Noah wished he could spend more time chatting with Qi Yuan, or doing something naughty.

However, night fell quickly.

With the banquet drawing to a close and he having urgent business to attend to, he could no longer indulge in the beauty of the wild rose.

I could only give him a kiss to ease my longing.

Having confirmed Noah's opportunity, Qi Yuan knew it wouldn't be good to stay any longer, so he got up and left the room.

Outside the door, everyone was waiting.

Aside from Asa and Andrei, Nick and Mayor/Sheriff of Gangdia focused their attention on Qi Yuan's lips.

The lipstick on her lips had faded considerably, revealing her original pinkish lip color, making her look even more alluring.

The mayor and the police chief were somewhat disappointed. Qi Yuan was so handsome; if Noah hadn't taken a liking to her, they could have used their power to get such a beautiful woman.

However, once Noah set his sights on something, they couldn't touch it.

They were very puzzled. Didn't they say they liked men? So, as long as someone is pretty, they like them regardless of gender?

"Let's go," Qi Yuan said to Asha and Andrei.

Asa nodded, and just as she was about to leave, Mayor Gangdia suddenly stood in front of Qi Yuan. "Madam, are you just going to leave like this?"

"Mr. Noah said he would come to see me tomorrow."

Qi Yuan's words shattered his illusions.

He thought Noah had kicked people out so quickly because he didn't like them, but it turned out he did.

He awkwardly withdrew his hand and did not stop him further.

Qi Yuan didn't look at him again and turned to leave.

After walking for a while, Nick walked beside Qi Yuan and whispered, "Mr. Shi Bai, you are actually Qi Yuan, aren't you?"

Qi Yuan glanced at him sideways but said nothing.

Nick voiced his speculation, “Everyone knows that the patriarch is currently keeping himself pure for a handsome young man from the East, and I’ve also heard that he dotes on him. Think about it, we’ll go to Haven’s Tavern, you can find out about the patriarch and then leave, and tonight the banquet doors were a bit too easy to get into.”

"Even though I am now in a cooperative relationship with the head of the family, my status is still very low. If I were alone, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get through that door."

Nick is quite intelligent to be the leader of an assassination organization.

At first, he thought it was because of Xiu's help that Noah was treating him well. However, just now Noah asked to be alone with Qi Yuan, and the way he looked at Qi Yuan was always smiling.

That smile was gentle, like seeing a loved one. Qi Yuan had actually hidden it quite well, but from the way Noah looked at Qi Yuan, he instantly knew that Qi Yuan's identity was not right.

"Just discovered it?" Qi Yuan said. "I thought you had discovered it a long time ago."

"Huh?" Nick was a little confused by Qi Yuan's words.

"I use the name Shi Bai."

"Shi Bai? What's wrong with that name?"

Nick was a little confused.

Qi Yuan looked at him, somewhat puzzled: "Don't you and Xiu have a good relationship?"

“Great! We studied together in the same college for six years and have been good friends since we met.”

"So you didn't know that Xiu's lover's name is Shi Bai?"

Nick froze, staring at Qi Yuan in astonishment, and asked, "Xiao Bai's real name is Shi Bai?!"

Seeing his reaction, Qi Yuan's lips curled up slightly. "You don't know that Xiao Bai's full name is Shi Bai?"

"I never asked! He always says 'Little White, Little White,' and for a long time, I thought he meant a dog!"

Xiu called Shi Bai "Xiao Bai," and Nick, having heard it so often, naturally assumed that Shi Bai's real name was Xiao Bai. Little did he know that Xiao Bai was a nickname and Shi Bai was his real name.

"The names of people from Dongzhou are a bit difficult for us. I never knew that Xiaobai's real name was Shibai."

"Now you know."

Qi Yuan didn't expect to meet Nick at the Dawn, so when he said his name was Shi Bai, it was too late to change it.

However, Nick didn't react at all when he heard his name, so much so that Qi Yuan initially thought that he hadn't made a mistake in using the name Shi Bai.

Now I realize that Nick never knew Shi Bai's real name.

"That bastard Xiu, why did he never tell me Xiaobai's real name? Now you're starting to doubt my friendship with him."

Nick was so angry he wanted to punch them.

He thought he was Xiu's brother who understood him best, but who knew he didn't even know his brother's lover's real name.

“We’re heading back to Juecheng tomorrow. If you want to beat him up, you can come back with us,” Qi Yuan suggested.

Nick sighed, "We'll talk about it when we have time. The patriarch has assigned me a lot of tasks. I'll go back and settle accounts with him after I've finished those tasks."

"Hmm." Qi Yuan nodded, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat serious, his brows furrowing slightly. "I have a problem now, could the three of you help me solve it?"

"what is the problem?"

"I need to go to the bathroom."

I spent almost the entire day at Grace's tailor shop, but perhaps because I was so tense, I didn't feel anything.

With his nerves relaxed, he really wanted to go to the restroom as soon as possible.

“I’ll lead the way. I’ve been to this villa before, so I know where the bathroom is.”

The villa effectively avoids the issue of separate men's and women's restrooms, as all the toilets here are individual stalls, regardless of gender.

The hunting dogs responsible for the villa's security glanced at Andrei and Qi Yuan but did not stop them, continuing to patrol the surroundings from their posts.

Seeing the reaction of Davis's hound, Nick understood even more just how much Noah doted on Qi Yuan.

The hounds only obey the master's orders. When they are ordered to guard the surrounding area, they will check anyone who passes by, even if that person is Noah's lover.

However, the hounds only glanced at him, saying and doing nothing, which shows that their trust in Qi Yuan came from Noah.

Nick had thought Noah's preferential treatment of him was because of him, but now he realized it was because of Qi Yuan.

With Andrei leading the way, they quickly found the restroom.

Qi Yuan walked into the restroom. The cumbersome formal attire and long golden hair made him very uncomfortable; going to the toilet felt like torture.

Having finally relieved himself, he went to the sink to wash his hands and caught a glimpse of a suspicious-looking waiter lurking in the bushes outside the window.

He stood by the bushes, and saw the bushes sway for a moment before a head popped out.

But after only a short conversation, his head disappeared back into his pocket.

Qi Yuan immediately noticed their strange behavior, walked to the door, opened it, and said to Andrei, "Andrei, come here for a moment, I've found some strange people."

Andrei immediately came over. "Mr. Qi Yuan, where did you find it?"

"there."

Qi Yuan pointed to the window.

Andrei walked over to observe.

it's getting dark.

But the villa was lit up everywhere, with almost no dark areas.

Andrei hid by the window and looked in the direction Qi Yuan pointed, and sure enough, he spotted a few people acting suspiciously.
