Chapter 112 Meeting
Casio didn't stand on ceremony: "Thank you, boss."
"Let's do something."
Without further ado, the three of them started making dumplings together.
It didn't take long for a pot of dumplings to be cooked. Qi Yuan asked Sasha to take them out and distribute them to the hunting dogs waiting outside.
The dumplings were piping hot and delicious right out of the pot. This time, they were made with bone broth, which was both tasty and warming. After eating a bowl of dumplings, my body, which had been chilled by the wind and snow, felt much warmer.
The hunting dogs were very well-behaved after finishing their meal, returning the bowls and chopsticks themselves.
Qi Yuan also told everyone in the kitchen to eat something to fill their stomachs before continuing their work.
The restaurant staff arrived early today, seemingly because Qi Yuan had suddenly come to work at the restaurant yesterday, and they wanted to make a good impression on him, so they arrived two hours earlier than usual.
Arriving early, Sasha had prepared a lot of ingredients and dumplings before opening the shop, keeping her so busy that she didn't have a chance to ask Qi Yuan again—why, with power, money, and people pampering him, didn't he stay home and enjoy his life?
Of course, if Qi Yuan were to answer, he would probably say: You can take back what others give you anytime, but only what is yours is truly yours.
Even if Qi Yuan now knows that Noah is a good person and is very tolerant of him, people's hearts are easily changed, and no one knows what will happen in the future.
Another point is that you shouldn't always expect the person who loves you to give everything. You should also do something for the person you love. Only love that goes hand in hand can last and bring happiness.
Qi Yuan knew that no matter how good the restaurant business was, the money he earned wouldn't be a fraction of what the Davis family earned in a day, but he wouldn't take it for granted and become a freeloader, doing nothing and becoming a useless person.
At nine o'clock, Noah arrived at the restaurant on time, kissed Qi Yuan for a while to recharge, and then faced another day full of troubles.
The staff arrived early today, and a lot of food was prepared.
Qi Yuan saw two employees leaving with some side dishes and ingredients, pushing a tasting booth. After thinking for a moment, he followed them to the church.
The church was crowded in the early morning. Walking through the main entrance, you could see many elegantly dressed ladies on the road.
Qi had been to the church once before, but he hadn't had a proper visit. Now that he had some time and no one else would bother him, he decided to take a good look at the church.
The church's decoration and structure are very similar to the Western-style churches that Qi Yuan had seen before, with almost no changes; they are practically identical.
However, the church that the four major families had built together with other merchants was large, magnificent, and extremely ornate.
Qi Yuan is an atheist and does not believe in any god, regardless of the country. However, he designs houses that are built to worship gods respected by others in a way that is sacred and peaceful.
Being in such a building can bring a sense of peace and tranquility.
Qi Yuan walked to the church where believers gathered. The church was filled with benches, and the huge, beautiful stained glass windows reflected a variety of beautiful colors in the morning light.
Here, some people are praying with their hands clasped toward the statue at the front, while others are ladies sitting in twos and threes, chatting quietly.
Qi Yuan was a little tired from his visit, so he found a bench to sit down.
As soon as I sat down, I heard two elegantly dressed ladies in front of me whispering and talking about each other in a disdainful tone.
“How rude of him! What does he think this place is? Sleeping here! God, please forgive this barbarian.”
She had barely finished speaking when a yawn sounded from ahead.
That was a man's yawn, drawn out and somewhat hoarse.
After yawning, the blond man stretched and put one foot on the bench.
His actions drew the attention of two ladies who were muttering about God's forgiveness. The blond man scoffed, "It was I who was disrespectful to the God you speak of. I should be the one asking for forgiveness. Are you two ladies just being nosy because of your age?"
His words further displeased the two ladies, who felt it was a sin to sit with him, and they said nothing more, getting up and leaving.
He watched the two noblewomen leave, his gaze meeting Qi Yuan's directly.
The man's gaze could be described as domineering and rude, meeting Qi Yuan's eyes directly. He showed no embarrassment at being caught looking at someone, but instead remained arrogant and rude.
Qi Yuan did not look away, but stared directly into the other person's eyes.
The other person was the Oogang man whom Qi Yuan had met twice before who had dined at the restaurant. His eyes were still golden, but his hair was no longer red; it was now golden.
Actually, if you look closely, the hair parting looks a bit strange.
That blonde hair must be fake.
In the North Continent, the red hair of the Okugan people was more noticeable than Qi Yuan's black hair, and the Okugan people who grew up in the North Continent also knew how to hide their identities.
Qi Yuan was somewhat surprised.
The man arrested by the Davis family's hounds and the police actually appeared openly in the church, unwilling to do anything more than conceal his identity by wearing a wig.
"You're Noah Davis's lover, aren't you?"
After a long eye contact, Ao spoke first.
After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Asha, who was standing behind Qi Yuan.
“That guy looks well-trained, and you are very beautiful. This is the first time I have ever seen such a beautiful person from Dongzhou. But because you are so beautiful, it reminds me of the male concubine that many people in Juecheng are talking about.”
"Are there really so many people talking about me?"
Qi Yuan didn't explicitly admit his identity, but everyone could tell from his words that he acknowledged it.
“Hmm,” Ao said, “There are a lot of people. I’ve been to your restaurant twice, hoping to see you and see just how good-looking you are, but I didn’t see you either time. I didn’t expect to run into you here.”
Asa looked serious and tense upon hearing the other person's words.
His hand slowly moved toward his sidearm.
Qi Yuan remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged. "Why are you looking for me?"
“I’m looking for someone, a very handsome man. So as soon as I arrived in Juecheng, I asked who the most handsome man in Juecheng was, and they all said it was you.”
"Is the person you're looking for also from Dongzhou?"
“He’s from the North Continent. His hair is brown, but black is the easiest color to dye. I think he might change his hair color like me, so I didn’t mention any of his features. I just said I was looking for the most handsome man.”
"That's a pity, I'm not the person you're looking for."
Ao smiled. "I can't hear a hint of regret in your words. How interesting. Although you are very beautiful, I don't think you would want to be someone's male concubine. Although Noah Davis has a lot of power and can play with someone like you, if you don't want to be a male concubine, why don't you come with me? I'm looking for some capable companions. Once I have enough people, I'll take down the four major families and become the new king of the North Continent."
