"Ah Yuan, are you trying to comfort me?"

Noah was in a great mood and asked.

Qi Yuan looked up at him, and fearing that he might overthink things, he explained, "I'm not trying to comfort you, I'm just telling the truth. I'm not stupid, I can see that you're holding each other back."

"You know perfectly well what's going on in your heart, yet you still say it, just to comfort me. Ah Yuan, do you have feelings for me?"

Qi Yuan didn't know how to deal with Noah's sudden presumptuousness. He was just showing off his intelligence, how did it become that he had feelings for Noah?

Realizing that his way of thinking was very different from Noah's, Qi Yuan chose to avoid answering Noah's questions.

Noah had a good grasp of his personality, so he stopped asking the question and took a piece of paper out of his pajama pocket and placed it in front of Qi Yuan.

"This is the pocket money I got for you after my battle of wits with Sera today."

Qi Yuan looked at him with suspicion, then picked up the paper and looked at it. The three characters "Transfer Agreement" appeared at the top of the paper, many times larger than the characters below.

As he carefully examined the transfer document, trying to figure out what was being transferred, Noah whispered in his ear, "This is all I can get for you. Sera is very stingy. Even though she knows Lennon was wrong to instruct the servants to push you down the stairs, she said you weren't dead. Offering compensation to a restaurant is already the biggest concession she can make. That restaurant makes about 30,000 a month in profit. This little bit of money is barely enough for you as pocket money."

An average family's annual income is only 30,000 yuan, but the restaurant that Noah got as compensation can earn 30,000 yuan a month, so you can imagine that the restaurant is not small.

"Why are you going to seek compensation for me?" Qi Yuan asked.

Noah raised an eyebrow. "The little cutie that Patriarch Davis brought back got bullied, and he did nothing. Is he really that cowardly? Since Patriarch Davis is so easy to bully, then we can do whatever we want in front of him from now on?"

He spoke from an observer's perspective.

Qi Yuan immediately understood.

Even if he was brought into the Davis family as a mistress, if Noah did nothing when he got into trouble, people would think that Noah was nothing special, unable to even protect his wife from being bullied, so what was the point of following him?

After saying this, Noah saw that Qi Yuan remained silent, with a knowing look on his face, and asked, "I went to Sera for compensation, not entirely for your sake. Are you unhappy about that?"

"I got a restaurant worth hundreds of thousands for free, why shouldn't I be happy?" Qi Yuan asked.

That's what it says.

But now Qi Yuan was conflicted.

After Lennon and Daphne caused such a scene during the day, he had planned to find an opportunity to escape once his injuries healed, to flee the North Continent to the East Continent, to a place where they could never find him again.

But now, he has gained a restaurant worth hundreds of thousands for free. With this restaurant, he can live a good life without doing anything else for the rest of his life.

Whether to run or not has now become a difficult choice.

"Ugh."

Noah sighed deeply and crawled into bed.

Qi Yuan frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what the other person was doing.

All I heard was the other person say, "I should have told you that I went to ask Sera for compensation for you. Maybe you would have been moved and then thrown yourself at me. Now that I'm telling you it was for my own pride, you're not even moved."

"I'm not moved, but I'm grateful," Qi Yuan said.

Noah looked up at him. "Grateful?"

“You could have registered this restaurant in your own name, but you gave it to me.”

The transfer agreement clearly states that the transfer is to Qi Yuan, not Noah Davis.

Even if Noah were to seek compensation, he could ask for it for himself, not for Qi Yuan.

Therefore, Qi Yuan was somewhat moved when he saw the name Qi Yuan appear on the transfer document.

Noah saw that Qi Yuan had discovered his painstaking efforts in the transfer agreement, and thought that all his efforts had not been in vain. At this moment, he looked at Qi Yuan with increasing satisfaction.

Qi Yuan was not only good-looking, but also very intelligent.

No matter what it is, he can quietly discover the key points.

To be honest, Noah needed a partner like that.

He is smart enough, not greedy, and will not be blinded by temporary gains and betray him.

In a large family like Davis's, there are too many people watching them. If the person next to him has ulterior motives, he can't even sleep peacefully.

It is precisely for this reason that Noah carefully selects his partner.

Unfortunately, Qi Yuan was straight.

Noah felt a pang of regret, but he didn't show it. His gaze fell on the book in Qi Yuan's hand, and he said, "Asha said you've been reading all day. Is the book this good?"

"Hmm, this detective novel is not bad." Qi Yuan picked up the book and showed Noah the title.

Noah closed his eyes wearily. "Forget it. I studied hard when I was young so that I could play freely and happily at this age without having to study anymore. So, now, instead of studying, I'd rather work in a factory assembling guns."

Qi Yuan smiled and said, "I'm not sleepy yet. I'll probably finish reading this book before I go to sleep. How long are you going to lie here?"

"Lie down a little longer. Read it to me as you read, and I'll listen to what this book is about. I'll make sure you finish reading it even if it means staying up all night."

Qi Yuan glanced at the thickness of the book. "Shall we start reading from the beginning?"

“Let’s start reading from where you see it, let you read from the beginning, neither of us will sleep tonight.”

This book has around 200,000 words, which isn't very thick, so you can read it quickly. But if you start reading it from the beginning, word by word, it will take quite a while.

Qi Yuan glanced at him and then began reading from the open page.

Qi Yuan was a southerner in his original world. His voice was gentle and refined, and it was a pleasant voice to begin with. Although it was the first time he had read the book, he did not stutter and read the entire page of words fluently.

It provided an excellent experience for the listener. Qi Yuan read a few pages, and then secretly glanced at Noah out of the corner of his eye.

Noah rested his face on the soft pillow, his completely dry blond hair fluffy and bouncy, like a plush toy, making one want to reach out and touch it, to see how soft his hair seemed, like cotton.

Qi Yuan was so engrossed in reading that he stopped reading as well.

Noah parted his thin lips slightly, "Why did you stop reading? Are you sleepy?"

His throat seemed to be stuck together, his voice low and slightly indistinct, and it was clear that Noah was still maintaining some rationality in the face of sleep.

This is practically like talking in one's sleep.

Qi Yuan glanced at the few pages left, then at Noah who was about to fall asleep, and stopped reading. He put the book on the bedside table and prepared to go to sleep as well.

"I'm sleepy, go to sleep."

"Hmm," Noah mumbled, "I sleep very soundly and won't touch your injured area, but if I do, you can kick me off the bed..."

As he spoke, Noah's voice grew softer and softer until he drifted off to sleep.
