Chapter 630. Cousin
Ning Chu stood by the car, dazed, watching as her mother and Uncle walked away, holding Hei Dou’s hand, gradually getting smaller in the distance.
Hei Dou swung their arms enthusiastically, her tail perked up in excitement. At times, she let go of their hands, playfully circling around them like a fluttering butterfly, creating quite a ruckus. If she strayed too far, their mother would call her back with a loud reprimand.
Though the little cat was being unruly, love and happiness always adorned their faces.
As she gazed at their retreating figures, Ning Chu suddenly thought that having a child could be quite nice.
Living vibrantly like Hei Dou may cause exasperation, but isn’t it mostly beautiful?
She couldn’t help but imagine her mother and Uncle’s figures replaced by herself and Wen Yang, with Hei Dou swapped for a hypothetical future child… Lost in thought, a warm smile crept onto her lips.
It really is quite nice~
“Get in the car.”
Ning Yuan tapped on the car window, snapping her out of her trance.
“Oh.”
“Let me take you home first.”
“Okay.”
After opening the car door, Ning Chu settled into the passenger seat, her gaze still fixated far away, not wanting to part from the sight.
“Uncle will take good care of Mom, right?” she suddenly asked her brother.
“Why wouldn’t he? They’ve been together for so many years,” Ning Yuan glanced at her, “Buckle in.”
“I’m planning to work in another city soon, trying my luck in Bei, Shang, and Guang to earn more money.”
Ning Chu paused for a moment, “Then you won’t really get to come home all year, will you?”
“Isn’t Mom being looked after by Uncle? Just come back for the New Year, and if there’s an emergency, you can fly back, it’s no biggie.” Ning Yuan started the car while he spoke, “Ever since I got with your sister-in-law, I just want to make more money. If it weren’t for worrying about Mom, I’d have moved to a big city already.”
“Why’s everyone just thinking about making money…”
Her brother was like this, Wen Yang was like this too.
“Men have to have some sense of responsibility; I can’t let your sister-in-law suffer alongside me.”
Ning Chu nodded thoughtfully.
When he was a man, he had nothing—no attachments, no one he cared about—so he didn’t fully understand this sense of responsibility.
“Just thinking about it makes me feel tired.”
Ning Yuan chuckled, “Really? I’m full of energy.”
Just a few minutes into the drive, he couldn’t stop nagging: “You’re going to see Wen Yang tomorrow? Take care of yourself when you’re out of town, if you feel wronged, come home, don’t hold it in.”
“If Wen Yang hits or scolds you, just ditch him ASAP. Don’t listen to his nonsense; if there’s a tendency for violence, it won’t change for a lifetime.”
“Bro, how would he dare hit me? I wouldn’t hit him back.”
“If he cheats, it’s the same; once a cheater, always a cheater.”
“He wouldn’t dare, and I’m keeping an eye on him.” Ning Chu straightened up proudly, “Besides, not many girls can compare to my looks!”
In terms of beauty and figure! She’s got it all nailed down!
Even if anyone can compete, no woman can overshadow a succubus!
Besides, she was once a man, so she knows exactly what excites men.
Ning Yuan glanced at his sister, “No matter how pretty, you’re still not as good as wildflowers.”
“Can you say something nice about Wen Yang?”
In just half an hour of walking, the drive took only about ten minutes. After chatting a bit, they parked at the community entrance.
Ning Chu got out of the car, huffing, and shot her brother a glare from inside the vehicle.
“Are you really not going to the gathering?”
“Not going!” She lightly kicked the car door, venting her frustration, then quickly asked, “Are you coming home tonight?”
“Come on…” Ning Yuan’s words caught in his throat, seeing Ning Chu’s hopeful eyes, he switched tactics, “Alright, I’ll sleep on the couch tonight and take you to the bus station tomorrow, okay?”
“That’s perfect! I’m counting on you to take me to the bus station!”
“Looks like you just need a driver, huh?”
Ning Yuan murmured as he drove out of the neighborhood.
Watching that old, rusty car drive away, Ning Chu stretched lazily and turned back towards the community.
Her home was currently empty; Wen Yang was still at work, and she didn’t know what to do when she got back.
She secretly wished to attend her mother’s small wedding banquet with Uncle, but there were some relatives she found utterly annoying, not to mention putting on a fake smile.
But some relatives were quite nice; not everyone could be dismissed outright.
Being home alone… Didn’t that mean she could do as she pleased without worrying about being caught?!
Maybe take some lewd pics and send them to Wen Yang, drive him crazy!
Just as the thought crossed her mind, Ning Chu’s imagination ran wild, and her body tingled with excitement.
She hurried her steps, eagerly entering her building.
However, upon arriving at the elevator, she encountered an unexpected person.
It was a tall male, about 1.8 meters, with a sculpted figure and short-dyed hair, always wearing a warm smile like a breath of spring.
Cousin!
They were quite close when they were younger, but ever since middle school, they hardly interacted anymore.
Ning Chu’s steps froze, and she casually stopped beside her cousin. With two units per floor, there was no escaping; turning around and running would be a bit too suspicious…
She silently prayed: Don’t notice me, don’t notice me.
But her striking looks and figure were too eye-catching; as soon as she halted, her cousin’s gaze fell on her legs.
She wasn’t wearing stockings today, but even without that enhancement, her straight, flawless white legs showed no imperfections—slender calves, full thighs, and smooth, fair skin like white satin.
Looks like her cousin was a leg guy!
A soulmate~
Since becoming a woman, she hadn’t seen her cousin, so she had to suppress her inner chaos and feign calmness, hardening her expression, emulating Lily’s cold demeanor.
The elevator arrived.
Ning Chu stepped in alongside her cousin, glancing at the floor he pressed.
Sure enough, he was coming over to find her…
She casually pressed other floors, then continued her act of aloofness, arms crossed over her stomach, leaning against the glass wall of the elevator.
It seemed her cousin didn’t recognize her.
I mean, going straight from cousin brother to cousin sister, how could anyone recognize her? Especially since they hadn’t seen each other for years.
The few minutes in the elevator felt extraordinarily agonizing, especially with her cousin’s gaze occasionally landing on her. Though it was merely an appreciative look for a younger sister, it still made her very anxious.
Finally stepping out of the elevator, she sighed in relief.
Ning Chu had already changed her phone number; if her cousin wanted to find her now, he’d have to go to her door.
She originally had her mind set on going home for some fun, but now she couldn’t even return.
What if she just confessed to her cousin?
But that seemed entirely unnecessary; she was curious what her cousin’s reaction would be if he found out.
Might as well be patient and wait a few minutes…
With her departure tomorrow, she didn’t want to add any more troubles at this moment.
Not long after, she heard a phone ringing up in the hallway, and soon after, there were sounds of her cousin taking the elevator away.
Now she could go home and follow her original plan!
