Chapter 104 Won''t You Let Me In


    Soon, the atmosphere became tense. Zed sat beside them. They didn''t think that Zed would be able to


    answer that question in a short while. He only hesitated for a few seconds and then said: "I fell in love


    with her at the first sight!"


    Hearing that he had fallen in love with Jean at the first sight, everyone present there beside Zed


    seemed a little shocked. Jean didn''t pay much attention to dressing up. She was not as beautiful and


    outstanding as Selena but she was indeed decently pretty.


    The CEO of the Qi Group had pretty unique taste in women.


    For rich men, falling in love at the first sight with a woman who was not very pretty was perhaps


    unusual.


    Ethan Lei took a sip of wine and got mad at Zed''s reply. He dared not reveal the truth about Zed''s


    marriage with Jean in public even when he knew that their marriage was nothing but a mere


    He pursed his lips and then gulped down a big sip of wine.


    During this feast, it looked like Ethan was the only one drinking so much. It looked like he was here to


    get drunk only.


    Jean was half full. When she looked around, she realized that Zed didn''t eat too much despite him


    having a good appetite. The atmosphere around the dining table looked very lively. The director and


    Essen took turns proposing a toast to Ethan and Zed.


    Jean got a little anxious when she realized that Ethan had already consumed over half a ss of spirit.


    ''Ethan couldn''t hold his liquor. Would he get drunkter? He has already consumed a lot of liquor in


    such a short while.''


    Zed who sat beside Jean, could see through her worried look. He then cast a quick nce at Jean


    without showing any jealousy. After lifting his tea cup, he took a gentle sip from it and then asked Jean


    in a nd voice, "Are you full?"


    "What?" Jean looked up and stared at him in confusion.


    "I want to know if you are full or not?" Jean knew that something big was about to happen, although


    Zed''s tone of voice was totally calm andposed.


    She nodded and responded: "Yea, I''m full."


    Before they left, Zed said, "Enjoy your meal. Me and my wife are going back to the hotel." Zed said with


    a straight face after putting his tea cup down on the table.


    "Mr. Qi, are you leaving?" It seemed that the director didn''t expect Zed to leave in such a hurry. Thus,


    he rose immediately from his chair and ran over to persuade him to stay further.


    "Mr. Qi. It is so hard for us to get together. Why are you leaving so early?


    "My wife is sleepy." He replied with an excuse in a very neutral tone. However, his reply still sounded


    like an order that shouldn''t be defied.


    Jean shivered a little. She couldn''t help but admire Zed for his distinguished performance in front of


    people. He gave an excuse to leave while showing his consideration for her. Jean even couldn''t


    remember Zed had treated her so well before.


    "I won''t persuade you to stay since Mrs. Qi is tired. Mr. Qi, please take care!"


    As they arrived at the hotel room, Jean felt a little sleepy.


    Since Zed was a little obsessed with cleanliness, he went straight to the bathroom after opening the


    door of their hotel room. Perhaps, he was going to take a shower.


    Jean couched on a sofa. She was thinking if they would sleep together on the same bed after he came


    back from a shower. Of course, while they were home, they used to sleep together on the bed.


    However, Jean believed that while they were away from home, they should now sleep alone.


    In addition to that, Jean was also hesitant whether she should take a shower or not. Her clean clothes


    weren''t back from theundry yet. And if she showered and didn''t change into clean clothes, she would


    feel very ufortable.


    All these things didn''t really matter that much. What''s important was if she didn''t take a shower, Zed


    would be able to distinguish the smelling from her body if they slept on the same bed.


    After reckless indulging in her wild flights of fancy, Jean finally fell asleep on the sofa. Things didn''t


    happen as Jean thought they would. Zed didn''t wake her up after his bath and let her sleep on the


    couch.


    Thus, Jean slept through the night without waking up.


    Jean found Zed wasn''t around when she woke up. When she looked at her watch, she realized it was


    already time for lunch.


    Thus, she hurriedly put away her luggage for checking out. Coincidentally, she met John when she


    walked out of the hotel room. He was staying in the same hotel as them. As he saw Jean, he greeted,


    "Did you sleep wellst night?" He pursed his lips with an obscure smile. His tone apparently implied


    something.


    Flushed, Jean gave him an angry stare and changed the topic. "Where are boss and the others?"


    asked Jean.


    "They are resting in their hotel rooms. We had lunch together and even called you, but you didn''t


    answer it. Probably, you were so tired that you fell into deep sleepst night." He jeered.


    Jean gritted her teeth while asking: "John, why are you always on a lookout for a gossip? I remember


    that you are very cold and elegant, isn''t it? Why do you always ridicule me?"


    "Well, the man that you must have met before might not be John, but just a disguise." He smiled again.


    Hearing this, Jean really didn''t know what to say. Since she found out that all of them already had


    lunch, she intended to go back to her hotel room.


    "If you are hungry, you can order the food from the hotel and ask the waiters to serve the food to your


    room. However, you must quickly finish your lunch as we have to leave in an hour." John exhorted.


    "In an hour?" Jean was a little shocked. "Wouldn''t the road be fixed by the afternoon? Why shall we


    leave now?"


    "The road has already been repaired in the morning. However, since all of us were tiredst night, we


    decided to leave after lunch."


    "In the morning?" She asked in amazement, "Then, did you see Zed?"


    "Didn''t he tell you that he had already left? He left in a hurry early in the morning. He might have some


    businesses to deal with in hispany."


    "Oh."


    Jean went back to her room. No wonder she hadn''t seen Zed. He had already left without saying a


    word. Thinking of this, she felt empty in her stomach. Her appetite had been killed though she was a


    little hungry.


    An hourter, they started off.


    However, Jean didn''t see Ethan Lei.


    She thought that he would have left earlier like Zed, so she wasn''t very concerned if Ethan was still


    there or not.


    She didn''t reach the destination untilte at night. She took a bath and then dined with John outside.


    After going back to her hotel room, Jean was going to sleep.


    The bell rang immediately after shey down.


    ''It is veryte in the night. Is it John?"


    As she opened the door, Jean found the man there was Ethan. He looked a little pallid. Jean was


    stunned and asked, "Didn''t you leave?"


    "No, I drank too much yesterday, so I didn''t wake up until this afternoon. After waking up, I found out


    that all of you already left." Judging from his pale face, Jean guessed that he must be very


    ufortable after the hangover.


    "Oh! I see......" She pursed her lips, but didn''t know what to say.


    Both of them just stood there still for quite a while without saying anything to each other. The situation


    became more and more embarrassing. Meanwhile, the air around them seemed to be a bit frozen.


    "Wouldn''t you let me in?" Ethan knew that Zed had already left. At that moment, he only wanted to


    have a heart-to-heart conversation with her.


    Jean felt a little embarrassed. After all, they would be humiliated if others found out that they were both


    staying in the same room.


    However, she felt it would be very cruel to keep him out since he looked so pale afterst night''s


    hangover.


    "Come in and have a cup of tea." Coincidentally, she had tea with her. She initially wanted to send the


    tea to her master but shepletely forgot probably because she got too busy with everything or


    maybe she was bothered by the trifles happening around her.


    Jean brew a cup of tea for Ethan and handed it over to him: "Drinking leads to headache. You will feel


    better after drinking some tea."


    Ethan held the cup and said thank you.


    He took a gentle sip while the tea was still very hot. Then, he put the cup down on the tea table. He


    was staring at Jean withplex emotions and judging from his eyes, he still looked a little gloomy.

    "Ethan, what''s wrong?" Since he looked sad, Jean asked with concern.


    Ethan kept silent for a moment. Even though he had something to tell Jean, he simply shook his head


    and said, "nothing."


    In 10 minutes, he finished his tea and left. When he left, Jean felt a little confused as to why he


    behaved so awkwardly today.
