Hearing his sister scold him like that, Lennon felt wronged and sad. "Sister, I'm not stupid. If my plan succeeds, it will be a great thing for our Milne family!"

"You think you can fool a fox like Noah?" Sera glared at Lennon, feeling that her younger brother was hopeless.

She turned to look at Qi Yuan and said, "If Lun Nong ever does anything to wrong you, come to me personally and I will compensate you. However, if Noah attacks him, please plead for him. That kid is so stupid he's not even human; he doesn't have much bad intentions."

Sera knew that cooperating with Qi Yuan was essentially cooperating with the Davis family indirectly.

According to the family's ideas and concepts, even lovers belong to the family. Once something belongs to the family, it belongs to the family no matter what, what, or what person it is.

Qi Yuan is still Noah's lover, so taking this opportunity to cooperate with Qi Yuan is not a bad thing.

However, considering her brother's personality, Sera could only hope that he wouldn't do too many foolish things.

After listening to Sera's words, Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lennon, saying, "The compensation I want will be substantial."

“While the Milne family may not be as wealthy as the Davis family, they should be able to provide the compensation you want. Besides, I don’t think you want to be asked for compensation one day.”

To seek compensation, one must suffer harm oneself. Only those who are so poor that they have nothing to eat or a place to live would choose to harm their bodies to earn money when they are desperate. Qi Yuan has not reached that point yet.

"Indeed, I don't want that day to come, and I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Qi Yuan reached out his hand again.

Sera grasped his hand and said seriously, "It's a pleasure doing business with you."

After saying that, she withdrew her hand and said sternly to Lennon, "We're going back!"

Qi Yuan nodded. "Take care."

Watching them leave, Qi Yuan asked Asha beside him, "Is Lennon really as naive as Sera said?"

"It's pretty much true. The Milne family of the past thought Mr. Lennon had mental problems and even had a doctor treat him, but the final result was that he wasn't sick; it was just his personality. It's just that Mr. Lennon doesn't think things through and acts recklessly based on what others say."

Qi Yuan had previously heard of a type of person with mild intellectual disability who was treated as a normal person because they could take care of themselves and looked no different from a normal person.

Lennon may belong to this category of mild intellectual disability.

However, upon hearing Asha's evaluation of Lennon, Qi Yuan couldn't help but ask curiously, "You used to be Lennon's bodyguard?"

“No, I’ve been a bodyguard for the Davis family since I started working as a bodyguard. It’s just that I once overheard someone at a banquet playing a trick on Mr. Lennon, telling him to dress up as a woman and seduce the head of the family. He believed them and appeared before the head of the family dressed as a woman half an hour later…”

Asa seemed to recall some terrifying scene, and couldn't continue speaking.

Qi Yuan briefly recalled what Lun Nong looked like in women's clothing... Never mind, let's not think about it.

"After that, Ms. Sera sent someone to follow Mr. Lennon. I heard that the person who encouraged Mr. Lennon to wear women's clothing was castrated by Ms. Sera."

Although Lennon is a bit slow and silly, Sera is really good to her brother as an older sister. She will stand up for her brother without hesitation when he is wronged.

"Ms. Sera, what a wonderful sister."

"Ms. Sera and Mr. Lennon were kidnapped when they were young. It is said that Mr. Lennon protected his sister during the kidnapping, and his stupidity may have been caused by something that happened during the kidnapping. Therefore, everyone in Juecheng knows that no matter how much Ms. Sera dislikes her brother, she has never given up on him."

"This is what family is all about."

As an orphan, Qi Yuan was somewhat envious of the sibling relationship between Sera and Lennon. Although Sera always disliked her younger brother, when Lennon wanted to open a restaurant with her, she immediately came to inquire about the details of the collaboration. This showed that she was afraid that her brother might listen to someone else and do something foolish again.

Today, Qi Yuan got to know Lun Nong, and now he knows how to get along with him.

After a busy day outside, Qi Yuan returned to Davis's house before it got dark at four o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as they arrived home, Petty ran over, looking at Qi Yuan expectantly, and asked, "Auntie, did you bring back anything delicious today?"

"What do you want to eat?" Qi Yuan affectionately rubbed the little girl's head. "I heard that when I'm not home, the housekeeper goes to my restaurant and invites Aubrey to come to our house to make dumplings and steamed buns for you."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qi Yuan, Miss really loves dumplings and steamed buns, and doesn't want to eat anything else," the butler apologized.

“That won’t do, Petty can’t be a picky eater.”

"But Uncle Ghana's cooking is getting worse and worse, I don't like it."

The Ghanaian chef, carrying a bag of cookies, felt his world collapse upon hearing Petty's words. He stood frozen in shock, staring at Petty, and asked, on the verge of tears, "Miss, is my cooking getting worse and worse?"

“Ugh, it tastes awful, so weird,” Patty replied with utmost seriousness.

Ghana was deeply affected, her eyes slightly moist. "Butler, I need to ask for two days off to go out and further improve my cooking skills."

"Ghana, you can just cook it the way you normally would; there's no need to add so many strange things," the butler advised.

Ever since Qi Yuan showcased his culinary skills, Gana has been researching bizarre cuisine. He can eat it without any problem, but feeding it to others is like destroying their taste buds.

Ghana has excellent chefs; as long as you stick to the traditional cooking methods, the food will taste great.

“I’m not adding weird stuff; I’m just researching what different spices taste like when combined,” Ghana said, defending his identity as the head chef.

The housekeeper sighed, "You won't learn anything by going out and improving yourself like this, and besides, you haven't even cooked dinner tonight."

“Then we’ve come at just the right time,” Xiu’s voice rang out.

Everyone looked towards the door, where Xiu and Shi Bai came in carrying a large pile of things.

Qi Yuan asked, "What did you bring?"

"Ah Yuan, do you remember you promised me that you'd make me spicy chicken or something like that after I recovered from my injury? I've been thinking about that for so long, and today I finally found a time when you weren't busy!"

Qi Yuan had already forgotten about this matter.

But for Xiu, who really missed Dongzhou cuisine, he had been waiting for Qi Yuan to have time. He even brought all the ingredients today, just in time to catch Qi Yuan and make him the spicy chicken and hot pot he had been dreaming of!
