Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Yueyue's Acceptance
"Ahem, anyway, you should probably go make it up with Yueyue before it's too late. Don't forget the meeting tomorrow."
Yezi proceeded to push Xiaoyun out of the command center before he could ask more questions.
Tianci and Kate couldn't help but let out a small chuckle as they watched Xiaoyun have the door close right in front of him.
Xiaoyun turned back around with a normal face as if nothing had happened.
"Ahem, I'm going back home."
The two quickly changed back to their normal tone, but the atmosphere felt less tense than before.
---
Just as Xiaoyun stood in front of the house, he reached for his key to open the door.
But the door opened before he could put his keys in.
"Hey, honey! Welcome back!" Nami excitedly jumped into Xiaoyun's arm.
Xiaoyun reacted just in time as he moved one leg back to balance himself.
"Woah, be careful. You have to remember you aren't just by yourself now." Xiaoyun lectured Nami as he carried Nami in his arms.
"I know. I know. I'm just too excited to see you back home." Nami whispered into Xiaoyun's ear.
"We just saw each other an hour earlier... Anyway, has Yueyue come back home yet?" Xiaoyun asked as he put Nami back down on the sofa.
"Yeah, she came back earlier and just rushed back into her rooms. She didn't even look at Qiaolan... Did you make her mad?" Nami asked back as she noticed Xiaoyun got a little nervous hearing it.
"Just a little..."
Nami stares at Xiaoyun's eyes as if she could see right through Xiaoyun's lies.
"Okay, maybe more than just a little. I was just too paranoid and wasn't in the right mind."
As Xiaoyun replied to Nami, Kate and Tianci went back outside to scout around the area.
"You better go apologize to her then... Just a warning to you. Yueyue almost never drops grudges, so you better be prepared." Nami warned with a serious look on her face.
"Is it really that bad?" Xiaoyun asked curiously.
"Let me tell you, I learned it the hard way when I accidentally broke her favorite dress a few years back. She completely stopped talking to me for half a year.
Like she doesn't even show her anger at you or anything. Just a dead face when you try to talk to them... I was only able to fix it when I brought her a new one." Nami explained.
"Oh..." Xiaoyun suddenly started having a bad feeling.
"Anyway, go now. Don't just sit here and talk... Mom is coming back in a few hours to cook dinner. If she learns about whatever you did to Yueyue, she's going to be very mad."
Nami got back up and walked over to the cribs to play with the three babies.
"Why didn't I think it through..." Xiaoyun sighed as he got up from the sofa.

After a long struggle up the stairs, Xiaoyun was finally in front of Yueyue's door.
"Yueyue, it's me," Xiaoyun asked gently as he knocked on the door.
There was no response at all from the inside.
Xiaoyun knocked on the door again and asked, "Yueyue, I just want to talk to you."
Yueyue finally responded but still didn't open the door.
"Go away. I don't want to see you right now."
"Yueyue, I'm sorry for earlier. You're right. I was way too paranoid. I shouldn't threaten them like that at all..." Xiaoyun spoke out loud, hoping Yueyue could hear it.
"I know this sounds like excuses on top of excuses, but yesterday, the hospital got a robbery attack... I realized the town wasn't as safe as I thought."
Xiaoyun sat down in front of the door as he spoke his mind next.
"You know I always hear the soldiers and the jury saying how 'Mr.Commander, you are too kind to the enemy.' Or 'Mr.Mayor, you are too lenient to those prisoners.' The pressure was just getting into my head."
"It only got worse when I woke up in the hospital learning that I got assassinated. I felt like I couldn't trust anyone except you guys. I felt like everyone was a potential enemy."
Xiaoyun looked up at the ceiling, feeling much more relief from letting his feelings out.
"I apologize for what you had to witness today. But I'm not going to take it back. I realized I had been too nice to others my whole life... Mingxu was right."
Xiaoyun paused for a second as he started having flashbacks to the number of times he helped everyone else, even at the cost of his health and benefit.
"I know that might make me sound stubborn and fixated that kindness shouldn't exist. But I promise you that I won't turn into whatever you imagine me to be. I'm only trying to seek a balance between kindness and——"
Just as Xiaoyun was about to finish, the door suddenly opened.
"You promise?" Yueyue asked.
As Xiaoyun turned around, he could see Yueyue in her pajama and tear marks all over her face.
"Yes, I promise. If it weren't for kindness, I would never have you guys... I would never ditch that."
Seeing Xiaoyun was fully serious in his voice, Yueyue's heart began to soften.
"You better keep your promise, or else I-I'll tell mom that you lied to me." Yueyue couldn't think of anything that could make Xiaoyun keep his promise, so she defaulted to Leyan.
"Of course, I'm going to keep it. I had said that so many times now." Xiaoyun reassured her.
"Okay then... get up already. Don't sit in front of my room like this."
Yueyue kicked Xiaoyun a little, but Xiaoyun didn't move at all.
"Um, I kind of can't get up..." Xiaoyun awkwardly scratched his head.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I completely forgot you are still injured."
Yueyue apologized as she bent down to support Xiaoyun back up, but Xiaoyun couldn't' stand on his own at all.
With no other choice, Yueyue lifted Xiaoyun in her arms and carried him to her bed.
"It's okay. I probably shouldn't have sat on the ground like that. Probably sat too long and got a little paralyzed."
"No, I should be the one apologizing. I should have known all the pressure that had been building up on you." Yueyue gently stroked Xiaoyun's hair.
Xiaoyun felt a little surprised by the sudden change in Yueyue's attitude towards him, almost as if Nami had made the whole difficult part up.
Just as the two looked at each other faces with mutual understanding, Xiaoyun's stomach suddenly started growling.
Yueyue immediately unbuttoned her pajama and took off her bra right in front of Xiaoyun's face before he had time to say anything.
"Here, you must be hungry... Mom went to Huayi's house today, so it's going to be a while before she comes back and cooks dinner."
With Yueyue's breasts being held up before Xiaoyun's mouth, he took no hesitation and began suckling on the nipple.
"Hm... y-you don't have to suck on it that hard."
Despite Yueyue's complaint, Xiaoyun continued to suckle on it as if he wanted every last drop of it.
After maintaining the position for a while, Yueyue was getting a little turned on as Xiaoyun started licking around nipples.
"Hm. Stop playing." Yueyue gently knocked on Xiaoyun's head.
As Xiaoyun swallowed down a mouthful of milk, the door suddenly swung wide open.
"Hey, Yueyue Qiaolan is hungry... w-what are you two d-doing?"
Nami looked in shock as she watched Xiaoyun suckling on Yueyue's nipples like a baby, and she could even see the white stain on Xiaoyun's lips.
"I..." Yueyue couldn't come up with any sentence as her mind just kept on running blank.
"I'll be back later."
Nami immediately left the room and closed the door.
"Was that Xiaoyun drinking Yueyue's breast milk? Why is he drinking that?"
Nami couldn't come up with a reason as she held Qiaolan in her arms.
After standing outside for a minute, Yueyue finally opened the door again.
This time, Yueyue was fully dressed, but her blushing red face and her slightly off-angle bra told Nami what she saw earlier wasn't fake.
"I can take Qiaolan. Y-you can go take care of the other two." Yueyue quickly held Qiaolan in her arms and closed the door.
With the door closed right in front of her face, Nami got a little angry.
"Not even a thank you... Why is Yueyue so shy about it? Not like we haven't seen each other on the bed." Nami mumbled to herself as she walked downstairs.

When Leyan arrived at the front porch of the house, she noticed Tianci and Kate standing in front of the door.
"Hey Tianci, what are you doing?" Leyan asked curiously.
"Just doing our bodyguard job. We just examined the area to see if there is any possible danger. Now we're just standing guard." Tianci replied.
"Kate, you too?"
Kate nodded in agreement.
"Oh, okay..."
Leyan looked a little unhappy with Yueyue's choice with Kate as she stared at her chest and felt a little threatened.
"You two don't need to stand out like this. Come on it." Leyan opened the door and signaled the two to come inside.
Tianci wanted to go inside the house, but seeing Kate stand firm, Tianci decided to stay outside as well.
"Come on, I'm just about to cook dinner too. You guys don't want to try it?" Leyan threw in a bait.
Leyan could see Tianci's mind was torn on staying or not, but surprisingly, Kate was the one who made the decision first.
"Sorry to bother you." Kate apologized as she took off her shoes at the door.
"Don't worry about it. You're always welcome inside." Leyan replied as she brought a new pair of slippers for Kate.
Seeing Kate going inside, Tianci went inside the house as well.
"Tianci, bring Kate around the house, okay? If she's Xiaoyun's bodyguard, she should learn the house layout. I'm going to go cook dinner now."
"Um, follow me. I'll show you around."
Tianci guided Kate around as Leyan went to the kitchen.
