Qi Yuan looked at his frivolous manner and sat down on the sofa. "It's not completely healed yet. Just don't exert yourself too much. It should be fully healed in another two days."

As he spoke, Qi Yuan lifted his foot and placed it on the sofa, pinching his heel to make sure it still hurt.

Noah's gaze fell on Qi Yuan's feet.

Qi Yuan's feet had round and cute toes, and the shape and length of his five toes were just right.

Noah was seeing what beautiful feet were for the first time. Qi Yuan's feet were very beautiful. He lifted his own feet and glanced at them, then immediately looked down on them.

My own big feet aren't as good-looking as Qi Yuan's, are they?

"Honey, why aren't you wearing shoes? Be careful not to slip," Noah warned.

After Qi Yuan fell down the stairs, Noah gave him shoes to wear. He was genuinely worried that Qi Yuan would fall down the stairs without shoes.

"I just wanted to walk around barefoot for a bit, to get a feel for it. I'll put my shoes back on if it's alright." As he spoke, Qi Yuan looked up. "Are you going to see Xiu later?"

"Ah."

"I'll go as well."

"Don't go," Noah stopped him. "We don't know what Uncle will do next. You might run into danger if you go out with me. Stay home and play with Patty."

The accident just happened yesterday, and Noah won't let Qi Yuan go out for the next few days. He needs some time to investigate the dangers and find those people.

"Xiu is fine. If he's alright at the hospital today, I'll bring him back to recuperate."

There are too many bodyguards sent to the hospital. Although Davis has connections, it would be better to keep them all in one place.

Noah had originally planned to take the injured person home if the injury wasn't too serious, since the Davis family could have a doctor on call 24/7.

When Qi Yuan heard that Xiu would be brought back, he stopped insisting on going.

At this moment, the butler came over and said, "Master, two people claiming to be employees of Mr. Qi Yuan's restaurant are requesting an audience. They are asking if Mr. Qi Yuan's restaurant is open today?"

Yesterday's incident was urgent, and Qi Yuan said he would take a day off. After the restaurant staff had a day off, they were unsure whether they would have another day off today, so they came to ask Qi Yuan for his opinion.

“If there’s nothing else to do, just open the shop. Ah Yuan, if you don’t go to the restaurant, those people probably won’t target it,” Noah said.

He knew that if the other party really wanted to make a move, they would only target Qi Yuan and Xiu. Targeting the restaurant staff would be a waste of their energy and might even expose them, so they wouldn't target unimportant people.

Qi Yuan nodded. "Butler, tell them to open the shop today and to do as usual. Just tell the employee who was poisoned to continue resting, and he will still be paid his salary during his rest period."

The injured employee was injured because of Qi Yuan. According to the rules of the other world, injuries sustained during work are considered work-related injuries. Although the term "work-related injury" does not exist here, Qi Yuan still counted it as a work-related injury for the other party.

The housekeeper nodded in agreement and went out to inform the employees waiting outside.

After the butler left, Noah remembered something and asked, "Honey, are you planning to continue using the Casio?"

“Hmm,” Qi Yuan said, “His identity is somewhat special, but he knows medicine and can smell poison in food immediately, so my restaurant won’t have to worry about being poisoned in the future.”

Noah smiled. "Honey, you had this in mind all along. How come I didn't think of that?"

"Although you didn't expect it, the fact that you called him to Davis's house for questioning and then let him go shows that he is trustworthy to you."

Qi Yuan didn't ask so many questions at the restaurant yesterday because he knew that Asha would definitely report it to Noah, and Noah would investigate Casio's matter immediately.

Based on my experience working with Casio, he is a quiet, hardworking, and good employee, but he will stand up immediately when there is danger.

When the restaurant employee accidentally ate the poisoned cake, Casio immediately pulled him aside and took emergency measures. His willingness to help shows he's not a bad person.

Qi Yuan didn't think Casio was someone's spy coming to cause him trouble, because his visit to the restaurant that day was random, and the homeless people resting in the restaurant that day were also random.

No one would have imagined that he would hire all those homeless people as new employees of the restaurant.

With such a high degree of randomness, unless someone really intends to mess with themselves from the start, they wouldn't arrange for anyone to appear in a place where they might be.

Qi Yuan didn't think he had anything that anyone could use. He was an orphan who had spent five years in prison. He was penniless and his only redeeming quality was his face.

Although he is known outside as the male concubine of the Davis family head, this identity is not glamorous. Moreover, the people of the Northern Continent are somewhat old-fashioned and not very accepting of male-male relationships, as can be seen from the fact that Xiu and Shi Bai were forcibly separated.

Therefore, Qi Yuan felt that Casio was usable, or at least harmless to him.

When Noah heard that Qi Yuan's trust in Casio was partly due to him, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up. "Yuan, it seems you trust me a lot now, and you actually think my decision is right."

"Because you are very smart," Qi Yuan said bluntly.

Noah was even happier. "Yuan, does this mean you've fallen for me?"

Qi Yuan's face darkened slightly. "Can't I praise you? If I do, you tend to go astray."

“Even if it goes off track, I still have to praise you, Yuan. I did so well, I’d be sad if you didn’t praise me,” Noah said.

Qi Yuan was at a loss. Why did he suddenly become childish again when he was speaking normally?

Noah smiled and stopped joking. He said, "Casio's real name is K. He said his father was Eugene Mike, but neither of the two names he mentioned had the surname Mike."

When it came to serious matters, Qi Yuan's expression turned serious, and he asked, "Did he lie to you?"

“He probably didn’t lie,” Noah said. “His familiarity with drugs and his meat-cutting technique show that he has indeed studied medical knowledge in great depth. Also, Eugene Mack’s deceased wife’s surname was Illyer, so Casio should have taken his mother’s surname.”

"Eugene Mac does have a son, but I heard that after his wife passed away, his son's health deteriorated and he stayed in his room to recuperate. He has never seen any outsiders, and no one knows what his son looks like. Even though I haven't seen him, I should still have doubts about Casio's health. But when I asked him if he would hurt you, he said that he had only killed his own people."

At this point, Qi Yuan's expression changed.

Noah's words here mean that he is telling Qi Yuan that Casio has killed people.

“Ah Yuan, judging from your expression, you really don’t know who Eugene Mike is,” Noah said with a smile, looking at Qi Yuan’s face.

Qi Yuan nodded. "Is he some kind of famous doctor?"
