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

Seeing that Nick wasn't going to say anything more, Qi Yuan knew that his plan to fool him had succeeded.

Qi Yuan realized that the three organizations might have been in cahoots from the beginning, and even Nick became untrustworthy.

When venturing into dangerous territory, it's essential to have multiple backup plans to avoid unexpected situations.

Noah felt that it was dangerous for him to go into the Darkfire Gang's Davis's house, but Qi Yuan was a man who valued his life and would not let himself die in a ridiculous way.

He would absolutely never choose to die a death that is sent to his death.

Therefore, even before entering the Darkfire area, he started to deceive Nick as well.

Shirley has a lot to do.

After saying he had something to do, he never appeared in front of Qi Yuan again.

Qi Yuan wouldn't just wait around; he first played around in the courtyard. Not long after, the bishop, hearing that Qi Yuan had arrived, came to greet him personally.

After chatting with him for a while, Qi Yuan donated 500,000 yuan to the church in his own name.

This 500,000 yuan was money that Qi Yuan earned himself, and he took it out.

It's half the millions Noah casually donated, but for the church, having someone donate money is a good thing.

Therefore, the bishop still greeted Qi Yuan with a smile.

Shirley arrived at the appointment two hours earlier than expected, and finished what was supposed to be done at seven o'clock by five.

Qi Yuan invited him to take a car to the restaurant.

In preparation for Christmas.

Qi Yuan's restaurant has given its employees a holiday.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the doors were tightly closed.

When Xie Li saw the closed door, he assumed that Qi Yuan was going to eat at another restaurant.

Qi Yuan only remembered when he arrived at the restaurant that he had given his employees the day off.

The restaurant is currently closing time.

However, getting a meal is particularly easy.

Qi Yuan had the driver go to a shop, buy meat and vegetables, and then returned to the restaurant.

They entered the kitchen through the back door of the restaurant.

Before the employees went on holiday, they cleaned the kitchen thoroughly and made it spotless.

Enter the kitchen.

Qi Yuan said, "Priest Xie Li, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that I gave the staff the day off. Luckily, it's still early. Would you mind if I cooked a meal for you both?"

“Mr. Qi, is it a privilege reserved for the head of a family to be able to eat your cooking? In that case, it’s an honor for both of us,” Nick said.

Qi Yuan said, "On the first day the restaurant opened, I personally cooked and helped in the kitchen. Everyone who came to the restaurant that day tasted my cooking."

Qi Yuan practically said: Don't flatter me, I'm not that high and mighty.

Nick was speechless after Qi Yuan's words.

He felt that Qi Yuan was like he had swallowed a bomb today, every word he said was sarcastic. Was it because he hadn't flattered Qi Yuan in the right place?

“Since Boss Qi is going to cook for himself, I’ll help him out,” Xie Li said, rolling up his sleeves.

Qi Yuan, holding a kitchen knife, asked, "Have you ever cooked before?"

The two men, who had once been young masters, suddenly fell silent.

Even though Shirley is now a priest, he has a high position in the church and has never actually cooked.

Needless to say, Nick, although he is the leader of an assassin organization, is still a young master.

"Since neither of you has cooked, let's not make things worse. Go wash some vegetables; that's the easiest thing to do."

Nick: "..."

He thought Qi Yuan would say, "If you didn't cook anything, don't just sit and wait to eat," but in the end, he still arranged for the two of them to wash the vegetables.

In some ways, Qi Yuan was the highest-ranking among them. Besides, since he personally cooked, it didn't seem unreasonable for them to wash vegetables.

So the two of them obediently went to wash some vegetables.

There wasn't enough time to make a congee-based hot pot, so Qi Yuan decided to make a simple pork bone broth-based hot pot.

Cut the meat into slices and mince the shrimp into a paste. We'll make shrimp balls later.

After preparing the sauce, the hot pot is ready.

Qi Yuan's restaurant specializes in hot pot. Although this time we didn't have a congee-based hot pot, the utensils used were the same.

After preparing the broth, they went to a private room on the second floor near the wall, put the ingredients and broth in, poured in heated charcoal, and waited for the pot to boil. Qi Yuan then put thinly sliced ​​beef into the hot broth to blanch.

The boiling water cooked the beef in no time.

Qi Yuan separated the meat between the two of them and said, "Try it."

Nick and Shelley exchanged a glance, dipped the beef in the sauce, and put it in their mouths.

The tender, juicy beef, soaked in the delicious broth, burst in their mouths. Nick and Shelley's eyes widened instantly, as if they could hardly believe that such delicious beef existed in the world.

"How is it?" Qi Yuan asked.

Nick couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "It's so delicious! Mr. Qi, I've had congee hot pot at your restaurant twice before, and while it was pretty good, it's not as good as what you make."

"I'm glad you like it," Qi Yuan said.

Nick and Shelley really enjoyed the hot pot that Qi Yuan made. They could eat as much meat as they wanted, and even though they ate so much meat, they didn't feel greasy. Halfway through the meal, they took a sip of lemon tea, and the sweet and sour taste quickly dispelled the greasiness from the meat. Then they continued eating, and it was delicious and tasty.

When they were about half full, they slowed down their eating.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan slowed down the process of scalding the meat.

Just then, the sound of a child came from downstairs.

"It's snowing! It's snowing!"

"These snowflakes are so big, will it snow heavily again tonight?"

"It's snowing, hurry inside! Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

Hearing the children's voices, the three of them looked out the window at the same time.

Lights were on in every house outside the window.

Under the orange streetlights, snowflakes could be seen falling one by one.

A ragged homeless man knocks on doors along the way, begging for a little food.

When Xie Li saw the homeless man, he asked, "Mr. Qi Yuan, we have so much food left. Why don't we give some to Mr. Na?"

"Okay." Qi Yuan picked up a bowl full of beef and was about to hand it to Asha so that she could deliver it.

Asha also realized Qi Yuan's intention and looked straight at him.

It seems to be saying: Mr. Qi Yuan, I will protect you here.

Nick noticed this too, took the bowl from Qi Yuan, and said, "I'll deliver it."

With that, he picked up the bowl and left.

Xie Li watched his retreating figure, then turned back to Qi Yuan and said, "Mr. Qi Yuan is truly kind; he gave away such a full bowl of meat like that."

“Priestess Sheli, if you’re going to praise me next time, could you use a different word? I’ve heard you use the word ‘kind’ far too many times today.”

"Although I would like to use other words, Mr. Qi Yuan, what you did was kindness."

“What do you mean I’m kind? Mr. Shelley, I’ve killed people before.” Qi Yuan replied calmly, looking intently at Shelley, and said, “I should have quite a reputation in Juecheng. If Mr. Shelley has heard of me, he should know what happened when I entered the Davis family. So, am I truly kind, or just pretending to be kind? You should have your own opinion.”
