Chapter 68 - The One Who Has The Right To Kiss You
'Did Andrew touch her?' He wanted to go wild at that mere thought.
Tristan quickly approached Zhen-Zhen while grabbing the blanket on the bed. He wrapped her body using the blanket and carried her in his arms.
He knew he shouldn't have punched Andrew because in the first place he was the one who created this mess. He was the one who made that stupid wish.
But his anger clouded his mind. He just felt like beating Andrew after seeing him on top of Zhen-Zhen. He was gripping both her hands and their faces were very close as if they were about to kiss. That's the reason why Tristan was not able to control himself from punching Andrew.
Without thinking twice, Tristan decided to leave Andrew's room and get Zhen-Zhen far away from Andrew. He carried her in his arms, one arm around her back and the other arm around the bend in her knees.
Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen placed her own arms around Tristan's shoulders while looking at him intently. She was assessing Tristan's expression.
Zhen-Zhen remained silent as she was afraid to make Tristan more upset. He looked very mad as of this moment. She was wondering if she did another mistake.
On the other hand, Andrew massaged his jaw and wiped the blood in the right corner of his lips. Tristan really gave him a hard punch. Andrew's expression was also dark like the bottom of a pot.
He couldn't believe that Tristan had the audacity to hit him after what he had done. He was the instigator of this. Why suddenly it looked like it was his fault now, instead of Tristan? He should be the one getting mad at him, not the other way around.
Before Tristan and Zhen-Zhen could leave his room, Andrew held Tristan's elbow to stop him.
"What is the meaning of this, Tristan?" Andrew confronted him.
Andrew called him using his first name. This only meant that Andrew was really upset with Tristan right now. Andrew would always call him brother, but not this time.
Tristan halted on his steps. His rage didn't go down yet so to avoid getting into a fight with Andrew he wanted to leave that place as soon as possible. So he hated it when Andrew stopped him.
"This is just a big mistake. Let's talk some other time. Go to the Oceaniz City Medical Hospital now. Hannah is admitted there tonight." Tristan informed Andrew while trying his best to calm himself down.
Andrew was dumbfounded for a moment after hearing that. Then later on the shock was replaced by worry and deep concern for Hannah. He had no idea what happened to her.
Andrew released Tristan's elbow as he dashed towards the closet in order to put some clothes on. He needed to go to the hospital right away and find out what happened to Hannah.
After informing Andrew, Tristan immediately went out of his suite, still carrying Zhen-Zhen whose body was wrapped by the blanket.
Fortunately, it was already late at night so the majority of the hotel guests were already resting, or else they would wonder what happened once they saw a man carrying a woman who was wrapped by a blanket like she was like a mummy.
Upon reaching their room, Tristan finally put her down.
"Go and put some clothes on." Tristan said firmly.
Zhen-Zhen could only bite her lips seeing Tristan's ugly expression. She felt like crying.
'Did I do something wrong again? Is Hannah's situation not yet good that's why he looks mad right now?' She pondered to herself.
Tristan was about to leave the room but Zhen-Zhen immediately grabbed his right arm.
"Tristan? A-Are you mad at me?" Her voice sounded very anxious.
When Tristan glanced at her, he saw her sad and troubled expression. Zhen-Zhen's face crumpled, tears welled up in her eyes and threatened to fall.
Seeing that, Tristan felt alarmed. He didn't want her to cry.
'D@mn! I really messed up big this time. Stupid Tristan.' He scolded himself once again.
"No! No! Zhen-Zhen, I am not mad at you. Did I scare you? I'm sorry. Honestly, I am furious at myself right now, not you." Tristan promptly said to her, trying to console her.
Zhen-Zhen lowered her gaze and said, "I should be the one apologizing to you. Hannah was hurt because of me. I made you worry too much about her a while ago."
"But believe me Tristan, I don't have any intention to harm her. She's your best friend and I care about her too," Zhen-Zhen added, sharing her thoughts with Tristan.
Tristan's expression finally softened. He held her shoulders and said, "Yes, Zhen-Zhen. I believe you. It's not your fault. You have no idea about Hannah's allergy. Don't blame yourself. I am not blaming you."
Zhen-Zhen felt a little bit better upon hearing Tristan's words.
"Tristan… about Andrew. I'm sorry I couldn't do it. I want to fulfil your wish but I guess I failed." Zhen-Zhen apologized to him once again.
Tristan looked at her helplessly. 'Why are you so obedient to me? I think I made a big mistake of telling her to follow everything I said. She's so innocent. I'm really a bad person for asking her to do that.' Tristan started to regret it.
Tristan pulled Zhen-Zhen closer, trapping her into his arms. He hugged her tightly while stroking her hair.
"Did Andrew touch you?" That's what he was dying to know.
Tristan felt Zhen-Zhen's head move from left to right on his chest. She was shaking her head. That meant she was saying "No".
Tristan heaved a sigh of relief because of that. Luckily, He came on time and not too late. But he was still curious about what happened between them. He couldn't get that scene out of his mind.
"Did he kiss you?" Tristan asked her again curiously.
He received the same response from her. She shook her head once again, signifying a 'No' answer.
Tristan was overjoyed and felt very glad after hearing that. Zhen-Zhen wouldn't lie at him so he knew that nothing happened between Andrew and Zhen-Zhen, not even a kiss. That was really a closed call.
"What happened Zhen-Zhen? Why is it Andrew was pinning you down on the bed a while ago?" Tristan wanted a detailed answer coming from her so he released her from his embrace.
"I came to his room using Hannah's keycard. I saw him standing inside the bedroom. He just got out of the bathroom. He asked me if I was lost and why I was there. I said I came to see him." Zhen-Zhen began to tell Tristan what happened.
"Then I approached him, moving closer to him. I started to strip my clothes in front of him. When I removed my dress I moved closer to touch him but he moved backward, keeping his distance away from me. Then he stumbled and fell on the bed, accidentally pulling me in the process."
Tristan didn't interrupt her. He wanted to hear everything so he just kept quiet while letting Zhen-Zhen do the talking.
'So, Andrew tried his best to fight Zhen-Zhen's temptation because he moved away from her instead of taking advantage of her.' Tristan thought to himself.
'D@mn! I think I owe him an apology. I punched him really hard.' Tristan facepalmed at that thought.
Zhen-Zhen continued…
"I was about to kiss him."
Tristan's eyes widened and reacted immediately after hearing that.
"Huh? So what happened? You said he didn't kiss you. So are you telling me now that you were the one who kissed him?" Tristan said exasperatedly, thus interrupting Zhen-Zhen.
Zhen-Zhen shook her head and said. "No, I didn't."
Tristan felt relieved once again.
"I couldn't kiss him… because he's not you."
Silence… there was a moment of silence after Zhen-Zhen told him that. Tristan was now looking at her with mixed emotions. He didn't expect to hear that from her.
His heart skipped a beat. And now it was racing rapidly. He felt like there were butterflies in his stomach as her last words kept replaying on his mind.
{ "I couldn't kiss him… because he's not you." }
{ ...because he's not you. }
Zhen-Zhen who was oblivious of what was happening on Tristan as of this moment just continued talking.
"So I just lay down on the bed beside Andrew. He got up and held me down asking me a question about the reason why I did that. I think he didn't like what I did to him. I said uhm-" Zhen-Zhen was not able to finish her sentence.
Her next words were already swallowed up by Tristan's mouth. He suddenly claimed her lips, kissing her passionately.
Zhen-Zhen was taken aback for a moment. But after she recovered, she started responding to his kiss. Tristan just released her lips when it was time to catch their breath.
After that, he rested his forehead on hers while caressing her face.
"That's good Zhen-Zhen. I will be your husband so what you did was right. You are not supposed to kiss anyone aside from me. From now on, I am the only one who has the right to kiss you. Don't let other guys do that. If someone will try to kiss you by using force then don't hesitate to use your power to stop him."
"That's my first wish, Zhen-Zhen. Please forget about the ridiculous wish I made when I was drunk. It was not a valid wish because I was drunk at that time and I was not on my right mind. You don't have to seduce my brother anymore. Please forget it."
