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

Nick didn't notice the fleeting disappointment in Qi Yuan's eyes. Only when he heard his friend express sadness about his situation did he tease, "Even though you were kicked out of the Davis family, you gained quite a lot, so it was worth it. Sigh, wouldn't it be great if I could be 'chosen' too?"

Hearing this, Xiu laughed and said, "Didn't Ms. Daphne take a liking to you? But as soon as you saw that she was even slightly interested in you, you ran away immediately."

"Spare me, Ms. Daphne is the same age as my mother. Even if she takes good care of herself and looks very young, I still can't accept it."

After Nick said that, Qi Yuan finally understood why Nick had chosen to run away instead of going in to eat after queuing for half a day yesterday. It turned out that he was afraid of being noticed by Daphne.

Watching the two brothers talk, Qi Yuan said, "You two keep talking, I'll be going now."

“Mr. Qi, come with us.” Nick called out to Qi Yuan, “Tonight is Davis’s employee dinner party, you’ll be attending, right? Come with us later.”

Nick and Xiu are now employees of the Davis family. They received their invitations a couple of days ago and are gathered here to discuss what to wear tonight.

Qi Yuan shook his head, "I have other things to do, and I haven't received any news yet. You guys go ahead and attend. If I'm also going, see you at the banquet tonight."

Since he had already said that, Nick and Xiu couldn't try to persuade him to stay any longer.

Qi Yuan took the gifts and parted ways with them, then went to a restaurant.

The main reason for going to the restaurant was to tell the staff that I wanted to give them a day off.

Qi Yuan is not from Beizhou and does not understand how holidays are observed here, so he has not communicated with his employees about holidays.

Seeing the joy of Christmas spreading throughout the city, he, being a good boss, decided to give his employees a holiday according to the local custom.

The employees were overjoyed to receive the news of the holiday and worked even harder.

After going to the restaurant, Qi Yuan returned to Davis's house.

Petty was playing at home when she saw Qi Yuan return. She was very happy, but the butler told Qi Yuan that there was a banquet that night and that his formal attire was ready. The butler would come to remind him to wash up and change into his formal attire before going to the banquet venue.

Qi Yuan nodded to indicate that he understood, then turned around and found Petty looking at him with concern.

Qi Yuan rubbed her head and asked, "What's with that look in your eyes?"

"Aunt, I'm afraid you'll be bullied if you go to the banquet."

Petty rarely attended parties with Noah, and every time she went, she would see the adults arguing, which left Petty with the impression that attending parties would inevitably result in arguments.

"It's okay, if anyone bullies me, I'll fight back!"

“Yes, Auntie, you did the right thing!” Patty gave a thumbs up.

Looking at the cute little girl, Qi Yuan asked, "Petty must be bored being home alone all the time. Would you like to come to the banquet with me tonight?"

“I’m not going. Patty is too young and can’t beat the bad guys, so my uncle didn’t ask me to go out, so I’m not going.”

Petty's well-behaved nature made Qi Yuan feel a little sorry for her.

Such a young child is trapped in a palace-like cage, rarely goes out, and doesn't even have friends his own age, which makes us even more eager to find friends for Patty.

Qi Yuan hoped that Daphne wouldn't forget what she had promised him.

Time flew by while playing with Patty.

The butler came over to remind Qi Yuan to wash up and change into his formal attire, and finally the stylist would do a simple makeover for him.

Qi Yuan's handsome face doesn't need any makeup; he can simply go out with his hair done.

The Davis family only holds banquets in two places in Juecheng: the Dream Theater and the Red Rose Hotel.

This collaboration with Davis, as well as senior executives from Davis's company, will be attending.

The Davis family's companies are all over North America, and most of them, except for those who are too far away to come, are here for tonight's banquet.

Even so, there are still as many as five thousand people attending tonight's banquet.

At this time, the most important members of the Davis family were inside. In order to prevent the whole family from being wiped out, other cars were stopped from entering the two roads near the Red Rose Hotel.

Those wishing to enter must present their identification card and invitation. Armed soldiers patrol the area, while plainclothes hunting dogs can be seen observing the surroundings from the shadows.

Qi Yuan's car entered the banquet venue without any hindrance because it bore the insignia of the head of the Davis family. The checkpoint staff simply let him through upon seeing the insignia and dared not stop him to ask a single question.

Upon arriving at the Red Rose Hotel, Qi Yuan parked his car in the backyard and walked directly to the lounge on the third floor through a private passage.

In the lounge, Noah and Kyle were chatting about something. When Qi Yuan entered, they stopped talking, and Noah said, "Just do as I say to avoid any accidents."

"Yes."

"Go down."

Kyle nodded slightly and walked towards Qi Yuan.

He gave Qi Yuan a look, and after Qi Yuan met his gaze, he looked at Noah, who had faint dark circles under his eyes.

The door to the lounge was closed again.

Only Qi Yuan and Noah were in the room.

Noah looked at Qi Yuan, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Baby, we clearly met this morning, but it feels like it's been ages since we last saw each other?"

Qi Yuan didn't speak, but sat at the very edge of the bench and patted his legs: "Lie down and get some sleep."

"baby……"

"Stop talking so much nonsense, take advantage of the time and lie down for a while."

Qi Yuan's attitude was firm.

Noah smiled and lay down on his side.

Just as he was about to say something, Qi Yuan covered his eyes with one hand and his mouth with the other, saying, "Go to sleep."

Noah wanted to chat with Qi Yuan for a while, but he was too tired. He rested his head on Qi Yuan's lap and fell asleep in no time. He didn't even realize when he fell asleep.

Seeing that his breathing was even, Qi Yuan knew that he had fallen asleep and withdrew his hand.

He stared intently at Noah, his eyes filled with heartache.

With Christmas approaching, there's so much to do that he can't even get a good night's sleep. The worst part is, even with all that work, he still has to deal with his own little problems.

The banquet is still some time away from starting; there are two hours between the guests' arrival and the official start of the banquet.

Qi Yuan stood quietly like a stone statue, letting Noah rest his head on his knees and sleep soundly. Noah did indeed sleep very comfortably.

When Kyle came in, he told Noah that he should go to the banquet and greet the guests. Qi Yuan helped wake Noah up.

Noah woke up refreshed. He got up, stretched, and reached out his hand to Qi Yuan, smiling, "Baby, let's go to the banquet."

Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, remaining motionless.
