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

A busy day comes to an end.

Noah returned home.

As soon as he arrived at his doorstep, he heard a commotion inside.

Although Petty's voice was the loudest among all the noises, Petty, who was noisy before, rarely stayed this loud for long.

Qi Yuan wasn't one to argue with Petty. He was a man of few words, and Petty was also perceptive. When the other person wasn't arguing, she rarely started one either. But when someone was cooperating, she could argue to death.

Could it be that A-Yuan is in a good mood today and started arguing with Petty?

Thinking about this, Noah was filled with anticipation.

If Qi Yuan's personality changes even slightly, his path to winning back his wife will be much smoother.

Full of hope, she pushed open the door and looked in the direction of the noise, only to find Shi Bai arguing with Petty.

Shi Bai's hair was much shorter than when I saw her in the morning, making her look much fresher and cuter. Her coral eyes were like stars in the sky, and she was playing with Petty with her eyes sparkling.

Shi Bai also changed into clothes that fit well, without the bulky feeling of wearing the wrong clothes, and looked much cuter and more lively than she did in the morning.

Shi Bai has a youthful appearance, and when he plays with Petty, who is more than ten years younger than him, the two look like siblings.

Petty also liked this young-looking older brother, and the two had fun playing everything together.

Noah looked around but couldn't find Qi Yuan. However, he could smell the aroma of food in the air and knew that Qi Yuan must be busy in the kitchen.

He went into the kitchen, and sure enough, the person was there.

"Honey, what delicious food did you make tonight?" Noah asked.

"Steamed fish, scrambled eggs with shrimp, stir-fried beef with scallions, and crab with scallion oil. It'll be ready soon, you can eat it after you wash your hands."

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he looked up from the pot at Noah.

Noah stood by the door, seemingly lost in thought, and simply nodded when he heard Qi Yuan's words.

Qi Yuan, not understanding why he was suddenly acting so serious, asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking about something."

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm not telling you," Noah said smugly.

Qi Yuan didn't press the matter further; he couldn't be bothered to be so childish with Noah.

When dinner was ready, Shi Bai was so happy to eat Dongzhou cuisine for the first time that he almost cried. He also wanted to share the delicious food with Xiu, but Xiu had just had surgery and could not eat anything.

Only they can eat it.

While eating, Shi Bai asked Qi Yuan for the recipe, saying that he would cook it for him again once the repairs were completed.

After dinner, Noah escorted Shi Bai back to the side building to see Xiu.

The two of them started acting all lovey-dovey as soon as they met. Noah found their lovey-dovey behavior really annoying, but thinking about what they were going to talk about next, he pulled up a chair and sat down.

"Does Shi Bai already know about our affair?" Noah asked.

Xiu nodded, "I told him as soon as we met. If I had told him later, my little Bai would have been trembling with fear."

“…I didn’t,” Shi Bai retorted softly.

Xiu smiled slightly. "Still saying no? Weren't you afraid the patriarch would kill me?"

Shi Bai pursed his lips, unable to think of a rebuttal.

Noah found their intimacy irritating and asked seriously, "Did you tell him that he wanted to act as my male lover with you?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention this, Xiaobai. I have an agreement with the head of the family. He will do something for me, and you and I will act as his male concubines to protect Ayuan."

"Together?" Shi Bai frowned slightly, finding the plan hard to accept.

Xiu held his hand, his expression serious. "Xiao Bai, it's my fault for not being able to drag you down with me and suffer."

"It's alright. As long as I can be with you, young master, I'm not afraid of any hardship."

"Then let's play the male concubines of the patriarch together and protect A-Yuan, okay?" Xiu asked.

Shi Bai didn't ask anything more and obediently nodded, "Okay."

Noah's face darkened. "Is he that easy to fool?"

Xiu smiled smugly, "Xiaobai and I grew up together since we were little. You can't envy this kind of relationship."

Noah was somewhat envious of them.

Shi Bai would obediently listen to whatever Xiu said.

In contrast, Qi Yuan is too opinionated. If he doesn't want to open the door, Noah will never be able to get his hands on him.

"Even though we grew up together, don't you have any of your own ideas and just listen to him in everything?" Noah asked Shi Bai this question.

Shi Bai said, "Young Master has been very good to me and has suffered and been injured for me. So, I am willing to do whatever Young Master asks me to do."

"Has he suffered hardships and been hurt? If I use this approach on A Yuan, will he become as obedient as you?" Noah pondered.

Xiu Dao said, "Patriarch, you can continue like this. A Yuan is actually less wary of you now. I can sense that he likes you a little."

"Really?" Noah asked, somewhat surprised.

Xiu nodded. "I secretly tried to get information out of A Yuan, and I can tell that he already has a little bit of affection for you. If you put in a little more effort, A Yuan will definitely fall head over heels in love with you too."

No need to explain Qi Yuan's attitude; Noah had also sensed a slight change. Qi Yuan was indeed much more lenient towards him than before.

So this is what it means to like someone a little. Noah stood up happily. "You two can continue your lovey-dovey stuff. I'm leaving. Oh, and don't be all lovey-dovey in front of me anymore. It's an eyesore."

He hadn't yet succeeded in winning over his wife, and seeing other couples being all lovey-dovey filled him with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

She was pleased to learn from Xiu that Qi Yuan had some feelings for her. Back in the main building, Qi Yuan read fairy tales to Petty in her room.

Petty drifted off to sleep to Qi Yuan's pleasant voice.

Seeing that she was asleep, Qi Yuan pulled the blanket up a bit before getting up and leaving.

Turning around, I saw Noah standing outside the door.

Noah looked at him, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

Qi Yuan didn't say anything. He walked outside, closed the door, and then the two of them talked quietly.

"Ah Yuan, you're taking such good care of Petty now?" Noah asked in a low voice.

Qi Yuan said, "You've raised her well. The little girl is a bit mischievous, but she's still quite well-behaved. What about Shi Bai?"

"They went to fix that place. They're a couple, they can't stand being apart for even a short while. By the way, Yuan, I'm going to tell you something!"

When Noah uttered the words "complain," Qi Yuan was momentarily speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry. "Complain about what?"

"When I took Shi Bai to see Xiu this morning, the two of them kissed right in front of me!"

Qi Yuan paused, somewhat surprised.

But Qi Yuan couldn't figure out what was making him surprised.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Is it strange that they were kissing?"

"It's not surprising, but I'm jealous."

Qi Yuan already knew what Noah was going to say next, so he remained silent and quickly walked towards his room.

Noah followed closely behind, grabbing Qi Yuan's hand and pressing him against the wall, saying seriously, "I want a kiss too!"
