After a brief meeting with the children, and since it was still quite early and his wives were not yet fully awake, Wang Yan did not wake them. Instead, he and the maids took the chattering children to the school in Anju City.

There were thirty-seven children in total, and Wang Yan arranged for them all to stay at the school. As the only school in Anju City, it covers all schooling levels from three to fifteen years old. The little ones Wang Yan brought were mostly in this age range, so there was no problem.

Since Wang Yan had already informed them yesterday, the enrollment process went very smoothly; all that was needed was for the children to go through the formalities.

Wang Yan entrusted the children to Hawkins and Lily, who would take care of them during his absence. As for any uncertainties, they could consult Xi Hu for advice.

Finally, after getting rid of those annoying little things, Wang Yan stretched and felt great. However, when he checked the time, it was only around eight o'clock. It seemed like he could go back and take another nap.

He hasn't had enough of his little squeaky yet.

"Let's go, Lily, let's go back."

Having dealt with one of his worries, Wang Yan decided to stay here for a day and leave the next morning.

After all, he has a wife who lives here permanently, and he can't just neglect her forever. It would be too immoral to abandon someone after he's done what he did.

However, as soon as the group returned home, Wang Yan saw that his wives were all awake and sitting in the living room discussing where to go for fun.

Looking around but not seeing Zhizhi, who was probably still sleeping, Wang Yan smiled awkwardly, rubbed his hands together, and stepped forward, saying:

"Hehe, Xihu, have you missed me?"

To Wang Yan's surprise, Xi Hu ignored him and continued talking to Yingluo and Huayue about where they should go for fun that day.

"Um... Sister Xihu?"

"Sister Xihu, someone is calling you, meow..."

Yingluo and Huayue sensed something was amiss and promptly reminded Xihu.

But Xi Hu waved her hand dismissively, looking utterly disdainful:

"Huh? I didn't hear any philandering idiot calling my name."

Wang Yan understood; this guy was angry because he hadn't contacted her all day since arriving in Anju City yesterday, and was sulking.

Actually, Xi Hu wasn't really angry; she just wanted to express her dissatisfaction to Wang Yan and figure out how to appease him.

Wang Yan could more or less guess Xi Hu's idea; reasoning with this kind of woman was far less effective than taking concrete actions.

If they can't hear me when I speak and pretend not to see me, how can they just pick me up and still ignore me?

"Hey!"

A sudden dizziness washed over her, and by the time Xi Hu came to her senses, she was already being carried by Wang Yan for quite some time.

"What are you doing! Put me down!"

Wang Yan laughed, raised his hand and patted it. The soft touch was quite comfortable. Xi Hu's yellowish-brown tail stood upside down, its eyes wide open, looking incredulous.

"Oh, you can see me now? You were just pretending you couldn't see me."

"You're such an idiot!"

"Don't worry, you'll see soon enough."

"You!! I, Xi Hu, am not afraid of your dirty tricks. Come at me if you dare!"

"I'd like to see how long you can keep up this tough act."

"Hehe, I'm just afraid you'll back out halfway!"

The two voices faded into the distance until a loud door slammed shut, leaving Huayue and Yingluo standing there in a daze.

"Sister Yingluo, what are they doing, meow?"

"I think...right..."

"Sigh, as expected of a mature woman, I don't understand."

Yingluo shrugged. Xihu hadn't seen Wang Yan for a long time, and she must miss him terribly. She decided to let them spend the rest of the time alone and not get involved.

"By the way, Huayue, it seems like Zhizhi succeeded yesterday. I heard from Miss Lily that Zhizhi slept in the master bedroom with Wang Yan yesterday, so she must have succeeded. Should we go in and ask her?"

"Hmm... Really, meow? Let's go take a look together, meow. But with Little Squeak's size, I'm afraid it'll be hard for her to handle Wang Yan, meow..."

---

After much effort, they finally managed to coax Xi Hu back to her previous docile state, nestled quietly in Wang Yan's arms with a blissful expression on her face.

"Are you still angry?"

"If I had said this earlier, who would have been angry with you? Besides, I wasn't angry; I just wanted to tease you."

Wang Yan rubbed Xi Hu's nose and laughed:

"Do you miss me?"

"I really want to, I want to every day, but I always use my hands, and it's never quite satisfying."

Thinking about her shameful state every night, Xi Hu found it hard to talk about. She turned over and pressed her body against Wang Yan, her two mounds pressing heavily against him.

"Actually, I was thinking of closing the teahouse and going directly to Taoyuan Township to find you."

Wang Yan lowered his head and kissed her lips, then smiled and said:

"Every quarter, Anju City will have merchant ships going to Taoyuan Township. If you miss me, you can just go with them. Xingming can then send you back afterwards. It's very convenient."

Upon hearing Wang Yan's suggestion, Xi Hu's eyes lit up; it was indeed a good idea.

"I'd like you to keep an eye out for things in Anju City for me. Thank you for your help."

Xi Hu snorted, ignoring him, and lay quietly for a while, holding Wang Yan's waist, before speaking softly:

"When are you leaving?"

"Probably tomorrow morning."

"oh......"

"What's wrong? Are you reluctant to part with it?"

"If I said I couldn't bear to leave, would you stay?"

"Hmm...that seems to be true."

"Fool."

Xi Hu pouted, reached out and tugged at Wang Yan's cheeks with both hands, and said angrily:

"You'd better make sure I can't get out of bed before you leave, or I won't let you off the hook!"

And so, Wang Yan obeyed Xi Hu's orders and got the woman drunk until she was somewhat delirious. Only then did he wipe the sweat from his brow. It has to be said that having many wives has this downside: you have to give your love to each one equally.

Xi Hu was indeed unable to descend. When Wang Yan left the next day, she was unable to go to the port to see him off. She entered Xing Ming's body with Ying Luo and the others, ending this trip and returning home once again.

With all the household troubles sent away, it's time to start preparing the last-mile logistics plan for Taoyuan Township.
