Chapter 253 - Drank A Mouthful Of Vinegar
Upon arriving at the University of Imperial Knight, Tristan saw Zhen-Zhen sitting on one of the benches near the entrance gate. She was not alone. Someone was also there, sitting on the opposite side of her.
He parked the car and stepped out of it to approach them. Tristan frowned the moment he recognized the person who was in front of Zhen-Zhen.
'Eh? Him again? He's the proctor we stumbled in this school during Zhen-Zhen's examination.' Tristan thought to himself.
He could see that the two of them were talking about something. Tristan's face darkened when he saw Liam laughing as if Zhen-Zhen and he were having fun with their conversation.
"Damn! Why is he smiling like that in front of my wife? Is he trying to hit on my wife?" Tristan murmured to himself with his contorted face.
He admitted that Liam was a very gorgeous man as well. Any woman would fall to his charming smile. Because of that thought, Tristan walked faster with long strides to reach their spot quickly.
It did not take long when Liam extended his hand in front of Zhen-Zhen. She smiled brightly at him before accepting his hand and shaking it.
'Argh! Don't touch my wife!' Tristan complained inwardly.
Soon, Tristan had reached their spot. He immediately snatched Zhen-Zhen's hand away from Liam's grasp. Dejavu? Liam and Zhen-Zhen were once again interrupted by Tristan.
They were both surprised to see him.
"Tristan…" Zhen-Zhen called him out. Her face brightened up the moment she saw him.
"Mr. Davis, we meet again." Liam greeted him politely with his friendly smile.
Tristan didn't respond to Liam. He somehow ignored him because he was now staring at Zhen-Zhen, pouting his lips.
"Hubby… it's hubby! Don't call me by my first name, wifey. How many times do I have to tell you that?" Tristan looked like a child having a tantrum right now.
Zhen-Zhen: "..."
Liam: "..."
Clueless that someone had drunk a mouthful of vinegar right now, Zhen-Zhen just smiled at Tristan while saying, "Yes, hubby."
Not yet satisfied, Tristan opened his arms wide before Zhen-Zhen.
"Come here, wifey. Give your hubby a warm hug," Tristan shamelessly asked Zhen-Zhen, disregarding Liam's presence.
Liam's brows slightly twitched. He didn't know what and how to react in this situation. He was aware that Tristan was intentionally ignoring him. He was talking to his wife as if Liam was not there.
'Eh, is he planning to feed me some dog food here?' Liam thought to himself. He didn't know that this could be so awkward.
Zhen-Zhen, on the other hand, remained standing on her spot. She didn't know why Tristan was acting like this. She darted her gaze between Liam and Tristan.
She was a little bit reluctant to do it in front of Liam. Because she also learned that public display of affection might be uncomfortable for other people.
She wondered if Liam would also feel uncomfortable once they acted lovey-dovey in front of him. She was a little bit embarrassed just thinking about that. She was considerate about what Liam would feel.
However, looking at Tristan's right now, Zhen-Zhen didn't have the heart to refuse him. So after contemplating for a few seconds, Zhen-Zhen yielded to his request, throwing herself into Tristan's arms and hugging him.
Tristan engulfed Zhen-Zhen into a warm embrace. He was stroking Zhen-Zhen's hair as he glanced at Liam while wearing his victorious smile.
'See, this is my wife. MY WIFE. She's only mine. She's off-limits so back off.' Tristan was looking at Liam meaningfully.
Liam just kept his cool, maintaining his calm composure while watching the husband and wife. He knew what Tristan was trying to do here.
'Hmm, this guy… what an interesting fellow.' Liam's lips curled up into a faint smile.
Tristan frowned when he saw Liam's smile. He felt like there was something behind that smile. Tristan couldn't tell if Liam got his warning or message. Or maybe, Liam didn't care about it at all.
What if Liam would try to get his wife's attention? Liam's look was not inferior to him. He had a unique charm as well. He could easily woo a girl and let her fall for him with his sex appeal.
For the first time in his life, Tristan felt insecure about himself. He had a bad reputation. What if Zhen-Zhen would get tired of him and choose a better man like Liam? Tristan felt threatened because of that.
'Argh! I won't let that happen.' Tristan's grip on Zhen-Zhen's body tightened.
Liam knew that he had to go now and have the couple their privacy. He cleared his throat to catch Tristan's and Zhen-Zhen's attention.
*Cough* *Cough*
"Ahem, Nice to see you again, Mr. and Mrs. Davis. I still have something to do so I have to run now," Liam said to them, bidding his goodbye.
Zhen-Zhen and Tristan broke the hug and averted their gaze to Liam.
Zhen-Zhen just nodded at him with a smile.
"Nice seeing you too," Tristan plainly responded to him.
Liam smiled at the couple one last time before he turned around, leaving them. When Liam was gone, Tristan asked Zhen-Zhen. He was still holding her waist.
"Why is he here? What did you two talk about a while ago?" Tristan sounded like he was interrogating Zhen-Zhen.
"Liam is a professor here. He is our History Professor. He congratulated me for passing the Educational Placement Examination."
"Argh! Do you have a History Class?! I don't think you need to attend that class. What happened to the curriculum now?! Why do students from the photography course still need to attend History Class??!" Tristan said exasperatedly.
He was just spouting things like this because he was jealous and threatened. He was aware that all students there had History Class.
"Don't come to his class. I can teach you History, wifey," Tristan added. He's now becoming unreasonable.
Zhen-Zhen just gazed at him, blinking her eyes in confusion. "I don't want to miss classes, hubby. I have to attend, Liam's class."
Tristan frowned and pouted after hearing that. "Fine! You can attend his class. But call him Sir Liam, not Liam."
Zhen-Zhen: "..."
