228: She Already Knew!

She Already Knew!

Tristan didn't know how or what happened in that split of a second. But when he blinked his eyes and stared into his surroundings, he just found himself on a mountain peak.1

The mysterious man whom he was talking to a while ago had already disappeared. Tristan was just standing there, a few steps away from Zhen-Zhen.

'Zhen-Zhen?! She's really here. I finally found her!' Tristan thought to himself. There was a hint of longing in his eyes.

Then Tristan frowned when he saw the circle of lights in front of Zhen-Zhen. This was the first time he saw this kind of thing.

He was not surprised anymore. He already knew that Zhen-Zhen was a demon god's daughter. So it's only natural that she possessed magical powers. Supernatural things and phenomenons would always be associated with her.

Then complicated emotions flashed through his eyes as he watched her back. 'My wife is leaving??! She will go back to the world where she came from, leaving me here.'

Tristan clutched his chest tightly. He felt like his heart was being crushed right now, thinking that he might never see her again once she went back.

'No. I don't want that. I won't let her go.'

With that thought in mind, Tristan dashed in her direction, hugging Zhen-Zhen from behind. Zhen-Zhen who was busy opening the portal was taken aback when she felt that familiar warmth which was engulfing her body right now.

Tristan hugged her body tightly. He was afraid that once he let go of her, Zhen-Zhen would disappear forever and he would never see her again.

"Zhen-Zhen, Stop. Please don't go. Wifey, don't leave me here." Tristan said, begging her to stay.

Zhen-Zhen's eyes widened when she recognized the person who was embracing her right now. Zhen-Zhen's inner demon could feel it.

Tristan's hug was slowly affecting her. The real Zhen-Zhen started to wake up from her subconscious.

'No, this is not good. I have to push this guy or else, she will wake up and will hide me again in her subconscious. I can't let this happen.'

With all her might, Zhen-Zhen's inner demon tried to escape from Tristan's tight grasp. She removed his arms that were wrapped around her body. Then she pushed him away from her. 

She faced him with her glaring eyes while stepping back. She wanted to maintain their distance. It's dangerous to be closer to him. Zhen-Zhen might wake up because of his presence.

'Why is he here? Who brought him here?... Black Fire?!!!' 

A cold glint flashed through her eyes as she realized what FaMo had done. He was the one who had the power to bring Tristan here. No wonder Black Fire suddenly disappeared. It turned out he went back to get this guy.

'What a great move Black Fire?! But you will never win. I will not let that happen. Not now.' Zhen-Zhen's inner demon sneered at that thought.

"What are you doing here? You are not needed here. Go away!" Zhen-Zhen told Tristan with her stern cold voice.

"Wifey, please listen to me. Don't go. It's dangerous there. Just stay here. You are safe here." Tristan tried to move closer to her but Zhen-Zhen stopped him.

"Stay there. Don't come near me if you don't want to get hurt." Zhen-Zhen threatened him.

Tristan reflexively came to a halt when he saw Zhen-Zhen's deathly glares directed at him. She looked frightening right now.

After a while, her laughter echoed in the mountain. It was a mocking laugh. Her eyes filled with mockery as she glanced at Tristan.

"Why do you care if I leave or not? Why do you care if I will be in danger or not?" Zhen-Zhen asked him coldly.

"I care because you're my wife!" Tristan promptly answered her.

Zhen-Zhen laughed again. But it was a humorless laugh.

"Do you think you can still fool this Zhen-Zhen? Just go away. Go to your Hannah. I think this is the right timing that your wife will disappear so that you can be with the girl you love. Hannah is the girl you love, not Zhen-Zhen!" Zhen-Zhen's inner demon started to ridicule Tristan, expressing Zhen-Zhen's pain.

Tristan was dumbfounded when he heard that. Zhen-Zhen saw everything. She heard everything. And she already knew about his feelings for Hannah. Tristan realized that he was already too late.

'She knew already but how and when?' Tristan asked himself.

Seeing Tristan's expression, Zhen-Zhen couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.

"See, you can't even say a word. So don't be a hypocrite. Just leave Zhen-Zhen alone. She's already hurt. She no longer wants to be your wife. That marriage was just a joke, to you and to her."

Every word she said was like a dagger piercing Tristan's heart at this moment.

"Zhen-Zhen had no time to play the role-playing game you called husband-and-wife. There's something more important she needs to do right now. So stop bothering me. Go! Scram! I don't want to see your face here." Zhen-Zhen said before turning her back on him and returned to what she was doing, opening the portal.

It's just a matter of time Zhen-Zhen could finally open it with the size wherein a person could fit in. The portal was becoming the size of a door going to the other dimension.

Tristan balled his hands into fists. He hated himself right now. He just realized his mistake. He regretted it now for dragging it for too long.

Now, Zhen-Zhen was hurt. And it was his fault. He was a coward. He didn't listen to Matthew nor to his grandpa. Because of that, Zhen-Zhen had started to hate him to the extent that she wanted to leave him.

'Tristan! You are a damn fool!' he cursed himself.

But he won't give up now. Zhen-Zhen couldn't leave just like that. There's something more he wanted to explain to her, to tell her.

Tristan moved again to stop Zhen-Zhen. However, Zhen-Zhen's inner demon had already sensed what he was going to do. Before Tristan could touch her, Zhen-Zhen's inner demon acted on impulse, pushing Tristan's away with her full force.

There was a loud thud followed by Tristan's groan, wincing in pain.

"Argh!"

Tristan had been thrown away, his body hitting the big rock. Zhen-Zhen was shocked when she realized what she did, looking blankly at her bare hands that she used in pushing Tristan's away. 

'Tristan?!'
