Am I really going to wait here for forty minutes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun wondered as he impatiently sat in his car. He was already at the hospital’s parking lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of walking up to the front desk and making a new appointment was tempting, but he wasn’t about to abuse his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the nurses were more than happy to change it for him, considering it seemed like the whole hospital recognized his face as the governor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bored, he started thinking about what the nurse had asked him earlier. The thing that had eluded him the whole drive to the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can I forget about her full name? Did I really never hear either of their full name before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Xiaoyun thought about it, the more disturbed he felt. Even in the wedding vows, the host never said either of his wives’ last names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had always gone on a first-name basis with everyone. No one had ever tried to call their last name, nor did they ever show their ID to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They had to say it at some point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he sat in his car, digging through all of his various memories, he finally found something that matched Anna’s last name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The new gun she made is called HK417. It has to be either Heckler or Koch... But which one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding himself in a dead end, Xiaoyun didn’t try to dig deeper. However, there was now one last one that he had no clue about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did Kate really never say her last name a single time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to find it anywhere in his memory, he started to get curious. Too curious, in fact, that he began texting Leyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for a few minutes, Leyan finally responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Katerina Romanova?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her full name in text, Xiaoyun was a little surprised. He had always called her Kate and nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single person he had talked to ever called her Katerina. Not even on their wedding day did the priest call her Katerina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why doesn’t she like people calling her Katerina?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, he couldn’t figure it out. With nothing much to do, he turned on the music and began waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting in the car for almost thirty minutes, a loud screeching noise instantly snapped Xiaoyun’s mind from delving deep into the music.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking outside his window, a mysterious Ferrari had pulled up to the hospital parking lot, its tires coming to a screeching stop as it barely hit the front curb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whew! I told you we’re going to make it in time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun was a little shocked as it was no one other than Kate and Anna who exited the car with five minutes to spare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m never letting you drive again. I almost threw up sitting in that car. Do you even know how fast you were going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna complained, her hand resting on the car frame as if she was still recovering from some sort of car sickness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better than being late. Come on, let’s go inside——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, did you two forget I’m coming with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he stepped out of the car, the two of them both turned their head towards him, looking a little surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long have you been waiting here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I made the phone call to you guys. Anyway, let’s go to the appointment before the nurse cancels it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the three of them entered the hospital, they were quickly greeted by a front desk nurse, who took their name and birth dates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for just a few minutes, they were quickly sent to meet with a doctor. The same doctor who checked on Tianci’s pregnancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good evening, Governor... These two are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are my wives. They’re here for the initial prenatal appointment.\" Xiaoyun answered with a straight face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So the TV show really was true... Ahem, Governor, can you step outside? I’ll need to perform some checks first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of his wives’ faces flushed as soon as the doctor mentioned the word TV, as they knew exactly what she was talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem. Just call me when you guys are done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly stepped out of the room, leaving the two inside as he closed the door for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh, why did that appointment take so long?\" Kate complained as she stretched out her arms, her body looking beyond exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe if you didn’t come so late, you would have had everything prepared rather than causing trouble for the nurses,\" Xiaoyun argued back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever. I’m never doing this again. I’d rather let my body do whatever rather than go through these kinds of appointments again——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re coming with me to the next appointment. You shouldn’t be that selfish as a mother carrying a baby.\" Anna murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate didn’t argue any further as she got back into the Ferrari. But to Xiaoyun’s surprise, Anna had followed him all the way to his SUV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You aren’t going to sit in Kate’s car?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hate sports cars. Open the passenger seat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun pressed his car key, Anna quickly hopped into the passenger seat, connecting her seatbelt before Xiaoyun had even seated down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Geez, she drives so recklessly,\" Xiaoyun murmured as he watched the Ferrari speed out of the parking lot in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s exactly why I don’t want to sit in her car... You let her be your main driver in the past?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. But she never drove that crazy... Anyway, where did she get a Ferrari from? I never remember letting luxury cars be sold to the public.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun asked as he started up the engine, driving out of the parking lot as he began heading back home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One of the business partners gifted the car to us in Qingyuan. He said the gas is more expensive than the car anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He isn’t wrong. He is probably more than happy to trade away a metal junk for a favor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the car began driving down the road, Xioayun suddenly got a little curious about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Anna, what kind of deals did you make in Qingyuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just signing a long-term steel contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much is the deal worth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you want to know about it?\" Anna questioned back, her face looking a little cautious towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just a little curious. You don’t have to tell me if it’s a trade secret or something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiaoyun not pressing her to speak up any further, Anna herself decided to tell him about it anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s worth three hundred million NRC.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three hundred million! God damn, that’s some crazy high number... Does your company even have that much cash flow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s going to be paid over the entire fiscal year. And the steel factory isn’t even fully repaired yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re only going to start paying them when we actually get their produced product. It’s just a memorandum.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, a memorandum... So a nothingburger\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shocked face quickly vanished from Xiaoyun’s face as he quietly murmured the last part to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s that look for? Are you trying to suggest something?\" Anna questioned, noticing the change on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What look? I’m checking my rear mirror. I don’t know what you’re talking about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly made up an excuse as his arrogant face vanished, replaced by a bland poker face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Anna crossed her arms in irritation, Xiaoyun awkwardly scratched his head, knowing he had fucked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome back! How’s your guy’s prenatal appointment?\" Leyan curiously asked as she opened the door for the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything is good... Where’s Kate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna curiously asked, noticing her not sitting on the living room sofa despite her car parked outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She went to take a shower... Can you two take care of the babies? I need to go cook dinner right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure... Hey Leyan, where’s Lily?\" Xiaoyun yelled out loud as Leyan already headed over to the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She went to her friend’s home since the morning!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh. Shouldn’t she be coming back home already?\" Xiaoyun murmured as he looked over to the clock, which showed almost exactly six o’clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to go check up on Lily? I can take care of the babies.\" Anna suggested as she sat down on the floor to play with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun thought about it for a second, then thanked her as he headed back to the garage and went inside his car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before putting the key to start the engine, he took out his phone and dialed Lily’s phone number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lily, where are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m at my friend’s house... Is there something wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you checked the time? It’s almost seven o’clock. Do you want me to drive over to pick you up right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What! How is it already seven o’clock? The sun is still out and about. That’s impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Check your phone’s time. You tell me if it is seven o’clock or not... You’re going to say something or just going to stay silent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun pressed the button to open the garage door, Lily finally responded with an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. You can come over and pick me up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you at exactly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I sent it to you on text.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the text from her, Xiaoyun gave her one last message before hanging up the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get ready in five minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1557,"2026-06-10T06:59:53.682Z",1,"novelbin.me","e5d640935b9792c8d0697ef2b943f1f06d77e42de14f438839a804e273c19171","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-700","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-698",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
