Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

As soon as Cheng Zhuo reached the entrance of the wolf pack base, he was blocked by a fat, pale man wearing an ill-fitting suit.

The man, sweat beading on his forehead, his tie askew, clutching a crumpled briefcase, said somewhat urgently:

"Cheng Zhuo, right? The deputy director is waiting for you in the meeting room! He specifically asked me to pick you up!"

Cheng Zhuo glanced at him:

"Okay, tell him to wait."

"?"

The chubby secretary was stunned for two seconds.

Thinking he had misheard, he quickly took two steps after her, his voice becoming increasingly urgent:

"I'm talking about the deputy director, Deputy Director Huyan Song. He's waiting for you in the Wolf Pack's reception room!"

"I heard you."

Cheng Zhuo's voice deepened, "Even if the city lord comes, please make him wait until I see my wife."

After saying that, he picked up Tao Yaoyao and walked into the base without looking back.

Only the chubby secretary was left standing bewildered in the wind...

Just now.

Cheng Zhuo discovered a troubling problem.

Tao Yaoyao is not considered his pet, unlike Guanguan which can be stored in the pet space of the Origin Card.

It's not an inanimate object, so it can't be put into the system space.

She was a newborn and curious about everything. Cheng Zhuo was afraid that if he let her wander around outside, she might accidentally blow up a few holes in the wolf pack's base.

So I had no choice but to carry her in with me.

Fortunately, her current form is a system modification, so there's no need to worry about anyone noticing anything amiss.

Cheng Zhuo carried Tao Yaoyao, who was looking around with curiosity, straight towards the dormitory area.

He had already contacted Ruan Qinghe in advance.

The three girls were waiting for him in the dormitory.

Upon entering, Ruan Qinghe was the first to greet them.

He had only uttered half a sentence, "Brother Zhuo, you're finally back..." when his gaze was suddenly drawn to Tao Yaoyao, and his voice softened slightly:

"Wow~ Whose little baby is this? So cute!"

The cicadas and chirping insects inside were also drawn in by the sound of the door opening.

The moment they saw Cheng Zhuo, they were completely captivated by Tao Yaoyao in his arms and all gathered around her.

The sudden enthusiasm startled Tao Yaoyao, who immediately shrank into Cheng Zhuo's arms.

Her little hands gripped his clothes tightly, her fox ears drooped, and her golden eyes were full of fear.

Cheng Zhuo gently patted her back, his tone soft and soothing:

"Don't be afraid, Yaoyao. They are the three pretty young ladies I told you about. They are all on our side, and we'll need you to protect them in the future."

Hearing him say that, Tao Yaoyao finally raised her head.

He looked around at the three women with curiosity.

"Is her name Yaoyao? Where is she from? Wow, her cat ears can actually move! So cute!!" Ruan Qinghe was completely charmed by Tao Yaoyao and couldn't take her eyes off her.

"Yes, her name is Tao Yaoyao." Cheng Zhuo said with a hint of pride.

"How about 'Tao Yao Yao' from 'Tao Zhi Yao Yao'? It's the name I came up with."

"You got this name?"

Xia Chan's eyes darted around:

"Hehe, Brother Zhuo, she wouldn't happen to be your illegitimate daughter whom you're hiding outside, would she?"

"Of course not, it's a long story, I'll explain it to you later."

Cheng Zhuo put Tao Yaoyao down and let her go to her room to play by herself. After reminding her not to cause any trouble, he closed the door and pulled Xia Chan over.

"Now we can see completely, so we don't need to hold Xia Mo's hand anymore?"

"Mmm." Xia Chan nodded repeatedly, raised her empty hands, and brought her face close to Cheng Zhuo's eyes:

"You can see it so clearly!"

"Pop—"

Cheng Zhuo cupped her face, gave her a deep kiss on her red lips, and teased her with a smile:

"See? I wasn't lying to you. More exercise can lead to a second awakening."

Xia Chan's cheeks flushed instantly. She abruptly broke free from his embrace, grabbed Ruan Qinghe and Xia Mo, and grinned mischievously.

"Then you should try your best."

Ruan Qinghe gave her a reproachful look, then turned to look at Cheng Zhuo, her expression becoming more serious:

"Brother Zhuo, the deputy director contacted us earlier."

"Oh? What did he say?" Cheng Zhuo raised an eyebrow and casually tidied the stray hairs by Ruan Qinghe's ear.

Ruan Qinghe repeated:

"He said he could arrange high-rise villas for us in the inner city, an epic-level source card for each of us, and contracts far exceeding our potential for me, Xia Mo, and you. He hopes that Xia Chan can switch to a contract within the city after she advances to the next level."

"What do you think?" Cheng Zhuo looked around at the three women.

"Of course we'll listen to Brother Zhuo. Brother Zhuo, you don't know how serious Sister Qinghe was back then," Xia Chan quickly replied.

She suddenly straightened up, coughed lightly, and mimicked Ruan Qinghe's demeanor:

"Deputy Director, I'm sorry, you don't need to waste your time here. We won't give you any answer until my husband returns. My words are Xia Chan's words."

Her feigned seriousness made Cheng Zhuo chuckle, and he asked her with a smile:

"Do you want to go to the inner city?"

"I used to think..." Xia Chan suddenly dropped her playful expression and said seriously:

"But it doesn't matter now. Home is wherever Brother Zhuo and my sisters are. I don't think becoming an S-class is anything special. I still want to hide behind my husband and sisters and be a silly girl, hehe~"

"And you?" Cheng Zhuo looked at Xia Mo again.

The girl didn't say anything, but simply stood on tiptoe, reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him directly.

Her soft lips were slightly warm, and their breathing gradually quickened until they were both almost out of breath. Only then did she release them, her earlobes flushed red, but her eyes clearly conveyed her attitude.

She's determined to stay with him.

"How embarrassing!" Xia Chan covered her eyes, then peeked through her fingers again, teasingly saying:

"My sister must be thinking, even if we lived in a grove of trees, she'd be willing to lean against a tree, stick her butt out, and wait for Brother Zhuo..."

Xia Mo blushed, grabbed a cushion from the side and threw it at Xia Chan, as if she wanted to stuff a towel into Xia Chan's mouth.

"Ahhh, sis, don't pinch me! My petrification ability is really strong right now, sob sob..."

Ruan Qinghe leaned against Cheng Zhuo's chest.

I watched them chase each other with a smile.

Cheng Zhuo noticed that Xia Chan's biological strength had reached level 37.5 thanks to the attribute bonuses and the benefits brought by the second awakening over the past few days.

With this kind of body, Xia Mo could no longer catch up with her at all.

Before long, Tao Yaoyao was also infected by the fun, and she wiggled her little legs and ran after her, her silvery laughter filling the room.

As she ran, Tao Yaoyao suddenly stopped, slowly walked to Cheng Zhuo's legs, stretched out her little arms to hug his thigh, and looked up at him, calling out:

"Yaoyao."

Ruan Qinghe looked at Cheng Zhuo suspiciously, "What did she say?"

Cheng Zhuo shrugged helplessly. "I don't know either."

Tao Yaoyao looked up at Cheng Zhuo pitifully, trying hard to express something, but after a long time, all she could say was "Yaoyao..."

Ruan Qinghe stared at her slightly droopy little ears, her eyes lighting up:

"Hey, I see she has cat ears. Why don't we let the can out? Maybe it can understand us."

"She must be..."

Cheng Zhuo originally thought the ears in the novel were fox ears, but then she paused, thinking that it would be fine if they were mistaken for cat ears.

Although he figured that Guan Guan probably wouldn't understand anyway.

But he still put the jar out.

"Meow?"

When the can came out, it looked around sleepily.

"Yaoyao!"

Upon seeing the large cat suddenly appear, Tao Yaoyao jumped two meters high, landing on her hands and feet, and lay there like a little wild animal with its fur standing on end, her little braids standing up.

The jar seemed to sense Tao Yaoyao's powerful aura as well.

The soft hair on its back bristled, and it kept making low growling noises from its throat.

"Hey, hey, don't do anything reckless!"

The two little ones' tense atmosphere startled Cheng Zhuo.

If these two were to fight, the dormitory would probably be reduced to rubble.

They tried to persuade him for quite a while.

After repeatedly confirming that they could smell Cheng Zhuo on each other, the two little ones finally calmed down.

They huddled together, and Guanguan nudged Tao Yaoyao's hand with its head. Tao Yaoyao reached out and touched it in return, and they quickly became familiar with each other.

It seems we're on the same wavelength; we're both speaking baby talk.

Before long, Guanguan was carrying Taoyaoyao around the table.

"Yaoyao."

After playing for a while, Tao Yaoyao drooped her ears and moved closer to Cheng Zhuo.

Cheng Zhuo had no choice but to try asking Guan Guan:

"Guan Guan, do you know what happened to her?"

"Meow?"

Guanguan looked at Taoyao with great interest.

With a quick glance around, he responded to Cheng Zhuo through telepathy:

"She wants to drink milk, preferably the Yi Niu 1.8L Little Fresh Milk flavor!"

……

After a while.

Guanguan happily hugged a large bucket of milk and gulped it down.

Tao Yaoyao was lying in bed, fast asleep.

It turned out she was just sleepy.

Cheng Zhuo and the three women looked at the two adorable creatures with doting eyes. It was a rare moment of tranquility, and the atmosphere was exceptionally warm.

Who would have thought of their family?

The strongest fighters are actually two little ones who are still drinking milk.

"Knock knock knock".

A short while later.

There was a rapid knocking at the door.

Cheng Zhuo frowned and walked impatiently toward the door. He really didn't want to talk to that deputy director.

If he hadn't made an appointment with Huangfu Bai to wait here, he would have already left through the boundary gate.

I don't know what's wrong with that guy, he just hasn't replied to my messages.

Could it be that they couldn't get out?

Cheng Zhuo walked to the door with some worry and opened it.

"Cheng Zhuo, we meet again."

A middle-aged man stood outside the door, wearing a crisply pressed black suit. He had an ordinary appearance, the kind that would be hard to spot in a crowd.

Cheng Zhuo had only met him once.

But I recognized it at a glance.

He's Huangfu Bai's bodyguard!
