NOVEL NEXT Chapter 594. A Couple’s Holiday
“Finally free~”
In the couple’s room of the hot spring resort, Wen Yang was packing their bags when he heard excited cheers coming from the changing room.
He instinctively turned his head and saw Ning Chu, dressed in a swimsuit and a white bathrobe, running over with enthusiasm.
“Honey!”
Ning Chu wrapped her arms around Wen Yang’s neck and sprang up, her long, fair legs skillfully wrapping around his waist, hanging on him like a koala.
“Are you really that happy?”
Wen Yang’s eyes sparkled with laughter as he supported Ning Chu’s perky bottom, looking down at the little demoness hanging from his chest.
“Absolutely! These past few years, it’s been all about Shu Jun! Finally, I’ve escaped her!”
Once she started complaining, there was no stopping her. Ning Chu chatted on, “When we got our marriage certificate, you said you’d take me on a honeymoon, but we still haven’t gone.”
“Since we came back and bought a house, it’s been at least four years since I’ve had a decent outing! It’s all just cooking and cleaning every day, and it’s even hard to catch up with Lily.”
“Ah~ I really shouldn’t have had a baby back then! Look at Lily, she’s so carefree without kids~ Always inviting me to go shopping, but I have no time.”
“Working is even better; at least I can talk to someone instead of being bored to death at home.”
Though she had no job-related pressures as a housewife, Ning Chu felt increasingly disconnected from society and had a pitifully small social circle. Every day was filled with mundane chores, and while she might not be physically tired, her mind was always under pressure.
Now, she let it all out.
Wen Yang gently ruffled Ning Chu’s beautiful black hair, “How about I take you abroad when I’m done with work?”
Yesterday, his wife got a cute jellyfish haircut that lightened her mature look, and with her pretty face, she now looked like a girl in her twenties.
Her bikini showcased her figure so perfectly that most of her soft, tofu-like skin was exposed to the air. Her slender waist was like a willow branch, her slightly wider hips swayed gracefully, and her rising curves attracted Wen Yang’s gaze.
Although she had kids, Ning Chu’s body hadn’t changed much. In fact, due to her second development, she looked even fuller and more appealing.
“Aren’t you just painting a pretty picture for me?”
Hanging on Wen Yang’s waist, Ning Chu looked up at him with suspicion.
“When have I ever painted a picture? I said I’d buy a house back in college, didn’t I?”
He walked straight out to the small courtyard, holding Ning Chu and sitting them both in the hot spring pool.
Ning Chu’s cheeks turned a tempting shade of peach from the steam, and she let out a comfortable moan as she lowered her hands from Wen Yang’s neck, lazily curling up before him, soaking just below her chin in the hot spring.
Even though they had a bathtub at home, there was no comparison between regular hot water and the hot spring.
She felt utterly relaxed~
But it wasn’t long before Ning Chu opened her eyes, nervously asking, “Shu Jun isn’t crying and throwing a fit wanting me at kindergarten, is she?”
“Just now, you were complaining about Shu Jun like crazy?”
“Well, considering I’ve taken care of her for so long~ She doesn’t like napping, so she might be noisy during rest time…”
She leaned against Wen Yang’s shoulder, frowning, “I feel like I’ve never been apart from Shu Jun for so long; she must be making a fuss, right?”
Over the years, she had grown unaccustomed to being apart from her daughter for any length of time, always anxious, afraid something might happen to her.
“I heard many kindergartens have terrible food and there are news stories about teachers punishing kids.”
Wen Yang rubbed her head, “Just enjoy yourself and stop overthinking things.”
“Such an expensive kindergarten, they should at least get the basics right. Plus, didn’t you check it out before?”
Ning Chu softly acknowledged, deciding not to ruin their fun outing, and turned to bite down on Wen Yang’s bicep.
“What are you doing?!”
“Your muscles aren’t what they used to be; the texture isn’t as good as before.”
Wen Yang winced and pushed Ning Chu away, glancing at the bite mark on his arm, rolling his eyes, “I’ve been too busy with work; when would I have time to gym?”
“Can you manage today, then?”
Ning Chu looked at her husband with skepticism.
Back in their younger days, when they had free time, they could go at it two or three times a day, making her feel dizzy and unable to get out of bed for the rest of the day.
But after having a daughter, their frequency and intensity had inevitably decreased, making her doubt if Wen Yang could still perform like the male lead.
After all, she’s a succubus; she can handle anything, as long as she doesn’t get knocked out too quickly.
“Are you challenging me?”
As a man, he couldn’t stand being doubted in this area.
Seeing the serious look on his face, Ning Chu shyly averted her gaze, mumbling, “No way~”
That evening, she planned to visit Lily’s house for a bit and grab some skincare products on the way back, but she didn’t want to be so worn out she couldn’t even walk home, only to be carried back.
If Shu Jun spotted her like that, what a humiliation it would be!
Wen Yang’s hands were getting a bit restless, lightly biting her earlobe.
“Don’t be all touchy.” Ning Chu murmured as she struggled a bit, pushing away his big hand resting on her waist.
“I said to stop thinking about our daughter; are you looking to go back to kindergarten to check on her now?”
“Not that… just don’t touch my belly.”
Wen Yang’s hand stilled; he could vaguely feel the slight lines on Ning Chu’s lower abdomen.
Those were the stretch marks left from her pregnancy and childbirth. Even now, although they had faded and were hard to see with the naked eye, they were still discernible to the touch.
Lucky for Ning Chu, her skin had good elasticity, so the stretch marks weren’t many, but even so, they had become a source of anxiety for her.
“It’s fine; I don’t mind.” Wen Yang suggested, “Why not find a time for some beauty treatments? Laser treatments seem to be effective.”
“Maybe it’s better to skip it.”
Ning Chu shook her head, continuing to half-lie, half-relax in Wen Yang’s arms, enjoying the comfort of being enveloped by the hot spring.
Her mind was a jumbled mess. She initially thought they could have a day filled with fun and indulging, but now she couldn’t muster too many sultry urges in her head.
Wen Yang sensed her mood, and his wandering hands moved to her shoulders, massaging her fair neck.
“Let’s head back and pick up Shu Jun early.”
Ning Chu’s spirits immediately lifted, “Okay!”
“All that complaining, and you wilt when you’re away for just a bit.” Wen Yang sighed in exasperation, “You might as well just spend your days together, and I’ll stay out of it.”
“Are you seriously getting jealous of our daughter?”
“When I’m not home, I don’t see you missing me this much.”
Ning Chu turned around and caught a glimpse of his teasingly gentle smile, exclaiming softly, “You’re just pretending~”
“Oh no~ My heart’s shattered~ I need a kiss from my wife to feel better.”
“A big man acting this way? How disgusting! You’re giving me goosebumps.”
She couldn’t stop laughing, yet she turned around again, wrapping her arms around Wen Yang’s neck, her peach blossom eyes intently gazing into his.
A few minutes later, she anxiously fidgeted.
“Am I still the one who has to take the initiative?”
