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

While waiting for Qi Yuan to enter, Deng Luopu had already assumed a posture, sitting upright and solemnly, intending to intimidate the other party with the domineering aura of the family head.

What he was thinking was: I'm always being bullied and oppressed by that brat Noah. Now that his little lover has arrived, I can't let myself be bullied anymore. After all, I'm more than twenty years older than them!

Noah had no choice.

That was the new head of the Davis family.

They were not as wealthy as the other side, and they didn't have as many guns either.

Then you'll just have to obediently listen to them.

Qi Yuan arrived, though he felt somewhat apprehensive.

But we still need to show Qi Yuan a bit of his attitude.

However, when he saw Qi Yuan, he froze for a few seconds.

He only recovered when his secretary spoke, and waved his hand, saying, "You may leave."

"Yes."

The secretary responded and turned to leave.

Dunlop glanced at Qi Yuan a couple more times, trying to remain calm despite being amazed by his appearance. "Sit down."

"Thank you," Qi Yuan replied.

He sat opposite Dunlop, sizing up the man who was clearly frowning and was already quite old.

Perhaps because of his age, Qi Yuan felt that the head of the Leopold family in front of him was not dignified but rather somewhat kind.

"Is this the first time you and I have met?" Dunlop asked.

Qi Yuan thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "It's our first time meeting."

"Although it's our first meeting, after you appeared at Davis's house, I heard your name everywhere I went. It felt like I had met you many times before."

Dunlop joked.

Ever since Qi Yuan appeared by Noah's side, Juecheng has been filled with legends about him, especially since Noah often talks about Qi Yuan in front of him.

As a result, he felt that he had met Qi Yuan hundreds of times.

"So, what did you come all this way to see me for?" After sharing his thoughts, Dunlop asked Qi Yuan what the purpose of his trip was.

Although, in his heart he thought that Qi Yuan had come to refuse.

However, things don't always go as planned.

What Qi Yuan said next shattered his illusions.

"I wonder if Mr. Dunlop knows that Mr. Croft invited me to work in his studio?" Qi Yuan asked in return.

Upon hearing this, Dunlop scoffed, "He invited me? I don't recall you asking to come yourself."

"It was Mr. Crawford who invited me."

Qi Yuan remained unfazed by praise or criticism and calmly corrected Dunlop's words.

Dunlop looked at him, somewhat angry, yet unable to bring himself to be.

He had to admit that Qi Yuan was really handsome!

He was so handsome that it was hard to look away. His skin was as smooth as white porcelain, and his eyes were dark and bright with a captivating depth. It was as if one could steal one's soul with just one glance. Moreover, he had an excellent temperament, with nobility and confidence in his generous and neat demeanor.

This is hardly the demeanor one would expect from a male concubine.

When they first heard that Noah liked men, they expressed disdain and contempt.

But when he saw Qi Yuan, he felt... he could do it too.

The jumbled thoughts that popped into his head were shaken off by his strong will. Dunlop tried to calm himself down and said, "Okay, even if Croft invited you, what do you think about it yourself?"

"Wait!" Seeing that Qi Yuan was about to speak, Dunlop interrupted him and continued, "Let me tell you first, Crofford's research project is very demanding. In addition to the normal research, you also have to move iron and transport things every day. You do a lot of manual labor. Noah has raised you so pampered. You probably can't do those tough jobs."

“Mr. Dunlop, you just said that although this is our first meeting, it seems like you’ve seen me many times before,” Qi Yuan said.

Dunlop nodded: "I did say that."

"If you can say that, then you must have already investigated my past when I appeared by Noah's side."

Dunlop: "..."

Qi Yuan smiled slightly, looking at the other person with confidence, "Nowhere is more difficult than prison, Mr. Dunlop. The toughness and hard work I developed in five years there are not something Noah can cleanse in just over a month."

Upon hearing this, Dunlop wanted to refute Qi Yuan.

After all, prison isn't actually that tough for some people.

For criminals whose families are willing to protect them, prison is like a hotel.

However, Qi Yuan had no background or connections in prison, and she was also very beautiful.

That prison was hell for him.

Now he understood why he saw a completely different temperament in Qi Yuan than in ordinary male concubines—it was because this guy had crawled out of hell!

"Even if you're hardworking and diligent, Croft's work still requires brainpower. According to my investigation, it seems you haven't been to school? Do you even know what's written here?"

Dunlop confidently picked up a document. He had investigated Qi Yuan's past and knew that Qi Yuan was an orphan who was taken in by a small organization and did manual labor every day.

Those small organizations and gangs make money through brute force and violence. They don't need literate or educated people, nor would they pay for their members to go to school.

Therefore, Qi Yuan never went to school, and after he went to prison, the hellish life there made it impossible for him to have time to study.

However, he did not know that Qi Yuan came from another world, and the writing system of this world happened to be similar to that of his original world.

Qi Yuan remained silent, staring intently at the document.

After observing for a while, under Dunlop's confident gaze, he said, "The Playa oil field development plan, according to the investigation in the eastern Playa region,..."

"You...you can read?!"

Seeing that Qi Yuan read the words on the document aloud without missing a single one, Dunlop's face immediately darkened, and he covered the document up.

“A development plan? It seems Mr. Dunlop has discovered new oil.” Qi Yuan smiled.

Dunlop looked a little flustered and said, "No, that place is actually a plain. I plan to grow cauliflower there and press rapeseed oil."

Qi Yuan's expression brightened. "People in the Northern Continent also eat rapeseed oil?"

“Eat! Besides coconut oil, peanut oil, and olive oil, the people of the North Continent also have rapeseed oil,” Dunlop quickly changed the subject.

He was afraid that if Qi Yuan continued to pursue the matter, he would go home and tell Noah.

The Praia oil field was a recent discovery for him; he originally intended to occupy all the surrounding areas first and then gradually develop it.

If Noah found out, he would definitely come and seize the land to dig for oil.

"Putting everything else aside, Mr. Dunlop, can I start working on Mr. Croft's project now?" Qi Yuan didn't continue the conversation about oil, but instead talked about his original purpose for coming here.

Dunlop is now genuinely afraid of Qi Yuan.

He was worried that continuing to talk with Qi Yuan would reveal more secrets, so he said, "Of course I agree. Croft insists that you go to his project, how can I refuse your request? My second son is currently executing that project, and I'll have him come and take you to Croft's studio right now!"
