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

Bianca was stupefied by Clifford's actions. He was really into it, pretending to be her boyfriend. His acting looked very convincing as her mother and father were looking at them with glowing smiles on their faces.

Bianca was the one who pushed him first, her cheeks reddened in embarrassment. She couldn't stop herself from blushing.

When Clifford hugged her, she felt his warmth and smelled his cologne. She didn't want to admit it but she liked it. Her heart was beating so loud in her ears.

Clifford was not alone, there were men following him behind. They were staff from a certain restaurant in the City of Empire. They brought the food Clifford had ordered. They came with him to deliver and arrange the table while serving the food.

Bianca's parents were surprised to see those Staff preparing and setting the table for them. 

"Did her boyfriend all prepare this for us?" Bianca's father, Max, whispered to his wife, Aileen.

"Yes, remember. I told you. He is a member of the Sy Family, one of the powerful families here in the City of Empire. He is so sweet to prepare this for us, isn't he?" Aileen smiled cheerfully, happy with the scene she was seeing right now. At least, her daughter Bianca finally found a man who would also pamper her.

When the restaurant staff left, Bianca, Clifford, and Bianca's parents gathered at the dining table. Bianca introduced her father and Clifford to each other.

"So Mr. Sy, how serious are you about my daughter? I hope she is not just one of your flings." Max was very frank and direct to Clifford.

"Dad!" Bianca was so embarrassed by this sudden confrontation. She wanted to dig a hole and hide.

But Clifford was not pressured or offended at all. He just faced her father with a faint smile before answering Max's question.

"You can call me Clifford, Uncle. Mr. Sy is too formal. Besides, I am the boyfriend of your daughter." Clifford politely said. "To answer your question…" he paused for a moment, glancing at Bianca who was fretting over in her seat. She couldn't look at Clifford.

"Bianca is not my fling. She's so special and I'm serious with our relationship."

Bianca pouted. She would swoon in joy if what he said was true. But they were just pretending so Bianca thought his words were also part of this act.

'Gosh, Why am I feeling disappointed? I am not supposed to feel this,' Bianca scolded herself inwardly.

Meanwhile, Max was satisfied by Clifford's answer but he didn't show it in his expression. He had to maintain his frightening image to interrogate his daughter's boyfriend.

He needed to make sure that Clifford Sy would not hurt and break Bianca's heart. They could see that he was a good-looking man with power and wealth. Many women would try chasing after him. What if he would try to cheat on his daughter? He had to scare him and pressure him.

"Serious means… Are you going to marry my daughter?"

Cough! Cough!

Bianca choked on her water as she was drinking when her father suddenly mentioned marriage. 'Damn! My father is making me feel more embarrassed!!'

"Dad, stop that!" Bianca complained even before Clifford could say a word.

Aileen, her mother, just giggled as she saw Bianca blushing too much. This was the first time she saw her fierce daughter feeling embarrassed about something when it came to men.

She was truly convinced now that there was something more going on between Clifford and Bianca. 'Hmmm, I guess my daughter did a great job in finding such a fine future husband.'

"Hmm, Bianca, I am not asking you. This is a talk between two men." Max spat back at his daughter with a serious expression on his face.

Bianca glanced at her mother meaningfully, asking for her help. But Aileen just pretended not to see it.

Bianca's heart was pounding rapidly inside her chest. She felt anxious. She didn't know if she wanted to hear Clifford's answer or not. But part of her was curious about what Clifford was thinking. 'Is he going to answer that? And how?' 

Bianca wanted to facepalm. They were supposed to enjoy dinner together. Clifford bought different courses and menus. But here they were, interrogating Clifford already. 

"Mom, Dad, can't you just ask later after our dinner. I think we should start eating now! I'm hungry." Bianca complained to them, pouting her lips.

"Don't avoid our questions, Bianca. He can answer yes or no. Is it hard to say the word? If the two of you are not thinking about your future marrying each other, what's the point of having this boyfriend-girlfriend relationship? You are both adults. You are at the marrying age now."

"Uncle…" this time Clifford had spoken. All eyes suddenly focused on him, anticipating his next words.

Of course, Bianca's parents would like to hear that he was also planning and thinking of marrying their daughter in the future. They hoped that their relationship was already deep enough for them to decide to get married.

Aside from that, they already wanted to have grandchildren from Bianca. They were being impatient as their daughter never introduced a man to them. They even thought Bianca preferred women rather than men.

"I can marry her only if your daughter will agree and permit me to do that. I think I still need to work hard for me to convince her. But rest assured Uncle, Auntie… I don't have ill-intentions towards your daughter."

*Shatter!*

The next thing they heard was the sound of broken glass! Bianca accidentally dropped her glass on the floor after hearing Clifford's response. She was too startled that her grip on the cup loosened, causing it to slip out of her hand.

"I'm sorry…" Bianca apologized right away for breaking the glass.

She was about to pick the broken pieces when Clifford immediately grabbed her hands, stopping her. "Don't touch that. You might hurt yourself and cut your hands with the broken pieces. I will handle this just stay put. I will clean it up." Clifford immediately stood up to get the tools he needed to clean and pick up the broken glass.

"Oh my, your boyfriend is so thoughtful! He cares so much about you!" Bianca's mother shrieked in her seat, teasing her daughter.

"Hmm, I like him! Don't play hard to get. Marry him already!" Her father enthusiastically suggested, grinning at Bianca widely.

Bianca just stared at them with an "are-you-serious?" look.
