The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han left the shop hand in hand, boarded the carriage, and headed towards the mansion. In the carriage, Chen Mengyao warmly invited Ouyang Han to stay in her room that night, as she was returning to the Grand Tutor's family the next day, and their opportunities to meet before the wedding might not be so frequent. Fortunately, however, they now had cell phones, so even if they couldn't meet in person that night, they could stay in touch via video calls.

Ouyang Han accepted Chen Mengyao's invitation without hesitation. He also wanted to use these few days to find the talent Chen Mengyao needed. Staying in her room tonight would give them more time to chat and understand what kind of talent she required, so he could arrange everything for her as soon as possible.

The carriage slowly made its way to the Chen residence. Along the way, the two were immersed in a sweet atmosphere, as if the whole world consisted only of them. Chen Mengyao's heart raced; she couldn't wait to spend this special night with Ouyang Han.

The gates of the Chen residence were wide open, revealing a brightly lit mansion. Servants busily prepared dinner, and Chen Mengyao, arm in arm with Ouyang Han, walked through the courtyard to her boudoir.

Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han slowly entered the room. After gently closing the door, Chen Mengyao waved her hands, and a flash of light instantly transported Ouyang Han into the space.

Chen Mengyao smiled and took a clean, soft bath towel from the side, handing it to Ouyang Han. She said gently, "Go take a good shower first and relax." She then patted Ouyang Han's shoulder lightly.

Ouyang Han took the towel, nodded, and walked towards the bathroom. Chen Mengyao turned and went to the wardrobe, carefully rummaging through it. Soon, she found a set of loose, comfortable men's pajamas, took them out, and placed them on the bed, intending to have Ouyang Han change into them after his shower.

After arranging everything, Chen Mengyao sat quietly on the edge of the bed, patiently waiting for Ouyang Han. Time passed slowly, and after about 15 minutes, the bathroom door finally opened, and Ouyang Han emerged wrapped in a towel. His hair was wet, and water droplets slid down his cheeks, making him look exceptionally charming.

Chen Mengyao quickly got up to greet him, handed him the pajamas she had prepared beforehand, and said softly, "Hurry up and change your clothes, don't catch a cold." Ouyang Han took the pajamas and quickly put them on.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Mengyao gracefully picked up the clothes that had been prepared beforehand, turned around, and slowly walked into the bathroom. Time passed by, and about half an hour later, accompanied by a slight sound, the bathroom door was gently pushed open, and Chen Mengyao emerged like a lotus flower rising from the water.

At this moment, she still exuded a faint scent of water vapor and shower gel. Her wet hair was casually draped over her shoulders, adding to her alluring charm. Just then, as Chen Mengyao reached for the hairdryer placed to dry her hair, a long, strong hand grabbed it first.

It turned out to be Ouyang Han, who had been silently watching over her. He smiled and took the hair dryer from Chen Mengyao's hand, gently asking, "Can I help you?" Chen Mengyao was slightly taken aback, then a blush rose to her face, and she said softly, "Hmm... okay then, but you have to press this button to turn it on." So, under Chen Mengyao's careful guidance, Ouyang Han successfully turned on the hair dryer, and a warm and gentle breeze immediately began to blow.

Ouyang Han carefully aimed the hairdryer at Chen Mengyao's hair, gently wielding the tool as if handling a priceless work of art. His movements were tender and delicate, as if afraid of hurting the beautiful woman before him. As the hairdryer hummed, Chen Mengyao's hair gradually dried, strands of silky smooth hair swaying in the wind, radiating a captivating shine.

After setting down the hairdryer, Chen Mengyao led Ouyang Han out of the mysterious and spacious area and they both nestled into the soft, comfortable embrace of the large bed. In this tranquil and warm moment, Ouyang Han seized the rare opportunity and quietly inquired about Chen Mengyao's requirements for the talent she would need in the future, so that he could begin making arrangements as soon as possible.

Chen Mengyao tilted her head slightly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation and hope for the future. She slowly said, "Regarding personnel, I first need three people to manage my buffet restaurant, Western restaurant, and jewelry store respectively. As for the management of Kenxiang Chicken, you will be fully responsible for it. As for the selection of people to manage the restaurants, I hope they have in-depth knowledge and unique insights into food, so as to ensure that the quality of our food remains consistent. As for the management of the jewelry store, I think the person you recommended to me last time, Zheng Ze, is very suitable for the position. He not only has extensive knowledge of jewelry, but also has keen market insight."

In addition, I need some artisans who can make jewelry. Last time at the villa, my second brother and fourth brother both mentioned some talented people who are quite skilled in this area. I hope you can help me find them. I will provide them with some unique design drawings. At the same time, I also hope they can use their creativity to design some jewelry that is both beautiful and practical, such as cleverly embedding small hidden weapons like silver needles in bracelets, just in case.

Of course, talent from the research department is also indispensable. I need people who excel at researching all sorts of novel gadgets and mechanical technologies. They not only need solid professional knowledge but also a spirit of exploration and innovation. At the same time, they need to be open to new things and keep up with the times. Such talent may be difficult to find, but you can take your time searching; I believe suitable candidates will eventually emerge. You can discuss this with your brothers; those who participated in the renovation work last time are fully capable of joining our construction team. As for the other personnel, once I've compiled a detailed list specifying the requirements, you can then search for suitable candidates according to that list.

We can use several methods to find these people! For example, we can post recruitment notices widely throughout the country to let more people know about our needs. Additionally, we can make full use of your local networks to conduct a covert search. With this two-pronged approach, I'm sure we can find outstanding talent who meet our requirements, injecting new vitality and creativity into our department!

In addition, I have a bold idea: to establish our own chamber of commerce. This organization will specialize in training people for various businesses, comprehensively enhancing their capabilities from business strategy and marketing to financial management and interpersonal skills. However, this can wait until after our wedding. After all, I will have more time and energy to focus on advancing this project after the wedding.

Regarding the food service professionals I mentioned earlier, I hope you can help me find them as soon as possible. Because after we get married, I'll need to start explaining their specific job duties and requirements. I believe that with your help, I will definitely be able to build an efficient, professional, and dynamic team.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Han's eyes flashed with approval. He gently took Chen Mengyao's hand and said tenderly, "Don't worry, I will find all these people while you are staying at the Grand Tutor's residence. Just stay here peacefully and wait for me to come and take you home. I will inform you via WeChat as soon as I find these talents. Moreover, I will definitely come to see you when I have free time. You can also invite a few of your good girlfriends to visit you, or go out with them to relax. Enjoy your time during this period."

After hearing Ouyang Han's words, Chen Mengyao nodded gently, a tender smile blooming on her face. She said, "Yes, I will. I'll invite them out for a stroll and enjoy this wonderful time. By the way, I suddenly remembered a place, that villa. The scenery there is picturesque and the environment is pleasant. I'd like to invite them there and personally barbecue for them so they can taste the delicious food I've made. Do you have time? If so, you could also bring your parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law, and the whole family could go for a lively trip. Of course, if you and your brothers and sisters are all free, you can come along too; the more the merrier! And Father and Mother, they're so busy usually, they should take some time to relax. And Mother and the other concubines, they're usually too bored being confined to the palace. Why don't we invite them to come along too, so they can also enjoy some family time?"

Ouyang Han nodded slightly upon hearing Chen Mengyao's suggestion, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. He thought for a moment and then said, "This is indeed a good idea. I will ask them about their schedule after court tomorrow and let you know then. Don't worry, I will do my best to arrange it well."

"Okay," Chen Mengyao replied softly, a happy smile on her face.

Then, she rolled her eyes slightly, as if she had thought of another topic, and asked Ouyang Han, "I wonder if there are any results from the nationwide survey on climate and soil conditions that I asked you to do last time? It feels like so much time has passed, and I'm getting impatient to promote those vegetable and fruit seeds so that more people can taste their deliciousness."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Han frowned slightly, then replied, "I've received some replies, but some places haven't received them yet because of the long distances. But don't worry, I will keep a close eye on the progress of this matter, and I'll let you know once I've received all the replies. Don't worry about these things for now; we can prepare properly after the wedding. You should rest and have fun these next few days, and don't overwork yourself. You've been incredibly busy with business and various other trivial matters lately, and I feel very sorry for you. After we get married, I will definitely ask the kitchen to prepare some nourishing soups to help you recover."

Hearing this, Chen Mengyao felt a warm current well up in her heart. She smiled and said, "You're always so considerate. With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything. By the way, how are the wedding preparations going? Is there anything I can help with?" Ouyang Han gently took her hand and said tenderly, "Everything is almost ready. You don't need to worry. You just need to be my bride with peace of mind. I'll handle everything else." The two smiled at each other, their eyes filled with anticipation and hope for the future.

Then, as if they had opened a floodgate, the two poured out their hearts, sharing their everyday stories and insights. From childhood anecdotes to the little things in their lives, and their hopes and plans for the future, every topic made them chat with great enjoyment. Their laughter rose and fell, sounding especially pleasant in the quiet night. This was the first time they had opened their hearts so openly and honestly, exchanging their thoughts and feelings so candidly. Usually, they were both busy in their own fields, rushing around for a living, rarely having time to sit down and have a proper chat about these mundane matters. But tonight, they finally had such a rare opportunity to put aside all their worries and pressures and fully enjoy this precious peace and warmth.

As time passed and the night deepened, their conversation continued unabated. They seemed drawn together by an invisible force, unwilling to end this precious dialogue. Only when Chen Mengyao's eyelids began to droop did she reluctantly conclude their pleasant chat. With a satisfied and happy smile, she slowly closed her eyes and drifted peacefully into sleep. Ouyang Han, meanwhile, once again held his beloved tightly, feeling her warmth and breath. His heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of peace and contentment, as if the whole world had become a better place.

He eagerly awaited his wedding, for then he would see her every night before he went to sleep. He imagined spending every morning and evening with her, walking hand in hand through every stage of life. This anticipation and longing filled his heart with endless happiness and sweetness.
