Chapter 468 : I Actually Like Sleeping Naked~
“It’s getting late. Chen Ruo, would you like to have dinner here before going home, or perhaps stay over? If you’re staying, we’d have to share a bed, you know.”
Ling Ning’s lips curled into a mischievous smile as she added, “By the way, Chen Ruo, I actually like sleeping naked at night.”
Hearing this, Chen Ruo’s face turned bright red. Her mind spun, unable to suppress the flood of ideas about Ling Ning’s supposed habit of sleeping naked!
“Pfft~”
Ling Ning couldn’t help but laugh aloud. Teasing Chen Ruo was just too much fun.
Seeing Ling Ning’s expression, Chen Ruo instantly realized she was being teased again. She pouted angrily, her face showing a “super scary” expression as she prepared to say something to reclaim her dignity. However, her phone suddenly rang.
The moment she heard the ringtone, Chen Ruo froze as if she had been petrified.
It was a call from her daughter. Did that mean her daughter had found out she sneaked out alone? Anxiety surged in her chest.
“Hello, dumb mom, where are you?”
“Well, I…”
Before Chen Ruo could reply, Ling Ning’s voice reached the ears of Lin Yue: “Hi there, Xiao Yue! Your mom is with me. If you want her back, bring the ransom to this address…”
Ling Ning then shared her home address.
“Huh? Why is my mom at your place? Wait for me—I’m coming over now!”
“I’ll be waiting~”
Chen Ruo stared at the phone in Ling Ning’s hand, completely baffled by her antics. Why was she saying such things?
Ling Ning chuckled. “My foot is still injured, so I can’t send you home, Chen Ruo. I had to trouble Xiao Yue to come over. I can’t let you walk home alone—I’d be too worried.”
Truthfully, Ling Ning was terrified of the idea of Chen Ruo wandering home and encountering something disastrous, like being transformed into a weapon by a burly bald man. For someone with such a poor sense of direction, it was essential to have a chaperone.
“Oh, right!” Ling Ning suddenly remembered something and casually handed a bag of spicy strips to Chen Ruo. “Want some spicy strips, Chen Ruo?”
“Yes!”
Without hesitation, Chen Ruo snatched the bag, opened it, and started munching. She had been so engrossed with Ling Ning earlier that she had forgotten about the spicy strips. Now, she resolved to finish the bag before her daughter arrived.
Watching Chen Ruo eat the spicy strips so enthusiastically, Ling Ning’s expression softened into one of indulgence. “Don’t eat so fast; no one’s going to take them from you. Besides, I think the flavor I bought is ‘super spicy.’”
“No problem! Spicy strips are only good when they’re spicy!”
Shaking her head helplessly, Ling Ning grabbed a tissue and walked over to Chen Ruo, gently wiping the corners of her mouth.
Startled by how close Ling Ning was, Chen Ruo blinked and allowed her to clean her mouth. For some reason, her heart started beating faster.
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
“That must be Xiao Yue. Should I get the door now?”
“W-wait! I’m almost done with the last strip!”
Ling Ning chuckled and walked leisurely to the door, waiting for Chen Ruo to finish her spicy strip before opening it.
Sure enough, it was Lin Yue at the door, slightly out of breath—she must have run over.
“Hey! Where are you hiding my mom?”
“Calm down. Why don’t you come in and sit for a bit first?”
Ling Ning opened the door wider to let Lin Yue in.
As soon as she stepped inside, Lin Yue spotted her mother sitting on the sofa, pretending to watch Animal World on TV. Since when did her mom like watching that? It was way too fake!
Knowing her mom well, Lin Yue was sure she had done something before she came in.
“Yo, Xiao Yue, you’re here.”
Chen Ruo turned around, trying to look as natural as possible, though she was still a bit nervous. Fortunately, she had erased all evidence of her activities, so there shouldn’t be any problems… probably.
Lin Yue squinted at her mom, sniffed the air slightly, and caught a whiff of spicy strips. Noticing her mom’s reddened lips, she instantly understood what had happened.
“My dear mom, no spicy strips for you tonight.”
“Huh? Why!?”
“Do I need to spell it out?”
Chen Ruo opened her mouth but then closed it, shaking her head in defeat. There was nothing left to say. As expected, her daughter had figured it out. Darn it! Living is all about spicy strips!
“Let’s go. We’re heading home.”
“Huh? Won’t you stay for a bit longer or have dinner here before leaving?”
“No need.”
Seeing Chen Ruo’s reluctant expression, Ling Ning smiled. “See you next time, Chen Ruo.”
“Goodbye, Ling Ning!”
After watching the mother and daughter leave, Ling Ning sat back on the sofa, feeling bored. She wondered why her daughter hadn’t returned yet. Xia You probably wouldn’t come back until after dinner.
Did this mean she would have to eat dinner alone? How dull.
As she shifted on the sofa, she suddenly lost her balance and fell to the floor with a thud. Luckily, she wasn’t injured—just a sore butt.
“Ouch!”
Rubbing her rear, Ling Ning frowned slightly in pain.
At that moment, she heard the sound of the front door opening, followed by her daughter’s voice: “I’m home~”
“Welcome back!”
Ling Ye looked toward the living room, puzzled by her mom’s voice. She finally spotted her mom lying on the floor in front of the sofa and panicked, thinking something had happened. She rushed over, only to realize her mom was just playing dead.
From her position, Ling Ning could see up her daughter’s skirt. Spotting her daughter’s panties, she couldn’t help but comment, “Ye Ye’s panties are amazing~”
“Pervert mom! Where are you looking!?”
“Uh…”
Ling Ning blinked, realizing she had accidentally voiced her thoughts aloud.
“Ahem! Don’t mind those details. Mom just fell off the sofa. Ye Ye, come and rub my butt for me~”
With that, Ling Ning turned onto her stomach, lying flat on the floor.
Staring at her mom’s rear, Ling Ye suddenly had a bold idea.
