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

Zhen-Zhen moved closer to Tristan, tugging the sleeve of his jacket. She did that to get Tristan's attention. He remained silent after hearing her last question.

When he looked at her she was already pouting her lips with her puppy eyes look.

'Eh… when did she learn to use her charm and act pitiful yet looking so cute in my eyes?' Tristan mumbled to himself.

He heaved a deep sigh and said, "Zhen-Zhen, If you want to be my wife then you have to promise me one thing."

Zhen-Zhen fixed her gaze on Tristan, anticipating the next words he was about to say.

"You must hide your powers to others. No one should see you using it. You are not allowed to use your power anymore once you start living with me. Do you understand? Can you do it for me, Zhen-Zhen?"

Zhen-Zhen paused for a moment, absorbing every word that Tristan had just told her.

'Hide my powers… I am not allowed to use my powers?' She repeated in her mind.

After a few seconds, Zhen-Zhen put on her bright smile before nodding vigorously at him. It was her affirmation of Tristan's rule before becoming his wife.

"This is a secret between the two of us. Promise?" Tristan asked her again.

"I promise!"

Tristan chuckled seeing her enthusiasm.

"Very good! We have another deal!" He gently patted her hair, smiling tenderly at her.

"Yes, it's our deal! Let's close it, Tristan!" Zhen- Zhen mumbled excitedly.

And before Tristan could react, Zhen-Zhen suddenly tip-toed, bringing her face closer to his. In an instant, their lips touched, pressing each other. It lasted only for just a few seconds before she drew back.

However, for Tristan, it seemed like the time had stopped. He didn't see it coming. He was caught off guard by her sudden action. He was frozen on his spot.

'She kissed me?! She initiated the kiss! D@mn, she copied what I did a while ago when I said about closing the deal!'

"Tristan…? What's wrong?" Zhen-Zhen asked him as she noticed Tristan not moving and just standing there quietly.

He just shook his head absentmindedly and simply mumbled "Nothing!"

"Hmm okay. Come… let's eat. Taste this. It's delicious." she said, pulling Tristan to the roasted wild boar.

At first, Tristan was very hesitant to eat it. But after seeing Zhen-Zhen enjoying every bite of the roasted meat, he couldn't help but have a taste of it as well. For an unknown reason, he found the food tasty and delicious.

After satisfying their hungry stomachs, Zhen-Zhen and Tristan continued their journey on the mountain. But to their disappointment, they didn't see Zhen-Zhen's parents.

"Zhen- Zhen, it's about to get dark. I have to go back before night time. Are you sure your parents are here? Can you communicate with your father using your power?"

They were now sitting on some big rocks, taking a rest for a moment. Tristan was also tired. His body was already covered by sweats and he was now panting. On the other hand, Zhen-Zhen didn't look exhausted at all, still breathing normally.

When Zhen-Zhen heard Tristan's suggestion, she tried to use her power to track her parents. She closed her eyes, concentrating on her mind.

Tristan just stayed quiet beside her, watching her with intrigue.

Several minutes had passed and Zhen-Zhen got lost in her thoughts. She tried her best to locate her father and mother's aura around the mountain but she couldn't feel them. She was losing her hope.

'Fa-Fa! Mo-Mo! Where are you?' She was calling them in her subconscious.

Suddenly, she saw a black fire as big as an apple, floating in front of her.

'Fa-Fa?' She called the demon god once again.

Then she heard a voice coming from the black fire. "Zhen-Zhen…"

'Are you Fa-Fa?' Zhen- Zhen asked the black fire curiously.

'No!'

'Are you Mo-Mo?'

'No!'

'Who are you?'

'I have no name.' the Black fire answered her.

Zhen-Zhen frowned, feeling disappointed. She thought he was her Fa-Fa. She could feel her father's aura from that black fire. But she felt strange since she could also feel her mother's aura.

"Do you know where are they? Did you see them?" Zhen-Zhen didn't give up, hoping that the black fire could give her an answer.

"They are always with you, Zhen-Zhen. Though you can't see them they are always guiding you." The black fire responded to her.

"That's what Fa-Fa told me the last time I saw him." There was a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Zhen-Zhen, don't be sad! Your Fa-Fa and Mo-Mo want you to be happy." He softly said, consoling her.

"I will tell you something, Zhen-Zhen. Listen to me carefully," he added.

"The demon god gave me the task to protect you against those guardian warriors who were trying to harm you. I was the one who brought you here to this new world. I am the Black Fire Dragon."

"New world? So this is not our home?" She asked with confusion.

"Yes! This is a world inhabited by ordinary humans. They have no powers, unlike guardian warriors. You will be safer here compared to the world where you came from."

"I understand… but… will I be able to see Fa-Fa and Mo-Mo once again?"

The Black Fire became silent for a moment.

"I don't know… but if ever you miss them I can help you see them by remembering their past moments together with you. I have the memories of your Fa-Fa and Mo-Mo."

Zhen-Zhen's face brightened up after hearing that. She was back to her cheerful mood.

"Really? So you are the reason why I can recall some of their memories together, just like what happened in the waterfalls? I saw a vision of how Fa-Fa and Mo-Mo met in the waterfalls."

"Yes, you are right!"

Zhen-Zhen smiled at that thought.

"Thank you-" She didn't finish her sentence since the black fire had no name.

"I think I should give you a name too."

"Is that necessary?"

"Yes, so that I can call you by your name and we will become friends just like me and Tristan," Zhen-Zhen said cheerfully.

Tristan also taught her the meaning of 'friend' and how to make friends with others. They had talked a lot after roaming around the mountain for the whole day.

"Ok!" the black fire replied.

"From now on, I will call you FaMo!"

"FaMo? Hmm, I like it. But why FaMo?" The black fire asked her curiously.

"Because you possess Fa-Fa and Mo-Mo memories!" She said matter-of-factly.

Zhen-Zhen and FaMo were still talking when they heard Tristan's voice calling Zhen-Zhen.

"He is calling you. You have to go back now." FaMo suggested.

"Don't worry, I will appear whenever you need me. I can also talk to you in your subconscious."

"Thank you, FaMo! Let's talk again next time!"

After saying goodbye with FaMo, Zhen-Zhen opened her eyes only to see Tristan in front of her, holding her shoulders while shaking her.

"Zhen-Zhen, don't do that again! You frightened me, did you know that? You were not responding to me! What happened to you?" Tristan complained to her, feeling worried.

"I am sorry, Tristan. Whenever I was put in a deep concentration I locked myself in my subconscious that's why I was not able to respond to you. But don't worry, I can still hear you. I heard you calling me, that's why I came back."

Tristan heaved a sigh of relief. "So how is it? Did you see your parents? Have you talked to them?"

"I didn't see them but I got some answers," she said truthfully.

"Alright, so are you coming with me? I have to go back now." Tristan asked her.

"Yes! I'm coming with you!" Zhen-Zhen said with eagerness.

"That's great! Let's go!" Tristan said before grabbing her hand.
