Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Aubrey suddenly understood what Qi Yuan meant.

"Boss, you're right!"

"Get to work, stop chatting."

Qi Yuan urged Aubrey to concentrate on his work.

The kitchen was already busy, and Pullman came to chat with him for a few minutes, which delayed things, so Qi Yuan was making dumplings much faster now.

Nine p.m.

Noah came to take Qi Yuan home.

Qi Yuan left work an hour early, taking two boxes of dumplings with him.

Just as Qi Yuan sat down in the car, Noah suddenly leaned towards him and said in a slightly tired tone, "Honey, Sheriff Pullman told me that an armed Ogan came to town today and dined at your restaurant."

"He went and told you?"

Pullman is running back and forth; he genuinely wants to improve.

"Hmm, I heard that Ogon man caused trouble in your restaurant?"

Qi Yuan smiled helplessly, "It seems that Sheriff Pullman really wants to curry favor with you, exaggerating the matter like this."

Qi Yuan told Noah what had happened that day, that the other party had shot and injured someone outside, not inside the restaurant.

Pullman deliberately exaggerated the situation to subconsciously increase its perceived danger and then demonstrate how hard he was working.

Noah was no stranger to Pullman's tactics; he had seen them far too often.

He held Qi Yuan in his arms and asked, "Baby, why don't you stay home for a while? Juecheng has been quite turbulent lately."

"what happened?"

"Someone is stirring up conflict between the four major families, deliberately sending some of their trusted confidants to cause trouble in other people's territories. I argued with those guys today and drank two buckets of water."

Noah's voice was even hoarser than before, and it sounded a little tired. Hearing that it was caused by an argument, Qi Yuan felt sorry for him but also found it funny.

"You are also from a prestigious family, yet you argue when faced with problems?" Qi Yuan asked.

Noah nodded. “We are human too. When faced with a struggle for interests, we argue more fiercely than anyone else when we can’t use guns. If the table weren’t too heavy to flip, we don’t know how many times we would have flipped it.”

The four major families are currently keeping each other in check and cannot easily turn against each other. Therefore, all the trouble that has happened in the past two days has been caused by arguments at the meeting table.

They all hoped that winning the argument would bring them some benefits.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted."

Noah leaned on Qi Yuan's shoulder and closed his eyes.

Qi Yuan reached out and gently patted his face. "Is all you do is argue? Aren't you going to find out who the mastermind is?"

"They argued and searched at the same time, wanting to make up for the losses first before finding the murderer. After all, sometimes even if the murderer is found, the losses may not be made up, so they wanted to make up for the losses first."

Did the Davis family suffer any losses?

"No, the areas we control are quite strict, making it difficult for anyone to find loopholes, so no one has dared to cause trouble yet."

At this point, Noah looked down on the other three, "They caused such a huge loss because of their poor management. If I were them, I wouldn't even dare to ask for compensation!"

When the other three families got into trouble, in addition to arguing with them about the murderer and demanding compensation, Noah also had to investigate whether there were any traitors among the hounds.

The presence of a traitor among the hunting dogs is a very serious matter. The previous patriarchs had unconditionally trusted the hunting dogs to be theirs, but now that a traitor has emerged, we have to consider whether these hunting dogs can still be used.

Training new hunting dogs was also a time-consuming and laborious task for Noah.

As Noah spoke, perhaps because his voice was really tired from overuse today, he stopped talking and leaned on Qi Yuan's shoulder, closing his eyes as if to rest.

Looking at him now that he had calmed down, Qi Yuan suddenly understood why Noah, who was sometimes acting childish, and who was always on high alert, could only relax for a moment in front of him.

Let's be more tolerant of his occasional childish rudeness from now on.

Back at the Davis house, Noah also woke up.

After a short rest, he felt a little better and was no longer as tired as he had been in the car.

Upon entering the house, Petty, who was playing in the living room, heard the door open and immediately looked at Qi Yuan and Noah, just like a rabbit peeking out of its hole.

"Uncle, Aunt, you're finally back! I was about to fall asleep if you hadn't come back!"

"Kids should go to bed on time and not stay up too late."

Noah rubbed the little girl's head.

But the little girl's gaze quickly fell on the cardboard box Qi Yuan was carrying, and she asked happily, "Auntie, you brought me dumplings?"

"Ah."

"I want to eat!"

"You're going to sleep soon, why are you still eating? You can eat tomorrow. Go to sleep now."

Noah's words were all meant to dampen Petty's spirits. The little girl was very angry when she heard this. She puffed up her cheeks like a little pufferfish, glared at Noah, and finally said four words.

"Uncle is so annoying!"

"Go to sleep, you annoying girl. Go upstairs to your room."

Noah didn't give the little girl any chance, and took her hand to her room to sleep.

Although the little girl looked reluctant, she obediently followed Noah back to her room to sleep.

The butler came up and said, "Mr. Qi Yuan, please give me the dumplings. I'll put them in the refrigerator and cook them for Miss tomorrow."

Qi Yuan handed the dumplings to the housekeeper and walked towards the sofa.

Xiu and Shi Bai sat on the sofa.

Seeing Qi Yuan approach, Xiu smiled broadly, "A Yuan, can you cook some of the dumplings you brought back for me? The doctor said I can eat a little something today. I've been on IV drips for days and my stomach is empty. I'm starving."

"You haven't eaten for days, so eat something soft. I'll cook you some porridge," Qi Yuan said, getting up.

Seeing this, Shi Bai immediately stood up as well. "Brother Qi, you've been busy all day and you must be very tired. Just tell me what to do, and I'll make it for the young master."

Qi Yuan nodded, told Shi Bai what to do, and then sat down again.

Watching Shi Bai busy himself in the kitchen, Qi Yuan said, "Isn't your relationship with Shi Bai special? Why does he keep calling you 'Young Master'? Doesn't he change how he addresses you?"

“I’ve been calling him that since I was little, I can’t change it. Actually, I really want to hear him call me ‘brother’ too. I raised him like my younger brother when I was a child,” Xiu sighed.

In order to conceal their relationship, the Robinson family members, no matter how close they were, could not call each other too intimately. Over time, this way of addressing each other became a habit that they could not break.

“I think he’s like an older brother, and you’re more like a younger brother. Shi Bai knows that A Yuan has had a hard day outside, so he’ll go and get himself something to eat. But you take advantage of your injury to order A Yuan around. How can you order A Yuan around?”

Noah appeared behind him without him noticing.

When Xiu saw him, he grinned shamelessly. "Patriarch, don't be angry. I just consider A-Yuan a brother, so I directly expressed my request to him. To be honest, if I could move and stand for long, I would have already picked up a pot and a ladle and cooked a few dishes myself!"
