Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Upon hearing Zed's question, Jean felt goosebumps spreading across her body. She wondered, 'How can Zed say something so intimate in front of so many people?'

Jean bit her lip. At that moment, she hated Zed very much. She thought, 'I have to act in front of his parents at home. I'm fine with that. But now we are outside. Why should I still pretend to be a couple with him?

Zed is terrible for constantly putting me in these situations. What does he hope to accomplish with his unexpected appearance, his verbal fight with Ethan, and now this feigned concern and intimacy?'

"Hehehe, " Jean laughed in embarrassment before continuing, "Honey, what route did you take to get here? We were all just told that the mountain road is blocked. How did you manage to get past all the rubble?"

"The mountain road is blocked? I don't remember seeing any such disaster that would force the authorities to close the roads. I wonder if something happened after I passed a certain point." He raised his eyebrows, "Does this mean that we have to stay here tonight?" Zed closed his eyes after asking that question. He seemed to be lost in his thoughts.

"Yes, we have to stay here. Or so that's what we've been told." Jean bowed her head and thought, 'Today has been a terrible day!' As if their situation wasn't bad enough, now fate had to throw Zed into the mix. How was she going to deal with all these complications?

She was sure that since Zed was here, it would be impossible for her to have a peaceful night.

Ethan knew that Zed was deliberately pretending to be happy around Jean, so he didn't pay any attention to anything that was happening between the young couple.

At that time Ethan's assistant walked up to him and whispered, "I made a round of the neighborhood and found that there is a tourist spot about ten miles from here."

Although he spoke softly, yet all the people present had heard him.

"Jean, let's go there in my car, okay?" Ethan said.

Before Jean could reply, Zed wrapped his arms around her shoulder and smiled at Ethan, "Don't bother, Mr. Lei. She is my wife. Of course, she will be traveling with me."

Zed and Ethan glowered at each other. They looked calm on the outside. But in fact, extreme hatred reflected in their eyes.
