Chapter 30 We Are Getting Divorced


    "Wait!"


    She panicked. Her heart was racing. However, it''s proven that men do like this kind of things, just like


    how it is in TV shows.


    With just a little romantic atmosphere, the n was already half seeded.


    He ignored what Jean said and lifted her up, all the way from the living room to the bedroom. He ced


    her down gently on the big soft bed.


    "Wait for what?"


    His breathing was heavy and his gaze at her was full of burning passion.


    "When...When are you going to divorce me?"


    She was only trying to mimic the TV shows to see if Zed would have any respond. Much to her


    surprise, he reacted so intensely with such haste.


    It worked on Zed, but it should have been Eva, not her!


    The burning mes in Zed''s eyes were put out almost instantly by her words. His face gloomed. He


    looked at her coldly," Do you think this is a good time to talk about it? Are you that desperate to leave


    me?"


    Jean nodded rapidly," It''s already been decided long ago. We''ll divorce once the time is right but you''ve


    confiscated my residence booklet and denied the divorce. Further more, the Wen Group is in a total


    mess, I have no further use for you anymore. Why don''t you just keep your promise and divorce me, go


    back to your life as an eligible bachelor?"


    Their marriage was only for business benefits. Since the deal hase to an end, it only makes sense


    that the marriage should as well. Even more so now that everyone has already gotten their profits


    respectively. Most importantly, she was afraid that she would be obsessed with him if they stayed


    together any longer.


    It is Zed she is talking about. He''s rich and handsome. He was being gentle and considerate too


    recently, which has made her heart skipped.


    "An eligible bachelor? Heh, I believe it''s you who is eager to be single again."


    He got up suddenly and left the bedroom in rage. The sound of a departed car was heard not long after


    the door mmed. Zed had left the vi.


    Jean was left alone in this huge house. She dazed for a while because she didn''t understand why Zed


    got angry. She felt lost.


    "Never mind. At least I found out he likes those kind of romantic ambiance. I have to tell Evater!"


    Comforting herself, Jean walked to the dining room and finished up the steak that she had cooked


    painstakingly.


    ...


    Zed drank up three shots the moment he arrived at the club. He showed no signs of intoxication.


    Having to apany his father to entertain their clients since a very young age, his body was already


    used to the huge intake of alcohol. He was already numb at this point, this amount was nothing to him.


    "Mr. Qi, bad night?" Zack Xing, the CEO of this club came over and inquired. He proceeded to call the


    bartender to open his reserved wine.


    Zed gave a faint smile when he caught a whiff of the fragrance from the wine. "Zack, you''re finally


    willing to open it?"


    "I only opened it because I saw you in such a bad mood. I will take it away if you don''t want it."


    "Hey, it''s already opened. Wouldn''t it be such a waste if we don''t drink it?"


    "I think you''re just pretending to be moody so you''ll make me serve you the wine."


    They were drinking, talking andughing. They used to be ssmates when they studied abroad. After


    they came back, they each took over their family business. They remained good friends.


    "Let me ask you ame question. Don''tugh at me, alright." Zed hesitated a little but still ended up


    asking Zack anyway. He wanted to see if Zack could help him with his uncertainty.


    After Zack nodded, he continued," Is it possible for you to fall in love with a woman in a short time?"


    After hearing his question, Zack was stunned for a moment, he reached out and patted Zed on the


    shoulder as heughed. "What a surprise! Who would have thought someone as ice-cold as you would


    be touched? Is there any photo of her? I am curious which goddess is capable of melting your heart."


    "Look at you!"

    Zed frowned. Zack promised not tough at him but he did.


    "All right. I''ll stop teasing you. Look at my ce, even though all the girls here are thick in makeup, they


    are all above average, yet, none of them made you bat an eye. A girl who catches your attention must


    be really special! As for falling in love with someone in a short time, it is possible. I experienced love at


    first sight once. Ahem... though I won''t bring up the past."


    Zed finished half the ss of wine. Zack''s answer was useless as his uncertainty remained.


    It was already midnight when Zed returned home. He walked into the bedroom reek of alcohol. Looking


    at the woman who was asleep on the bed, he frowned his brows as hey down beside her. She turned


    around to embrace him out of habit.


    Next morning, Jean''s cellphone won''t stop ringing. It woke Zed up, too.


    "If it rings again, I will smash it."


    In fear of his threat, Jean sat up rubbing her eyes and picked up her phone.


    Her father was calling her. She frowned and hung up. He called again. This repeated a few times until


    she got annoyed. On the fifth time, Jean answered the call angrily.


    "What!" She hissed at the phone impatiently.


    "Is everything okay? Why are you so angry?" It was not from her father.


    She checked the screen of her cellphone immediately and found that it was her ssmate, Michelle Li.


    "I''m so sorry. I got a prank call just now. What''s up?"


    She felt a little embarrassed. She could see Zed was ring at her at the corner of her eyes. She got


    out of the bed quickly and stepped out to the balcony to resume her talk.


    "I heard that you''re married to Zed, the CEO of Qi Group. Congrattions! I actually joined the Qi


    Group not long ago. Since we are ssmates, I am wondering if you can put in a few good words


    about me to Zed so my probation period can be shortened. I understand that it is not appropriate but


    please understand that I have a family issue at the moment. My dad has a debt. I..."


    Michelle''s voice choked up with tears.


    "Michelle, please don''t cry... This is just a business marriage between Zed and me. Besides, we are


    getting divorced soon. As much as I like to help you..."


    "Huh? No way. Then forget it. I will talk to youter."


    Beep beep beep...


    It took Jean several seconds to realize that the call has ended. She was going to say that she could


    give it a try and talk to Zed about it but Michelle hung up so fast that she didn''t even get the chance to


    tell her.


    Her attitude changed almost instantly the moment she heard about the divorce.


    When Jean turned around to head back into the bedroom, Zed was already standing behind her,


    leaning against the ss doorzily in his cozy pajama.


    "Were you eavesdropping?"


    He shrugged and threw up his hands," This is my house. I have the right to listen."


    Jean was already annoyed by Michelle''s treatment. Now she was even more irritated after hearing


    Zed''s statement. She strode past him and deliberately hit him with her shoulder.


    All of a sudden, her arm was caught by his hands. He pulled her hard towards him and she fell into his


    embrace. Jean looked up and stared at him wide eyed," What do you want?"


    "Nothing. What about you?" His lips curled to a smirk.
