Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 337 I Can Always Guide You

Zed looked confused, unable to understand what Jean's words actually meant.

His puzzled look lifted her spirit and Jean let out a sigh of relief.

'It means that Zed hasn't seen those two ladies.

But even if he saw them, then chances are they didn't talk to each other. It must have looked

completely normal, ' Jean thought.

Relief washed over her and now she felt a smile appear on her face. "Nothing. You were with Ron and

Calvin, weren't you? Why did you come here? It's women's toilet!"

She changed the topic, not wanting Zed to prob her with more questions.

Unsatisfied with her behavior, Zed glared at her and said,"All because of you! Do you know that there

are journalists and paparazzi everywhere watching us? If you are caught, then you will get yourself into

trouble."

"Zed..." Speaking of it, Jean's face lit up and there was a twinkle of happiness in her eyes. "I do think

grandpa is awesome! As long as you and Ron stand there together, the video thing is solved. You don't

even need to say a word."

"I agree. I was so silly ?that?I didn't even consider this plan earlier! It turns out that sorting this mess is

not as difficult as I thought." He smiled wryly at Jean. After the video thing happened, he had been

worried about Jean's safety and tried his best to find the culprit.

Once the idea of showing up in public to convince the public came to his head, he had some worries

and thought it would go wrong.

Fortunately, grandpa got involved and sorted things out with ease.

"So does it mean we don't need to worry about it anymore?" asked Jean gleefully, as she gave a big

smile to her husband.

"Relatively, yes!" The big smile on her face pleased Zed too. In the last couple of face, Jean looked sad

and miserable. He held her hands tenderly and said,"Let's leave here! Are you going to stay here for

the whole night? The party is about to get started soon, so will you dance with me?"

"I am not good at dancing..." Jean blushed, turning crimson with embarrassment. She wasn't confident

about her moves.

"It's okay. I can always guide you. But you'd better learn to dance well because we will engage in many

social activities in the coming future." With his arm around her waist, Zed spoke to her patiently.

"Can I just not learn to dance?" Jean said looking annoyed with the prospect of learning dance. "I am

very clumsy and find dancing really hard."

Hearing this, Zed stopped taunting her. His intention was to persuade her to dance, but she looked

embarrassed and that made him feel awful. "Fine! Whatever you like!" He heaved a sigh.

Jean detected a tinge of disappointment in his tone.

Deep down, she didn't want to dance. In fact after listening to Jesse and Shirley, the last thing she

wanted to do was dance.

With all these problems, she had no time for entertainment. Moreover, she was not an actress who

could dance happily pretending like nothing had happened.

Her plan was to sit in some corner while she kept an eye on Jesse and Shirley so that they wouldn't

have a chance to be together.

Instincts told her that things were not that simple since Jesse invited Shirley to the party.

'Is she anxious to get her plan started now?

Maybe the presence of grandpa and Zed will scare her.

Is she doing this because she is afraid of her grandpa taking her back with him?

If that is the case then it makes sense, ' Jean thought while looking doubtful.

Zed stood beside her but they were both quiet on the way back to the party hall. When they met

Maranda, Ron and Calvin, they stopped and sat down to chat with them.

"Thank you guys for showing up and doing me a favor today. To some extent, the video crisis has been

solved." Zed raised his glass of wine and made a toast while he smiled genuinely.

"We are friends and there is?no room for?such formalities between friends," said Ron who looked

happy for Jean and Zed.

"Ron is right! We had to do it for the sake of elders of our families, so please don't thank us," Calvin

added agreeing with Ron.

Jean and Maranda looked at each other, opened their eyes wide and in a surprising tone asked

them,"Do you know each other?"

"We not only know each other, but also grew up in the same courtyard." Ron burst into laughter when

he noticed the astonished look on Jean's and Maranda's face.

'Courtyard?'

Jean thought while a confused look started to show on her face.

"What's up?" Zed looked concerned when he noticed Jean's expression.

Following Zed's words, all the three faces turned to watch Jean. Feeling a little awkward, Jean

immediately shook her head and said,"Nothing." Afterward, she didn't talk much and stayed silent

throughout the conversation.

In actuality, Zed had roughly guessed what Jean was thinking about. To comfort her, he patted on her

shoulder gently and rubbed her back to console her.

His tender touch relaxed Jean and she felt much better.

Just at that moment, a piece of soft piano music in the background made the entire crowd silent.

Everyone started getting a hold of their partner to have a lovely dance.

Ron stood up, walked in front of Maranda and made a gentleman gesture for a dance.

Helplessly, Maranda looked back at Jean and got up. Finally, she put forward her hand on Ron's and

headed towards the dancing floor.

Jesse, who had kept an eye on Zed and Jean, noticed that they just sat there without going for a

dance. Delighted, Jesse started to walk towards them.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Jean spoke to Zed,"Zed, how about you ask someone to dance with you?"

"No need. I will just stay here with you." Saying that, he turned to look at Calvin and asked him,"Did you

bring any partner tonight?"

Slowly, Calvin picked up a glass of wine and took a slip. "Why do I have to bring a partner? It's good to

be alone."

The leisurely and unruffled Calvin surprised Zed. He wrinkled his brows and there was a subtle change

on his face.

"Zed, aren't you going to dance with Jean?" Jesse sprinted in front of Zed as she watched him with a

smile.

"Jean doesn't want to dance, so I am here to accompany her," Zed replied and gave Jesse a friendly

smile. Deep down, he truly treated her as his sister.

"Don't you think it's dull not to dance in such a beautiful night? Jean, are you really not going to

dance?" Jesse forced a smile at Jean and stood while she waited for an answer.

Now Jean understood Jesse wanted to dance with her husband. 'She is deliberately trying to steal him

in front of my eyes!' Jean thought. A victorious feeling of outwitting Jesse passed through her mind.

'Jesse, Zed is my husband and nothing you do can take him away from me.

I have no choice but to be unkind to your shameless behavior.'

With her plan ready, Jean suddenly turned her head to look at Zed and said,"Honey, I just feel like NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

dancing now. Let's go! Let's go and dance!" She flashed Jesse a smile as she whispered into Zed's ear.

There was a triumph in her eyes.

With a tinge of?surprise, Zed looked at Jean. When he saw that Jean was staring at Jesse, he

immediately understood Jean's intentions. He helplessly smiled and didn't say anything. 'If this is what

she wants, ' Zed thought with a sigh.

Feeling elated, Jean put her hand into Zed's to accept his invitation.

They danced happily and delightfully with the music. They were so tacit that they grabbed everyone's

attention.

This annoyed and angered Jesse even more. She gritted her teeth feeling her growing hatred for Jean.

Rage was burning like fire in her heart and she angrily sat down and picked up a glass of wine on the

table and gulped it.

"Young ladies shouldn't drink too much wine. It's not good for your health!" Calvin, sitting beside her,

reminded her in a low voice.

"Don't bother talking to me. And It's none of your business!" Jesse barked in an ungrateful tone.

Ignoring the man who talked to her, she stared at the two people dancing on the dance floor feeling

disappointed.
