378. Wife Control
Ah~ So much for that promise to refrain from the spicy stuff~
In broad daylight, thankfully the sound of running water in the bathroom served as a good cover, and she was doing her best to keep her lips sealed.
Though this situation was beyond her control, she had to admit that after getting a taste of the lavish life, her brain was definitely more alert.
Just her body, though, felt a bit worn out.
Tired, she got dressed and flopped onto the bed like a ragged doll. Ning Chu’s mind was swirling with thoughts about the plot’s future development.
The villain had threatened her with, “You wouldn’t want anyone to know there’s a girl living in the boys’ dormitory, right?” and forced the girl to give in, giving the male protagonist… well, then they ended up sneaking onto the girl’s bed in the dead of night while everyone else was fast asleep.
Even though Zhang Shaoqing hadn’t turned evil yet and was still his clueless self, she worried that the guy might actually develop some disturbing ideas.
How terrifying!
Zhang Shaoqing was indeed back! He probably hadn’t heard her stirring, but the fact that he hadn’t entered the room was definitely a sign he knew what she and Wen Yang were up to.
When she wrote about it, she was all pumped up, but when the scenario from her novel started playing out in real life, sinking into the role of the heroine, Ning Chu found herself devoid of any excitement, and instead felt a wave of nausea.
There was a strange scent lingering on Wen Yang’s bed, definitely from Zhang Shaoqing… It made her restless as she lay there, and her weak body had left her unable to even get on the bed without Wen Yang carrying her over.
On the other hand, Wen Yang was as fresh as a daisy, giving no indication of being drained at all.
“I’ll step out for a bit; Shao Qing is probably waiting outside.”
He glanced down at Ning Chu, whose cheeks still bore a pink hue, her eyes slightly red and hazy, lips parted as she gasped for breath. The more he looked, the more invigorated he felt.
His strong possessiveness made him not want any other guy to see Ning Chu in such a state. After a moment’s pause, he continued, “I’ll take him to the internet cafe to surf the web. You should rest and head back first?”
“Yeah, got it…”
Wen Yang paused at the door, an impish smirk on his face as he turned to Ning Chu and asked, “What if we act this out just like the novel?”
Those thrilling scenes were all created by Ning Chu herself, which meant she deep down wanted to experience it, didn’t she?
“No way!”
Instantly, she found her strength and shook her head like a bobblehead.
She definitely wanted to experience it! But only from a male perspective!
After all, she had always written her novels from the male protagonist’s point of view! Little did she know she was actually the nonexistent heroine!
But it did sound kind of thrilling…
“Absolutely not!”
“Fine then.”
Wen Yang noticed her emphatic refusal and his warm smile turned sweet like honey, yet somehow transformed into that of a smiling tiger.
Having spent so much time together, he could tell Ning Chu was a bit tempted, but her lips only softened during a kiss.
“Feeling good?”
“Ha~ Okayish.”
Ning Chu clicked her tongue and turned away from Wen Yang, “Wimp~”
If it weren’t almost time for work…
Wen Yang slipped out, glancing at the annoyed look on Ning Chu’s face as he pushed the door open, spotting Zhang Shaoqing sitting on the stairs in the distance.
With all those cigarette butts around, this guy clearly couldn’t wait any longer.
“Look who finally decided to come out?” Zhang Shaoqing raised his head, shot Wen Yang a look that was almost like that of a jilted woman, “I’ve been waiting outside for nearly two hours! Do you even care? I’m freezing my b*tt off here!”
“Good for your kidneys.”
He shot Wen Yang a glance that seemed to say, “You’ve been hanging out with Ning Chu way too long; you’re becoming quite the chatterbox.”
d*mn it, so envious~
Here he was, a rich kid and still a virgin! And there was no way he’d last this long! Wen Yang definitely had some issues and probably needed to see a doctor!
“Ning Chu said I’ve been corrupted by you.”
“Bullshit! She’s framing me!”
Zhang Shaoqing got up from the stairs and cleared his throat, “If I get lung cancer, it’ll all be your guys’ fault.”
“Just don’t smoke, then.”
Seeing Zhang Shaoqing head towards the room, Wen Yang grabbed his arm, “Let’s go; I’ll take you to the internet cafe.”
“Aren’t you supposed to be working?”
“There’s a net cafe near that restaurant; just hang out there this afternoon.”
As he spoke, Wen Yang kept a close watch on Zhang Shaoqing’s expression.
He was aware of the part of the plot Ning Chu mentioned, and he knew Zhang Shaoqing had gotten the upper hand countless times in the book. But right now, all he saw on Zhang Shaoqing’s face was dissatisfaction and annoyance, with hardly a hint of attraction towards Ning Chu.
The two headed down the stairs, and Wen Yang curiously asked, “Didn’t you already start working over there? Why are you back?”
Mentioning this ticked Zhang Shaoqing off. “d*mn it, I got bumped into by a kid! Spilled food all over a customer and got yelled at like crazy!”
“Couldn’t take the heat, so I quit!”
Wen Yang shook his head helplessly, “So what’s next for you now?”
“Going home! My family’s loaded; why should I work?” Zhang Shaoqing grumbled, then threw an arm around Wen Yang’s neck, grinning wickedly.
“What’s up?” Wen Yang frowned, knowing this guy had some devious plans brewing.
“Tonight, you two are treating me to dinner! I waited outside for two hours in this cold, isn’t that worth a meal?”
Usually, Zhang Shaoqing was the one treating, but this was the first time he’d asked someone to treat him.
“Out of money? Didn’t you say you were saving up until school starts?”
He scratched his head, “I’m used to spending big; I don’t know how I ran out…”
“This is only the third day, right?”
“Don’t remind me; you’ll have to cover my internet costs.”
Wen Yang helplessly dialed Ning Chu’s number, “Hey, honey, could you send me twenty bucks…”
“Oh~ you’re calling her honey now~”
“To pay for Shao Qing’s internet; he ran out of cash.”
Zhang Shaoqing sidled up with a cheeky grin and teased, “Man, you’re a real sad case~ Handing over all your cash even before getting married?”
“Men gotta stand tall! Look at that ‘Wife Control’ face of yours!”
He paused, fanning the flames, “Need a few hundred more; tonight, I’ll take you to see the sights! Catgirls, fox girls, you name it~”
“You have no idea, some bars even have rabbit-eared girls doing pole dances~ now that’s a thrill!”
Wen Yang cast a sidelong glance at the clueless face beside him, “Ning Chu said if you keep whining, she’ll toss your luggage out.”
“I swear! She wouldn’t really do that, would she?!” Zhang Shaoqing’s face changed, and he shouted into Wen Yang’s phone, “Mistake! Mistake! Don’t throw it out!”
“Ugh~”
Lying powerless on her bed, Ning Chu rolled her eyes at the shouting from the other end.
Propping herself up, she leaned against the headboard, fiddling with her phone: “I’ve sent you the money.”
But really, are there rabbit-eared girls doing pole dances?
She felt a little stirred, not in a good way, considering she was on the receiving end herself, but curiosity still got the better of her!
An odd and subtle sensation stirred in her lower abdomen, making Ning Chu furrow her brows as she hung up on Wen Yang. Exhausted, she dragged herself to open Wen Yang’s luggage, pulling out a few hidden little items.
It was a plot punishment… It seemed Zhang Shaoqing hadn’t developed any special feelings for her.
So much for refraining from the spicy stuff; here she was, caught up in it twice in one day!
