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

Qi Yuan's confidence left Noah speechless for a moment.

He knew that Qi Yuan was very smart.

Even if joining [Darkfire] doesn't make him the boss he boasted about, he's smart enough to protect himself.

But what he was worried about was that if Ryan had already made contact with [Darkfire], he might incite his members to harm Qi Yuan.

The hounds in Port Lanelli reported that the Lane family had not yet been spotted in the port. In the current cold winter, it was impossible for them to have taken their children and women to live in a cave; they must be somewhere else.

The place where he is hiding must be under someone's protection, otherwise there would have been some news about him.

What if the current [Darkfire] is protecting them?

Even if Qi Yuan was very clever, Noah did not want him to take this risk.

While he frowned deeply, Qi Yuan kept watching him. Seeing that the other man didn't respond to what he said, Qi Yuan spoke again: "Why do you still look worried? Are you really afraid I'll become the boss of [Dark Fire]?"

"Are you really going?" Noah asked again.

Qi Yuan nodded.

Noah sighed heavily. "I've thought about finding a partner who won't cause me any trouble, but you..."

"Have I caused you any trouble?"

"Yes! You've made me worry. How can this not be considered troublesome?" Noah's voice suddenly grew louder as he looked at Qi Yuan with a helpless yet affectionate expression. "I've never encountered such a perplexing problem in my life. You've made me a little dizzy."

"I've told you so much, and you still don't believe me?" Qi Yuan asked.

"I believe it, but I'm still worried. I have a prejudice against [Darkfire]. They're people who would risk their own lives for revenge against us. Who knows what those lunatics might do?"

“That’s the action team. The action team are the crazy ones. I’m planning to join their intelligence team. The intelligence team is safer,” Qi Yuan said.

After several conversations, Noah realized that Qi Yuan was determined to get involved in this mess.

In his arguments with Qi Yuan, Noah was often at a disadvantage, and in the end, he had no choice but to agree to Qi Yuan's demands.

After agreeing, Noah suddenly felt something was off and asked, "Honey, joining [Darkfire] is the biggest and most dangerous thing you can do right now, isn't it?"

"What other organizations are more dangerous?" Qi Yuan countered.

“Not yet,” Noah said. “Honey, I’ve granted you everything you’ve asked so far, so I have to do myself a favor. Next time you want to go somewhere dangerous, I’ll only object, and you’ll have to listen to me.”

There is currently no organization more dangerous than [Darkfire], but what the North Continent has in abundance is hatred. Noah is worried about what danger might occur next, while Qi Yuan is clamoring to go.

He was truly at a loss when it came to Qi Yuan, fearing both that he might encounter danger and that he might be unhappy.

Qi Yuan didn't think much of it and readily agreed: "Okay."

Upon receiving this response, Noah smiled faintly, then suddenly remembered something, and a sly smile appeared on his lips. "Baby, you just said that if those Darkfire guys ask you why you joined them, you'd portray me as a heinous villain."

"Is that not okay?" Qi Yuan asked. "If not, I can put it another way."

"It's okay, you can say that. I don't care that much about what other people think of me."

"Ok."

“But…” Noah pretended to be profound, “I still hope that the outside world’s evaluation of me is more accurate, so, baby, I will do what you just said to you.”

Qi Yuan immediately realized something was wrong. He asked in surprise, "Aren't you tired? Didn't you just fall asleep on the sofa because you were so tired?"

"I just caught up on some sleep, and I feel refreshed now." Noah's smile grew even more smug and cunning.

He really knows how to seize every opportunity.

He would seize any opportunity to trick Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan had planned everything meticulously, but he never anticipated this.

After being tormented all night, Qi Yuan cursed Noah in his heart the next morning. After breakfast, he sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing that he hadn't gone out, Petty happily ran over and bumped into Qi Yuan's arms: "Auntie, aren't you going out today?"

“If you don’t go out, your aunt will bring two children to find you, and I’ll play with you,” Qi Yuan said.

Petty pouted, thought for a moment, and said, "Auntie, you won't like them, will you?"

Qi Yuan smiled and patted the little girl's head. "No matter how good-looking or cute other people's children are, my favorite is Petty."

The little girl jumped up happily upon hearing this and gave Qi Yuan a big kiss.

Not long after, Daphne arrived at Davis's house with her two children.

Leo is the boy who takes care of the other children at the tea party, while Winnie is the leader of the girls at the tea party. She seems lively, and the other little girls love to play with her.

However, this was their first time in a completely unfamiliar place without their parents' guidance. The houses here were taller and bigger than their own, and there were not only servants but also bodyguards inside, which only made them feel scared.

Therefore, both children were somewhat reserved in front of Qi Yuan and Daphne.

On the contrary, the fearless Petty, upon seeing them, widened her sapphire blue eyes in surprise and confusion, and said to Qi Yuan, "Auntie, they are actually as tall as Petty!"

Patty ran over to them and looked them over carefully. The playful Patty suddenly sniffed Winnie like a puppy and said, "She smells different from Patty."

“Petty, you should introduce yourself when you meet someone for the first time,” Qi Yuan said.

Petty obediently followed Qi Yuan's instructions and introduced herself to the two children in front of her.

Knowing Petty's name, Leo and Winnie became much less reserved.

Patty was a lively and outgoing child. As soon as she learned Leo and Winnie's names, she immediately invited them to play in the toy room.

Petty's playroom was filled with lots of plush toys, which made Leo and Winnie's eyes light up. Children can quickly become friends and play together.

They had a lot of toys and also enjoyed playing house, so they quickly became friends, without any of the awkwardness or unease they felt when they first met.

Seeing Petty having so much fun with the two children, Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Daphne beside him, saying, "Auntie, thank you."

"I've already told you not to stand on ceremony with me, what's our relationship?"

As she spoke, Daphne turned to look around the house, quite nostalgic. "Across from this room used to be my toy room. Although my toys when I was little couldn't compare to the exquisite and beautiful ones Petty has now, it was still the best toy room in the entire city back then."
