Chapter 372. Two-Faced
There was a seductively alluring fox near the house, more enticing than a Succubus and captivating both men and women!
And she wasn’t even a minor character; her actions were completely unpredictable.
After hanging up the phone with Wen Yang, Ning Chu gloomily propped her feet up on the coffee table, cradling a sofa pillow, her expression one of deep worry.
For the first time, she encountered a woman who left her feeling utterly powerless…
In every aspect—figure, height, and aura—she was completely outmatched, save for looks, which were maybe on par!
Even when she exchanged glances with An Han, she couldn’t help but feel a spark of affection, almost like magic!
Her mother and Hei Dou returned and glanced at the distressed Ning Chu on the sofa.
“What’s wrong? You look so unhappy?”
“It’s nothing.”
“Still thinking about that girl from earlier?” her mother teased, setting the dishes on the table, “Seems she moved here last year. Is this the first time you’re seeing her?”
“You know her?”
“Put your feet down, young lady! You’re lacking any semblance of a proper lady! Acting all boisterous like a man.”
“Oh~”
Recalling An Han’s cute and charming demeanor, Ning Chu obediently placed her feet down from the coffee table.
How could a girl like her, a late bloomer, ever compete with a factory-original girl like that?
Muttering to herself, she got up and followed her mother into the kitchen: “Mom, you’ve interacted with An Han before? I’ve never met her.”
“Of course! We’ve even played Mahjong together,” her mother replied with a smile, nodding. “I hear she’s a civil servant, has a stable job, and her husband is quite wealthy and handsome.”
“A rich family lady~”
“And look at you, you brought back a poor boy instead.”
Ning Chu huffed, “Well, Grandpa is wealthy too! And you’re still the daughter of a wealthy family, and yet you ended up with a poor boy and got fooled.”
Her mother glared, raising her hand to hit her, causing her to back away quickly and escape the kitchen.
This woman is just unreasonable!
Clearly, it was you who started the teasing!
She swiftly changed the subject: “Mom, make extra for lunch. I have a classmate coming over.”
Her mother paused, looking at her with a strange expression and inspecting her up and down: “Sure, you’re in good health?”
“Not that! It’s just a classmate!” Ning Chu’s face turned red with anger, “How could I possibly invite two?!”
Although she did feel uncomfortable every day without some excitement, her thoughts were still within the realm of normalcy, not like those Succubi who were simply obsessed with pleasure and swapped partners more often than changing clothes!
Being involved with two boys would be way too terrifying!
She certainly didn’t plan to reenact the plot of those tricky stories…
“I didn’t say you were inviting two; why are you getting all worked up?” Seeing her daughter angry, her mother mumbled while preparing the ingredients.
“I think I’ll eat out with them! To avoid you thinking too much.”
“Go ahead, go ahead. I’m too lazy to cook for your little boyfriend.”
Her mother paused and asked, “Do you need a card? It’s on the shoe cabinet wallet.”
“No need!”
Ning Chu angrily turned and left the kitchen.
Though she knew her mother was joking, there was probably an element of probing regarding her personal life.
After all, there were countless Succubi who were caught up in desires and behaved outrageously, while her mother clearly had a more conservative mindset among them.
“Sis, where are you going?”
Hei Dou, who was watching TV, immediately trotted over when he saw Ning Chu standing by the entrance: “Sis! Want some beef jerky? Mom just bought it for me!”
“Oh~”
Ning Chu put on her shoes and raised her head to open her mouth.
“It’s really hard, you have to suck on it.”
“Mm.” She bit into a piece of beef jerky and, speaking a bit muffled, asked Hei Dou, “When do you start going to tutoring?”
“In a week, the teacher went back for the New Year~”
“Don’t forget to do your homework at home, and I’ll buy you a sausage when I come back.”
“Okay~”
Such a cute little brother. Who knows which man will charm him away in the future…
Ning Chu sighed with worry. Although she hadn’t spent a long time with Hei Dou, she had fully embraced him as her little brother.
She had to keep an eye on him; no early romance allowed! No dating until after college!
Stepping outside, she arrived at the subway station not far from her complex. After a brief wait, she spotted two figures coming from the train.
Zhang Shaoqing had his hands shoved deep into his pockets, slightly hunched, looking rather laid-back with a roguish grin on his face, obviously a little delinquent.
Wen Yang was the complete opposite, always wearing a warm smile, like a gentle breeze soothing the soul. Just seeing him lifted Ning Chu’s spirits.
When he spotted the Little Demoness, his smile grew even softer, his eyes brimming with possessiveness and affection.
“Wen Yang!”
Ning Chu jogged over, as usual, wrapping her arms around Wen Yang’s arm, looking up at his handsome face. She tiptoed and whispered, “There’s a super seductive bad woman near my house~”
“Huh?”
“She’s so pretty! Better looking than me and Lily, even better than stars on TV! Even after having a child, her figure is amazing~ Her skin looks like it’s been filtered! She even has the allure of a vixen; I can’t help but like her! I almost didn’t react fast enough!”
“Is it really that outrageous?”
“Absolutely! I’m sooooo envious~”
When will she carry that kind of charm? She could totally keep Wen Yang wrapped around her finger!
She subconsciously murmured and then realized, “You better watch out! Don’t let her set her sights on you! But she probably wouldn’t be interested in you anyway~”
Wen Yang chuckled, shaking his head: “Alright, got it.”
Feeling a strange look on her, Ning Chu froze for a moment, her ears turning red in an instant. She placed her feet down, tucked her hair behind her ear, and took a step back to create some distance from Wen Yang.
Being so close to him in front of her roommates was still quite awkward!
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat nearby and see if there are any day jobs available.” She shoved her hands into her coat pockets, “There’s a fast-food place nearby that I’ve been eating at since I was little; it tastes pretty good~”
“I’m good with anything.” Zhang Shaoqing yawned, “Where did you two go last night? You just got back early this morning.”
“Do I need to report to you about where I go?”
“No, but it’s a bit much to just leave me behind without a word!”
Ning Chu disdainfully shot him a glance: “Hurry up and find a job, then go stay in a hotel! You’re just a hindrance!”
“We’re brothers~” Zhang Shaoqing threw his arm around Wen Yang’s neck, grinning cheekily, “We’ve lived together in college for half a year; where’s the hindrance in that?”
Wen Yang pushed his hand away with a look of disdain.
Truly two-faced! Great at playing clueless!
If it weren’t for her determination to stop dating, Ning Chu would have kicked him to sleep under the bridge by now!
