Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

But that just showed that he was afraid of his wife and he would kneel to satisfy her.

It was hard to imagine Mr. Qi apologizing for anything.

According to rumor, Zed Qi never apologized. Even when he made a mistake, Zed would rather fix the situation than admit to having made a mistake.

"Honey, let's go home." Zed said as he lifted Jean in his arms. Then he turned and walked out of the club.

"Zed, you can't......" Sue tried to stop Zed from leaving but Eva interrupted before Sue could finish her sentence.

"Was that not humiliating enough for me?" Eva was furious. She glared at Sue.

"But the wine he just drunk....." Anxious that someone would hear, Eva covered Sue's mouth with her hand. She raised an eyebrow as a warning to Sue. With no other alternative, Sue silently watched Zed leave.

Back at the villa, Zed returned to his usual indifferent attitude. He pulled his tie loose and grabbed a bottle of ice water. Then, he headed for the balcony.

Jean stood by the window and quietly watched Zed. He seemed to be lost in his thoughts. It seemed that Zed was quite upset.

'Could it be that he still loves Eva? If so, then I did something really terrible.' Jean was anxious about the night's events. She nibbled on her nails as she wondered about Zed and Eva. She raised an eyebrow when she noticed that Zed had drunk the whole bottle of ice water. 'Was he cooling himself down?' She thought.

'Wait a minute! Is he going to kill me?

He can't blame me for that! It's his fault that he didn't tell me first......' Jean looked down and realized that she had been clutching the curtains so tightly that her nails had almost ripped through the fabric. After the evening they just had, and considering her uncertainty about Zed's feelings for Eva, Jean was hesitant to ask him about the land.

Lost in her thoughts, Jean had not noticed that Zed had entered the room. When she finally realized that she wasn't alone, Jean sucked in a deep breath and waited for Zed to say something. When only silence ensued, Jean slowly looked at Zed. The man was slightly drunk and his eyes reflected an emotion she was unfamiliar with.

At such close proximity, Jean could smell the alcohol on Zed. The smell wasn't too offensive as it was mixed with the aftershave he was wearing. When she looked at Zed's face, she realized that his eyes were unfocused. 'Had he drunk too much?'

Jean was surprised. Although Jean knew she shouldn't, she asked anyway, "Mr. Qi, are you satisfied with my performance tonight? And do you think that land could...... hmm......"

She was even more determined to end this arrangement. Jean feared that her father would force her to stay with Zed. That would allow Mr. Wen to manipulate Zed through Jean repeatedly. If
