CEO’s Contract Sweet Wife

Actually, Ao Lai did not want to exterminate Li Xin completely. After all, they were his sons and he was filled with disappointment towards Li Xin.    

    

He once had great expectations for Li Xin, but now, he was disappointed.    

    

The guard's voice came from the door.    

    

"Reporting to the king, the second prince, Third Prince and the quasi wangfei are already outside the door."    

    

Hearing the guard's words, Ao Lai's face revealed a smile. He nodded to the guard, signalling them to let Ke Li and Rong Jian in. Then, he turned his head and spoke to Cheng Tian.    

    

"Now you can see your brother."    

    

Following Ao Lai's voice, Ke Li walked in through the door holding Rong Jian's hand. Then, he walked in front of Ao Lai and bowed slightly towards him.    

    

"Father, you called me."    

    

Rong Jian followed beside Ke Li and slightly bent over towards Ao Lai, performing the etiquette of Z Country.    

    

She really did not like the complicated etiquette related to the royal family. Fortunately, Bai Li understood her, and he would be back in Dongfeng City after they get married.    

    

"Ke Li, this is your second brother, Cheng Tian."    

    

Ao Lai pointed to Cheng Tian to introduce Ke Li.    

    

"Ke Li, it's our first time meeting. Welcome back."    

    

Cheng Tian looked at Ke Li, just as his father had said, he was indeed talented. Even though Bai Li didn't open his mouth to speak, Cheng Tian could feel the unique aura from Ke Li. He indeed had the demeanor of a king.    

    

Therefore, Cheng Tian took the initiative to extend his hand, waiting for Ke Li's response.    

    

Hearing Ao Lai's words, Ke Li turned around and looked at Liu Tie. Ke Li's first impression was that Cheng Tian was a kind person, and a kind person's eyes would be especially gentle.    

    

Ke Li stretched out his hand and held Cheng Tian's hand.    

    

"Second brother."    

    

Ao Lai looked at the peaceful picture of Cheng Tian and Ke Li and decided that Ke Li's wedding day was only a few days away, so Ao Lai planned to tell him about it today.    

    

"Ke Li, sit down. I have something that I need to talk to you about."    

    

Ke Li nodded slightly. He only sat down with Rong Jian after Ao Lai and Cheng Tian had taken their seats. Ke Li had not let go of Rong Jian's hand.    

    

He knew that even though Rong Jian knew all the etiquette, he didn't like this kind of restriction. Therefore, he didn't want Rong Jian to feel uncomfortable, so he held Rong Jian's hand tightly, wanting to give him a sense of security.    

    

Rong Jian lowered his head and looked at his hand that was tightly held by Ke Li. A faint smile appeared on his face.    

    

"Ke Li, I've already discussed this with Cheng Tian. Although you haven't grown up in Z Country, you've grown up so well. I'm very pleased, so I've decided to pass down the throne to you after your wedding."    

    

"In the future, you will be the next King of Z Country. I believe in your ability to bring good luck to Z Country's people."    

    

Ao Lai looked at Ke Li with praise in his eyes. In his eyes, no one was more suitable than Ke Li to inherit the throne. Perhaps, the heavens allowed Ke Li to survive because they wanted him to return and inherit the throne.    

    

Perhaps this was heaven's will.    

    

Hearing Ao Lai's words, Rong Jian raised his head and looked at Ao Lai in surprise.    

    

She never thought that Ao Lai would actually pass the throne down to Ke Li. If Ke Li succeeded the throne, then Ke Li would have to stay in Country Z forever, which meant that she would never be able to return to Dongfeng City.    

    

Ke Li could clearly feel that because of Ao Lai's words, Rong Jian's grip on his hand became tighter. Ke Li turned around and smiled at Rong Jian, comforting Rong Jian's worry.    

    

Then he shifted his gaze to Ao Lai opposite him and said seriously and firmly.    

    

"Father, I have never grown up in Z Country and do not have a deep understanding of the royal family. I think that I do not have the ability to become the next king, so I believe that second brother is more suitable than me to become the king of Z Country."    

    

Ke Li tactfully rejected Ao Lai's good intentions. In Ke Li's view, becoming a king was not something he was proud of. Instead, he was even more restrained. Perhaps, it might even make Rong Jian anxious.    

    

He grew up in the Dongfeng City and his feelings towards Dongfeng City were even deeper, so he still wanted to bring Rong Jian back to the Dongfeng City.    

    

"To tell you the truth, Royal Father, I originally wanted to tell you that after my wedding to Jane, I planned to return to the place where I grew up. That place might be more suitable for me."    

    

"So, I hope that you can take back your good intentions. I truly cannot bear such a heavy burden."    

    

When Cheng Tian heard Ke Li's words, he was slightly surprised.    

    

He did not expect Ke Li to reject Ao Lai, which meant Ke Li was not interested in the throne at all. It was rare to see someone so indifferent to fame and fortune.    

    

All these years, he had already seen too many swindlers outside. Even when he returned to Z Country, he had heard of Li Xin's news. However, he did not expect Ke Li to be different.    

    

This filled Cheng Tian's gaze towards Ke Li with admiration.    

    

For a person who could treat the throne as nothing, the aura he possessed was enough for others to look up to.    

    

"Ke Li, do you know what you rejected?"    

    

Cheng Tian looked at Ke Li. He wanted to see from Ke Li's eyes whether Ke Li was sincerely rejecting him or just rejecting him.    

    

Ke Li met Cheng Tian's scrutinizing gaze. Without any fear, he didn't cower at all.    

    

"Is second brother testing me? I know that I rejected the position of the noble king of Z Country, and even more so, rejected the glory of my entire life. However, to me, these are not the most important things. "    

    

"Since the heavens want me to not grow up in the royal family, it means that I don't belong to the royal family. I'm very grateful for everything my royal father has given me, allowing me to have the person I love."    

    

At this point, Ke Li looked at Rong Jian gently.    

    

He did not forget that when he first returned to Z Nation, it was Ao Lai who helped him. That was why he was able to save Rong Jian from Nan Wenyu so quickly.    

    

However, he did not intend to let the throne restrain Rong Jian. He was willing to give up the throne for the sake of simplicity.    

    

"Father, in fact, I think that second brother is more suitable for the throne than I am. The fact that he was able to give the throne to me, who has just returned, is enough to prove that he is a magnanimous and tolerant person."    

    

"Only a person with a sufficiently broad mind would be qualified to become the King of the Z Country."    

    

Ke Li looked at Ao Lai's serious suggestion.    

    

He believed in his eyes, the gentle temperament of Cheng Tian was definitely not an act.    

    

Hearing Ke Li's words, Cheng Tian couldn't help but laugh. Looks like this little brother of his had indeed surprised him.    

    

"How do you know you don't? Seeing you, I finally understand why Royal Father was able to make his decision so quickly. I think that his decision was correct, you do indeed have the air of a king. "    

    

"This throne should belong to you."    

    

Actually, it wasn't hard for him to tell that this was just Ke Li's rejection. The real reason Ke Li rejected was yet to be revealed.
