Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 109

Jean could finally relax after everything had passed.

Whenever she wanted to relax, she would like to sleep for a long time. Unfortunately, she couldn't do that even though she was just acting.

She was surprised to find out that Zed wasn't at the room when she woke up.

She had no plans for the whole day. So, she went to Zelda and help her with their lunch.

After they had their lunch, Jean wanted to take a nap. But Jade stopped her while she was going upstairs.

"Jean, do you have plans for later?"

Jean paused and thought to herself, 'Would it be shopping again?'

"I don't have, mom. Why?"

"Zed is pretty busy these days. He already has no time to take good care of himself. Zelda made some soup. Can you send it to Zed later?"

"Okay, mom."

Even though she didn't want to, she had no other choice.

After a while, Luke drove the car and sent her to Zed's company.

It was noon that time. Most people went to the restaurant which was run by Qi Group to have lunch.

Jean took the thermal bucket that contained the soup and went into the elevator. There were very few people going up. So, she arrived at the CEO's floor very quickly.

As soon as she came out of the elevator, she met the secretary heading towards her direction. The secretary was a bit surprised to see her. He greeted Jean politely, "Mrs. Qi."

"Are you going to have lunch?" Jean asked.

"Yeah." The secretary nodded and looked at the bucket. He smiled and asked, "Did Mrs Qi bring a lunch for boss?"

"Well..." She awkwardly smiled and answered, "I just thought that he was too busy to come home recently, so I brought him some soup. Is he inside now?"

The secretary nodded and answered, "Yes, boss is pretty busy these days. There was something wrong with an important project. He came back from the trip immediately and had worked for a whole day and a whole night. That's why he didn't come home. Then he eagerly checked and approved the documents the following day. Please persuade him to have a rest and take care of himself. He really needs it."

'The night before yesterday? The whole night?'

Jean paused and frowned, "You mean he stayed here the whole after he came back?"

"Yeah. Didn't you know?" The secretary asked. He strangely looked at her.

"No, I didn't. I was on a business trip that day. Anyway, see you later."

"See you!" The secretary answered.

Jean stood by the door of the CEO's office and hesitated to go in.

It turned out that she misunderstood him. How could she just easily believe Eva's words?

Maybe they had just a dinner and nothing more.

However, it didn't matter anyway. It had nothing to do with her anymore.

She gently knocked on the door. Then a voice came out from the room after ten seconds. The voice was as cold as an ice.

"Come in."

Jean pushed the door and found that Zed was signing some papers.

He looked very tired. He raised his head up and was surprised to see her.

A mixture of different joys was showed in his eyes. Then he asked, "What are you doing here?" Then he continued to look at the documents.

Seeing his condition, she realized that he had been working for several days in a row. It really tugged her heartstrings.

She walked towards him and opened the bucket. The enticing smell of chicken soup spread all over the office.

"I brought you some soup made by Zelda. I guess, you haven't had lunch yet. Have some chicken soup." She handed him a bowl of warm soup after she spoke.

Zed took it and doubtfully asked, "Since when did you start caring for me?"

"I just followed your mother's request. She asked me to bring you the soup and make sure you take it." Jean answered peacefully.

"Did she?" He lifted his eyelids cautiously. Then he tasted the soup.

After Zed finished the soup, Jean tried to refill his bowl before Zed could close the bucket. His face wasn't as pale as before. "I'm already full, " Zed said.

"Was it already enough for you?" Jean surprisingly asked.

"You think I'm like you? A food lover?" He glanced at her blandly.

Jean curled her lips without saying a single word. She packed the stuffs up and prepared to leave.

"That's it?" asked Zed.

"Anything else?" She looked puzzled while she carried the bucket.

"There will be a party tonight."

"A party?" Jean paused and asked, "What kind of party?"

"You don't have to worry about it. All you have to do is attend." He answered with a blank facial expression.

'Attending a party...'

She raised her head up and gently asked him, "Can I not attend?"

"You can't. Every member of Qi Group should go."

Her only hope was ruined.

She didn't want to go to the party. But it seemed that she should go because Zed's parents will go, too.

Moreover, she would attend that party with them as the daughter-in-law of Qi family.

She was so frustrated and annoyed. She never liked that kind of parties. And worse, she needed to wear an evening dress.

Zed seemed to know what made her upset, "Casual dress would be fine. No big deal."

"Casual dress?" Jean finally felt relieved. However... There was another problem. Even though she could just wear a casual dress, she got no appropriate dress for a party.

Then she suddenly realized that Jade bought her some fancy dresses when they went shopping yesterday.

She didn't expect that those dresses would be used so soon.

She didn't feel worried anymore. She finally nodded and said, "Okay. I'm leaving now."

He didn't answer her that time.

After Jean got back home, she held the dresses in front of the mirror. She had no idea which dress to choose.

Fortunately, Jade came in and helped her choose one.

Jean took a long time to dress herself up so she would not embarrass Qi Group. She tucked up her hair, wore a Chanel dress and a pair of high-heeled sandals. She looked so enchanting!

She seemed to be a new person inside and out. A debutante, to be more specific.

After she got herself ready, Jean rode the car with Zed's parents and went to the party.

It was already dark. The bustling city showed the splendid night scene. Jean, indeed, liked the city she grew up. Though she didn't have a good memory there, it didn't not stop her from loving everything there.

They arrived in the destination in about half an hour. Zed was standing by the gate in a tight suit.

He was tall. The fancy suit made him more handsome and fascinating, even when he wore his usual cold face.

A lot of debutantes passed and stood nearby. They wanted him to be their escort. But nobody dared to get so close because of his cold face.

He was as honored as an emperor that day.
