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

Because of these.

When Nick found him, he told him that Qi Yuan wanted to join [Darkfire], but the specific reasons were unknown.

But Xie Li hoped that Qi Yuan would stand on his side.

No one ever complains about having too few allies.

Although Qi Yuan's identity was awkward in Juecheng, it was true that he was highly favored.

Of course, it seems like they've run into some relationship problems tonight.

But this is still advantageous to them.

Qi Yuan knows a lot about the Davis family. Even if his relationship with Noah falls apart, Noah will become the person who hates Qi Yuan the most. After all, Qi Yuan has a criminal record, and people still talk about his "heroic deeds" during his years in prison.

As long as Qi Yuan is genuinely looking out for them, his joining [Darkfire] is a blessing for them.

However, if Qi Yuan joined them in order to capture them all, there is a risk involved. Therefore, Xie Li is observing and testing Qi Yuan today to see what his true intentions are.

Xie Li could tell from today's exchange that Qi Yuan was holding back, and of course, he was also holding back against Qi Yuan.

I don't know what will happen next, but today is over.

When they reached the fork in the road, the two said goodbye and went their separate ways.

Qi Yuan returned to Davis's house. He glanced at Asha, who was following behind him, and said, "Asha, you don't need to report today's events to Noah. I will report them myself."

“Mr. Qi Yuan, this…” Asha hesitated.

He's the most confused person right now.

He had no idea what was going on between Qi Yuan and Noah.

He had no idea why Qi Yuan wanted to take his job.

Qi Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, he won't blame you. Don't worry, go home after get off work."

After thinking about it, Asha had no choice but to agree to Qi Yuan's request and go home after get off work.

Qi Yuan went out today and came back later than expected. When Petty saw him return, she asked him why he was so late.

Qi Yuan teased the little girl for a bit, then asked her if she had entertained her two friends.

Petty was quite proud of himself when he said that.

She claimed that she was good at taking care of people, and that she didn't argue with anyone and got along well with everyone.

Qi Yuan asked Petty, and the answer he got was that the three little ones were getting along better and better.

With someone by her side, Petty's happiness level increased significantly every day.

After coaxing her to sleep, Noah returned to the room.

He put down the documents in his hand when he heard the door open, and looked at Qi Yuan with a pleading look and a hint of grievance.

Seeing his expression, Qi Yuan asked with a smile, "Why are you making that face?"

"I'm afraid I'll misunderstand you, so I'll play the victim beforehand. If I play the victim, you won't be allowed to scold me later," Noah said.

Qi Yuan sat down next to him and asked with a smile, "Is it because of what happened tonight in front of the restaurant, when you and Xiu pretended to be intimate?"

"What do you mean, 'pretending to be affectionate'? We weren't being affectionate!" Noah quickly explained, "That guy just touched the hem of my clothes, I didn't let him touch me anywhere else. He didn't want to touch me either, saying he'd be letting Shi Bai down. Humph! He's the one who's letting me down, but I'm even more letting you down!"

"You two are being far too chaste. You feel like you're being unfaithful just because you touched the hem of someone's clothes?"

"Of course, even if it's fake, I want Xiu to be as far away from me as possible. The closest person to me, besides my bodyguards, is you."

Noah, like a cat begging for a hug, clung to Qi Yuan, whispering sweet nothings in his ear.

This clinginess left Qi Yuan speechless, so he changed the subject, asking, "Why are you back so early today?"

“Those Darkfire guys only deal with one place at a time. We’ve finished with the Davis family’s business, so now we’re going to deal with the other three families. They’re being fair, not targeting the Davis family.”

Noah was busy the past few days, mainly because senior employees from various regions of the Davis family were coming to hold banquets. He was busy trying to protect their lives and also to prevent Darkfire from causing trouble.

In fact, being busy and successful is quite good.

The car attack by the Darkfire did not harm anyone.

With no banquets planned and a relatively leisurely Christmas holiday in the lead-up, Noah naturally relaxed.

"Honey, besides Nick, who's the person across from you having dinner at the restaurant tonight?"

“Sheri Witt,” Qi Yuan said. “You should know him; I heard he’ll be the next bishop.”

Noah nodded. "I do know him. We've met a few times in the church. But he's very famous in Juecheng. He exchanged all his wealth for food to give to the poor."

"He is a relatively important member of Darkfire."

A hint of surprise flashed in Noah's eyes. He looked at Qi Yuan, his expression becoming more serious: "Really?"

Qi Yuan nodded and told Noah what had happened that day.

Noah listened quietly as Qi Yuan finished speaking.

After recounting what happened today, Qi Yuan said, "I told them about wireless communication; it was a bait I threw out to them. Also, your performance tonight was excellent. You actually cooperated with Xiu in that whole thing, and I even deliberately acted like I hated you in front of them."

“I happened to be running errands nearby and ran into Xiu. I was just about to say a few words and leave when I saw the lights on on the second floor of your restaurant, so I peeked in. I saw the expression on your face and wondered if you wanted me to play along, so I pulled that stunt. But when I got home, Asha told me you were angry tonight, and I was wondering if you were jealous?”

Qi Yuan was startled: "Asha is still waiting for you to come back so he can report what happened to me today? I clearly told him to leave work early and that I would report it to him."

Noah smiled smugly. "Even if Asa respects you the most, he still has to listen to me before you. So, even if you don't let him report, he'll still tell me."

"Your boastful words made me a little jealous and angry." Qi Yuan felt powerless.

Noah smiled and fiddled with Qi Yuan's slender fingers. "Don't be angry. I've already told Asha that he doesn't need to report to me about things you don't want him to report. He'll listen to you."

Noah looked at Qi Yuan with a smile in his blue eyes, his thin lips curving slightly: "I used to have Asha report to me because I thought you had a strong personality and would find your own way to deal with being bullied outside without telling me. Now I realize that if you are bullied, you will fight back yourself. So, I can rest assured."

Noah's words sounded like a mother watching her child grow up, her expression filled with immense satisfaction.

Qi Yuan said, "I've protected myself for so many years. I don't know why you think I'm being bullied and that I'll just obediently let myself be bullied?"

“The first time we met,” Noah said.

Qi Yuan was taken aback for a moment, recalling that when the two first met, it didn't seem particularly special.

"When we first met, Kalis brought you to me. You could have just lied for a little while and that would have been fine, but you insisted on confessing that you had just been released from prison. Didn't you think about what I was thinking at that moment?"

"It was my 30th birthday! I invited so many people, and the whole table was filled with my family. Then this guy who insisted on coming to see me showed up and gave me a hard time. How embarrassing was that?"

"Why didn't you ever think of lying to me?"

Noah is bringing up old grievances.

Qi Yuan said, "Back then, I didn't know what kind of person you were, nor did I want to be your male concubine. I was also angry about being sold a second time. But what's wrong with you? Do you like Kalis? He's the one who brought me here, yet you're offering me a bullet and making me drink?! What do you mean by that?!"

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan immediately felt angry, turned over and sat on Noah's lap, grabbing Noah's tie with one hand and questioning him.

Noah didn't expect that the stone he lifted would end up hitting his own foot. He tried to get away with a smile, saying, "Baby, there's a proper order to dealing with people. You were so aggressive back then, acting like you were going to kill me. I was definitely going to deal with you first before dealing with Kalis."

"Do you want me to help you recall what you said that day?" Qi Yuan asked.

Noah admitted defeat again, "I was wrong, I was wrong! If something like this happens again, I'll kill the one who started it all!"

"You want a future? You want to date someone younger and prettier than me..."

Before Qi Yuan could finish speaking, Noah suddenly leaned in and interrupted him with his lips, preventing Qi Yuan from saying the rest of his words.

The atmosphere gradually turned pink.

Noah looked at Qi Yuan, who was slightly out of breath, and said, "I misspoke because I'm bad at words. It means that if something similar happens in the future, that is, if someone instigates someone to do something bad, I will kill that instigator immediately!"

"You don't need to doubt me anymore when it comes to loving you. Of course, you can't say things like that anymore, even as a joke. It hurts me. Even if it's said jokingly, it still hurts my heart."

Noah touched his heart and looked at Qi Yuan with a wronged expression.

Qi Yuan looked at him, a slight smile playing on his lips. "You, the head of the Davis family, are too sensitive. You won't even let others make a joke."

"Absolutely not! Even joking about something like this is painful!"

Noah stared intently at Qi Yuan and said, "We can act like this in front of outsiders, but we can't do it in private, understand?"

"Understood, fragile patriarch."

Hearing this, Noah reached out and hugged the person with satisfaction.

“Alright, that’s enough about your business. Now it’s time to talk about mine,” Noah said. “There’s a banquet for the four major families tomorrow night. It’s a traditional banquet. Every year before Christmas, the four major families, along with mayors and police chiefs from various regions, gather for a banquet. It’s basically just eating and drinking. Important matters aren’t discussed at the banquet. It’s a gathering to relax. You’ll come with me tomorrow night.”

Qi Yuan nodded.

"You've already given your approval? Tomorrow night's banquet will be a gathering of the four great vampires of the Northern Continent, along with incompetent federal officials. Darkfire is bound to cause trouble. Although we've increased security, we're not sure what they'll do, and you might encounter danger if you go with them."

"If you dare to take me, wouldn't I be a coward if I didn't?" Qi Yuan retorted.

Noah smiled helplessly, "You really are a little devil sent by God to punish me!"
