When Xiaoyun finished showering, he quickly threw his dirty clothes into the washing machine.

"Man, that was a satisfying hot shower..."

After cloning a fresh pair of clothes, he finally headed to the second-floor hallway before stopping by the room on the right.

"Why was Yueyue hiding the room?"

He hesitated for a second but chose to keep it a secret for now as he headed downstairs to the living room.

"Daddy!"

As all four of the kids started running towards him, Xiaoyun warmly sat down on the floor and gave each one a warm hug.

"You guys only hugged me because I took a shower, wasn''t it?"

The three older ones shyly looked to the floor, except for Xuanhua, who looked a little confused by what he said.

"Dada!"

"Yes, I''m here. You four behave well at home, right?"

Seeing all four of them nodding, Xiaoyun patted them on the head before heading over to Wuli and Shuli, sitting on the sofa.

"You two miss me?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as the two of them gently put their baby in his arms.

The two babies didn''t really respond, so Xiaoyun took it as a yes as he kissed them on the forehead.

"Be good to your mommy, okay?"

After handing the two babies back to their mother, Xiaoyun quickly noticed the other four babies on the floor looked a little grumpy.

"Okay, okay, I''ll give you guys a kiss as well... Muah! Muah! Muah! Muah! Now you all happy?"

Rather than what Xiaoyun imagined, the four kids quickly ran away from him before going over to Wuli''s and Shuli''s sides.

"They are probably just a little hungry. You''re overthinking it, Xiaoyun."

Shuli pointed out as she helped Yongyi and Lianrong up from the ground before putting them onto the sofa.

"They haven''t eaten lunch yet. So that''s probably why as well." Wuli added, helping Qiaolan and Xuanhua to the sofa as well.

"I guess you''re right..."

Xiaoyun felt a little defeated as the four babies started playing with each other on the sofa, almost as if they had forgotten what had just happened.

"Xiaoyun, can you go call their moms over to the kitchen? We don''t really have enough milk to feed them." Shuli quietly asked.

"Okay."

Arriving in the kitchen, he immediately noticed the rest of the girls all standing behind the countertop, all watching Leyan.

"Now, this is a lesson you all need to learn. Killing a fish is not that hard. Just smack the head here with the clever like this."

"You guys killing fish?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he tried to use his height to peek around the crowds of people.

"Yeah... You took a shower that fast already?"

Leyan asked as the girls watched her in silence, moving the meat cleaver through the gills.

"Wasn''t that long. Oh, Wuli and Shuli told me to come in and tell you guys that the babies are hungry right now."

"I''m sure Yueyue will use it safely once I teach her later... Ahem, let''s keep eating."

As the lunch resumed, Xuanhua suddenly started crying before all of the babies started crying.

"Oh snap, they must be hungry."

Watching them all unbuttoning their blouse, Xiaoyun didn''t remotely hide his glare a single bit.

Nor did any of them bother hiding it at this point, as they had already gotten used to breastfeeding in front of their husband.

Except for the three trio of Kate, Anna, and Tianci, whose faces immediately blushed a little as they tried their best to focus on eating.

"Tianci, how many months do you have left?" Xiaoyun suddenly asked as he finished up most of his rice in his bowl.

"I-I think my labor date is in October... So five months from now."

"Honey, how could you forget about that? You asked this like three times already." Leyan questioned.

"I''m just too busy, okay?" Xiaoyun nervously replied as he wiped an invisible sweat off his forehead.

All of them looked a little disappointed in him, but all he could do was continue eating to hide the awkwardness.

"I''m sure Brother Xiaoyun isn''t doing this on purpose." Lily quietly whispered.

"Lily, don''t defend him. Think about it this way: how would you feel if he forgot about your birthday?" Leyan asked.

"I remember her birthday. Don''t try to push this over to me." Xiaoyun interrupted.

"Really? Then when is Lily''s birthday?"

Xiaoyun''s brain froze for a second, but he eventually came up with an answer.

"It''s in July, right?"

"When in July?"

Xiaoyun quickly got up from his seat, running over to the rice cooker to hide his embarrassment as all of the girls let out a chuckle.

"He can''t even remember your birthday. I bet he doesn''t even remember our birthday either." Yuqi quickly added fuel to the flame.

"How about we start asking what our birthday is one by one, and we use that to decide tonight?"

Shuli''s suggestion was instantly accepted, but Xiaoyun quickly put his bowl down right into the sink.

"I''m full."

Seeing him avoiding the questioning, the girls once again let out a chuckle, confusing the kids as they couldn''t understand what was happening.

"M-Mom, why''s funny?" Yongyi curiously asked as he let go of Leyan''s nip.

"Nothing, don''t worry about it."

The rest of the dinner was quickly finished, and they began heading to the living room one by one until only Leyan remained to clean up.

Xiaoyun instantly decided to head back to the kitchen to help her clean, avoiding his wives once again as Nami put on a TV show. Continue your journey at empire

"Leyan, let me clean the table. Bring Yongyi with you."

The offer was accepted as Leyan happily carried Yongyi in her arms, leaving Xiaoyun alone in the kitchen.

"Whew... That could have been so bad. I need to really start making note dates on my phone."

Xiaoyun thought to himself as he gathered the dirty dishes and put them into the dishwasher before heading to the table with a wet towel.
