Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 31

"You!"

Jean's cheek turned red from Zed's prank.

"Get change and follow me."

His playful demeanor turned serious.

With all her might, Jean pulled her hand out of Zed's grip. She then turned to him with a cold refusal, "No!"

"You don't get to choose, unless you rather lose your residence booklet?" Zed said nothing more and went straight toward the bathroom.

Jean rushed to the front of the bathroom door and blocked Zed's way. She scowled at him wide eyed, "Why? You didn't even returned my booklet even though I accompanied you to your ex's birthday party last time. If you want me to participate this time, you'll have to give it back to me first!"

Zed frowned slightly with his eyes squinting at Jean, "What made you think you have the qualification to negotiate with me? It's your call, to go or not."

With that, Zed attempted to proceed forward but Jean refused to budge. She was determined to not let him through and thus their stubbornness came to a draw. Their bodies were leaning against each other now.

Zed lowered his head and stared into her eyes with his deep colored pupil. His long slender fingers held her chin up. "Are you going to move away? Or... you want to take a bath with me?"

"You!" Jean felt embarrassed and angered at the same time, she had no choice but to turn aside and let him go.

When the bathroom door closed, she waved her fist against the air and vented her anger at the bathroom direction.

"I am not going! I don't see how you would benefit from keeping my booklet. I'll have you know the game is on! You're a billionaire tycoon and I'm just an exiled second generation of a pseudo rich family. I'm clearly not on the losing end in this marriage so let's see who will be the last one standing! Hmph!"

She felt better after all the yelling. She changed her clothes and went out after taking Zed's gold credit card from his wallet.

Since Zed refused to divorce her, Jean remained as his legal wife. There was nothing wrong for a wife to spend her husband's money, right?

Jean went to the high-end health care club under the Qi Group. She walked to the reception desk and gave them Zed's credit card.

"Ahem, can you verify for me if this card requires password for payment?" She might be lacking in confidence but she managed to make the inquiry by being thick-skinned.

The receptionist couldn't quite put a finger on the familiar face when they saw Jean. Though everything clicked when they checked the card. Their boss's name was on it and the lady before them was his newlywed wife. They immediately bowed and greeted to her.

"Mrs. Qi, I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you. I don't think you're required to make any payment here..."

"I don't need to pay? So which program am I eligible for?"

"All of them of course, which service would you like to experience? I can arrange them for you right away."

Jean rejoiced in secret. She picked up the pamphlet to study the packages and selected the most expensive one.

"First a royal spa treatment, please add this nano hyaluronic acid mask for me as well, also the golden hand mask too..."

"Okay, no problem. Everything is ready, this way please..."

...

Zed got out of the bathroom to find Jean was already gone. He ate breakfast nonchalantly, thinking that since Jean had no money to spend, she probably won't be out for long.

It was already noon and yet Jean was no where to be found. There was a banquet to attend later today. It was about time he brought her back. He picked up his phone and opened the location app. She was in the health care club managed by their corporation. Without any delay, Zed called up the person in charge there.

"Mr. Xia, erm... Is my wife in your club?"

"Yes, Mr. Qi."

"What is she doing there?"

"Mrs. Qi is having a royal SPA service."
