The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

Chapter 48 - Relaying The Message



Tristan and Matthew were in the middle of their discussion about Zhen-Zhen entering a college when suddenly Tristan received a call from his grandpa.

"Speaking of the devil," Tristan mumbled, showing his phone to Matthew before he answered the call.

"Matt, you can accompany Lillie in the living room. I'll follow after talking to grandpa."

Matthew just nodded at him. He silently left Tristan's study as he proceeded to the living room where Zhen-Zhen and FaMo were having their snacks.

"Hello, Grandpa?" Tristan greeted his grandfather politely.

"Why is it you didn't come back to the company this afternoon? Don't tell me you went out to warm a woman's bed once again?! Is this the right conduct and behavior of the CEO of Heavenly Star Enterprise?" Grandpa Lu immediately ranted on him as soon as Tristan finished greeting him.

Tristan distanced the phone away from his ear because of Grandpa Lu's yelling. He picked his right ear first before bringing the phone back to it.

"Grandpa, I thought you wanted me to find a wife? Why are you getting mad right now? Besides, I asked Matthew to tell you that I am preparing for the upcoming business trip in which you proposed to me just this morning. I am not warming anyone's bed." Tristan said, defending himself.

'I was just accompanying your future granddaughter-in-law because she didn't want me to leave.' He wanted to add but he just kept it with himself.

He wanted to surprise his grandpa, that's why he didn't want to mention Zhen-Zhen yet. He wondered what would be Grandpa Lu's reaction once he introduced Zhen-Zhen as his wife.

'Hmm. I think he will like her.'

Grandpa Lu had calmed down a little bit after hearing Tristan's words.

"So you are really considering getting married now so that you can't lose your CEO position. Is this your final choice?" Grandpa Lu happily said.

Grandpa Lu's mood seemed to improve as he was no longer raising his voice at Tristan.

'D@mn! This old man is really determined to marry me off. His mood changed immediately after I mentioned that I was searching for a suitable wife.' Tristan said, lifting an eyebrow.

"Hmm. Grandpa, just wait. You gave me a month, remember? I haven't decided yet." Tristan lied. 

He already decided one thing. He would marry Zhen-Zhen so that he wouldn't lose his CEO position to his half brother.

"Alright. I hope you can decide already before the announcement of Hannah and Andrew's engagement to the public. Our family will hold a party for that special occasion in the second week of next month. Be ready for it." Grandpa Lu was giving Tristan a heads up so that he could prepare his poor heart.

Grandpa Lu's had brought up Tristan's forbidden spot in his heart once again. He couldn't help it. Hannah and Andrew's relationship could still bother him a lot.

"I know, Grandpa! I gotta go now. Let's talk again in the company. Bye, Grandpa!." Tristan said, shoving his grandpa off.

"You brat-" Grandpa Lu still had something to say but after realizing how Tristan felt right now, he could only heave a deep sigh.

"Alright. Just make sure to come to the company tomorrow. Don't be late nor be absent!" Grandpa Lu said before hanging up the phone.

Meanwhile, Matthew had already arrived in the living room and joined Zhen-Zhen. She invited him to eat with them. Matthew sat down beside her.

"Where's Tristan? What is he doing?" Zhen-Zhen immediately asked Matthew when she didn't see Tristan.

"He's still in his study, talking to his grandfather over the phone," Matthew answered her with a smile.

At the mention of the phone, Zhen-Zhen remembered the phone call with Vanessa.

"Oh Matt, did Tristan tell you that a girl called his phone this afternoon while looking for you? I didn't know you have another name." Zhen-Zhen told him that made Matthew wonder.

'A girl looking for me? Huh? What Lillie was talking about? If someone is looking for me, he or she could directly call me instead of Tristan. And what does she mean I have another name?'

Matthew looked at her with confusion. "No, Tristan didn't tell me about it yet."

Matthew frowned. He was getting suspicious about this. 'Did Tristan make up some lie?'

"What do you mean about saying I have another name?" Matthew asked her curiously.

"Babe… she called you Babe." 

Upon hearing that Matthew's frown deepened as he confirmed his suspicion.

'D@mn you Tristan! Did he just use me as a scapegoat?'

That was the moment Tristan also joined him. When he arrived Matthew was already giving him a sharp glare.

 'Why Matthew was looking at me like that?' Tristan pondered to himself.

Zhen-Zhen smiled and called Tristan after she saw him.

"Tristan, come here. I am just telling Matthew about the girl who called this afternoon."

Tristan smiled sheepishly at Matthew. Now, he could understand why he was looking daggers at him. He just found out that Tristan used his name to cover up his relationship with Vanessa.

Tristan just gave Matthew an apologetic and pleading look, asking him to cooperate with him. Matthew just rolled his eyes and sighed deeply. He had no choice but to cooperate.

When Tristan sat down with them, Zhen-Zhen continued telling them about the phone conversation she had with Vanessa.

"Matt, do you want me to tell you what she said a while ago? I could remember everything." Zhen-Zhen stated cheerfully.

The two men just exchanged glances with one another. They were both curious about what Vanessa and Zhen-Zhen had talked about. With that, Matthew just nodded at her, signifying that he wanted to hear it.

Getting his go signal, Zhen-Zhen began to share with the two men everything she heard from that phone call as if she was a recording machine, replaying Vanessa's every word.

"These are what she said…"

Tristan and Matthew were all ears on her.

Zhen-Zhen: "Hello Babe, I miss you so much!"

She said that with having the same enthusiasm when Vanessa said those words. Matthew narrowed his eyes at Tristan while Tristan ignored Matthew's glare, feigning innocence.

Zhen-Zhen continued…

"I'm glad you answered the phone. Don't worry, Babe. You don't have to speak. Just listen to me. I know you are in front of the other directors of your company."

The two men looked at her with amusement as she was telling them everything words by words as if Vanessa was the one talking in front of them now.

"Babe, do you know where am I and what I am doing now? I am here in my room… alone while thinking of you."

For that third statement, Matthew's face darkened more while Tristan was enduring the sharp gaze Matthew was giving him. If just one look could kill then Tristan would already be dead by now.

Zhen-Zhen: "Uhm, Babe... I am only wearing the set of red lacy lingerie you sent me two weeks ago."

"Uhmmm, I'm going to remove my underwear now… starting with my bra… going down to my panties… Babe… I am not wearing anything now. Guess what I am about to do."

The two men froze on their seats with their eyes and mouth wide open as Zhen-Zhen said those words mimicking Vanessa's seductive tone. The room temperature suddenly increased to several degrees.

Because they were still in that baffled state, no one between them initiated to stop Zhen-Zhen for her next words.

"My soft little hands are touching my sensitive parts now. The one you like most… Aah… Aah. Oh, Babe… I am imagining that you are the one touching me now, rubbing my skin with your hot expert hands. Uhmm… Aah."

Matthew:"..."

Tristan:"..."

FaMo: "Meow! Meow!"
