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

Zhen-Zhen and Andrew started to walk, leaving Mark and Daniel in the hallway. They just watched their retreating back, shaking their head in disappointment before coming back inside the banquet hall.

Zhen-Zhen was silently following Andrew. But Andrew had one problem in mind, 'Where should he go now?'. He just lied a while ago. He didn't know where they could see Tristan and Hannah.

Andrew was still thinking about where to find them when Zhen-Zhen stopped on her track and called him out.

"Andrew…"

Andrew reflexively stopped when he heard her calling him. He turned around to face her.

"I think we are going the wrong way," Zhen-Zhen informed him.

Andrew was taken aback when he heard that. 'Did she know that I just lied?' Andrew pondered at that thought.

But Zhen-Zhen just gave him a faint smile. Andrew had no idea that Zhen-Zhen could sense Tristan's aura that's why she could tell where his exact location was as of now. She knew that they were in the Veranda in the opposite direction.

At first, she thought Andrew would turn in that direction when they passed by a while ago but Andrew continued walking straight ahead. So Zhen-Zhen decided to stop him and inform him that they were now going the wrong way.

"Why do you think so?" Andrew plainly asked her, trying his best to hide his embarrassment.

'Maybe Lillie knew where they are.' Andrew thought to himself.

"I think they are in the veranda right now," Zhen-Zhen said while pointing the direction of the veranda.

"Oh right… I didn't notice. Then let's go back there." Andrew simply said to her, feigning ignorance.

"Shall we go back there?" he added.

Zhen-Zhen just nodded her head. Andrew was about to step forward when he felt Zhen-Zhen's hand grabbing his elbow. He stopped once again and lowered his gaze, giving her a questioning look.

"Andrew, wait. There's something I want to tell you. Will you listen to me?" Zhen-Zhen said softly, eyeing Andrew expectantly.

Andrew paused for a moment, staring at Zhen-Zhen intently. After a while, he nodded his head. Zhen-Zhen released his arm and she started to speak up.

"It's about what happened in Oceaniz City. I want to apologize for my action. I just realized my mistake. I shouldn't have done that. I'm really sorry, Andrew."

Andrew was startled. He didn't expect her to apologize. He could see the sincerity in her eyes. She meant it.

"Please don't hate Tristan. It's not his fault. I just misunderstood everything. I took his words seriously even though he was drunk at that time. Please don't hate your brother. He didn't scheme against you and Hannah. He is a good man." Zhen-Zhen even defended Tristan.

Andrew just remained silent. He couldn't believe that this woman was hell-bent on defending Tristan. Andrew realized that Tristan was willing to take all the blame for this woman but at this moment, he could see that Lillie was also admitting her mistake and defending his brother.

'Why is she doing this? Is she not aware that her husband is in love with my fiancee? Is she that madly in love with Tristan that she can tolerate it?'

"I also want to apologize for what happened to Hannah. I had no idea she is allergic to furry animals. I didn't mean to harm her that night. Please forgive me. I also have to apologize to Hannah. I want to talk to her too." Zhen-Zhen said truthfully.

After Zhen-Zhen was done talking, there was a moment of silence between them. She was waiting for Andrew to say something.

Andrew was having conflicting thoughts right now. There was something he wanted to ask her.

"Lillie…" He called her out.

"Hmm?"

"Do you know that Tristan is in love with Hannah?" Andrew couldn't help himself but ask her. He wanted to know her answer.

Zhen-Zhen smiled timidly before nodding her head. "Yes, I know."

Andrew frowned after hearing that. "Then… why did you still marry Tristan?"

"Because I want to make him happy. I will help him move on." Her words were filled with honesty. There was a hint of determination in her voice. 

Andrew didn't know why but he felt jealous of Tristan. Someone like Lillie had a genuine concern for him. Lillie was truly devoted to Tristan. Unlike him, though he already had Hannah, he could still feel that he was still competing with Tristan in terms of Hannah's attention.

Though he was Hanna's fiancee, he could see that Hannah's attention was sometimes focused on her best friend, Tristan. Whenever they were together, Hannah would suddenly bring up and mention Tristan out of the blue.

He wished that Hannah would also be like Lillie who would always think of him, not other men, not even her best friend. Call him selfish or possessive, but that's what he wanted to the woman he loved… her complete devotion to him.

"Andrew? What's wrong?" Zhen-Zhen asked him as she noticed the saddened expression of Andrew.

Her voice pulled him out of his wandering thoughts. "I'm sorry about that. I'm just thinking about something."

"Are you still mad at me and Tristan? Are you not accepting my apology?" Zhen-Zhen couldn't help but feel anxious.

As much as possible, she didn't want Tristan and Andrew to have more conflicts. They were brothers. They should get along well, instead of fighting. That's why she wanted to clear the misunderstanding she created between those two brothers.

Zhen-Zhen was thinking that because of her action, Andrew might be thinking that Tristan really schemed against them and was trying to break Hannah and Andrew apart. She didn't want Andrew to hate Tristan because of that.

"You can get mad at me but please don't hate your brother, Tristan. After all, he is your family," Zhen-Zhen insisted once again.

After much thought, Andrew finally gave Zhen-Zhen an answer to her apology.

"Okay. I understand now. I think everything is just a misunderstanding. I accept your apology."

Zhen-Zhen's face brightened up after Andrew accepted her apology. "Thank you so much, Andrew!"

Andrew nodded his head with a faint smile. "Now, let's go and see them."
