Chapter 220 I thought we were already an old married couple
As he spoke, Noah smiled and looked at Qi Yuan.
"You see, even without my help, you can do a lot of things very well. If anything happens to the Davis family in the future and I need to escape, I can use your connections to get out."
Qi Yuan could tell how unrealistic his words were.
"The Davis family is all-powerful in the North State. If you really can't protect them, we're all finished. So, you just don't want me to work for your company, and you're using this as an excuse to fool me!"
Noah sighed deeply, "Alas, it's a problem when a baby is too clever; they're hard to fool."
Qi Yuan looked at him and said, "Although I know you're fooling me, if you really don't want me to help out in your company, just say so, and I'll agree not to go."
Noah blinked in surprise. "Really?"
"Of course it is. Do you think I'm an unreasonable person?"
"No, it's just that I'm afraid you won't want to tell the truth, honey."
“I don’t want you to work too hard, but I also don’t want to make you work harder because of my little things. Just tell me, if you don’t want to, then you don’t want to, and I won’t force you.”
Noah smiled, stood up, and kissed Qi Yuan on the cheek. "Baby, you're so sweet."
"So tell me, what's your reason for not wanting me to work for the Davis family company?" Qi Yuan didn't completely let Noah off the hook.
Noah knew he couldn't hide anything any longer, so he said, "I killed thirteen people today, so it's a one-sided victory."
Qi Yuan's expression changed, becoming more serious.
Noah said, "These kinds of banquets at the end of the year attract a lot of people with ulterior motives, and many of the attendees are the talents and leaders who support the Davis family. It doesn't matter if one or two of them die, but if too many die, it will cause a lot of trouble. Security is very tight in the vicinity to protect their safety, but even so, some guys still came."
Thinking about what had happened in the past few days, Noah lay exhausted on the bed. "Just like the year-end sales push, those guys were all rushing in like madmen."
"Were they sent by your uncle?" Qi Yuan asked.
Noah shook his head. "No, it's an organization called [Darkfire]. They hate the four great families equally. They believe that the current state of the Northern Continent is the result of the four great families' actions. Because of this, they've always believed that the Northern Continent will become better once the four great families are gone."
"【Darkfire】has always been suppressed by the four major families. They have very few members, and even if they do, they can only live in the shadows. They don't usually cause trouble, but when there are major festivals and a lot of family members gather, they will come out and cause trouble. In just these three days, I have killed more than thirty members of 【Darkfire】."
Although the four major families have always been arrogant and domineering in the Northern Continent, many small organizations secretly hate them. Some of these organizations even actively seek out [Darkfire] to carry out revenge plans against the four major families.
Qi Yuan was hearing about the organization "Darkfire" for the first time, but the existence of such an organization didn't seem surprising.
“Honey, I know you’re strong and fearless. But I don’t want you to step into my company. The dangers and bloodshed here are far more terrifying than you can imagine. I don’t want to see you numb to blood and corpses. You’re fine the way you are now. Do whatever you want. By the way, are you thinking of finding some friends for Patty?”
In his last sentence, Noah was clearly trying to change the subject.
Qi Yuan knew that Noah would never want him to be involved in more bloodshed and cruelty, so he didn't bring up the matter of helping out at the company again and changed the subject.
"Pettit is too well-behaved. At such a young age, she gives me the feeling that she only does things right and never wrong, and she doesn't consider whether she is happy or not when she does them."
Noah also felt guilty when Petty was mentioned.
“Since I became the head of the family, I haven’t had time to take care of that little girl. Sometimes I worry that if I’m busy with work and don’t keep an eye on her, she might go astray. She’s a child I’ve raised since she was a steamed bun. If she goes astray, I’ll be heartbroken.”
Upon hearing his words, Qi Yuan lay down as well, turning his head to look at him.
"Are you worried that Patty will go astray?"
“What father isn’t afraid of his child going astray? Although I’m her uncle, she’s my daughter to me.”
As he said this, Noah's eyes were filled with the loving kindness of a father.
Qi Yuan hugged Noah and said, "If you don't have time to take care of it, I will. I will keep a close eye on Petty to prevent her from going astray."
Faced with Qi Yuan's embrace, Noah opened his arms and hugged him. "Baby, don't we look like an old married couple discussing the education of our child?"
"Huh? I thought we were an old married couple."
Hearing this, Noah was so happy that he wanted to hug the person and take a big bite, but he held back because he remembered that he had drunk quite a lot of wine.
"Oh, if only I hadn't been drinking. I slept for two hours before the banquet started today, and now I'm full of energy. It's such a pity I can't do anything for you."
"You..." Qi Yuan was speechless.
Noah's lips curled up slightly as he looked at Qi Yuan, who was unable to resist teasing him, and asked, "I won't do anything tonight. I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had time to chat properly. Tonight, we'll just chat."
"What to talk about?"
"Let's talk about work, and after that, let's talk about how much you've missed me lately, to what extent, and whether you've suddenly fallen in love with me?"
Seeing that Noah still had the mind to try to win favor, Qi Yuan knew that this guy wasn't completely exhausted yet. If he were really exhausted, he would probably just want to sleep right now.
"Nick's organization, how come it's really going to be given to me?"
Hearing this, Noah immediately became smug. "You're my darling, how could I let every single boast my darling makes be a lie? It has to be true, it has to be true!"
"Aren't you afraid of spoiling me rotten by spoiling me like this without any limits?"
Qi Yuan was pampered, but he often felt that Noah was spoiling him too much, so much so that he couldn't stand it anymore.
Noah said, "What are you afraid of? It's not like I can't afford to raise you. Besides, I'm afraid I'll spoil you. I don't even want to think about how easy it would be to coax a spoiled person like you."
“If you really go astray, you won’t want to be like this later.” Qi Yuan remained rational and was not fooled by Noah’s words.
Noah smiled and said, "I spoil you so much because I know you won't go astray. My chosen treasure is definitely the best."
In the end, the praise turned into self-praise. Qi Yuan ignored his narcissism and said, "Take a break. It's rare to have time to rest, so make the most of it." In just a few days, it was obvious that Noah had lost some weight.
Noah was about to speak when a loud explosion suddenly came from afar.
He immediately got up, walked to the window, looked at the flames soaring into the sky not far away, and said helplessly, "Honey, it seems there's no time to rest. I'm going to get busy. Go to bed early tonight, don't wait for me."
