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

[ The Night of Acquaintance Party ]

~ University of Imperial Knights ~

The Acquaintance Party was being held in the big gym of the University of Imperial Knights. It was well-decorated from stage design and to the different lightings.

The sound of the live music playing echoed in the entire place. There were beautiful ladies and gentlemen who were serving as ushers, guiding the special guests to their respective seats.

Everyone dressed up in their fancy semi-formal and casual clothes. The theme was black and white so everyone could wear anything having black and white shade.

Most men were wearing Black and White suits while women were wearing Black and White cocktail dresses. The guests also followed the dress code.

Sophia and Zhen-Zhen chose to wear white knee-length cocktail dresses. Their dresses had similar designs. They hung tight around their small waists and puffed at the bottom.

Those dresses were personally chosen by Tristan. When it came to fashion style, Tristan was quite knowledgeable. He knew what type of dress fit someone very well. His skill came in handy on such an occasion like this.

Zhen-Zhen maintained her disguise, trying to look simple and not eye-catching at all. But in. Tristan\'s eyes, she was still the most beautiful woman he had ever seen even in this disguise.

Sophia, on the other hand, was looking very stunning with her hair and makeup. Her shoulder-length hair styled in loose waves and curls was cascading down her back beautifully. She would definitely attract men\'s attention with her charming look tonight.

Marcus would come to pick up Sophia from the Parlor where Zhen-Zhen and Sophia did their makeover. They were currently waiting for him.

Grandpa Lu would proceed to the venue alone while Tristan and Zhen-Zhen would be riding the same car together with Matthew. But they won\'t enter the venue at the same time.

Grandpa Lu and Tristan wanted to keep from everyone the true identity of Zhen-Zhen, also known as Lillie Meyer.

Once they learned that Lillie was part of the Davis Family, she would no longer enjoy her simple and peaceful student\'s life.

So the grandfather and grandson duo decided to act carefully and casually with Zhen-Zhen so that people would not notice Zhen-Zhen\'s connection with them.

Grandpa Lu warned Tristan several times to control himself and avoid showing public display of affection if he tried to approach Lillie during the party.

Both Matthew and Grandpa Lu were in doubt whether Tristan could do it or not. They were certain that Tristan would never leave Zhen-Zhen\'s side and he would keep his eyes on her, afraid that other men would try to approach his lovely wife.

In fact, there was a certain someone with whom he wanted to stay on guard, not letting that person be with Zhen-Zhen. That person was none other than Liam, Zhen-Zhen\'s History Professor.

Tristan and Matthew went to see the ladies in the parlor. They were all set and ready to go.

Matthew was simply stealing glances at Sophia from time to time. She\'s busy talking to Zhen-Zhen.

Matthew\'s simple action didn\'t escape Tristan\'s observant eyes. He started teasing his friend again. Matthew could only glare at Tristan, asking him to behave.

It did not take long when Marcus arrived to pick Sophia. She immediately said goodbye to Zhen-Zhen, Tristan and Matthew.

She went out of the Parlor to see Marcus who was already waiting outside. He was holding a bouquet of white roses.

Zhen-Zhen, Tristan, and Matthew just watched the two of them from a distance. They saw Marcus giving Sophia the flower as he grabbed her hand and planted a soft kiss on the back of her palm.

Sophia blushed in an instant because of Marcus\'s sweet gesture. Matthew who was just watching them couldn\'t help but frown.

He could see how happy Sophia was tonight. Her charming smile was already imprinted in his mind.

"She really likes that guy," He murmured in a low voice, sighing deeply.

But Tristan was still able to hear it. He couldn\'t help letting out a soft chuckle.

He wrapped his arm around Matthew\'s shoulder and said, "My dear friend, raising a white flag right away?!"

Matthew raised his brow at Tristan\'s last remarks. "What do you mean by that?"

"Well, are you not wondering why I ask you to tag along with me tonight? I did this for you. This is your opportunity to get to know more about Sophia. Spend time with her during the party!"

Matthew\'s eyes widened after hearing that. He had the urge to hit his head.

"Seriously, Tristan? Are you trying to \'matchmake\' Sophia and me?" Matthew asked him exasperatedly.

Tristan bobbed his head frantically. "Yes, I am!" He said matter-of-factly.

"Are you insane? Sophia is still a college student. She\'s also younger than me! Where the hell did you get that idea to pair me with her? You kept teasing me ever since we came here."

This time Zhen-Zhen also joined their conversation.

"Matt, age doesn\'t matter," she said, smiling at him.

"My wife is right! So don\'t worry about it. Besides, you and Sophia only have 8-year age gaps. She\'s also graduating next year! You can date her." Tristan was still urging Matthew to make a move on Sophia.

"I know you have a crush on her. Hahaha. You can\'t hide it nor deny it from me. I know you very well," Tristan added, smirking lopsidedly at his friend.

"Matt, I can help you with Sophia. If you want to know more about her, especially her likes and dislikes, you can ask me anything!" Zhen-Zhen suddenly volunteered to help Matthew.

Then Zhen-Zhen turned to Tristan. "Hubby, I\'m glad that Marcus and Sophia are getting closer every day. But I will be happier if Sophia and Matthew will end up together. Matthew is your best friend and Sophia is my best friend too."

Matthew: "..."

\'Why do I feel like this husband and wife are ganging up on me?!\' Matthew lamented inwardly.

"Hey, you lovey-dovey couple, stop spouting nonsense. You are both overthinking. Your imaginations are running wild. I think we should go now, Chairman Lu is already asking if we are on the way."

Tristan and Zhen-Zhen just exchanged meaningful glances before bursting out laughing. They noticed that Matthew was blushing.
