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

The wind and snow have stopped, but the night will not.

As soon as it got dark.

Noah tidied up the work on his desk and returned to the main house.

In the main house, Qi Yuan didn't go into the kitchen today, but instead read fairy tales to Petty in the living room.

In the spacious living room, bodyguards stood quietly around, while servants moved quietly with their tasks, seemingly afraid of disturbing Qi Yuan as he read to Petty.

The only sound in the living room was Qi Yuan's gentle and pleasant reading voice, which, under the lamplight, had an indescribable sense of peace and comfort.

Noah took off his heavy coat, walked over, and sat down next to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan sensed his arrival and turned his head to look.

Noah said, "You all continue, don't worry about me."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan continued to read aloud.

Suddenly, I was kissed on the cheek.

His expression froze, and he turned his head to look at Noah with a hint of anger, as if asking: What's the meaning of this kiss?

Noah gave a cheeky grin. "This is a reward, Yuan. You did me a big favor today."

"Mr. Crawford's matter?" After thinking it over, Qi Yuan could only think of this one thing.

Noah nodded. "Yes."

"Can't I ask for a reward myself?" Qi Yuan really wanted to say, "Can you please not kiss me like that again? It's so scary!"

He felt that Noah was pushing his luck.

After successfully stealing a kiss once, subsequent kisses became increasingly taken for granted.

Indeed, we cannot tolerate this!

"Okay, what do you want?"

Noah sat up straight, indicating that he would listen carefully.

If he were to actually offer a reward, Qi Yuan would feel embarrassed to say so.

His intention was to stop Noah from kissing him indiscriminately, but he never thought he would actually reward him.

He frowned and looked at Petty.

Little Petty's big, bright eyes were filled with excitement and innocence as she looked at him.

Qi Yuan didn't know why the little girl suddenly became excited, like she had found a new toy.

Suddenly, the little girl uttered something surprising: "Auntie!"

"puff……"

"Cough cough..."

Noah almost burst out laughing.

Qi Yuan choked on his own saliva.

He never imagined that people could actually choke on their own saliva when they were surprised.

Noah gently patted Qi Yuan's back, suppressing a laugh, and said, "You'll have to call the child sooner or later, so it's good for you to get used to it beforehand!"

"you……"

Qi Yuan really wanted to curse Noah.

I searched my mind for a long time but couldn't find any words to curse him.

He felt that he had been in Noah's trap from the very beginning.

Noah was initially a gentleman and showed her goodwill, making her mistakenly believe that even if he was attracted to men, he would not force her if she did not want to.

Little did he know, Noah was taking a step-by-step approach, gradually bending him.

So much so that now, when Little Petty calls him Auntie, he feels both angry and frustrated, and for a moment he doesn't know how to describe his feelings.

"I was wrong, honey, don't be upset," Noah comforted.

Qi Yuan, still trying to save face, asked, "Why am I an aunt? Can't I be an uncle?"

“Uncle is related by blood, but aunt is not,” Patty replied. “Aunt, even if Patty likes you very much, you can never be Patty’s uncle.”

Qi Yuan: "..."

How did my child suddenly become so smart?

Petty's words left Qi Yuan speechless.

Noah, however, was very pleased.

The child can speak so logically and with such evidence, it seems he has been paying close attention in class lately. Such a smart child should take an extra class.

“Ah Yuan, actually, if you want to be on top, I can let you have it,” Noah said.

Qi Yuan was so angry with the two of them that he didn't know what to say.

"You know perfectly well that's not what I meant?"

"If it's not this one, then it's that one?"

Noah was pretending to be ignorant when he knew the truth.

Qi Yuan gritted his teeth, "If you steal a kiss on my cheek again, I'm running away from home!"

"Don't run away from home, Auntie. The teacher said that good children don't run away from home. Running away from home is something only bad children do."

"If you continue to speak up for your uncle, I won't read you fairy tales," Qi Yuan threatened the little girl, having no other choice.

The little girl immediately replied, "I won't speak up for my uncle anymore. Auntie, please continue reading to me."

"Don't call me aunt."

"Okay, Auntie!"

"you……"

Qi Yuan really didn't know what to say.

Looking at how infuriating this little girl is, one can only say that she truly is a child raised by Noah, their personalities are so similar!

Noah was in a great mood and took the book from Qi Yuan's hand. "Auntie needs time to sort out her thoughts, so your handsome uncle will read to you. Where are we?"

"here!"

Little Petty immediately moved to Noah's side and pointed to a word in the book with her little finger.

Noah was looking at the words on the screen and was about to start reading when he saw Qi Yuan getting up to leave. He put one arm around Qi Yuan's slender waist and pulled him into his arms.

"Don't go, Auntie. We've only read half of the book. Aren't you curious about what happens next? Sit still and let your uncle read it to you."

Little Petty sat obediently, just like a little chick waiting to be fed. She was so well-behaved!

Qi Yuan wanted to leave, but Noah put his arm around his waist and insisted on listening to him finish reading the storybook.

Qi Yuan felt a slight, inexplicable anger at what Noah and Petty had done tonight, so after dinner he went back to his room first.

After comforting Petty and putting her to sleep, Noah went to Qi Yuan's room.

Qi Yuan sat on the bed expressionlessly, holding a paper and a pen in his hand.

Although he was expressionless, Noah could tell that he was angry.

After thinking for a moment, Noah walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, glancing at the paper in Qi Yuan's hand, which contained some arrangements and plans for the restaurant.

Are you still sulking?

Kyle reported on the restaurant situation today.

Noah knew that after two more days of training for the restaurant staff, the restaurant could officially open.

The food, drinks, and desserts sold in the restaurant are all fine.

Qi Yuan was still holding what he had written last night. It was obvious that he was sulking and not really thinking about the restaurant.

"What exactly are you hiding from me?" Qi Yuan stopped beating around the bush and asked directly.

“Haven’t I made it very obvious?” Noah said. “I’m pursuing you.”

His answer was also frank and honest, without any concealment.

Qi Yuan was stunned when he heard this.

My mind went blank; I couldn't think of anything to refute it.

Noah said, "I know that prison life has made you homophobic, so I didn't use any harsh methods. Kissing you today was a bit rude. Is it too late for me to apologize now?"

Noah looked at Qi Yuan with sincere eyes.

It seems they really want to apologize.

Qi Yuan's mind was in turmoil after hearing what he said.

Prison life made him homophobic.

But wouldn't it seem petty and coy to make Noah apologize for kissing me on the cheek?

People from the North Island have a tradition of greeting each other by kissing or touching cheeks.

If we interpret Noah's actions as a greeting, wouldn't it seem less awkward and petty? And wouldn't we be less affected by Noah's behavior?
