Chapter 319 - The VIP Guests Arrived!
Tristan had no plan of letting her go soon if not for Grandpa Lu. Tristan's ringtone interrupted the husband and wife during their intimate moment inside the car.
Grandpa Lu kept on calling him. He wondered what took them so long to arrive at the venue. He said a while ago that they already reached the University of Imperial Knights.
Tristan was still kissing Zhen-Zhen when she stopped him. He groaned inwardly when she broke the kiss.
"Hubby, I think grandpa is already looking for us. We shouldn't let grandpa wait for too long," Zhen-Zhen told him, feeling worried at Grandpa Lu.
Tristan heaved a frustrated sigh before nodding his head. Zhen-Zhen couldn't help but giggle seeing the disappointed look of her husband.
They fixed themselves first before leaving the car. Zhen-Zhen wiped the lipstick's mark on Tristan's face and brushed his hair that became messy due to her tugging a while ago.
"There you go," Zhen-Zhen smiled sweetly after fixing Tristan's appearance. She caressed his face one last time.
Tristan also fixed her looks and her dress. He almost ripped her dress because of his burning desire for her. He was losing his control and wanted to take her there. Fortunately, he was able to restrain himself from doing it.
"See you later, wifey," Tristan felt like crying. He was already missing her.
Zhen-Zhen just nodded her head with a gentle smile on her face. Then she stepped out of the car first going to the venue. Tristan just watched her back until she vanished from his sight.
Upon arriving at the entrance, Zhen-Zhen saw Alicia and Betsy. It seemed like they were waiting for her.
"Lillie, finally you arrived!" Alicia greeted her cheerfully. Unlike Zhen-Zhen, Alicia and Betsy were wearing black cocktail dresses.
Zhen-Zhen greeted them back with a smile. "Are you waiting for me?"
Betsy and Alicia exchanged meaningful glances with one another. The truth was they wanted to see if Zhen-Zhen would be accompanied tonight by her 'handsome relative' whom Alicia had a crush on. But, to their disappointment, Zhen-Zhen just came alone.
"Yes, Lillie. We are waiting for you. This is our first Acquaintance Party. Let's go and mark our attendance so that we can proceed inside the venue," Alicia said, trying her best to hide her disappointment.
When the three of them went to the registration table near the entrance, they met Athena, Jade, and the student council representative.
Zhen-Zhen recognized the student council representative right away. Her name was Mary. She's the one who gave her the orientation on her first day.
Zhen-Zhen greeted her politely. At first, she couldn't recognize her but her voice was very familiar to her. Zhen-Zhen introduced herself to her and that's the moment she remembered her as Lillie Meyer.
Mary was surprised to see her appearance. She was curious why suddenly her look was different from the appearance she had the first time they met.
'Why did she change her appearance? She's a beauty. Others want to appear beautiful in front of others but Lillie does the opposite. She chose to hide her real appearance, but why?' she pondered at that thought.
She wanted to ask Lillie but they were not alone at that time. So she decided to ask her next time. She was glad to see her again. Lillie stayed for a while, talking to Mary while Alicia and Betsy entered the venue already.
Meanwhile, the grandfather and grandson duo finally met. Matthew was with them. Grandpa Lu slightly scolded Tristan for being late.
"What took you so long? Where's my granddaughter?" Grandpa Lu peered at their surroundings, searching for Zhen-Zhen.
Tristan scratched his face while smiling sheepishly at his grandpa. "Sorry, Grandpa. We were stuck in traffic, that's why we came late."
Matthew secretly rolled his eyes at Tristan's lame excuse and lies. Grandpa Lu, on the other hand, raised his eyebrow, feeling doubtful of Tristan's excuse.
'Traffic my ass?! Did he forget that 20 minutes ago he already told me that they already arrived here?'
"Lillie went ahead grandpa. She might be in the venue now."
Grandpa Lu didn't want to waste his time scolding his grandson. He wanted to see Lillie right away so he let Tristan off this time. Grandpa Lu knew that his grandson was lying when he said about traffic.
But before they proceeded to the venue, Grandpa Lu didn't forget to remind Tristan.
"This is your wife's first Acquaintance Party so let her enjoy it. Beware of your action. No PDA tonight! Restrain yourself. Don't act very close to her, just act casually."
"Don't let others know that she's very close with us. Some people might take advantage of her once they learn she's connected to the Davis Family."
"Some people only care about power and influence. So they might target her just to get what they want from her and get close with our family."
"Some professors might give her special treatment once they know her identity. They will become biased. It might cause her trouble in the future. I don't want that to happen to my granddaughter." Grandpa Lu spoke spontaneously.
Tristan sighed deeply. He felt like a child being reminded by an elder. His grandpa really knew how to nag at him most of the time.
"Yes, grandpa. Trust me. I know what to do. I want my wife to have a peaceful life as a student here. I won't let others bother her," Tristan reassured his grandpa.
Matthew just tried his best to hold his laughter. He was doubtful whether Tristan would be able to do it or not.
Soon, the three of them headed to the venue. The usherettes were already waiting for them eagerly. Grandpa Lu's face brightened up upon seeing Lillie at the entrance. She's talking with the other ladies.
Mary also noticed their presence. "Oh, the VIP Guests are here!"
When they heard that, Athena, Jade and Zhen-Zhen looked in the direction of Grandpa Lu, Tristan and Matthew. They were now approaching them.
Athena leaned to Jade and whispered, "This is it. Good luck to us. We need to impress them."
