Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 133

"Yes! You're right. She is the wife of Mr. Qi, the CEO of the Qi Group."

"You are good friends, right? Haven't you congratulated Jean yet?"

After Jean heard Maranda's query, Jean stopped talking with them and quickly looked at Maranda.

Maranda's face was filled with shock. Her bright eyes were wide-opened in daze.

"Maranda, I'm so sorry. I didn't intend to keep it from you?"

Jean bitterly smiled. 'I didn't even know how to describe my marriage to her before.' Jean contemplated deep in her heart.

If she hadn't been part of the Couples Show in the Fashion Weekly, she would not open her heart to Zed or tell him her true feelings for him. She found out that they have loved each other and have already treated each other as the most important person in their lives only after she did that.

Thinking about that, Jean took a deep breath and delightfully smiled.

Well, Jean had carefully thought about the situation she had to deal with after she agreed to be part of the show.

Since she and Zed were sure that they really loved each other, their marriage became true. There was already no reason to keep it as a secret to anyone.

"Maranda, won't you congratulate me?"

Jean looked at Maranda and smiled. Jean was really happy. And she wanted to receive Maranda's good wishes.

"I…" Maranda finally believed that Jean was Zed's wife. After she saw that Jean was cheerfully smiling, Maranda sincerely said, "Congratulations, Jean! I am happy for you. You finally found your own happiness."

"Thank you so much, Maranda!" At that moment, Maranda's good wishes seemed to be the best ones Jean had ever heard in the entire world. A shy smile gradually showed up on Jean's face again.

Their colleagues started to gathering around Jean. They also gave their good wishes to her. Jean found herself in the middle of their colleagues. She had no time to talk with Maranda that time. The only thing she could do was to helplessly smile to Maranda. Then, Maranda responded with a considerate smile.

"John, Jean is Zed Qi's wife! Have you known that before?" A colleague curiously asked when she noticed that John was about to step out of his office.

John, who was walking with his head down, suddenly stopped when he heard what his colleague said. He looked around and finally found Jean who was helplessly smiling.

"Yeah, John. You and Jean are closer to each other than the rest of us. You must have known about that even before!" Another colleague curiously added.

"I'm not that kind of person who likes to gossip." John apathetically said. Then, he left without looking at anyone.

After they saw John's reaction, everyone felt a bit dejected, and soon left.

Jean heaved a long sigh of relief when she saw that everyone was sitting back on their seats. She turned around and saw that Maranda was dazzled for a long time. Maranda's eyes were staring straight at the direction where John left.

Jean raised her hand and shook it in front of Maranda. Jean curiously asked, "What are you thinking?"

Jean's words interrupted Maranda's deep contemplation. Maranda looked at Jean's face and seriously asked her, "Jean, tell me honestly. Did John know about your marriage before?"

"Why… Why did you ask so?" Jean had noticed that Maranda liked John. 'Is it…'

Jean's eyes sparkled in astonishment. She looked at Maranda from head to toe.

In all honesty, Maranda was also a beautiful lady.

Maranda was outgoing, while John was handsome and reserved. They were perfect for each other.

If Maranda was really interested in John, it would be very great.

"I…" Maranda, who was always outgoing, suddenly became a little shy after she heard Jean's words. Her face was flushing. She didn't know how to answer Jean.

"That's fine. Even if you won't tell me, I already knew it." Jean thought that the answer was already clear after she saw Maranda's expression. Jean slightly smiled and said, "Maranda, if you fall in love with someone, you must be brave. Show your intention and don't hesitate."

"Jean…" Her secret had already been revealed. Maranda stamped her feet and ran back to her seat with her face flushing. She found herself too shy to look at Jean.

'Maranda is always bold and outgoing. She acts what she thinks.' A smile eventually showed up on Jean?'s face. Then she got back to her work happily.

Jean went directly back to the villa after she got off work. She took the chicken soup that Zelda made, and immediately went to the Qi Group's building.

I haven't seen Zed for a long time.'

Zed went to work early and came back home late every day after he returned from Sanya. Though they slept on the same bed, she wasn't able to see Zed at all. She would already be asleep when Zed would go and sleep by her side.

Jean couldn't wait to see Zed soon.

She was so excited. She couldn't wait to get on the elevator and go to the floor where Zed's office was located.

Jean tried to suppress the joy in her heart when she got out of the elevator. She went to the bathroom to fix her make-up first.

Though she was just wearing light makeup, it still made Jean look very energetic and charming.

Jean nodded to herself with content, and went outside with the chicken soup she was holding.

"Have you heard about it? Recently, Selena frequently came here to see our CEO. She will stay in his office for several hours. Do you think she will replace Mrs. Qi, and become the next wife of Mr. Qi?" A woman excitedly said with a shrill voice.

The smile on Jean's face suddenly froze. She was so shocked about what she just heard. She stopped walking all of a sudden.

"It is hard to judge. After all, Selena is an international superstar. She is really beautiful. Aside from that, she is greatly popular. She's the best woman that could match our CEO, both in terms of appearance and identity." Another woman said.

"But you have seen the news today, haven't you? Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi had been in a show together. If they don't really love each other, our CEO won't allow himself to be part of that show."

"It seems that you don't know much about that. Just recently, our company had been in a financial crisis. To save our company's reputation, Mr. Qi had to publicly display his affection with Mrs. Qi by being part of that variety show. It has nothing to do with true love."

Hearing that, Jean felt that there was no reason for her to continue listening to them.

She forced a smile and slowly walked out with a heavy heart.

In the eyes of a lot of people, she was a mismatch for Zed.

She already knew that and constantly reminded herself the gap between them and that she shouldn't take their marriage seriously.

Jean still felt upset when she heard the gossips even though she and Zed had already opened their hearts and exchanged their feelings with each other.

'Why is there nobody optimistic about our relationship?

Does nobody sincerely hope us to have a happy life?' Jean asked herself.

Jean also clearly knew about Selena's intentions.

She clenched her fists and immediately strode to Zed's office.

Zed was her husband. Before finding out the truth, she must be faithful to him no matter what happened.

"Mrs. Qi, when did you arrive here?" The secretary nervously turned his eyes away from the computer. He was shocked when he saw that Jean abruptly opened the door of the CEO's office.
