Chapter 43 The One Who Received The Surprise

As soon as Tristan left Heavenly Star Enterprise, he headed straight to his condo unit. He couldn't explain why but he felt the need to see Zhen-Zhen. He was in a hurry.

It only took a ten-minute drive to reach his place. He was excited to see her. He wanted to surprise her. Zhen-Zhen didn't know he was coming personally to deliver her lunch. He told her that he would send someone to deliver it.

Tristan was already standing in front of his main door, smiling brightly while holding the lunch box in his hand.

'I am sure she will be surprised once she sees me.' Tristan thought to himself.

He was about to press the doorbell when suddenly the door was opened and someone immediately pounced on him, hugging him tightly.

Tristan's heart almost jumped out of his chest as he was shocked by this sudden attack. But he calmed down immediately after smelling her familiar sweet scent. Then, he heard her cheerful voice.

"Tristan! You are back!"

He froze in his spot with his eyes wide open. He planned to surprise her but in the end, he was the one who received a pleasant surprise when Zhen-Zhen welcomed him with a warm hug.

'How did she know that I am here?' he couldn't help but ask himself.

After he recovered from the shock, Tristan gently stroked her hair and patted her back using his free hand.

"Yes, I'm back. I brought your lunch. We will eat lunch together." Tristan softly said to her.

Zhen-Zhen's grasp on Tristan's body tightened as she nuzzled her face on his neck.

"I feel lonely and bored without you here." She lamented to him pitifully.

"Hmm. Then why is it you didn't call me nor message me using the mobile phone that I gave you?" Tristan sounded a little bit upset when he said that.

Zhen-Zhen broke the hug first for her to see his face. She gazed up and said, "Because I don't want to disturb you. I know you are quite busy with your work."

'! How come she is very thoughtful like this? Unlike those women whom I dated before. Even though they knew I was busy dealing with company matters, they would still pester me, messaging and calling me non-stop. They were bugging me all day! If I didn't return their calls, they would throw a fit and giving me some attitudes!' He couldn't help but compare them to Zhen-Zhen.

'Zhen-Zhen was truly one of a kind. Though she's not pure human still she could act better than those women. I'm so lucky to meet her.' he added to his thoughts.

After thinking that, Tristan looked at her helplessly and asked curiously, "Why do you think so?"

"Hmm, I learned that people are often busy in their workplace after watching some K-dramas on the television. Especially those who have higher positions like you, the CEOs." Zhen-Zhen said matter-of-factly.

Tristan let out a husky laugh. She never failed to amuse him. He couldn't believe that Zhen-Zhen could make a decision based on the things she learned from watching those dramas.

"Oh, by the way, how did you know that the person outside was me?" He asked her with intrigue.

A radiant smile stretched across her lovely face, warming Tristan's heart.

"I sensed it… your aura. I was lying on my bed when I suddenly felt your presence, your familiar aura." She answered him truthfully.

'Oh, because of her extraordinary power. So how can I surprise her next time?' He looked problematic when he thought about that.

Tristan just scratched the back of his head.

"Alright, Let's go inside and take our lunch."

He grabbed her hand and led her inside. Since Tristan was holding both her hand and a lunch box, Zhen-Zhen was the one who closed the door behind them.

Bam!

They were walking towards the kitchen when Tristan stumbled into something soft. When he looked down he saw a chubby and fluffy black cat lying on the floor. His body reflexively leaped backward, distancing himself from the unfamiliar creature.

"Ahh! Where did this thing came from?!" He exclaimed from surprised.

Zhen-Zhen bit her lower lip after seeing the reaction of Tristan when he saw FaMo.

'Is he afraid of a cat?' She wondered to herself.

Zhen-Zhen immediately released Tristan's hand as she approached FaMo who was currently in his cat form. She already forbade him to speak when Tristan was around.

Tristan's eyes just followed her movement. He watched her as she bent down to carry the Black Cat. After that, Zhen-Zhen faced Tristan while hugging FaMo in her arms.

"Tristan, I would like you to meet FaMo, he's my friend… I mean my pet. He is so cute and adorable, isn't he?" She said to him enthusiastically. Her clear blue eyes were brimming with so much joy.

"Yeah, so cute and adorable," Tristan muttered absentmindedly. He was not referring to the cat but to Zhen-Zhen's charming smile.

"Is it okay if he will stay with us here? I promise I will take care of him and he will not give you any trouble." She asked his permission.

After hearing that, Tristan awakened from his dazed. He paused for a moment thinking. The truth was Tristan never tried to raise a pet since he was a kid. He did that not because he hated them nor he had an allergy, but because of Hannah.

Hannah was allergic to pets especially those furry animals. She almost lost her life before when she was exposed to those kinds of pets. Her allergy was severe and she was hospitalized for a month.

Since then, Tristan had sworn to himself never to raise any pets with fur. He always guarded Hannah and protected her against those furry animals. Until now, Tristan didn't like the idea of raising any pets.

And now, Zhen-Zhen was asking him pleadingly to raise this furry chubby black cat.

Will Tristan allow it?

A few minutes had already passed, but Tristan didn't give her an answer yet.

Zhen-Zhen started to feel anxious because of Tristan's silence. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

"I'm sorry, Tristan. It's okay if you don't want to. I understand." There was a hint of sadness in her voice.

Zhen-Zhen started to pet FaMo's head and said in a low voice. "I'm sorry, FaMo."

Tristan heard her apologizing to the cat.

After a while, Tristan sighed deeply and said, "Who said I don't want to? Of course, Zhen-Zhen, we can keep FaMo here. He's cute and adorable. Let's both take care of him."

Zhen-Zhen who was looking sad a while ago was now staring at Tristan with her grateful and blissful look.

"Really!? Yey! Thank you, Tristan! Did you hear that FaMo? You can stay here with us!"
