The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

The next day, the morning sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, and Chen Mengyao slowly opened her eyes around eight o'clock. This was her first time staying overnight at her grandfather's house, and she was inevitably a little reserved, afraid of leaving a bad impression on her family, so she didn't dare to stay up too late.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Han, already accustomed to waking up early, began his new day with great energy. After getting up, the two drank some spiritual spring water as usual before washing up and changing clothes.

After getting ready, they left their room together and went to the next room to see An'an. Upon entering, they saw the maids carefully feeding An'an formula. Seeing An'an's adorable appearance, both of them beamed with happiness.

Afterwards, they went to the dining room together to have breakfast. As soon as they entered the dining room, they found that their father, Chen Mingxuan, their mother, Situ Xiaoli, their eldest uncle and his wife, their second uncle and his wife, their fourth uncle, their fifth uncle, and other cousins ​​were already sitting there having breakfast.

Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han quickly greeted them one by one.

"Good morning, Uncle, Aunt, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Fourth Uncle and Aunt, Fifth Uncle and Aunt, and all my cousins!" Chen Mengyao said with a smile.

"Good morning!" everyone responded.

After exchanging greetings, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han sat down at the table. The servants quickly served them steaming hot porridge and brought them fragrant steamed buns.

At this moment, Grandpa Chen asked with concern, "Yao'er, Han'er, did you sleep well last night? Are you used to it?"

Chen Mengyao replied with a smile, "Grandpa, we slept quite well, there's nothing that bothers us."

Ouyang Han nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Grandpa, it's very comfortable here."

Chen Mengyao continued, "Grandpa, I once traveled to Shanghai with Yichen's family, but I never imagined that my family would actually be in Shanghai."

Grandpa Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "This is fate! This will be your home from now on." Then he looked at Chen Mengyao, "If you need anything, remember to tell the housekeeper. Also, if you're not used to waking up early, you can sleep in a little later; no one will mind."

Chen Mengyao said gratefully, "Thank you, Grandpa, I understand."

Uncle also smiled and said, "Mengyao, don't be shy here, just say whatever you need."

Chen Mengyao replied, "Okay, Second Uncle, I've got it."

Fourth Uncle said, "Yes, we're all family, no need to be so formal."

Chen Mengyao nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Fourth Uncle."

Everyone chatted amongst themselves, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere in the dining room.

Soon, the eldest uncle and his wife, the second uncle and his wife, the fourth uncle and his wife, the fifth uncle and his wife, and several cousins ​​finished breakfast. They hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Mengyao and prepared to go to work or school. Everyone moved quickly, and a busy atmosphere filled the restaurant.

"Take your time eating, there's no rush," everyone said.

Chen Mengyao smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood.

At this moment, Situ Xiaoli walked to Chen Mengyao's side and said softly, "I'll take you to see your maternal grandmother's house later. They also live in Shanghai, but in a different district. Although you already met them last night, you still need to pay them a visit; it's basic etiquette."

Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han responded in unison, "Understood."

Chen Mengyao pondered to herself: Although she had given her grandparents gifts last night, it was their first visit, so she should bring more gifts to show her thoughtfulness. She decided to carefully select some tonics, fruits, and snacks for the children when she returned to her own space. The tonics would help her grandparents recover, the fruits were a healthy choice, and the snacks would make her younger cousins ​​happy.

With this in mind, Chen Mengyao became even more determined. She knew that gifts were not just material expressions, but also a way of conveying feelings. She hoped that through these gifts, her maternal grandparents would feel her love and respect.

On the other side, Grandpa Chen said to Chen Mengyao with a face full of relief, "After drinking that water last night, I really feel much better. The aftereffects of that serious illness are also much better now. This water is truly amazing!"

Chen Mengyao smiled and said, "It's good that it works. I'll give you more later. You should keep drinking it; maybe you'll become younger and younger!"

The old man was so happy he couldn't stop smiling: "You have such a sweet tongue!"

Seeing the harmonious relationship between the grandfather and grandson, Ouyang Han, Chen Mingxuan, and Situ Xiaoli were filled with joy. They felt the warmth of family and the power of kinship.

On this warm morning, everyone enjoyed a delicious breakfast while sharing stories and laughter. The restaurant was filled with a warm, familial atmosphere, making everyone feel incredibly happy.

Chen Mengyao's interactions with the old man quickly warmed their relationship. The old man felt his granddaughter's care and filial piety, while Chen Mengyao cherished the time she spent with her grandfather even more.

After breakfast, everyone got busy. Chen Mengyao started preparing gifts for her grandmother's house, looking forward to the visit and hoping to bring more joy and warmth to her grandmother's family.

Chen Mengyao gently pushed open the door and stepped into her supermarket-like space. The dazzling array of goods momentarily overwhelmed her, but she quickly spotted her target—high-quality health supplements on the shelves. Crystal-clear bird's nest and nutrient-rich sea cucumbers caught her eye. She thought to herself that these precious supplements would surely revitalize her grandparents' bodies, slow down aging, and help them live longer and healthier lives.

Afterward, she went to the medicinal herb warehouse and carefully selected a number of precious herbs for future use. Next, she prepared over a dozen bottles of crystal-clear spiritual spring water. In the fruit section, she carefully selected some fresh and tempting fruits: bright red apples, golden bananas, fragrant oranges, and durians. She thought to herself, perhaps one of her uncles or aunts particularly loves durians.

Finally, she selected some snacks that the children loved, such as chocolate, potato chips, jelly, and children's milk. Thinking of the happy looks on her nieces and nephews' faces when they received these snacks, a warm smile crept onto her lips.

After selecting the gifts, Chen Mengyao carefully wrapped them all, placed them in an exquisite box, and then left the room. Situ Xiaoli, Chen Mingxuan, and Ouyang Han were already waiting in the living room for some time.

"Mengyao, are you finally ready?" Situ Xiaoli asked with a smile, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Okay, let's go." Chen Mengyao said, carrying a box full of gifts. Ouyang Han immediately stepped forward and took the box from her. "Let me carry it."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Mengyao walked lightly into An'an's room. The room was decorated warmly and lovelyly, full of childlike fun. An'an was sitting on her small bed, playing with her toys.

Chen Mengyao said gently to An'an, "Baby, we're going out now. How about these two older sisters come with you?" An'an looked up at Chen Mengyao with her big, round eyes and then nodded.

Chen Mengyao smiled and said to the two maids, "One of you hold An'an, and the other help carry her things." The two maids replied in unison, "Yes, Madam."

Once everything was ready, the group left the room. Because of the large number of people, Situ Xiaoli specifically chose the largest car in the house. This car was spacious and comfortable, large enough to accommodate everyone.

Everyone got into the car, and Situ Xiaoli sat in the driver's seat, skillfully starting the engine. The engine emitted a deep roar, and the car slowly drove out of the yard.

Along the way, the scenery outside the window was picturesque and breathtaking. Chen Mengyao sat quietly in her seat, gazing out the window and admiring the beautiful views. The trees on both sides of the road were lush and green, their leaves rustling in the breeze. Sunlight streamed through the car window, falling on Chen Mengyao's face, and she felt exceptionally happy. She was filled with anticipation for this trip.

A short while later, the four of them arrived at Chen Mengyao's maternal grandmother's house. The grandmother's house was located in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood, with shady trees, birdsong, and fragrant flowers—a very pleasant environment. Ouyang Han carried the gifts, and the four of them arrived at the grandmother's door and rang the doorbell.

The door opened, and Grandma saw them, a kind smile spreading across her face. "Oh, you've come! Come in, come in!" Grandma greeted them warmly.

Chen Mengyao, Ouyang Han, Situ Xiaoli, Chen Mingxuan, along with the maid carrying An'an and another maid carrying some things, entered. Upon entering the living room, they saw Grandpa sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper; some of the others had gone to work, while others were still in class.

"Grandpa, Grandma, we've come to see you," Chen Mengyao said with a smile.

"Good Yao'er, come and sit down!" Grandpa's face was full of a kind smile. He slowly put down the newspaper in his hand and then warmly greeted Chen Mengyao. Chen Mengyao quickly walked to her grandfather's side and obediently sat down.

Just then, Grandpa's gaze was suddenly drawn to the little baby being held by the maid standing to the side. He looked closely and realized it was his great-grandson, An'an. Grandpa's eyes lit up instantly, and without hesitation, he reached out his hands, eager to hold the adorable little guy.

Seeing this, the maidservant quickly and gently handed An'an to her grandfather. The grandfather carefully took An'an, as if holding a priceless treasure. He sat down, placed An'an steadily on his lap, and then said to An'an with a broad smile, "An'an's here too! Let Great-Grandpa hold you!"

An'an opened her big, round eyes and looked at her grandfather curiously. Her grandfather was amused by An'an's innocent and adorable appearance and laughed heartily. He couldn't help but kiss her little cheek, murmuring, "Oh, my little An'an is so cute!"

Looking at the adorable An'an, Grandpa's heart almost melted. He gently stroked An'an's little hand, feeling the warmth and softness of this little life.

After Chen Mengyao, Ouyang Han, Chen Mingxuan, and Situ Xiaoli took their seats on the sofa in the living room, Chen Mengyao smiled and nodded to Ouyang Han, gesturing for him to put the gift he was carrying on the floor. Ouyang Han understood and gently placed the gift on the living room carpet.

Chen Mengyao stood up, walked to the gift, squatted down, and opened the box. The box was filled with all sorts of items, including exquisite boxes of medicinal herbs and tonics, as well as some snacks and fruits.

Chen Mengyao first picked up a beautifully wrapped gift box, walked up to her grandmother, and handed the box to her grandmother with both hands, saying gently, "Grandma, this is a gift I specially chose for you and Grandpa. I hope you will like it." Grandma happily accepted the gift box and said with a smile, "Oh, Yao'er is so thoughtful. Grandma will definitely like it."

Grandma accepted the gifts and said with emotion, "Oh, Mengyao is so thoughtful, bringing so many gifts. You are so kind!"

Grandma opened the gift and saw the dazzling array of things inside. She praised them repeatedly, saying, "These are all good things! Especially this spiritual spring water. I felt much better after drinking it last time."

"Grandma, I found this water by chance. I brought you a lot today. Tell me when you've finished drinking it. Drinking more of it will make you younger," Chen Mengyao said playfully.

Grandpa laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Become younger? Does that mean I can go play a few more rounds of soccer?"

Everyone laughed at his words. Grandma also laughed and said, "Yes, maybe we could even do square dancing!"

Then, Chen Mengyao gently lifted the lid of the box, and an enticing aroma wafted out. She smiled and gently pointed to the dazzling array of snacks inside, saying to her grandmother, "Grandma, these are all for my nephews and nieces."
