BXBX NOVEL Chapter 254 Zhen-Zhen's Teasing
Tristan guided Zhen-Zhen to the car. He opened the car door for her and let her in first before he proceeded to the driver\'s side.
Tristan\'s mind was still not at ease. Liam\'s presence around Zhen-Zhen was making him uneasy. Despite Zhen-Zhen\'s makeover, Liam could still recognize her. The way Liam looked at Zhen-Zhen, Tristan didn\'t like it.
Seeing him holding her hand, Tristan couldn\'t help but feel upset. He knew it was just a greeting and Liam was congratulating Zhen-Zhen. However, Tristan\'s possessiveness over her was affecting his emotions right now.
Tristan was quiet during the entire ride. Zhen-Zhen was stealing glances at him from time to time. She could see that Tristan seemed like he was bothered by something.
"Hubby, are you alright?" Zhen-Zhen asked Tristan with her worried look.
Tristan glanced in her direction after hearing her soft mellow voice. Tristan checked her out for a few seconds before sighing deeply.
Instead of answering Zhen-Zhen\'s query, Tristan asked her something.
"Wifey, who is more handsome, me or Liam?"
Zhen-Zhen paused for a moment, eyeing Tristan with confusion. She didn\'t know why Tristan was suddenly asking her this.
She brought her fingers on her lips once again, tracing them as she was thinking about his question.
Tristan\'s mood worsened because Zhen-Zhen took her time to answer that question.
\'Can\'t she just tell me right away that I am more handsome than Liam? Why does she need to think it over before answering me?\' Tristan complained to himself. He averted his gaze back to the road, feeling upset.
Unknown to Tristan, Zhen-Zhen was not thinking about who was more handsome between them but instead, she was trying to figure out his action a while ago and the reason why he was suddenly asking her this with his moody expression.
\'Wait… is my husband feeling jealous right now?\' Zhen-Zhen\'s eyes lit up with that realization. She glanced at Tristan again, assessing his expression.
After a few seconds, Zhen-Zhen\'s lips stretched out into a mischievous smile. Tristan was not able to see it because his eyes were fixed on the road, focusing on driving the car.
Because of the Book that she read a while ago, Zhen-Zhen got some idea about Tristan\'s jealousy. She suspected that he was jealous right now.
Then Zhen-Zhen decided to try what she had read in the book, the Devilish Assassin meets the Angelic Detective.
\'I think I should try to tease Tristan more, just like how Elle teased Erick every time he is jealous.\' Zhen-Zhen\'s eyes sparkled with excitement. She wanted to see how Tristan would react.
"Hubby, you are handsome."
Tristan smiled after hearing that however before he could rejoice Zhen-Zhen spoke up once again.
"But…"
Tristan reflexively glanced at her when he heard that "but".
"But what?" Tristan was frowning once again.
Zhen-Zhen smiled at him sheepishly before continuing.
"Liam\'s emerald eyes, they are so attractive, Hubby. My classmates have a crush on him. They said he was gorgeous."
Zhen-Zhen started praising Liam in front of Tristan, wondering if this would make him more jealous.
Zhen-Zhen tried her best to hold her laughter after seeing Tristan\'s ugly expression. His face could no longer be painted. He looked away and brought his attention back to the road.
But Zhen-Zhen saw Tristan\'s gritting his teeth and clenching the steering wheel on his grip.
\'Oops, I didn\'t know it would work like magic. My hubby looked really upset now,\' Zhen-Zhen\'s lips twitched, fighting a smile. She was being playful right now.
"Why did you ask, Hubby?" Zhen-Zhen probed, feigning innocence.
"Nothing," Tristan responded. There was a hint of annoyance and bitterness in his voice.
Zhen-Zhen bit her lower lip so that she could restrain herself from laughing. Tristan\'s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot already.
Tristan became silent again. He tried not to look in Zhen-Zhen\'s direction. He was mad and upset. He was jealous… very jealous.
"Hubby, are you okay?" Zhen-Zhen asked him again with her innocent voice.
"I\'m fine." Tristan plainly said. But his answer was opposite to his expression right now.
"Hubby…"
"What?"
"Are you jealous?"
Tristan stepped on the break after hearing that question. He turned to his side only to see her smiling from ear to ear. Her clear blue eyes were gleaming with humor.
"Hubby, are you jealous of Liam?" Zhen-Zhen asked him the question again.
"No, I\'m not!" Tristan denied it.
"Really? You\'re not lying, hubby?" Zhen-Zhen was now grinning widely in her seat.
Tristan squinted his eyes at her. \'Wait, did she just tell me those things to intentionally make me jealous?\' Tristan pondered at that thought while watching Zhen-Zhen\'s sweet and charming smile.
"Zhen-Zhen, what is the meaning of this?" Tristan asked her with disbelief.
Zhen-Zhen let out a soft giggle. Her laughter bubbled up inside the car. Tristan\'s frown deepened when Zhen-Zhen started laughing.
"Answer me first. Are you jealous, hubby?"
Tristan lifted his eyebrow and said, "Did you intentionally make me jealous, wifey?"
Zhen-Zhen chewed her lower lip before shaking her head. She won\'t admit it.
Tristan sighed helplessly. "Yes, you win. I am jealous… super jealous. Why are you doing this to me wifey?" Tristan complained to her.
Zhen-Zhen moved closer to Tristan, patting his head.
"Hubby, don\'t be mad. I am just teasing you. You are so cute when you are jealous. Do you know that?" The smile on her face never left her face.
"I knew it. You did it on purpose," Tristan said, pouting his lips.
Zhen-Zhen giggled once again. "I just wanted to know how you would react."
Tristan\'s eyes widened in disbelief. \'When did she learn to become playful like this?\'
"Hmm, so are you satisfied with the outcome?" Tristan asked her, still wearing a serious expression on his face.
Zhen-Zhen bobbed her head frantically as a response.
"Oh, sorry to disappoint you, Wifey. But this is not the way I react when I\'m jealous. Do you really want to see it?" Tristan was now challenging Zhen-Zhen.
"Yes." Zhen-Zhen promptly responded.
This time it was Tristan\'s turn to smirk mischievously at her. Without further ado, Tristan started driving the car again but he suddenly made a U-turn. He was supposed to fetch FaMo in the company but he suddenly changed their route.
"Alright, I will let you see it once we are at home," Tristan mumbled to Zhen-Zhen meaningfully.
Zhen-Zhen just looked at Tristan confusedly. \'Why do I suddenly become nervous about this?\' Zhen-Zhen thought to herself after seeing Tristan\'s wolfish grin.
