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

Qi Yuan had spoken with Li Er several times and understood his hesitation. He said, "I will give you a two-month trial period. If the dishes I provide cannot generate profits for your restaurant during these two months, I will refund the franchise fee in full. After you start making money in the second month, I will take 5% of the profits in the third month. In addition, the franchise fee can be paid in installments, and you don't have to pay it all at once."

Qi Yuan knew that Lille didn't have much money and was hesitant because he didn't have the money to pay the franchise fee.

Upon hearing his terms, Lille looked at Qi Yuan with a mixture of joy and gratitude, "Mr. Qi Yuan, you are truly a wonderful person! Thank you!"

"No need to be so polite." Qi Yuan looked at Casio and asked, "Casio, are you staying here? Or are you coming back with me?"

“Boss, I want to stay here,” Casio said apologetically. “The children in the church are all too weak. One gets sick today, another gets sick tomorrow. I want to take care of them.”

"Yes, you used to work at my restaurant, so you know how to make congee hot pot, lemon tea, and steamed buns. If you stay here, you can teach Mr. Lil when you have time."

Qi Yuan's restaurant is still short-staffed and needs to hire more people. He doesn't have time to send two employees here to teach Lille, but Casio happens to be here, so he'll let Casio teach.

Casio nodded in agreement.

Qi Yuan didn't speak again, and looked at Ao.

Ao was looking at him at that moment. When their eyes met, Ao said, "Boss Qi, there's something I'd like to talk to you about alone. Can we go over there and talk?"

Ao pointed to a corner, and Qi Yuan nodded, following him to the corner.

"Boss Qi, do you remember those two guys who were looking for you at the restaurant? When I was in Juecheng, I pretended to be generous and gave them some money and even let them stay at a hotel. So, could you lie to them and get them to come to the Gangdia Church?"

As he spoke, Ao glanced at Nick.

He's terrified of Nick finding out how he spent the money he gave him.

Juecheng was a city full of rich people, so Nick gave him a lot of money, but he used the money to act like a tycoon. Because he left Juecheng in a hurry, he didn't have time to find Raymond and Rost.

Now we can only ask Qi Yuan to bring the person to Gangdia and have them work to pay back the money.

"You called me here just to say this?" Qi Yuan asked.

Ao asked doubtfully, "Boss Qi, don't you think this is a big deal for me?"

"I thought you called me over to talk about Casio," Qi Yuan said.

Ao chuckled self-deprecatingly and said nothing more.

Qi Yuan saw the disdain in his eyes and said, "I'm leaving Casio here. Don't bully him. If I find out you've bullied him, you're finished."

“Boss Qi, what are you saying…” Ao said, feeling very wronged. “He used to be my young master. He was the one who bullied me. How could I dare to bully him?”

Qi Yuan glanced at him, thought for a moment, and told Ao about the grievances Casio had told him when he was sick.

As he spoke each sentence, Ao's pupils suddenly dilated.

Qi Yuan concluded, "Casio likes you a lot, to the point that you're willing to give up your pride. No matter how much you bully him, he won't fight back. So, don't bully him too much when I can't see you."

How could he possibly like me?

Ao didn't hear Qi Yuan's last words and became lost in his own world.

“He likes my brother. Eugene Mike has told me many times how much he hates me, how he has never liked me…”

Qi Yuan was puzzled by his words. "Is there some misunderstanding between you two? Let's talk it out. Regardless of whether there's a misunderstanding or not, I hope you won't bully Casio anymore."

Ao was stunned, and Qi Yuan didn't bother to say anything more, returning to the group.

Nick glanced at Ao, who hadn't come over, and asked, "Boss Qi, what did you say to that guy? Why does he look so deep in thought?"

"Perhaps you're reflecting on things. What about you? Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Qi Yuan felt that Nick must have something to say since he came along.

Nick chuckled, "Mr. Qi, you're really smart and have a good eye for people. Alright, I do have a question for you—what exactly did my good friend Xiu do in Juecheng?"

Nick once asked Xiu in a letter how he met Noah and how Xiu had introduced them. Xiu replied that it was his own doing.

But after thinking it over, he still didn't think his brother had that ability.

After all, once it was discovered that he liked men, he was locked up in the church.

If he can't even be with the person he likes, what ability does he have to make Noah listen to him?

“He was Noah’s fake lover in Juecheng,” Qi Yuan said.

Nick paused, "What?" He wondered if he hadn't heard clearly.

Qi Yuan continued, "A fake lover would give criminals another option if they wanted to kidnap a lover to threaten Noah. But as it turns out, Noah made a mistake in this step. When the other party wanted to target him, they would have targeted me and Xiu Du instead."

Qi Yuan tells Nick about Xiu being stabbed and how he was given a poisoned cake.

Nick now understood where Xiu's skill lay.

From the moment Xiu was stabbed but survived, Noah owed him a favor. Of course, even if he didn't owe him a favor, a cooperative relationship was still established between them.

"I'll go back to Juecheng when I have time. By the way, could you take this gift back to Xiu for me? Just say it's a gift to thank him for helping me make the connection."

"can."

Qi Yuan accepted Nick's gift box; the box was somewhat heavy.

But this weight is very similar to the weight of the gun that Qi Yuan had held before.

Did he send Xiu a gun?

The casual conversation with Nick came to an end. Ao was still standing in the corner, frowning and deep in thought. Qi Yuan glanced at Casio but said nothing more.

He's already meddled enough in other people's love stories. As long as the two of them talk things out, and if there's really a misunderstanding, they can do whatever they want after it's cleared up; it's none of his business.

At nine o'clock, the sound of horses' hooves stopped in front of the hotel.

Dressed smartly and handsomely, Noah stepped down from the carriage, looked at Qi Yuan waiting at the door, elegantly extended his hand, and smiled, "Baby, I've come to take you home."

Qi Yuan was somewhat exasperated by what he had done. Dressed up so nicely, was he planning to go on a blind date?

Despite his disdain, Qi Yuan still took his hand.

Fingers intertwined.

Noah looked at Nick and the others and said, "You two, we'll meet again someday."

He automatically ignored Ao and spoke to Lille and Nick.

The two were flattered. Lille said, "Yes, Mr. Noah, have a safe journey."
