"Brother-in-law! Take it back! Take it back! I don’t want these things!"

“No, seriously, it’ll be good for you to read more when you have the time.”

“I don’t want it! You’re setting me up!”

Just as Ning Chu turned off the shower, she heard the commotion outside.

Suspicious, she sniffed her arm—there was only the scent of body wash. There shouldn’t be any other smells lingering.

But given how much Wen Yang had released last night, soaking her for hours before she was fully cleaned up... who knows?

Barefoot, she stepped out of the bathroom, standing on the absorbent bath mat, and grabbed a towel to dry herself off.

She slipped into a fluffy cotton house robe, wrapping it snugly around herself. The belt was tied securely at her waist. Even though she wasn’t wearing anything underneath, she wasn’t worried about any wardrobe malfunctions since there were no guests at home.

Her upper body was slightly full, but the belt accentuated the dramatic curve of her slender waist and the roundness of her hips. No matter what she wore, her developing figure exuded an undeniable sensuality.

This is the aura of a harem novel's female lead...

With a man’s attention, it wouldn’t be long before she outgrew her B-cup.

Ning Chu mused that it might be time to buy a new set of lingerie.

After wiping up the remaining water on the bathroom floor, she stepped out into the living room.

“What’s going on here? Why all the noise?”

She walked in, barefoot, with her arms crossed, entering the lively living room.

Hei Dou was clutching a plastic bag, breathless, chasing after Wen Yang, who was leading her around the room. Their mother watched the spectacle with a smile, propped up on the arm of the sofa.

“Sis! Wen Yang is bullying me!” Hei Dou cried, running over to Ning Chu with a pitiful expression, gazing up at her with big, tear-filled eyes. “Sis! Look what he gave me! He doesn’t want me to be happy!”

“Wow, no more calling him brother-in-law, huh...”

Ning Chu took the plastic bag and peeked inside, almost bursting out laughing. But seeing Hei Dou on the verge of tears, she bit her lip and suppressed her amusement.

“Homework?”

“Yeah! I already have so much homework! It takes me an hour every day! And now he’s giving me more!”

An hour wasn’t that much...

Ning Chu sifted through the contents and reassured her, “It’s fine. From now on, just do two pages of these extra workbooks, and Wen Yang will take you out to dinner.”

“Really?”

Hei Dou turned to Wen Yang.

“Really.”

“Thanks, brother-in-law! I’ll go do it right now!” Hei Dou snatched the plastic bag and dashed off to her room.

Wen Yang shook his head helplessly. “Just now it was Wen Yang, and now it’s back to brother-in-law.”

“That’s what you call opportunistic,” Ning Chu finally allowed herself to laugh, her eyes curving into crescent moons. She sauntered over to Wen Yang, joking, “Hei Dou stayed up all night again, I don’t know where she gets all this energy from. And Xin Ya too—these beast-eared girls are full of energy.”

Succubi have plenty of energy when well-fed too.

Ning Chu hadn’t slept much last night either, only a few hours, but today she still felt no fatigue.

Their mother crossed her legs, watching her daughter’s gentle smile, practically overflowing with warmth. Ning Chu moved lightly but with a sense of urgency, quickly sidling up to that poor boy and whispering sweet nothings.

The stench of young love was even stronger now.

She cleared her throat. “Are you two pretending I don’t exist?”

Ning Chu jumped, her face instantly turning red, before hurriedly walking over to the couch and sitting down beside her mother, all smiles. “Mom~ I was thinking... maybe we could have steamed red crab with vermicelli and white radish ribs tonight...”

“That box of oysters looked good too! I saw a huge box at the supermarket for less than twenty bucks.”

Her mother immediately saw through her. Lowering her voice, she said, “Trying to feed your man, huh?”

“...”

Even though the harem novel male lead probably didn’t need any special nourishment, last night’s workout had been intense but not over the top. In the book, the main character’s most impressive feat was going through several women in one night, leaving them all unconscious—a veritable human-sized teddy bear.

While Wen Yang’s personality and moral compass differed greatly from the typical harem male lead, physically, there was likely no difference.

“And spending my money to do it.”

Her mother rolled her eyes, and Ning Chu sheepishly protested, “Didn’t Wen Yang give you five hundred bucks?”

“With the way you want to eat, five hundred bucks will barely cover three meals.”

That red crab—also known as hairy crab—could cost over 150 bucks a pound for the good quality ones at the market.

“Mom~”

“Fine, I’ll go to the supermarket,” her mother said, stretching her arms and massaging her back. “I’ll leave Ning Xin here with you.”

“...”

Do I look like someone who’s desperate for more?

Ning Chu shot a disgruntled look at her mother, who playfully knocked on her head before heading to the bedroom to change.

“What did she just say?”

Wen Yang, who had been waiting nearby, hurried over, looking nervous. “Was she talking about me again?”

“Mm, but it looks like my mom was satisfied with your gift this time~” Ning Chu straightened up, reaching up to pat Wen Yang’s head. “Well done! Keep it up!”

“That’s good.”

Wen Yang didn’t mind being patted on the head, given his height. Ning Chu rarely had the chance to reach his head anyway.

He let out a sigh of relief, feeling more relaxed. “What does our mom like? I can’t just keep giving Hei Dou workbooks or she’ll end up hating me.”

“Hmm... jewelry’s out of our budget.” Ning Chu tapped her finger against her lips, pondering. “Other than jewelry, I’m not really sure.”

“Ah, I see...” Wen Yang shook his head, sighing. “Guess Hei Dou will just have to suffer a bit.”

“Yeah, poor Hei Dou~” Ning Chu giggled, imagining the scene of Hei Dou finally snapping at Wen Yang.

Poor kitty.

“Hey, hey, hey! There are still kids in the house!”

Her mother, now fully dressed, came back into the living room, only to find Ning Chu practically sitting on Wen Yang’s lap, her robe a bit loose, revealing her delicate, fair collarbones and a hint of curve.

She seriously suspected that if she hadn’t shown up, these two would have made a baby within the next half hour.

“Oh!” Ning Chu hurriedly put some distance between herself and Wen Yang, adjusting her robe and sitting up straight.

“Wen Yang, come with me to the store and carry the basket.”

Her mother wasn’t taking any chances, especially with Ning Chu. Succubi often went wild after their first time.

“Okay!”

“Ning Chu, you help your sister with her homework.”

“Got it!”

After sending her mother and Wen Yang out the door, Ning Chu rubbed her nose, feeling troubled.

Who knows why she had ended up practically glued to Wen Yang just now.

She’d have to work on controlling herself~

Lost in thought, she made her way to the guest room and opened the door, only to find Hei Dou slumped over the desk, clutching a pencil. Her ears drooped sideways as she snored softly, a little puddle of drool soaking into her workbook.

At least she had finished her homework from the tutoring class.
