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

"I heard from the doctor that some people are allergic to certain smells. Are you sure you won't?" Noah asked skeptically. "Yuan, I know you really want to hug me right now, but you can't lie."

Qi Yuan rolled his eyes at him. "I'm allergic to you. Don't ever come near me again!"

"No, Yuan, why are you being so stingy?"

As he spoke, Noah took two or three steps closer to Qi Yuan, staring at the changes in Qi Yuan's face. "You really don't have an allergic reaction."

"No. When I was a kid, I used to clean up empty bottles for Kalis and the others. Their office was full of the smell of alcohol, but it didn't kill me," Qi Yuan said.

Noah was a little angry when he heard this. "Looks like I'll have to make that guy clean toilets in jail for three months."

"Were you really bullied tonight?" Qi Yuan asked, changing the subject.

Noah's face immediately fell. "Although I wasn't bullied like Patty was by the two Chad kids, with chocolate sauce smeared on me and my shoes stepped on, I was harassed by my second great-uncle!"

As he spoke, Noah buried his head in Qi Yuan's shoulder.

“Those elders who are older than me have been making things difficult for me. It’s so upsetting. I’m too afraid to say a word back when they scold me.”

If Daphne and the others were there, hearing Noah spout such nonsense, they would want to punch him, and add: You better be like that!

Qi Yuan didn't really believe that Noah would not fight back after being bullied, but since he had said so, how could he not believe him?

He gently patted Noah on the shoulder. "Don't be sad. You're an adult. Be strong."

"But I'm just sad."

Noah lied.

Seeing his somewhat unreasonable behavior, Qi Yuan turned his head and kissed him on the cheek. "Don't be sad. If you're not strong enough, how can you protect Petty?"

Noah was surprised that Qi Yuan would comfort him like this, and his eyes lit up, revealing a smile of triumph.

He didn't keep up the act. One should know when to stop. He said, "Ah Yuan, you're right. I still need to protect you and Petty. Let's go, I'll go with you to make dumplings."

As he spoke, he supported Qi Yuan, shook off the cane in Qi Yuan's hand, and finally picked him up horizontally.

Qi Yuan was taken aback.

He wasn't light, but Noah lifted him up as easily as if he were a doll.

This was the first time Qi Yuan had been hugged like this, and he didn't dare to struggle.

His foot was almost healed, but he was afraid that if he struggled and fell again, his foot would not heal properly.

Come to the kitchen.

Qi Yuan took out the dumpling wrappers he had brought back. The meat filling was prepared in a hurry, but it was very simple. He quickly prepared the meat filling and started making dumplings.

Noah and Petty, seeing this, wanted to follow suit.

Petty quickly learned how to make dumplings, while Noah was indeed very slow. Even with Qi Yuan teaching him step by step, he still couldn't make them well.

Qi Yuan looked at him and asked, "Did you do it on purpose? Or was it accidental?"

"I did it on purpose," Noah answered honestly.

Qi Yuan sighed helplessly, "You're quite honest."

"Of course, you can't lie in front of children."

"Huh?" Patty looked up at Noah in confusion, thinking: Who said on the way back that I should tell my aunt that I was bullied tonight, or I would lose my aunt?

Patty thought to herself: My uncle is so hard to understand. One minute he wants me to lie, the next he doesn't want me to lie. So should I lie or not?

“Look, even the kids agree,” Noah said, giving Petty a wink.

Petty understood immediately, nodded firmly, and said, "Yes, we can't lie."

Qi Yuan looked helplessly at the two, one big and one small. He just wanted to tell Noah not to play dumb. He clearly knew how to make dumplings but still needed him to teach him step by step. This really wasted time eating late-night snacks.

But when I thought about how much they had suffered tonight, I became much more tolerant of them.

What should have been a 30-minute meal of dumplings took Noah an hour to prepare.

Fortunately, they came back early enough to eat at 10:30.

Otherwise, we might not be able to eat until midnight.

Petty was a child, and her strength was not enough to support her staying up as late as the adults. After finishing the dumplings in her bowl, she leaned her little head on the table. Not quite asleep, she chewed the dumplings in her mouth and swallowed them before finally falling asleep peacefully.

Qi Yuan was a little worried that the child might choke, as children are prone to choking when eating while half asleep. After checking and confirming that the child hadn't choked, he asked Catherine to take the child back to the room to rest.

Noah, using the excuse that he needed comforting after being bullied tonight, cuddled Qi Yuan and fell asleep peacefully.

the next day.

Petty, who attended a family gathering, was given a two-day holiday and started nagging Qi Yuan to play with her early in the morning.

Qi Yuan realized that since the dumplings went on sale, they immediately became the restaurant's best-selling dish. The only person in the restaurant who knew how to make dumplings was Aubrey. Even though there was one more employee to help Aubrey make dumplings, it was still not enough to sell.

So, starting yesterday, Qi Yuan will go to the restaurant to help make dumplings.

But Petty kept insisting that he play with her, and Qi Yuan said he would be back in two hours and bring dumplings for the child when he returned.

Only when the child heard that there were dumplings did he let go of Qi Yuan's hand and let him go out to the restaurant to help make dumplings.

Qi Yuan and Xiu left home at 7:30 to go to the restaurant to make dumplings.

In the restaurant's kitchen, Aubrey and Casio arrived early; one was kneading dough, and the other was chopping dumpling filling.

Qi Yuan wanted to ask the two of them why they had arrived so early, but then the other employees also came to the kitchen one after another, and they skillfully picked up aprons and started working.

When they returned to their posts, they were somewhat surprised to see that Qi Yuan and Xiu had already arrived.

"Boss, why are you here so early today?" an employee asked.

Qi Yuan said, "I have something to do today. I'll be home after two hours. Thank you for your hard work today."

"It's not hard work, boss. With such a high salary, we will work hard."

With a daily wage of 300 yuan, this is the highest daily wage they have earned in all their years of working. In order to live up to this wage, the restaurant staff now arrive at the restaurant two hours early to ensure that the restaurant is in its cleanest condition to welcome customers.

"Ah Yuan, you keep busy for the next two hours. I'm going out for a bit and will be back in two hours," Xiu said.

Qi Yuan knew what he was going out to do, so he didn't stop him and agreed to let him go out.

Xiu left directly through the back door.

Not long after everyone started working, an employee cleaning the restaurant suddenly walked into the kitchen, carrying a beautifully packaged cardboard box, and said, "Boss, the owner of the shop next door sent you a cake, saying it's to thank you for the dumplings you sent before."

"I don't like sweets, you guys eat it." Qi Yuan didn't even glance at the cake and refused outright.

Everyone was delighted upon hearing this, as they hadn't had breakfast yet. They set the cake aside and grabbed knives and forks to cut it.

This is a chocolate cake, beautifully designed and decorated with many apricots, making it very tempting. Everyone is waiting to share this delicious treat.

Just then, Casio suddenly said, "Wait, don't eat it yet, something's not right with this cake!"
