READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 605. News of the Class Reunion
Leaning over with her thigh elegantly crossed, Ning Chu fixed her gaze on the TV series playing on the projection screen.
However, the loud bickering between Hei Dou and her daughter was a bit too much, drawing her attention away now and then.
She had clearly hated noise in the past, especially from small children—their high-pitched shrieks could pierce eardrums and drive anyone mad. But since having her daughter, she gradually got used to it, even coming to like the playful chaos. She would always watch with a smile, feeling satisfied while observing her daughter’s healthy, lively antics.
Though her blood pressure often rose from the frustration, this kind of life wasn’t too bad~
“Sis, am I sleeping in the same room as Shu Jun tonight?” Hei Dou suddenly ran over, leaning on the sofa and looking at Ning Chu with hopeful eyes, “That way I won’t disturb you and my brother-in-law at night, right~”
Ning Chu shot her a glance: “You can sleep in the next room with Shu Jun if she’s willing.”
“It’s almost ten; time to wash up and sleep.”
Hei Dou gasped in shock: “It’s only ten! I can’t sleep yet!”
As a college student, Hei Dou considered it early if she went to bed before midnight, often playing mobile games with her roommates until two or three in the morning. It had been a long time since she had fallen asleep before twelve.
“Once we’re all asleep, you’ll be alone at night~”
Stretching lazily, Ning Chu got up from the sofa and called to her daughter: “Shu Jun, it’s time for a bath.”
“Wait up!”
“Stop playing.”
She urged, turning her head toward the front door, murmuring, “Why hasn’t your dad come back yet?”
Just as she mentioned Wen Yang, the sound of the elevator door opening echoed in the hallway, followed by a soft “ding” as the front door opened, and Wen Yang walked in, arms full of bags.
“Took over an hour to send my mom back?”
“Don’t mention it; I was dragged to the supermarket and picked up some fruits and snacks along the way.”
Upon hearing “snacks,” Hei Dou and her daughter excitedly rushed to Wen Yang, eagerly peering into the shopping bags.
“Dad! What did you buy?”
“Brother-in-law! Did you buy something special for me!”
Wen Yang chuckled as he set down the shopping bags: “Yes, yes, I bought them for you two…”
Earlier, they had stocked up on loads of cheese sticks and various snacks, but the daughter hardly ate any; they were devoured by him and his wife.
“Eat less,” Ning Chu reminded, continuing to ask Hei Dou, “Why didn’t you bring any clothes over?”
“I’ll just wear sis’s! My luggage is still at home!”
“Fine… how about a spaghetti strap dress?”
Hei Dou blinked, teasingly looking at Wen Yang: “Really? I’ve got a great figure~”
Ning Chu nearly burst out laughing; with Hei Dou’s little frame, she doubted Wen Yang would even care to look at her in a spaghetti strap dress.
Neither her bust, butt, nor waist could compete with Ning Chu!
“What are you laughing at!” Hei Dou huffed, instinctively making a hissing sound from her throat.
“It’s nothing, I’ll go get you some clothes.”
Ning Chu walked straight to the bedroom, grabbed a few sleepwear pieces, and stuffed a long dress into Hei Dou’s arms: “Here, wear this one.”
“Isn’t it supposed to be a spaghetti strap?”
“It’s not suitable; I’m afraid you’ll feel self-conscious.”
She only said it for show; there was no way she would let Hei Dou wear a spaghetti strap. Even if Wen Yang looked at her a moment longer, she would get jealous.
“Clearly, you’re the one being timid~” Hei Dou wagged her tail and jogged toward the bathroom, only to peek her head out moments later, “Sis, should I wash with Shu Jun?”
“Sure.”
Having been a woman for so long and having children, Ning Chu was no longer the succubus who felt shy even in front of girls when changing clothes. Now, she could even behave calmly, even proudly, showering together.
In reality, not many women had a figure like hers.
After her shower and changing into a light spaghetti strap short dress nightgown, Ning Chu yawned and headed towards the bedroom.
“Hei Dou, make sure Shu Jun sleeps early, not past ten-thirty.”
“Got it~”
“And you should get to bed early too, don’t stay up late; look at your dark circles…” She glanced back at Hei Dou’s beautiful cat-like eyes, not seeing any dark circles, and rolled her eyes, “Night owl~”
Wen Yang had already showered in another bathroom and was now lying at the head of the bed, beckoning to his wife by the door, “Come sleep in, don’t mind them.”
“Wait, you’re going to spoil Shu Jun…”
Ning Chu murmured as she closed the door, locking it casually.
She looked up at Wen Yang but found him grinning mischievously, his gaze wandering suggestively to her sensitive spots. Her face turned slightly red as she glared back in annoyance: “Our daughter and Hei Dou haven’t slept yet!”
Wen Yang loved to tease her deliberately, and she, too, enjoyed playing the shy little girl.
If she boldly waved at Wen Yang, shouting “Come take me” or something similar, it would be too forward and lose its charm~
Ning Chu warily sat on the other side of the bed while Wen Yang shamelessly moved closer, whispering temptingly near her ear, “We locked the door, it’s fine.”
“No way!”
“So you start first…” Wen Yang’s gaze fell on Ning Chu’s full, luscious lips, “We’re just an old married couple now, right?”
“You’re such a pervert~”
Ning Chu shook her head even more vigorously in refusal.
Not out of shyness, but worried that Hei Dou would smell the childishness on her the next morning.
Fortunately, her phone on the nightstand vibrated.
She hurriedly picked it up, saying dismissively, “It’s Lily and Xin Ya calling. Hold on.”
Every now and then, Ning Chu, Yan Xinya, and Lily would have a voice call, complaining to each other about the troubles of life, gossiping about daily shenanigans, poking fun at still childless Lily…
Qian Qian would occasionally join in, but her job kept her extremely busy unlike the three of them—either at home with kids or prepping for pregnancy, they were all idly restless.
“Ning Chu! It’s confirmed! In November, Qian Qian will also have time off! Let’s have our reunion during National Day this year!”
The wolf sister’s voice was always full of energy, while Lily’s was gentler.
“Are we still going to your place?”
Ning Chu opposed the idea: “It’s always your house; it’s a hassle to bring the kids over. This time it should be at my place? Xin Ya can bring her son along~ Perfect for playing with my daughter.”
“Great! Let’s set up a matchmaking trio!”
“What’s the point of that, let the kids develop their own relationship; no need to fuss like some feudal patriarch~ Hey!”
She suddenly let out a short exclamation.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Ning Chu pushed away the “perverted hand” from her chest, frowning as she looked up at Wen Yang, kicking out at him, but he effortlessly caught her foot in his hand.
“Playing phone tag, are we?” Listening to Ning Chu’s playful breathing, Lily coldly speculated, “Is Ning Chu currently pouting her butt out?”
“Ah~ no wonder you’re a succubus~” Yan Xinya suddenly realized, “That’s quite a lively game!”
“I’m not!”
