I bet they were probably just a block away from us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome back. What took you so long today?\" Xiaoyun asked curiously as Nami and Lily entered the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just meeting with her teacher, which took an hour... We were actually right behind you if you two just didn't walk so fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Nami staring at him in contempt, Xiaoyun awkwardly scratched his head as he didn't notice them at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really are right... What are the chances?\"Shuli murmured, unable to believe how Yuqi perfectly predicted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuqi, you saw them earlier, didn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuli was much more cynical, doubting Yuqi's guess was just based on luck.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope, I just guessed it——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, don't try to distract yourself from the fact that you got an extra meal from Xiaoyun today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami quickly ran onto the sofa and started punching Yuqi's arm as if she were letting out her anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Extra meal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Wuli and Shuli looked toward Yuqi and Xiaoyun with suspicion, except for Lily, who was a little confused by their secret code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whaaat? I don't know what you're talking about... Are you just jealous that I was with Xiaoyun when we were walking back from work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi sarcastically responded that her mind was still angry over Yueyue for telling Nami about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, she was a little confused about how the two had even met to talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing Yueyue, Yuqi can bet a house that she wouldn't just go to the central bank just to tell Nami about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuqi, come on. Is that really true?\" Wuli asked, staring right at her face, trying to see if she was lying or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would I sneak behind you guys' back just for some desire? I'm not that desperate enough to do it in my work area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yuqi's calm response, Nami started to doubt her source a little. Even Wuli, who doubted her word, started to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Yuqi's defense had a clear weakness as they all turned towards Xiaoyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, Lily, let me go help with your homework in the guest room. I can explain your class material.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun immediately grabbed Lily's hand and backpack and speed-walked out of the living room and into the guest room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuqi... Just admit it... We won't blame you over it.\" Shuli murmured as she tried to be a neutral meditator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Innocent before proven guilty. There is zero evidence other than just claims that are just fake news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Yuqi's stubborn answer, the three had already made their opinion on the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xiaoyun and Lily came out of the guest room, everyone was already sitting at the dining table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look who finally decided to show up... Honey, where did you go?\" Leyan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just helping Lily with the homework. Why else would I come out of the guest bedroom with her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two of them seemingly to be completely normal, none of them raised any suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xiaoyun could sense an almost hostile attitude from his wives, except for the two newlyweds, who were just in their normal faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking over across, Yuqi was sitting in her seat completely silent, looking down at her lap as if she had done something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are we waiting for? Let's start eating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun picked up a small piece of chicken from the table, everyone else finally started using their chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one spoke up, all eating in silence until Wuli broke it with a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leyan, how's Huayi's son's birthday?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's pretty fun... Although she kept asking me when Yezi was going to come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I could only tell her I don't know... She already looked a little worried about him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone immediately turned towards Xiaoyun, expecting him to answer the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xiaoyun remained silent as he couldn't give an exact answer to himself either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, when are they done with fighting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their operation just started... It's going to be at least a year of fighting before the campaign ends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one spoke up again as the topic got a little heavy until Xiaoyun added one last message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's going to be rotating breaking for the soldiers, and I'm planning to take his position temporarily until he returns from the break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So you can probably tell Huayi that she will see her husband in one or two months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Leyan nodded, the mood at the dining table had drastically worsened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thoughts of Xiaoyun leaving made them all worried once again, especially given his track record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, stop looking at me like that. Can you not trust me——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don't trust you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them said aloud simultaneously, with Kate and Anna joining in as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, too bad. There's no one else that can switch places for him to take a break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, I need to lead the army myself at some point again, or else I'm going to lose my grid as the commander in chief.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun's wives couldn't argue back, as they knew how important it was for the military to remain loyal to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no better way for him to participate in the leading process in person than by directing on the frontline like Yezi and Yiming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You better bring Kate with you when you do go.\" Nami immediately pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course... Unless Kate wants to quit being my bodyguard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I'm going to go with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate made her decision with a slight hesitation as she was starting to get used to living in peace in Luoping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone should probably start losing some weight first before they start being a bodyguard again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi's words made Kate blush a little, as she hadn't done any sort of training for a very long time now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her belly fat was starting to increase, as she hadn't reduced the food she had been eating while sitting all day in Anna's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to go with you guys——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wuli, do you really want to leave Bingbing this early? She's going to miss you if you go on a long mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leyan's question made Wuli back down, but her face clearly indicated she wanted to do something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she had only been taking care of Bingbing for less than a month, she was starting to get tired of being a mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can take care of Bingbing if you really want... I don't really think the baby can care about the difference that much between us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuli's sudden support caught everyone a little off guard, as she was indirectly trying to make her own sister take the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't need two bodyguards... But Wuli, if you really want to help me, you can join back the army again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuli was a little surprised by Xiaoyun's offer, as she had been expecting him to prevent her from joining it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, really. I have two army corps that are undergoing training right now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I still haven't fully established their unit structure, so you can be one of their commanders if you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short consideration, Wuli ultimately shook her head out of everyone's shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's too high of a position for me... I haven't been on the frontline for so long now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are way more qualified people who deserve it... I'd like to have the same as my original position instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's no problem... Just tell me when you're comfortable in going back to the army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the plates on the dining table started to become empty, everyone was already full from eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm full.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami and Lily were the first to call it, heading straight into the kitchen to put their empty bowl before walking over to the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With more and more leaving, eventually, only Leyan and Xiaoyun remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you hurry up with eating? You're blocking me from cleaning the table.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shoving all of the food, Xiaoyun finally left his seat to let Leyan begin cleaning it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you looking at, Yongyi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun curiously asked as Yongyi was the only one left in the booster seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy! I want... I want... I want milk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking over to Leyan, she shook her head as she continued before going back to cleaning the table with a cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You already ate. It's not time for that yet, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun patiently answered as the three mothers had been feeding their babies a small amount of porridge and other solid food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mommy... I want milk.\" Yongyi pleaded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just finished eating the porridge. I can't breastfeed you until like an hour or so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leyan finally spoke up, but it almost sounded as if she was explaining it to Xiaoyun rather than the baby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yongyi, listen to your mommy, okay?\" Xiaoyun murmured as he gently patted Yongiy's head.\u003C\u002Fp>",1505,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","286b3c1c38d54a9a63a3553f1a0a65160812ac52cd38c7f21a368050253c3ac0","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-450","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-448",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
