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

Qi Yuan boasted, and Ao listened with a slight upturn of his lips: "Boss Qi, Mr. Noah is so fond of you now, why not take this opportunity to join [Dawn]? Our organization is dedicated to making everyone happy. If you join us now, and are abandoned by Mr. Noah in the future, we will take you in."

Qi Yuan gave a cold laugh, "Your words sound like a curse. Do you really want me to be abandoned?"

"It's better to be safe than sorry. I'm just thinking of you, Mr. Qi, in advance."

“But I still stand by what I said.” Qi Yuan’s expression was cold. “No matter how well you describe Dawn, I am not a benevolent god, and I will not do any good deeds for you for free. And no matter how much you promise me now, it’s useless. I’m not stupid.”

"Oh, right." Qi Yuan suddenly remembered something and continued, "I don't know what you and the family head agreed to bring Casio here, but I am Casio's boss, and he is one of my people, so I will protect him. You should reflect on your actions during this time when you can't see him."

Upon hearing this, Ao smiled and said, "Reflect? What do I need to reflect on?"

“Casio said he’s most afraid of seeing hatred in your eyes. If you want to see him again, figure out what you’re thinking.” Qi Yuan looked at the butler and said, “Show him out, butler.”

"Yes." The butler respectfully stepped forward and gestured for Ao to enter.

Ao stood up, looked at Qi Yuan as if he wanted to say something, then smiled calmly and said, "Boss Qi, I will come to see you again when I have time."

"I hope we never meet again," Qi Yuan said calmly.

Ao laughed and said, "Don't say that, Boss Qi. I think you are the best member of our organization. I'm just not very good at speaking. If you talk to our organization's leader, you might change your opinion of the organization."

Qi Yuan did not respond. Judging from Ao's words, Dawn was indeed a very upright organization, after all, its purpose was to make everyone happy.

Those who readily obey him after just a few words are mostly fools.

Qi Yuan had seen it before; in his original world, some charitable organizations used the slogan of saving and helping people, but ended up embezzling the donated money.

In such a chaotic Northern Continent, one cannot blindly believe the words of just one person. Moreover, Ao is a key member of [Dawn], which makes Qi Yuan even less trusting of him.

Is a guy who always looks at people with hatred really sunny inside?

After seeing Ao off, Qi Yuan went to check on Casio's condition.

Casio had woken up, his eyes filled with confusion, seemingly unaware of why he was there.

Seeing Qi Yuan enter, he was even more surprised: "Boss?"

"Have you lost your memory?" Qi Yuan asked.

Casio frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "...I think I was having a dream?"

"Is it that you don't want to believe it? Or are you really delirious from the fever?" Qi Yuan asked back.

Casio paused for a moment, then clutched his head, which was still a little dizzy from the fever.

Seeing that he didn't seem to remember anything, Qi Yuan dropped a bombshell: "You told me everything about you and Ao in the past."

Casio felt as if he had been electrocuted, stiffly raising his head to look at Qi Yuan, seemingly unable to believe that he would tell Qi Yuan these things.

Qi Yuan relayed everything Casio had told him to him in detail.

Upon hearing this, Casio seemed to regain his memory and said, "Boss, you don't need to continue. I remember now. I've been in a daze these past two days, and the fever has made it hard for me to distinguish between reality and dreams."

"So, you dream about Ao quite often?" Qi Yuan asked.

Casio nodded without denying it. "I always dream about them, including my father and Ogo. Ever since I learned the truth about my father, I dream about them almost every day."

Qi Yuan didn't speak, but looked at Casio with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

creak.

The door was gently pushed open.

Qi Yuan turned around and saw Little Petty blinking her green eyes curiously at the room, but she immediately looked away when she met Qi Yuan's gaze.

"Patty, come in."

"Auntie!"

Petty ran in excitedly.

Qi Yuan looked at her and asked, "Why aren't you going to class?"

“I overheard everyone whispering that Uncle brought another man home, so I came to check and see what was going on to help you, Auntie!” Patty said, clenching her little fist. “Uncle keeps bringing men home, and I think he’s gone too far!”

“This is not something you should worry about. I’m keeping an eye on your uncle; he won’t dare to do anything reckless,” Qi Yuan comforted the little girl.

The little girl blinked her green eyes and asked, "Really?"

"Okay, let's go back to class."

Little Petty didn't leave immediately as Qi Yuan had instructed. Her green eyes scrutinized Casio for a moment before she returned to Qi Yuan's side.

"Auntie, you're still the prettiest one. Don't worry, Uncle won't change his mind so easily! If he does, I'll beat him to a pulp!"

"You get back to class right now!"

Qi Yuan felt both helpless and amused. Just how mature was this little girl? How many gossips had she heard from the servants? How could she be so old at such a young age?

"Auntie, I want to eat meat buns tonight."

The young girl finally revealed her true intentions, coaxing Qi Yuan as she explained her real purpose for coming to see him.

Qi Yuan patted her head and said, "Okay."

"Yay! I'm going back to class!"

The little girl left the room happily.

Once she left, the room became quiet.

Qi Yuan looked at Casio, who watched the little girl leave with a smile on her face.

Qi Yuan said, "Noah said he brought you back as a hostage. I didn't ask for details, but you are an employee of my restaurant. With me here, I can ensure your safety. Just stay here and recover. Also, if you want to meet with Ao and have a good talk, I will give you time to talk it over."

A conflict flashed in Casio's eyes; he seemed unsure whether he should talk to Ao.

"I don't like to meddle in other people's love stories, because relationships are a matter between two people, and a third party can't interfere or understand. However, I can provide a place for you two to have a good talk. As for whether I'll let you go or not, I'll have to see Noah's attitude."

"Thank you, boss," Casio said gratefully.

“If you want to thank someone, thank Aubrey and the others. They were also very worried and concerned when you were sick. Casio, there are many people around you who are good to you. Don’t confine yourself to one circle,” Qi Yuan said.

Casio gave a bitter smile. "Boss, do you think I have the right to be happy? My father killed many people and ruined many families, while I enjoy a life of wealth and luxury despite all the heinous things he did. What right do I have to be happy?"

“Ignorance is no excuse, that’s an old saying in the Eastern Continent,” Qi Yuan said. “You didn’t know about the evil deeds your father committed at first, and after you learned of them, you killed him with your own hands. In my opinion, you have avenged those people. Of course, if you still feel that you owe many people something, how about joining Ao’s organization, Dawn?”
