Chapter 815 [Bonus Chapter] The Proposal (I)

~ At Mt. Calypso ~

Zhen-Zhen felt FaMo's aura. Even if her eyes were closed, she could tell that he used his power to transport them to another place.

Now, Zhen-Zhen became more intrigued and curious about where they were right now. She didn't open her eyes yet as she was waiting for Tristan to speak.

But she could smell the fresh scent of the wind, trees, and plants in the surroundings. She could even hear some animal sounds from nearby. And what caught her attention most was the sound of falling water– a waterfall!

He said not to open her eyes unless he told her. So here she was trying to control herself even though she was dying to know where they went after the teleportation.

From a distance, Tristan saw Zu Wan and Miho hiding in the trees. The floating cottage was full of decorations like white curtains, flowers, and lanterns. The table for two was set as well for their romantic dinner.

The lanterns, the fireflies… everything was already prepared. Tristan was about to propose to Zhen-Zhen in this waterfall where he first met her.

"Wifey, you can open your eyes now," Tristan whispered to her, still hugging her from behind.

Zhen-Zhen slowly opened her eyes only to be greeted by the amazing view of the waterfall which was sparkling in the dark. She gasped in surprise seeing thousands of fireflies illuminating the surroundings.

She felt like she was in a fairyland just watching these magical and picturesque views of the waterfall along with the fireflies flying around them.

She even raised her hand to let the firefly land on her palm. Zhen-Zhen's blue eyes sparkled in delight. Her heart was pounding with so much joy.

"Wifey, do you know where we are right now?" Tristan asked her, smiling widely as he could see the happiness on her face.

"Yes! I know this place. This is where we first met. I will never forget this waterfall. The place has improved. But I can still recognize this." Zhen-Zhen responded enthusiastically, staring at Tristan's eyes intently.

"You are right. We are on Mt. Calypso right now. I'm glad that you still remember the place." He gave her a peck on her forehead.

"Of course, this is a very special place. You found me here and I met you here." Zhen-Zhen sunk further into his arms, leaning her back on his sturdy chest as they watched the waterfall and the fireflies.

Tristan placed his chin over her shoulder, hugging her waist. "Wifey, did you know that when I first saw you, I thought you were a mountain goddess, a forest fairy, and a waterfall's nymph."

Zhen-Zhen giggled when she heard that. "But you never thought that I'm a half-human and half-demon. Weren't you afraid of me after knowing about my identity and witnessing my power?"

Tristan smiled sheepishly and said, "You are breathtakingly beautiful like an enchantress. How could I be afraid of you? But I admit I was truly surprised and slightly frightened when I saw the fire coming out of your palm."

"And you amazed me too when you brought the big wild boar and dropped its dead body in front of me."

Tristan couldn't stop himself from laughing as he recalled those moments, he almost died when he fell off the cliff just because he got frightened of her. But later on, after he was saved, he realized that there was nothing to be afraid of. Zhen-Zhen was too pretty and innocent at that time.

"Wifey, come… let's have some dinner first." Tristan gently pulled her as they walked towards the floating cottage.

"Tris! This is so nice. You even built this cottage for us." Zhen-Zhen felt so touched seeing the beautifully decorated floating cottage.

"My cousins helped me with this. I wanted to surprise you. Do you like it?"

"Yes! I really really like it! Thank you, Tris!" Zhen-Zhen pounced on him, feeling so happy and grateful. Tristan could only smile while stroking her hair.

This was the only start of his surprise but Zhen-Zhen felt so happy already. She really had a simple happiness. And she appreciated even small things. This was one of the traits he loved about his wife.

"Oh my, the food! These are my favorites!" Zhen-Zhen blurted out. "Did our mothers cook these for us?"

"Yes, they did it to treat us and give us delicious food during our romantic date. Father and Miho helped us in bringing the food here. This is the reason I asked you out today." Tristan admitted to her.

Zhen-Zhen was at a loss for words, her heart singing with joy and her stomach fluttering as if butterflies were inside. The twins even moved inside her tummy as they could feel the joy of their mother.

"Tristan… I-I… don't know what to say. I am overwhelmed by all of this. You are so sweet and romantic." Zhen-Zhen was smiling but her eyes were already teary.

"You deserve this… Zhen," Tristan softly mumbled, his eyes filled with love and devotion for the woman standing next to him. He cupped her face, caressing her cheeks before leaning over to kiss her forehead.

Zhen-Zhen's tears fell once again, not because of sadness but because of overwhelming happiness.

"Hmm, my wife is crying again…" Tristan kissed away those tears by showering gentle kisses on her eyes and face.

"These are tears of joy." She mumbled before holding his face.

Zhen-Zhen was the one who captured his lips, giving him a long deep passionate kiss which made them breathless.

This was one way of letting Tristan know how much she truly appreciated his surprise… how much she liked this and how much grateful she was to him.

When they parted from that kiss, both of them were gasping for air. There was a hint of yearning and desire in Tristan's eyes as he looked at her.

"Wifey… I love you so much that I am willing to do everything just to make you happy. I want you to feel special every day." Tristan rested his forehead on hers, still caressing her face.

"I love you more, Tristan."
