Chapter 476. Lily’s House
Two ride-hailing cars stopped in front of the large neighborhood gate. The Succubus in a long dress couldn’t wait to get out, her expression cold as she hurried into the community.
“Why the rush?”
When Ning Chu got out of the other car, she could only see Lily’s slender back.
She didn’t need to guess; she was sure Lily was thinking about some toy left out in the open and was rushing back to tidy it up before Qian Qian saw it.
In Qian Qian’s eyes, Lily was a mature, aloof ice queen of a senior. Her gaze towards Lily always carried a mysterious admiration. If she were discovered, the shock would be like the collapse of an idol, leaving her with an expression hard to imagine.
“What is Sister Lily in such a hurry for?” Qian Qian approached, asking curiously, “Aren’t you going to catch up?”
“Maybe her house is too messy, and she’s rushing to clean up?” Yan Xinya tried to cover for Lily. “It’s fine, I know where she lives… Do you want to buy some drinks to take upstairs?”
“I want cola!”
Ning Chu wasn’t eager to add to the fire, knowing that with time, Lily would eventually expose herself.
But by then, Qian Qian would probably end up getting pulled in…
She glanced at Qian Qian’s youthful face and figure, unable to imagine this seemingly innocent magical girl secretly eavesdropping on her.
This girl didn’t even recognize the most basic toys; she likely hadn’t had much exposure to adult items, but she was only sixteen or seventeen, never been in a relationship, and was at an age full of curiosity about love.
She definitely had the potential to be led astray…
“Wen Yang! Come help carry the drinks!”
“Coming.”
Wen Yang responded to the wolf girl’s summons, but slowly followed Ning Chu’s side, “Why not buy a box of mineral water too? It’s a hassle when there are many people needing hot water.”
“Okay, that works?”
In high heels, Ning Chu walked with an unprecedented elegance, linking arms with Wen Yang as they followed Yan Xinya and Lily ahead.
Her weight was fully on her toes, the pinch causing her feet to ache, and she furrowed her brows, complaining, “High heels are so uncomfortable; my feet hurt a bit…”
“I heard that too much wear can deform your toes.”
“Really?! I’m so scared!”
Wen Yang wasn’t sure where he got that information from, but after searching online, he confirmed, “Yeah, it’s true. That’s what it says on the internet.”
“Good thing I brought another pair of shoes.”
There was a small supermarket right by the community entrance, and by the time Ning Chu and Wen Yang strolled to the supermarket door, Yan Xinya had already walked out carrying a box of drinks.
“Here! You’re the only man here!” the wolf girl said with a mischievous smile. “We can’t let a bunch of weak girls carry drinks upstairs, can we?”
“Can’t really see where you’re weak…” Ning Chu muttered in defense of her boyfriend.
Wen Yang didn’t mind, taking the drinks: “Sure, you buy another box of mineral water, I’ll carry this.”
He was lugging a huge backpack, holding drinks and mineral water in both hands, yet he walked as if completely unburdened.
Qian Qian and Ning Chu also grabbed two bags of snacks in the supermarket, then under Yan Xinya’s lead, they headed to Lily’s house.
As soon as they exited the elevator, a corridor for leaving shoes greeted them.
Wen Yang had heard about Lily’s house from Ning Chu before, but still wore a surprised expression, curious as he looked around after putting down his things.
“Sister Lily really is a rich beauty! What a big house!”
Qian Qian wasn’t as reserved as Wen Yang, darting excitedly into the entrance and eagerly swapping her shoes for slippers. As she walked into the living room, another shout erupted: “Wow! Such a huge glass window! You can really see the beach!”
She took a couple of steps toward the floor-to-ceiling window, peeking down timidly: “Is this glass safe? Is it going to fall?”
“It won’t; it’s very safe.”
Lily said, shoving a broom into Qian Qian’s hands.
“Huh?”
“Clean up.” She turned to the rest of the group, pointing at the cleaning tools in the corner. “Big cleaning session.”
If it were just a couple of close friends, they would only need to tidy up the living room and one bedroom like last time, and Lily wouldn’t care about sleeping together with friends, but this time there were more people.
Aside from the master bedroom where her parents slept, every room needed cleaning.
Ning Chu had just taken off her high heels and was already walking a bit limpy. Hearing about the big cleaning, her face instantly turned sour: “Do we have to? My feet hurt; can I rest for a bit?”
“We just sat in the car for a few hours! Aren’t you tired?”
Lily shot her a glance, seeing her sitting on the couch rubbing her feet, her lips slightly curling up.
Serves you right for wearing high heels to show off your height~ Suffer a bit!
“I’m not tired.” Lily mercilessly tossed a cloth at her. “You wipe the table.”
Ning Chu sighed hopelessly, lifting her head to look at the others.
Qian Qian had already started sweeping, while Yan Xinya, always full of energy, had run to get a bucket of water without needing to be told. Meanwhile, it was Wen Yang’s first time at Lily’s house, and feeling awkward, he was unusually proactive in helping out.
Seeing herself being the only slacker, like a lazy fish, she could only swallow her complaints and picked up a cloth to wipe the coffee table.
But before she had wiped much, Lily leaned in closer, softly asking, “How high are your heels?”
“Huh? I think they’re about five centimeters.” Ning Chu mumbled, “I just thought they looked nice when I bought them, but they’re still a bit tall.”
The main issue was she had worn them so few times; she wasn’t quite used to it.
When she was little, she had snuck into her mother’s high heels and remembered tumbling badly.
“Oh~”
Lily nodded, walking straight to the entrance, opening the shoe cabinet, and pulling out a pair of heels that were six centimeters high.
Ning Chu watched this unfold and rolled her eyes.
It wasn’t her intention to compete with Lily; it was just that Lily always pushed her luck!
This Succubus had declared war, but she could understand. Why should Lily, having been a Succubus for twenty years, let her, who had been a man for twenty years, overtake her… Anyone would feel imbalanced.
Though Lily didn’t know she had once been a man, she did know Ning Chu had only developed for half a year.
“Hey! Ning Chu, what is this?”
Hearing Qian Qian’s question, her eyelids jumped, and she happily turned her head, ready to capitalize on the opportunity.
But upon focusing, she replied with disappointment on her face: “A robot vacuum; haven’t you seen one before?”
She had thought Lily’s secret was about to be exposed! Turns out it was just this?
“I mean, if there’s a robot vacuum, why am I still sweeping!”
Lily, who had hastily walked over, returned to her usual slow pace, releasing the breath she had been holding, and explained, “The battery is broken.”
“Oh, that makes sense~” Qian Qian sighed regretfully, honestly picking up the broom to continue sweeping. “I’m hungry…”
“I’m hungry too!”
Yan Xinya immediately chimed in, and Wen Yang turned his head over eagerly.
“We can eat lots…” Lily mumbled as she took out her phone. “I’ll order takeout for you.”
