"Let me carry it. Just leave it here."

As Xiaoyun and Leyan went to carry the groceries to the kitchen, the rest of them dropped the bag off by the door and sat down on the sofa.

"Where is Lily?" Yueyue curiously asked.

"She''s doing homework right now," Yuqi answered.

"Homework? I checked her break homework just yesterday. She already finished all of them."

Nami looked confusedly at Yuqi''s answer until she realized what Lily was doing.

"She''s playing on my computer!"

Nami rushed upstairs as a loud stepping sound traveled from the stairs to the door.

"Geez... how can a woman that''s about to go into labor can run that fast?" Kate quietly murmured to herself.

"Well, Nami hates people touching her computer... And besides, all of us are like that when you do it with Xiaoyun."

As Leyan walked away again into the kitchen carrying the last groceries, everyone sitting on the sofa began blushing after hearing her words.

"Ahem... I know this is a little awkward to ask, but do you two have any feelings for Xiaoyun?"

Hearing Yuqi''s question, the two instantly shook their head.

"Hell no. Just because having sex with him can make me stronger doesn''t mean I''m going to sacrifice myself for that. I-I still have some dignity."

All of the girls made a long, oh sound as they turned over to Anna.

"It''s against my religion. I can''t marry him." Anna argued.

"So if he is alone, you''ll marry him?" Yueyue pointed out the flaw in Anna''s reasoning.

Anna sat in silence, not knowing how to respond to her question until Kate stepped in.

"Why do you guys want us two to be with him so badly?"

Both Wuli and Shuli instantly turned toward Yueyue, who turned toward Yuqi as if she were the head of the operation.

"Um, well, the most secure relationship is a relationship on the bed... Since you two are so close to Xiaoyun, it''s too risky for you two to have someone else."

Hearing Yuqi''s answer, both of them rejected the idea.

"Is there really no other way for us to trust each other? Why does it have to be us marrying Xiaoyun?" Anna asked, raising her tone slightly.

"What would we gain from hurting Xiaoyun? Are we not friends?" Kate asked irritatedly.

"Yes, we are friends. But friends are just not enough. Anna, you know how much power rests in your position as the head of the arms factory. I know how much of those factory workers support you so much.

They probably support you over Xiaoyun if you ever decide to start a revolt. And you have enough guns and ammo to practically run the town over before anyone could react."

"But why would I——"

"It''s not about why. It''s about the fact that it is possible. I know Xiaoyun trusts you two, but I don''t.

I have to admit I was always suspicious of all three of you from the start. But since Tianci joined in fully, I trust her. You two have too much power that I can''t risk.

Yuqi paused for a second before resuming again.

"Yeah... it was a little too far. But since you apologize, we''re still friends, right?"

Anna helped Yuqi back up as if she didn''t take too much offense to it.

"Thank you... I won''t ever bring that up again."

When dinner finally came, the mood was finally back to normal as the tension between Yuqi and the two had dropped.

The four who knew what happened were a little confused initially, but they didn''t bring it up again as they assumed the three talked it out in the end.

As everyone finished dinner, it was finally waiting time, as the New Year was only five hours away.

"Man, there''s nothing to do... I''m so bored."

Lily complained as she rolled around on the sofa, with little regard for her surroundings.

"Too bad. Who told you to play on my computer without permission?"

Nami stopped Lily from rolling as she almost rolled down onto the ground.

"You guys want to watch the TV?" Shuli curiously asked as she grabbed the remote.

"Ugh, another movie?"

Lily rolled her eyes as she was sick of watching movies, even if they were different every time.

"Well, what else do you want to do?" Wuli asked as Nami carried her computer to the coffee table.

"I... Nevermind."

As Nami and Shuli chose the movies to put on the TV, the other three on the other side of the sofa were playing with their baby.

"Is it just me, or is Lianrong growing a little bit too fast?" Yuqi asked as she held Lianrong in her arms.

"I mean, Qiaolan is almost the same size as yours. Mom, what do you think?" Yueyue answered, with Qiaolan in her arms.

"It''s completely normal, okay? You guys were just the same when I had you... Okay, maybe they are maturing a little bit faster."

Leyan quickly changed her answer as Yongyi kept crawling around her arms.

"I wonder why I''m going to have a kid... Am I ever going to have a kid at all?"

Tianci looked a little down as she watched the three play with their babies. And when she looked on the other side of the sofa, Wuli, Shuli, and Nami were all already pregnant.

"Tianci, I''m sure you are going to have one... The doctor had already tested you and confirmed that you have a fully functioning one down there.

It''s only a matter of time, considering how many times this dummy cummed inside you every night. Even we are getting a little jealous."

Hearing Leyan''s words, Tianci''s face blushed even harder than normal. m _v,l-e _mp|y|r reader

"Ahem, oh look, the movie is on."

Xiaoyun quickly distracted everyone''s attention as Nami finally found a comedy to watch.

"Lost in Journey? Didn''t we already watch that?" Yuqi quickly pointed out.

"Yeah, but that was about ten years ago when we were still small. I''m sure you don''t remember anything from the film. I''m sure Kate and Anna are going to love it, and Lily, too."

Nami clicked start as the movie finally began playing, forcing everyone to watch it as she closed her laptop.
