Chapter 469 : A Divine Aura
“The last day of the holiday, huh~”
The thought of going back to school tomorrow made Ling Ning feel utterly drained. She wondered if there were any jobs where she could just stay home all day, earn money without stepping out, and not have to write.
If such a job existed, it would be perfect—spending her days nestled at home, going out only when bored. Now that would be an ideal life~
As Ling Ning sighed over her boredom, her daughter Ling Ye, still curled up in her embrace and sleeping, grumbled irritably and shifted slightly. “Mom, you’re so annoying. Why are you saying all this now?”
Imagine someone reminding you about school or work tomorrow while you’re enjoying a good nap—it’s easy to guess how frustrating that would feel.
Ling Ye was feeling just that kind of frustration. Why did her Mom have to break the harsh reality to her? She really didn’t feel like going to school. She had already learned everything the teachers taught and much preferred snuggling up in her Mom’s arms to sleep peacefully.
Plus, she could enjoy the softness of her Mom’s chest.
Ling Ning chuckled lightly. “Fair enough. Are you going out to play today, Ye Ye?”
“No… Ye Ye is spending the last day of the holiday in bed.”
“As expected of my daughter. You think just like your Mom!”
After saying that, Ling Ning hugged her daughter-pillow tighter and closed her eyes, ready to drift off again. Just as she was about to return to dreamland, the doorbell suddenly rang.
“Ye Ye, go see who it is~” Ling Ning gently nudged her daughter, making her intentions clear.
“Mom, you go yourself.”
Ling Ye didn’t budge, knowing exactly what her Mom was up to.
“But Mom’s leg is injured. Can you bear to watch me hobble over to the door? What if something happens on the way?”
“It’s such a short distance, though…”
Despite her protest, Ling Ye reluctantly sat up and glared at her lazy Mom before getting out of bed to answer the door.
Watching her daughter’s retreating figure, Ling Ning displayed a satisfied “mission accomplished” expression. Having a capable daughter was truly a blessing~
Outside the door, Su Ya waited, puzzled as to why the door remained closed despite her ringing the bell for so long. Had Ling Ning gone out? Or was she still asleep?
Given Ling Ning’s injured leg, going out seemed unlikely. She probably hadn’t gotten up yet.
As Su Ya debated whether to leave, the door suddenly opened, and she found herself facing Ling Ye, who looked at her with curiosity.
It took Ling Ye a moment to recall who the young woman in front of her was.
“Ye Ye, is your sister home?”
“My Mom’s still in bed.”
“In… in bed!?” Su Ya blinked in surprise. She hadn’t expected Ling Ning to still be sleeping. She couldn’t help but feel curious about what Ling Ning looked like when she was being lazy.
“Mm, if you’re looking for my Mom, just go straight to her room. I’m going back to sleep. Yawn~”
With that, Ling Ye turned and headed back to her room. Last night, she had stayed up late revisiting some “study materials,” losing track of time. By the time she finally went to bed, it was already very late.
Her intense focus on her studies had left her mind overly stimulated, making it difficult to sleep. After tossing and turning for over an hour, she had eventually crawled into her Mom’s bed, snuggling into her embrace to finally fall asleep.
Even though it was now almost ten in the morning, she still felt sleep-deprived. Her divine, sleepy aura made it clear just how exhausted she was.
Su Ya watched this unfold in a daze before glancing at Ling Ning’s bedroom door.
Because Ling Ye had just answered the door, the bedroom door wasn’t fully closed, only slightly ajar.
After some hesitation, Su Ya walked up to the door and gently pushed it open. What greeted her was the sight of Ling Ning lying sprawled out on the bed without a care in the world.
Without her daughter-pillow, Ling Ning had wrapped her long legs firmly around the blanket. The hem of her nightgown had ridden up slightly, revealing just a hint of her adorable cat-themed panties from Su Ya’s vantage point.
Sensing something, Ling Ning murmured groggily, “Ye Ye, are you back from the door? Come cuddle with Mom!”
“T-that… Ling Ning!?”
The familiar voice jolted Ling Ning awake. Opening her eyes, she saw Su Ya standing at the door, looking at her.
“Xi… Xiao Ya!? When did you get here!? Where’s Ye Ye!?”
“I… I just arrived. Ye Ye seemed to have gone back to her room to sleep,” Su Ya replied, smiling mischievously at Ling Ning. She hadn’t expected to see such a sleepy, disheveled side of her. Coming here today had definitely been the right choice.
“Ugh, Ye Ye opened the door and went straight back to sleep without even calling me. So inconsiderate,” Ling Ning grumbled under her breath before looking at Su Ya, slightly embarrassed. “Xiao Ya, please wait in the living room. I’ll be out in a moment.”
“Mm.”
Su Ya gave Ling Ning a meaningful glance before quietly leaving for the living room. For a moment, she entertained a wild idea of tying Ling Ning up and… doing this and that, taking photos, and turning her into a "hot weapon."
Shaking her head vigorously, she chased the absurd thought away. Why was her mind always filled with “study material” ideas whenever she saw Ling Ning!?
That “study material”… Ever since she had opened it, she had been utterly addicted, spending most of the National Day holiday holed up in a solo booth at an internet café “studying.”
She didn’t know why she was so drawn to it, but the “study material” seemed to have an irresistible charm. She just couldn’t control herself.
If not for the makeup she had put on today, it would have been obvious from her divine aura that she had stayed up late “studying” again last night.

A perfectly good holiday wasted on writing at home… Such a pity…
