domineering CEO Zhao Zilong

"Brother Zilong!" Lin Wan'er called out coquettishly, then quickly walked to Zhao Zilong's side and affectionately took his arm.

Zhao Zilong smiled at Lin Wan'er, his eyes filled with affection. He gently patted Lin Wan'er's hand and said, "Long time no see, Wan'er. How have you been lately?"

"It's not bad, I just miss you a little," Lin Wan'er said, her face slightly flushed.

The burly bodyguard standing to the side saw this and wondered to himself: Who is this kid? Why is he so intimate with the young lady? But he didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only stand silently to the side.

Zhao Zilong looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late, let's go get some food together. I know a restaurant that serves really good food."

"Okay!" Lin Wan'er happily agreed.

So, Zhao Zilong left the scene with Lin Wan'er, leaving behind a burly bodyguard looking puzzled. The two went to a restaurant recommended by Zhao Zilong. The restaurant had an elegant environment and a romantic atmosphere, which Lin Wan'er liked very much.

Zhao Zilong pulled out a chair for Lin Wan'er, and the two sat facing each other. After ordering their food, they began to chat, sharing snippets of their lives.

Lin Wan'er poured out her troubles at the company, and Zhao Zilong listened patiently, offering advice and comfort from time to time.

As they chatted, Lin Wan'er's mood gradually brightened. She looked at Zhao Zilong gratefully, a warmth rising in her heart.

After the meal, Zhao Zilong escorted Lin Wan'er home. Downstairs at her apartment building, Zhao Zilong gently hugged Lin Wan'er and told her to get some rest.

Lin Wan'er reluctantly bid farewell to Zhao Zilong and turned to walk into the stairwell. She knew that her feelings for Zhao Zilong were gradually deepening. Back home, Lin Wan'er lay on her bed, recalling the moments she had shared with Zhao Zilong that day, a happy smile spreading across her face.

She took out her phone and sent a message to Zhao Zilong: "Thank you, Brother Zilong, I'm very happy today."

Zhao Zilong quickly replied to her: "Wan'er, I'm also very happy to be with you. Remember to get some rest, goodnight."

Lin Wan'er held her phone and smiled sweetly.

However, Zhao Zilong, on the other hand, fell into deep thought. He knew his feelings for Lin Wan'er were more than just friendship, but he also understood the vast difference between them. He decided to hold back his feelings for now, silently protecting her until the day he was truly worthy of her. As the days passed, Zhao Zilong and Lin Wan'er's relationship grew increasingly close. They spent many wonderful moments together, whether eating, shopping, or watching movies, every moment bringing Lin Wan'er immense happiness.

However, Lin Wan'er's father noticed the change in his daughter. He began investigating Zhao Zilong's background and discovered that he was just an ordinary young man with only modest family influence. Fearing that his daughter would be harmed, Lin's father decided to stop their relationship.

One day, Lin's father approached Zhao Zilong and directly stated his position. Zhao Zilong did not back down; he firmly told Lin's father that his feelings for Lin Wan'er were genuine and that he would strive to become a better person worthy of her.

After a moment of silence, Lin's father finally said he would give him a chance, and if he could achieve certain success in his career, he would no longer object to them being together.

Zhao Zilong knew this was a difficult challenge, but determined to be with Lin Wan'er, he resolved to give it his all. From then on, he worked even harder, constantly improving his abilities. Zhao Zilong began working day and night, while also using his spare time to learn various knowledge and skills. Lin Wan'er, unaware of the agreement between her father and Zhao Zilong, assumed he was simply busy with work. After some time, Zhao Zilong, through his hard work and talent, successfully closed a major deal, earning his boss's appreciation and a promotion and raise. He couldn't wait to tell Lin Wan'er the good news, and the two agreed to celebrate. That evening, Zhao Zilong meticulously prepared a romantic dinner. By candlelight, he solemnly confessed his love to Lin Wan'er. Lin Wan'er was moved to tears and gladly accepted Zhao Zilong's love. When Lin's father learned of this, although he still had some concerns, seeing Zhao Zilong's efforts and achievements, he had no choice but to acquiesce to their relationship. From then on, Zhao Zilong and Lin Wan'er walked happily together, facing future challenges together.
