Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 132

Jean could not move her body when she heard what he said. She stayed motionless for at least one minute .She was so happy and surprised about what she heard.

She slightly pushed him away a minute later. Then, she confusingly asked him, "What did you just say?"

"I said I didn't want you to leave me." Then, he tightly hugged her again.

Jean bit her lip while her tears slowly lingered in her eyes. She wasn't self-absorbed; she had not taken it wrong. She really had a special place in his heart.

She wept her tears of joy and hugged him tightly in return. For the first time, she felt that the night could be so beautiful.

"There is one more thing I really wanted to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Do you still remember that incident in Kim Village? After you left, Ethan came to me. I always wanted to explain this, but I didn't know how to open it up to you."

She knew that Zed knew about that incident. She was afraid that he might misunderstand it. Moreover, she didn't also know how to bring the matter up.

Finally, she got the chance to tell him about it.

Zed was shocked when Jean said her words. After a while, he let her go. He furrowed his eyebrows and stared at her with his serious eyes. Then he said, "Was it all true?"

"What did you think it was? Did you you think I made it all up for you?"

His suddenly got relieved. His dark and deep eyes turned extremely bright. Then his lips curved up and formed a nice arc.

She felt like a shadow cast over her. Then, a pair of soft lips touched her mouth. She paused for a second. After a while, she moved her mouth and responded to what he did.

The night was so beautiful. Two silhouettes were hugging each other under the moon light. They were part of the perfect view of the beach.

They had a fruitful and amazing night. It was so fruitful that someone could not even get up in the morning.

The day finally came. They had to go back to H City. Jean had rarely seen Zed in the following three days. Their initial plan of a one week trip turned to be half a month trip. The Qi Group must have piled tons of work for him to do.

He went back home every day and she waited for him there. She always fell asleep while waiting for him. She could absurdly feel that a person would lie down beside her. But when she woke up, the person would already be gone.

After she woke up on that one morning, the space on the bed beside her was still warm. Jean paused for a while. Then she immediately put her pajama on and ran downstairs. Zelda was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Their huge living room was empty; she could not see anybody.

Zelda stepped out of the kitchen when she heard a noise. She saw that Jean was going downstairs. Then she asked, "Mrs. Jean, why did you get up so early? Are you hungry? The breakfast is not yet ready. Can you wait for a few minutes?"

"Zelda, where is Zed?"

"Mr. Zed just left ten minutes ago."

"Oh." She disappointedly went back to her room. She sat on the edge of the bed for a while and contemplated. Then she dressed and cleaned herself up.

She arrived at the company she worked in with a gloomy mood. She turned on the computer and stared at the blank screen like she usually did.

Then, a clattering noise sounded nearby. Maranda came out of nowhere with a photo in her hand.

After she saw that Jean didn't respond, Maranda waved the photo in the front of Jean's face and said, "Hey, what are you dreaming of? Wake up, Jean! Guess what it is in my hand." Maranda excitingly waved the photo in the air.

Jean was finally back to her senses and sighed. She shook her head and said, "I don't care."

Maranda was so shocked that time. She put down the photo in her hand and touched Jean's forehead. After that, she worriedly asked her, "Jean, are you fine?"

"Yes, I am fine. What's wrong?"

"I sensed that something is wrong with you. You have been so preoccupied lately. Have you fallen in love with some guy?" Maranda couldn't miss that chance to tease her.

Jean was absent-minded because she was lovesick. Jean implicitly lauged. "What do you want to show me?"

Maranda turned her eyes at her. Then, she picked up the photo and said, "Look! I finally got Selena's autograph!"

Maranda was so happy. She just went shopping with her friend in the mall when she suddenly saw Selena. Though Selena was wearing a cap and a mask, Maranda still recognized her.

So, she didn't let that opportunity pass. She immediately asked for her autograph.

Jean was amazed by what Maranda said. Selena was a celebrity. Why did she show up in a crowded place such as the mall. Wasn't she worried about being recognized. It could have caused her a lot of trouble.

"You haven't gottten her autographed photo even though you were hanging out with her for a few days. Well me, I just ran towards her and effortlessly asked for it. She was really nice, pretty and polite."

She was absorbed in her own world when she said those words.

Jean helplessly shook her head and sighed. To be a celebrity was not an easy job. She thought that Selena had to maintain her shining image to the public while being secretly in love with a married man.

Though Selena knew Zed earlier than she did…

Maranda hung out with her and had some catching up. Jean was baffled about everything Maranda had said. After they hung out, Selena called Zelda over the phone.

"Zelda, please cook some nutritious soup for me. I will have it when I come back after my work. Please make it on time." She didn't want to have a cold chicken soup.

"Sure, Mrs. Jean."

After she hung the phone up, she heard a scream. It tore the silent atmosphere of their company.

A staff was looking at her computer screen and excitedly exclaimed, "Breaking news! CEO of Qi Group and his wife participated in the Couples Show for the first time."

A staff who was busy with his copy writing job raised his head and asked, "What is Couples Show?"

His words made the other employees chuckle.

Jean sat still for a while. She didn't expect that she would be on the news. She eagerly opened the webpage of the variety show and inputted the key words.

She was slightly afraid. She feared that she might get attention from others.

After she opened the page, she found out that she and Zed were on the headline. Zed and Jean's photo together that was taken when they went to Sanya hugely appeared on the page.

That was great! Everyone knew about it! She never wanted to let others know that they had shot for that program. However, the more she wanted to avoid it, the more it could possibly happen.

The whole office suddenly turned quiet. All eyes were looking at her.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

"Jean, we are your colleagues. How could you keep such kind of things from us?"

"Right. You and your husband love each other so much. You knew you would appear on TV anyway, why did you still keep it from us? We would have not known about it if we had not seen you on the news."

"You owe us wedding gifts!"

Eventually, everyone chatted with her. Some were buttering her up. Some were trying to establish their friendship well while some were reminding her about their friendship.

Jean felt like her head was going to explode that time. The noise kept tingling in her ears; and it never stopped.

Maranda was very confused when their colleagues asked about the show time of the program. She tried to understand what was happening that moment.

"Jean, they…" Maranda pointed at their colleagues, then she pointed at Jean, "Jean is already married?"

"Yeah. Don't you know that?"
