Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

"You!"

Jean's cheek turned red from Zed's prank.

"Get change and follow me."

His playful demeanor turned serious.

With all her might, Jean pulled her hand out of Zed's grip. She then turned to him with a cold refusal, "No!"

"You don't get to choose, unless you rather lose your residence booklet?" Zed said nothing more and went straight toward the bathroom.

Jean rushed to the front of the bathroom door and blocked Zed's way. She scowled at him wide eyed, "Why? You didn't even returned my booklet even though I accompanied you to your ex's birthday party last time. If you want me to participate this time, you'll have to give it back to me first!"

Zed frowned slightly with his eyes squinting at Jean, "What made you think you have the qualification to negotiate with me? It's your call, to go or not."

With that, Zed attempted to proceed forward but Jean refused to budge. She was determined to not let him through and thus their stubbornness came to a draw. Their bodies were leaning against each other now.

Zed lowered his head and stared into her eyes with his deep colored pupil. His long slender fingers held her chin up. "Are you going to move away? Or... you want to take a bath with me?"

"You!" Jean felt embarrassed and angered at the same time, she had no choice but to turn aside and let him go.

When the bathroom door closed, she waved her fist against the air and vented her anger at the bathroom direction.

"I am not going! I don't see how you would benefit from keeping my booklet. I'll have you know the game is on! You're a billionaire tycoon and I'm just an exiled second generation of a pseudo rich family. I'm clearly not on the losing end in this marriage so let's see who will be the last one standing! Hmph!"

She felt better after all the yelling. She changed her clothes and went out after taking Zed's gold credit card from his wallet.

Since Zed refused to divorce her, Jean remained as his legal wife. There was nothing wrong for a wife to spend her husband's money, right?

Jean went to the high-end health care club under the Qi Group. She walked to the reception desk and gave them Zed's credit card.

"Ahem, can you verify for me if this card requires password for payment?" She might be lacking in confidence but she managed to make the inquiry by being thick-skinned.

The receptionist couldn't quite put a finger on the familiar face when they saw Jean. Though everything clicked when they checked the card. Their boss's name was on it and the lady before them was his newlywed wife. They immediately bowed and greeted to her. "Mrs. Qi, I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you. I don't think you're required to make any payment here..."

"I don't need to pay? So which program am I eligible for?"

"All of them of course, which service would you like to experience? I can arrange them for you right away."

Jean rejoiced in secret. She picked up the pamphlet to study the packages and selected the most expensive one.

"First a royal spa treatment, please add this nano hyaluronic acid mask for me as well, also the golden hand mask too..."

"Okay, no problem. Everything is ready, this way please..."

...

Zed got out of the bathroom to find Jean was already gone. He ate breakfast nonchalantly, thinking that since Jean had no money to spend, she probably won't be out for long.

It was already noon and yet Jean was no where to be found. There was a banquet to attend later today. It was about time he brought her back. He picked up his phone and opened the location app. She was in the health care club managed by their corporation. Without any delay, Zed called up the person in charge there.

"Mr. Xia, erm... Is my wife in your club?"

"Yes, Mr. Qi."

"What is she doing there?"

"Mrs. Qi is having a royal SPA service."

"What?"

Zed almost spit his drink out. His face turned stern.

'This woman really knows how to enjoy life. She went straight to their spa right after rejecting my offer with all her might. Where did she find all that courage?'

Zed put on his coat, took his car key and drove straight to the health care club.

Ten minutes later, he stepped into the club with his air of dominance. His face grim and body tensed.

"Welcome, Mr. Qi."

"Welcome, Mr. Qi."

Zed's presence startled the receptionist. They quickly got up to greet him.

He waved his hand to dismiss them. After inquiring Jean's whereabout, he headed to the private room by himself.

"This feels good! A little harder... Ah..."

Zed could hear Jean's delightful moan outside the room, it escalated his rage even more.

"A little harder, around my shoulders... Ahh that's the spot... that's good..."

Zed's anger grew; he couldn't take it anymore and so he left the private room. He walked back to the receptionist, gave them some orders and returned to his car. Dong dong dong...

The receptionist knocked on Jean's private room. They came just as Zed had instructed them to.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Qi, we have a few more notable programs here, they are exclusively for our VIP customers. Would you like to give it a try?"

Jean felt a sense of pride upon the mention of her being a VIP customer. She nodded quickly without any second thought!

The staff took Jean into another room, they helped her on with a white dress. The dress was beautiful but it was one size smaller. It took several people to help her fit in and pulled up the zipper.

"This dress is really nice, is it really for me?"

"Yes. We prepare exclusive attire for our VIP guest. This dress fits your elegance very well. I will help you with your makeup now."

Jean didn't doubt what the staff had said. She sucked in her stomach and left the club after having her makeup done. There was a car waiting for her at the entrance. She was told they have arranged a driver to send her to a VIP party. Jean pulled the car door open with much joy until she realized Zed was in it. He pulled her into the car before she could make her escape.

"You really know how to pamper yourself, don't you?" Zed stared at Jean coldly.

Jean pouted. She turned her head to the side to look outside the window. Kicking the 12 centimeter high heel off her feet, she began to rant, "It was obvious that such services do not exist! Free dress and makeup? It's all just to trick me! I already told you I am not going to company you to that banquet of yours. If you are forcing me to attend, I am going to go there barefooted!"

"Sure. I am look forward to it."

Zed still looking serious, took his phone out to do some calculation. "This is what you just spend in the club. A total of 87, 500 dollar. I'll give you a discount and get rid a zero for you so it's 88, 000 dollar now." "You!"

She turned back to face Zed, pointing at him with her index finger and her teeth grind from frustration.

Zed tapped on his phone again to call his secretary.

"That land in the suburb..."

Jean was alerted the moment she heard that. She quickly hug Zed in defense "Darling, where is the banquet being held at? Do I look good in this dress?"

"Mr. Qi, what can I do for you?" The secretary felt puzzled when he overheard Jean's frisky comments over the call.

The corner of his mouth lifted slightly. Zed gave a pale smile as he replied "Nothing for now."0000
