BXBX NOVEL Chapter 106 I Won't Fail
"Oh Wifey, you are here. I\'ve been searching for you everywhere. I miss you." After saying that, Tristan gave her a peck on her right cheek.
Zhen-Zhen:"..."
Liam:"..."
Zhen-Zhen and Liam were both surprised by the sudden appearance of Tristan. Both of them were having different thoughts at the same time.
Zhen-Zhen was wondering why Tristan suddenly called her \'Wifey\' instead of Lillie, plus his last statements didn\'t make sense.
\'Why is he searching for me? Did he forget that I was taking the examination in room 405?\' she mused to herself. But in the end, Zhen-Zhen\'s face brightened up as Tristan was hugging her from behind. Her heart was also rejoicing after hearing the word \'I miss you\' coming from Tristan.
On the other hand, Liam felt a little bit awkward and uncomfortable with the cold sharp gaze Tristan was giving him as if he was telling him to f*ck off. Besides, he didn\'t do anything wrong to deserve that cold and threatening glare coming from Tristan.
Liam shifted his gaze from Zhen-Zhen to Tristan. Scratching the back of his head, he smiled at them awkwardly. He didn\'t expect that Zhen-Zhen was already married and already had a husband who seemed to be very possessive.
Liam was a man, himself, so he understood Tristan\'s gestures. He was putting an act in front of him showing him that Zhen-Zhen was his woman, guarding her against any man who would try to hit on her.
He couldn\'t blame him since he knew the fact that Zhen-Zhen was a very gorgeous and stunning woman who would attract a lot of men. He admitted to himself that even he was mesmerized by her natural beauty.
To lessen the tension between them, Liam decided to speak up first and greet Tristan politely.
"Hello, Mr. Meyer. I am Liam Clark, one of the proctors for today\'s Educational Placement Examination. I heard your wife also take the exam today." Liam just assumed and decided to call Tristan, \'Mr. Meyer\' since he called Zhen-Zhen \'Wifey\'.
"Oh, then Mr. Clark I think you should go back there already and watch over your examinees. What if they try to cheat in your absence?" Tristan didn\'t sound friendly at all, despite the efforts of Liam to start a friendly conversation with him.
Liam was about to respond to Tristan when suddenly Zhen-Zhen butted in. "It\'s Davies."
The two men stopped staring at each other as their attentions were caught by Zhen- Zhen the moment she spoke up.
"Pardon, Mrs. Meyer?" Liam was the one who voiced out his confusion. He didn\'t know what she meant by saying that.
Zhen-Zhen just smiled brightly while holding Tristan\'s arms which were hooked around her waist before responding to Liam. "His surname is Davies, not Meyer." Zhen-Zhen corrected Liam\'s wrong assumption.
Tristan had the urge to facepalm after hearing Zhen-Zhen\'s remarks. \'Hey, what is she trying to do here? Is she selling me out? Why she had to be so honest to the extent of revealing my lie?\'
Meanwhile, Liam became more confused after hearing that.
"I thought you were both husband and wife? Then why do you have different surnames?" Liam couldn\'t help himself from asking them. He became curious.
Tristan looked daggers at Liam once again as if he was telling him \'You don\'t need to know. Why do you care? Are we close? We have no obligation to answer your question.\'
Out of the blue, Zhen-Zhen was the one who answered Liam. "We are not yet husband and wife." she simply stated.
\'Zhen-Zhen!!!!\' Tristan screamed her name in his mind.
His grip on her body tightened. His face became red from embarrassment. He just called her wifey in front of Liam but Zhen-Zhen blatantly denied that they were not yet husband and wife. Now he wished that the ground would open up for him and swallow him up whole just to be saved in this embarrassing moment.
"Oh," That\'s the only word Liam could utter.
But Zhen-Zhen said another word to redeem Tristan\'s face. "But Tristan and I will soon become husband and wife officially. We will get married next week after we get the result of my examination!"
The two men could hear the joy and excitement in her voice. Tristan who was about to dig a hole to hide gained back his confidence. Now he could face Liam proudly while claiming Zhen-Zhen as his.
"Oh, congratulation in advance and best wishes to both of you, Mr. and Mrs. Davies." Liam greeted them with a faint smile.
Tristan just nodded at him while Zhen-Zhen mumbled the word "Thank you."
"Alright, I have to go now. Mr. Davies is right. I should go back and monitor the examinees. I just took a CR break that\'s why I was outside for a while." Liam finally bade them goodbye.
Tristan could finally relax when Liam disappeared from his sight. He admitted that Liam was also a handsome guy that\'s why he felt threatened a while ago when he saw Zhen-Zhen and Liam talking to each other while smiling and laughing with one another.
Then he held Zhen-Zhen\'s shoulders, turning her body so that she could face him.
"What is that all about Zhen-Zhen?" Tristan asked her with a serious expression on his face.
But Zhen-Zhen ignored his question as she immediately threw herself at Tristan, hugging him.
"Tristan, I\'m done taking the examination! Then we will get married next week. I\'m so excited!!!"
The unhappiness Tristan\'s felt a while ago suddenly disappeared because of Zhen-Zhen\'s enthusiasm for their upcoming marriage registration.
Zhen-Zhen was still hugging Tristan when he realized something. "Eh?? Zhen- Zhen, wait! Why are you already out? The exam will last for four hours, right?"
Zhen-Zhen gazed up to Tristan and simply said, "Because I\'m done answering all the questions. Most importantly, I don\'t want to make you wait for me that long."
Tristan had a bad feeling about it. "Hey, Don\'t tell me you just randomly chose your answers Zhen-Zhen so that you could leave early?! Did you forget that we will only register our marriage if you pass the exam? What if you would fail the exam because you finished taking it as early as this?"
Zhen-Zhen cupped his face and with overwhelming confidence, she said to him, "Don\'t worry, Tristan. I won\'t fail. I will definitely pass the exam!"
Tristan: "..."
