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

After waiting for nearly five minutes, Qi Yuan remained silent except for blushing.

Noah couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire, "Yuan, can't you smell your own odor?"

At this moment, Qi Yuan's face turned even redder.

He hesitated for a while before finally managing to say, "I'll take a shower tomorrow."

"Wash? How do you want to wash?"

Noah asked innocently, like a child who truly wanted to know the answer.

Qi Yuan sensed a mocking tone in his words and found the man utterly annoying!

They can be very serious when they're being serious, but when they're deliberately picking a fight, they can be really infuriating!

Unfortunately, Qi Yuan was very straightforward. Even though he knew the other person was deliberately teasing him, he still answered seriously, "I'll have Asha fetch a basin of hot water and a towel, and I can wipe myself down."

"Can you even wipe it?" Noah asked. "You probably can't even bend over right now, can you?"

"What else should we do?"

Qi Yuan's voice sounded a bit anxious.

It is an anxious and helpless feeling.

Noah smiled and said, "Since you're my little cat, I can do my best to help you."

"you--!"

Qi Yuan is really anxious now.

Noah's calculations were so meticulous that they practically blew him away; how could he not know what the other party was thinking?

"Ah Yuan, after spending so many days together, don't you understand me yet? I won't force you. I just thought you smelled bad and wanted to wipe you down."

Noah explained in a serious tone: "Pettie seems to really like you reading stories to her. After class, she comes to you to read stories to her. But when she gets close, she notices a smell on you. Will her impression of you change from the handsome Qi Yuan to the smelly Qi Yuan?"

Qi Yuan frowned deeply, and he lowered his head to smell his own body.

Actually, it's not easy to sweat in the dead of winter, and Qi Yuan had been lying in bed unable to move for some time, so he didn't have any body odor. On the contrary, the medicine applied to his wounds had a strong smell.

Noah knew that Qi Yuan didn't smell of medicine at all, but since it was Qi Yuan who had brought up the topic, how could he admit his mistake? He continued to add fuel to the fire: "I heard that people who lie down for a long time, if they don't keep their bodies clean, they might get fleas or some kind of sores?"

Qi Yuan, who was obsessed with cleanliness, felt his scalp tingle upon hearing the description. He looked at Noah and said, "I'll have Asa fetch me a basin of hot water and a towel right now!"

“Asha has been by your side all day, and I’ve already sent him home to eat and rest at this time,” Noah said.

Asa, who was standing at the door, suddenly felt an itch on her nose and sneezed loudly. She thought to herself: "It's so warm in the house, why did I sneeze? Have I caught a cold?"

But soon, he resumed his serious and conscientious guard duty.

“Ah Yuan, do you like Ah Sha and want him to bathe you? If so, I’ll have Ah Sha’s head roll tomorrow,” Noah said.

Qi Yuan already knew what this old fox was plotting; the other party wouldn't stop until he was cornered.

"As the head of the Davis family, it's an embarrassment for you to wipe my body."

"I don't feel ashamed at all. I actually quite enjoy wiping things," Noah said with an innocent expression.

His overly straightforward and frank expression made Qi Yuan's awkwardness seem pretentious.

Qi Yuan thought of the dagger under his pillow and said, "I hid the dagger you gave me under my pillow."

“I know, I’ve known for a long time,” Noah smiled. “Yuan, please trust me a little more. I’ve said it before, I’m a gentleman and I will respect other people’s wishes.”

Qi Yuan thought to himself: If you were truly a gentleman, you wouldn't have used the excuse of having a certain odor to get closer to him step by step, forcing him to agree.

However, Noah was not entirely ungentlemanly.

Although he had many ulterior motives, he did not force Qi Yuan.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan gave up struggling and said helplessly, "Then I'll have to trouble the patriarch to help me."

"No trouble at all, no hardship, wait for me." Noah said calmly and slowly, but his steps quickened as he walked into the bathroom.

In no time, he brought out a basin of water at a suitable temperature, with a white towel placed next to it.

As he approached step by step, Qi Yuan became increasingly nervous.

There was a hint of fear in this tension.

When Noah was fully seated on the edge of the bed and lifted the covers, he found himself trembling with fear without even realizing it.

Noah noticed his slightly trembling body, and recalling the information he had gathered, his expression softened and became serious.

Looking at Qi Yuan, who seemed resolute as if he were going to his death, he asked, "Is the fear brought on by the shadows of prison life so hard to shake off?"

“I was only ten years old when I went to prison,” Qi Yuan said, his throat so sore that even swallowing hurt. “At that age, can you imagine how fucking stupid those people in prison were?”

Qi Yuan rarely swears unless he is really angry.

Noah could actually imagine what Qi Yuan looked like when he first went to prison. He's so handsome now, so when he first went to prison, his cheeks would have been a bit fleshier, and his eyes wouldn't have been as composed. Perhaps innocence and naivety would have been his most obvious traits back then.

With such a beautiful face, coupled with his innocence and naivety, Noah could already understand why the prisoners named him Rose.

“Name a few of them, and I’ll teach them a lesson for you,” Noah said.

Qi Yuan said coldly, "No need. I killed the one who went too far myself, and crippled three others as well. They know how ruthless I am, and they wouldn't dare gamble their lives with my second brother."

“But I’m different from them. Although I like men, I won’t force anyone who doesn’t want to,” Noah defended himself.

Qi Yuan looked at him with distrust.

Noah knew what that look meant, and explained, "Well, I do have some ulterior motives, but I simply like pretty things and want to take good care of every pretty thing."

Qi Yuan looked at him, though he was very suspicious of Noah's intentions.

However, the fact that Noah went to such lengths to please them, given his status, already demonstrated that he was different from the prisoners.

Furthermore, Noah had many opportunities to strike, but he didn't, which also speaks to his character.

Qi Yuan took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and said, "I believe you."

"Shall I wipe your body down? Of course, if you really don't like it, I can find a maid to wipe you down, or a man's bath will do too."

Qi Yuan looked up and glanced at him, saying, "Patriarch, you've already done so much, so please do it."

Perfect timing, let's take this opportunity to see just how gentlemanly Noah really is.

If he were truly a gentleman, perhaps their future interactions wouldn't be so awkward and twisted.

Noah smiled upon hearing this, "Alright, I'll do it. Ah Yuan, you're really lucky. I've only ever bathed and wiped down two people in my entire life."

"Is the first one Petty?" Qi Yuan asked.

Noah smiled and unbuttoned Qi Yuan's shirt. "Well, back then, the old man gave me a house to live in with Petty. Although there were servants to help, that little girl only wanted me. She would burst into tears whenever she was in someone else's hands. She had this crazy energy that she wanted to cry herself to death. Speaking of which, that little girl back then is a bit like you now."

He spoke to Qi Yuan in a relaxed tone, seemingly trying to divert Qi Yuan's attention with this lighthearted atmosphere.

But his method is effective.

They shifted their focus to a lighter topic and stopped paying attention to the act of wiping themselves down.

“I’m not like Patty. She just clings to you, but I don’t want to rely on you too much.”

"Two completely opposite people can also be similar. Ah Yuan, you're so skinny but you have abs, that's impressive!"

Qi Yuan glanced at his abs and felt a little sorry for them: "Once I recover from my illness, my abs will probably be gone. If I don't keep exercising, my abs will disappear at a visible rate."

"There's a dedicated gym at home. Once you're healed, you can train there. As long as you train diligently, your abs will come back in no time."

Qi Yuan suddenly felt a surge of curiosity, "What kind of man do you like?"

"Pretty, with abs. Can't be too effeminate. If I were to find someone too effeminate, I might as well go find a woman."

"Someone like Lennon doesn't like that?"

Upon hearing Lennon's name, Noah's face betrayed his disgust. He looked up and saw Qi Yuan's slightly upturned lips, a hint of smugness that anyone could tell was deliberately teasing him.

"Are you deliberately picking a fight? Lennon isn't pretty, his personality is awful, and his heart is full of scheming. If I liked someone like that, I'd be so tasteless!"

After saying that, Noah, as if in revenge, roughly wiped Qi Yuan's handsome face with the wet cloth.
