The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

After finishing lunch, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han returned to their room and took the box of treasures to the living room. Then, Chen Mengyao took out her phone and dialed Lin Yuxin's number. "Hello, Lin Yuxin? We have something we'd like to ask you for help with," she said softly. "I have some treasures that I need to put up for auction at your friend's auction house, because I urgently need some funds."

Lin Yuxin's voice came from the other end of the phone: "No problem! You can come directly to the auction house and wait for me. I'll be there right now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mengyao turned to Ouyang Han and smiled, "Let's go, let's go!" So the two of them took their suitcases and went out.

To prevent any unexpected situations on the road, after getting into the car, Ouyang Han carefully stored the treasures and related documents in his personal space, deciding to take them out only when they were almost there. Along the way, Chen Mengyao couldn't help but say, "If these treasures can be successfully auctioned off, our funding problem will be solved." Ouyang Han nodded in response, "Yes, and I think these things are definitely valuable; they should fetch a good price."

About twenty minutes later, their car finally arrived at the auction house. While Chen Mengyao looked for a parking space, Ouyang Han took out treasures and documents from his spatial storage. After the car came to a stop, he and Chen Mengyao got out of the car, carrying the boxes.

As soon as they entered the auction house, they saw Lin Yuxin and his friend already waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing them, Lin Yuxin warmly greeted them, "You've finally arrived! This is my friend Jiang Zhihua, who is also the person in charge of this auction house." Then, he introduced him, "Brother Jiang, these are Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han, whom I mentioned earlier."

"Welcome!" Jiang Zhihua extended his hand to shake hands with the two men, then led them straight to his office.

As soon as he sat down, Ouyang Han quickly opened the box, displaying the treasures inside one by one and handing over detailed information. After Jiang Zhihua carefully read the information and examined the actual items, his eyes gradually widened in astonishment: "These...these things are too amazing! Where did they come from?" Although he was full of questions, he refrained from asking directly out of politeness.

Chen Mengyao, sensing his confusion, quickly explained, "My husband's family found this by chance while traveling. We never expected it to be so valuable." Hearing her explanation, Jiang Zhihua's doubts subsided slightly. He smiled and said, "That's incredibly lucky! Don't worry about it, leave it to us. These items will definitely fetch a high price. There's an auction tonight; why don't you come and take a look?"

Upon hearing the suggestion, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han exchanged a smile and replied in unison, "Okay, we'll definitely be there on time tonight!"

After everything was arranged, Jiang Zhihua personally took the baby and documents to register to ensure everything went smoothly. Lin Yuxin, on the other hand, stayed in the office and chatted with Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han about their recent situations.

"You've come at the right time. I was just about to talk to you about something," Lin Yuxin cleared his throat and continued, "I've already arranged the appointments for the music and dance teachers for you. They said they can spare two days each week to teach the children. What do you think?"

Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han exchanged a glance, then nodded in agreement: "No problem, that's good."

Lin Yuxin nodded in satisfaction and added, "As for the firefighters, policewoman, and paramedics mentioned earlier, I've also inquired through a friend of a friend. The final result is that we can spare a weekend to train your staff, so I'd like to ask when would be a convenient time for you?"

Chen Mengyao glanced down at her phone calendar, then looked up and replied, "This weekend, I guess." Ouyang Han chimed in, "That's right, the sooner the training is over, the sooner we can start working."

Actually, they were all thinking that Yongle's coming-of-age ceremony was next Monday, so that they could finish training the employees and still get back in time to attend her ceremony. Lin Yuxin seemed to sense something, but just smiled slightly and nodded to indicate that he understood.

As for the specific time to teach the children, the three discussed it and decided on Wednesdays and Thursdays every week. Lin Yuxin took out his notebook and wrote it down one by one, saying solemnly, "Understood, I'll tell my friends about this later."

Finally, Lin Yuxin brought up another important matter: "By the way, didn't you say you were planning to do other business? I've already helped contact some entrepreneurs and businessmen, but we're still coordinating when they'll be available to come over. I'll let you know in advance once it's confirmed."

Chen Mengyao said gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work. We will keep an eye on the progress."

After the conversation ended, the three got up to leave. Before they left, Jiang Zhihua rushed over, handed them back the completed registration documents, and emphasized again, "Please be sure to arrive on time for the auction at 7 p.m. tonight!"

"I definitely won't be late!" Chen Mengyao promised with a smile.

Back in the car, Chen Mengyao let out a long sigh of relief: "Finally, this matter has been explained clearly. Now we just have to wait for the auction results tonight." Ouyang Han said with a firm gaze: "No matter the outcome, as long as we've done our best, that's enough. After all, we've made the most thorough preparations."

After returning to the villa, Chen Mengyao sat down at her desk and began working busily. She picked up her phone, carefully typed a message, and sent it to all the company employees: "Dear colleagues, please come to the villa this weekend for a special learning activity. We will arrange training in fire safety and first aid, and we will also teach you how to deal with troublesome customers. Additionally, the women can learn some self-defense techniques and how to properly handle harassing customers. Please bring a change of clothes for the night so you don't have to travel back and forth. Those of you with cars will be responsible for picking everyone up."

Shortly after the message was sent, the employee group chat buzzed with excitement. Xiao Li was the first to reply: "President Chen, understood! We will definitely arrive on time." Immediately afterward, other employees chimed in: "Okay, President Chen!" "No problem, we'll definitely cooperate!" Chen Mengyao nodded in satisfaction at everyone's enthusiasm.

Then, Chen Mengyao turned to the driver team and sent them a separate message: "Please take some time these next few days to come to the villa and pick up some of our newly arrived colleagues to show them around the area, show them the most unique places, and help them adapt to the environment. You can also teach them some basic etiquette, since they come from a relatively remote and underdeveloped area and may not be familiar with the surroundings yet." The drivers quickly replied, "Understood, Ms. Chen! We will take good care of them."

After arranging these things, Chen Mengyao picked up her phone again and sent a WeChat message to Zhao Youze: "Youze, could you please help prepare the classrooms for music, dance, and handicrafts next Wednesday? Music and dance should be separate, with separate rooms for modern and classical instruments, as well as separate rooms for modern and classical dance. Please arrange the instruments according to their respective categories. As for the classrooms for calligraphy, painting, and chess, I still need to find someone to help with the setup. I'll let you know the progress later."

Upon receiving the message, Zhao Youze immediately replied, "Okay, Mr. Chen, don't worry, I'll arrange it as soon as possible! But do you need my help in finding the calligraphy, painting, and chess teachers you mentioned?"

Chen Mengyao replied, "No need, I'll find someone to help." After ending her chat with Zhao Youze, Chen Mengyao thought for a moment and decided to mobilize more resources. So, she opened her contacts, found several familiar media reporters, and sent each of them a long WeChat message: "Dear friends, I need your help! I'd like to find some masters in calligraphy, painting, chess, and Go for the children at the welfare home. I hope they can patiently teach the children. Don't worry about the cost at all; I'll even pay you an extra agency fee if you find suitable candidates. Most importantly, I hope these teachers not only have strong professional skills but also good character and a gentle personality, so that they can truly help the children."

Before long, media friends responded one after another: "Ms. Chen, don't worry, leave this to us! We will notify you as soon as we find a suitable candidate." "Your kindness is truly admirable, we will definitely do our best to help!" Hearing these responses, Chen Mengyao felt warm inside, feeling that her efforts were leading her step by step to success.

After settling everything properly, Chen Mengyao felt the need to rest for a while. After all, she planned to attend an auction that evening. If the precious treasures she had just acquired fetched their desired prices, she had already silently decided to treat Lin Yuxin and Jiang Zhihua to a lavish dinner to express her gratitude. Especially Lin Yuxin, who had put in so much effort for her, deserved a proper welcome.

On the other hand, Ouyang Han chose a different way to use this time. He went straight back to his study and continued to immerse himself in learning the theory for the fourth part of his driving test. His goal was very clear: to pass the test on his first try through thorough preparation, thus avoiding repeated efforts and trouble. Although their choices differed, both were filled with their own focus and perseverance.

So they went their separate ways and began to act according to their own plans. Chen Mengyao took a short break to recharge for the evening's auction; while Ouyang Han buried himself in his computer, working hard to overcome the difficulties of the driver's license theory test.

Time always slips away silently through our fingers, leaving us no time to savor it. Chen Mengyao woke up around four in the afternoon, rubbing her eyes, a surge of anticipation welling up inside her. There was an auction tonight, and the items up for auction were precisely those she had carefully selected. She was eager to witness firsthand how these treasures would be sought after, and thus had made preparations well in advance.

To look her best for the event, Chen Mengyao took a hot shower and changed into an elegant and charming long dress. The dress shimmered like stars, enhancing her outstanding气质 (qi zhi - inherent quality/temperament). She also meticulously applied exquisite makeup, every stroke perfectly placed, highlighting her beauty while appearing natural and graceful. Finally, she paired it with a pair of noble and elegant high heels, making her look radiant. As she descended the stairs with light and graceful steps, the entire space seemed to light up.

At the same time, Ouyang Han emerged from his study. The moment he saw Chen Mengyao, his gaze was instantly captivated. He froze, staring at her intently, her attire utterly mesmerizing. After a moment, he snapped out of his reverie and suggested with a smile, "Let's go out for dinner first, take a walk, and then slowly head to the auction." His voice was gentle and sincere, clearly hoping to use this opportunity to spend some precious time alone with his beloved.

Chen Mengyao smiled slightly and nodded in agreement. It had indeed been a long time since they had enjoyed each other's company so purely. Their busy daily lives had left them no time to slow down, and tonight might be the perfect opportunity to rediscover romance and warmth. So, they smiled at each other, walked hand in hand out the door, and welcomed their beautiful evening.

As night fell, Chen Mengyao drove her car with Ouyang Han to a nearby stylish restaurant. This restaurant was renowned for its exquisite decor and unique cuisine; the two entered and were immediately enveloped in a warm yet elegant atmosphere. After being seated, they ordered several specialty dishes and began discussing the upcoming auction. As providers of the auction items, they were filled with anticipation for the rare treasures to be displayed—items that were not only priceless but also extremely rare. Chen Mengyao believed that the allure of these items would attract numerous wealthy bidders, thus raising substantial funds for her various ventures.

As the dishes were served, the two ate and chatted, their conversation gradually shifting to their business plans in Guang City. They discussed their future development in detail and envisioned building a brighter future together. Chen Mengyao also mentioned her plans after returning to Dongling Kingdom—once her modern business was on track, she hoped to take some time to explore the beautiful landscapes of Dongling Kingdom with Ouyang Han. Since transmigrating there, she had been busy with various affairs every day and had never had the chance to properly appreciate its scenery. Ouyang Han smiled slightly and promised to take her to every beautiful spot in Dongling Kingdom, bringing some relaxation and enjoyment to her busy life.

Time flew by in pleasant conversation, and the meal lasted a full half hour. After paying the bill, the two got back into their car and headed to the pedestrian street near the auction house. Strolling along the brightly lit streets, they frequently stopped to observe and look for small items suitable to take back to Dongling Kingdom for auction. Although these things weren't expensive in modern society, they were novel and exotic to the people of Dongling Kingdom. Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to find some interesting trinkets, such as vintage-style pocket watches and handcrafted glass ornaments. These little items, while inexpensive, were highly distinctive and would be perfect for becoming sought-after commodities in the Dongling Kingdom market.

Besides selecting goods, the two also bought quite a few local snacks, storing them in their spatial storage. Looking at their watches, it was nearly seven o'clock, and the auction was drawing ever closer. So, they decided not to linger and turned to head towards the auction. Their laughter echoed through the night, their mutual understanding and trust making the journey exceptionally pleasant.
