BXBX NOVEL Chapter 130 She's Special
Tristan was very attentive to Zhen-Zhen during the entire duration of the program. He decided not to pay attention to Andrew and Hannah.
Zhen-Zhen's presence helped him divert his focus. He entertained her, not making her feel out of place. He was also acting as a very sweet husband, putting food on her plate to make sure she would have a fill.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were even feeding each other, not minding the people who were silently watching them. Lucas and Isabelle couldn't wait to ask them again about Zhen-Zhen's pregnancy.
But little did they know, when Zhen-Zhen mentioned that Tristan did it for her, she was referring to the passing of her exam. Tristan promised to register their marriage once Zhen-Zhen passed the Educational Placement Examination.
Grandpa Lu didn't make it very obvious but deep inside, he was also excited to know if he would have a great-grandchild. He was stealing a glance at the couple from time to time.
'This punk is intentionally killing us with suspense.' Grandpa Lu mumbled to himself.
Then he turned to Assistant Twig who was sitting beside him. "How long will it take for this engagement party to end?"
Assistant Twig just looked at Grandpa Lu helplessly. He could sense that Grandpa Lu felt impatient already. He wanted the program to finish as soon as possible so that he could confront Tristan.
"Chairman Lu, I think it will take another one hour. It depends on the flow of the program the event organizers had created."
Grandpa Lu could only sigh deeply while waiting for the program to end. Soon selected friends and family members from both Miller and Davies started to give their congratulatory message to the engaged couple.
The family and relatives were also gathered at the center stage to have their pictures together with the engaged couple. The program ended smoothly.
Because of the incident a while ago, Grandpa Lu had warned the reporters not to create more trouble for anyone from the members of the family.
They asked them to behave well or else the Davies Family bodyguards would take action to send them out of the venue.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen distanced themselves from the reporters. So the reporters inside just focused on getting statements from Andrew and Hannah regarding their engagement party.
Soon, the other guests left the venue after congratulating the couple. Some members of the Davies and Miller family remained in the banquet hall.
While Andrew and Hannah's parents were talking to them, Grandpa Lu grabbed the opportunity to talk privately with Tristan.
"Grandson, come here. Let's talk," Grandpa Lu said, catching the attention of Zhen-Zhen and Tristan.
Tristan nodded at Grandpa Lu. Then he talked to Zhen-Zhen first before coming to Grandpa Lu.
"Wifey, I'm gonna talk with Grandpa. Stay with Matthew while I'm not around. Understand?"
Tristan also signaled Matthew to come over. Matthew immediately complied with his request as he walked towards their direction.
The twins, Blake and Jake also grabbed the chance to meet and talk to Lillie so they followed Matthew behind.
"Matt, please accompany Lillie for a while," Tristan said, the moment Matthew reached their spot.
Blake: "Don't worry cousin! Lillie is safe with us."
Jake: "Yeah, just leave her with us."
Matthew didn't get the chance to reply to Tristan because Blake and Jake cut him off first. He didn't know that the twins had already followed him.
Tristan nodded at them with a smile.
"Wait for me," Tristan softly said to Zhen-Zhen before leaving her with Matthew and the Twins.
Zhen-Zhen just bobbed her head while waving her hand at Tristan. She felt comfortable with Matthew so she's alright staying with him while Tristan was not beside her.
Grandpa Lu was standing on the corner of the banquet hall, waiting for Tristan. His parents didn't know the deal between Grandpa Lu and Tristan that's why Grandpa Lu wanted to talk to Tristan alone.
Cough! Cough!
Grandpa Lu simply cleared his throat when Tristan arrived.
"Now, grandson… talk to me. Is your wife already pregnant?" Grandpa Lu couldn't help himself but ask him. He was really dying to know the answer.
Tristan sighed helplessly. His grandpa was really excited to have a great-grandchild.
'I hope this sly old man will not threaten me again. If he does then I'm afraid this time he will ask me to give him a grandchild since I already fulfilled his wish. I brought my wife tonight.'
"Grandpa… I'm sorry to disappoint you but my wife is not yet pregnant. Of all the people here, you are the one who knows the reason why I got married right away. You threatened me, remember?" Tristan said, trying to make his old man guilty for blackmailing him.
Grandpa Lu wrinkled his brows upon hearing that. His hope of hearing a piece of good news about great-grandchild had just shattered by Tristan's direct answer. He couldn't hide his disappointment.
Tristan didn't know whether to laugh or cry because of Grandpa Lu's disappointed reaction.
'Grandpa… if you just knew what I've gone through in the past week then you would surely pity your grandson. I'd tried but I failed because of that d@mn nightmare!' Tristan also sighed frustratedly.
Now, the grandfather and grandson duo were both having gloomy expressions.
After their long silence, Grandpa Lu spoke up once again.
"So this is your answer. You've decided to marry, instead of losing your CEO position."
Tristan nodded to confirm it.
"Did you fake your marriage?" Grandpa Lu asked him suspiciously.
"Of course not. I can send you a copy of our marriage certificate. It's not fake." Tristan promptly said.
"Hmm. Alright. I still have ways to find out. Why did you choose Lillie? She's the one who seduced your brother." Grandpa started interrogating him.
Tristan paused for a moment before answering his grandpa. After a few seconds, he found the answer in his mind.
"Because Lillie is different from others… she's special..." Then his lips curled up into a gentle smile, his eyes filled with tenderness as his expression softened.
"Very special to me,"
