Chapter 136 This doesn't sound like a love story at all.

"We can't be sure about their situation, but if Casio wants to atone, he can't just atone through Ao. Noah, have you investigated the organization 'Dawn'?"
As he spoke, Qi Yuan looked up at Noah.
Noah looked at him and pointed to his cheek.
Qi Yuan asked helplessly, "Why do you like being kissed so much?"
"What's wrong with kissing me? What's wrong with kissing me?" Noah immediately started making a fuss again. "I just wanted a kiss, I didn't ask for anything else, what's wrong with kissing me?!"
Seeing that the other person was about to go crazy again, Qi Yuan got up and kissed his lips.
It wasn't a fleeting touch like a dragonfly skimming the water, but a deep kiss as fish swam freely in the water.
Although Qi Yuan always seemed to be in control when interacting with Noah, in matters like this, Noah would unknowingly take over the initiative, leaving Qi Yuan with no choice but to follow his lead and agree with him.
After satisfying himself, Noah looked up at Qi Yuan, who was slightly out of breath, and called out, "Wife."
"Can't you be my wife?" Qi Yuan retorted.
Noah nodded. "Sure, the form of address is secondary; feelings are what truly matter. But if I weren't going on a long trip tomorrow, I'd really like to do it right now!"
"Are you going on a long trip?" Qi Yuan asked.
Noah replied, "Hmm, the hounds in the entire Gangdia region haven't responded. It's possible that all the hounds have betrayed me. I need to go and see what's going on myself. Of course, you'll come with me, baby."
"Why should I go?" Qi Yuan asked.
Noah chuckled. "I'm not comfortable leaving you in Juecheng. You're too beautiful, and there are too many flies around you. It's safer for me to keep you with me."
Qi Yuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "Putting aside the matter of going to Gangdia, what about Casio? Are you planning to keep him locked up indefinitely?"
"Keep him locked up for now; I don't want him to meet with Ao."
"What about the organization [Dawn]?"
"【Dawn】's headquarters are in Gangdia. If you come with me this time, we can check it out. Because, according to the information we have received so far, this organization is indeed a good organization that helps each other. The person who organized this gang is a man who is already fifty years old and also owns a restaurant."
Knowing which organization Ao belonged to, Noah immediately sent Kyle to investigate. The investigation revealed that the organization had indeed been doing good deeds.
The Ravens were initially a well-regarded organization, but who would have thought that their leader would be a deranged serial killer?
“If we’re going to investigate the true nature of Dawn, we should bring Casio along. I told Casio today that if he wants to continue atoning for his sins, he should join Dawn and help the poor and needy.”
Noah looked at Qi Yuan with a puzzled expression, "Honey, aren't you a little too concerned about Casio?"
“He works for my restaurant, and besides, he’s a bit pitiful,” Qi Yuan said.
Noah sighed, "Alright, let's help him this once, and not again. There are many poor people in the North Continent, and even the Davis family can't help them all."
Qi Yuan nodded.
Noah looked at Qi Yuan and asked, "Baby, you're taking the initiative now, does that mean you've fallen for me?"
Qi Yuan looked at him without saying a word.
Noah pressed on, "Tell me, your answer is very important to me!"
"You know perfectly well, yet you still need my answer?"
"Yes, we need it! We really need it!"
"like."
Without much explanation or embellishment, Qi Yuan uttered those two words directly.
Noah's eyes lit up with joy as he pressed, "Why do you like it? How did you come to like it?"
"How else could I have fallen for you? You shamelessly pester me every day, then set traps for me, taking advantage of me every time. You've already taken all the benefits from me. If I don't stay with you, I'll be at a huge loss!"
"What? This doesn't sound like sweet talk at all, it sounds like we're settling accounts! I'm not satisfied, say it again!" Noah said seriously.
Qi Yuan pinched his cheek. "Aren't you satisfied yet?"
"I'm not satisfied. Say it again!" Noah intended to assert his authority and establish his dignity.
"Not satisfied, huh? Then let's call it quits and break up!" With that, Qi Yuan turned his back to Noah.
Noah immediately hugged him tightly, "What breakup? You can't go back on your word! I only have a widow here, there's no option to break up!"
Hearing his domineering words, Qi Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "I've never been held in someone's arms like this before. You're the first and the last. Because once I leave this embrace, I probably won't find another one."
This time, Qi Yuan spoke words of genuine affection.
Noah didn't expect that Qi Yuan would actually say the sweet words he wanted to hear, just as he wished. He hugged him even tighter, "Me too. Without you, I probably wouldn't be able to find another person who would willingly hug me like this."
Qi Yuan turned to look at Noah; their eyes were only for each other.
The atmosphere in the room instantly transformed into that of springtime, filled with warmth. Flower buds, standing amidst the blossoms, slowly unfurled under the gentle caress of the spring breeze, attracting bees to gather nectar and butterflies to linger.
Before the ambiguity had completely subsided, Noah's rationality returned. He looked at the woman who was as beautiful as jade, his Adam's apple bobbing. "I have to go out tomorrow, so let's leave it at that for today."
Qi Yuan looked at her silently for a few seconds, then his voice was barely audible: "Pain... I'm not afraid..."
Noah's carefully maintained composure crumbled instantly, and he cursed under his breath, "Damn it, how can someone be so alluring?!"
Morning comes quickly.
As agreed yesterday, Kyle helped Noah pack his luggage early this morning.
The city of Gandia is two days' journey from the city of Jue. If it were spring or another season, it would only take half a day by carriage. However, since it is winter with heavy snow, the only reliable mode of transportation is the traditional horse-drawn carriage.
Davis came from a noble family and had a habit of riding in carriages, so his family owned more than twenty expensive and luxurious carriages.
Horse-drawn carriages have been improved a lot. What looks like wooden planks in the carriage is actually an inner layer of iron, thick iron sheet, which can withstand bullets very well and is extremely safe, but it is also very heavy.
When traveling in heavy snow, the wheels are also very important to prevent slipping. Kyle checked them carefully to ensure that Noah could reach Gangia safely.
As they were checking, Noah's voice came, "Is the carriage ready?"
Kyle turned around and said, "This one has tires with strong anti-slip properties, the interior is made of bulletproof steel plates, and most importantly, the seats are the best and softest. You won't have back pain even if you sit for two days."
Noah looked at the carriage recommended by Kyle and got on to take a look.
The carriage not only had the softest seating area, but the floor was also covered with thick, soft carpets.
“This one is good. Arrange another carriage for passengers,” Noah said.
Kyle asked, somewhat puzzled, "Who else wants to come along?"
"Casio."
"he?"
“Yes, my beautiful darling wants to find a place for Casio to atone for his sins, so I’m taking him to Gangdia as well. Oh, and tell that Ogan that I’m taking Casio to Gangdia. If he still wants to wander around Jue City, then let him continue wandering around Jue City,” Noah said.
Kyle nodded, indicating that he understood.
Suddenly, Noah remembered something exciting and boasted to Kyle, "Kyle, even though you had a girlfriend and got engaged before me, my baby and I have caught up with you."
Kyle stood there, stunned, looking at Noah's happy face. He was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "Congratulations."
