Chapter 137: I didn't sleep at all...
Upon hearing this, Noah showed no modesty whatsoever and began to teach earnestly, "Congratulations! As long as you work hard and treat people sincerely, it's only a matter of time before they like you."
Kyle knew Noah's penchant for showing off; once he started, he wouldn't stop. So he quickly changed the subject: "Patriarch, why did you suddenly decide to go to Gangdia?"
Kyle received the order two hours earlier and then immediately began preparing things for Noah to use on the road.
Noah sighed softly, "Gandhia is important to us, we can't not go."
Gangdia is a famous mining city in the North Continent. The surrounding mountains are rich in coal and iron ore, and the four major families all have their own mines there.
If something goes wrong at the mines there, the family's income will definitely be affected. In addition, the hounds of Gangdia have all disappeared without a trace. Furthermore, the headquarters of [Dawn] is in Gangdia, and the person Xiu recommended is also in Gangdia.
With so many people in Gangdia, why not find an opportunity to go and check it out, and see what's really going on there?
However, since the patriarch's sudden departure from the city might lead to encounters with assassins from other families, even for Kyle, Noah notified him two hours before departure.
Knowing that Noah was leaving the city, the people were busy preparing for the trip for two hours. They were so busy that they didn't have time to communicate with the outside world, which is why Noah only informed people before he set off.
“Kyle, I’ll be gone for at least seven or eight days. No matter what happens in Juecheng, you keep things stable for me,” Noah said.
Kyle nodded. "I understand."
"Master, are you heading out?"
Xiu walked over and interrupted Noah and Kyle's conversation.
Noah looked at him and said, "Well, you guys should spend more time at home playing with Petty. Don't go out too much unless you have to. Those guys in Juecheng might cause you trouble again while I'm gone."
Xiu nodded, "Received!"
Noah then began giving instructions to Kyle again, and after giving instructions, he also gave a few more words of advice to the butler and the bodyguards.
After giving the instructions and preparing the carriage for departure, Noah asked the steward to call Qi Yuan.
This trip is a long journey, and it's freezing cold outside, so Noah needs to be dressed warmly.
Qi Yuan came down from the second floor, wearing a black, close-fitting kaolin sweater that tightly wrapped around his fair neck.
When Qi Yuan wasn't smiling, his eyes were cold, and his brows exuded a sharp, heroic air, making him appear like an unapproachable, towering flower.
He walked over to Noah, and the servants immediately helped him put on the clothes they were carrying.
Noah looked at Qi Yuan, who was almost a head shorter than him, and smiled slightly. He secretly slipped his long fingers into Qi Yuan's black kaolin sweater and gently pulled the sweater out, revealing a small hickey on Qi Yuan's fair neck.
Qi Yuan was startled by his movement, shrinking back and looking at the person in front of him warily. "What do you want to do?!"
"Nothing, honey. I just wanted to see if last night was just a dream," Noah laughed.
Qi Yuan's cheeks instantly flushed red. "What dream? I wasn't asleep at all..."
He muttered to himself, speaking in a voice only he and Noah could hear.
Noah's smile deepened as he put his arm around Qi Yuan's waist. "We'll be on our way soon, so there'll be plenty of time for you to rest."
Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows, looked at him with slight anger, and remained silent.
Noah knew that Qi Yuan was somewhat angry about his lack of restraint. But how could he be blamed? He had finally encountered the treasure he had been dreaming of; who could resist?
"Okay, don't be angry, let's go."
As he spoke, Noah reached out and picked Qi Yuan up in his arms.
Qi Yuan was startled. His legs left the ground, and the feeling of helplessness made him instinctively hug Noah's shoulders. "You...you can't let me walk by myself?"
"Honey, it's alright, it's just a few steps, we'll be at the carriage soon."
It's just a few steps that you have to walk yourself.
Qi Yuan felt that Noah had completely humiliated him today. He glanced at the other servants' gossiping eyes, but he didn't have the courage to look anymore and buried his head in Noah's shoulder.
The carriage bench is extendable; once pulled out, it transforms into a small bed, already padded with bedding and four soft pillows.
Sitting on a soft mattress, even in freezing weather, you probably won't feel too cold.
Qi Yuan sat in the car, and Noah had to give a few more instructions to everyone before getting into the car.
At this moment, Qi Yuan noticed Casio, who was being led out by Asa, heading towards the carriage behind them.
Preparations for departure were complete, and Noah nodded to Andrei, who was riding on horseback.
Andrei understood, so he rode his horse to the front of the carriage and said something to the coachman.
The coachman immediately drove the carriage away.
They left the city through the least populated gate of Juecheng. Even though there were few people, some still witnessed their journey, and soon the news of Noah's departure spread throughout the entire city.
Ao, who received the news a little earlier than most people, immediately found Grace and Yul and told them Noah's destination after leaving the city.
Without delay, the two immediately led their family's horse and chased after them.
Not long after leaving the city, it started snowing again.
After leaving Juecheng by carriage, Qi Yuan fell into a deep sleep in Noah's arms.
Noah held the person in his arms, looking at his sleeping face with joy in his eyes, "My beautiful little rose, you look so pretty when you're sleeping."
Thinking about the madness of last night, Noah felt an urge to kiss the other person again, but he had already exhausted her enough last night and she deserved a good rest.
At Davis's house.
After seeing Noah and Qi Yuan off, Xiu returned to his room and immediately checked the wound on his abdomen.
After recuperating for a while, his wounds have healed, and running and jumping are no problem. "Sigh, I finally recovered. I was looking forward to A Yuan making me Dongzhou cuisine, but the head of the family took him away, and I have to wait for several more days."
“Young Master, I can make it for you. I’ve learned a lot from Brother Qi lately,” Shi Bai said, standing up after hearing Xiu’s words.
Xiu rubbed his little head: "Ah Yuan is better at making them, he's more authentic. By the way, you stay home and play with Petty today, I'm going out."
"Young Master, didn't the Patriarch say that some people might become unruly while he's not in Juecheng? You might encounter danger if you go out." Shi Bai tugged at Xiu's sleeve with some concern.
Xiu smiled and said, "I'll take two bodyguards with me, there won't be any danger. In fact, I'll bring not only bodyguards, but also police officers."
Shi Bai suddenly came to his senses and realized what Xiu was going to do. He asked, "Young Master, I'll go with you! If there's any danger, I can help you!"
“I’ll handle this myself. It’s time for me to settle my score with him. You stay home and play with Petty. The head of the family told us to play with the children before he left. What will happen to the children if we both leave?”
