Chapter 544: Midnight Surprises
Last night...
As Xiaoyun finished taking a shower alone, he walked over to his desk before sitting down in his office chair.
Leaning back, his body was more relaxed than ever. His mind was finally at ease as he sat alone in the room.
It was only the second day since he was back home, and for some reason, he could feel a little exhausted being with his wives.
Even though all of them had been treating him like a king at home, seeing the babies constantly running around was starting to become irritating for him.
"You did this to yourself, you dummy."
With a little chuckle, the frown on Xiaoyun's face disappeared as he turned his attention back to the desk in front of him.
"What do I have to do on Monday?" Xiaoyun thought to himself as he took out a small notebook from the wooden drawer.
"Going to the office with Yuqi... Then, head over to Houqin in the afternoon... What else?"
As he tried to think of things to do, his mind was a little surprised that he couldn't think of a thing that needed him.
All the responsibility that was once on him was put onto someone else. There was not a single thing that required him to be there.
The government he had set up was almost like a well-oiled machine that didn't need any human input.
For a split second, his mind was instantly alerted. The thoughts of dividing his power too much to his workers filled up his mind.
Did he manage to turn himself into a figurehead? Do they even need him to function and do their jobs?
After a deeper thought, Xiaoyun quickly shook that idea out of his mind. It's a naive idea that he didn't put much thought into it.
"What am I thinking? Almost all of the high positions are my wives and friends... But why do I feel a little scared?"
Lying still, another idea popped up in his mind. He was just being paranoid, like every man in history who had ruled alone.
There was no one to oppose him——no visible enemy that he could physically see and label as the objective for everyone around him.
"Stop overthinking it, you dummy... Step at a time." Xiaoyun murmured to himself as he thought of Yuqi talking to him.
With the worry out the window, Xiaoyun got up from his seat and closed the bind, getting ready to go to sleep as the clock ticked to ten o'clock.
"Another night alone... Thank god."
Despite sleeping alone, he felt a little bit happy inside. He could finally sleep without having a bunch of women exploiting his body at night.
---
As Xiaoyun kept his eyes closed, his body couldn't fall asleep. Partially, it was due to all the food he had eaten just a few hours earlier.
But more important, he hasn't done 'it' for a while now.
Even though he knew his body had certainly done it who knows how many times last night, having it done while unconsciousness didn't satisfy his brain at all.
"Fuck, maybe I should go get a bit of fresh air."
Just as Xiaoyun was about to get up from the bed, a sudden cold breeze through the window sent him back into the blanket.
"How is it so cold in May?"
Xiaoyun complained as he slowly sat up from the bed, grabbing his phone from the nightstand to check the time.
It was already past midnight, killing the idea of waking one of his wives up for a little bit of fun for himself.
With nothing to do, Xiaoyun was forced to lean back down onto the bed. Trying his best to fall asleep as he began counting sheep in his head.
"One sheep... Two Sheep... Three Sheep... Four Sheep... Five sheep... Six Fuck! I can't sleep now."
Getting up from the bed, Xiaoyun quickly grabbed a pair of clothes from his closet before heading straight out of the room.
The moment he stepped into the hallway, he was a little surprised to see light in the living room downstairs.
More importantly, he could hear a faint voice from downstairs. Someone was clearly having some sort of phone call.
"Huayi, all the babies are doing good, right? Mhm... Don't worry about diapers. They already know how to potty train."
As Xiaoyun walked closer to the staircase, he could see Leyan sitting on the sofa, wearing the same maid outfit from last night.
"Lily wants to talk to me? Okay... Hey Lily. How's the bed at Huayi's place... That's good to hear..."
Listening in, Xiaoyun was a little confused. He could tell Leyan had sent all the babies, including Lily, over to Huayi's place.
"Be patient, okay? You'll get your turn when it's your birthday... You better behave at your best behavior at Auntie Huayi's place."
"What are they up to?"
Xiaoyun wondered as he tried to move a little closer to the edge of the upstairs fences. Still, he couldn't hear the other side's phone call.
"You can hand the phone back over to Huayi... Hey Huayi, we'll go over to pick up the babies tomorrow afternoon."
As soon as Leyan finished his sentence, Xiaoyun noticed her face blushing red as if the other side had poked fun at her.
"Hey! Don't say that... W-We just need a single day... Mhm. You better keep it a secret... I don't want anyone to know we wore this for him."
Just as Xiaoyun was about to lean over the fence to have a better hearing, a voice suddenly appeared from behind.
"Babe, what are you doing here?"
Turning around, all of his wives were standing behind him. All of them were wearing the same maid outfit as Leyan's one downstairs.
"I-I was just going to get water. Why are you all up this late?"
"Uh-huh. Likely story... Anyway, it's more convenient for us now that we don't have to wake you up."
As Yuqi led the charge to force Xiaoyun to walk downstairs, Leyan instantly turned her head up to see them walking down.
"I-I got to go now. Goodnight."
Leyan quickly hung up the phone as she got up from the sofa, reuniting with the other girls as they cornered Xiaoyun down onto the sofa.
"Ahem, w-why are you all wearing this?" Xiaoyun nervously asked.
"You heard Mom's call, didn't you?" Nami questioned, causing Leyan's face to blush red as she looked a little embarrassed.
"I just got there. Why are you wearing all this?" Xiaoyun asked again, the nervousness disappearing as he sat up straight.
"What do you think, babe?" Kate asked back, all of their faces blushing red at the same time as they all looked a little embarrassed.
"Um, I'm not sure... Oh look, it's twelve-thirty. You all should go to sleep. I'm heading back to bed——"
"Where do you think you're going?"
As soon as Wuli pushed Xiaoyun back down onto the sofa, all of his wives swarmed in to pin him down.
"Can we at least do this in the bedroom——"
"No one is home other than us. Come on, babe, you want to do it too, right?" Yuqi seductively whispered as she leaned over to his right ear.
"I..."
After a short thought, Xiaoyun gave up resisting, remaining flat on the sofa as all of his wives surrounded him in the middle.
"Leyan, what do we do now?" Kate asked as her face looked a little embarrassed to see Xiaoyun lying down like this for the first time.
"Get the bedsheet. We don't want to replace this sofa again." Leyan murmured as her face still looked a little embarrassed for some odd reason.
"Okay, I'll go get it."
"Me too."
As Yueyue and Tianci both headed upstairs, Xiaoyun gulped down his saliva out of nervousness as he could tell a tough battle was before him.
"Xiaoyun, what are you nervous about?" Shuli asked softly, sitting down right next to his head.
"Nervous? I'm not nervous. Why would I be nervous? I'm just curious what are you all planning for me next."
"Do we look blind?" Wuli questioned, sitting down on the left side as they both looked down at his face from above.
"N-No. You guys don't look blind to me."
Seeing Xiaoyun seemingly look a little nervous in his response again, Leyan suddenly kicked him on the knees.
"Ouch! What was that for?"
"Stop acting. You aren't nervous at all." Leyan murmured as she singlehandedly lifted the coffee table over to the TV side.
"Fine, fine."
As soon as Wuli and Shuli noticed his face changes, they quickly realized what Leyan said was the truth.
"Hey! Why did you act like that for?" Wuli complained, her voice sounding a little annoyed.
"Just making it more interesting. Don't you guys like it more if I sound more nervous doing this? Being in control of everything?"
Both Wuli and Shuli fell into silence, almost as if Xiaoyun had perfectly predicted it. Still, they weren't going to let this slide so easily.
"Hmph! You dummy... Shuli, sandwich him!"
