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

"Hmmm, because I already have someone I like. For me, he's the most handsome man in this world."

When Zhen-Zhen said those words, there was glowing happiness on her face.

Indeed, from expression alone, Sophia could tell that she really liked that person or maybe it was more than that. That thing called 'Love'.

"I'm so glad to hear that Lillie. That person whom you like is very lucky. Where can he find a sweet, kind, and very lovely girl like you? There's only one Lillie in this world. I think you are also the most beautiful woman in his eyes."

Sophia was complimenting Zhen-Zhen because of her good qualities. However, instead of being happy after hearing that, a sad expression flashed in Zhen-Zhen's face.

"Hey, why are you giving me a sad look? Did I say something wrong? Did I offend you, Lillie?" Sophia asked her worriedly while gently tapping her shoulder.

"I don't know if I am also the most beautiful woman in his eyes," Zhen-Zhen mumbled as a response to Sophia.

She lowered her gaze, biting her lower lip.

"Huh? Why?" Sophia probed.

"Because he is in love with someone… with another woman. And that woman is his best friend," Zhen-Zhen shared her troubles with Sophia.

Meeting Hannah yesterday affected her this much. She knew that Tristan and Hannah already knew each other for a long time. They were already together ever since they were young.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that. I thought he was already your boyfriend. Am I wrong? Are both of you not yet official? You and that guy are just friends, aren't you?" Sophia asked her curiously.

Zhen-Zhen raised her head, glancing at Sophia before giving her an answer.

"We are already an official couple. We are now more than friends."

"Eh? What do you mean? He's with you but he's in love with someone else?! Did you confront him already? Who's that guy, I wanna beat him! Don't tell me he is not treating you well? Is he taking you for granted?" 

Sophia felt like she was burning with fury right now after hearing that. She couldn't help but throw her a lot of questions. 

She wanted to know that this guy was not taking Lillie for granted! Lillie is now her friend and she didn't want her to be sad because of one guy.

"Sunbae, calm down. Don't get the wrong idea. He is treating me very well. He is so kind and sweet towards me. He is making me happy. He always takes good care of me and my friend." Zhen-Zhen was referring to FaMo when she mentioned her friend.

Sophia heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that.

"So what's wrong?"

"It's just that I heard from my friend that he's in love with someone. I haven't confronted him yet. I'm afraid that he would be upset or feel sad once I bring up the topic of the girl." Zhen-Zhen told Sophia what she was thinking.

"Hmm, alright. I understand. Then why don't you ask him indirectly? So that you will get your answer," Sophia suggested.

Zhen-Zhen looked at her expectantly and asked, "How can I do that?"

Sophia paused for a moment, thinking about what they could do about her concern. 

"Oh, try this Lillie. Just ask him some random questions that he will be obliged to choose between you and his best friend."

"For example, If ever the two of you will be put in danger at the same time ask him who is the first person he will save first." Sophia gave her a perfect example.

Zhen-Zhen bobbed her head in agreement.

"Thank you, sunbae! I like this idea. Don't worry I will try to ask him once I return home today." Zhen-Zhen hugged Sophia while thanking her.

Sophia just patted her head gently. She hoped that through this Lillie would feel the assurance that she was important to that guy. She wished that this strategy would work to get the answer she wanted to know from him.

The two ladies spent the rest of their time talking about school stuff especially Zhen-Zhen's first class. They ate their snacks together and waited for their next class.

Little did they know, they were not alone in that mini forest. There was someone who was watching them secretly or rather watching Zhen-Zhen in particular.

That someone was the man wearing a black robe. He'd been following Zhen-Zhen since yesterday. He was very careful not to be noticed by her.

He would keep following her until he confirmed something. Then after that, he would make his next move.

**********

Tristan fetched Zhen-Zhen in her school after her class. FaMo was with them. He stayed at Tristan's office for the whole day because Tristan wanted to monitor his condition.

Fortunately, FaMo had already recovered. He was feeling better now. Upon seeing Zhen-Zhen, FaMo immediately approached her.

Zhen-Zhen scooped FaMo, cuddling him in her arms as she entered the car. Today, Matthew was the one driving. Zhen-Zhen and Tristan together with FaMo were sitting in the back passenger seats.

FaMo immediately told Zhen-Zhen about his complaints against Tristan.

'Zhen-Zhen, your dummy husband brought me to a certain place this morning. He asked someone to hurt me using a sharp pointy object. It looked like they wanted to open my stomach and experiment on my poor body.' FaMo said exasperatedly.

'Please scold your dummy husband for me,' FaMo added with his puppy-eyed look.

As a response, Zhen-Zhen gently stroked FaMo's head as she explained Tristan's side to him.

'FaMo don't be mad at Tristan. He is just worried about you and he wants to make sure that you are just fine.' 

Zhen-Zhen smiled at FaMo and stole a glance at Tristan. She appreciated Tristan's action.

'He already told me that he would bring you to the veterinary clinic. I told him that you were feeling sick last night. See, he cares about your well-being, FaMo.'

FaMo just sighed helplessly. In the end, he failed to get Zhen-Zhen's sympathy. She even defended Tristan's action.

FaMo felt like crying. He turned to Tristan as he shot him a cold sharp glare.

'Hmmph! I really hate this man! Zhen-Zhen is always on his side!'
