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

Zhen-Zhen had already stepped out of the car but Tristan was still in a trance, glancing at the empty seat where Zhen-Zhen was sitting just a while ago. He didn't know why but his heart was pounding rapidly inside his chest right now. This time it's not because he was nervous about Zhen-Zhen's examination but for other unknown reasons.

He touched his lips absentmindedly while blinking several times. The remnants of her warm lips still lingered on his memory. Zhen-Zhen initiated to kiss him once again. He was caught off guard. Her hands gently pulled his head closer and before he comprehended her intent, she kissed his lips. It was soft and gentle. 

But to his disappointment, before he could respond, Zhen-Zhen already drew back, breaking the kiss while saying, "I gotta go, Tristan. Thank you for my lucky charm. Now, I'm all set to take the exam. Fighting!"

"D@mn! She's showing me her true colors. What a demoness? She left me hanging! Zhen-Zhen… come back here." Tristan mumbled to himself, feeling helpless as he watched her walking towards the building where the exam would take place.

Tristan could only sigh as he leaned back on his seat. He glanced at his wristwatch. He was so determined not to leave his spot until Zhen-Zhen finished her exam. He would be waiting for her. Then he decided to treat her good meal for lunch. He scanned his phone and searched for the famous and best restaurant in the city of Empire.

Then Tristan turned to the back passenger seat where FaMo was currently sleeping.

"FaMo sleeps a lot. No wonder he is getting fatter each day." Tristan smiled at that thought, shaking his head.

"Did you wish Zhen-Zhen good luck?" Tristan asked the sleeping FaMo as if he was talking to a person.

It seemed like FaMo had heard him so he raised his head while looking in Tristan's direction.

"Meow! Meow! Meow!"

FaMo was saying "I don't have to wish her luck because I am confident that she will definitely pass the exam after memorizing and learning all the books you've given her from cover to cover."

Tristan let out a soft chuckle without understanding FaMo's words.

"Oh yeah. You don't have to wish her luck. She already got her lucky charm. I am her lucky charm!" Tristan stated with so much enthusiasm. He was smiling from ear to ear like a fool.

"Yeah… I'm her lucky charm!" he repeated once again in his low voice. The smile remained on his face.

***************

Meanwhile, in the examination room, there were some examinees present together with the proctor who would monitor them during the examination. There were around 20 people inside including the proctor. 40 examinees would be taking the placement exam for today. They were just waiting for the others and the scheduled time before they could start.

As expected, the moment Zhen-Zhen entered the room, she caught the attention of everyone inside. They were both starstruck and mesmerized by her breathtaking beauty and charm. The men examinees couldn't help but drool over her while the women admired her and at the same time felt envy towards her. 

How could someone be as beautiful as her? She looked like an angel and a goddess! That's what they were thinking but in fact, Zhen-Zhen was not an angel nor a goddess, she's a demoness. She had the blood of a demon running in her veins.

On the other hand, the proctor who was in her mid 30's was thinking a different thing.

'Such a waste for a beauty like her if she had no brain.' She thought to herself belittling Zhen-Zhen because she was thinking that Zhen-Zhen was there because she didn't even go to grade school and senior high school. The proctor thought that she's a beauty with no brain so there's nothing to envy.

Zhen-Zhen felt a little bit uncomfortable as everyone's gaze was fixed on her. She bit her lower lip while walking to the last row seat near the corner of the room. She just wanted to avoid getting their attention. 

When people would look at her all at once she couldn't help but remember the last scene in the cave wherein there were lots of guardian warriors looking daggers in her direction. She could vividly remember those menacing and ridiculing eyes that were cursing her and her family, telling them to just die and disappear in their world.

Zhen-Zhen closed her eyes and thought of happy moments so that she could shake away those negative memories. Then Tristan's handsome smiling face popped up in her mind. Thinking about him helped Zhen-Zhen to clear her mind and calm her heart. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes only to see that several pairs of eyes were still looking in her direction.

Zhen-Zhen just gave them an awkward smile. But that awkward smile made the boys blushed. Feeling satisfied after seeing her smile, they finally turned their back on her and faced the front once again.

It did not take long when all the examinees arrived at the venue. The proctor gave them instructions and the rules. At exactly 8:00 am, the examination started. Everyone inside was now very focused on answering the questionnaire. There was a total of 300 questions. It was a multiple-choice type of exam.

The exam was supposed to be done in four hours but Zhen-Zhen already finished answering all the questions in just one hour. She was hesitating to submit her answer sheet because no one among them had submitted first.

The proctor averted her gaze to Zhen-Zhen's direction. She noticed that Zhen-Zhen had stopped answering her paper. She looked like something was troubling her. A mocking smile appeared on the proctor's face.

'See… it looks like someone is having difficulty answering those easy questions. Tsk tsk tsk. I'm quite disappointed. What is the use of a pretty face if your brain is empty?' She was laughing inwardly.

After a while, Zhen-Zhen had made up her mind. She was thinking about Tristan who was waiting outside. She didn't want him to wait that long so she finally stood up and passed her answer sheet to the proctor.

"Ma'am, I'm done answering all the questions. Can I submit my paper now? After that, can I leave this room already?" Zhen-Zhen asked the proctor politely.

The proctor was dumbfounded for a moment while gazing at Zhen-Zhen with utter disbelief.
