Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman
Chapter 151 An Restless man

Jean bent and leaned on Zed's chest. She could clearly feel his chest rise and fall to his uneven breaths. Her face became more reddish as she rose and fell along with Zed's chest. 'Zed is still a restless man even if he is drunk.' Jean pondered to herself.

She tried to get up from Zed's chest. But Zed pitifully groaned when she had just made a small movement.

She couldn't do anything but sigh deeply because she was afraid to make any more movement. Having no idea what to do, she just lay on Zed's chest quietly.

'Do I need to be in this position for the whole night?

No way! I must get up and make a glass of honey water for Zed. It will surely help him sober up when he drinks it.

Or else, he will have an extreme headache when he gets up tomorrow.' Jean thought to herself.

Jean raised her head slowly. After she saw that Zed became calmer, she silently got up. Because of the difficulty, she could only break free from Zed's hand that held her tightly bit by bit. Jean was very happy when their hands separated from each other. After a while, she cautiously jumped out of bed.

"Jean..."

Just when Jean tried to carefully walk out the room, she heard Zed calling her from her back.

"Are you awake, Zed?" Jean abruptly stopped when she heard Zed's calling her. She thought that Zed was already awake, so she turned around and delightfully walked towards him.

But she found out that Zed was still closing his eyes tightly and he was just calling her name unconsciously. "Jean... Don't be angry... Don't be angry at me."

At that moment, Jean's smiling face seemed to shrink. She was touched by what Zed unconsciously said and affectionately stared at his handsome face. The love she had for Zed could be clearly seen in her eyes. "Please don't be angry. I did not mean to do it. I love you so much..."

'How could you hurt me, and then say that you deeply love me to excuse yourself?' Feeling sorrowful, Jean thought to herself.

After she heard what Zed said, Jean could not keep her tears from falling down from her eyes.

'You wrongly accused me. Zed, how could you argue with me just because you felt angry?' Don't you know that what you did hurt me a lot? More than that, what you did could cut our relationship just like a knife.

Then, you just left me alone here while you drank somewhere?' Jean kept thinking.

Before she walked towards the bedside, Jean took a deep breath.

"Jean... I love you."

When she approached Zed, Jean could only hear Zed repeatedly say that he loved her.

"You are really a fool!" Although Jean had a lot of resentments and anger in her heart, all those bad emotions vanished away after she heard Zed's affectionate words. Although Zed was totally drunk, Jean could feel his deep love from the eagerness of his voice. Jean sat beside Zed and stared at him with gentle and tender love in her eyes. She said deep in her heart, 'I love you too.'

"Jean..." Zed suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Jean bluntly for a long time. His love for Jean was clearly showed on his attractive and bright eyes.

Jean was a bit flustered when she saw that Zed suddenly woke up. She quickly stood up and asked him in a nervous tone. "What's wrong with you?"

Zed did not answer her question. Instead, he frowned and stared at Jean for a long while. Finally, he fuzzily said, "I don't like... I don't like to see you... Smile... Smile at other men..."

After he finished saying what he wanted to say, Zed closed his eyes again and made a slightly snored.

He had babbled out of being so drunk!

Jean couldn't help herself at that moment. She laughed out loud and shook her head thoughtlessly.

Jean was sure that Zed was deeply asleep that time. So she turned around and assuredly walked downstairs.

She took a glass of warm water, added some honey, and mixed them up.

Suddenly, something seemed to linger in her mind. She abruptly stopped stirring the water.

'Though Zed said it out of being drunk, it also signified his true feelings. He truly loves me!' thought Jean.

What Zed had said a while ago kept playing on her mind, "I don't like... I don't like to see you... Smile... Smile at other men..."

'Did he get angry and unhappy just because I smiled at John?'

When she thought about that aspect, Jean felt dumbfounded. She shook her head and went upstairs with the glass of honey water she had just made.

When Jean entered the living room, she heard Zed groan again. He kept saying, "Water... Water..."

Jean found that it was very funny to see Zed act like that. She strode towards Zed, assisted him to sit up, and carefully put the warm honey water into his mouth.

She spent the whole night looking after Zed. It was already dawn when she took a nap.

When the morning arrived, the rustle of changing clothes woke her up.

When she opened her eyes mistily, she found Zed nowhere in the room.

Jean was about to get up when she saw that Zed just walked out from the bathroom.

Zed had just taken a shower. Drops of water were still dripping on his hair, face and body while he walked out with such a rugged look.

Compared to his terrible look the other night, Zed looked very charming under the morning light. Jean was trying hard not to laugh when she thought about how he looked and what he had said last night.

He did not expect that Jean was already awake. He was a bit embarrassed when he saw that she stood there with her eyes fixed on him.

When he woke up this morning, Zed saw Jean lying on the bedside. She looked very tired and pale. Zed knew clearly that she must have looked after him for the whole night.

He felt quiet sorry for being drunk and for making Jean care for him.

Zed walked slowly and moved carefully. However, his slight movements had awoken her.

"Sorry. I don't mean to wake you up." Zed sincerely apologized and broke the silence first.

"It's alright. It's almost time to go to work anyway." Jean shook her head and smiled.

"You did not sleep well last night. I think it's better for you not to go to work today." Zed advised her in a gentle tone. He was afraid that he would make Jean angry.

"I asked for leave the other day. So, I don't have any day off for this month left. Don't worry. I'll be fine. I will just buy a cup of coffee on my way to the company. It will surely help me keep awake for the whole day." Jean jokingly said, hoping to keep Zed's worries away. Zed was relieved when he saw that Jean seemed to be fine. "Yesterday... Last night... I am sorry," Zed apologized.

At first, Jean was surprised to hear that. She looked at him in amusement. Seconds later, she realized Zed really meant it and replied, "I am also so sorry. I knew that you were in a bad mood but I did not understand your feelings. I still got angry and even argued with you." To his surprise, Zed's turned his eyes at Jean. He could not believe what he just heard.

It was he who did wrong and who behaved unreasonably.

But why did she apologize to him?

Zed looked a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat and pretended to look more natural. He walked towards Jean and stared at her. "Jean, I will not stop you if you want to go to work. And I promise, I will control my temper next time. But can you promise me one thing, too?"

"What?" Jean was startled to see Zed changed his tone. He suddenly sounded so serious.

"Could you stop smiling at those people who seem to love you?" Zed flushed a little and asked Jean in a hesitant tone.

"What are you talking about? What do you mean? Who do you mean when you mentioned those people who seem to love me?" Jean, who was totally confused that time, dazzlingly looked at Zed.

"I am talking about Ethan Lei and... John." After he directly mentioned those two names, he was immediately relieved.

"I can understand if you mean Ethan Lei. But, I can't seem to understand why you said that John loves me?" Jean smiled and rolled her eyes before she said, "You misunderstood him. John loves someone and I am sure that it's not me."

The expression showed on Zed's face changed. He asked nervously, "Did he admit that to you?"

"Yes! There is a girl who likes John very much in our company. She confessed her feeling to him yesterday. However, he refused her. Then John told me that he already loved someone, and he could not fall in love with anyone else. So, Zed, don't worry. If you think that there's something special about me, you are wrong. In fact, I am just an ordinary woman in other people's eyes." Jean thoroughly explained while she thought that Zed was acting so funny.

Zed stared at her with his deep eyes. He knew that Jean was really careless, but he didn't expect that she could be so naive when it came to love.

When he found out that Jean didn't know that John had feelings for her, Zed decided that he would not tell her the truth. He decided to let Jean replace it for herself.
