CEO’s Contract Sweet Wife

3It seemed that he wanted to see Wen Zhixia before returning to the royal family, and it was also time to see his father. Unknowingly, he had already been away from Z Kingdom for so long, taking the prince's unique clothing from the guards.    

    

When Cheng Tian was wearing it, his demeanor as a prince was completely obvious. When he was very young, he saw this identity of a prince's uniform, so he became interested in the design of the clothing.    

    

He had been out searching for the news about his missing brother Ke Li all these years, but he didn't manage to find anything. Now that he came back and didn't see Ke Li, it was really weird.    

    

"Prince of Heaven, the king is waiting for you at your villa."    

    

Cheng Tian's guard stood aside and bowed respectfully.    

    

"I understand. Let's go over now."    

    

On his first day back in Z Country, only Lu Yao and Wen Zhixia had gone to meet Ke Li and Rong Jian. Until today, Cheng Tian had not seen his long-lost brother.    

    

As the black Rolls Royce entered the royal family, Cheng Tian sat in the car and looked at everything in front of him. It seemed that nothing had changed much when he had left, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.    

    

He was a gentle person.    

    

Ye Zichen walked into his mansion and saw Ao Lai, who was sitting in the hall.    

    

Wu Tie knelt down on one knee, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed to Ao Lai respectfully. In Z Country, this was already the most solemn of etiquette.    

    

"Father."    

    

To Ao Lai, Cheng Tian was actually full of guilt, because Cheng Tian had always been pursuing the so-called dream outside, rather than accompanying Ao Lai and helping him to share his busy state affairs.    

    

When he returned and saw Ao Lai, Cheng Tian suddenly noticed the white hair on Ao Lai's forehead.    

    

"I beg of royal father to forgive my willfulness, and not to be filial to my father's side."    

    

Hearing Cheng Tian's voice, Ao Lai stood up and turned around to look at Cheng Tian. Amongst Ao Lai's three sons, Cheng Tian was the most gentle, but he was full of passion for his dreams.    

    

From the moment he heard Cheng Tian speak out his dream, he had already decided to fulfill Cheng Tian's wish. Thus, he never blamed Cheng Tian, but now he watched his sons return one by one.    

    

A gratified smile surfaced on Ao Lai's face.    

    

"Are you finally willing to come back? "It's good that you're back."    

    

Hearing Ao Lai's aged voice, Cheng Tian stood up and walked to Ao Lai's side. He looked into Ao Lai's eyes and said seriously.    

    

"Father, this time, I will come back and accompany you and mother. I will not leave Z country."    

    

He knew that even if Ao Lai never asked him to come back, every parent would want their own children by their side, not to mention Ao Lai, the king of a country.    

    

Seeing Cheng Tian's serious look, Ao Lai nodded.    

    

"Have you seen Ke Li?"    

    

Ao Lai was originally full of guilt towards Ke Li. Now that he saw Ke Li grow up to be so outstanding, Ao Lai couldn't help but want to make up for Ke Li. However, this matter has been on Ao Lai's mind for a long time.    

    

He needed to discuss this with Cheng Tian before making a decision.    

    

"Not yet. I heard that third brother is a very outstanding person. I'm really looking forward to seeing eldest brother when I return. I went to look for him in his villa, but I couldn't find his whereabouts."    

    

On the first day that Cheng Tian returned to Z Nation, he had already gone to the villa of the first prince of Z Nation, Li Xin. However, he could not find Li Xin and was unsure about his whereabouts.    

    

In his mind, Li Xin was a very decisive person and had always been nurtured as the future king of Z Country.    

    

When Li Xin was mentioned, Ao Lai's expression became extremely dark.    

    

"Don't mention that unfilial son anymore. I'm not dead yet and he wants to scheme for power to usurp my position, especially after Ke Li came back. When he saw that I was in pain a bit, he couldn't hold it in anymore."    

    

"He has already been taken into custody by me. I only wanted to preserve the prestige of the royal family and keep it a secret from the public."    

    

Disappointment appeared on Ao Lai's face. He had put in a lot of effort for Li Xin and truly wanted to pass the throne to Li Xin before Ke Li came back.    

    

Li Xin had always wanted to inherit the throne, but since Cheng Tian was a gentle person who didn't like to argue with others, Li Xin didn't treat Cheng Tian as an opponent.    

    

However, since Ke Li's return, Li Xin could no longer hold it in. It was obvious that Li Xin did not expect Ke Li to be such an outstanding person with the demeanor of a king.    

    

Adding on Ao Lai's guilt towards Ke Li, it was inevitable that Ke Li would not become a threat to Li Xin's succession to the throne.    

    

Surprise surfaced on Cheng Tian's face when he heard Ao Lai's words.    

    

He knew that his brother Li Xin had always been a decisive person, but he didn't expect him to have so much guts.    

    

"Father, is there any misunderstanding? Although brother has always wanted to inherit the throne, he wouldn't do anything too excessive."    

    

Cheng Tian had always respected Li Xin since he was young. He did not want his family to lose their harmony because of the throne.    

    

In his eyes, kinship was more important than the so-called throne.    

    

"No misunderstandings, he saw that I wanted to make up for Ke Li and he couldn't help but want to get rid of him. If I didn't find out in time, I might have lost Ke Li again. Such a cruel and merciless person is not fit to be an enlightened ruler."    

    

"This is also something I have to discuss with you today. Ke Li has never grown up in the royal family, but I can see that he is a person with a calm temperament, so I want to pass down the throne to Ke Li."    

    

"Since you've decided to stay in the royal family, are you willing to support Ke Li? After all, he has just returned to the royal family, so he still doesn't know much about the current situation and needs a reliable person by his side."    

    

Ao Lai looked at Cheng Tian and said seriously.    

    

He knew that Cheng Tian had always been uninterested in the throne, and he also knew that Cheng Tian would become Ke Li's better helper in comparison to Li Xin's cruelty.    

    

Listening to Ao Lai's thoughts, Cheng Tian had no objection to Ao Lai passing the position to Ke Li. It was just that Cheng Tian didn't want to see his brothers and sisters being crippled, so he couldn't help but plead for Li Xin.    

    

"Father, if you truly think that Ke Li is more suited to inherit the throne, I have no objections. However, I want to ask you to do everything I can to protect Big Brother. After all, we are your children."    

    

"I don't believe Ke Li would want to see his father lose his brother because of him."    

    

Although Cheng Tian had never seen Ke Li before, from Ao Lai's words, he probably knew that Ke Li was a kind-hearted person. Otherwise, Ao Lai wouldn't have handed over the throne to Ke Li so quickly.    

    

Thus, he believed in Ao Lai's judgement.    

    

"I've already called Ke Li over. I'm still thinking about Li Xin's business."
