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

« At Tristan's Condo Unit »

When Tristan arrived home, he saw Zhen-Zhen in the living room, reading some books. FaMo was sleeping on her lap. Zhen-Zhen had been reading different books since this morning.

Since Tristan told her to refrain from watching television Zhen-Zhen spent her time reading the review materials and other academic books given to her by Tristan. He said that answers to the questions for her upcoming examination could be found in those review materials and books.

Zhen-Zhen didn't want to disappoint Tristan, that's why she was studying diligently. She wanted to pass the examination and enter college.

On the other hand, FaMo became bored for the whole day. He wanted to watch TV but since Zhen-Zhen was busy studying she didn't turn on the TV. He was embarrassed to voice out that a mighty dragon got addicted to watching TV.

Tristan smiled inwardly at the scene in front of him. Zhen-Zhen was so focused on what she was doing that she failed to notice his arrival.

But deep inside, he felt a little bit disappointed because he was used to seeing Zhen-Zhen welcoming him by the door with her bright and charming smile whenever he arrived.

'I didn't receive a welcome hug tonight.' Tristan pouted while lamenting to himself.

"Zhen-Zhen!" he called her out to get her attention.

Zhen-Zhen gazed up to see Tristan. Her lips automatically curled up into a mesmerizing smile that could make any man's heart melt.

'D@mn! Why is it she is getting prettier and more attractive every day?'

But then, Zhen-Zhen's evil smile and frightening look suddenly popped up in his mind as he remembered his nightmare this afternoon. Tristan suddenly cringed at that memory. He felt like he was traumatized by that bad dream.

He shook his head, trying to get the image out of his mind. 'Wait, why am I seeing this? Is this a reminder that no matter how beautiful my Zhen-Zhen is, she is still a demoness? It also means she still has evil sides. I think I should be more careful not to trigger her inner demon.'

After clearing his mind, Tristan joined Zhen-Zhen on the sofa.

"How's your day?" Tristan asked her.

"Hmm. It's fun. I've done reading these materials." Zhen-Zhen proudly said to him while pointing out the pile of books on the table. There were more or less fifteen books in total.

"What??! Do you mean all these books? Not only one or two? But all of them?" Tristan asked her exasperatedly.

Zhen-Zhen just bobbed her head as a response.

"As in, from page one until the last page? Or you skip some pages?"

"From cover to cover. I didn't skip any pages." Zhen-Zhen promptly stated.

Tristan: "..."

Tristan was dumbfounded after hearing that. He couldn't believe that she would finish reading all the books by one day. The smallest book contained a minimum of 500 pages and the other books contained 1000 pages and more. Even he, himself, couldn't do that in one day.

"Then I guess I will not need to tutor her anymore. I think she is doing fine already." Tristan murmured to himself while rubbing his chin.

Zhen-Zhen was still able to hear his words. 'Eh… Tristan will not tutor me anymore because I finished reading this book already. No. I want Tristan to tutor me.'

So before Tristan could utter another word, Zhen-Zhen immediately spoke up.

"Tristan, I'm just kidding. I didn't finish reading all the books. I feel like my eyes will pop out if I do that." Zhen-Zhen said while smiling sheepishly. She avoided looking into his eyes while saying that.

"Eh? Then why did you say a while ago that you finished already?" Tristan asked her.

Zhen-Zhen bit her lower lip. After a few seconds, an idea crossed her mind. She raised her hand, touching her forehead as she gave him a pitiful face.

"I think I was confused when I answered your question a while ago. Those problem-solving questions in Mathematics gave me a headache." Zhen-Zhen made a perfect alibi and Tristan believed her.

Tristan chuckled and thought to himself, 'Even the demon god's daughter is having a hard time solving mathematical problems. I think for that reason alone she's like a normal human being now. Haha.'

"Alright. Don't worry. That's the main reason why I am here… I will teach you and tutor you, Zhen-Zhen." Tristan said while gently patting her head.

Zhen-Zhen's eyes lit up after hearing that. She was rejoicing. 'Yes! Tristan will still help me with my study. It's more fun to learn together with him rather than reading alone by myself.'

Just like that Zhen-Zhen, the demon god's daughter learned to lie for the first time. And Tristan had no idea about it. In fact, Zhen-Zhen understood everything she read. Her mind was absorbing those pieces of information.

Her intelligence was way higher than the average human being. If she was born in this world like a normal human being then with a brain like that she would be considered as a genius.

"Zhen-Zhen, take a rest for a while. We will continue to study tomorrow. Okay?" Tristan took the book in her hand and placed it on the table.

"Okay," She simply stated.

"Good, now let's go to the kitchen. I'm gonna teach you how to cook just like what Matthew did." Tristan said, grabbing her hand and gently pulling her towards the kitchen. FaMo who was sleeping in Zhen-Zhen's lap a while ago was awakened because of Tristan's action.

"Meow! Meow!" FaMo complained to them about the disturbance caused by Tristan.

"Sorry, FaMo. I forgot that you were sleeping in Zhen-Zhen's lap." Tristan apologized to FaMo while scratching his face.

FaMo just rolled his eyes before leaving the two of them as he walked towards Zhen-Zhen's room. Meanwhile, Tristan and Zhen-Zhen proceeded to the kitchen.

Tristan didn't know why but the moment he saw them enjoying cooking together he felt a little bit upset. So he decided that he would be the one to teach her from now on.

Though he was not fond of cooking and he seldom used his kitchen, he was so determined to teach her. Tristan was very lazy in terms of cooking. Matthew was the one who always cooked for him. But this time he would try to do it by himself while teaching Zhen-Zhen.

Zhen-Zhen, on the other hand, was very excited about this cooking session with Tristan.
