Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 56

Although the hotel seemed to be old and shabby, the room was clean. It was not as bad as they were expecting.

The bed was not big, just enough for two people. If they could stay still in their sleep, they would not fall to the ground.

Having been put in such a situation, Zed was a little reluctant. But this was the only hotel around. If they chose not to stay, they would have to sleep in the car.

He was worried that Jean might not sleep well in the car.

"How do we... sleep?" Jean looked at him awkwardly and asked with hesitation.

"Just sleep as what we did before."

"..."

In the end, she slept against the wall and Zed on the side. The weather was not very cold so they could sleep in their clothes without covering themselves with the quilt.

Jean, who was very sleepy, couldn't fall asleep at all. She shared the bed many times with Zed. But she was extremely nervous this time, without knowing why.

But things did not go as Jean had imagined. Zed didn't do anything to her. He lay quietly beside her, motionless. Jean could even hear his rhythmic breathing. It was the first time that she had felt at ease.

Jean felt quite uncomfortable to sleep on such a small bed and in such a rigid posture. So she turned over. This action reduced the distance between her and Zed. She was now inches away from Zed's face. The bed was not wide enough, so even a turn-over made them much closer.

The tip of their noses touched gently. They could clearly feel each other's breathing. Jean's nervous heart was about to jump out. The dim light shone on his face and his fair skin, adding to his attractiveness. Jean could see Zed's face clearly. Undoubtedly, Zed was very handsome and charming with refined features. However, tiredness could also be found on his perfect face.

Perhaps he was hectic with work, not to mention the long drive probably made him even more tired. It was understandable. The longer she stared at him, the harder her heart beat for him.

Zed drove all the way here, just to see if she was with another man? The excuse sounded reasonable but both of them were soon-to-be-divorced. Zed had no obligation to keep her in check.

Regardless of his reason, Jean was still very grateful to him for coming to her rescue. She had never thought that in times of trouble, the person she missed most would be Zed. What's even more amazing was that he appeared in front of her when she wished for it.

It had never occurred to her that she would expect for Zed's help.

Could it be that she... Jean dropped her eyes, her concern grew gradually.

She was worried about her emotion toward him. Zed, who should have been sound asleep, suddenly stretched his arms to hold Jean tightly. Jean was startled by his sudden action and her body trembled slightly. His hug was warm enough to give Jean a sense of security. She did not want to escape this time. Just tonight, she wanted to indulge herself in the warmth of Zed's hug.

The night was quiet and long. And in such an unfamiliar environment, Jean had a good night's sleep.

Finally, morning dawned, bringing with it a chorus of birds. As the first hint of sun creased the horizon and shone on Jean, her long, dense and curled eyelashes fluttered gently and she opened her eyes. Zed's handsome and charming face happened to come to her sight. Moreover, Zed seemed to have been wide awaken.

He lay quietly on his side, looking at her with muse, as if he were admiring a work of art.

Jean jumped out of bed from the shock. It wasn't because she woke up to a handsome demon's face, it was due to the embarrassment she felt for herself being unkempt.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Zed asked with his hoarse yet attractive voice. His tone was rather ambiguous as if they had done something last night.

Jean immediately checked and tidied up her appearance. She gently coughed a few times to cover her embarrassment before saying, "Not too bad."

Zed was getting out of the bed to dress himself when the phone in his pocket rang.

"Yes?"

"Mr. Qi, since you didn't attend the dinner party last night, Mr. Li was dissatisfied with us. He said that he will never sign the contract with our company." Zed's secretary said in an anxious tone.

Zed was a little shocked and raised his brow slightly, "What was his reason?"

"The reason is that Mr. Li felt that you did not think highly about this cooperation, so..." The secretary hesitated, "Mr. Qi, when will you be coming back?"
