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

Thinking about it.

Qi Yuan successfully convinced himself.

The lingering resentment and frustration in my heart disappeared.

"It's not as important as apologizing. I'll take your kiss on the cheek as a greeting."

"Ah."

Noah pointed to his cheek.

Qi Yuan, puzzled as to why he suddenly made this gesture, asked, "What are you doing?"

"When you greet someone, you kiss them on the cheek. I kissed you as a greeting, so you should kiss me back."

Noah was just joking.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yuan suddenly moved closer and planted a kiss on his cheek.

Noah froze, as if he had been electrocuted, standing there motionless.

The touch of Qi Yuan's kiss still lingered on her cheek.

He raised his hand in disbelief and touched the spot where he had been kissed, asking in a daze, "You really kissed me?"

Seeing Noah's astonished and stunned expression.

Qi Yuan felt a sense of satisfaction at finally winning against him, and a little happy inside. "Yeah, just say hello, what's there to be shy about? Be more outgoing!"

"Ahem..." Noah coughed twice, then said with a serious expression, "Indeed, we should be more generous..."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile that he could hardly contain.

Noah tried hard to recall all the saddest things in his life, but he still couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from turning up.

Finally, he lowered his head to hide his joy.

"what are you laughing at?"

Qi Yuan noticed the smile on his face.

Noah pursed his lips and straightened his back: "I wasn't smiling. Let's greet each other like this from now on. When you greet someone, be natural."

He couldn't control the corners of his mouth from smiling, but he kept trying to hold it in.

Qi Yuan, who had been keeping a straight face, was somewhat infected by Noah's joy when he saw Noah trying to suppress his laughter, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He reached out and pinched Noah's cheek. "You were clearly smiling, and you never stopped."

"Nonsense, I said I didn't laugh, you've misunderstood, A-Yuan."

Noah wanted to be patient a little longer.

Qi Yuan looked at him in disbelief.

The two looked at each other.

He was reflected in his dark eyes.

His blue eyes reflected his own.

They only had eyes for each other.

Noah suddenly stopped laughing, his expression turning serious. "Yuan, if I said I'd be happy even if you kissed me just to say hello, would you be angry?"

"why?"

Qi Yuan didn't make any more jokes; his expression was serious.

"There's no reason why I like you. At first, I liked your face. After investigating your past, I liked your stubbornness. When I saw you being bullied by Lennon and your aunt, you didn't choose to stand on their side, so I liked your intelligence. Also, I like how well you get along with Patty."

Noah said, "I told you before, I raised Patty from a few months old. We have a very good relationship. My aunt and uncle used to introduce boys to me, but that little girl didn't like any of them and chased them all away."

"At first, I thought that the little girl was possessive of me because I raised her myself. Later I realized that the little girl has a very sharp eye. At such a young age, she can tell whether the people who get close to her are good or bad. She rarely gets close to anyone in this family except me, but after you came, she became close to you."

"That little girl is just like me. She likes what I like and she doesn't like what I don't like. So, since she likes you, why shouldn't I like you?"

Noah's reasoning was perfectly reasonable.

As he talked, he convinced himself.

Qi Yuan learned the reason but didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, he said, "Given your status and position, would you be loyal to someone for long?"

"Ah Yuan, don't underestimate me. Ever since I was old enough to understand, I've been determined never to follow in the footsteps of my scoundrel parents, who married and had children indiscriminately for profit. I'll only find someone I love and love for a lifetime!" Noah said, somewhat agitated.

From an outsider's perspective, it might seem ridiculous and absurd that someone with money and power would be devoted to one person.

Noah, however, was different.

He has seen parents who force themselves to stay together without any affection, and he has also experienced how difficult it is to live without parental love.

He had long ago vowed that even if he had to worry about it for the rest of his life, he would never want to live that kind of life.

"Then why do you think I can stay with you for a lifetime?" Qi Yuan asked.

Noah smiled. "I'm blinded by love right now. I like you no matter what you are like. Of course, if one day you love me and then abandon me, I'll kill you."

Noah's expression turned cold at the last sentence.

He could accept that Qi Yuan never loved him from the beginning, but he couldn't accept betrayal after falling in love.

Qi Yuan was not frightened by his words and expression; his expression remained calm.

Noah said, "Yuan, I will continue to pursue you, and if you really can't like me, just keep rejecting me. Don't try to give me any sweetness, otherwise I will go crazy for this little bit of sweetness."

“You’re a bit like a madman,” Qi Yuan said.

Noah smiled. "Born into a family full of scheming and no love, how many children wouldn't go crazy? I'm considered to be one of the more restrained ones."

"Then restrain yourself a bit more, and stop teasing and flirting with me all the time."

"Ah Yuan, are you afraid I'll make your heart flutter?"

Seeing the smugness in Noah's eyes, Qi Yuan didn't lie and frankly admitted, "I'm not one to be coerced. If you use force, I'll fight you to the death. But if you use gentleness on me, I don't know how to deal with it."

After spending some time with Noah, Qi Yuan was no longer afraid of his identity and status.

Because Noah never showed the cold-blooded and ruthless side of the Davis family head in front of him, and even consulted with Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan felt that the person in front of him was someone who could be communicated with.

Since we can communicate, there's no need to be afraid.

Therefore, sometimes Noah's actions genuinely angered him, but he didn't express it, not because he was afraid of Noah's position, but because Noah's actions were so weak that he didn't know how to respond.

Noah smiled with delight upon hearing this, "Ah Yuan, it seems you're telling me how to win your heart?"

"Be serious." Qi Yuan picked up his notebook and tapped Noah's head lightly. "Let's not talk about these things, let's talk about something important."

"What could be more important than our love talk?"

"Who's talking about love with you?" Qi Yuan glared at him helplessly. "When you were kissing me in the living room just now, you said I did something big for you, something related to Mr. Crawford. What are you planning to do?"

"It's nothing, just talking to the Leopold family about collaborating on this project. They don't have many resources, so they should be very welcoming of my involvement."
