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

Qi Yuan only wanted to change his coffee-stained clothes; he had no other thoughts in his mind. He first took off his thick, warm trousers.

Suddenly, he vaguely felt a burning gaze.

Suddenly realizing that she wasn't alone, she instinctively grabbed a blanket and covered her long, muscular legs with it.

"Honey, I was just wondering if you've gotten used to my presence already? Why are you acting like a stranger again?"

"Could you turn your back?"

"No."

Noah pulled him close and hugged him. "You served me breakfast earlier, how about I help you change your clothes now?"

As he spoke, he extended his hand.

Qi Yuan quickly grabbed his hand, "No need, I can do it myself."

"I want it!"

Noah grabbed Qi Yuan's hand to stop him from struggling.

"Baby, don't you like me?" he suddenly asked out of the blue.

Qi Yuan was also taken aback by the question.

"What does this have to do with whether I like you or not?"

“It’s a big deal. We’re clearly lovers, but you sometimes resist me. We can’t continue like this. When you resist me, I feel really bad.”

Qi Yuan slowly loosened his grip, his head bowed in deep thought, wondering if his resistance would harm Noah's 'fragile' heart.

“Baby, I know that before you met me, you always faced all kinds of dangers and ferocity on your own. You are used to being independent and self-defense, which is why you are still so awkward with me even though you love me so much.”

Qi Yuan did not respond; Noah was actually quite right.

He liked Noah, but because of some past experiences, he couldn't be too open about it.

He had thought about making changes, but some things seemed to be the body's memory, completely beyond the control of the brain. Before the mind even had a chance to think, the body had already begun to reject them.

While he was deep in thought, Noah released his hand.

Before Qi Yuan could sort out his thoughts, Noah suddenly whispered in his ear, "Baby, don't be afraid. It's just me here, and I won't hurt you."

Another sentence that Qi Yuan hadn't caught up with, but the next second, a black and white tie covered his eyes.

Suddenly, everything went dark. Qi Yuan cried out urgently, "Noah!"

The voice sounded urgent and panicked.

He was afraid of the sudden darkness.

"Shh, it's okay, baby. I told you, I'm here. You're safe."

"What are you doing?"

Unable to see, he instinctively reached out and grabbed Noah's arm.

“Desensitization,” Noah said. “Baby, I just want you to know how safe you are with me. You don’t have to be afraid of me or wary of me.”

Qi Yuan pursed his lips, his voice slightly hoarse, "You once said that no one can protect themselves 100%, and that protecting yourself is the best option. If I let my guard down, can you protect me?"

"Yes." Noah's voice was particularly firm in the darkness. "If I can't protect you, I'll die if you die."

Qi Yuan froze, and the grip on Noah's arm slowly loosened.

He had to admit that Noah's words instantly lessened his worries and fears.

However, the warm breath on his neck made him tense again the next second. Qi Yuan's hand tightened again, as if Noah wanted to cure Qi Yuan's illness in one go.

In the darkness, his lips were sealed.

It was in that very moment.

Qi Yuan felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, surrounded by darkness, unable to see anything.

A fish living in the dark depths of the sea suddenly approached his waist, stimulating his sense of touch with its icy body temperature. Qi Yuan instantly got goosebumps and his body trembled.

How terrifying is darkness where no light can be found.

Yet, within this darkness, there was a warmth as gentle as a spring breeze.

After an unknown amount of time, the fish that had fallen into the deep sea finally had a chance to breathe.

Qi Yuan gasped for breath, his head feeling dizzy as if he were lacking oxygen.

He could breathe again, but the darkness had no intention of letting him go.

Coming to his senses, Qi Yuan grabbed Noah's hand in the darkness.

Noah Davis.

"Honey, why are you suddenly calling me by my full name?"

Noah's voice was deep and pleasant.

"If you use all sorts of tricks to gradually change me into the way you want me to be, and then abandon me... then I will definitely kill you!"

Qi Yuan had to admit that he was being influenced by Noah and was gradually changing, to the point that he could no longer find the person he used to be.

Noah could tell from his words that Qi Yuan was still afraid.

How can years of fear be changed in just one or two days?

"Baby, you may think I'm being glib, but I really like you. Even if you don't want me, I won't abandon you."

"Don't be afraid, trust me."

Noah reassured Qi Yuan once again, and Qi Yuan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly as he listened to his words.

Noah looked at Qi Yuan.

At this moment, Qi Yuan was as beautiful as a statue meticulously sculpted by a craftsman. Moreover, Qi Yuan was currently undergoing desensitization therapy.

She looks especially well-behaved and pretty.

This isn't the obedience of someone who's drunk; it's the obedience of someone who's sober.

Noah's mouth went dry from reading.

"Baby, I've been so good, can I get a reward?" Noah asked in a low voice.

Qi Yuan asked in confusion, "What are you planning to do now?"

Noah didn't speak, but showed him through his actions.

Qi Yuan was startled and exclaimed in panic, "Do you know where this is?!"

"The walls of this carriage are very thick. To protect against bullets, the outer layer is thickened, and to keep it warm, an inner layer of insulation is added. Without opening the windows, you can't hear any sounds from outside."

Noah was silent for a few seconds. "There are four carriages running outside, and hunting dogs on horseback guarding the area. Baby, you can't see anything right now, so your sense of smell and hearing should be at their most sensitive. Can you hear the sounds outside?"

"Hmm...you!" Qi Yuan listened quietly to the sounds outside, but he couldn't hear anything at all; it was so quiet that only their conversation could be heard.

But Qi Yuan, this conservative boy from the Eastern Continent, was nowhere near as bold and reckless as Noah, this open-minded boy from the Northern Continent. He was both flustered and afraid.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you," Noah comforted her.

Qi Yuan's breathing became heavy. "Noah Davis, in a certain respect, you are the most arrogant and ruthless thug in my life! You insist on correcting what I don't want to do step by step! And you even protect me? I think the person I should be most wary of is you!"

Hearing Qi Yuan's accusation, Noah chuckled and said, "Alright, since I have such a bad image in your eyes, I'll do something that ruthless bandits like to do, so that I won't feel wronged when you scold me."

"You still think you're being wronged? You... um!"
