My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 4254 Unique

Half a day later, Liu Mingzhi, Lei Jun, and Xiao Ke'ai stopped one after another outside a shop with an impressive storefront.

The shop has three floors, and its overall structure is mainly built of large, uniformly sized stone bricks.

Those large stone bricks were not fired in a brick kiln, but were made from individual large stones.

At first glance, the size of each stone brick is almost the same, all about 1.5 feet long and about half a foot wide and high.

Above the shop's main entrance hangs an exquisite and grand plaque, inscribed with texts from several different countries.

Among them, the scripts of three countries stand out the most: the script of the Great Dragon, the script of Rome, and the script of the Arab world.

Of the three languages, the script of the Great Dragon occupies the most space on the plaque and is the most eye-catching.

After Liu Mingzhi steadied himself, he immediately raised his head slightly as usual to look at the signboard above the shop door.

When he saw the words on the plaque clearly, his expression immediately became strange.

Of all the characters on the plaque, he recognized only three.

Treasure Pavilion.

It's a very common and straightforward name, yet it allows people to immediately recognize or understand where this place is.

The three characters "珍宝楼" (Treasure Pavilion) occupy the very center of the plaque, below which are slightly smaller Roman and Arabic scripts.

As for the languages ​​of Rome and the Abbasid Caliphate, and the other languages, Liu Mingzhi did not recognize them, but with the words "Treasure Pavilion," he naturally understood the meanings of the other languages.

"Treasure Pavilion".

After Liu Mingzhi read the three characters "Zhenbaolou" on the plaque with a faint smile, he silently withdrew his gaze from the plaque.

Immediately, he turned around with a smile and looked at Lei Jun, who was also looking at the plaque above.

"Haha, Brother Lei, the shop sign of Brother Krich's family is quite unique!"

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's cheerful voice, Lei Jun immediately withdrew his gaze from the plaque, turned to Young Master Liu, and nodded slightly in agreement.

"Hehehe, Brother Liu, you're right. This plaque does look quite unique."

Just as Young Master Liu and Lei Jun were talking softly with smiles on their faces, a waiter who looked to be around twenty years old saw the little cutie's figure on the right side of the shop door and quickly ran up to greet her.

Xiao Er trotted up to greet Liu Mingzhi and his two companions, and immediately bowed respectfully to the little cutie.

Then, he spoke a few words of Da Long in a respectful tone, which were very fluent but sounded somewhat awkward.

"Miss Liu, you've arrived. I'm here to greet you."

The little cutie glanced down at the waiter who was greeting her, smiled slightly and nodded twice, then raised her slender arm and waved gently at the waiter in front of her.

"Yes, no need for formalities."

"Thank you, Miss Liu."

The little cutie looked at the waiter who had straightened up and said softly, "Ark, is Yike in the shop right now?"

When the waiter, Yak, heard the little cutie ask him this question, he immediately nodded heavily to her without hesitation.

"Miss Liu, you've come at just the right time. She's currently inside the shop!"
"Miss Liu, do you think I should go in right away and inform Miss Liu that you've arrived?"

Upon hearing this, the little cutie smiled and gently shook her head twice.

"No need to notify me, I can go in myself."

"Yes, sir. Miss Liu, please proceed!"

Yak waved respectfully to the little cutie, then quickly turned around and waved to Liu Dashao and Lei Jun.

"Distinguished guests, please come in as well."

Although Yake didn't know the identities of Young Master Liu and Lei Jun, he was very clear in his heart that the people who came with Miss Liu were definitely not ordinary people.

Furthermore, even if the two people behind Miss Liu did not come with her, she would still treat them with utmost respect.

When you open a business, anyone who comes to your door is a valued customer.

Since they are distinguished guests, we should naturally be more respectful to them.

Yake looked at Young Master Liu with a respectful expression. Lei Jun and his brother waved to each other and then immediately took two small steps toward the little cutie.

"Miss Liu, please hand over these two fine horses to me. I will take care of them for you."

Upon hearing this, the little cutie smiled and nodded gently, then raised her slender arm and handed the reins of the two mounts in her fair hand to Ark.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Yak took the reins from the little cutie and immediately replied respectfully, "I dare not, it's my duty, it's all my duty."

After giving a slight nod, the little cutie immediately turned around with a bright smile and looked at Young Master Liu and his brother Lei Jun.

"Father, Uncle Lei, let's go inside!"

Liu Mingzhi nodded with a smile and walked directly toward the palace gate.

"Well, let's go!"

Seeing this, Lei Jun nodded gently to Xiao Ke'ai with a smile on his face, and immediately set off to follow Liu Dashao and Xiao Ke'ai and her father.

"Okay, let's go in together."

As Yake watched Liu Mingzhi, Xiao Ke'ai, and Lei Jun walk away into the shop, his expression suddenly froze, and his muscular body began to tremble uncontrollably.

What did I just hear? What did I just hear?
Miss Liu just called those two men "father" and "Uncle Lei" respectively.

Father! Uncle Lei.

The title "Uncle Lei" is alright, but the important thing is the "father" he calls out.

Miss Liu is a princess of the Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, so her father must be... the emperor of the Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty?
The Emperor of the Great Dragon Dynasty—that middle-aged man who was walking at the very front just now, he was actually the Emperor of the Great Dragon Dynasty?
After learning Liu Dashao's true identity, Yake couldn't help but start swallowing the food between his lips and teeth.

"Gudu!"

"Gudu!"

"Gudu!"

Um, um.

Well, I don't think my words and actions just now were impolite, right?
At this moment, Yak no longer cared about leading the two fine horses to the hitching post not far away. With a nervous look in his eyes, he began to try his best to recall all his words and actions just now.

At the same time, Liu Mingzhi, Xiao Ke'ai, and Lei Jun entered the Treasure Pavilion one after another. Xiao Ke'ai had barely stepped inside when she immediately turned her slender, fair neck and looked towards the counter on the left.

At this moment, Kriek was sitting in a chair behind the counter, her slender hands holding a quill pen as she carefully copied down the accounts from this morning.

Compared to the little cutie who turned her fair neck to look at Kriyko behind the counter, Liu Mingzhi and Lei Jun habitually walked around quietly while silently examining the goods in the shop.

The little cutie looked at Kriek, who was writing something with a serious expression, and smiled as she opened her cherry lips and called out softly.

"Sister Yike."

Kriy heard the little cutie's soft call, and the quill in her fair hand paused slightly. She then subconsciously turned her slender, jade-like neck to look in the direction of the sound.

In an instant, she spotted the little cutie who was looking at her with a beaming smile.

So, she immediately stood up from the chair under her pert bottom with a look of surprise on her face.

"Oh my, Sister Yue'er, what brings you here?"

Before the little cutie could respond to Kriike's words, Liu Mingzhi and Lei Jun turned around.

In an instant, Kriy was able to clearly see the faces of Young Master Liu and Lei Jun.

Then, just as the little cutie was about to speak, Kriiko spoke again before her.

"Uncle Liu... Uncle Liu?"

The moment Kriike finished speaking, her voice tinged with surprise and nervousness, Little Cutie followed suit with her own words.

"What? Little Yike, you don't welcome your older sister?"

Kriy heard the little cutie's joking words, and while nodding her head a few times to the little cutie, she hurriedly came out from behind the counter and walked gracefully towards Young Master Liu and Lei Jun.

"Sister Yue'er, no, no, I didn't mean you weren't welcome. I was just a little surprised."

After responding to the little cutie's words with a clear and melodious voice, Kriiko walked gracefully to Young Master Liu's side and bowed respectfully to him with a beautiful face full of admiration.

"My daughter Yike greets Uncle Liu."

Liu Mingzhi glanced down at Kliyko, who was greeting him, and smiled as he raised his right arm and waved gently at her.

"Hahaha, Yike, no need for formalities."

"Thank you very much, Uncle Liu."

After saying thank you in a sweet voice, Kriyko immediately straightened her slender waist.

Immediately, she bowed deeply to Young Master Liu once again.

“Uncle Liu, my daughter was unaware of your presence and has failed to greet you properly. I hope you will forgive her.”

Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi smiled and raised his arms, making a gesture of support towards Kriyko.

"Hey, what's with all this 'forgive me' and 'forgive me' stuff?"

Yike, this is in your shop, not in your home.

Your shop is open for business, and I am just a customer who comes to visit.

If you have to go out to greet every customer, Yike Yatou, how can your shop still do business?

Get up, get up quickly!

Hearing Young Master Liu's light laughter, Kriy nodded twice with a slight smile.

"Oh, thank you very much, Uncle Liu."

After Kriyko slowly straightened her slender waist again, she immediately turned her eyes to look at Lei Jun, who was standing next to Young Master Liu.

Then, she couldn't help but furrow her delicate eyebrows slightly.

Lei Jun's appearance gave her a vague feeling of familiarity, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen Lei Jun before.

When Lei Jun saw Kriyko's delicate eyebrows furrow slightly as she looked at him, he immediately raised his hands with a smile and tidied his messy hair. Then he gently combed his beard on both sides of his face and on his chin.

"My little niece, can you recognize who your uncle is now?"

When Kri saw Lei Jun suddenly ask if she could recognize her, her beautiful face showed a slight panic.

The person in front of me addressed me as my little niece Yi Ke as soon as she opened her mouth, which clearly meant she knew me.

Unfortunately, he couldn't remember who he was for the time being.

However, one thing is certain: I must have met this person before, and even had dealings with him.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have found his face so familiar.

But when and where did I see him?
"I...I...you..."

Kriyko murmured softly with her red lips, then hummed a few times before giving Lei Jun a slight curtsy, her pretty face full of embarrassment.

"Uncle, I'm so sorry."

My dear uncle, your face looks so familiar. I'm sure I've seen you before.

However, I really can't remember when or where I saw you, Uncle.

"Uncle, my memory is rather dull, and I can't recall your identity for a moment. I hope you won't take offense."

As soon as Krijko finished speaking apologetically, before Lei Jun could say anything, Young Master Liu burst into laughter with a strange expression on his face.

"Hahaha, haha~ ahahahaha."

Soon, Young Master Liu's loud laughter stopped.

Immediately, he turned around with a mischievous glint in his eyes and looked at Lei Jun, whose face was slightly embarrassed.

"Brother Lei, aren't you embarrassed?"

How awkward would it be to be in this situation?

Oh my, Brother Lei, you seem to have a strong impression of Brother Krich and his family, but Ike and her family don't seem to have a very good impression of you!

What did that sentence say?

Oh, right, right, I offered my warm welcome but got a cold shoulder.

Yes, yes, that's right, it's like offering a warm welcome only to be met with a cold shoulder.

Liu Mingzhi's joking remarks, full of teasing, were clearly a joke he was making at Lei Jun.
