Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 93

Jean's mind was a chaotic mess of thoughts. As she sat in the car, she wondered how she ended up like this. It was clear that she wanted to get Zed into trouble, but somehow she found herself in a predicament.

"Hey! Do you really plan on not going back to the villa tonight?" She asked tentatively.

"Isn't this what you suggested? You wished to enjoy a romantic night with me." Zed's deep voice and flirtatious banter enchanted Jean.

Jean scratched her head and said, "When did I say that I wanted to enjoy a romantic night with you?"

"Oh, so now you feign innocence? How about we go back to the villa and have this conversation in front of my parents?" Before Jean could reply, Zed had climbed out off the car. He seemed ready to go back to the villa.

"No, no, no!" Jean stopped him. "It doesn't matter. Since we can't return tonight, you can go wherever you want to go. I will go back to my little apartment. I hope you enjoy yourself." After saying that, Jean wore the seat belt.

"You don't get to decide what I am going to do!" Zed said sternly before putting the car into drive and speeding away.

He was driving so fast that Jean was scared. She closed her eyes and firmly grasped the handle of the car with both her hands. Ten minutes later, the car gradually began slowing down.

Feeling the reduction in speed, Jean opened her eyes. She found that she had been so frightened that she had broken into a cold sweat!

'Was this man mad? How could Zed drive like this? What if there was a car in front of them and he didn't brake in time? Then I would have died in a car crash at such a young age.'

Jean placed a hand on her chest to calm her racing heart. Then she turned to look outside the window. Her eyes widened in surprise when she noticed that they were parked in front of the community next to her apartment.

"How do you know that I wanted to collect my clothes?" Jean muttered out loud in surprise. She hadn't told Zed why she made all those excuses at the villa. How did he guess?

Zed didn't answer her question. Instead, he drove to the door of the community where Jean lived, pulled into a parking spot and turned off the engine.

"Thank you for escorting me home, goodbye!" Jean rushed out of the car and ran toward her home. It seemed as though she was trying to run away from Zed.

As soon as she stepped into the elevator, Jean uttered a sigh of relief. She closed her eyes and wished the doors would close quickly. However, just as the elevator doors had nearly closed, a foot stopped their movement.

A familiar and handsome face appeared in front of Jean. Jean was shocked by Zed's chilling expression and took a step back, "You… why are you following me?"

"Don't you know why I brought you here?" He smiled charmingly and walked into the elevator.

Hearing that, Jean became so flustered, she couldn't speak. She finally realized that Zed had planned to stay in her home. He didn't bring her here out of kindness. Jean suddenly felt a sense of failure. No matter what she did, Zed always got his way.

Jean unlocked the door to her apartment. Although she didn't want Zed to come, there was no use in arguing with him.

"Mr. Qi, please come in."

Jean said in a sickeningly sweet voice. Zed went in and glanced around her apartment. She lived in a small space. There was a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Although tiny, Jean's apartment looked very warm and welcoming. She hadn't bought much furniture. Nor had she bothered with many decorations. But the few knick-knacks she had, were sprinkled throughout her apartment. Compared to the big villa, Zed actually preferred this homely apartment.

"Are you thinking that my apartment is too crowded? You are right. My apartment is too tiny for you to live in. Go somewhere else!" Jean smiled and spoke politely before turning and walking away.

Her comments unnerved Zed and he lost his patience.

'I am the CEO of the Qi Group. I am not any less attractive or rich than Ethan Lei! In fact, I think I am better. But in Jean's heart, Ethan is more important than me.

Jean always refuses me no matter what the situation.'

Jean was sorting out the clothes that she was going to wear. Suddenly, the door slammed shut. Jean was so startled by the sound that she immediately stood up. Before she had the chance to react, strong hands grabbed her and threw her on the bed.

"Zed…" Before Jean could say anything more, Zed kissed her on the lips.

…

For the rest of the evening, Jean was completely captivated by Zed. It wasn't until they had finished did Jean gradually came to her senses.

Did she involuntarily have sex with Zed again? Jean hugged her quilt as she lay in bed. She wondered how to deal with such a situation. At that time, Zed was taking a shower in the bathroom. Jean stared at the ceiling, closed her eyes, and cursed him before she cursed herself.

Why was she so easily captivated by Zed? At first, she had tried to push Zed away. But why did she give up resisting? 'Damn it!'

Jean clamped her teeth as she climbed out of bed. She slipped on her pajamas before heading toward the bathroom. Jean happened to run into Zed who had just finished taking a shower and was headed back to the bedroom. And Zed's upper body was exposed!

Jean screamed in embarrassment and rushed into the bathroom. Her face flushed.

"Why don't you wear clothes?" Jean hid in the bathroom and shouted at Zed who was standing outside.

"We just had sex! You saw my body and I saw yours. Why are you feeling shy now?" Zed asked, perplexed by her behavior.

"You really are a shameless man!" came Jean's retort. Then, she kicked the door in frustration. However, the floor was slippery as Zed had just taken a bath. Jean lost her balance.

Zed heard a scream followed by the sound of a body hitting the ground.

Zed was shocked for a few seconds. Then he knocked on the door and asked, "What happened?"

When Jean didn't answer, Zed became anxious. He wanted to open the door but found that it was locked.

Boom! Zed kicked the door open and saw Jean lying on the ground and groaning in pain.

He immediately lifted Jean and carried her back to the bed. Without hesitating, he started tugging at her wet clothes.

"What are you doing… Hiss! It hurts so badly!" Jean felt so much pain that she almost burst into tears. But she still tried to stop Zed from taking off her clothes. She bit her lip and said, "I just got injured. Why are you still thinking about…"

"Your clothes got wet when you fell. You will catch a cold if you don't take them off!" Zed didn't like what Jean was implying. Frustrated, he stood and walked to the closet. After much rumbling around, he found a dress she could change into. Then he walked back to the bed, "I just wanted to help you change into dry clothes."

Jean turned crimson as she realized her mistake.

"No, I want to change by myself!" Jean puckered her lips. She looked like a stubborn child who was on the verge of throwing a tantrum because she didn't get her way. "It's your fault that I'm injured. Keep your hands to yourself!"

Zed ignored her childishness and said sternly, "Do you want me to change them for you or can you change by yourself?"

"I am perfectly capable, thank you very much. You can leave now!" Jean gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"You have only one minute. Change your clothes!" That said, Zed didn't turn around and walk toward the door. 'Does he intend on staying and watching?' Jean's eyes widened in surprise.

She knew that Zed wouldn't change his decision easily. If he didn't want to go out, no amount of arguing would convince him otherwise. And so she sighed in defeat, grabbed the dress he had found, and pulled the quilt over herself. If he wanted to be stubborn, the least she could do was not make it easier for him. What Jean didn't realize was that with her injuries, it would take a long time for her to change her clothes.

As Jean pushed the quilt away, her hair became an entangled mess. Embarrassed, she tried smoothening her hair. Messy hair, crimson cheeks, and a small but determined pout endeared Jean to Zed. He couldn't help smiling broadly.

He seemed to linger on purpose. Nothing else in the world was important enough to take him away from this scene.

"Why are you laughing at me? I fell down because of you. And there you stand, taking pleasure in my misfortune!" Jean yelled at Zed while clutching her thighs.

Jean's eyebrows were furrowed. It seemed that she was in severe pain. Zed stopped smiling and approached Jean, "Let me have a look!"
