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

Ryan was getting on in years; a few strands of white hair had appeared in his blond hair, and the wrinkles around his eyebrows were quite noticeable. From the contours of his face, one could tell that he had been a handsome man in his youth. Having shed his youth and naivety, maturity and composure were evident on his face, making him look gentle and kind.

Upon first meeting Ryan, anyone could easily be deceived by his appearance. Noah, having fought him multiple times, knows how ruthless he is and—cannot speak properly.

His statements, such as "I have nothing to do, so I just wander around" and "Nobody dares to give me anything to do, so I just sit around," actually reveal three pieces of information.

First, the factory exploded, and you didn't assign me anything to do, so I was too idle and just wandered around.

Secondly, because of your orders, even if I go to the company, the employees will respect and fear me, but they will absolutely not reveal any information related to the company to me.

Thirdly, it used to be my office, and only I could use it. Even if I didn't have the authority, I would still sit there. This was also a way of telling Noah that he was still up to no good.

Ryan started his struggle with the family members for the position of family head from that office and that position, and even though several months have passed since Noah became the family head, he still feels that he has a chance.

This seemingly arrogant act was also a manifestation of his confidence. Ryan was so confident that he would kill Noah before Noah could kill him.

Noah understood the meaning behind Ryan's simple words. His thin lips curled up slightly, and he smiled calmly and confidently. "Uncle, you have studied so much and created a lot of profit for the family. You are so smart, yet you are willing to waste time walking around looking at the snow. What? Is this what old dogs are like?"

Ryan raised an eyebrow slightly, a ripple appearing in his eyes as he looked at Noah, but he quickly regained his composure. "Since you still think I have value, why don't you squeeze me dry?"

"Uncle, your value to me is negligible. Besides, the future belongs to the young. You're already old. Why don't you find an opportunity to retire in a quiet place with your second uncle?"

Noah's words were barbed, and Ryan knew there was no point in arguing with him, so he turned his gaze to Qi Yuan.

"I couldn't see you clearly when I first saw you, but this is the first time I've seen you up close like this. You are indeed handsome. I've lived most of my life and this is the first time I've seen such a handsome person from Dongzhou. If I were ten years younger, I might also be willing to try to get close to a man like you."

Ryan spoke calmly, as if he were saying something very ordinary.

Qi Yuan frowned slightly, somewhat displeased with his words.

At this moment, Noah reached out and put his arm around Qi Yuan's waist, pulling him into his embrace. "Uncle, even if you were ten years younger, you'd still be an old ox. You've reached an age where you're willing but unable to do more, so just behave yourself."

Ryan heard the sarcasm in Noah's voice and smiled. "As far as I know, Noah, you've never even touched a woman's hand. Do you even know how to do that? By the way, I recently heard that if you don't prepare properly beforehand, it can cause tearing and pain. Judging from his expression, it seems like you haven't even touched him yet. What? You don't know how?"

Ryan's words hit Noah's sore spot. Noah had never lost a debate with him before, but on this matter, he couldn't find a point to refute.

Ryan noticed Noah's brief embarrassment and his smile became even more smug. "If you don't know, you can ask your uncle. Your uncle will teach you how to do it."

"No need for that, Uncle. I'm better at this than you are." Noah snapped out of his daze and regained his confidence.

Ryan didn't believe it: "Really?"

"Mr. Ryan, please come here for a moment."

A nun called out from the other side of the corridor.

Ryan turned around and said, "I have to go now, Noah. Remember to come find your uncle if you don't understand anything."

With that, Ryan smiled and walked away.

He was in a good mood after finally winning the battle.

Once Noah had walked away, he deflated like a punctured balloon, muttering under his breath, "What's so great about him? He's a womanizer, keeping mistresses everywhere. Wow, so much experience! Pshaw! What a philanderer, surrounded by a bunch of people scheming against him every day. He thinks he's so great. Maybe one of these women will kill him someday. That would be hilarious."

Looking at Noah like this, Qi Yuan found him strangely adorable for some reason.

He stood firm like a mountain in front of Ryan, displaying the demeanor of a big shot, but little did people know that he also liked to gossip behind people's backs.

Noah looked up and saw Qi Yuan's lips slightly upturned, and felt wronged. "Baby, I was just talked about by that guy, and you feel sorry for me, but you're laughing at me?"

“I don’t think you lost,” Qi Yuan said.

Noah looked distressed and said, "I lost, didn't I? I lost so badly."

Qi Yuan didn't know how to comfort Noah. After all, he didn't understand, and he didn't understand how Ryan could tell that they hadn't done it. Moreover, how could he tell?

Suddenly, Noah pushed him to the side of the wall.

Qi Yuan was puzzled, and Noah leaned closer and whispered, "Baby, Uncle is watching us from the window in the second-floor corridor."

Qi Yuan glanced suspiciously at the place Noah had mentioned, and sure enough, he saw Ryan quietly watching them from the second-floor corridor window.

This gaze was somewhat terrifying, reminding Qi Yuan of a horrific scene where a demon stands in a window watching the lambs entering its territory.

Perhaps the real Ryan was standing silently at the second-floor corridor window across the street, watching them with eyes full of resentment and malice.

"Baby, I just lost to Uncle, but now I'm going to get my revenge. If you cooperate with me, I'll grant you one wish unconditionally when we get back."

Just as Qi Yuan was about to ask what he wanted to do, a face approached him, and he felt a warm touch on the lips. Qi Yuan felt as if he had been electrocuted and froze on the spot.

Qi Yuan felt as if he had drunk a pot of mellow and fragrant wine, gentle yet domineering. Then, a sense of tension, like the oxygen shortage caused by an alcohol allergy, took over all his nerves. His strength was being drained away, and his right foot, which was not yet fully healed, was in slight pain. He was about to lose his balance, but he was afraid of falling. His long, slender fingers, as white as scallions, gripped the soft, light gray coat in front of him. His fingers were tightly pressed together, and the veins on the back of his fair hands bulged as he ripped the coat into wrinkles.

The danger brought on by the alcohol allergy finally subsided, and Qi Yuan finally felt that his breathing could return to normal. However, the strength that had been drained from his body had not yet fully recovered. He collapsed into his light gray coat, panting heavily, his heart pounding. It seemed that the sudden acceleration of blood flow caused his fair cheeks to flush red, like the most beautiful sunset at dusk.

A pair of hands silently supported his waist, followed by a soft, indulgent laugh from above.
