Chapter 202 The "Supermarket" Plan of the Small Giants
At the gate of Prince Yong's mansion, the tall figure had a hint of imperceptible fatigue, but when he saw the figure jumping towards him, he instantly softened.
Nangong Ye stretched out his long arms, accurately pulled his little wife into his arms after not seeing her for a day, and hugged her tightly. His chin rubbed against the top of her fragrant hair, and his voice was muffled, full of grievance:
"Ning'er~"
The last syllable was drawn out, like a large dog that had been forgotten at home by its owner.
Today he was entangled in some border military affairs and was unable to go to Tiangong Pavilion to witness his big and small treasures killing people everywhere, as well as the pitiful appearance of his daughter who was forced to work. He felt very regretful.
Nangong Jingxing and Nangong Linglong, who got out of the car behind them, were already accustomed to this scene. The brother and sister looked at each other and tacitly agreed not to disturb their parents who were hugging each other.
Nangong Jingxing, like a little adult, took his sister's hand steadily and whispered:
"Come on, Linglong, let's go back and review our lessons first."
By the way, leave some space for the father who needs some affection.
Nangong Linglong nodded obediently and followed her brother into the mansion. However, she couldn't help but look back at her parents who were clinging to each other, and muttered softly:
"Brother, don't Daddy and Mommy get tired of it? It's like this every day. The scripts for the Lucky Star Theater aren't updated as frequently as they show off their affection."
Nangong Jingxing raised his eyebrows, looking mature and saying, "You don't understand this, do you?" He lowered his voice and explained using the words he had just learned from his brother-in-law, Shen Xiaoyun:
"You don't understand this, right? This is called emotional investment and risk hedging! Mother should make Father happy first.
Next time she wants to do something out of the ordinary, or wants some new and unique treasure, the probability of her father agreeing will greatly increase! This is called increasing the fault tolerance rate and obtaining priority! "
Xiao Linglong seemed to understand what he said, blinked her eyes, and suddenly realized:
"Oh! No wonder Mother always says that Daddy is the easiest to trick... No, he's the easiest to coax!"
She immediately drew inferences:
"Just like at today's auction, those ladies and young ladies here all came for Mother's face. They said whatever Mother wanted, they would use it, even if it was gold! This is called... the opinion leader effect!"
"right!"
Nangong Jingxing nodded approvingly, then stroked his chin and looked thoughtfully at his parents who were still hugging each other not far away, and raised a deeper philosophical question:
"So, tell me, since Daddy likes Mommy's face so much, is that what we call lust?"
Xiao Linglong tilted her head and thought seriously:
"Hmm...it's possible! It's written in the storybook!"
The two little guys thought they spoke very quietly, but they didn't know that their parents had extraordinary hearing and heard every word of the conversation!
Dongfang Yuning's shoulders were shaking from trying so hard to hold back his laughter, and he buried his face in Nangong Ye's chest and laughed muffledly.
The veins on Nangong Ye's forehead jumped three times happily!
These two little bastards!
He is really his biological child!
Digging up their father's past every day!
You even learned the word "lustful"?!
He must have been reading too many storybooks, or he learned bad things from that kid Shen Xiaoyun!
He was about to teach the two ignorant brats a lesson, but Dongfang Yuning in his arms raised his head, smiling like a flower, and his pair of watery peach blossom eyes were shining with a cunning light.
She stretched out her little hand, held Nangong Ye's still infuriatingly handsome face, and kissed him several times, her voice sweet and sticky:
"Husband, you've worked hard. It's all Ning'er's fault for not letting you go out and play. Ning'er will definitely make it up to you tonight, okay?"
The soft words and the proactive kiss instantly extinguished Nangong Ye's little anger.
He loves this the most!
All the grievances and complaints from the child were thrown out of the window in an instant, and the only thing left in his mind was the compensation promised by his baby!
He loved to push things further, so he immediately climbed up the pole, tightened his arms, hugged her more tightly, lowered his head and whispered in her ear:
"Okay! Ning'er said it! The benefits can only be more, not less! Tonight... husband must take back the money with interest..."
That tone, that look, was so ambiguous that it could be drawn.
Dongfang Yuning smiled like a successful little fox, with curved eyebrows and eyes. She deliberately stroked his Adam's apple with her fingertips, and her voice was soft and seductive:
"Of course~ But before that, husband~, why don't we go back to the room... and have a good chat? It's been a while since I had a deep conversation with you~"
Nangong Ye's scalp suddenly felt numb!
His intuition told him that his baby's sudden initiative definitely had bad intentions!
It must be related to what those two little bastards just said!
But...what can I do?
Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, and it is a pit dug by his baby, he has to jump in willingly!
Even if it is broken by his own baby... he still has to coax it carefully!
"good!"
Nangong Ye answered decisively, picked up Dongfang Yuning and carried him horizontally, then walked towards the main courtyard with big strides, his steps so urgent as if there was a dog chasing him.
As soon as he entered the room, Nangong Ye kicked the door shut and bolted it.
Just as he was about to execute the little devil in his arms on the spot and ask for his benefits, Dongfang Yuning jumped out of his arms like a slippery fish.
She turned around, put her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and smiled innocently and mischievously. Her big, expressive eyes stared straight at him, and she spoke in a long voice:
"Husband~~Jingxing and Linglong just said...that you were attracted to me because of your beauty? Hmm?"
really!
Waiting for him here!
Nangong Ye looked at the cunning and smart person in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat.
Even after being together for so many years and having a grown-up child, every time she acted naughty or coquettish, that look on her face could still accurately hit the softest spot in his heart, making him lose his temper.
He took a step forward, trapping her between himself and the door, his tall body casting a shadow that completely enveloped her.
He lifted her chin with his fingertips, forcing her to look into his deep eyes, which were filled with undisguised affection and desire.
"So what?"
Nangong Ye spoke, his voice was low and magnetic, with unquestionable dominance,
"That day, when I returned victoriously to the imperial court, at the palace banquet, I saw you for the first time. You were wearing a goose-yellow dress. You looked like a frightened fawn, or a little fox with evil intentions. Your eyes were startlingly bright..."
He recalled the scene when they first met, and his eyes became gentle and distant:
"At that time, my husband felt that this bustling palace and this vast landscape seemed to have instantly become a void in the background. In the whole world, only you remained."
His fingertips caressed her delicate cheeks, and his tone became more firm and deep:
"Ning'er, be it lust or love at first sight, I, Nangong Ye, will be yours from that moment on! In this life, the next, and for all eternity to come, you will only be mine!"
After saying that, he didn't give her any chance to interrogate or tease her. He suddenly lowered his head and fiercely grabbed those two red lips that were slightly opened in surprise.
This kiss, carrying a day's accumulated longing, the anger and shame of being teased by the child, and the deep affection and possessiveness that have become more mellow with the passage of time, is hot and lingering, and cannot be refused.
Dongfang Yuning originally wanted to tease him again, but she was quickly defeated by his attack, and she leaned on him softly, responding to his enthusiasm.
Yes, so what if I’m tempted by beauty?
She was obsessed with his beauty, and he was obsessed with her face, they were the same.
More importantly, behind this initial attraction is the love and tacit understanding that has settled over the long years and is deep in the bones.
Her husband, Prince Yong, was a ruthless and powerful man in public, but in front of her, he was always a man who would feel wronged, jealous, and get angry at children, but loved her as his life.
After the kiss, both of them were a little breathless. Dongfang Yuning leaned in his arms, her cheeks flushed, her eyes moving, and she hit him coquettishly:
"overbearing!"
Nangong Ye chuckled softly and hugged her contentedly, feeling the warmth and softness in his arms. He felt that life was perfect like this.
His baby is still absolutely beautiful, lively, and mischievous. She can easily stir up all his emotions, making him feel so soft-hearted that he wishes he could hold her in his heart and pamper her forever.
At the same time, in the princess's mansion next door, the scene was quite different.
Nangong Jingxing took his sister Nangong Linglong by the hand and found his cousin Shen Nianchen, who was working hard on the account book in the study.
Seven-year-old Shen Nianchen looked at the little elders who came in hand in hand, sighed helplessly, stood up resignedly, and saluted politely:
"Nianchen has met his uncle and aunt."
He was obviously two years older than the two of them and a lot taller, but this generation gap was like a mountain that forced him to bow his head.
Nangong Jingxing waved his hand maturely:
"No need to be polite. Nian Chen, I have a big business that will make you rich. Do you want to do it together?"
Shen Nianchen's eyes lit up instantly!
He perfectly inherited his father, Shen Xiaoyun's keen sense of money. When he heard about the big deal, he immediately threw away his worries about seniority and asked impatiently:
"What big deal? Uncle, please tell me!"
Nangong Linglong rushed to answer, her face flushed with excitement:
"We want to open a shop! Our own shop!"
"Open a shop? What do you sell?"
Shen Nianchen was curious. Tiangong Pavilion and Yueji Pavilion were already profitable enough. What else did his uncle and aunt want to do?
Nangong Jingxing puffed out his chest and uttered two words in a resounding voice:
"supermarket!"
"supermarket?"
Shen Nianchen looked bewildered;
"What is that? A supermarket?"
"No, no!"
Nangong Jingxing imitated the storyteller, shaking his head and began to explain, instilling the concepts he had heard from his mother's heart:
"A supermarket is... a huge grocery store! But it's completely different from the stores we have today!"
He pulled Shen Nianchen to the desk, picked up a pen and paper and started drawing:
"Look, let's build a really, really big shop! No counters! We'll put all the goods in rows and rows of shelves! Just like bookshelves, but more sturdy!"
"Then sort out all the things you want to sell—food, daily necessities, toys, clothes... and place them neatly on the shelves! Everything is clearly marked with a price!"
Nangong Linglong added:
"When customers come in, we give them a... a basket! Or a small cart! They can push the cart themselves and wander around the store! Look around! If they see something they like or need, they can take it off the shelf and put it in the basket!"
Shen Nianchen's eyes widened as he heard this:
"Take it yourself? Then...what if someone steals it?"
Nangong Jingxing had an expression that said, "I've thought of this a long time ago."
"So we need someone to watch over our door! We'll set up a checkout counter at the exit! After customers have chosen their items, they'll come to the exit and we'll take out the items from their baskets one by one and calculate the payment! Wouldn't that make it harder for theft?"
"and!"
Nangong Jingxing became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Shopping is so much fun this way! You can just wander around and pick whatever you want without having to constantly have the clerk bring you this and that! Especially the ladies, they're sure to love the feeling of choosing for themselves!"
Shen Nianchen was completely shocked by this unprecedented business model!
He calculated quickly in his mind:
It saves a lot of staff labor costs, stimulates customers' consumption desire, and improves the shopping experience... This is simply a genius idea!
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Shen Nianchen slammed the table excitedly,
"Uncle! Aunt! This deal must be done! Count me in! I'll provide the money, the labor, and the space!"
Thus, Linglong Wanxiang Supermarket, the most prestigious supermarket in Yanmao Port in the future and controlled by three business tycoons with an average age of less than seven years old, reached a preliminary strategic cooperation intention in the study of the Princess Mansion that evening.
One can imagine what kind of sensation and craze this unprecedented supermarket will cause in Yanmao Port when it actually opens!
At this moment, in the main courtyard of Prince Yong's mansion, Nangong Ye was proving to his baby with his own actions that he was not just attracted by her beauty, but also loved her deeply...
The night is still long, and the story of Yanmao Port becomes more and more exciting due to the activities of the big and small funny people.
