Chapter 508. Marriage!
It’s not like before when I had an elder to confide in during difficult decisions.
“Mom…”
Ning Chu sat on the swing in the garden, head down, watching her legs sway gently in the air as she dialed her mother’s number.
“What’s up? Calling me at this time? Aren’t you in class?”
“…”
“Upset?”
She raised her head slightly to glance at Wen Yang, sitting on a distant bench, pursing her lips. “Mom… Wen Yang is planning to work in Shanghai.”
“Oh? Isn’t that a great opportunity? High salaries in big cities, it’s good to earn more, right~”
“But I want to work at home… If I go with him, I can only come back during the New Year.”
Ning Chu fiddled with her nails, having never considered the possibility of a long-distance relationship with Wen Yang.
For regular couples, long-distance is already tough enough; feelings can’t withstand distance, and with Wen Yang’s protagonist halo, it was a given that he would attract attention without her around.
Most importantly! She’s a succubus! She can’t just solve problems like Lily does, playing with toys all day!
Lily hasn’t experienced the taste of a man and can still get by; she can’t!
“Isn’t that better?”
Unexpectedly, her mother actually seemed quite pleased.
“Ah?” Ning Chu tilted her head in confusion.
Realizing she might have revealed too much joy, her mother cleared her throat and earnestly advised, “Ning Chu~ You’ve grown up~ It’s great to go out and see the world with Wen Yang!”
“Eh? You can rest easy about that?”
“I’m not that worried about you going out alone, but with Wen Yang taking care of you, what’s there to worry about?”
Hearing her mother’s tone, Ning Chu almost burst out laughing.
“Go ahead~ I wouldn’t even mind if you went abroad.”
She asked in bewilderment, “Mom, why does it sound like you want to kick me out?”
“Of course not! Oh—just thinking about only seeing you once a year makes me sad; I could almost cry~”
“……”
Ning Chu twitched the corners of her mouth but finally understood her mother’s meaning.
She just wants to enjoy her time with Uncle, right?!
Does Uncle’s body really endure that kind of treatment?!
After a brief silence, she could understand her mother’s feelings.
After all, her mother raised her and her brother all by herself, and she was already physically and mentally exhausted. She had never lived for herself, and now that she finally caught her breath, she was handed a little cat girl to take care of.
After decades of hard work, it was indeed time for her to enjoy life.
Ning Chu then asked, “Is Hei Dou still at home?”
“She said she wants to live at school after she enters middle school, coming home once a week.” Her mother’s smile was getting hard to hide, “By the way, next month I plan to marry your Uncle.”
“Marry?!” Ning Chu was startled by the news and then her eyes sparkled with curiosity, “Are you holding a wedding? What’s the plan? I want to mess with the newlyweds!”
“For people in their forties or fifties, what’s the point of a wedding?” Her mother sighed helplessly, “Just take some wedding photos, get a certificate, and have a meal together.”
“Pfft~”
Ning Chu made a disappointed sound.
“I’m hanging up, I have to go pick up Ning Xin from school. That silly cat cries if she doesn’t see me after school, who knows if she’s out playing with classmates.”
After all, she was once a stray cat.
Before Ning Chu could defend Hei Dou, her mother hung up, but her terrible mood had already cleared away.
She looked up at Wen Yang, only to see him staring at her eagerly.
“Come here.”
Waving him over, Wen Yang trotted over to her side with the excitement of a golden retriever.
“What did she say?” Wen Yang stood behind her and held the swing, asking expectantly.
Ning Chu furrowed her brow, shaking her head, “Nope, my mom wants me to stay home to work, saying if you insist on going…”
She put on an act and let out a long sigh when suddenly she felt Wen Yang gently poke her waist, and she looked up, irritated. “I’m talking seriously here!”
“Trying to tease me again?”
“Of course not! Hey! Don’t tickle me, it tickles!”
Ning Chu was very ticklish, and with one hand pinned down by Wen Yang, the other was relentlessly poking her side, making her laugh uncontrollably as she squirmed in his embrace, trying to escape.
“Stop messing around! Stop it! I might fall off!”
“What did your mom say, exactly?”
She steadied herself on the swing, catching her breath but inhaling a large whiff of Wen Yang’s scent. Her face was already flushed with laughter, but she insisted, “That’s exactly what my mom said!”
Wen Yang menacingly put his hand back on her waist again, threatening, “Hmm? Do you want me to tickle you?”
However, this time, the Little Demoness had lost her smile, instead her eyes turned slightly red, lips slightly parted as she wrapped her arm around his.
“……”
He glanced nervously around.
The waist area was also Ning Chu’s sensitive spot, and Wen Yang’s sweat hadn’t fully dried, constantly emitting a scent attractive to succubi, which made Ning Chu feel a little dizzy.
“My mom wants me to go with you~ She’s tired of me already~”
Leaning against Wen Yang’s chest, Ning Chu spoke sweetly, making it extremely enticing.
“I knew it.”
Wen Yang had been watching Ning Chu’s expression while she was on the phone, the alternate confusion and joy were clearly signs of a pleasant conversation.
“I naively thought I could spend more time with my mom at home, but she didn’t even appreciate it!” Ning Chu gently rubbed her cheek against Wen Yang’s abdomen, mumbling, “But you might need to go first; I have something to wait for.”
“What is it?”
“Next month, my mom is getting married to Uncle~ I definitely have to be there!”
Wen Yang was stunned, only then realizing how important the news was. He took out his phone and checked the calendar, mumbling to himself, “The beginning of next month is a short break; when is Auntie getting married?”
“I didn’t ask in detail, but if I had to guess, it should be around the middle of the month, on my mom’s birthday.”
“That’s not going to work… It wouldn’t be right not to attend my future in-laws’ wedding, would it?”
Wen Yang felt there were a lot of gaps in his statement.
“Shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
He looked down at the little demoness, who was rubbing against him like a little cat, almost melting in sweetness, and helplessly pressed her little head down, trying to resist the urge. “I need to stay away from you…”
If this continues, they might seriously end up in a wild situation right there.
Despite all the teasing, Ning Chu couldn’t accept being in such a situation under the watchful eye of others.
“Why don’t we skip class and go home?” Ning Chu’s eyes were filled with love, “There’s only gym class this afternoon.”
Her suggestion made Wen Yang’s heart skip a beat; he almost agreed without hesitation, “Well, that sounds plausible?”
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
Just as she got his agreement, Ning Chu jumped off the swing, grabbing Wen Yang’s hand and running towards the exit of the school.
