Chapter 385: Misunderstanding, Breakfast, and Disguise
Hearing Xiaoyun's answer, Leyan felt a little better. But still, she knew it was just a bunch of empty words.
"You better be honest... You know what our opinion is on you getting more girls."
"Yes, I know. Only let girls that you guys know personally and ask you guys before I can marry them."
"Hmph!"
Seeing Leyan still looking a little annoyed, Xiaoyun decided to test the water a little.
"What up with you trying to pry something out of me since the morning? Did I do something wrong?"
Xiaoyun asked, not flinching a single bit as he replaced the pan with a pot full of water.
"Hmph! Explain the blood stain on the bed sheet."
Leyan finally revealed her evidence as she couldn't find an answer from Xiaoyun's calm voice.
"Oh, that blood stain. It's just from Tianci. No way you're questioning me all that just from this?"
Xiaoyun let out a massive sigh of relief in his head. He was fully expecting Leyan to somehow catch onto his relationship with Kate.
"Tianci? I thought she didn't drink blood anymore. How could it be her?" Leyan asked, her face looking a little confused.
"It's not my blood. It's her hymen... Let's just say that if I don't have sex with her for a while, her body start to regenerate on its own."
"Oh..."
Leyan's face blushed a little as she realized the misunderstanding she had made from the beginning.
"Then you better have sex with her more frequently. Losing that thing over and over again hurts."
Leyan lectured before running out of the kitchen in embarrassment, leaving Xiaoyun to cook breakfast alone.

When Xiaoyun was still cooking breakfast, all of the girls had already woken up, sitting on the table waiting for him.
"Why is Xiaoyun cooking breakfast today?" Wuli curiously asked as she and Shuli arrived last at the table.
"He felt mom has been doing too much housework, so he's taking some of it away from her," Yuqi explained.
As everyone waited for another five minutes, Xiaoyun finally finished the last dish just as the clock hit ten.
"Ta-da! I spent almost two hours in the morning preparing for this. Tell me if it tastes good or not."
As Xiaoyun began putting the breakfast dishes one by one from the food warmer on the counter, all of the girls were stunned by the variety.
"How did you make all these in that short of a time!" Kate curiously asked, her eyes glued to the breakfast in front of her.
With almost forty different dishes on the table, the girls couldn't even decide which food to start from.
It was almost as if they went out to have a brunch and ordered every food from the restaurants.
"It's a top-secret——"
"Come on, honey, we all know how you did it." Leyan rolled her eyes as she picked up one of the food with her chopsticks.
Kate immediately realized what Leyan meant by it, as did the rest of the girls, who didn't really care how he made it.
"Hey, don't put it like that. I had to make some of them from scratch to make them perfect first."
"Yeah, yeah, sure, whatever... It's not even that good anyway. It's all just outside dim sum food."
Leyan murmured to herself near the end as she felt a little annoyed at how good the breakfast tasted.
It wasn't just jealousy, either. It was almost an irrational fear of losing her job as the cook for this household.
Still, she didn't speak up about it as this breakfast removed the need for her to wake up early, not to mention she was the one who made the wish.

"What do you guys think of this breakfast? Is it better than the last time I cooked breakfast?"
Xiaoyun curiously asked as he gathered all the empty plates and chopsticks and put them in the dishwasher.
"Ten out of Ten," Nami spoke up first, with Yuqi and Yueyue nodding in agreement as well.
"This food is so good, I can barely move..." Lily murmured as she rubbed her full belly, with Wuli and Shuli doing the same.
"Best breakfast I ever had ever since I stepped foot in this country," Anna complimented.
"Thank you, thank you."
Xiaoyun bowed down slightly before bringing each one of them a cup of tea that he had forgotten to bring up on the countertop until now.
After everyone had taken a sip of the tea, Kate suddenly spoke up.
"Can you do this for every breakfast? Please. I don't ask for much. I'll even donate half of my salary for this."
Seeing Kate looking desperately wanting Xiaoyun to cook breakfast in the future, Leyan got a little grumpy.
Xiaoyun immediately noticed the change on Leyan's face, causing him to change his answer.
"I can't cook this every day. Maybe only the weekend at most... But it will still be as good as this."
Kate felt a little disappointed, but she was relieved to hear the last part.
"Ahem, what do you guys want to do for the weekend? We can finally do something together with him being back home now."
Leyan asked before anyone could get up from their seats, as she felt it was the perfect moment for them to spend time together.
"Um, I was thinking of having a rest day at home. It's so hot outside right now." Yuqi revealed her plan.
"Same... I don't think going out in this weather is a good idea. Maybe in the afternoon or evening when it's not as hot." Nami added, backing Yuqi up.
"It's not that hot. It's going to be even hotter when summer comes. If we don't go now, we're not going to get the chance to."
Lily argued as she felt a little bored staying home all day, not wanting to give up the chance to go outside.
"Come on, are we really staying home for the weekend again?"
Yueyue complained, looking a little annoyed as she wanted to do something outdoors.
"I mean, the better question is, can we go out with this dummy?" Yuqi argued back as she pointed over to Xiaoyun.
"Me? I mean, I don't mind going out——"
"No, it's not about you wanting to go out or not. We're going to get instantly recognized the moment you step foot on the streets."
Hearing Yuqi's point, both Yueyue and Leyan, who wanted to go outside, fell into silence.
"Well, I don't think I'm that popular. And most people still probably think I'm in Foshan. Besides, I can just wear a hat and disguise myself——"
"Yeah, and start some drama about your wives going out together with a strange man while you're gone in Foshan."
Yuqi's cynical comment instantly made the room fall into dead silence, as nobody could argue against it.
"Geez, Yuqi, do you hate going outside that much?" Wuli curiously asked.
"I already go to work every day. All I want to do is lie on the sofa and rot on the weekend, okay?"
With no other suggestions, Leyan felt a little disappointed that it was going to be a boring weekend at home.
But suddenly, Shuli threw in a suggestion that changed everything.
"Then why don't we all disguise ourselves? I mean, then none of us would be recognized, and it'll be all fine."
"That does sound like a perfect plan..." Nami murmured as she began to switch sides, as she had been home ever since she had Xuanhua.
"Tianci, what do you think?" Xiaoyun curiously asked after noticing she had been silent the whole time.
"Um, I-I think I'm going to work my lab——"
"Come on, you have all the time in the world to do work. It's the weekend. You have to come with us."
Yueyue argued as she grabbed onto her hand, making Tianci blush a little before nodding in agreement.
With the sides flipped, Yuqi eventually gave in to pressure and agreed to go out with the rest of the girls.
Kate and Anna, meanwhile, were even easier to convince, as they didn't really object to going out with them.
Although they felt a little awkward when Leyan initially labeled it a family trip, it quickly ended up being a shopping trip instead.
The biggest hurdle was to have a disguise to cover themselves, which was easily solved by Yueyue's and Kate's makeup skills learned from their job.
With everything set, they stood in the living room as Shuli began making the roles that best suited their disguises.
Xiaoyun is matched with Leyan as husband and wife, and Lily is disguised as their daughter.
Meanwhile, Yuqi and Yueyue are disguised as Wuli and Shuli's husband, as their pregnancy made it hard for them to hide as anything else.
Tianci and Nami were made into sisters, and kate and Anna became sisters as well.
