Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 131 I’m Sorry. I Still Care About You

Jean saw how apprehensive they looked that time. She even felt extremely happy when she saw their

anxious faces.

Zed surely had recognized what Jean implied in her words. He raised his head and took a cold glance

at them. "If you don't want any trouble, leave now. Don't you ever come back and bother her again."

They quickly felt relieved and joyful after they heard what Zed said. Madeline nodded her head and

smiled, "Mr. Qi, we just stopped by to visit Jean. Since you already know the truth, we won't bother you

any more. We are leaving now. Goodbye!"

Madeline exclaimed. Then, she quickly left with the other women.

The ward became quiet again. It was noisy inside a while ago. But that time, the air seemed to have

stopped in just a few seconds. The nurse stood by the door. She wanted to go in and explain what

happened to Zed after she saw that those women were leaving. However, Zed abruptly turned her

down.

He walked in with a grumpy face. Then, he stared at Jean with his cold look and said, "How many

times have I told you to have a quiet rest?"

Jean lay back on the bed, tucked herself in and pouted. Then she said as if she suffered injustice, "It

has nothing to do with me. I was just sleeping until a noise outside woke me up. I found out that they

were loudly arguing with the nurse. I would not get decent rest if I didn't let them in. And if they had

attracted people's attention, it would have been a big mess, right?"

She thought for a while and continued to explain, "You told me to have a quiet rest. Since I need to

have a quiet rest, I need to solve the problem that caused the noise first. Am I right?"

"That's a lie!" He took a cold glance at her and turned around. He took the sweet soup that he had just

bought and gave it to her. "Have some sweet soup. It will lighten up your mood."

He saw that Jean was gloomy recently, but he couldn't think of any healthy ways to cheer her up. So he

consulted the doctor and asked if she could have sweet food. After gaining the doctor's approval, he

bought her the sweet soup from afar.

"Is this for me?" Jean was shocked. Since when did Zed become so considerate? Though he seemed

to be cold outside, he sometimes treated her extremely nice and tender.

"Yes."

Jean took the sweet soup from him. Then she slightly pressed her lips together and smiled.

If he would take care of her like that forever, then she would choose to be always sick.

She stayed in the hospital for about a week. She thought she would delay the shooting schedule of the

whole crew of the program. But she didn't know that they had shot for the program even without Zed

and her.

The program had to shoot for at least a month. Since they were special guests, Jean and Zed only

needed to shoot for a week.

Besides, Zed had discussed about their shooting schedule with the crew of the program earlier.

The Fashion Weekly planned to take Zed and Jean as the key guests of the program. But since Zed

could only be available for one week, they changed the program structure. Even so, Zed and Jean

were still the focus.

After leaving the hospital, Jean went directly to the studio to shoot for the program. She wanted to go

back to her work as soon as possible. Their shooting was efficiently done in two days.

They booked two air tickets going home and planned to leave the next day. Jean felt a bit sad because

she didn't have a nice tour around since they had arrived there.

She had rested for such a long time that she almost forgot that she had a job. She wasn't even sure if

she still had her job or she was already fired.

The evening arrived. She went to the beach with Zed after they had their dinner.

Jean bowed her head down and stamped her footprints on the sand step by step. After Zed noticed

that Jean was preoccupied, he asked her, "What's wrong? Are you not happy that we are leaving?"

"No." Jean pressed her lips together and denied, though she was really not happy about leaving there

soon. But what she was truly worried about at the time was the thing that she had been thinking the

whole day.

After they would get back home, they would also be back to their act and pretend to be in a real

relationship. It was their last day there. If she wouldn't speak out the words she was dying to say, she

would definitely regret it.

But she didn't know how to start it. Nevertheless, she was a woman...

She looked up at the bright moon that night. It was hanging in the sky with its light brightly dancing on

the beach. That evening, the beach was truly majestic.

The waves hit the shore. The sound of the waves along with the moonlight made the atmosphere so NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

romantic.

It was crowded on the beach that time, but it was also quiet. Only a slight noise and the sound of

crushing waves that could calm one's mind could be heard there.

Jean took a deep breath. Then, she suddenly stopped and stood in front of him.

She raised her head and firmly looked at Zed. Her crystal eyes seemed to read Zed's mind. It made

Zed freeze in his place.

"Ahem! She cleared her throat, took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, I have been thinking about

explaining an issue to you."

"What issue?" He firmly looked at her. He looked like his usual cold face.

"I know you think that I still can't get over Ethan Lei. You think that I want to be with him again. But that

is not the truth. What happened between the two of us stays in the past. I admit that I had some

feelings for him when I saw him again after a while. But now, I don't have feelings for him any more. I

just see him as a friend. So I hope that it's clear to you."

Zed's face immediately turned cold after Jean mentioned Ethan. The bitterness in his eyes got even

worse.

He remembered that Winner showed him some photos of Jean going with Ethan. Jean and Ethan

spent a day together after Zed left Kim Village.

"Why are you talking about this?" He said in a cold tone. His attitude was totally changed.

Jean was dazzled for a while and slightly bit her lips after she noticed that Zed's attitude suddenly

changed, "I just want to explain it to you and make everything clear. It was not like what you think."

She thought that Zed truly cared for and was concerned about her. Yet, she didn't exert effort to win his

heart.

However, his following words put all the burning flames out of her heart.

"You don't have to explain it to me. We are just acting to be a couple. Once our play is done, we will be

strangers again." He said in an apathetic tone. He was expressionless. It seemed like all the intimate

interactions between the two of them earlier suddenly faded into the air.

Jean's eyes darkened. She slowly looked down with a hint of bitterness shown in her eyes. There's a

tingling pain in her heart. It's her first time to confess her true feelings yet, she ended up getting deeply

hurt.

It turned out that she had just thought too much. It was just her bizarre and high hopes.

She smiled and tried to hold back the tears in her eyes, "Sorry. I took it wrong." She turned around and

prepared to walk away quickly.

But suddenly, a pair of large hands pulled her back.

His perfectly shaped eyebrows furrowed. He walked in front of her and stopped her.

He still couldn't let her go after all. Even though he knew that she had an ambiguous relationship with

Ethan, he still wanted to be with her.

Jean slowly looked up with her misty eyes. Then, her tears eventually fell down.

"What do you want?" She wiped the tears in her eyes off and sniffed.

Zed suddenly felt that his heart was stabbed with a knife when he saw that. It was extremely painful.

He tightly wrapped her in his arms, closed his eyes and whispered, "I'm sorry. I still care about

you."
