Zhen-Zhen was in a good mood because Tristan would let her accompany him during his out of town business trip. She was really looking forward to their travel together. The two of them were now sitting in the living room.
“Tristan, Is Oceaniz City very far from here?” she asked him, her eyes filled with so much interest.
“Yeah. We can go there using three ways. What do you prefer- we travel by land, by sea or by air?” Tristan consulted her out of the blue.
“What’s the difference between the three?” Zhen-Zhen probed, before giving him an answer.
“We will use my car if we will travel by land. However, it will take 12 hours to reach our destination. Then, if we travel by sea, we have to ride a ferry boat. The journey will last for about 4 hours. On the other hand, if we travel by air, we will use an airplane. We will arrive at our destination after half an hour.”
“Hmm, got it. I already experienced traveling using your car. I want to try another mode of transportation. So I will have to choose between a ferry boat or an airplane.”
Zhen-Zhen paused for a moment, contemplating what she would choose between the two. Tristan was just silently waiting for her response.
“Hmm… Since I love the sky, I want to try the airplane.”
“Okay! I’ll book two plane tickets right away. I will let you experience the First Class Flight. Zhen-Zhen, people here can fly even without superpowers. That’s the power of technology and human inventions.” Tristan said proudly, bragging at Zhen-Zhen.
“Tristan, can we bring FaMo with us?” She asked him, remembering FaMo.
‘Eh? She wants to bring FaMo, her cat!? Wow… I am starting to get jealous. She became attached to that cat right away! Hmmph’
But seeing her pleading look, Tristan couldn’t refuse her.
He took a deep sigh and said, “Alright, I will ask Matthew to get a travel permit for FaMo. We will also bring your pet with us.”
Zhen-Zhen clapped her hands, feeling grateful and happy. Tristan also allowed FaMo to come with them.
“Thank you, Tristan! You are very kind to me and FaMo.”
Tristan pinched her cheeks. “No need to thank me. I’ll do anything for my Zhen-Zhen, my future wife.”
Now, Zhen-Zhen couldn’t help but smile because Tristan was very generous and sweet. He was treating her so well, including FaMo.
They continued taking a nap when Tristan received a call from Matthew.
Matthew: “Sir, I am back in the office. Where are you? I heard that the Chairman was upset when you suddenly left during lunch break.”
Tristan: “Oh, never mind Grandpa. Nothing new! He is always upset when it comes to me. Hahaha. Anyway, I’m here at my place right now. I’m going back after a while.”
Then Tristan turned to Zhen-Zhen who was sitting beside him. When she heard that Tristan was leaving again, Zhen-Zhen pouted her lips. Tristan chuckled after seeing her reaction so he took back his words.
Tristan: “Oh Matt. I changed my mind. I’m not coming back to the office today. Just tell grandpa I am preparing for my Out of Town Trip. Update me if there’s an urgent matter in the office.”
Matthew: “Ok Sir. Noted.”
After that, Tristan hung up the phone. When he moved his gaze back to Zhen-Zhen, she was already smiling from ear to ear as if she had won a lottery.
‘D@mn! Zhen-Zhen has a unique way of making me do something willingly just to satisfy her.’ Tristan shook his head helplessly.
Afterward, the two of them just resumed watching movies on the television. FaMo got bored staying at Zhen-Zhen’s room so he went out to join them.
He lay down on Zhen-Zhen’s lap while facing the television. The three of them were engrossed in watching the film when Tristan’s phone rang once again.
This time it was a call from one of his flings. Her name was Vanessa, a rising female actress of today’s generation.
Tristan frowned upon seeing her Caller I.D. He had no interest in entertaining any woman today except Zhen-Zhen. He ignored the call. But Vanessa kept on calling him.
To make her stop, Tristan grabbed his phone and sent her a message.
[ Vanz, I can’t answer your call. I am currently having an important meeting with the directors and management. I’ll call you back when I’m free. ]
After sending the message, Tristan placed his phone on the table in front of them. That’s when he realized he was still wearing his corporate suit.
Tristan stood up but he stopped when he felt Zhen-Zhen’s arm grabbing his elbow.
“Tristan, are you leaving?” She asked him anxiously.
He let out a soft chuckle.
“No, I’m not. I’m just gonna go and change my clothes.”
“Hmm, okay.” Zhen-Zhen released his elbow.
Tristan headed straight into his wardrobe. When he left, his phone rang once again. Vanessa didn’t stop calling him. What a very persistent girl!?
Tristan was not able to read her last message since he already went to his room to change his clothes.
Her message was: [ Babe, use your headset and answer my call. You don’t have to speak. I will do the talking. Just listen to me.❤ ^^,) ]
There were a heart emoji and a winking emoji at the end of her message. It seemed like she was up to something.
The ringing of Tristan’s phone continued. FaMo couldn’t concentrate on the film because of the loud ringtone of Tristan’s phone. Unknowingly, FaMo got addicted to watching dramas on the television just like Zhen-Zhen.
FaMo nudged Zhen-Zhen’s hand and said, “Can you answer the call so that the ringtone will stop?”
After hearing FaMo’s request, Zhen-Zhen moved her gaze to Tristan’s phone that was placed on the table. Zhen-Zhen picked it up and pressed the answer button. Tristan had already taught her how to answer the call.
Out of curiosity, she brought the phone closer in her ear, trying to listen to the person on the other line.
Then after a few seconds, she heard the soft voice of a woman, speaking very sweetly.
“Hello Babe, I miss you so much!”
