Chapter 742 My Real Father
The moment Zu Wan and Zhen-Zhen met each other\'s gaze, a strong feeling struck their hearts. The strong connection between them resurfaced and they could feel a strong sense of familiarity between them.
They knew each other. They recognized each other. This was different when Zhen-Zhen saw FaMo using her father\'s human form. This feeling couldn\'t compare to any feelings.
Zu Wan felt the same way. When he first saw Ella, having the same resemblance with his daughter, Zhen-Zhen, he could still point out the difference between them so he knew that Ella was not his daughter even though Ella\'s mother had an exact resemblance to Eva.
But this time, after seeing Zhen-Zhen personally, Zu Wan could feel it. It\'s no doubt that she was his daughter, Zhen-Zhen.
Zu Wan didn\'t know what to feel. His mind was still in turmoil. How did it happen? Why did his adorable angel suddenly become a beautiful fine lady?
Zu Wan was still asking himself what happened when Zhen-Zhen ran in his direction with tears threatening to fall from the corners of her eyes.
Tristan thought Zhen-Zhen was coming to him but he was mistaken as Zhen-Zhen hugged Zu Wan upon reaching his spot.
"Fa-Fa…" she muttered with so much longing in her voice.
Zu Wan\'s heart raced even faster when he heard that certain word \'Fa-Fa\'. That\'s how Zhen-Zhen was calling him when she was still a child. That single word confirmed further that Zhen-Zhen was indeed his daughter.
A Series of memories flashed in Zu Wan\'s mind as he recalled his precious moments with Zhen-Zhen: The play and training in the mountains and forests, flying together in the sky as she always asked him, "Fa-Fa, fly… fly… fly!" and "Fa-Fa fly! Sky!" She was saying that while pointing her little finger to the sky.
Then Zu Wan could no longer hold his tears. They just fell down his cheeks like raindrops. Zu Wan finally moved his arms, hugging Zhen-Zhen back.
He could feel her crying in his chest, still calling him, "Fa-Fa! Fa-Fa!"
"Fa-Fa, you are alive. I missed you so much!" Zhen-Zhen tightened her embrace, not wanting to let go.
Tristan just stood there, watching the heart-touching reunion between the father and daughter. He was a little bit confused about what was happening but he just felt happy seeing them together.
He just remained quiet, not wanting to disturb the father and daughter with their moments.
Zhen-Zhen couldn\'t stop her tears from flowing. She was so happy right now because she thought she would never see her father again, thinking he was already gone.
She didn\'t know how it happened. She didn\'t care anymore as the most important thing right now was Zu Wan was back, safe and alive. He didn\'t die.
Even Miho, the orange fire dragon, could attest that this man before them was the demon god. Their master was back. He was alive. Miho and the other fire dragons who were still dormant inside Zhen-Zhen were rejoicing for the return of the demon god.
Zhen-Zhen and Zu Wan hugged each other for several minutes while shedding tears. They didn\'t speak but they could understand each other\'s feelings.
They had mixed emotions right now. There might be confusion but overall, the father and daughter duo were so happy after seeing each other again.
When they noticed that other people were watching them, Zu Wan and Zhen-Zhen broke the hug. Tristan approached them.
"Let\'s go somewhere so that the two of you can talk privately." Tristan held Zhen-Zhen\'s eyes which gained a cold stare from Zu Wan.
Zu Wan looked at Zhen-Zhen\'s and Tristan\'s entangled hands. He used to be the one holding her hand like that. But now, another guy was holding his beloved daughter\'s hand.
"Okay, let\'s go! Let\'s leave here. I want to talk to my daughter," Zu Wan declared, snatching Zhen-Zhen\'s hand from Tristan.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen just looked at Zu Wan helplessly. Tristan felt like this already happened before. This is similar to FaMo\'s actions before when he still didn\'t like Tristan.
\'Eh, what\'s wrong? Why do I feel like we are back to zero again? Is my father-in-law mad at me? Was it because I failed to protect Zhen-Zhen as Hannah was able to hurt her including him because of the potion?\' Tristan marveled at that thought. He was still thinking that the person in front of him was FaMo.
He was clueless that the man before him was Zhen-Zhen\'s real father… the demon god and the master of FaMo and the other fire dragons.
Tristan guided them outside. They stepped into the car and Tristan drove to his place. His Condo Unit was empty because they were staying in the Davis Family Mansion. He thought it would be a suitable place for the three of them to talk freely.
It did not take long when the three of them arrived at Tristan\'s Condo Unit. Zhen-Zhen and Zu Wan stayed in the living room while Tristan prepared some snacks for them.
Zu Wan watched Zhen-Zhen, still couldn\'t believe that she was already an adult. He was assessing her from top to bottom.
"What happened to my cute angel? You are a big girl now," Zu Wan softly mumbled, touching Zhen-Zhen\'s face. Then he continued, "How did this happen? Where is your mother? I want to see her too."
Zhen-Zhen looked at her father, feeling worried. She could tell that her father couldn\'t remember everything.
\'Did he lose his memory? He forgot about mother getting killed by the guardian warrior after she protected him.\'
Zhen-Zhen didn\'t know where to start. They had just met. She didn\'t want to break Zu Wan\'s heart right away, telling him that her mother died. For now, she wanted to know what happened to her father. How did he come back?
Zhen-Zhen was about to ask him when Tristan joined them, holding a tray of food and drinks. He put it down on the table before sitting down on the opposite sofa.
"Father-in-law, what happened to you? You only recognize Zhen-Zhen, but you have forgotten me. Can\'t you recognize me? Did you have selective amnesia?" Tristan asked him without missing a beat. He was dying to ask him.
Zu Wan pursed his lips while arching his eyebrow. He didn\'t like the way Tristan was talking to him as if they were that close. He didn\'t know him at all.
"I don\'t have amnesia. I just really don\'t know you. This is my first time seeing you. I mean, in the hospital, that was the first time I saw you." Zu Wan tried his best to interact with Tristan because Zhen-Zhen was there.
"Eh? What?! Father-in-law, are you mad at me, that\'s why you are pretending you don\'t know me at all?"
Zhen-Zhen just smiled faintly. Tristan still had no idea that he was talking to her real father.
"Hubby, the thing is… this is my father… as in my real father. He is not FaMo."
"Huh? W-What do you mean, wifey? Real father? You mean… the real demon god?"
Zhen-Zhen bobbed her head with a smile.
*Thud!*
Tristan fell off the sofa after hearing that.
\'The real father… the demon god? Oh no! I\'m doomed. N-No wonder… he looks so frightening!!!\'
