Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

"Kate, you're in a sorority before?" Anna asked in shock.

"Mhm..."

Kate didn't elaborate any further as she coldly looked out the window before exiting the car as they arrived back at home.

"Welcome back!"

As Leyan opened the garage door, she quickly noticed the awkward atmosphere between the three of them.

"Anna, what happened to the two of them?"

"I-I don't know. They just started arguing, and now they are mad at each other." Anna murmured, looking a little scared.

Leyan thought of breaking the ice between the two of them, but quickly fell into silence as they all walked towards the kitchen.

A short dinner later...

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.

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.

"Xiaoyun, what happened between the two of you?" Yuqi curiously asked.

"You can ask her yourself."

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.

"Yuqi, why did she say?" Leyan asked.

"It's nothing that important. Let's all just enjoy watching the TV."

Despite Yuqi's answer, none of Xiaoyun's wives brought it. They clearly felt something was off, but couldn't pinpoint where.

"Ahem, let's go take a shower... Anna, Xiaoyun, can you two stay behind and watch the babies?"

"Sure."

All eight of them, including Lily, headed upstairs, leaving the two of them remaining in the living room with the TV still playing.

"Xiaoyun, you don't actually hate Kate, right?" Anna asked, her face full of worry on display for her friend.

"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?"

"Of course not." Anna instantly replied.

"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."

Although it was a compliment, Anna couldn't help but feel he was throwing shade at her 'boringness.'

"Daddy! C-Can I have the car?" Lianrong asked as she sat on the floor with her siblings.

"Vroom-vroom! Here it is."

Watching Xiaoyun playing with the babies, Anna's mind started to feel more and more worried for some reason.

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.

"Anna, you okay?" Xiaoyun asked, noticing her staring at the wall blankly.

"I-I'm fine... Xiaoyun, do you think I-I'm boring?" Anna suddenly asked, her face looking a little genuinely scared.

"What makes you think that? Did Kate's word influence you that much? I already told you not to listen to her."

"I know..."

Anna's worry had only gotten worse as Xiaoyun's answer didn't address the question she had asked.

"M-Miss Anna! C-Can you help me drive this car?" Yongyi quietly asked as he walked all the way to her.

"O-Of course."

As she began helping Yongyi move his toy car across the floor, her mind was still fixated by how Xiaoyun avoided the question completely.

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.

"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."

The more Kate compared herself to others, the more she began to realize how disadvantaged a situation she was in.

"Anna? You there? Anna!"

"Ah! S-Sorry."

Xiaoyun's loud noise finally snapped her back into reality as her hand had long driven the car underneath the sofa.

"You should go to sleep early today. You look a little tired... I'll take care of the babies."

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.

"Come on, Yongyi, let's drive the cars together with your sisters."

Hearing his happy tone with the kids, it finally became the final nail in the coffin as she entered the bathroom.

"Yuqi, what did Kate tell you when you went upstairs?" Leyan curiously asked as they began heading towards Kate's room.

"She just told me not to worry and make you guys come upstairs," Yuqi answered as Leyan knocked on the door.

"Come in."

As soon as all nine of them entered her room, they immediately surrounded Kate in the middle.

"Kate, what happened between you and Xiaoyun when you guys headed to Anna's workplace?" Leyan curiously asked.

"Nothing. We just toured around her factory... Everyone here is going to keep this secret for me, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"I made a bet with Xiaoyun... He's going to have sex with her in public and creampie her."

"You serious? That's some crazy bet for you to make." Nami murmured, her mind a little blown away like everyone else.

"There's no way Anna would do that. She's way too religious for that." Wuli commented, with Shuli nodding in agreement.

At the same time, both Leyan's and Yueyue's faces flushed as memories from a few weeks ago flooded in.

"Well, he accepted the bet... Also, I'm only acting earlier. You guys don't need to take things between me and Xiaoyun seriously."

Everyone nodded before they began exiting her room, heading to the bathroom to take a shower for the night.

"What's Xiaoyun's plan anyway? How are you two getting mad at each other going to help him win the bet?"

Yuqi curiously asked as they began to take their clothes off one by one, leaving them in the laundry basket.

"I don't know. I'm just playing along with him... You'll need to ask him about it afterward."

"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."

Nami's sudden mention immediately intrigued everyone as they all began heading towards the shower area.

"What is he trying to do exactly?" Tianci curiously asked, her mind unable to wrap any of this at all.

"Think about it. How would you describe the difference between Anna and Kate? Like, just off their personality?"

"Um... Kate is more open?"

"Bingo. Imagine all the kids downstairs. She's the only person down there with no kids to call her own.

She doesn't plan to get pregnant either, thanks to her job, and she doesn't bring anything exciting to Xiaoyun to the table.

Now you tell me, how worried would you be? Being easily replaceable. Not to mention he has the rest of us."

Tianci slowly nodded, her mind starting to understand Nami's point. She quietly looked down at her belly as she had already secured her spot.

"Isn't this a little too far?" Shuli quietly asked.

"It's fine... Besides, don't you guys want Anna to be more open? Rather than be all nervous on the bed when we see each other naked?" Kate questioned.

"I guess..."

"Why does it feel like it might backfire? What if Anna really overthinks it and actually quits her job to be with Xiaoyun?" Wuli quietly murmured.

"Not in a million years. She would rather be all crazy in bed for him than quit her job." Kate instantly responded.

"Ahem, let's just say this hypothetically works and they go outside to have sex, should we follow them and watch——"

Before Wuli could finish her question, the bathroom door was opened. Within seconds, everyone turned their attention to Nami and Kate.

"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.

"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.

"Scared? I dare him to divorce me publicly."

"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.

"Hell no. I'll rather leave than have a baby... I already let him use my body however he wanted. He should be thankful."

"All of us have already done that." Wuli pointed out.

"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.

"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.

"Okay..."

"Oh, hey Anna, you taking a shower?" Shuli asked, acting as if she had just noticed her walking towards the shower area.

"Y-Yeah... What are you guys talking about?"

"Just woman stuff... Why do you look so nervous? You okay?"

'I'm fine."

Anna quickly returned to normal as she went to one of the showerheads before the conversation resumed.
