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

"Matthew! Book me a ticket now! I'm going home!"

"Eh? What?! You're going home?!!"

Tristan ignored Matthew as he continued walking without glancing back. He was rushing to go back to their hotel. 

Matthew just shook his head helplessly while following Tristan. Matthew knew that Zhen-Zhen was the reason why Tristan was acting like this.

When they arrived at their hotel, Tristan immediately started packing his things while Matthew was booking a flight going back to the City of Empire.

He didn't know if this was the right thing to do. Tristan's meeting with the investor was already set two days from now. If Tristan would leave tonight then who would attend the meeting with those investors? Would the investor allow Matthew to talk to them on behalf of Tristan?

"Tristan, are you sure about this? What will you do about the meeting with the investors?" Matthew asked him while watching Tristan moved across his room.

"I don't care about them. All I want to know right now is what happened to my wife. She's alone with a random guy, in his own place!! I told her to go home but after talking to her she didn't answer my next phone calls. No reply to my messages as well."

It seemed that Tristan had forgotten that Zhen-Zhen was a demon god's daughter and that she could protect herself if ever someone would try to hurt her and take advantage of her.

Aside from that, he was jealous. Why would Zhen-Zhen come to his house alone? Were they that so close with each other? Who's this another bee, flying around his wife?

Tristan continued packing his things when suddenly his phone rang. It was a call from Zhen-Zhen. Tristan stopped what he was doing and answered the call in an instant.

"Zhen-Zhen! Why did you just call me now? Where are you? What happened to you? Why you didn't answer my call? You didn't even reply to my messages! Are you still with that guy? What are you doing there?"

Tristan bombarded Zhen-Zhen with so many questions. Matthew looked at him in puzzlement. He was wondering why Tristan was calling his wife Zhen-Zhen instead of Lillie. 

Since he couldn't control his emotions, Tristan called his wife by her name Zhen-Zhen in front of Matthew. He had forgotten about Matthew's presence. He was just focused on his wife who was on the other line.

Matthew just decided to leave Tristan's room to give him privacy while talking to his wife. He assumed that the husband and wife had some misunderstanding. 

He wondered if they were fighting. Tristan seemed very furious a while ago. It looked like Zhen-Zhen aka Lillie needed to pacify her jealous man.

"Hubby, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you angry. Please don't be mad. I'm at home now. I was feeling unwell a while ago and fell asleep while I was on my way home, that's why I was not able to answer your calls," Zhen-Zhen said, omitting the fact that she fainted while she's in Clifford's house.

"I'm gonna call you on skype. I wanna see you," Tristan said before hanging up the phone. It did not take long when he called her on skype.

Zhen-Zhen answered the call right away. She could see that Tristan was wearing a very serious expression but he was not as mad as compared before.

Tristan felt relieved after seeing Zhen-Zhen in her room. He was familiar with that room since he was the one who chose that house for Meyer's family.

"You said you feel unwell. Are you sick? How do you feel?" Tristan asked her. His face was now painted with worries and concern.

Zhen-Zhen smiled faintly at him and answered him, "I'm fine now, hubby. Don't worry. Ma and Pa took care of me. Are you still mad at me?"

Tristan frowned but didn't give her an answer. "Who's Clifford?" Tristan started to interrogate Zhen-Zhen.

"He was a guy I met in the mall during Marcus's and Sophia's friendly date. I accidentally spilled some drinks on his suit so I bought him a suit. Just a few days ago we met again. And today he saved me from being hit by a motorcycle."

Zhen-Zhen continued speaking while Tristan just listened to her attentively.

"I brought him to the hospital since he got injured during the accident. I feel sorry and guilty for him so I dropped him at his place and cooked dinner for him. I'm sorry, hubby. I didn't know that you would be angry like this. I promise this won't happen again."

"I'm glad nothing bad happened to you," Tristan said, feeling grateful.

Tristan heaved a deep sigh. He already expected that Zhen-Zhen would be kind and generous toward that guy since he saved her. But still, he hated the fact that some guy was getting closer to his wife while he was not around.

Zhen-Zhen even cooked dinner for that guy. Just thinking about it Tristan was very pissed right now. He couldn't accept that another guy had a taste of Zhen-Zhen's cooking. He was jealous to the bone.

"Is he handsome?" Tristan suddenly blurted out of the blue.

Zhen-Zhen was at a loss for words. She didn't expect that last question from him. Zhen-Zhen had no idea what to say. She's afraid that when she said yes Tristan would get mad further. However, she couldn't tell that Clifford was not handsome because he's also a gorgeous man.

In the end, Zhen-Zhen chose a much safer answer. 

"He is. But my hubby is still the most handsome man in the City of Empire. No one can beat my hubby." Zhen-Zhen said proudly while smiling widely at him.

Tristan's lips twitched fighting a smile. He knew that Zhen-Zhen told him that just to placate him. But still, it was effective because he loved it when Zhen-Zhen was complimenting him. He felt flattered.

"Wifey, I'm going home tonight. I can't stand being apart from you. I am afraid that if I stay longer here then once I come back you already have tons of male friends there." Tristan pouted his lips while lamenting to his wife.

Zhen-Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry because of his last remarks.

"But hubby, are you done fixing the problem of the company branch there? I thought you would be having a meeting with the investors two days from now." 

Zhen-Zhen knew how important that meeting was in order to resolve the issue in the company branch overseas. Though she missed Tristan badly, she didn't want Tristan to cancel it just because of her.

"But I want to be with you now!" Tristan insisted.

"Just bear it for a while, hubby. Only two days to go and you will be able to meet them. I know you can resolve the issue by that time. Finish first what you have to do there before coming back here."

Tristan heaved a frustrated sigh. He knew that Zhen-Zhen had a point but he didn't know why he had a nagging feeling. He was not at ease as long as he was away from his wife.

"Alright, I will stay for a couple of days but in one condition… don't come with that guy again. Wifey, please stay away from male friends, or else I will die from too much jealousy."

"I promise. I understand, hubby. Are you not angry at me anymore?" Zhen-Zhen softly asked him with her puppy-eyed look.

"I'm not angry at you… but still, I will make sure to punish you once I come back," Tristan said to her firmly.

Zhen-Zhen could only nod her head and accept her upcoming punishment from Tristan. She chewed her lower lip, wondering what kind of punishment he would give her this time.

"One more thing, wifey… Please have an annual physical check-up this weekend. I will tell grandpa to let our family doctor examine you. You said you are feeling unwell right? Do you want to have a medical check-up tomorrow or on weekend?" Tristan was worried about her health.

Zhen-Zhen fell silent for a moment. She was thinking about whether it's a good idea to be examined by a doctor. She experienced it once when Tristan brought him to the hospital because of her monthly period.

However, she's worried about this check-up. What if the doctor would find out that she's not an ordinary human being? After all, she's a demon god's daughter. She's powerful and stronger compared to other human beings.

As if Tristan had read her concern, he spoke up once again. "Don't worry, wifey.  They will not know anything just don't use any of your power during the examination. Okay?"

"Okay, Hubby. I got it."

"Don't get sick, Wifey. I'm not by your side. I can't take care of you so stay healthy, okay?" Tristan's unhappiness a while ago was replaced by his love and concern for his wife. He was no longer upset.

"Same to you, hubby, Please take good care of yourself. Don't exhaust and stress yourself too much."

"Okay, wifey, sleep now. I know it's very late there now. It's time for you to sleep. I love you. I miss you. Good night. Muah!"

"I love you more, Tristan. I miss you a lot. Good night. Muah!"

The two of them said goodbye before hanging up the call. But Tristan had forgotten something. He wanted to ask Zhen-Zhen the complete name of that guy. He was really curious. So Tristan sent her a message asking for the complete name of Clifford.

It did not take long when he received Zhen-Zhen's reply.

[ Clifford Sy ]

Tristan's eyes widened in both shock and disbelief when he read that name on his phone screen.

'Damn! No way! Clifford Sy…the CEO of the Sy Corp?!'
