Trapped In Paradise
Volume 3 Chapter 46 / Chapter 551: A Proper Meal
Ning Chu's little bursts of temper came quickly and faded just as fast.
After taking a shower, she changed into a spaghetti-strap nightgown and sat on the living room sofa, playing on the game console.
The console had originally been bought for Black Bean. It was mainly for motion-controlled games, which were great for burning off the kitten's endless energy, and it hadn't been particularly expensive.
Her mother had never been fond of video games. Carrying a bowl of dumplings out from the kitchen, she set it on the coffee table and glanced at the TV screen.
"Play a little less. Of all the gifts you could've bought, you just had to get Ning Xin a game console."
"It lets her learn some dancing too. It's not like she's playing games all day."
Ever since she started earning money, Ning Chu's status in the family had risen dramatically. Back when she was still a student, simply sitting in front of the computer would get her scolded for "playing games." Now she could openly play in the living room—and had even spent a few thousand yuan on this console without anyone objecting.
"Remember to go to bed early."
"Okay~"
She obediently shut the game off immediately, then, taking advantage of her mother's words, smiled sweetly at Black Bean.
"Hear that? Mom says it's bedtime."
"But it's only nine o'clock~"
"If you sleep early, you'll have energy tomorrow. We're going out."
"I'm not sleepy."
Black Bean looked up at her sister with an innocent expression.
"Big Sis, I want to play too."
Suppressing her impatience, Ning Chu coaxed her gently.
"Be good. Go to bed early, and tomorrow Wen Yang and I will take you to the amusement park, okay?"
"I'm already this old. I don't like amusement parks anymore."
"..."
Ning Juan covered her mouth, trying not to laugh, and headed into the master bedroom.
"Just don't let her stay up too late."
"I know!"
Feeling a little irritated, Ning Chu handed Black Bean the controller.
"Wen Yang, get me some ketchup."
Holding her bowl of dumplings, she leaned back against the sofa, restlessly bouncing one leg as she stuffed a dumpling into her mouth. Her eyes never left Black Bean. Her mind raced, trying to figure out how to trick this cat into going to bed.
As long as Black Bean stayed awake, she wouldn't be able to have her late-night snack.
"Here. Ketchup."
Wen Yang returned with a small bowl and sat beside Ning Chu.
"...Come up with something."
He looked up to see the little succubus's face practically broadcasting annoyed and anxious.
"What's the rush? She'll get tired eventually and go to bed."
"She could play until tomorrow," Ning Chu rolled her eyes. After eating only a few dumplings, she handed the bowl to Wen Yang.
"You finish them."
"You're full already?"
"No matter how much I eat... I won't be full."
She let out a melancholy sigh.
Black Bean clearly had no idea she'd become the brightest third wheel in the living room. Hugging the controller excitedly, she stared fixedly at the TV, occasionally letting out little exclamations of excitement.
With no good way to coax Black Bean away, Ning Chu could only shift farther from Wen Yang, putting a bit more distance between them to keep his masculine scent from stirring inappropriate thoughts.
"Black Bean, when did we get a new refrigerator?"
Trying to distract herself, she casually asked about something that had caught her attention.
She had only been home once during the New Year over the past year. The rest of the time she'd been working away from home, so she knew very little about what had changed.
Still staring at the television, Black Bean answered without turning around.
"Dad bought it. Mom said the old fridge was too small, so he got a big double-door one!"
"Then why isn't Uncle home yet?"
"Dad doesn't usually live here."
"Oh~"
Ning Chu nodded thoughtfully.
Maybe Uncle was worried that living with Mom would leave him completely drained. Or maybe he was simply too busy.
For feeding a middle-aged succubus, once every two or three days seemed sufficient—at least that was how it appeared with her mother.
But as for herself...
If she went even one day without being "fed," her mind filled with dirty thoughts. After two days, she might even go into heat. Whenever she had time off, her favorite pastime was basically clinging to Wen Yang and squeezing him dry.
Since succubi didn't experience a "sage mode" afterward, she could spend an entire day shamelessly fooling around with Wen Yang. Even so, her physical stamina forced her to exercise restraint—otherwise she wouldn't even be able to get out of bed for work the next day. Her overly sensitive body also made it easy for her brain to overload, causing her to pass out.
As for Wen Yang, being the protagonist of an hentai novel, his refractory period was exceptionally short as well.
A succubus paired with a hentai protagonist... What a perfect match.
With nothing better to do, Ning Chu picked up her phone. She had intended to read a novel to suppress the obscene thoughts flooding her mind, but she couldn't focus on the story at all. Instead, those thoughts only grew stronger.
Before she realized it, she had quietly inched closer to Wen Yang until their shoulders touched.
Feeling guilty, she secretly glanced at Black Bean, who remained completely absorbed in the television. Only then did she breathe a small sigh of relief.
"Ning Chu," Wen Yang said, still looking through apartment listings on his phone, "once we get back, I'll start looking for a place. How about a two-bedroom apartment?"
"If we want to stay close to the office, it'll probably be pretty expensive... Maybe we should rent an apartment instead? At least it'd be more spacious than where we're living now."
"Mhm, whatever. You decide."
Ning Chu wasn't listening at all. Resting her chin on Wen Yang's shoulder, she twitched her nose as she quietly inhaled his faint, pleasant scent.
"This place looks nice. It's in an apartment building—a one-bedroom with a living room."
Wen Yang had found a listing he liked. When he turned his head, however, he discovered that the little succubus leaning against his shoulder wasn't looking at the apartment listings at all.
Instead, she was staring directly at his face.
Their faces were only inches apart. As she breathed, Ning Chu's warm breath brushed against his cheek, instantly leaving his mouth dry.
His gaze fell upon her full, rosy lips. He swallowed hard, suppressing the impulse rising within him. Reaching out, he caught the little hand that had quietly wandered onto his thigh, then pulled her heart-shaped tail back out from under his shirt.
"Black Bean," he reminded her.
"Oh..."
"Did you call me?"
Black Bean turned around and looked at Ning Chu and Wen Yang, who were practically pressed together.
Still holding Ning Chu's restless hand to keep her from doing anything inappropriate under Black Bean's gaze, Wen Yang answered, "It's already nine-thirty. You should go wash up and get ready for bed."
"Brother-in-law, take me out for barbecue! Secretly—don't tell Mom!"
As usual, Black Bean suddenly came up with a completely random idea.
"We'll take you tomorrow. You've already had dumplings and an egg burger for your late-night snack today."
"Aww... I don't want to wait..."
Unable to hold herself back any longer, Ning Chu frowned and spoke in a noticeably sterner tone.
"Black Bean. Go to bed."
The impatience in her voice immediately put Black Bean on alert.
The cat ears atop her head instinctively flattened backward against her hair, and her tail stiffened.
"...Okay."
Although Ning Chu rarely lost her temper with her—and had never hit her—Black Bean was still thoroughly intimidated. Obediently, she switched off the game console and television, then quickly cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks left on the coffee table after the dumplings.
"Just leave them there. I'll clean up later."
"Okay."
Wen Yang could clearly feel Ning Chu's body trembling. Her succubus heat carried a sweet, intoxicating scent that reached his nose.
Looking down again, he saw that the little succubus's eyes seemed to be filled with heart shapes, while her flushed face looked irresistibly beautiful.
Her legs were pressed tightly together, her hips shifting restlessly.
Her voice even carried the edge of a sob.
"It just... happened... Take me back to the bedroom."
She had only intended to tease Wen Yang a little.
Instead, her heat had suddenly overtaken her, burning away what little rationality she had left.
"There's a weird smell..."
Muttering to herself, Black Bean swished her tail and walked into the bathroom.
The moment they heard the bathroom door close, the succubus impatiently tried to pounce on Wen Yang.
Instead, he pinned her down against the sofa with a swift motion.
Scooping Ning Chu up in a bridal carry, he hurriedly made his way toward the second bedroom.
