Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 104

Soon, the atmosphere became tense. Zed sat beside them. They didn't think that Zed would be able to answer that question in a short while. He only hesitated for a few seconds and then said: "I fell in love with her at the first sight!"

Hearing that he had fallen in love with Jean at the first sight, everyone present there beside Zed seemed a little shocked. Jean didn't pay much attention to dressing up. She was not as beautiful and outstanding as Selena but she was indeed decently pretty.

The CEO of the Qi Group had pretty unique taste in women.

For rich men, falling in love at the first sight with a woman who was not very pretty was perhaps unusual.

Ethan Lei took a sip of wine and got mad at Zed's reply. He dared not reveal the truth about Zed's marriage with Jean in public even when he knew that their marriage was nothing but a mere commercial transaction.

He pursed his lips and then gulped down a big sip of wine.

During this feast, it looked like Ethan was the only one drinking so much. It looked like he was here to get drunk only.

Jean was half full. When she looked around, she realized that Zed didn't eat too much despite him having a good appetite. The atmosphere around the dining table looked very lively. The director and Essen took turns proposing a toast to Ethan and Zed.

Jean got a little anxious when she realized that Ethan had already consumed over half a glass of spirit. 'Ethan couldn't hold his liquor. Would he get drunk later? He has already consumed a lot of liquor in such a short while.'

Zed who sat beside Jean, could see through her worried look. He then cast a quick glance at Jean without showing any jealousy. After lifting his tea cup, he took a gentle sip from it and then asked Jean in a bland voice, "Are you full?"

"What?" Jean looked up and stared at him in confusion.

"I want to know if you are full or not?" Jean knew that something big was about to happen, although Zed's tone of voice was totally calm and composed.

She nodded and responded: "Yea, I'm full."

Before they left, Zed said, "Enjoy your meal. Me and my wife are going back to the hotel." Zed said with a straight face after putting his tea cup down on the table.

"Mr. Qi, are you leaving?" It seemed that the director didn't expect Zed to leave in such a hurry. Thus, he rose immediately from his chair and ran over to persuade him to stay further.

"Mr. Qi. It is so hard for us to get together. Why are you leaving so early?

"My wife is sleepy." He replied with an excuse in a very neutral tone. However, his reply still sounded like an order that shouldn't be defied.

Jean shivered a little. She couldn't help but admire Zed for his distinguished performance in front of people. He gave an excuse to leave while showing his consideration for her. Jean even couldn't remember Zed had treated her so well before.

"I won't persuade you to stay since Mrs. Qi is tired. Mr. Qi, please take care!"

As they arrived at the hotel room, Jean felt a little sleepy.

Since Zed was a little obsessed with cleanliness, he went straight to the bathroom after opening the door of their hotel room. Perhaps, he was going to take a shower.

Jean couched on a sofa. She was thinking if they would sleep together on the same bed after he came back from a shower. Of course, while they were home, they used to sleep together on the bed. However, Jean believed that while they were away from home, they should now sleep alone.

In addition to that, Jean was also hesitant whether she should take a shower or not. Her clean clothes weren't back from the laundry yet. And if she showered and didn't change into clean clothes, she would feel very uncomfortable.

All these things didn't really matter that much. What's important was if she didn't take a shower, Zed would be able to distinguish the smell coming from her body if they slept on the same bed.

After reckless indulging in her wild flights of fancy, Jean finally fell asleep on the sofa. Things didn't happen as Jean thought they would. Zed didn't wake her up after his bath and let her sleep on the couch.

Thus, Jean slept through the night without waking up.

Jean found Zed wasn't around when she woke up. When she looked at her watch, she realized it was already time for lunch.

Thus, she hurriedly put away her luggage for checking out. Coincidentally, she met John when she walked out of the hotel room. He was staying in the same hotel as them. As he saw Jean, he greeted, "Did you sleep well last night?" He pursed his lips with an obscure smile. His tone apparently implied something.

Flushed, Jean gave him an angry stare and changed the topic. "Where are boss and the others?" asked Jean.

"They are resting in their hotel rooms. We had lunch together and even called you, but you didn't answer it. Probably, you were so tired that you fell into deep sleep last night." He jeered.
