Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman
Chapter 108 Are You Jealous

She stood still there, stared far away and contemplated. Her slim body perfectly blended the beautiful night landscape outside the windows. Zed was a bit shocked. He had rarely seen Jean being deeply puzzled like that. He frowned and asked her, "What are you thinking about?" Jean was puzzled for quite a long time before she heard Zed's voice. She wondered when Zed come in.

She didn't turn her face to him. Instead, she just simply replied, "Nothing."

She spoke apathetically in a tone without any emotion at all.

Zed walked near her, slightly raised his cold eyes, and asked her, "Are you angry at me?"

"Angry?" Jean confusingly looked at him and replied, "Why should I get angry at you? We are just acting as a couple, right? Whatever you do during our play won't affect me at all. Why should I get angry?"

Though she said that she wasn't angry, her expression and voice had taken her away.

Zed slightly raised his eyebrows. With a gleam in his eyes, Zed asked her, "Are you jealous?"

His voice was so absurd as if he was taunting her. After Jean heard him, she pressed her lips and took a deep breath. She looked at Zed and chuckled, "I guess you've misunderstood me. I am neither angry nor jealous. I am just a bit sad. Can you keep our fake marriage as a secret even in the future? You better tell your girlfriend not to spread rumors everywhere. Don't you know? I am so much bothered by the rumors she had made even if I am just acting as your wife."

Zed felt a bit sad when he heard what she said. She initally thought that Jean was jealous; he was wrong.

Jean's reply immediately cast him into a deep abyss. It made him look very cold.

Zed slightly clenched her lips, coldly looked at her and said, "Don't worry about it. I will replace a way for it in the future."

Zed's words hurt Jean. It was like a thousand needles had been pinned into her heart ruthlessly.

Jean looked at the ground. She nodded and murmured to herself, "That's good."

She turned around to take a bath. She got herself ready to sleep.

Zed was very dissatisfied with her apathy. He lifted her up and threw her onto the bed. Then, he swiftly pressed his body against her.

"Don't touch me!" She gritted her teeth. Suddenly, she recalled that Zed stayed with Eva last night. That thought quickly made her furious.

Zed was a bit surprised by Jean's relentless attitude. Soon, he stretched his hands out and attempted to take off her clothes.

He clasped her hands, clung to Jean and eagerly pressed his body against her. Jean wasn't able to move at all.

She could barely move her legs. Zed took her clothes off skillfully, touching Jean's skin from top to bottom as he wanted.

Suddenly, Jean felt her stomach ached. She frowned and screamed because of the pain. She remembered that her menstruation would fall that day.

She felt glad after she thought about it. She stopped resisting and said, "Stop! Today is not the right day to do that."

"What do you mean?" Zed slowly stopped her foolish acts and kept silent for a while. Then, he finally realized that she would have her menstrual period around those days each month.

The flare in his eyes gradually disappeared. His burning body slowly cooled down. Zed stood up and gave her a glimpse. Then he quickly went into the bathroom with his pajamas.

Jean finally felt relieved that time. She didn't expect that her menstruation would save her from Zed's forceful deed.

After Zed came out of the bathroom, Jean got ready to get in and take a bath.

She wore a grumpy face immediately after she suddenly thought of something.

When she came to the Qi Family's house, she had only brought clothes to change. She forgot to prepare the things necessary for her menstruation. It was already late. Nothing was available for her period inside their house. How could she get through tonight? Would she go out to buy those necessary things? It would be a huge hassle for her to go outside.

However, she had no choice but to...... ask Zed for favor!

Jean cleared her throat and smiled at Zed, "Uhm, Zed... Can you do me a favor?"

Zed was wrapped in a bathroom towel and dried his hair with a piece of towel. He looked displeased. He was psychologically and physiologically uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because he failed in his attempt to have sex with her. "What is it?"

"I......" Only a single word came out of her mouth within a long while. Jean's face flushed when she tried to ask Zed to buy sanitary napkins for her.

Zed was shocked. He noticed that she could barely speak it out. After a while, he seemed to understand what she was trying to say.

He slightly twitched his mouth and stood still in silence. At last, he put on his clothes and went out.

Jean heaved a sigh of relief. She guessed that Zed had already known what she tried to say. Though it was odd for men to buy such stuffs, she didn't have any choice but to ask him to buy it for her.

Even though he looked cold and apathetic, Zed expressed his warm heart and sympathy to her.

Zed came back 20 minutes later with a large bag of stuffs in his hand. He put the stuffs on the table with an long face.

Jean walked towards him and opened the bag. She found that there were various brands inside the bag.

Before she could express her gratitude to him, Zed impatiently said, "Never let me buy such stuffs again. Remember that!"

"Alright." She randomly took a pack and glanced at Zed from time to time. She found that Zed was embarrassingly sitting there in silence. He looked very funny.

She imagined how Zed had behaved in the supermarket. He must have been confused which brand he should buy for her. So, he took a pack for each brand. The cashier must have been so shocked when he went to pay for all of the stuffs.

She could imagine how the cashier looked at him. He would have looked like a maniac. It was strange seeing him confusingly filled the bag with those stuffs. It was odd to see man buy such stuffs of different brands. Zed must have stood there shamefully while other people looked at him peculiarly that time. Jean thought that his embarrassed look must be very funny, even if she hadn't seen it personally.

Jean couldn't help but burst into laughter after she thought about what had possibly happened to Zed in the supermarket.

After he heard her laughing, Zed seemed to realize what Jean was thinking. He stared at her coldly as if he would stab her with a sharp knife. Jean stopped laughing and walked into the bathroom while carrying the sanitary napkins.

After taking a bath, she took the bed sheet out of the cabinet and walked towards the sofa. Zed sat on the bedside and lit a cigarette. Jean didn't know where he got that cigarette.

It was her first time to see Zed smoking. Jean frowned and felt displeased. 'When did Zed learn to smoke?' Jean muttered to herself.

She hated men who smoked. She could hardly tolerate the smell of cigarettes.

He raised his hands and blew his cigarette's smoke out. The cigarette ashes flew away between his fingertips, and immediately dispersed in air. Jean already wanted to lie down. So, she put the bed sheet on the sofa. "Who allows you to sleep on the sofa?" Jean heard a blunt voice. She then turned to him and said, "I am not feeling well today. I replace it hard to sleep on the bed." Afterwards, she didn't say anything more.

She fell asleep very soon. Maybe it was because she had been too tired shopping that day. She was so drowsy. After a while, she had a vague memory. She felt like she was lifted from the sofa and transferred to the bed. Jean felt really uncomfortable because of her menstruation. She happened to wake up in the midnight.

After she had awaken, she found that she was already lying on the bed. Moreover, a hand was tightly holding her body.

Jean was lying still. She had been absent-minded for a long time.

Then, she heard a sound of peaceful noise of a man sleeping beside her. She enjoyed this wonderful night listening to Zed's steady breath and felt his warmth in that tranquil night.

In spite of her high expectations and hopes about her future life with Zed, Jean still felt upset when she thought about Zed and Eva spending a night together. She felt like she was pinned by a lot of needles.

She immediately wanted to turn around and loosen his embrace from her body. Unexpectedly, Zed tightly clasped her body by both of his arms. She wasn't able to move at all.

She failed in her attempts to break loose from his embrace again and again. She had no choice but to close her eyes and continue sleeping. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
