There’s no point in waiting any longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Houqin and her dad looked a little shocked, as neither of them expected Jingyi to announce something like this suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no rush. She’s only his fiancée. It would leave her a bad name if she moves in too fast.\" Leyan advised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I almost forgot about that... Actually, since we’re both here today, why don’t we check what would be a good day for them to marry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jingyi got up from her seat and started heading over to the calendar by the door, Houqin finally had enough of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom! I’m only Xiaoyun’s girlfriend! Who told you that I’m his fiancée? I’m not getting married any time soon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jingyi looked a little shocked, but she quickly recovered as she sat back down right next to Houqin again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You told me a few days ago that Xiaoyun proposed to you. Now you’re telling me you’re only his girlfriend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never said that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m pretty sure you did...\" Xiaoyun quietly murmured as he still vividly remembered how Houqin described it word for word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I never meant it. That was a mistake. We haven’t even kissed or gone on a date or anything yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Houqin voiced out her frustration, Jingyi looked much calmer than anyone expected as she gently grabbed onto her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, then you’re his girlfriend. Leyan, do you mind having your son take her on a date and make her a woman?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not. I’m more than happy to arrange a date for the two of them... Actually, they should decide it for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s all about free love for the younger generations. We, as old mothers, shouldn’t interfere with our kids’ romantic life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden changeup by Leyan surprised everyone in the room, especially Jingyi, who seemed to want it as fast as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she didn’t argue back, accepting Leyan’s suggestion as she looked over to her daughter with a fierce look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re lucky your mother-in-law is so understanding. Any other mother-in-law would have rejected you for being so naive and picky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Miss Leyan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Houqin bowed down in gratitude as she could tell Leyan was being genuinely generous in giving them some time to process their relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No worries... Oh, it’s getting late. I need to head back home before my daughters burn up the kitchen by accident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your daughters, too? This generation nowadays can’t cook. Can’t believe how degraded young women nowadays have become.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Houqin shyly looked down at her knees, Leyan didn’t say anything back as she signaled Xiaoyun to get up from the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s been nice talking to you, Jingyi, hope we can see each other again next time... Oh, almost forgot, this is my number.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leyan and Jingyi quickly exchanged numbers as Xiaoyun and Houqin’s dad awkwardly looked back at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You scared of your wives, too?\" The old man suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’d better be scared of my daughter as well. Or else I’ll come to your house and knock on your door in the middle of the night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun didn’t say anything back, only giving him a warm smile as Leyan quickly grabbed onto his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See next week, Houqin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the door closed, Jingyi immediately looked over to Houqin with her face written with the word question all over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Houqin, you never told me about his mom. I thought you said your husband was an orphan—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is an orphan. Everyone in the town knows he’s adopted. What makes you think she’s...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hesitation and regret began to set in as Houqin realized she had misspoken. She had accidently leaked way too much information to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Houqin, don’t stutter. Just say it.\" Houqin’s dad quietly whispered as he sat back down next to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s married to him. You happy? Is that what you wanted to hear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s what?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jingyi immediately stood up from her chair in shock, with her husband rubbing his ears as if he couldn’t believe what their daughter had just revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She adopted him as soon as the outbreak happened and fell in love with him a few months later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Houqin clarified the answer, the two still looked a little shocked. But not as shocking as when they first heard it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then her three daughters...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, they’re all married to him, too! You got picked on the nose like a dummy, going around in circles the whole time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"B-But why would she do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jingyi questioned, her head getting all confused as the situation escalated too much for her to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you never asked them. They just assume you already know about it since they never bother hiding it in the newspaper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They played us like a damn fiddle! I knew we should have never let them be together like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Houqin’s dad let out his frustration, Jingyi looked much calmer, as if she had gotten over it already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not so fast. Let them decide what to do among themselves. I’m not going to bother with whatever you have with your... boyfriend of yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Houqin looked back at her mom with gratitude, as it became clear that she had given up all control back to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Mom...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, but before you go anywhere, I need to teach you how to cook. No daughter of mine is going out without even knowing how to cook for their future husband.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh hell no, I’m getting outta here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leyan, really? Calling yourself my mom?\" Xiaoyun questioned as he put on his seatbelt before inserting his car key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Am I not your mom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know what I mean... Why didn’t you just introduce yourself as my wife?\" Xiaoyun asked the question that had been on his mind the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I introduce myself as your wife, then the seniority in the family will be messed up. I ain’t about to get called Miss by someone who’s a few years older.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun rolled his eyes as he shifted the gears, ignoring her petty argument as he drove the car back onto the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever you say...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driving back home, a question suddenly popped into his head as the radio started talking about the upcoming annual Mid-Autumn Festival on the 10th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Leyan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know how everyone in the family knows about our relationship, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. What about it? Don’t you dare ask if you should tell her parents. That’s not happening in a million years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m asking about Houqin... Should I be honest with her? She doesn’t know any of the stuff that we had been through or anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Xiaoyun and Leyan fell into silence, with the only audio coming out of the car’s radio speaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should be honest with her. It wouldn’t be fair to have her be the only one excluded. Even Tianci and Lily know about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But only tell her about it on the wedding day if she can’t accept it. Then she doesn’t love you as much as us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t that a bit late and a little cruel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ask Yuqi and tell her about it then. I’m sure she’ll come up with a much nicer solution than the one I’m proposing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I think I’m just going to go with that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun immediately backed down as he could already imagine Yuqi suggesting to ’lock’ Houqin up or even make her ’disappear.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This year’s mid-antumn festival is going to be a real special one, isn’t it? I’m sure everyone is excited for what’s coming up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, have you planned anything for the mid-autumn festival?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ask Yuqi—Ouch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who told you to use the same answer as me? Hmph! You’d better learn your lesson, or else I’m going to hit you harder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay, geez... I really got hit for telling the truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You dead on serious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. What makes you think I was the one who made it? Both Yueyue and Yuqi were the ones who made the two previous festivals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, my bad. Sorry honey... Did it hurt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Leyan gently held onto Xiaoyun’s arm, he started pretending as if he was seriously hurt by the punch earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my god, I think you broke my arm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, then you deserved it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow... What a cruel and heartless wife I have. Can’t believe she would do something like this to me—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xiaoyun could finish talking, he let out a cold breath as Leyan’s hand suddenly reached over to his crotch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say one word, and I’m going to jerk you off while you’re still driving over sixty miles per hour.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay... W-Wait, that was force of habit—Hm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun feels a cold sensation on his right thigh, it almost causes him to accidently swerve the steering wheel to the left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pay attention to the road, honey. This is a punishment for... talking back to your mother like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1508,"2026-06-10T06:59:54.885Z",1,"novelbin.me","94864007227d7ed9a1a84b4ef4b746b3345ad1f8cbd8f5c18bee3d6019076814","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-502","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-751",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
