In the eyes of the people of Juecheng recently, Noah has indeed done a lot for Robinson, but upon closer inspection, what he did for Qi Yuan was to get him a restaurant from the Milne family and to donate a sum of money to the church in Qi Yuan's name.

To outsiders, aside from the restaurant being given to Qi Yuan, Xiu received much more from Noah: the entire Robinson family business, and even the protection of the Robinson family's assets.

This means that the Xiu Guild will receive a continuous stream of money in the future, and upon closer examination, the Xiu Guild will receive more than Qi Yuan.

People who don't know the situation can only judge who Noah likes more based on who gets more things, even if Noah says in the newspaper: "My favorite person is Qi Yuan".

Few people would believe him, because the bigwigs of the family always do things in unexpected ways.

Perhaps because he had spent too much time with Noah, Qi Yuan felt a mischievous urge after hearing Daphne's words. His brows furrowed slightly, and a look of sadness appeared in his eyes.

"If he paid more attention to me, I wouldn't have to work so hard to earn money and secure my future."

Daphne's blue eyes lit up, and she looked at Qi Yuan with some excitement, "Noah doesn't like you anymore?"

I like it so far.

"Hmm? Something's not right." Daphne felt something was off. "Wasn't Noah supposed to be quite devoted? He got bored so quickly? That doesn't make sense."

She thought carefully about Noah's character and conduct, and felt that Qi Yuan's words were very wrong.

Qi Yuan sighed, "It's all an act, so much so that you believed it."

Asha looked at Qi Yuan with suspicion, thinking: Mr. Qi Yuan, you are spreading rumors here. If the head of the family finds out, you will be punished, do you know that?

Daphne frowned deeply, she was a little confused by Qi Yuan's words. "Acting? You mean, Noah doesn't like you, but actually likes Xiu, and is pretending to love you for Xiu's safety?"

Qi Yuan sighed and remained silent.

Daphne suddenly realized something and was startled. "That's right, you're an orphan with no parents. If you're used as a shield for Xiu, no one will care if you die."

“Madam, you’re mistaken. Noah loves me the most. Xiu never liked me from the beginning.”

Qi Yuan was worried that if Daphne continued to misunderstand, Xiu and Shi Bai would be in danger again, so he quickly confessed.

However, Daphne had already misunderstood. She said, "Fine, I know you want to save face and say that Noah likes you the most. My lovers often tell the same kind of lie."

Qi Yuan felt ashamed.

"Madam, I didn't lie."

“Okay, you weren’t lying.” Daphne looked at Qi Yuan with pity in her eyes. “Qi Yuan, I still stand by what I said before: if Noah ever doesn’t want you anymore, come find me. Even if you were Noah’s lover, you’re beautiful, and I like you.”

"Sigh, I don't know what Noah was thinking. You're much better looking than Xiu, and you have a beauty that doesn't belong to the North Continent. If it were me, I would definitely choose you."

This misunderstanding can't be cleared up.

Qi Yuan sighed, "Madam, Noah says to everyone that I'm his favorite person, but you say his favorite person is Xiu. If outsiders find out, and Xiu gets into any danger, I..."

Daphne suddenly realized, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else, and you shouldn't tell anyone either. If anything happens to Xiu, I'll kill you first!"

Daphne is now convinced that Qi Yuan is just a shield for Xiu. If outsiders find out that Noah prefers Xiu and then cause trouble for Xiu, Noah will definitely assume that Qi Yuan leaked the information and then cause trouble for Qi Yuan as well.

Daphne is still waiting to make big money by cooperating with Qi Yuan, and she absolutely cannot allow anything to happen to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan never expected that his playful remark, inspired by Noah, would cause such a misunderstanding for Daphne. It seems that it's better to joke with people you're close to.

Qi Yuan didn't trust Daphne much. Daphne had caused him trouble before, and besides, they hadn't spent much time together, so he didn't really know what kind of person she was.

So, after parting ways with Daphne, he went to find Xiu and told him about the misunderstanding that had happened that day, so that Xiu could be careful to avoid any accidents.

However, finding a repair job is not easy either.

The housekeeper at Robinson's house told Xiu to go out and inspect the shops, but when he went to one shop, the employee told him that the shop had just left.

They found another company, and the answer was the same.

By noon, Qi Yuan was both hungry and cold, and unable to find any more food, he went to a nearby restaurant.

This is a Western restaurant, but there are very few customers, only a few tables occupied.

Qi Yuan ordered a pan-fried steak, while A Sha ordered fish and chips and tomato beef soup.

While waiting for the food to be served, Qi Yuan picked up the newspaper that was placed to the side and started reading.

This is today's newspaper.

The large banner displayed the interview Noah had given yesterday.

The first half is Noah's thoughts on the future development of the Davis family, while the second half is his views on love.

Although the answer didn't mention Qi Yuan at all, every sentence was about Qi Yuan.

As Qi Yuan looked at the newspaper, he could already picture Noah's expression when he answered these questions.

After all, he now knows this man quite well.

"Have you read today's newspaper? It's unbelievable! Noah is so infatuated with a man!"

Two young girls sat down at the table behind Qi Yuan.

As soon as they sat down, they started gossiping.

"To be honest, it's truly astonishing that the head of the Davis family is so devoted! I originally thought that people of such high positions and power would get tired of their lovers one after another. After all, among the Davis members we know, who isn't like that?"

"Yes, let's start with Ryan Davis, who ran away. When he was as young as Noah, about 50% of the young, unmarried women in Juecheng were his lovers!"

"Let alone him, how many decent-looking men in Juecheng, or even men from other cities, haven't Daphne Davis slept with?"

"Noah Davis at his age only had three lovers, and now he only has one. He is so unconventional that he doesn't seem like a member of the Davis family."

"Exactly! If I were from the Davis family, I could have three lovers a day and do whatever I wanted!"

"I've heard that indulging in that kind of thing is bad for your health, and doing it too much can also damage your brain and make you stupid."

"Who told you that? But it seems that the heads of the four major families do become more restrained and don't have as many lovers as they did when they were young."

"It's also possible that the head of the household has too much work to handle, so naturally he doesn't have time to find a lover."

The girls were talking about all sorts of gossip about the four major families, and Qi Yuan was listening intently.

At that moment, he saw a weary figure slowly walk into the restaurant and finally sit heavily on the table to Qi Yuan's left.

The man took off his hat, and Qi Yuan saw his face clearly, slightly surprised.

Isn't this Croft, who was researching telephones?
