Chapter 898: Lashing Out
"I’m serious. I really don’t know. I already checked the three Russians at the very beginning of the investigation, but all of their arms shipment receipts add up."
Seeing Yueyue’s genuine face, the concern on Xiaoyun’s face grew as it turned out to be the worst-case scenario.
"So you’re telling me they made these guns from scratch?"
"That’s what I’m assuming. Most of my agents are trying to track down an underground arms factory."
"That’s definitely the top priority... Keep your focus on that."
As Xiaoyun and Yueyue looked back at each other’s faces, one side soon turned away as their faces blushed red.
"Is there anything else you want to talk about?" Yueyue asked as her voice suddenly turned all shy for some reason.
"Nope. I just wanted to make sure everything is fine... Well then, are you still going to work here, or are you planning to come back home with me?"
"I-I still have some stuff left to do."
"Then I’m not going to bother you any longer."
Just as Xiaoyun hopped off the desk and was getting ready to leave, Yueyue suddenly grabbed his hands.
"W-Wait."
"Hm? What’s wrong?"
"Y-You want me to take care of that?"
Yueyue’s question made Xiaoyun confused until he noticed what made her look away in the first place.
This time, his face blushed for a second before turning to normal. A little bit embarrassed, but nothing worth fretting over.
"It’s fine."
"Y-You sure? I-I don’t mind taking care of it."
"No need. You should focus on your—"
Before Xiaoyun could finish talking, a zipper could be heard being unzipped as Yueyue pushed her office chair forward.
"L-Let me take this as my reward... J-Just one last time before you go to your wedding tomorrow."
---
"What took you so long? Is everything okay with Yueyue?"
As Leyan opened the garage door with a concerned face, Xiaoyun quickly brushed it aside as he entered the living room.
"Everything is perfectly fine. She’s going to stay in her office for a bit longer to finish up some of the work."
Once sitting on the sofa, he continued to act calm until Tianci leaned closer and started sniffing his clothes.
"Xiaoyun, did you have sex?" Tianci suddenly asked in a much deeper voice as both of her pupils turned fully red.
"W-What?"
The nervousness instantly caused all of his wives to turn towards him with angry eyes as Xiaoyun himself looked over to Tianci in anger.
"You—"
"You sneaky snake!"
As Nami led the charge to dogpile on top of Xiaoyun, the rest of his wives followed suit as they started punching him in anger.
"W-wait, can we at least eat dinner first? I-I haven’t even eaten since—Ouch!"
---
When Xiaoyun sat at the dinner table, he robotically picked up the food with his chopsticks, his eyes with little to no light.
Not a single muscle looked at ease, as some part of his body looked weirdly skinnier than usual.
Especially his face, where a hint of bone could be seen through the skin. It was almost as if someone had suck his soul out.
"Honey, you okay?"
"Shut up. I don’t want to talk right now."
As Xiaoyun rejected Leyan’s soft words, none of his wives spoke up as they shyly ate in silence, all of their faces blushing red.
They all knew what they had done together earlier in the living room. What was supposed to be a dinner at 6 had turned into dinner at 10.
A complete, dead-silent dinner... Until the doorbell rang.
"I’ll go answer it."
Shuli quickly got up from her seat, only to nearly trip on a flat surface as her leg muscles suddenly had a spasm.
"Careful," Wuli quietly murmured.
"I know."
Slowly, Shuli walked over to the door. Without even checking the peephole, she opened it for the person outside.
"Welcome back, Yueyue."
"What’s up with your legs?" Yueyue curiously asked as she noticed the awkward hops she was doing to get by.
"D-Don’t worry about it... Are you hungry? We just started eating."
"Of course I’m hungry... But why are you guys eating this late?"
As the two of them headed over to the kitchen, Yueyue immediately noticed the awkward atmosphere at the dining table.
"Why are you all eating like this?"
"All your fault—Ouch!"
Kate groaned in pain as she tried to stretch her back, confusing Yueyue as she walked over to the rice cooker by herself.
"What did I do?"
Nobody answered, leaving her more confused than ever as she walked back over to the dining table with a bowl of rice.
"Xiaoyun, what did you do?"
"Ask them."
Seeing the grumpy, tired face on her husband and the weirdly flushed faces on everyone, Yueyue’s brain soon connected all the dots.
"Did you all have sex without me?"
"Without you? You’re the first one who had sex with him all by yourself."
As Leyan argued without flinching at all, she only awkwardly scratched her head, not expecting to be caught red-handed in front of everyone.
"Okay, my bad."
Yueyue didn’t try to argue back at all, as she knew there was no point in trying to defend what she had done.
"Mom, don’t try to act all innocent. I know what you did yesterday morning."
Yuqi’s sudden exposure caught all of Xiaoyun’s wives’ guard as they all turned towards Leyan for an answer.
Even Yueyue herself was surprised, as she didn’t expect Leyan to be so hypocritical after all the things she had said earlier.
"I-I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"Bullshit. There was a bunch of cum stains underneath his foreskin, and you’re the only one with him in the morning."
"Yuqi, how would you know all that? Did you..."
As Anna pointed it out, Yuqi immediately zipped his mouth shut as she started stuffing food into her mouth to avoid answering.
"Ahem. L-Let’s just eat and stop talking."
Everyone instantly hopped on board with Wuli’s idea for once, as nobody spoke up for the rest of the dinner...
Until Xiaoyun himself spoke up again.
"All of you are a bunch of sex addicts... If Lily were home right now, she would shame all of you."
Once again, nobody spoke up. They were too embarrassed to speak up, despite knowing Lily would be in the same boat.
If she were home.
"How am I supposed to trust you guys when I’m gone? Am I going to find a man home after my trip?"
"Then don’t go." Leyan quietly murmured.
"I’m not going to fall into that debate again. Can you guys just... just get a hold of yourselves for once?"
Seeing all of them shyly looking down at their bowl, Xiaoyun continued with his criticism towards his wives.
"You know what? It’s crazy, you guys’ audacity to call me a pervert. All I see is a bunch of hypocrites who are too afraid to admit it themselves."
As they continued to remain silent, the anger in his head finally reached a boiling point as he stood up from his seat.
"Where’s all your courage when you’re riding on top of my dick? Why moan so loudly yet turn into a wisp when confronted with the truth?
All I see is cowardice in front of me. No willingness to own up to how much I tolerate your guys’ perverted sexual desire."
"Sorry..."
Leyan was the first to apologize, but it didn’t make Xiaoyun any less angry as he thought back to how they were using him earlier.
On top of how he had been used for the past few days, both during the day and at night, with little to no break.
"That’s it? That’s the level of responsibility you guys are willing to hold up as mothers to our children?"
"What more do you want from us then?" Yuqi questioned.
"I want to hear it out of your lips."
As Xiaoyun listed his demands, he could see the hesitation on their faces. Not a single one of them wanted to say the quiet part out loud.
But eventually, one of them cracked under the pressure.
"Fine. I’m a pervert..." Kate murmured as her face blushed red after volunteering first before her peers.
Xiaoyun didn’t say anything, only turning to look over at the rest of his wives, who were still sitting there in silence.
"I’m a pervert..."
"I’m a pervert..."
"I’m a pervert..."
Hearing each of them say it out loud one by one, the anger finally subsided in Xiaoyun’s mind.
For once, he felt a sense of control in the house. Having them do something that none of them wanted to do.
"I’m a pervert. There, you happy?" Leyan questioned as she said it out loud last, her face looking a little annoyed.
"Mhm."
Just as Xiaoyun was about to sit back down, everyone’s phone suddenly started shaking as if they were getting a call.
At the same time, they could hear a faint crying sound coming from the guest hallway.
"Crap."
