Chapter 496. Succubus Mother and Daughter
“I want to sleep with my sister!”
“No way! Your sister is sleeping with Wen Yang; are you going to make him sleep on the couch?”
Mom was carrying a bundle of bedding as she walked out of the guest bedroom, with Hei Dou trailing behind her, looking worried and desperate.
“The bed is so big! We could all sleep together without it being cramped~”
Sure, there wouldn’t be any problem with three people on that double bed, but one of them was a succubus who had tasted the pleasures of men, and the other was a young firebrand.
Even a fool knew what would happen if they slept together at night.
Mom glanced back at Hei Dou, “No.”
“Why not~?”
“What are you thinking? Don’t think I don’t know? You can’t stay up all night on your phone and then expect your sister to order takeout for you!” Mom sighed exasperatedly, “Just feel your little belly—look how chubby you’ve gotten!”
Hei Dou drooped her cat ears and looked down at her slightly bulging stomach, muttering sheepishly, “Not that bad…”
“You have classes tomorrow. You need to be in bed before ten.”
“But my sister just came back! I wanna hang out with her at night!”
“No!”
Watching the noisy mother-daughter duo enter the master bedroom, Ning Chu couldn’t help but laugh, “That Hei Dou is really going to drive my mom crazy one day.”
Good thing she wasn’t planning on having kids; otherwise, once Hei Dou got a bit older, Mom would have to start from scratch again, and the house would be nothing but chaos, with no peace whatsoever.
It’s not that she was scared; she just wanted to lighten her mother’s load~
Wen Yang, who was beside her, finished activating his phone and handed it to Ning Chu, “Here, it’s all set up.”
“Be careful when playing with it; dropping it once could cost a few thousand to repair.”
“I won’t! And it’s not that easy to break~” Ning Chu happily took the phone and started fiddling with it, liking it more and more, decisively abandoning her old phone, “I’ll just keep the old one as a backup. If yours breaks, you can still use mine.”
“Do you not hate it anymore?”
“I hate my dad, not the phone.” She stated boldly, “How can I just take my anger out on it? The poor thing doesn’t deserve that!”
Wen Yang suspiciously mused that if he gave Ning Chu a bit more money, she might actually come to accept that father of hers.
He hesitated and whispered, “I can’t shake the feeling that your mom might be intentionally talking bad about your uncle during dinner?”
“Really?” Ning Chu shook her head dismissively, “Let her say what she wants; what does it have to do with me?”
She actually understood her mother: “And that guy hasn’t been in touch for so long. What’s wrong with Mom complaining a bit?”
“True.”
Just then, their mom came out of the master bedroom, glancing at the two whispering on the couch, “Are you leaving tomorrow? What time is your ticket?”
“Heading out tomorrow evening.”
“You decide to take leave without coming back early; aren’t you worried about falling behind in your studies?” She shot Ning Chu a disapproving look and rambled on as she walked back into the guest room, “I’ll have to change the bed linens for you; you two can just go stay elsewhere tonight!”
Ning Chu’s eyes lit up at this, and she eagerly dashed to the bedroom door, peeking in, “Mom? So, I’m really staying out? What about your membership card…?”
“Is that a dare?” Mom grabbed a pillow and tossed it at her face, “Stay home like a good girl!”
“But you said we could stay out…”
Staying out is so nice~ With Mom’s membership card, there would be discounts, and at night, they could do whatever without worrying about being too loud and disturbing others.
She clutched the pillow, looking helplessly at her mother who was changing the bedding, “Mom, do we really need to change the sheets?”
“If you two dirty them, Ning Xin will be able to smell it.”
“That’s not…” Ning Chu felt heat rush to her face, flustered as she retorted, “There’s no way I’d misbehave at home?!”
Not fully trusting her, Mom shot her a skeptical glance and continued changing the bed linens.
It’s not that she didn’t trust her daughter; she just didn’t have confidence in succubi.
Especially not one that had tasted the experience—she knew very well coming from that age group.
“Keep it down; Ning Xin’s ears are pretty good too.”
“……”
Having quickly changed the sheets, Mom sat at the end of the bed and turned to her daughter, asking, “Who are you going to stay with after the divorce?”
“???”
Ning Chu was momentarily stunned.
Mom sighed sorrowfully, “Why not stick with me, and let your brother stay with him? Your brother is going to need money for his wedding, and I can’t afford that unless I sell the house.”
“After all these years of raising you, he just comes back to reap the rewards…”
Seeing her mother lamenting, Ning Chu’s mouth twitched as she reminded, “Mom… both my brother and I are adults; we’re not kids. You don’t have to choose anyone after the divorce.”
“……”
Mom was taken aback for a moment, then quickly got flustered and angry, “In my eyes, you two are still kids?!”
Ning Chu sheepishly sat next to her mom, not daring to retort, changing the subject, “Mom, these last two days, I went to the hot springs with friends and camped by the beach last night, grilling…”
“I wanted to come back early, but I had made plans with my friends in advance.”
“These last two days have made my waist feel sore~”
Mom’s eyes lit up, “Wen Yang is pretty impressive, huh? But you need to take it easy~”
“No! It’s just pure fatigue!” Ning Chu weakly defended herself, but she hesitated, her face burning as she murmured, “He’s quite impressive, so don’t worry about that… you keep saying that every time we talk…”
“Isn’t it just because I’m worried you’re going a little overboard?”
“I… I can barely keep up with him…”
Mom lightly tapped her forehead, exasperated, “You’re a succubus, for goodness’ sake!”
How could she have such a subpar succubus?
Ning Chu was miffed, her face flushed as she hung her head.
What’s wrong with being a succubus?!
That guy is the male lead! Plus, with Wen Yang standing close to 1.9 meters tall, they have almost thirty centimeters of height difference—such a big size difference along with that terrifying size he possessed; thank goodness she’s a succubus! She could handle it all.
If it wasn’t for her good physical condition and amazing recovery, she’d probably be stuck in bed every day.
She could only keep her defensive arguments hidden deep inside; she really couldn’t say anything that bold to her mother.
Mom scrutinized her daughter’s timid attitude and truly couldn’t imagine there was a man who could make a succubus feel overwhelmed.
“Well, at least I can breathe a little easier now.” Mom mumbled, “But in a few years, you need to take it easy too; don’t scare him off. Your dad was okay in the beginning…”
“……”
She sighed lightly, “He went overseas these past few years; I heard he’s been doing well, opened up a restaurant, and is now doing alright.”
“Mm… so he got married and had kids while he was away?”
“Rumor has it he hasn’t.” Mom gently ruffled Ning Chu’s hair and said earnestly, “If you ever get married, don’t keep a tight grip on Wen Yang, don’t always pick on him; mutual understanding and support are what will see you through.”
“You two were fine at first, wowing each other with promises of growing old together, but once the passion fades in a few years, that’s when the real test of love begins~”
Ning Chu nodded thoughtfully, “So, his leaving isn’t just because of his physical condition?”
Back then, her parents had probably been at each other’s throats for all sorts of matters, their feelings close to breaking apart; otherwise, her mom wouldn’t be saying stuff like this from a ‘been-there-done-that’ perspective.
“……”
Her stubborn nature came from her mother, who also didn’t admit it; instead, she suddenly turned her head, noticing a shadow flit past the door outside.
Following her mom’s gaze, Ning Chu also noticed the clue—at the open bedroom door, a pair of black cat ears was standing up sharply in midair.
Did Hei Dou eavesdrop?!
She froze for a moment, then marched over, grabbing the cat ears and pulling the little cat out from behind the wall, “Eavesdropping without hiding your ears properly!”
“Ouch~”
“Wen Yang! Take Hei Dou down to play.”
“Okay!”
Hei Dou cheered, wriggling free from Ning Chu and raced towards Wen Yang.
“This silly cat…”
