Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 136

Jean comforted herself over and over again before she walked towards Zed's ward.

As soon as she walked into the ward, she saw that Zed was staring at her with his smiling eyes, but he didn't say anything though.

That was not Jean's first time to see Zed act that way after he was ill.

She felt that Zed had already changed his attitudes after he had been ill.

His eyes were full of tenderness and affection. Zed looked so gentle and really enchanting.

Jean felt that her cheeks turned hot again when she had thought about that. Her face clearly showed that she felt awkward. After a while, she walked towards Zed's bed and took a glance at him.

Zed liked to make fun of Jean. He noticed that Jean's face flushed every time he gently and attentively gazed at her. Jean acted anxiously when he looked at her. That was sweet and charming.

Jean was so restless and bewildered that she didn't know where to look after she saw Zed's fiery and affectionate eyes.

She just looked everywhere except at Zed's direction. When she saw the bowl and the thermal kettle on the table, she walked towards it and began to put the things away.

After Zed saw that Jean was busy doing that, he stopped her hastily and said, "Don't bother. The nurse will come her later to put those things away."

"That's fine. I will do it quickly."

Jean would rather find something to do than to directly look at Zed's face. His eyes were really alluring her. They made her heart beat rapidly and her flush.

She was afraid that she might not be able to resist Zed's temptation. It would be very shameful if something strange happened between the two of them inside the ward.

In addition, Zed was still ill and had not fully recovered yet.

"I am sure that you have met Selena. Aren't you curious about why Selena was in my office?"

Zed spoke to her apathetically.

After Jean walked out of the ward, Zed seized the chance and called his secretary over the phone to ask what had really happened in his office that day.

Just as he expected, Jean didn't disappoint him.

"Selena?"

When she heard that name, Jean stopped what she was doing. Then, an odd expression suddenly appeared on her face.

"It was you who mentioned that woman. It wasn't me!"

Jean turned around, looked at Zed and stood still there waiting for his reply.

Zed didn't care when he noticed that Jean was still trying hard to pretend that she didn't care about what happened at all. Yet, deep in heart, she badly wanted to know the truth.

Zed cleared his throat and teased her, "Okay. I am going to have a rest now. It seems like you don't want to know why Selena was in my office."

"Wait! Why was she there? I want to know the truth." When she saw Zed's drowsy look, Jean immediately replied without hesitation.

However, she felt so regretful after she said that. She felt dejected when she found out that Zed had been struggling hard not to burst into laughter.

'Damn it! You were just teasing me.' Jean thought.

"I don't care. I'm not interested about why Selena was in your office." Jean grunted like a kid. She turned her back on Zed and continued what she had been doing.

Zed didn't change his ridiculing face until he found out that Jean was getting angry. After a while, he seriously said, "I invested in a movie several days ago. Selena was the leading actress in that movie. You knew that, right? "

Jean's face cooled down. Her anger was slowly dispersed after she realized that Zed wasn't teasing her, but rather, he was seriously explaining what happened to her.

"Selena is a very professional actress. She proposed a lot of ideas which are really useful. That's why she had been frequently visiting the Qi Group. But, to be honest, before I invested in that movie, I had never allowed her to get into my office. Instead, I always asked my secretary to entertain her concerns. She went to my office again that day. But like you, I had no idea what she went for."

Zed's dark eyes suddenly gleamed while he was explaining.

Selena had just possibly used her job as an excuse to approach him. She didn't behave inappropriately in front of Zed though. It was just reasonable that Zed hadn't taken any action against it since Selena hadn't gone too far.

But Selena challenged and confronted Jean in public that time. If he still tolerated and forgave Selena for what she had done, Zed was definitely a bastard. She could not be Jean's lawful husband if he did that.

If Zed really cared about Jean, he should ask Selena to apologize to Jean personally, even if he had to withdraw his investment in that movie.

Selena had annoyed his woman, yet she still had the courage to act in that movie. If Zed really loved Jean, he should let Selena know that she should pay for what she had done to Jean.

Would Zed do that for her?

Jean didn't know why she was in such emotional turmoil. She just bitterly looked at the straightforward man before her while she couldn't say anything more. She just lowered her head and muttered. "You don't need to explain that to me. You just dealt with Selena because of your business."

"But Walter said that you and Selena had a feud." After he continued his words, Zed noticed that Jean's face was a bit grumpy. He felt happy and a bit amused when he saw Jean's jealous face.

"No, nothing bad happened between Selena and I. I was just worried about your health." Jean hurriedly replied.

"Really? Sweetie, I am anxious that you might misunderstand me and become upset." Zed heaved a helpless sigh and reached his hand out to Jean after he figured that Jean didn't want to tell the truth to him.

Jean was baffled to see his fair, slim and long hand reaching her. After a while, she bit her lips and placed her hand on his.

Her little hand was quickly wrapped by Zed's huge, warm and tender hand.

"Honey, you are so stupid." Zed pulled Jean's hand with a slight force to wrap her in his arms. Then, he comforted Jean with his tenderness and affection, and said, "You are my wife. I will not let anyone bully you! Jean, from now on, you should not keep your grievances to yourself. You should tell me when you feel upset. You got it?

"Did you know what happened between me and Selena?" She replied after her mind went blank for a while. Jean was so shocked and looked at Zed's face after she heard what he said to her.

Zed nodded and said, "Hmm, I called my secretary and asked what happened between you and Selena at my office."

"I......" Jean suddenly flushed. She felt a bit upset and asked, "When I pushed your office's door open, I found that Selena was intimately massaging your back. I didn't know you were sick. I was wrong. Selena went to your office just for talk with you about the movie, as what you've said. If I had just know it, I would've not argued with her. I can understand if you blame me for all that happened.

"You didn't understand what I said, did you? I care about you so much. I won't let anyone hurt you even a little. I can withdraw my investment and fire her if she hurts or annoys you again. I don't care if she would go to my office anymore." Zed ruthlessly and apathetically said.

Jean was really moved by what Zed said at that moment. She had never thought that Zed would treat her so kindly.

"Well......"

"It was my mistake. I've already known that Selena always come to me with hidden evil intents. I should have not let her come near me, but I haven't. Jean, I promise, this will not happen again. I will not give any other woman you hate any chance to get close to me." Zed promised to Jean face to face.

"You don't need to make a promise. As long as I know that you love me, that would be enough. Jean hurriedly replied.

She didn't want to be a jealous woman. She knew that it would affect her relationship with Zed.

Furthermore, Zed ran a big business. Thus, it was just normal for him to deal with a lot of people in social gatherings and business meetings.

Other people would most likely shoot her down if she would act too tight to Zed.

Jean stared at Zed affectionately and said, "Zed, you don't need to do that for me. I only wish that we could keep each other in our hearts. You can do whatever you want. I will always be right here to support you."

"Jean..." Zed had never expected Jean to be very considerate. He was so delighted that he tightly wrapped her in his arms and clung his lips to her soft lips.

The atmosphere inside the ward suddenly became strange. That time, Jean and Zed couldn't hear anything except each other's short breaths.
