Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 32

The banquet was held in a villa, which was pretty lively. As soon as they walked in, all kinds of people greeted Zed. Jean was wearing a smile on her face all the time but she did not know anyone here. It was embarrassing and boring.

Wearing a dress which was one size smaller and a pair of 12 centimeters high heels, Jean felt like she was propped up. Her waist was strangled and her feet were very uncomfortable. Words could not describe her suffering.

"Zed Qi, can I go outside to have a rest?"

Jean whispered to Zed when he was finally available.

"What--did you call me?"

Zed swirled the wine glass in his hand and seemed displeased with how she just called him just now.

"Honey, my feet hurt so much..."

Her fists were clenched but her face remained smiling when she looked at him.

"Okay." Zed nodded with satisfaction and leaned over to stroke her hair with his broad hand repeatedly, as if he was patting a pet. "Go ahead. Don't linger too long, or my efforts spent on choosing your dress and shoes will go in vain."

What?

He was the one who picked the one size smaller dress and the shoes!

No wonder they were so uncomfortable. He did it on purpose.

Her face turned red from holding back her anger. It was an amusing sight.

"Mr. Qi, it's been a long time!"

"Mr. Wen, how have you been?"

When Jean was about to go mad, someone came over to chat with Zed. She held back her rage and turned around to walk out of the hall with her teeth clenched.

The garden in the backyard of the villa was a lot quieter. Looking around, Jean did not see anyone so she sat down on the stone bench and took off her high heels. Her insteps and heels were already bruised.

"Ow..." She could not help but cry out when she touched the wounds.

When she heard voices closing in, she took her shoes and hid into the garden in fear of damaging Zed's pride if people were to spot her being barefooted. She squatted behind a neatly trimmed evergreen tree and waited.

"When Ethan Lei arrives, have him drink this and follow the plan after that."

Ethan Lei...

The name was familiar to her. Her chest tightened as memories flashed in her head. A burning sensation courses within her, she could feel the violent pain clinging to her heart.

She peeked out and saw a man and a woman standing on the stairs. The woman was holding two glasses of drink while the man dropped a pill into one of them after making sure the coast was clear.

The man left, leaving the woman on the stairs by herself. She seemed to be waiting for someone.

'What on earth did that man put into the drink, rohypnol?

What are they planning to do to Ethan?'

"Whatever. I am not here to meddle..." She reminded herself the reason she was here as she prepared to leave.

"Mr. Lei, there you are."

"Mandy, I heard you were looking for me."

Upon hearing Ethan's voice again after two years, Jean stopped dead in her tracks. Biting her lips slightly, she could not help but sneak a peek.

No matter how much time had passed, Jean would not forget what happened between them. The man in her sight was as handsome and elegant as she remembered though he seemed more matured at this moment.
