They just started arguing, and now they are mad at each other.\" Anna murmured, looking a little scared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leyan thought of breaking the ice between the two of them, but quickly fell into silence as they all walked towards the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short dinner later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone could feel the sharp divide between Xiaoyun and Kate at this point as they didn’t talk to each other a single time during dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the girls sat in the living room watching the TV, Kate was the first one to leave as she headed back into her room upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, what happened between the two of you?\" Yuqi curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can ask her yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds, Yuqi herself headed upstairs to have a little talk with Kate. By the time she came back down, everyone else was a little curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuqi, why did she say?\" Leyan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing that important. Let’s all just enjoy watching the TV.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Yuqi’s answer, none of Xiaoyun’s wives brought it. They clearly felt something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint where.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, let’s go take a shower... Anna, Xiaoyun, can you two stay behind and watch the babies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eight of them, including Lily, headed upstairs, leaving the two of them remaining in the living room with the TV still playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, you don’t actually hate Kate, right?\" Anna asked, her face full of worry on display for her friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would I hate her? She’s the one who randomly decided to call me an outsider... Babe, you won’t be like her, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not.\" Anna instantly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good... Don’t learn to be like her. I like the way you are. Being a traditional girl is much better than someone who’s all crazy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was a compliment, Anna couldn’t help but feel he was throwing shade at her ’boringness.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy! C-Can I have the car?\" Lianrong asked as she sat on the floor with her siblings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vroom-vroom! Here it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Xiaoyun playing with the babies, Anna’s mind started to feel more and more worried for some reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind had already imagined herself being tied down to a traditional family, forced to leave her job, and be a stay-at-home mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anna, you okay?\" Xiaoyun asked, noticing her staring at the wall blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I’m fine... Xiaoyun, do you think I-I’m boring?\" Anna suddenly asked, her face looking a little genuinely scared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What makes you think that? Did Kate’s word influence you that much? I already told you not to listen to her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna’s worry had only gotten worse as Xiaoyun’s answer didn’t address the question she had asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"M-Miss Anna! C-Can you help me drive this car?\" Yongyi quietly asked as he walked all the way to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"O-Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she began helping Yongyi move his toy car across the floor, her mind was still fixated by how Xiaoyun avoided the question completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just couldn’t get over the fact that he didn’t just say a simple no. At the same time, seeing the babies in front of her started to scare her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am I really going to be dumped? I... I don’t even have a kid with him. A-And his other wives are so willing to do anything with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Kate compared herself to others, the more she began to realize how disadvantaged a situation she was in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anna? You there? Anna!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! S-Sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun’s loud noise finally snapped her back into reality as her hand had long driven the car underneath the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should go to sleep early today. You look a little tired... I’ll take care of the babies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching him go underneath the sofa to get Yongyi’s car back out, Anna’s mind was starting to get a little conflicted as she began heading towards the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, Yongyi, let’s drive the cars together with your sisters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his happy tone with the kids, it finally became the final nail in the coffin as she entered the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuqi, what did Kate tell you when you went upstairs?\" Leyan curiously asked as they began heading towards Kate’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She just told me not to worry and make you guys come upstairs,\" Yuqi answered as Leyan knocked on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as all nine of them entered her room, they immediately surrounded Kate in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kate, what happened between you and Xiaoyun when you guys headed to Anna’s workplace?\" Leyan curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing. We just toured around her factory... Everyone here is going to keep this secret for me, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I made a bet with Xiaoyun... He’s going to have sex with her in public and creampie her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You serious? That’s some crazy bet for you to make.\" Nami murmured, her mind a little blown away like everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no way Anna would do that. She’s way too religious for that.\" Wuli commented, with Shuli nodding in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, both Leyan’s and Yueyue’s faces flushed as memories from a few weeks ago flooded in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, he accepted the bet... Also, I’m only acting earlier. You guys don’t need to take things between me and Xiaoyun seriously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded before they began exiting her room, heading to the bathroom to take a shower for the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s Xiaoyun’s plan anyway? How are you two getting mad at each other going to help him win the bet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi curiously asked as they began to take their clothes off one by one, leaving them in the laundry basket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know. I’m just playing along with him... You’ll need to ask him about it afterward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know what he’s trying to do... But we need to add more fuel to the fire if we want to see some action.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami’s sudden mention immediately intrigued everyone as they all began heading towards the shower area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is he trying to do?\" Tianci curiously asked, her mind unable to wrap any of this at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think about it. How would you describe the difference between Anna and Kate? Like, just off their personality?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um... Kate is more open?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bingo. Imagine all the kids downstairs. She’s the only person down there with no kids to call her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She doesn’t plan to get pregnant either, thanks to her job, and she doesn’t bring anything exciting to Xiaoyun to the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now you tell me, how worried would you be? Being easily replaceable. Not to mention he has the rest of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianci slowly nodded, her mind starting to understand Nami’s point. She quietly looked down at her belly as she already secured her spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nami, you really are a genius. How did you even figure his intention just off these little details?\" Yueyue curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Drama shows really improve your thinking. It’s not for nothing.\" Nami answered, her face looking more and more confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does it feel like it might backfire? What if Anna really overthinks it and actually quits her job to be with Xiaoyun?\" Shuli quietly murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not in a million years. She would rather be all crazy in bed for him than quit her job.\" Kate instantly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, let’s just say this hypothically works and they go outside to have sex, should we follow them and watch——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Wuli could finish her question, the bathroom door was opened. Within seconds, everyone turned their attention to Nami and Kate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guys, how could we make it more exciting for our husbands? It feels like he’s starting to get a little bored with us on the bed.\" Nami murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He likes it or not, he’ll never leave us behind with us having his baby... But Kate, you should be a little scared.\" Leyan commented next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scared? I dare him to divorce me publicly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kate, don’t say that... Why not just have a baby like the rest of us? It’s not that big of a deal.\" Yuqi pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hell no. I’ll rather leave than have a baby... I already let him use my body however he wanted. He should be thankful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All of us have already done that.\" Wuli pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I’m his bodyguard. He can’t ditch me no matter what he does. I’m always going to be there with him.\" Kate argued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lily, listen to me. When you get old enough to have a baby, do it right away, okay? It’s the only way to trap Xiaoyun in your palm.\" Leyan whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, hey Anna, you taking a shower?\" Shuli asked, acting as if she had just noticed her walking towards the shower area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yeah... What are you guys talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just woman stuff... Why do you look so nervous? You okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna quickly retuned back to normal as she went to one of the showerhead before the conversation resumed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1534,"2026-06-10T06:59:53.365Z",1,"novelbin.me","3653c6f73e977a7e385f075a73841202d5333abefa46dc3d5a9b4ba89ff00ccb","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-657","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-608",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
