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

Kyle thought about it for a moment, and realized that dealing with Lennon would cause a lot of trouble later. He said helplessly, "The old man has given you a difficult problem. After what happened today, I understand why Lord Ryan had the idea of ​​purging the bloodline."

Weeds and roots.

As long as there is no one in the family who can compete with him for the position of family head, he can firmly hold onto this position and use the power in his hands however he wants.

If Ryan doesn't die, Noah will have to guard against a resurgence. The Milne family is not a small family. If a conflict breaks out with them and causes huge losses to the Davis family, Ryan will have an excuse to remove him from the position of family head.

Kyle looked at his master. Trustworthiness and loyalty are good qualities for anyone, but for Noah, they are shackles that allow him to gain more power.

Unfortunately, even though he knew it was a shackle, he had no intention of breaking free.

"Assign Qi Yuan a trustworthy bodyguard. Lennon has already made his move, and he'll probably come up with more ways to cause trouble. My little Rose can't afford to have any more problems."

Kyle glanced at Noah and said, "Patriarch, it seems you've given Mr. Qi Yuan quite a few nicknames?"

"When you're disobedient and wary, you're a little wildcat; when you're obedient, you're a beautiful rose. That's just two nicknames. Are they that many?" Noah countered.

Kyle added, “Master, I’ve heard people say that you shouldn’t name pets that won’t stay with you for long, because once you name them, you’ll easily develop feelings for them and won’t be able to get rid of them later.”

Noah paused, then frowned slightly. "Kyle, are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Young ones don't dare."

"If you're too scared, then go do what I asked you to do!"

Kyle sensed Noah's anger at being exposed for lying, so he said nothing more and hurried off to do his job.

*****

For the first time while injured, Qi Yuan slept soundly for a long time without any worries. When he woke up, he saw that the sky outside the window was still dark, the orange light by the bedside illuminated the whole room, and the old clock on the wall was pointing to 5:10 in the morning.

Waking up at this time, Qi Yuan was completely wide awake.

He had barely moved when it felt as if all the bones in his body had been disassembled and put back together, causing him to gasp for breath several times in pain.

Qi Yuan rarely suffers such serious injuries. When fighting prisoners, he tries to avoid getting injured in multiple places, because an injury would mean a significant reduction in his mobility.

To maintain his mobility, when fighting, he would rather endure another blow than inflict new wounds.

However, he accidentally tumbled down the stairs and was unable to protect himself.

So much so that now even the slightest movement causes him to grimace in pain.

Qi Yuan wasn't that delicate. After gradually getting used to the pain, he struggled to put the pillow behind him and sit up.

The most painful parts of my body are my hands and feet, since those are fractured.

What should I do while I'm recovering from this injury?

Qi Yuan was somewhat worried about the days to come.

Although Noah kept his promise and did nothing to him.

However, just because Noah wouldn't hurt him doesn't mean others wouldn't.

Noah's promises are useless if someone really wants him dead.

Qi Yuan lay on the bed, quietly thinking about his future.

The darkness outside the window slowly disappeared and became bright.

Just as Qi Yuan was about to go back to sleep, the door was suddenly pushed open with a click.

The person who came in was Noah.

He was dressed in simple, tracksuit-like clothes, with a few patches of unmelted snow on his blond hair, and his leather boots were wet.

He seemed surprised that Qi Yuan woke up so early. When he opened the door and met Qi Yuan's gaze, he was somewhat taken aback. After a few seconds, he reacted and walked in, bringing with him the chill of someone who had just returned from outside.

"Are you awake so early?"

I went to bed early last night.

"Do you feel better?"

Qi Yuan looked at his hand with the cast on, paused for a few seconds, and replied, "It should be alright."

Noah nodded slightly. "The servant who pushed you downstairs has been found. I've kicked him out of the Davis family and thrown him into the Larimer Sea to catch crabs. By the way, the mastermind behind it all has also been found. It's Lennon Milne. Do you know the Milne family?"

"I heard about them while I was in prison; they're another major family after the Davis family."

Noah smiled and said, "Still in prison and still asking about the outside world, my little rose seems to be someone who can do great things. However, even though I know who instructed the servants to push you down the stairs, I can't avenge you. It's not good for anyone if the two oldest families in the North Continent suddenly start fighting."

"No need to stand up for me. I'll remember this grudge and find a chance to take revenge myself later!" Qi Yuan was a strong-willed person; he was not the type to rely on others to help him get revenge after being betrayed.

Now that he knows who the other party is, he will find a chance to take them back!

Noah's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suggested, "Okay, if you ever get a chance to see Lennon, snuggle up to me and hold me tight. That guy likes me and is your rival. If you snuggle up to me in front of him, you'll definitely infuriate him, and it'll be a small revenge."

Qi Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at Noah, "Mr. Noah, is this what you're like in private?"

"What should I be like in your eyes?" Noah asked in return.

Qi Yuan was momentarily speechless at the question, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Do whatever you want? I don't know you well and we don't have much of a relationship. I have no right to demand that you be a certain kind of person."

Hearing this, Noah smiled knowingly. "It's really unexpected to hear you say something like that. I thought you were the kind of person who would spread rumors about what you disliked, hoping that the whole world would hate you with them."

"That's something only a giant baby would do. Being overly self-centered, believing in one's own truth, and arrogant enough to think that even farting can earn the world's approval. Sometimes I may not like you, but you only hurt me. I don't need to feel that you've hurt the whole world or expect others to empathize with me. So, when faced with some of your words, besides cursing them out, I can also choose to ignore them."

"Hmm?" Noah raised an eyebrow and said seriously, "Honey, I don't advocate passive-aggressive behavior here. If you encounter any dissatisfaction in the future, you can just say so."

"Then... could I have a knife?"

"Ok?"

Noah thought for a moment, and couldn't figure out how the above words could be connected to the topic of "give me a knife," so he said, "I just called you 'baby,' baby, you're not going to get so worked up that you'd grab a knife and try to cut me, are you?"

"Mr. Noah, I just want a knife for self-defense."

Noah promised that he could speak up if he had any complaints.

Qi Yuan had a sudden inspiration and took the opportunity to ask him for a knife. This was not because he was quick-witted and connected two unrelated sentences.

It was only because Noah seemed to be in a pretty good mood that she dared to make such a request.

Noah is the head of the Davis family, and there are bound to be many people with ill intentions who approach him. Asking him for a knife might make them feel that it would increase their potential danger, so they might refuse to give it to him.

Qi Yuan can only move one hand and one foot now, no matter how much Noah promises he won't be harmed again. Perhaps Noah is serious, but he's not a god and can't guarantee his absolute safety.

Therefore, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. Having a knife for self-defense is always better than having nothing at all when you encounter danger.
