When the two of them drove back to Luoping, it was only noon.
"You don't have to drive back to Huayi's place. Our house finish renovating already." Yueyue pointed out.
"That's nice..."
As the car continued driving forward, Yueyue suddenly grabbed the wheel before dragging it to the right.
"Xiaoyun! What the fuck are you thinking of? You're still driving!"
"Sorry."
Xiaoyun imdiately apologized, shifting his attention back to the road as he almost drove onto the curb.
After a short drive, the two of them finally arrived back at ho as Xiaoyun parked his car inside the garage.
"Xiaoyun, are you okay? Are you worried about Yezi or sothing?" Yueyue asked as Xiaoyun closed the garage door.
"I was just thinking about so administrative stuff. Sorry for making you worried."
The answer didn't satisfy Yueyue at all, as she could tell sothing was still on his mind. But she couldn't pressure him any further.
"Whatever."
As the two of them opened the living room door, Xiaoyun imdiately noticed the changes.
There was now an actual entryway right before the front door, allowing for a shoe rack to store the increasing number of shoes in the house.
The living room itself had also expanded, taking spaces directly from the kitchen to make room for the bigger sofa and bigger TV.
"Where is everyone?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.
"They went shopping since today is Sunday... Are you hungry? I can go cook you sothing."
"Sure."
"What kind of food do you want?"
"Um..."
As the two of them headed towards the kitchen, Xiaoyun was once again astonished by the change inside.
The fridge now had a standalone freezer, once again expanded bigger than before as it expanded towards the backyard.
Now, it has enough space for three people to cook at once, allowing multiple people to prep the ingredients and cook at once.
More importantly, the table itself has changed from a rectangular table to a circle with a spinning glass, the sa one he often sees in restaurants.
There was even a kid's table next to the main table. But it was much smaller and simpler, as it retained the old rectangular shape.
"God damn, who designed this kitchen?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he started looking all over the area.
"Mom was the one who designed this. She said she was tired of cooking and putting it on multiple plates for other people to reach.
So, the best idea she could co up with was to allow everyone to spin the food to themselves. Problem solved."
"I guess... Actually, I'll just cook myself. You can go do whatever."
As Xiaoyun opened the fridge to get so ingredients out, it was still the old one in the past.
"Not like I have anything else to do."
After looking for a bit, Xiaoyun got a little lazy, closing the fridge before flat-out creating a piece of bread out of thin air.
"Okay, I'm full... How about you just give a tour of the house?"
"Sure."
As Yueyue brought him toward the guest hallway, he was once again surprised by its size.
It had drastically expanded towards the side of what used to be the house's fence, making him realize that the 'house' he brought was now actually just a large mansion.
Rows of bedrooms were before him, totaling eight bedrooms and two bathrooms next to each other.
"I actually designed this part. Five of the bedrooms are ant for the kids when they have bunk beds in the future.
For now, we have just put baby cribs in them... The three rooms are actual guest bedrooms."
Xiaoyun nodded as Yueyue guided him past the guest hallway and into a new staircase upstairs.
"There are two staircases in the house, so we don't have room around the living room to get into the guest bedroom."
"Make sense."
As the two of them walked upstairs, Xiaoyun imdiately noticed the layout of the second floor had once again been revamped.
"Yuqi designed this part of the house... She said sotis we need a little space, but sotis we are too separated from each other.
So, she created two rows of rooms. On the left and in front of us is a room for each of us—except for Wuli and Shuli, who decided to have one room.
And on the right, there are two rooms... One is your bedroom, and the other is the bathroom."
As Yueyue pointed at the first room on the right, her face started to blush as she pushed Xiaoyun to the next room.
"W-We can go into this room later. It's not important right now... Anyway, let's go check out the bathroom."
As Yueyue opened the door, Xiaoyun imdiately noticed an entire laundry machine section with another door ahead of them.
"We moved the laundry machine here so we don't have to carry our dirty clothes up and down the stairs constantly."
Opening the next door, they were finally inside the bathroom, which had an interior layout almost the sa as the old one.
On the left were the sinks with the long mirror and countertop, and behind them were the four toilet stalls next to each other, fully enclosed with no gaps.
"We made a few adjustnts, especially having the stalls fully closed to avoid bad slls and hiding them behind the sink wall.
So when we take a shower together or have decided to bath together, we won't be able to see it directly."
Xiaoyun nodded as he opened one of the stalls, but he didn't see much difference inside.
After following her to the shower area, he quickly noticed what Yueyue was talking about earlier.
The only other thing he could see in the shower area was the giant bathtub across from them.
Two walls separated them just far enough that they couldn't see either side unless they walked over to the middle of the room.
"That's pretty much it for the bathroom... Oh, and we made a little change in the bathtub so it can accommodate all of us."
As the two of them walked out of the bathroom, Yueyue showed zero interest in showing him his bedroom as she dragged him downstairs.
"Let's go check the other rooms. I'm sure you're going to be stunned by it."
After walking down the stairs straight to the guest room, they were able to skip past most of the living room and into the kitchen again.
Walking down the kitchen, Xiaoyun quickly noticed that the small hallway that used to be between the kitchen and backyard now has two doors rather than just one.
"Here is the gym. It's still the sa as before, and the other door is just a small storage room."
The two quickly checked out the two rooms before finally arriving at the backyard.
To Xiaoyun's surprise, the backyard hasn't shrunk at all. Instead, it has just expanded further outward with the sa tall fences.
"Mom said she doesn't really have ti to take care of the garden, so she decided just to convert it into a full park.
Oh, and the hot tub and the swimming pool are still in the sa place. And there's a gazebo at the end here of the park."
As the two of them walked in the park, Xiaoyun felt a little bit of peace from the natural beauty.
"That's pretty much all the changes to the house. So what do you think of it?" Yueyue curiously asked.
Looking at the house from a distance, Xiaoyun could definitely feel the width and the length expanding.
"I think I like it... But isn't it a little bit too big?"
"Too big? You have nine wives and almost seven kids. Do you think we can live in a small house?"
"I guess you're right."

After standing at the gazebo for a while, the two finally headed back into the house.
"Are they still shopping?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as they had been touring the house for almost half an hour now.
"I don't know how long they are going to take——"
Just as Yueyue was about to finish answering back, the door was pushed open.
"Finally back ho——Xiaoyun!"
Within seconds, all the girls dropped their bags aside and ran up to him for a hug.
After what felt like forever, he finally finished hugging them one by one.
"You know how worried we were when we heard you're in Zhaoqing?" Leyan scolded.
"My bad."
"Ahem, Xiaoyun, you might want to take a shower first," Yuqi suddenly said.
As Xiaoyun raised his armpit, he imdiately realized what she was talking about.
"I'll be right back."
Seeing him rushing upstairs and almost tripping on his face, all of the girls laughed as they started heading back to bring their bags inside.
"Shuli, Wuli, you don't need to carry the bags. We'll unload the stuff from the car. Just hold onto your baby first."
The two didn't reject their help, opting to take care of the other kids and nudging them toward the living room instead of standing in the entryway.
