Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 46

Dejected, Zed turned and walked toward the bar counter.

"Whisky."

Zed sat down at the counter and requested Zack for a drink. He chose the strongest whisky available.

After twisting off the cap, he immediately gulped down several large mouthfuls.

This surprised Zack. He tilted his head and looked at Zed. His lip corners turned upward, then he said in a concerned yet sarcastic tone, "Zed, I didn't expect that you would be so invested in this relationship. You are so serious this time that you even came here to confront her. Zed, you really surprise me..."

"Shut up!" Zed glared mercilessly at Zack before throwing back another shot of whisky.

The party was livelier than usual. The hall was a cacophony of sounds. With all the people talking and laughing and the loud music being played by the DJ, Zed's head started aching.

While looking at the liquor in the glass, the scene he had seen earlier of Jean and Ethan laughing and talking flashed through Zed's mind.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt in his heart.

Zed finally couldn't bare it anymore. He fiercely slammed the glass in his hand onto the counter, then turned and left the bar.

Zack shook his head and sighed, "Even an extraordinary business talent can be trapped by love."

As Zed walked across the dance floor, his handsome appearance attracted the attention of many women.

However, Zed pushed his way past them and headed straight for the toilet.

Jean hadn't had supper yet. When her stomach rumbled, she decided to go looking for food. As she stepped out of the private room to find something to eat, she saw Zed.

Jean didn't expect that she would meet Zed at the party. Zed's appearance surprised her so much that her heart began pounding. She looked at him with widened eyes.

Zed's gaze had been on the floor. When he smelt Jean's familiar scent, he looked up. Zed's eyes roamed over Jean as he studied her appearance. From her styled hair to the tight dress, and the light makeup, she looked so attractive. A feeling of possessiveness overwhelmed Zed.

As his eyes searched her face for an explanation, Jean shifted her gaze away. Her heart pounded even more strongly and rapidly.

Before she could think of something to say, Jean felt Zed's hands cupping her face.

In the next instant, Zed's warm lips pressed against hers. Before she could fathom what he was doing, Zed's lips forced open Jean's. His kiss was so passionate that it seemed as though he was releasing all his pent up emotions.

This scene, however, was spotted by Eva, who had come to the party after learning that Zed would also attend. She had planned to use this opportunity to charm Zed, but to Eva's surprise, she was shocked by what she had seen.

The scene was so disturbing that she felt tears stinging her eyes.

She glared at them sharply as her fingertips dug into the palm of her hands so tightly that they nearly started to bleed.

"Jean Wen, you said you would help me. You are a liar! You are using me to forward your relationship with Zed! ! You are a shameless woman! I will make you suffer. Do you really think you could compete with me? Take a careful look at yourself. You are nowhere near as pretty as I am! How dare you challenge me?" Eva glared at Zed and Jean. She was so annoyed that her body trembled. When she got no response, she stomped her foot before turning and leaving.

Jean was overwhelmed by this unexpected kiss. Her brain went completely blank.

"Woo…" She didn't expect that Zed would be so passionate in public. As Jean came to her senses, she realized that almost all the party guests were staring at them.

She tried to push Zed away, however, he wouldn't budge no matter how hard she tried. Panicked, Jean bit Zed's lips. Perhaps she bit too hard, for in the next instance, she could smell and taste blood. Surprised, Zed moved away from Jean.

Jean's shoulders sagged when she realized how hard she had bit Zed.

She frowned and tried touching Zed's lips as she felt an inexplicable heartache. However, Zed pushed her hand away fiercely before walking away.

"Zed!" Jean shouted, but Zed didn't react. He held his head high as he marched straight into the crowd.

When Jean lost sight of Zed, she felt a strange sentiment in her heart.

A heavy feeling settled as Jean tried rationalizing, 'I was just protecting myself, why do I feel so bad?

Is this what guilt feels like? Yes, it must be!

Our match is doomed. Moreover, Zed is going to be with Eva. There is no reason for me to take unnecessary challenges. Yes, this is it!'

Jean felt a little better after she convinced herself that she and Zed did not have a future. However, she was still absent-minded.
