Chapter 370. Major Crisis!
The lingerie store is located behind the bus stop outside the neighborhood. It’s not very big, but it’s been open for a long time; I vaguely remember it being here since middle school.
Ning Chu held Hei Dou’s hand, following their mother as they walked into the shop.
Just a small store along the street, the space isn’t large, and the walls are adorned with bras of various colors and styles that leave her dazzled.
Hei Dou had never seen such a scene before, her mouth agape, little head tilted back: “Wow~ So many~”
“A-Juan? What are you doing here?”
Inside the shop, there was only the shop owner sitting behind the counter playing with her phone. Seeing their mother, she stood up in surprise.
“I’m helping my daughter buy some bras.” Their mother smiled back at Ning Chu and Hei Dou.
“Daughter?”
The shopkeeper was somewhat familiar with their mother but had never heard about the two daughters; she only knew she had two sons.
“Didn’t I mention it before?”
Their mother covered her mouth and smiled, pretending to be confused.
“Really didn’t.” The shopkeeper turned to Ning Chu, her eyes lighting up, “What a pretty little beauty! This little one is very cute too~”
“Right? She’s definitely mine.”
Ning Chu silently rolled her eyes at the back of her mother’s head.
She’s fine, probably inherited her mother’s good genes, but what does Hei Dou have to do with their mother? She’s cute because her cat dad and cat mom did well.
Having been a woman for some time now, she no longer harbored the innocent shyness about underwear; she walked over and calmly examined the bras hanging on the walls.
Though she liked black, the black lace bras didn’t fit her aesthetic, so she glanced a few times before moving on to other styles.
The succubus instinctively noticed some seductive lingerie in the corner.
Just a glimpse made her cheeks blush lightly, and feeling shocked, she quickly averted her gaze.
She couldn’t afford such an expensive, one-time-use boost to attack power, nor would she dare to buy it.
“Ning Chu, come over and measure your size.”
“Oh~”
Ning Chu obediently walked over, lifting her arms like a doll so the shopkeeper could measure her.
She had no concept of size, but judging by the shopkeeper’s gasps, it must be quite extraordinary.
“You’re between a B and a C cup, better wear C for a little looser and comfort.” The shopkeeper offered her professional opinion and whispered, “What a tiny waist…”
“Mm.”
So she still didn’t reach the average level of a succubus!
But wearing a C, that makes her a C!
“You go pick a few sets you like; I’ll help Ning Xin choose.”
Ning Chu frowned, feeling troubled. Most of the bras had lace borders, but she had no interest in lace. After struggling for a while, she asked her mother for help.
“Mom, can you just pick a few sets for me? As long as they’re comfortable.”
“Alright.”
She feared her mom would pull a prank, so even letting her choose, she stayed close behind, watching like a hawk.
But after just a few steps, her phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.
At this hour, Wen Yang should be catching up on sleep; could it be Zhang Shaoqing?
Quickly running through her mind, Ning Chu took out her phone to find it was a message from an old high school classmate.
“Ning Chu, we’ve booked a class reunion for the evening after tomorrow, are you coming? Fifty per person, with excess refunded.”
“Not going.”
“The old teacher will come too.”
“Forget it.”
Ning Chu typed her rejection and, when she looked up, saw her mother had already picked her bras and was chatting with the shopkeeper at the counter.
She leaned in to take a peek.
Luckily, her mother knew to maintain some ladylike image and didn’t try to stuff her with a revealing piece…
Why did she feel a tad disappointed?
“Mom! This one looks good!”
Hei Dou’s voice suddenly rang out from the side. Ning Chu turned to see the kitten holding a tank top printed with a cute white cat head, excitedly calling, “Buy this!”
“Okay, set it aside. Any others you like?”
“Is there a cat one?”
The shopkeeper saw Hei Dou’s lively and adorable demeanor and stepped forward, affectionately ruffling her hair: “Let me help you find some.”
“Thank you, sister~”
“Such a sweet mouth! How about I give you a pair of socks too?”
Ning Chu’s corner of her mouth twitched. When did this cat get such high emotional intelligence?!
Definitely taught by their mother.
She quietly complained in her heart but then heard footsteps at the entrance and turned, instinctively drawn to the source.
Wow! What a gorgeous girl!
Is she a succubus too?!
Ning Chu sized her up briefly but realized it was quite rude, so she smiled and nodded, quickly shifting her gaze away.
That girl looked married, even though she seemed barely in her twenties, but she exuded the charm of a mature woman.
She had pretty peach blossom eyes, but with longer and more upturned outer corners, resembling a fox. The corner of her eye was adorned with a beauty mark, enhancing her allure.
The girl’s face had a hint of baby fat, and she sported a sweet dimple when she smiled. Her figure was curvy but not bulky, possessing a captivating charm with every gesture. Her bust was even bigger than Ning Chu’s at present.
Wow! So beautiful! Even prettier than Lily, that succubus!
Whether it was her stunning looks or that gentle smile, the girl left Ning Chu with an incredibly pleasant impression.
Should she go make a friend later?
But then she suddenly realized, a chill ran down her back, and she took a step back, cautiously eyeing the tempting woman in front of her.
She should always remain vigilant around such beautiful girls, yet she nearly succumbed just now.
That allure! If it were Wen Yang… he surely wouldn’t be able to resist!
Since arriving in this world, this was probably the most sense of crisis she had felt from a woman!
Definitely a supporting character! She looked rather spoiled, probably a rich lady with a short story plotline!
Need to check the novels once she gets home!
Ning Chu watched the girl warily, already brainstorming how to trick her into revealing her name.
The girl sensed her wariness and looked at her with a puzzled expression but didn’t think much of it, turning her gaze back to the bras on the wall.
“Hello, you’re very beautiful~”
In a moment of distraction, Hei Dou had snuck over, gazing up at the girl, her tone laced with envy.
Not good, has Hei Dou already fallen under her spell?!
That charm appeals to both genders! She’s not even any prettier than me!
Ning Chu’s heart raced, feeling even more threatened.
From now on, she needs to keep Wen Yang away from this area. If that vixen actively flirts with him, she couldn’t even imagine the scene!
“Hmm?” The girl looked down, smiling as she ruffled Hei Dou’s little head, “Little friend, what’s your name?”
“Hei, no wait, Ning Xin!” Hei Dou purred, enjoying the affection, narrowing her eyes and making a rumbling noise, “What’s your name, sister? I have a very handsome brother~”
“I’m married with two kids.”
“Hm, my name’s An Han.”
Upon hearing that name, Ning Chu’s brain raced through the characters she wrote in her works.
It took until her CPU nearly overheated, but she couldn’t recall writing about such a character.
It shouldn’t be so!
