Chapter 219 My Darling Still Loves Me the Most
Looking at the motionless person, Noah's eyes were full of confusion. "Baby, what's wrong?"
"My legs are numb." Qi Yuan's expression was somewhat painful. "I can't feel anything."
Noah smiled, squatted down, and pinched Qi Yuan's leg. "It's my fault..."
"Ah, wait, numb..."
The numb leg felt like it had been electrocuted when gently pinched; the intense, tingling pain was indescribable.
Noah seemed to really enjoy seeing Qi Yuan's embarrassed state. He stretched out a finger and gently poked Qi Yuan's leg, causing Qi Yuan to almost slap Noah in the face from the pain.
"Don't touch me, help me up."
Noah had had enough fun and obediently helped Qi Yuan to his feet.
Qi Yuan seemed to have just recovered from a broken leg, and he walked with a limp. He slowly took a few steps and regained feeling.
Finally back to normal, Kyle walked to the door, opened it, and looked at Qi Yuan walking with a limp. He then looked at Noah with admiration and asked, "Patriarch, you've been so busy these past two days, how do you still have the energy?"
Assistant Kyle has also developed dark circles under his eyes from being so busy these past few days.
"Of course I have the energy! I slept for two hours with my head on my baby's lap!" Noah boasted.
Kyle said with envy, "Give me a long vacation during my wedding period. I also need love and want to rest well."
"After you've finished working for a few days, you can take a couple of days off."
"Take two days off? Are you even human?!"
Noah and Kyle arrived at the banquet venue while bickering.
The banquet was mainly about eating. The hall was filled with seats, and there were many delicious-looking foods and various desserts.
In the very center there is a large stage for performances.
Noah stood on the stage and gave a particularly inspiring speech to the employees. In short, his words were something like, "Everyone! You have all done a great job this year. Next year, we will continue to work hard, grow bigger and stronger, and create even greater glories!" This kind of polite and formulaic leadership speech.
The employees in the audience applauded as soon as the leader finished speaking, no matter what he said.
After giving his acceptance speech, Noah sat down at a dining table where only he and Qi Yuan could sit.
And this position is also the most conspicuous.
This was the first time Qi Yuan had ever enjoyed such imperial treatment, and of course, this kind of treatment made him, who did not like socializing, very uncomfortable.
But he couldn't show any stage fright.
Only then did he realize that he was actually following a very important person. The other person usually acted so coquettishly that he hadn't really felt this reality.
Noah had barely sat down when he took a small bite of his steak. Soon after, someone came up to offer a toast and say a few words of congratulations.
Most of the visitors were older, senior executives who appeared to have worked for Davis for quite some time. Because of their long tenure at Davis, they were bolder than some of the newcomers.
They came to offer a toast and drank it all in one gulp, while Noah only took a small sip.
No one dared to complain that Noah only drank such a small amount; as the head of the family, accepting their toasts was already a great honor.
With so many guests at the banquet, if Noah were to drink every toast offered to him, he would soon be drunk.
Today is a rare gathering of all the senior agents of the Davis family, and Noah doesn't want to spoil anyone's fun. He'll just accept whatever toasts come his way.
Noah looked at the table full of food. Although there were not many dishes he liked, he had only eaten a small piece of beef since he sat down and had been drinking.
He hadn't slept well, and then he drank like this; wouldn't his health collapse?
Qi Yuan couldn't eat either, and could only watch to see when the person who came to offer a toast would be sensible enough to let him have a bite.
However, Qi Yuan underestimated their desire to curry favor with Noah. Some people, eager to make themselves known to Noah, kept offering him toasts, giving him no chance to rest.
Unable to bear watching any longer, Qi Yuan cut the steak in front of him into a small piece, then stood up with the plate in hand, forked a small piece of beef, and offered it to Noah's mouth, saying, "Eat."
Qi Yuan exudes the aura of an ice queen. He doesn't like to talk much in front of many people. A simple word from him can sound like he's ordering Noah around.
Those who came to offer a toast felt somewhat dissatisfied on Noah's behalf when they saw Qi Yuan's attitude.
He thought to himself: Who are you, a male concubine, going to give me attitude? Can't you recognize your own place?
Noah saw the steak that Qi Yuan had cut, ate it with a smile, and said, "My darling still loves me the most."
Qi Yuan didn't say anything. He watched as Noah finished a piece of beef, then fed him another piece, continuing to feed him until the plate was empty.
The person offering the toast probably didn't expect that Qi Yuan's attitude would be so bad, yet Noah acted like a husband afraid of his wife, not daring to say a word in rebuttal.
They stood to one side, holding their wine glasses and looking at each other, until Noah finished eating the beef, at which point they began to offer another toast.
At the banquet, Noah was eventually forced to drink until he was completely drunk, and he left to avoid being forced to drink more.
Since Noah was so drunk, Kyle simply arranged a hotel room for him to rest.
Qi Yuan didn't say anything, and took care of the drunk Noah.
When he came out of the bathroom with a basin of hot water, the drunken Noah was no longer as intoxicated as before. He looked at Qi Yuan with flushed cheeks and a faint smile on his lips.
Qi Yuan asked, "Are you pretending to be drunk?"
"It's too difficult to get me drunk with that little bit of alcohol, especially since I, as the head of the family, am not allowed to be drunk."
With so many people in the Davis family eyeing him covetously, if Noah lets his guard down even for a moment, someone could take advantage of the situation.
Therefore, Noah would not allow himself to get drunk; at most, he would pretend to be drunk.
Qi Yuan looked at Noah's handsome face, soaked a towel in hot water, wrung it out, and wiped Noah's face. He asked, "After the radio is fixed, shall I come work at your company?"
“Honey, do you want to help me lighten my workload?” Noah asked back.
"Didn't Kyle say he wanted to take a honeymoon after Christmas? I can be your assistant for a while while he's away."
Qi Yuan thought a lot about what he could do to help Noah solve some of his work problems, so that he wouldn't have to work so hard, and so that he himself wouldn't look so useless.
After much thought, the best job I could do was to become Noah's assistant.
However, he had previously discussed with Noah about researching radio, so he still prioritized radio research.
However, Noah didn't want to accept his offer. "No, honey. Being my assistant involves a lot of dirty work, and I don't want you to do those things."
“I am not a rose in a greenhouse,” Qi Yuan said.
Noah nodded. "I know, but I want to raise you like a rose in a greenhouse. That's my biggest selfish wish for you. Besides, baby, I think it's good for you to develop your own career. Look, you've made a lot of money at the restaurant in just over a month, and you're doing very well in wireless communications as well."
