Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 323 Am I Still In Your Heart

"He is awake?" Zed was taken aback. "Why didn't my men tell me that?" he asked in surprise.

"Your men?" Jean immediately caught on to what she thought was the keyword from Zed. Staring at

him with a confused expression, she asked,"Zed! Tell me, how many people in the hospital are 'your

men'? And why did they have to inform you when Henry had woken up?"

Zed suddenly realized that he had been careless and now, the milk was spoilt. He blamed himself for

being so stupid and reckless in front of Jean.

However, it was not all his fault. He really didn't know that Henry had woken up, so was intensely

surprised when he learned about that. So much so that he almost jumped up.

"That is not important. What actually matters is that I should have known Henry had woken up as soon

as it happened. Anyway, if he is awake, why need you go back to the Wen Group? Was that his idea or

your doing?" Zed looked into her eyes and asked in a serious tone. He was beginning to get really

worried about her.

"I wanted to go back to the Wen Group." Jean did not want to hide the truth anymore, so she admitted

everything to him frankly, and continued,"You know the condition Henry is in right now! Although he is

awake now, it is not certain if he will recover fully or not. I didn't want the Wen Group to fall into Joy or

Shirley's hand, so I decided to go back. I intend to protect the company well."

"You..." Zed frowned. He didn't seem to be particularly agreeable with the idea. "If you want to work in a

company, there are a lot of subsidiaries of the Qi Group and you can choose from any of them and

continue to work here. But the Wen Group... Please trust me on this. Don't go back there."

"No." She downright refused his advice and replied,"I didn't say that I want to occupy the Wen Group. I

just..."

"You just what?" He looked at her with all the attention he could have given her, as if he didn't want to

miss any expression. He saw that she was biting her lips awkwardly. Worried and uneasy, he frowned Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

and couldn't help asking.

"Because my mother also contributed to the founding of the Wen Group. It was her efforts that made it

a successful business, and I don't want to see the company be controlled, taken over, and ruined by

Joy." Jean replied with a sigh.

She certainly didn't want to say anything about the doubts she held in her heart of her mother's death.

If she had told him about that, he would have opposed her intentions to go back to the Wen Group

even more.

Zed noticed that she was rather quiet after saying those words. And he lost himself into some deep

thoughts.

He pondered, 'Oh, at last! So that's the reason she wants to go back to the Wen Group.

It is because her mother endeavored to establish the Wen Group, which is also why she is always

ready to face all accusations that Henry can throw at her.

I see now!'

Zed found the answer to the question that had long been troubling him. The gaze he cast on her was

even gentler now. A tender love toward Jean flooded him.

He had long held the view that Jean was not as timid and weak as she looked like.

What had confused him most was why she had swallowed all the bitterness she had received when

Henry and Shirley had arrived.

Now, he finally knew the true reason behind her resolute manner.

He asked her in his mind, 'Jean, why are you so stubborn and silly? Why do you bother yourself all the

time and never tell me all this? How much pain have you suffered alone?'

He regretted everything so much more thinking about her past life now, and the fact that he had said so

many stupid words to her just now were not helping.

On seeing the complicated emtions that were crossing over his handsome face, Jean was finally

relieved.

Although she had still hid something, she still didn't want to be stopped by Zed.

After the heated agrument with him, she had a feeling that he still cared about her greatly and would

never stop her from going back to the Wen Group.

However, she hadn't expected him to act like this. On the contrary, she had hoped that he would be as

indifferent and cruel as he had been in the hospital that day.

The reason behind such a hope was that she had resolved to do what she wanted to do no matter who

tried to stop her. However, it was possible for her to lose that resolve if he continued to treat her so

gently.

"If you still want to go back to the Wen Group, I won't stop you then." Zed stared at her and sighed

before saying,"But you have to promise me that you will be careful and protect youself well. Promise

me that you won't give anyone a chance to hurt you."

"Zed..." Jean looked at Zed with great amazement. She couldn't help asking,"Zed, am I still in your

heart? Do you still love me?"

"I never said that you are not in my heart." Zed sighed as he gazed at her dotingly and continued to

say,"We are facing a rather complex situation now. It is so messy that I have to deal with it and give it

more attention and time than I can manage. So sometimes I might ignore your feelings but believe me

when I say that my feelings for you have never changed."

Jean heard his response and a big smile crept on her lips at once. She lighted up and said happily,"I

knew you wouldn't dump me that easily."

"Jean..." Zed looked at her a litlle helplessly. He had not thought that he would make up with her so

quickly.

But for God's sake, why did he want to be selfish this time.

"What's up?" Jean raised her head. Happiness showed on her delicate yet bright face. She turned to

look at him and even her eyes showcased her excitement.

There was a desire inside Zed which seemed to fuel him especially when he saw her big and bright

eyes staring at him. He couldn't control it anymore. He stretched out his hands to hold her face, closing

his eyes and kissing her so sincerely.

Both of them could feel their hearts beat quickly and strongly. Jean was eagerly waiting for that kiss to

fall on her face. Even her eyelashes were trembling in excitement. She could not control them just as

she could not control the extravagant ecstasy inside her heart.

As it turned out, she had long pretended not to care about him, but all that time, she had only been

deceiving herself.

She had comforted herself by thinking that she could still lead a happy life without him. She had

thought that she could go to work and be accompanied by friends and colleagues as usual. She had

even expected that she would forget him totally and find a new romantic relationship. But she now

knew that she was totally wrong. A life without Zed in it seemed to be a dark and bitter prospect now.

Now, she knew that she was still in his heart and that made her feel extremely content and happy.

She was so happy that she could feel all the little cells inside her body kick into action, making great

noises as if to announce her happiness to all the people in the world.

Zed...

It was the man in front of her who had become the source of all her ecstasy.

Everything she wanted, she could find in her dear Zed.

The atmosphere between them was quite wonderful. And the smell that emanated from her body was

so attractive, sweet and charming.

Concerned about Jean's weak body, Zed had intended to kiss her slightly on the face and then let her

go.

But he had never expected that just as he was about to leave her face, a pretty hand would reach

across his chest and tear off his bathrobe slightly, exposing his strong and masculine body to the air.

Zed opened his eyes immediately. He saw that Jean's face was unnaturally red as if she had been

drunk. He could feel her passion and love for him. Pleasure consumed him at once. He was trembling

before asking unbelievably,"Jean, dear, do you really mean that... Can I?"

Jean glanced at Zed with great shyness and quickly shifted her gaze on the other side as if to cover her

shame. She kissed Zed actively using her action to make him know her intention.

Zed immediately became a wolf when feeling Jean's passion for him. He could not control his desire

anymore and held Jean to the side of the bed. Then they fell into the white sheet on the bed.

Even the moon was too shy to peek onto the room. The night was dark and it hid itself behind the

clouds. The world was becoming quiet. However, their bedroom wasn't about to be silenced so soon...

Jean woke up by herself. When she stretched her body a little, she found that Zed was not by her side.

He had gone and even the place he had slept on had been cold.

Jean hurriedly opened her eyes. The crazy action of both them kept playing in her mind. A sweet smile

appeared on her face in secret.

The sadness that had long bothered her had totally vanished with the influence of Zed's passion for her

last night.

Although they had been indulged in love and excitement and she only had slept for three hours, Jean

was full of spirit and had a rosy face. Anyone who saw her could find out that she was deep in love and

had been loved by a man.

Jean also saw the change in the mirror. She laughed out in happiness.

Then she had a quick wash and changed her clothes.

Her moblie phone rang just at that moment.

It was just like a telepathy that struck on Jean. She was sure the call must be from Zed.

Sure enough, when she picked up her phone, the name showed on the screen was exactly Zed. She

smiled pleasantly again and received the call,"Zed..."

Zed hadn't heard Jean's sweet voice for a whole morning. So when the voice came to his ears through

the phone, a big smile crept on his handsome face.
