"What?"

Xiaoyun innocently looked back to Hou Qin with a confused face, seemingly not understanding her question.

"Commander, Inventory doesn''t just show up randomly. A lot of staff have been questioning where they came from."

Hou Qin''s question made him stand still in silence as he thought of a way to cover up, but it was just too hard to hide, considering her role.

"Catch."

As Xiaoyun threw out a pen and a Beretta 92, her face quickly went from shock to calm.

"Thank you, commander." Hou Qin quietly murmured as she looked a little relieved to learn the truth.

"Don''t tell anyone else this... And you can keep that pistol as a self-defense."

Watching him walk out of the room, her heart couldn''t stop racing as she put both of them on the table.

"The rumors really are true... Is this what it feels to have a gift from someone?"

Just as Xiaoyun exited the logistics office, he ran right into someone around the corner.

Unfortunately for the other person, they fell onto the floor and felt almost like running into a brick wall.

With the paper scattered all over the floor, Xiaoyun quickly helped the person back up before gathering the paper.

"Sorry about that... Wait, this Yiming report?"

"Y-Yes, commander, " the staff member nervously said after noticing who he had bumped into.

"I''ll give it over to Hou Qin."

Xiaoyun quickly took all of the paper and dismissed the staff before heading back to Hou Qin''s office.

"Yiming''s report, you can read it first..."

"Hm!"

Within seconds, Xiaoyun quickly put the paper onto the table, turning around to face against the door.

His mind started racing, and he could not believe what Hou Qin was doing in the office with his gift.

"C-Commander, y-you didn''t see anything, right?" Hou Qin nervously asked as she stuttered several times.

"Nope. I saw nothing... Can I turn around now?"

"Y-Yes."

Turning back around, Hou Qin''s pants were back to her waist, but the strand of clear liquid on the pen told an ''exploration'' story.

"I understand everyone has their needs... Let''s just get back to work right now."

"Yeah..."

Hou Qin quickly grabbed the paper on the table, taking a read of it as her face turned back to serious.

After she had finished reading it, he finally took a look at it himself.

It was just a status report with lists of supplies requested, from ammos to uniforms to even delivering soldier''s mail to their family.

Surprisingly, it also stated that massive loads of supplies were being shipped back to Luoping.

The scale was bigger than Xiaoyun had ever imagined—an entire cargo ship full of canned food untapped in a Dongguan port.

As he convinced himself inside his head, he had finally arrived back home before six o''clock.

"Welcome back! What was the emergency?" Nami curiously asked as she opened the door for him.

"Just battlefield reports from Lingang and Yiming... Anyway, is dinner cooked yet? I''m getting kind of hungry."

"Mom just started cooking. It''s probably going to be in about an hour."

"That''s fine. Where is everyone?" Xiaoyun asked after noticing everyone seemed to be missing in the living room.

"They are in the backyard. It''s a lot cooler outside with the wind." Nami explained.

"Then why are you in the living room?"

"Because I don''t like walking. You got a problem——"

Before Nami could finish talking, Xiaoyun quickly lifted to give her a piggyback ride.

"Time to bring the princess to the backyard," Xiaoyun said out loud as he started walking towards the kitchen.

"Idiot..."

Xiaoyun heard Nami''s whisper, but he didn''t answer back as he continued walking forward.

"Hey Xiaoyun, can you get some spring onion from the backyard?" Leyan asked after noticing the two walking past.

"Sure."

After sliding the glass door aside, the cold afternoon wind immediately made the May heat disappear completely.

"Put me down already."

"Too bad... You and Yuqi really act so similar sometimes." Xiaoyun murmured as he suddenly had a flashback.

"Do you really have to mention another woman when you''re with me?" Nami angrily knocked onto his head.

"Ouch——My bad. I didn''t think you would be sour over your older sister."

"Hmph!"

As Xiaoyun continued walking along the stone-paved road, he finally saw his wives all sitting underneath the gazebo with the babies in their arms.

He gently puts Nami down into one of the chairs as Anna quickly handed Xuanhua over to her.

"How''s your work?" Yuqi curiously asked right away.

"All good news... You''re going to have fun the next Monday." Xiaoyun answered as he decided to delay the news.

"Really? What kind of good news could make her have fun?" Yueyue curiously asked.

"Works that you would hate to do... Actually, you''re probably going to have some work, too."

"That sounds exciting!"

"Enough talking about work. It''s the weekend." Wuli interrupted, ending it before the two of them could ask.

Just as Xiaoyun was about to sit and relax in one of the seats, Kate suddenly jumped onto his lap.

"Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun! Guess what?" Kate excitedly asked.

"What?"

"Anna, you aren''t going to tell him? Or do you want me to tell it?" Kate asked, looking over to Anna.

"You can say it..." Anna shyly replied.
