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

After eating their breakfast, Tristan went to take a bath while Matthew headed home. Both of them still needed to go to the company for work.

Before Matthew left his condo, Tristan gave him final instructions. Matthew was given a task to retrieve and process all the necessary documents that would make Zhen-Zhen's identity as Lillie be legal. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

This was one step to make the demon god's daughter fit in the society. Of course, Tristan made up some story why he asked Matthew to do it. He preferred to hide Zhen-Zhen's true identity even from his best friend, Matthew.

However, if things didn't go well and some circumstances would leave Tristan with no choice then he was willing to share this secret with Matthew. In the meantime, he decided to leave him in the dark.

After putting his clothes on, Tristan went out of his room to see Zhen-Zhen. He was now wearing his black three piece corporate suit.

Then he saw Zhen-Zhen sitting on the couch while watching television. Her eyes were fixed on the TV screen. She was smiling and laughing from time to time especially if she found the scene fun and enjoyable.

Tristan shook his head with a wide grin. By just looking at Zhen-Zhen now, no one would have imagined that she was not an ordinary human being. She was adapting in her environment very fast.

Zhen-Zhen was wearing a pink set of pajamas. Even if she put on a simple set of clothes, the demon god daughter still looked like the girl next door.

She had the aura filled with alluring purity, simplicity, and charm. He considered it as natural, modest, or in short… an effortless beauty.

She had sensed Tristan's presence so she turned on the side, glancing at his direction. She was smiling but the moment her eyes noticed his clothes which were also similar to last night, the smile on her face faded.

"Are you leaving again, Tristan?" There was a gleam of sadness in her eyes.

Tristan felt helpless seeing her sad expression. His heart twitched with a tinge of pain. He didn't want her to be sad. He was used to seeing her bright charming smile.

He immediately approached her and sat beside her. Tristan held her hands and gazed up to look at her blue eyes.

"Don't worry, Lillie. I'll come back after work. You have to stay here. I can't bring you to the office for a while. I hope you understand." Tristan softly said to her.

Zhen-Zhen bit her lower lip but still nodded on the end.

"Will you get drunk again today? Last night… you were very sad." She asked him, feeling worried.

Tristan was rendered speechless. 'Was I really that talkative last night? How did she know that I was sad? Did I tell her that?' 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

Tristan gave her an apologetic smile. "I will not get drunk today. I will just go to work. No alcoholic drinks are allowed in our office." He said, reassuring her.

"Okay. Then I will have to wait for your return." Zhen-Zhen mumbled.

She was still feeling down a little bit. She wanted to be with Tristan always. His presence gave her comfort.

Then Tristan placed a phone in her hand and said, "I already taught you the basics on how to use this phone. Do you still remember it?"

Zhen-Zhen just bobbed her head.

"Good. You can speed dial this and call me whenever you need something. You can also send me a text message, I promise to give you a response immediately. So don't be sad. By using this phone, it feels like we are still together and we can talk to each other."

After hearing that, Zhen-Zhen's mood became better. "Ok. I will do that."

"There's the food in the refrigerator just in case you feel hungry. I will also do delivery for your food this afternoon."

"Lillie… just stay here. Don't leave this place, understood?" Tristan now felt reluctant to leave.

What if Zhen-Zhen will go out without his knowledge? She might get lost. What if she becomes missing?

That's what he was worrying about.

"I promise. I'll just stay here. I will not leave the house. This is what you want so I will have to listen and do it." She said with determination.

Tristan heaved a sigh of relief. Thank God, Zhen-Zhen was very obedient to him.

"Okay, Lillie, I have to go now. Wait for me okay. Call me if you have concerns." Tristan reminded her.

Tristan stood up and picked up his keys and wallet before marching to the front door. She followed him behind to send him off.

When Tristan got out of the main door, he turned around to glance at her one last time. She was standing by the door frame, staring at him with her sad blue eyes.

Tristan looked at her helplessly. 'Why are you making this hard for me to leave this house? Don't look at me like that Zhen-Zhen.'

After taking a deep breath, Tristan traced his steps back to Zhen-Zhen. When he reached her, he pulled her into his arm embracing her.

"I'll come back. Don't be sad anymore. Next time… once you learn more about the things here, I will bring you to the company with me." Tristan mumbled while stroking her hair.

"Okay. I will do my best, Tristan. I will learn more so that I can come with you anywhere."

"Good. So go inside now. You can also learn by watching television. You will see how ordinary people live their lives in this world."

With that, Zhen-Zhen's mood came back to normal as she went back inside the house. She was eager to learn so that she would no longer be separated with Tristan just like today.

Tristan finally saw her smile. Now he could leave with ease.

'Zhen-Zhen… I know you will do well. I'll help you to live a normal life like an ordinary person in this place. You don't have to go back and live in that mountain again. I'll take care of you.'
