146 Love Story's Villain

Pushing him out of the door, Ru eventually heaved a sigh of relief. She stood alone before the glass windows and looked over the beautiful scenery outside. Although she had said she was going to catch up on sleep, it wasn't like she could. Her insomnia was just like her fate; both weren't in her control at all.

But how desperately she wanted to control both was only known to her. After Xiao Zhi Ren left, there was no one to make any sound in the big condo. All that was left was herself. At times like these, she realized how lonely she was.

Using work as her distraction, she chose to spend her day dealing with business. In her opinion, being a billionaire needed hard work but staying a billionaire needed harder work!

On Xiao Zhi Ren's end, he was really ticked off with Ru's words. Did she have to bring Alev Knight's name up? It ruined such a sweet moment of their banter. For him, these small banters were a form of a lovers quarrel. It would only make their bond stronger.

He dialed a number and as the other person picked up, he said, "Adrian, do you think Alev Knight has a girlfriend?"

"Cough! Cough! Have you lost your mind early in the morning?" Adrian's dramatic response came immediately. "And why are you ruining my day by talking about that bastard?"

"Can't you simply answer my question?"

"But I'm not that close to him. I do know that Alev is a smooth-talker and adding his enchanting eyes along with his deadly gorgeous face, he can allure any girl. As for the girlfriend part, I'm not sure."

Xiao Zhi Ren couldn't help but nod along. Even though he couldn't see Alev Knight's face, what he saw was enough to tell that Alev was an alluring man.

"You are right. His blue eyes held some kind of charm." Xiao Zhi Ren agreed.

"Hold on, you met him? And what? Blue eyes?" Adrian almost screeched making Xiao Zhi Ren flinch. "This man is unbelievable. Seriously! People don't even change clothes as much as he changes his colored lenses. I wonder what is his obsession."

"You mean blue is not his color?"

"Who knows! We can only wonder. Anyways, you are such a traitor. Where have you been? You don't even call anymore." Adrian complained.

"This is my age to look for a girlfriend. I don't have time to waste on you." Xiao Zhi Ren replied back.

"What? Girlfriend? Aren't you obsessed with a girl? The one who rules your dreams and reality." Adrian teased him.

"She does rule my dreams." Xiao Zhi Ren answered with a sweet smile while reclining back on his chair. "As for reality, it seems like Alev Knight is coming between my love story as a villain."

"Pfft!" With a fit of laughter Adrian added, "You mean, Alev Knight is your love rival? Haha! Why don't you just give up?"

"Why? Why should I give up?" Xiao Zhi Ren grew defensive.

"Because from the moment I have known Alev, he had never lost. As in like never ever!" Adrian answered honestly.

"I will make him lose this time. For sure!" Xiao Zhi Ren didn't know whether he was convincing Adrian or himself. Because even he knew that his love life's biggest obstacle was Ru herself. How was he supposed to move a stone-cold person's heart? Or precisely, how was supposed to make her believe that she had a heart filled with feelings?

"Then I'm rooting for you. After all, my life's goal is to see that narcissistic bastard fall."

"Narcissistic?"

"Yeah! Didn't I tell you before? That jerk is too full of himself!"

'She is also full of herself. They both even have that in common. How am I going to win?' Xiao Zhi Ren was racking his brain. "You depressed me even more. Go and attend some fundraiser. I'm hanging up!" Before Adrian could ask the reason for his sudden outburst, Xiao Zhi Ren had really hung up the phone.
