Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1214: Her Majesty the Empress (7)

The two brothers checked for themselves and were basically satisfied. Little Mingli only wanted his own small pillow because he wasn’t used to sleeping on strange pillows. Little prince charming, to put it simply, had the same picky habits as his big white dog dad.

Lingxin, his essential travel accessory—books.

This child, only three years old, has already read the Four Great Classical Novels. Now the books he’s reading, apart from the Encyclopaedia Britannica, are all from the bookshelves at home where his mom, Gu Jinrong, keeps her books.

When Ou Yanan took the two children to the boarding gate, they ran into someone who was going to join them for the trip. Although she had heard that this person would come and travel with them, seeing them in person still took Ou Yanan by surprise.

In front of him was Zhao Mengjin, who had become even more beautiful, or more precisely, had developed a more mature feminine charm. After all, time flies, and like men, women grow to become more refined with age.

Three years ago, Zhao Mengjin was slightly unsophisticated, often seen with her hair in a ponytail, looking like a student who hadn’t graduated from college yet.

Zhao Mengjin now had her hair styled in a bun with aristocratic hairpins, exuding elegance and fashion, shedding much of her youthful naïveté.

Ou Yanan wasn’t sure if she was married now, but given she had come alone, it seemed that she was not married yet. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

This showed that three years ago, she really didn’t have any intentions of dating him or getting married. Indeed, before finding her mother, Zhao Mengjin was absolutely not going to marry, and now the Zhao Family understood her thoughts and did not plan to pressure her.

While the other party was sizing her up, Zhao Mengjin was also cautiously scrutinizing the man she hadn’t seen for three years. In her eyes, this was actually the Ou Family’s young master from a poor Gu Family. Since they first met, the faint sorrow between his brows had never disappeared. She almost wondered if he would ever smile in this lifetime? If there truly was mirth, who could work such a miracle?

Now it seemed, she had overthought it. She quickly witnessed the miracle unfolding before her.

Little Mingli grabbed Ou Yanan’s hand and said, "Uncle, I want a hug."

"Tired, aren’t you?" Ou Yanan picked up the little monkey and asked.

Little Mingli whispered into his ear, "Can I call you Uncle privately?"

That single sentence brought an involuntary smile to Ou Yanan’s face, whether he noticed it or not.

All Zhao Mengjin could do was stare in disbelief, internally exclaiming, this nephew and niece are quite something.

At that moment, Little Mingli’s eyes shifted onto her face, "Sister, why do you keep looking at Uncle’s face?"

Zhao Mengjin’s face suddenly felt as if pricked by a needle, turning crimson.

Ou Yanan felt the awkwardness too, turning his face away.

Lingxin placed his little hand over his own eyes, knowing his brother was playing dumb again and was starting to toy with people. He could only pity those people as they were bound to be outplayed by his brother once more.

"It’s not time yet." Zhao Mengjin finally found the words, not daring to look at Ou Yanan’s face, and pointed to the McDonald’s in the airport, saying, "Let’s buy some food for the children and fill their stomachs first, what do you think?"

"Hmm." Due to her speaking, Ou Yanan finally found a moment to breathe.

The atmosphere eased up as Zhao Mengjin took Lingxin’s hand and started chatting with them about family matters, "Where is your mom?"

"My mom is the Empress," Little Mingli eagerly replied.

The monkey’s way of speaking is erratic and most people find it hard to understand. For the past three years, Zhao Mengjin, who had little contact with the monkey, was equally confused. Ou Yanan had spent more time with the child recently, so he understood a bit better and explained to her what was going on, "Their mom is very busy. Even when she comes to the hospital to see the kids, people are constantly visiting her. Moreover, Mingxin’s employees all know she’s the real boss, so privately, the hospital staff call her Her Majesty the Empress."
