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

'I should be the one who should be mad because of Grandpa's sneaky move. But why is it Grandpa is the one who looks like a tiger ready to devour me?' Tristan pondered at that thought as he continued watching Grandpa Lu's frightening expression.

"Grandpa, you know that I'm not dumb," Tristan made a side comment.

Grandpa Lu shot him a sharp glare and said, "Stop talking and just listen to me, you brat!"

Tristan automatically closed his mouth when he heard Grandpa Lu's angry voice. His grandpa just transformed into a scary monster once again.

'I feel like calling Zhen-Zhen here so that she would see this. I don't think Grandpa will dare act scary like this if my wife is here. Wifey, SOS! I need your charm to calm a grumpy old man down.'

"It appears to me that my grandson is so dumb that he doesn't know the basic role of a husband and wife in a marriage life." Grandpa Lu said, lifting an eyebrow.

Tristan couldn't help but frown. 'Eh? What is grandpa talking about?'

"How dare you tell Lillie that a wife is the one who always listens to her husband and follows his every wish and request just to make him happy??!" 

Tristan: "..."

Tristan was at a loss for words. He didn't expect that Grandpa Lu would be able to know that. He knew it. His grandpa talked to Zhen-Zhen and probably asked a lot of questions.

Suddenly, Tristan became uneasy and restless in his seat. He knew that Zhen-Zhen was very honest. She probably answered every question by his grandpa. 

He didn't know what other things Zhen-Zhen had told Grandpa Lu. He had a bad feeling about this. He was worried about what Grandpa Lu and Zhen-Zhen had talked about.

'Grandpa is really a sly and sneaky fellow! I didn't anticipate this, that's why I was not able to warn Zhen-Zhen.'

Grandpa Lu continued to reprimand his grandson.

"A wife is not a slave, Tristan! The husband should be the one treating his wife very well. The husband should satisfy his wife's needs. Did you not hear the saying 'Happy wife, happy life!'. For goodness's sake, Tristan, be a man! Be a gentleman to your wife, not a bastard!"

Tristan: "..."

"Treat her like a princess… pamper her just like how I pamper your grandma. Do you think your grandma would be happy if she learned that you said those things to your wife?"

"If you don't treat Lillie well and just take her for granted then sooner or later you will lose her. She's a beautiful woman, so kind and sweet, pure and innocent."

"Many men will try to get her and steal her from you! They will be crazy over your wife. Do you understand what I'm saying? Because if not then you are really dumb!"

"You even asked her to seduce your brother! Don't you see her value yet? Do you want to lose her? Can you bear to see Lillie with another man who is not you?"

Bullseye! Savage! Grandpa Lu just hit Tristan's heart after saying those words. 100 points for Grandpa Lu. Zero for Tristan.

Grandpa Lu's last sentence struck him the most. Could he bear to see Zhen-Zhen together with another man? 

For an unknown reason, just imagining it made his heart constricted inside his chest. It seemed like his heart was being squeezed and he felt suffocated. Unknowingly, he balled his hands into fists.

At that certain moment, he knew the answer. He couldn't! He wouldn't be able to bear it, seeing Zhen-Zhen with another guy. He would go nuts from both anger and jealousy.

"I'm her husband. She's mine, Grandpa! I will not let her be with other men." Tristan suddenly blurted out with so much conviction.

Grandpa Lu smirked after hearing that. He was satisfied with Tristan's answer. He could see the possessive behavior of his grandson towards Lillie.

"Good. Then I will take back my words that you are dumb. At least, you know her worth. So you must cherish her if you don't want to lose her. Make her happy. Don't hurt her feelings." Grandpa Lu paused for a moment, glancing at Tristan meaningfully.

"One more thing, grandson. Don't break her trust. I know there's something you are not telling her yet."

Tristan was taken aback when he heard that. He met Grandpa Lu's eyes. This time Grandpa Lu didn't look angry. His expression softened while eyeing his grandson with concern.

"Be honest with her. Tell her more about yourself. You could not undo your past deeds but you can show her that you are a changed man now."

Tristan knew that his grandfather was referring to his scandal and bad reputation with women. His grandpa was clearly advising him to confess with Zhen-Zhen and tell her about those negative things he had done in the past.

Tristan clenched his fists as he looked down. He didn't know if he had the courage to do that now. He was not yet ready. He was afraid.

He had an awareness that he was the complete opposite of Zhen-Zhen. She was so pure and innocent, unlike him who was already tainted.

Meanwhile, Grandpa Lu could see the troubled face of his grandson. He knew that Tristan was having conflicting thoughts right now. Grandpa Lu didn't say a word. He just let him think for a while.

After his long silence, Tristan finally spoke up.

"Grandpa, I understand what you are trying to say, or what you want me to do. I really appreciate that you didn't tell her yet."

"Because you should be the one who must tell her. She has to hear it from you, not from other people." Grandpa Lu promptly responded.

Tristan nodded his head at him. "I know, grandpa. It's just that I couldn't find my courage yet. Can you give me more time? I promise. I will tell her myself. But not now." Tristan reassured his grandpa.

"I still need time to figure out how I can explain everything to her so that she would understand it. I don't want her to change once she learns about this."

Grandpa Lu bobbed his head before saying, "I understand your fear. But don't take too much time. The sooner you tell her, the better."
