The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

Chapter 32 Preparing for the Auction House

At that moment, Chen Mengyao was writing a business plan for the auction house in her room when Ouyang Han walked in and was stunned by her focused writing. He stood quietly to the side, his gaze fixed on Chen Mengyao.

He thought to himself that every stroke of her pen seemed to contain endless tenderness and power, and her focused expression gave her a unique charm. As if containing endless tenderness and power, Ouyang Han gazed at her quietly, not daring to blink, afraid of missing a single moment.

When Chen Mengyao finished writing, she looked up and saw Ouyang Han enter and quietly watching her. She quickly stood up and walked towards him, saying, "Why didn't you call me when you came in?" Ouyang Han replied, "Seeing you writing so intently is particularly captivating. I didn't want to interrupt your train of thought, afraid of disturbing you." Hearing this, Chen Mengyao felt even more touched by the man's thoughtfulness, which warmed her heart. After exchanging a few words, Chen Mengyao led Ouyang Han directly into her spatial dimension, opened the computer, and searched for layout design blueprints for ancient auction houses, asking Ouyang Han to review them and give his opinion on which blueprint to choose.

Ouyang Han stared wide-eyed at Chen Mengyao and the laptop in her hand, capable of accessing so much information. A profound sense of awe washed over him. Although he had entered this mysterious space many times, each visit had been fleeting, like a passerby. Chen Mengyao had never given him a proper tour; he had only briefly seen it on the first day, and even then, he hadn't had time to examine everything closely, focusing instead on the weapons and cars, leaving no time to observe his surroundings. This laptop was undoubtedly a prime example of the many wondrous things he had overlooked.

Recalling his previous experiences in the space, Ouyang Han felt a pang of regret. Those fleeting moments had caused him to miss so many amazing discoveries. Now, watching Chen Mengyao skillfully operate the laptop, with various documents and images flashing on the screen, he felt as if he were in a completely new world.

Overwhelmed by the sheer number of different styles of drawings, he suggested, "Why don't we print them all out and let my brothers and sisters refer to them? More people means more ideas; pooling our wisdom might lead to a better solution." Chen Mengyao thought about it and agreed. So, she printed out all the drawings and related materials she found useful, and even listed out the personnel needed to open the auction house. Only then did she leave with Ouyang Han.

Just then, the steward came looking for Chen Mengyao. He had barely entered the courtyard when he saw Ouyang Han and Chen Mengyao coming out of their room together. He quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This old servant greets Your Highness and Your Highness." "Rise," Ouyang Han replied. "What brings you here?" The steward hurriedly said, "The Crown Princess has sent an invitation to the Princess, inviting her to a gathering at the East Palace tomorrow. She says the other princesses also wish to meet her." Chen Mengyao immediately recognized that the things she had brought back that night had piqued the curiosity of the Crown Princess and the others. "I understand. You may leave now!" Ouyang Han replied. The steward bowed and withdrew.

Ouyang Han said to Chen Mengyao, "I'll accompany you tomorrow. Don't be nervous. My sisters-in-law and brothers' wives are all very easy to get along with. Except for himself and my youngest sister, who aren't married yet, everyone else is already married. Only my second sister and fifth brother don't have children yet because they've been traveling around. Everyone else already has children. I really want to marry you as soon as possible. I'll go check on the house renovation in a couple of days and urge them again." Hearing Ouyang Han's anxious manner, Chen Mengyao couldn't help but find it amusing. They'd only known each other for a little over two months, and he was already in such a hurry to marry her. Was he afraid she'd run away?

So Chen Mengyao said, "Yichen, we've only known each other for less than three months, are you in such a hurry to marry me? Although I accepted your proposal, I'm not ready to get married so soon. Can you give me more time? Can you not rush them?" Ouyang Han was immediately unhappy: "Yaoyao, after all this time, haven't you seen my sincerity? Do you not trust me or my family?" Chen Mengyao quickly said, "No, I believe in your sincerity. I'm just not ready yet because I've always been alone and I'm not used to having someone else around. Can you give me more time? I promise you, after the house is renovated, you can come and give me the betrothal gifts, and then we'll choose a date to get married. In the meantime, I want to finalize the auction house deal."

Hearing Chen Mengyao say this, Ouyang Han finally felt relieved. He was so afraid that Chen Mengyao didn't trust him. He sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, whatever Yaoyao says." The two continued to linger in the room for a long time until dinner time before going out. After dinner, Chen Mengyao went back to her room, and Ouyang Han, of course, followed her, shamelessly demanding that she take him into the space again to learn more about its contents.

Chen Mengyao had no choice but to take him inside. Inside the space, she first selected gifts for the Crown Princess and the children. The Crown Princess and her family naturally received sanitary napkins and underwear, as well as skincare products and face masks from the shop. Each of them also received a small mirror and a full-length mirror, a solar-powered desk lamp, toys and snacks for the children, and several sets of various board games to keep them entertained. She also prepared writing implements and books of poetry and prose specifically for the eldest princess's husband. She also prepared a large quantity of white paper and Xuan paper for him. After selecting the gifts, she packed them into boxes according to the number of people, labeling each box with the recipient's name.

After choosing the gift, she took Ouyang Han on a tour of the supermarket inside the space, carefully explaining everything she saw. Ouyang Han's eyes widened, his heart filled with awe. This small supermarket seemed to hold an endless treasure trove. All sorts of novel and unusual items he had never seen before were neatly and orderly arranged. The beautifully packaged foods emitted an enticing aroma; even through the packaging, one could almost smell their deliciousness.

The household items were incredibly diverse, each with its own unique purpose. He could hardly believe that such a small space could contain such a rich variety of objects. If these things appeared in the outside world, they would surely cause a huge uproar.

He couldn't help but marvel; Chen Mengyao possessing such a magical space was practically like having her own little kingdom. The resources within were more than enough to handle any unexpected situation. At the same time, a slight worry lingered in his heart: would such a precious space attract the covetous eyes of others? However, when he looked at Chen Mengyao beside him, that worry quickly vanished. As long as she was there, he would ensure no one harmed her in the slightest, even at the cost of his life.

The two of them wandered around the space for a long time, until Ouyang Han had seen and understood all the products before they came out. They stayed in the space for a full two hours, while only two minutes had passed outside. Ouyang Han was even more shocked by the magic of this space.
