"I'm sorry to wake you up," Zed said softly.
"No, I was already awake," Jean replied briskly, while she selected the shoes she wanted to wear. "Is there anything you want from me? I think it is impossible for you to call me, just to ask me whether I am awake or not,"
Jean asked doubtfully.
"Of course not!" Zed said with a smile,"I see that you are getting smarter every day. Now you know more about me and understand me a lot more too."
'If not, last night, I wouldn't have lost control of my feelings and told you the truth.
It doesn't really matter because now I am capable of protecting you, '
Zed thought. "Is this something good or bad?" Jean asked playfully, with her head tilted towards one side.
"It's really a good thing!" Zed replied,"Okay, let's get down to business now. My grandpa's flight will land soon. I have to deal with something in the company. Could you please ask Jesse to take you to the airport so that you can pick up my grandpa? For my sake, Jean, please do not fight with Jesse, okay?"
Zed was the only one who knew Jean this well.
His last sentence stopped Jean and she accepted his request.
"Okay!" Jean nodded,"I will go pick up your grandpa from the airport. You should stop worrying and focus on your work!"
"You have to be careful and take care of yourself. I will send someone to look after you and my grandpa," Zed said with concern.
"Zed, I wonder why you always send people to accompany me."
Jean finally asked the question that she wanted to ask for a long time.
'It is impossible for Zed to figure out that someone want to frame me, '
she thought. "I send people to protect you, not to follow you," Zed explained. "Don't think too much. I will explain everything when I come back home tonight. Okay?"
As soon as Jean heard Zed's words, she said,"Okay!"
Jean looked at the clothes she was wearing after she hung up the phone. She walked to the dressing room again and selected something decent to wear.
After she wore the dress she chose, Jean stood in front of the mirror and smiled. She put on light makeup, took her handbag and w
“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.
Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...
er sister, '
Jean thought to herself. She felt lucky. Although there were some misunderstandings between them last night, they talked it through and forgot the bad experience they had.
The most important thing was that they loved each other and nothing could come between them.
"Is everything.. okay between you and Zed?" Jesse finally spoke.
She looked Jean in the eye. Jesse felt quite sad as she asked this.
Jean turned around and looked at Jesse. Instead she asked,"Do you want to see us together?"
"Jean, what do you mean by that?" Jesse's face turned gloomy. She raised her head and quickly looked at Terry. When she made sure that Terry kept looking ahead, Jesse continued,"I said that because I am worried about you and Zed. Can't I even ask you that?"
"Of course you can!" Jean replied with a smile,"But I wondered as to what reply were you expecting from me. I wanted to know that so that I can answer accordingly."
"You.." Jesse was shocked by Jean's words and wondered as to when did Jean become like this.
Jesse expected Jean to not answer the question directly but as she did, Jesse was embarrassed to reply.
"I certainly hope that you and Zed get back together." Jesse replied angrily.
"The answer to your question is just as you expected. We have reconciled with each other," Jean said bluntly.
She looked at Jesse with a smile, as if she had just placed her bets.
