With almost everyone supporting Zhen-Zhen, plus Tristan's intervention, Zhen-Zhen dominated the votes for the Campus Belle.

Almost ninety percent of the male student population voted for her thus crowning Zhen-Zhen as the new Campus Belle of the University of Imperial Knight.

First-Year Class-A celebrated this victory. All the unhappiness they felt toward Zhen-Zhen suddenly disappeared. They felt proud that the new Campus Belle came from their class.

Grandpa Lu and Assistant Twig left immediately when the result came out because of some company matters. But before leaving, Grandpa Lu made sure to greet Zhen-Zhen.

Tristan and Matthew stayed for a while. Sophia and Zhen-Zhen were together. They were being surrounded by Zhen-Zhen's classmates.

Both Tristan and Matthew could not find a perfect chance to approach the two women. They just watched them on the sideline.

There were lots of male students who wanted to congratulate Zhen-Zhen but Tristan bribed them with the gift certificates just for them to leave Zhen-Zhen alone.

He succeeded in sending away those flies but Zhen-Zhen's classmates came running to her. They were excited to talk to her. Some apologized to her for not believing in her.

Betsy and Alicia also acted very friendly toward Zhen-Zhen. They just witnessed how Zhen-Zhen easily won the title. Many students became her fans, supporters, and admirers.

They had to seize this opportunity to ride her fame. Now, they understood how they could become popular in school: Just be friends with the Campus Belle.

"Congrats, Lillie! You look stunning today! We are proud of you," the Class President greeted Zhen-Zhen.

"Thank you, Class President for supporting me," Zhen-Zhen responded to him with a smile.

"You deceived us. Why did you disguise yourself? You should flaunt your beauty, not hide it," Betsy also joined the conversation.

Zhen-Zhen glanced at Tristan when she heard that question. She giggled upon seeing Tristan sulking at the corner of the stage. He was looking in her direction, pouting and wearing his pitiful look.

He wanted to talk to her already but he couldn't find the chance because her classmates were still pestering her.

"Classmates, thank you. Sorry if I disguised myself. I have some personal reason for that. Anyway, can I excuse myself first? I need to talk to my sponsor," Zhen-Zhen politely said to her classmates.

They had no choice but to let her go. The class president informed everyone that he would organize a victory party for this.

Zhen-Zhen immediately grabbed Sophia toward the stage where Tristan and Matthew were waiting for them. Betsy and Alicia just watched the two ladies approaching Tristan and Matthew.

They wanted to join them but Zhen-Zhen didn't invite them so they just stayed with their classmates. There was a hint of envy in their eyes as they saw Zhen-Zhen happily conversing with Tristan.

Tristan immediately grabbed Zhen-Zhen to the backstage where no one was watching them. Zhen-Zhen pounced on him and hugged Tristan tightly.

"Hubby, thank you for coming today. You surprised me!"

Tristan chuckled while stroking her hair. "Of course, I want to see my wife outshining those mean girls. You totally nailed it, Zhen-Zhen."

Zhen-Zhen broke the hug and looked straight into his eyes.

"Are you not angry anymore?" Zhen-Zhen asked him anxiously as she remembered Tristan's reaction a while ago.

Tristan shook his head. "I will not be mad anymore as long as you will give me a bribe."

Tristan looked at her expectantly, waiting for his bribe. As if Zhen-Zhen read his mind, she cupped Tristan's face and planted a lingering kiss on his lips.

When they parted, Tristan caressed her face and said, "Let's celebrate later at home together with Father-in-Law and Matthew. Invite Sophia as well. Remember, we should help Matthew to win Sophia's heart."

Zhen-Zhen's eyes sparkled with excitement after hearing that. "Yes, I like it. Let's celebrate tonight together with them."

They were still talking when Tristan's phone rang.

"Wifey, Andrew is calling me. Let me answer this." Tristan answered the phone in front of Zhen-Zhen. He was holding her hand while the other one was holding the phone.

Tristan: "Hello, Bro?"

Andrew: "How is it? Did Lillie win?"

Tristan rolled his eyes.

Tristan: "Did you just call me to ask that? I thought something came up in the company."

Tristan heard Andrew laughing from the other line.

Andrew: "No. In fact, I know my sister-in-law will win. But what I am curious about is whether you create a commotion or not."

Tristan: "Huh? Why do you think I will make a commotion here?"

Andrew let out another chuckle before answering Tristan.

Andrew: "Simply because… I know you will get jealous if men will start setting their eyes on your beautiful wife and try to get her attention."

Andrew was teasing Tristan over the phone. He could imagine Tristan's face right now. Tristan narrowed his eyes when he heard that.

Tristan: "Do you have anything else to say? If not, then I'll hang up. You are disturbing my wonderful moment with your sister-in-law."

Andrew burst out laughing once again. He didn't know that having this light conversation with Tristan while teasing him could be this fun. He was glad that they fixed their relationship as brothers.

Andrew: "Alright Bro, I will not disturb you. Send my regards to my sister-in-law. Congratulate her on my behalf."

Andrew was about to hang up the phone when Tristan spoke again.

Tristan: "Why don't you congratulate her personally? We will have a mini celebration tonight at our home. Drop by and join us."

Andrew was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect that Tristan would invite him.

Andrew: "Are you sure? Do you want to invite me?"

Tristan: "Yes, of course. Just make sure to bring something good to eat. Matthew and Lillie's friend will also join us. We will wait for you."

Andrew: "Sure, bro. I will definitely come. Thank you for asking me to join you."

Tristan: "See you later then, bro."

Tristan smiled before hanging up. He could sense that Andrew was quite surprised when he invited him. He was glad that he did. This was also a perfect opportunity to bond with him and for them to get closer.

On the other hand, Andrew was still looking at his phone with a bright smile on his face. He just felt happy because his brother willingly invited him to come over for tonight's celebration.

He felt that their relationship was going better each day. He hoped for this day to come that the animosity between them would disappear.

Andrew was still savoring this blissful feeling when suddenly someone hit him at the back.

*Pak*

"Hey Boss, why are you smiling like a fool? Did you lose your mind already? Should I bring you now to the psychiatrist for help?" A bubbly feminine voice was heard.

Andrew turned around and squinted his eyes at her. The woman who just suddenly appeared, hitting him on the back was none other than his volunteer assistant, Alveena.

It's been five days since Alveena started fulfilling her role as Andrew's personal assistant. She didn't go home yet. She was still staying at Andrew's penthouse.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that? Your mood suddenly changed. Moments ago you were smiling. Now, you are looking so grumpy again."

Andrew arched his brow and folded his arms across his chest. "It's because of you. You just ruined my moment. Go… make me a coffee."

"Noted, Boss!" Alveena said enthusiastically.

"By the way, later don't wait for me. You go home first. I will visit my brother and sister-in-law. We will celebrate." Andrew informed Alveena.

Alveena's eyes lit up upon hearing the word 'celebrate'.

"Really? Then let me come with you!"

"I want to meet my brother-in-law and sister-in-law!!" She added in a low voice but Andrew still managed to hear that.

"Pardon, what did you say?" Andrew was looking at her with disbelief.

Alveena repeated her word, "I said let me come with you."

"No, not that. The other one…" Andrew said with a serious look on his face.

Alveena chewed on her lower lip, trying to hold her laughter. 'Did he hear my last words?'

Andrew raised his brow, waiting for her answer.

"I said I want to meet my brother-in-law and sister-in-law," Alveena said with a straight face.

Andrew: "..."

Alveena couldn't describe the expression on Andrew's face the moment she repeated those words. He looked like he wanted to say something but he couldn't utter a word.

After a while, Alveena's giggle bubbled up in his office.

"Hey, I am just kidding. I mean, your brother and your sister-in-law."
