Chapter 19 - I Finally Found A Wife!
"Are you willing to be my wife… Zhen Zhen?" Tristan asked her with so much anticipation.
He didn't know why he suddenly asked her that. Those words just came out of his mouth naturally without much thought.
When he realized what he did Zhen Zhen was just looking at him clueless of what he had just said.
The moment of silence was making him feel awkward.
'D@mn… What the hell am I doing?' He began to regret asking her.
He was confused if he really meant that. The thought of Marriage was still giving him goosebumps and fright. His mind didn't change. Still, he didn't want to get married.
But why the hell he was asking her now to be his wife? He felt like he was going crazy. He couldn't think straight because of this young beautiful maiden.
On the other hand, Zhen Zhen's mesmerizing blue eyes blinked several times before she spoke up to him.
"Become your wife? What is that?" She asked him inquisitively, oblivious of the meaning of the word 'wife'.
Tristan: "..."
He was dumbfounded again by her innocent question.
'Dang! As expected, she also had no idea about the meaning of wife.'
Tristan scratched his face awkwardly. He didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
It was already considered a miracle, Tristan Davis (the certified Casanova) who hated the thought of being tied down with a woman in marriage had just asked a strange girl to be his wife. And the funny thing was, the girl had no idea what he was talking about.
However, at that certain moment, Tristan realized something that would give him great benefits. He wouldn't waste this golden opportunity that would save him from his troubles caused by his sly, wicked and scheming grandfather.
"Zhen Zhen listen to me carefully… Wife is a woman who will live together with a man who is called a husband." Tristan started to explain the basics.
Zhen Zhen just nodded at him, indicating that she understood him. Tristan smiled before he continued.
"And a wife is someone who follows everything that her husband will tell her and she always fulfills her husband's wishes. Someone who is very obedient, listening to him no matter what he says. She is willing to do anything just to make her husband happy."
In Tristan's mind, he was thinking that if he could make Zhen Zhen like that as his wife then he wouldn't worry about everything. He knew that she was different from other women who were greedy.
If he chose a wife among his women then he was aware that his carefree single life would be no more because she would try to own Tristan and limit his freedom. Women won't share their husbands with other women. They were territorial and possessive.
That's the basic rule of a married couple. Once she had a grasp on Tristan then she would never let go of him, ever. His women were aiming and wishing to be his lawful wife but too bad Tristan had only one woman in his heart. That person was Hannah.
Tristan was trying to outsmart his grandfather by making Zhen Zhen his wife so that he wouldn't lose his CEO position.
If Zhen Zhen became a very obedient wife to him then he could ask her any time whenever he wanted to divorce her. He was sure that she wouldn't argue or refuse him. Then he would be free once again. This was a win-win situation for him.
Furthermore, on Zhen Zhen's part, Tristan had a genuine intention of taking her out of this mountain. For him, there was a vast world for her to explore beyond this boundary. He wanted her to experience other things so that she would learn a lot.
"So… are you willing to be my wife? That's my only condition before I could teach you everything I know." Tristan asked her once again.
She brought her forefinger once again to her lips, touching and tracing her lower lip. She loved to do that whenever she was thinking.
'Mo-Mo and Fa-Fa, what if I couldn't find them? I don't want to be alone. If I become his wife, I will live with Tristan. I like it. I want to be with him. He's so kind to me. He is not afraid of me. He promised that he would teach me. I think I can do it. I will follow, listen, and obey him. I will also make him happy and fulfill his wish.'
With those thoughts in mind, Zhen Zhen's eyes brimmed with joy and excitement as she bobbed her head frantically.
"Tristan… I like it. I want to be your wife. I will listen to you always. I will try my best to fulfill your wish and do what you want. So teach me more. I want to learn more from you!"
Zhen Zhen finally gave him her answer. After listening to her, Tristan's eyes lit up and his lips curled up in a triumphant smile. He almost jumped from too much joy.
'D@mn you old man! Hahahaha. Wait for my return! I finally found my wife!' Tristan was rejoicing from that thought.
Then his gaze fell on Zhen Zhen's beautiful innocent face. He raised his hand and brought it to her head, gently patting and stroking her hair.
"Good decision Zhen Zhen. I will be your teacher and you will be my wife. Now let's continue searching for your parents. I will talk to them and persuade them so that they will allow you to be with me."
Zhen Zhen just nodded with a gentle smile on her face.
'D@mn! Here we go again with her mesmerizing smile. Argh! I want to taste those soft delicate lips once again!' Tristan mumbled to himself.
"Zhen Zhen, let's close our deal," Tristan said with a wide playful grin.
Before she could ask him what he meant by that, Tristan's lips already claimed her lips once again, sealing the deal with a passionate kiss.
