Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 30

"Wait!"

She panicked. Her heart was racing. However, it's proven that men do like this kind of things, just like how it is in TV shows.

With just a little romantic atmosphere, the plan was already half succeeded.

He ignored what Jean said and lifted her up, all the way from the living room to the bedroom. He placed her down gently on the big soft bed.

"Wait for what?"

His breathing was heavy and his gaze at her was full of burning passion.

"When...When are you going to divorce me?"

She was only trying to mimic the TV shows to see if Zed would have any respond. Much to her surprise, he reacted so intensely with such haste.

It worked on Zed, but it should have been Eva, not her!

The burning flames in Zed's eyes were put out almost instantly by her words. His face gloomed. He looked at her coldly," Do you think this is a good time to talk about it? Are you that desperate to leave me?"

Jean nodded rapidly," It's already been decided long ago. We'll divorce once the time is right but you've confiscated my residence booklet and denied the divorce. Further more, the Wen Group is in a total mess, I have no further use for you anymore. Why don't you just keep your promise and divorce me, go back to your life as an eligible bachelor?"

Their marriage was only for business benefits. Since the deal has come to an end, it only makes sense that the marriage should as well. Even more so now that everyone has already gotten their profits respectively. Most importantly, she was afraid that she would become obsessed with him if they stayed together any longer.

It is Zed she is talking about. He's rich and handsome. He was being gentle and considerate too recently, which has made her heart skipped.

"An eligible bachelor? Heh, I believe it's you who is eager to become single again."

He got up suddenly and left the bedroom in rage. The sound of a departed car was heard not long after the door slammed. Zed had left the villa.

Jean was left alone in this huge house. She dazed for a while because she didn't understand why Zed got angry. She felt lost.

"Never mind. At least I found out he likes those kind of romantic ambiance. I have to tell Eva later!"

Comforting herself, Jean walked to the dining room and finished up the steak that she had cooked painstakingly.

...

Zed drank up three shots the moment he arrived at the club. He showed no signs of intoxication. Having to accompany his father to entertain their clients since a very young age, his body was already used to the huge intake of alcohol. He was already numb at this point, this amount was nothing to him.

"Mr. Qi, bad night?" Zack Xing, the CEO of this club came over and inquired. He proceeded to call the bartender to open his reserved wine.

Zed gave a faint smile when he caught a whiff of the fragrance from the wine. "Zack, you're finally willing to open it?"

"I only opened it because I saw you in such a bad mood. I will take it away if you don't want it."

"Hey, it's already opened. Wouldn't it be such a waste if we don't drink it?"

"I think you're just pretending to be moody so you'll make me serve you the wine."

They were drinking, talking and laughing. They used to be classmates when they studied abroad. After they came back, they each took over their family business. They remained good friends.

"Let me ask you a lame question. Don't laugh at me, alright." Zed hesitated a little but still ended up asking Zack anyway. He wanted to see if Zack could help him with his uncertainty.

After Zack nodded, he continued," Is it possible for you to fall in love with a woman in a short time?"
