Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 101 Did You Miss Me

She was so shocked that she almost dropped the fork in her hand onto the ground.

"It seems that a business trip gives you an appetite."

A cold face appeared in front of them. The people standing around Jean were all surprised by his

appearance. None of them had thought that they would see him here.

Jean was so startled that her mouth opened wide enough to fill in a fist. Thinking that she had imagined

his appearance, Jean shook her head.

Perhaps she was just so tired that she was seeing things that weren't really there. And so Jean closed

her eyes and rubbed them. But when she opened her eyes again, he was still standing in front of her.

"What ... what are you doing here?" Jean's hands trembled as she put the fork back into the pasta

bowl. She still hadn't processed that he had come to the location.

Her heart was racing and an overwhelming sense of guilt flooded Jean. She didn't even dare to look

into his eyes.

"You don't want me here?" Instead of answering her, Zed asked a question. He raised his eyebrows as

he waited for her to reply. Although there wasn't much to be upset about, he didn't like Jean's reaction

when she saw him. She seemed unhappy. That had upset Zed.

"No, no..." Jean swallowed as she felt a shiver run down her spine. Zed was dangerous and hard to

deal with in situations that involved Ethan. She had been startled by Zed's appearance as she had

never imagined that he would come here. This was, after all, her work, a remote location, and the road

had been blocked because of a landslide. So how could he have turned up here?

Upon hearing their conversation, the onlookers quietened immediately. They had been standing around

in groups, chatting quite lively. But it had become exceptionally quiet. Only a few people who were

standing far were still unaware of what was happening, and so, they continued speaking with each

other.

Ethan had never thought that Zed would show up here. Seeing his rival, Ethan was surely displeased,

but there was little he could do.

He put on a dark expression and said in an extremely cold tone, "Does Mr. Qi come here just to keep

an eye on Jean?"

Once the director had realized who had come on set, he ran over to them. "Mr. Qi, " he gasped before

continuing, "How come you are here? I had asked the vice director to contact you earlier, but he only

could get in touch with your secretary. You should have told us that you were coming so that we could

have sent someone to pick you up in time." NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Selena who had been grumpy because of the pasta incident, perked up. Zed Qi, the CEO of Qi Group

and also the richest most eligible bachelor was on her set! Was it her imagination or had he grown

more handsome since she last saw him?

Selena remembered meeting him once during a party about a year ago. She also had a short

conversation with him at that party. He was cold and arrogant as well then. But he was so handsome

and charming that even a casual glance from him could steal women's hearts.

Now, she was nearly the most popular star in the world and many men fawned over her all the time.

However, she hadn't been able to forget about Zed. He was the man of her dreams!

"Director, Zed... Mr. Qi has invested in my movie as well?" Selena asked.

"Yes. You didn't know that? Mr. Qi is the primary investor in this movie, " the director explained.

Selena was delighted to hear that Zed was the primary investor for her movie. She thought he had

forgotten her after they met the last time. She had never expected that he would keep up with her

career and even invest in her movie.

'Did he come here to see me?' Thinking of that, Selena flashed her most charming smile. Then she

sauntered up to Zed and said, "Mr. Qi, do you remember me?"

"Yes." He replied curtly but his eyes were fixed on Jean all this while. He just couldn't take his eyes off

her.

Selena didn't notice that and the corners of her mouth lifted at his answer. The smile on her face was

so attractive. She coquettishly walked closer to Zed and asked seductively, "So, you are here to see

me on purpose?"

'He was here to see Selena?' Jean pouted. It turned out that Zed and Selena knew each other. Then

why had he never talked about Selena before?

Jean saw the satisfaction on Selena's face and couldn't help but feel upset. She didn't like it when Zed

was approached by other women, especially someone as gorgeous as Selena. Jean didn't notice that

she seemed to have gotten a little jealous.

"I was on a business trip and came here to see my wife." As soon as everyone heard the word, wife,

they began whispering. Jean was so embarrassed, that she felt as though the dim conversations were

loud enough to deafen her.

Selena froze in place with a shocked expression on her face. Although she was infatuated with Zed,

she seldom checked the news. So she didn't know that Zed was married.

Upon hearing that Selena pouted and asked, "Mr. Qi, who is your wife?" She could hear the sound of

her heart breaking, but she still didn't want to give up hope.

"She is." Zed said abruptly and pointed at Jean. A mischievous grin danced on his lips.

Jean didn't enjoy being in the limelight. In fact, she preferred to be left alone. And Zed seemed to enjoy

harassing her by constantly drawing attention to Jean. She felt so awkward when everyone turned to

stare at her that Jean felt a red tinge spread from her neck till her cheeks.

She smiled, "Um, what are you doing here?" Jean rushed to Zed's side and grabbed his arm as she

asked.

Selena's mood soured further after she heard that Jean was Zed's wife. She felt even more upset when

she saw that the man that she admired for such a long time was being pulled aside by another woman.

Selena's vanity made her think irrationally. She was beautiful and also the most popular actress. Men

usually fell in love with her at first sight.

This woman was not even half as accomplished or pretty as her. What was wrong with the world? Her

pride had been injured enough when she realized that Ethan loved Jean. But Zed too? Perhaps this

woman was an enchantress? It was hard for Selena to accept that an ordinary woman could so easily

possess the hearts of such fine men!

"Are you afraid that I will catch you being unfaithful?" He whispered.

Jean couldn't help but tremble. What happened in the last ten minutes? She even doubted whether she

had got him wrong. Why was Zed behaving so differently today? This wasn't his normal behavior.

"You should try your best to cooperate with me!" He whispered to Jean and then raised his head and

said loudly, "Excuse me for interrupting you."

"Not at all. It's our pleasure to have you here, " the director replied respectfully with a big smile on his

face.

Ethan couldn't stand that all his efforts had been in vain. He stepped forward and spoke to Jean and

Zed, "Mr. Qi, this is a film set. You cannot just walk in here and do as you please."

"If you can, then why can't I?" Zed replied sardonically. Displeased to see the extent to which Ethan

had gone, Zed raised an eyebrow as if challenging his rival. "Mr. Lei, it seems that you are interested in

my wife."

'Gosh!' Jean held her breath. He said those words in front of so many people. What would they think of

her? To them, it looked as if he was here because he couldn't trust her.

Jean knew that if Ethan and Zed got into a real fight, she would not be able to stop them for her

physical strength would not be a match to theirs.

She turned to John for help, but he seemed disinterested. He just ignored her.

The situation turned extremely serious since Ethan and Zed seemed to be fighting verbally. Selena was

also angry but she couldn't show it. She knew that she needed to stay calm and act like nothing had

happened.

However, the more she thought about how these two outstanding men were willing to fight against each

other for someone like Jean ...

"Um ... heh, heh, heh, I didn't expect you to come here. I'm so glad you are here. I really am. Honey,

you've become more humorous recently!"

Since John chose not to help, it was up to Jean to break the embarrassing fight.

By using endearing words like honey, it sounded like Jean was showing off her love for Zed.

The director smiled at once, "Mr. Qi, I didn't imagine that you would be so concerned about your wife.

And I didn't realize that Sonny's apprentice is your wife. All these are very good reasons to celebrate!"

Zed nodded calmly but didn't change his expression nor tone, "I'll invest more in this movie after

returning to the city." It seemed as though the director's words had pleased him.

Upon hearing that he would invest more, the director's eyes shone with greed.

Zed turned to face Jean again. His expression was calm but those deep, dark eyes held a warning.

Somehow Jean had this unshakable feeling that something bad was going to happen.

"Did you miss me?"
