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

Noah couldn't help but chuckle.

“Mr. Dunlop, they were just two male lovers. I’ve already spent two days on them, and even arranged for hounds and bodyguards to find their enemies. Now that the two murderers who wanted to kill them are dead, can’t this matter be put to rest?”

Noah tilted his head slightly, smiling calmly and confidently. "Mr. Dunlop, I do like those two very much now, but that doesn't mean I have to do more for them. Enough is enough. They'll be replaced sooner or later anyway, so why waste so much energy?"

When Dunlop heard Noah's words, he was inexplicably angry. He didn't know what he was angry about; perhaps he was angry that he had worked so hard to capture Noah and come to negotiate so happily, only to be met with Noah's casual two-word response—"No talk."

This frustration made him very angry.

"Noah, I never expected you to be so heartless at such a young age! If you treated your partner like this, they would probably want to leave you."

“That’s for later. For now, it’s enough that they’re still with me.” Noah then asked, “Mr. Dunlop, what do you think those three guys are worth?”

Dunlop was stumped by the question.

Before he arrived, he thought that Noah had been investigating the murderer these past two days and had booked an entire floor of wards for Xiu. In his eyes, Xiu and Qi Yuan must be incredibly valuable to Noah.

But who knew that Noah was such a scumbag, all he did was put on a show, he didn't really love his two male lovers that much.

“Not worth a penny!” Dunlop said through gritted teeth.

Noah smiled slightly. "That's it. Mr. Dunlop, next time you want to talk to me, please bring better bargaining chips. I have other things to attend to, so I won't entertain you any longer."

Once the order to leave was given, Dunlop knew he couldn't stay any longer, so he didn't say anything more and got up to leave.

After Dunlop walked away, Kyle asked, "Master, may I tell Mr. Qiyuan what you just said?"

"You think you have too much time on your hands?" Noah asked irritably, his emotions running high.

Kyle chuckled. "Patriarch, you're a perfect actor when it comes to playing a scumbag. Who taught you those lines? I don't remember teaching you any of them."

"What do you care who I learned it from? Everything I say to others is bullshit. If you dare tell A-Yuan, I'll make your neck swing on a rope!"

Noah is just playing the role of a romantic outside, never lingering too long on any one woman. This makes outsiders think that his mistress is less valuable than clothes to him, and that it's not worth it to covet her. This way, Qi Yuan can be safer.

Of course, he wouldn't dare say these things if Qi Yuan were around outside.

Even if it was for Qi Yuan's safety, he was really afraid that if he was acting in front of Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan would take it seriously, and then his wife would be gone.

Kyle didn't tease Noah and asked, "Master, it would have been better if you had changed your terms and asked Mr. Dunlop about those three people."

“Uncle never leaves a trace when he does things,” Noah said. “When I was fighting with Uncle for the position of family head, I already saw his methods. Only three members of the Black Wolf have escaped from the city. Those three may not know about the deal between their leader and Uncle. They only know that their members have offended the Davis family and are afraid that it will implicate them. That’s why they were so stupid as to choose to leave the city in such a snowy weather.”

“You can’t get any information or intelligence from such a person even if you spend three thousand, and it’s a waste of money. In addition, you have to deal with the corpse. With Dunlop, we can save a lot of trouble.”

Noah knew that, given Dunlop's personality, he might kill or let go the three people who had brought him no benefit.

This was no longer important to Noah; he had already pinned the score on Ryan.

The culprit has been identified; everyone else is of no value to him.

Dunlop's trades are foolish!

****

At 11 a.m., Xiu returned to the Davis family home under Noah's arrangement.

The doctors and nurses took great care of his wound to prevent further injury. Although the repaired wound looked terrible, it was actually fine as long as he didn't move around too much.

After lying down on the bed, Shi Bai kept busy around his bedside like a spinning top.

Just as Xiu was about to tell him to take a break, there was a knock on the door.

Qi Yuan stood outside the door, holding Petty's hand.

Xiu looked at Qi Yuan and smiled, "A Yuan, are you alright? I heard you received a poisoned cake."

"I'm fine, are you okay?"

“It’s nothing, just a few days of rest after some minor injuries. We almost lost our lives because of the family head, so we’ll ask him for something as compensation once we’re healed.” Xiu didn’t hold back at all when speaking to Noah.

Qi Yuan said, "He said he would give you a farm."

"Farm? I hate farms. Farming is the thing I hate most in my life!"

The Robinson family made their fortune through farming. Xiu grew up watching workers toiling in the fields, and over time, he developed a particular aversion to farms for some reason.

“Just accept the gifts from others. If you don’t like them, Noah might not give them to you,” Qi Yuan said.

Petty lay by the bed, staring at the IV tubing, her blue eyes darting around curiously. Suddenly, she reached out and pinched the tubing, but Qi Yuan quickly stopped her.

"Patty, don't touch that."

Why can't I touch it?

"These medicines need to be given to Xiu so that he can recover his health."

"He dislikes what his uncle gives him, saying it won't make him healthy!"

Petty's words startled Xiu. "Princess, I didn't mean any harm. I was just joking. Don't touch my tubes!"

"You really don't mind?"

"Really." Xiu nodded emphatically. "I don't mind."

"Alright then, you're not allowed to say anything bad about your uncle anymore." Petty turned to find Shi Bai.

Little Petty was very interested in the newcomer, Shi Bai, and said, "Your hair is so long, can I help you comb it?"

"This..." Shi Bai was somewhat at a loss.

Xiu Dao said, "Play with her for a while. She is the patriarch's most beloved niece."

"Ok."

Shi Bai squatted down and played with Petty.

Petty realized she didn't have a comb, so she turned around and went home with Catherine to get her equipment.

Seeing her leave, Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. "This little princess is just like the head of the family; she has an eccentric personality and is not easy to mess with."

“I think Petty is quite well-behaved,” Qi Yuan said.

Xiudao said, "That's because she likes you. She's obedient in front of you, but in front of me, she's a complete devil. But, Ayuan, don't you want to know who wants to kill us?"

"There are very few people who would want to kill us, and none of them are people we can touch. Since we have no right to touch them, we shouldn't think too much about it. We should just stay quiet and wait for an opportunity to take revenge."

Xiu looked at Qi Yuan with slight surprise, "Ah Yuan, so this is the kind of person you are!"
