, because her hatred for that man had seeped into her very bones and soul.

So when she heard that Zhao Zilong was about to get married, and that his wife was her best friend, she felt a pang of pain deep inside.

But she knew she couldn't do anything against her conscience.

Lin Wan'er spent a sleepless night.

The next morning, she got up with dark circles under her eyes, washed up, and went to the living room to prepare breakfast.

As she walked to the kitchen door, she suddenly remembered that she had said yesterday that she and Zhao Zilong would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate, and she was startled.

She said those things yesterday in a moment of excitement and confusion. She doesn't want any unpleasantness to arise after registering her marriage with Zhao Zilong tomorrow; that would be awkward.

Thinking of this, she immediately turned around and went back to her bedroom, picked up her phone and dialed Zhao Zilong's number.

"Hello, the user you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later..." Zhao Zilong's cold voice came through the phone.

"Turn it off?" Lin Wan'er frowned.

No wonder he didn't come home all night; his phone was already switched off.

"Hmph, I don't believe you'll never turn it on." Lin Wan'er snorted coldly and turned to go into the kitchen.

"Ding-dong~ Ding-dong..."

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Lin Wan'er went to open the door and saw a man in a suit standing outside.

"Are you Miss Lin Wan'er?" the man asked with a slight smile and polite manner.

"It's me. May I ask what's the matter?" Lin Wan'er asked, puzzled.

"Here's the thing, Mr. Zhao asked me to give this to you." The man handed a package to Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er took the box, feeling even more confused.

She didn't know the man, nor did she recognize the gift.

But since Zhao Zilong instructed the other party to deliver the items to his home, it shows that he takes this matter very seriously.

Since that's the case, then accept it and see what it is.

Thinking of this, Lin Wan'er nodded: "Thank you, please put your things down."

The man nodded upon hearing this, placed the items at the door, and then turned and left.

After the man left, Lin Wan'er opened the door and took out the packaging box.

It's a very ordinary little box with the words "wedding ring" written on it.

This was the wedding ring Zhao Zilong had prepared for her, but Lin Wan'er felt no gratitude, only anger.

This is because it doesn't fit Zhao Zilong's style. Zhao Zilong's personality is such that he would directly tell the other party that he doesn't like Lin Wan'er, so he wouldn't prepare a wedding ring for her.

But now, Zhao Zilong has sent a small box containing a simple diamond ring, which means that Zhao Zilong does not want to get married; he is being forced into it.

Lin Wan'er felt very angry and aggrieved.

All of this was forced upon her by Zhao Zilong.

Lin Wan'er put the wedding ring in her pocket and then turned and went back into the house.

Zhao Zilong was taking a shower in the bathroom; his clothes had long been thrown into the trash can in the bathroom.

Lin Wan'er went into the bathroom.
