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

Qi Yuan recalled today's tea party and smiled calmly.

“I don’t want to attend a tea party like this again. These ladies are very direct and quite aggressive, which scares me. Also, because they have a problem with me, I’m wondering if the parents of the children I chose would be willing to let them play with Petty?”

This was the problem that Qi Yuan was worried about.

The more people you meet in Juecheng, the more discrimination you experience.

This North Continent is completely different from the North Continent of the world he knew. They were quite accepting of this kind of thing there, and even took it for granted.

Of course, the Northern Continent in the world he knew wasn't called the Northern Continent. The Northern Continent in this world was the real Northern Continent, and their aversion to the same world stemmed from issues of faith and religion.

They might not dare to express their disgust so openly in front of Noah, but it was different in front of Qi Yuan. After all, in their eyes, Qi Yuan was just a lover who could be abandoned at any time.

Even if Noah stands up for him this time, they will definitely torture Qi Yuan to death the day he is abandoned.

Many nobles' lovers were like this; even if they were bullied, they would still greet them with a smile, because what they feared most was being bullied again after being abandoned.

But what they didn't know was that Qi Yuan was different.

He doesn't argue with them because he understands their thinking, their deeply ingrained beliefs. Even if you argue until you're hoarse, they'll still think you're the one in the wrong, not them.

Qi Yuan wouldn't get involved in such thankless arguments, but that didn't mean he liked being scolded either. So he didn't want to sit quietly and listen to others scold him anymore.

Of course, we won't dwell on that today. The point is that Daphne defended him before he started hurling insults at her.

Instead of being severely scolded, Qi Yuan treated it like a mosquito bite—a little itchy but not painful.

“Antonie will definitely object, so forget about her grandson. Even if the others are unwilling, they will still seize this opportunity to curry favor with the Davis family for the sake of the family. Besides, Petty is Noah’s most beloved nephew. Unlike you, that little girl has Davis blood in her veins and may become the next head of the family. Who wouldn’t want their child to be friends with the next head of the Davis family?”

Qi Yuan nodded slightly: "I think Leo and Winnie are two very good kids."

"You have a good eye. You picked out the children from the two lowest-status families among the people I invited today," Daphne said. "But will little Petty like the two children you chose for her? They seem quite opinionated even at such a young age."

"Let them get to know each other first; if they don't work out, we can change them."

Daphne agreed and told Qi Yuan that she would help him contact the parents of the two children.

The tea party lasted for two hours, and it was already dark when it ended.

Qi Yuan took a car home.

But on my way home today, I was stuck in a huge traffic jam.

The reason is that the Milne family was attacked, and the whole city is now searching for the perpetrator.

This is when the police officers are busiest.

Despite past experiences and the deployment of officers from other areas for assistance, it was still impossible to stop people who deliberately caused trouble.

The car couldn't move at all.

Just as Qi Yuan was considering whether to get out of the car and walk back, there was a knock on the car window. The person knocking on the window was Nick.

Nick, who came to Juecheng, was like a ghost; Qi Yuan felt like he could see him no matter where he went.

"Let him come up."

Hearing Qi Yuan say this, Asha was somewhat reluctant, but she opened the car door.

As soon as the car door opened, Nick squeezed in without any hesitation.

As Qi Yuan's bodyguard, Asha was always within half a meter of him, so even in the car, he sat next to Qi Yuan.

Nick squeezed in as soon as he got on the bus. He was so squeezed that he didn't dare to get too close to Qi Yuan and could only sit almost touching Nick.

Nick felt a bit cramped and wanted to say, "Brother, there are still seats over there, could you move over a bit?"

But upon closer inspection, he realized that sitting down would be too close to Qi Yuan, and he roughly understood why A Sha remained motionless.

Ignoring the awkwardness of the two of them being almost touching, he smiled and greeted Qi Yuan: "Boss Qi, what a coincidence, I feel like I run into you everywhere in Juecheng."

"Yeah, it's such a coincidence that I thought you were some kind of pervert, and that's why you were following me."

Qi Yuan began to suspect that Nick was deliberately causing all of this by running into him whenever he went out.

Of course, Qi Yuan's words were a joke, and Nick didn't take them to heart. "Boss Qi, what are you busy with today?"

"Busy with what I need to do." Qi Yuan's answer was practically meaningless. He asked Asha, "Why are you still in Juecheng? Do you have a banquet to attend?"

"No, the only banquet my small organization can attend is yesterday's. However, last night someone tried to attack the Davis family, which caused a car explosion. In order to capture the remaining members, the Davis family will not allow anyone to leave Juecheng, so I am trapped here. Today, the Milne family was attacked again, and I will probably be trapped for several days."

After explaining why he couldn't leave, Nick added another reason, "However, the main reason I can still wander around Juecheng is because you didn't assign me any tasks, Boss Qi."

"Continuing to hunt down Ryan Davis and his family isn't part of the mission?" Qi Yuan asked.

Nick said, "It is a mission, but I am not the one who is doing it. My men are already looking for one, so I am very free right now."

Even if Qi Yuan assigns another task, Nick still doesn't need to do it. As the leader of the organization, his most important task is to stay in the command center, maintain morale, and receive and transmit information.

They just didn't want Qi Yuan to think that their subordinates were incompetent and that their boss had to step in to complete a task, so they changed their rhetoric to fool Qi Yuan.

Upon hearing his words, Qi Yuan lowered his head and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Nick, I remember you said before that you had a lot of information sources in Gangdia. There was nothing that happened in Gangdia that you didn't know."

Upon hearing this, Nick immediately became proud and replied, "Boss Qi, I'm not just bragging. My intelligence sources in Gondia are even more powerful than those of the four major families. In Gondia, there's nothing I don't know, only things I don't want to know."

Qi Yuan turned his head to look at him, and asked in doubt, "Is it really that amazing?"

"Of course, Mr. Qi, Gangdia, just tell me what you want to know, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Nick is genuinely confident in his area of ​​expertise; before Qi Yuan even asked his question, he had already patted his chest and assured him.

A sly glint of 'plan succeeded' flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes as he asked, "How many members of [Darkfire] does Gangdia have?"
