Trapped In Paradise
Volume 3 Chapter 52 / Chapter 557: Moving Toward Becoming a Qualified Wife
Ning Chu—who normally never touched alcohol—had gotten herself half-drunk.
She cupped her burning cheeks in both hands, happily swishing her tail as her unfocused, dreamy eyes stared straight at Wen Yang.
She had deliberately opened her peach-blossom eyes wider, trying to make the double images in front of her come into focus. Instead, it only made her look even more dazed and adorable, like a silly little cat.
Perhaps Ning Yuan, acting as the "father" who wanted to vent his anger over having his little sister taken away, kept finding all sorts of excuses to clink glasses with Wen Yang throughout dinner.
"Brother-in-law, may you two grow old together! Cheers!"
"Come on, wishing you an early child! Cheers!"
"Come, come! You two are a match made in heaven. One more!"
Wen Yang didn't try to refuse. Before long, Ning Yuan had drunk him into a dizzy stupor, yet he still forced himself to keep going.
Ning Chu finally couldn't stand it anymore and cast a resentful look at her brother.
"Bro, stop picking on Wen Yang."
Her voice had turned husky from the alcohol, and her lazy tone sounded almost coquettish.
"Mom~ Aren't you going to do something about him?"
Ning Yuan's raised glass froze in midair. He awkwardly lowered it and muttered, "You've only just gotten married, and you already know how to protect your husband."
"Well, aren't you the one bullying him...?"
Ning Chu yawned repeatedly. With the alcohol going to her head, the sleepiness had become overwhelming. If she hadn't been supporting her cheeks with both hands, she might have already tilted her head and fallen asleep on the table.
"Ning Chu."
Lily, sitting beside her, poked her in the arm. Since most of the people at the table were strangers, she spoke so quietly that she was almost impossible to hear.
"When are you planning to have children?"
"In a few years, maybe? By then, you might still be single."
Lily replied with a straight face, "No one knows what the future holds."
"Why don't we sleep together tonight?" Ning Chu tilted her head and leaned against Lily's shoulder. "It's getting late, and it wouldn't be good for you to stay alone at a hotel."
"Wen Yang...?"
"Let him sleep on the sofa~"
Lily's eyes curved like crescents. "So your wedding night belongs to me?"
"It's not like we had an actual wedding, and Wen Yang drank so much. His dick definitely won't be able to rise up tonight."
"..."
After drinking, Ning Chu seemed to have completely lost any sense of embarrassment. She dared to tell Lily anything. Fortunately, they were speaking quietly, and no one else could hear the two succubi whispering to each other.
"You have no idea. Right after we got our marriage certificate, Wen Yang dragged me to a hotel and had his way with me for half the day. I'm still sore even now~"
Black Bean hugged her cup and noisily gulped down coconut juice, her cat ears perked high with curiosity.
"That hotel had one of those special chairs~ Super naughty! I'd only ever seen one in hentai before."
Lily was immediately intrigued. "What kind?"
The two succubi excitedly leaned close and whispered to each other. Black Bean curiously perked up her ears and tried to eavesdrop—until her mother slapped a hand down on her head, pressing both cat ears flat.
Black Bean looked up innocently.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"They're whispering. Why are you listening in? Cover your ears."
"I don't even understand what they're saying anyway~"
Seeing the blush on her face, Ning Juan rolled her eyes. But Black Bean's attention was quickly drawn to the bottle of baijiu in front of her mother. She secretly stretched out a paw, dipped one fingertip into it, and immediately put her finger in her mouth.
The fiery burn of the liquor instantly exploded across her tongue.
Black Bean's fur practically stood on end. She let out a strange cry, panting and sticking out her tongue. Then she grabbed the entire carton of coconut juice and gulped down several mouthfuls before finally recovering. There were even two tears hanging at the corners of her eyes.
"You insisted on drinking when I told you not to," Ning Juan sighed helplessly. "Don't you know that curiosity killed the cat?"
Black Bean's commotion interrupted Ning Chu and Lily's whispered conversation. Ning Chu looked over and said with amusement, "Why are you trying that? Not even I can handle baijiu."
"Sis~" Black Bean looked at her pitifully.
Since Black Bean had brought this misery upon herself, Ning Chu couldn't be bothered to pay her much attention. She turned her gaze back to Wen Yang.
Wen Yang was practically about to collapse. His face was bright red, his brow tightly furrowed. He could barely sit upright, and his movements had become slow and stiff. He seemed completely drunk out of his mind.
Ning Chu felt a little sorry for him.
"Mom, should I take Wen Yang back first?"
"We're basically done eating anyway." Ning Juan turned toward the waiter standing at the entrance to the private dining room and waved. "Pack the rest up!"
Technically, this meal should have been paid for by Ning Chu and Wen Yang, the newlywed couple. But Ning Chu was too worried about Wen Yang's condition. She shakily pushed herself up from the table and hurried over to his side.
"Wen Yang? Wen Yang?"
She gently patted his shoulder twice, but there was no response.
"Bro, why did you have to force Wen Yang to drink so much?" She glared angrily at Ning Yuan beside her. "Didn't I tell you earlier to stop drinking with him?"
My little sister is scolding me...
Ning Yuan felt a sharp pain in his heart.
As far as he could remember, aside from the occasional childish quarrels they had when they were young, Ning Chu rarely ever got genuinely angry with him. Most of the time, they only teased and bickered with each other. After all, they had grown up sleeping in the same bed and had always been very close.
Ning Yuan started to defend himself, saying, "Later on, he was the one who got excited and kept dragging me into drinking with him..." But when he saw the anger in his little sister's eyes, he ultimately accepted the blame.
"I'll take responsibility for carrying him back. He'll be fine after sleeping it off."
"He drank so much baijiu! Aren't you afraid you'll drink him straight into the hospital?"
Ning Yuan nodded bitterly.
Ning Chu: "Later, when we have the wedding, you'll have to help him block the drinks. He's got a friend who'll definitely try to force him to drink himself to death."
. . .
Everyone in the group except Lily had been drinking. Although Ning Juan's boyfriend and Ning Yuan had both driven there, they ultimately left their cars behind and took taxis home.
Ning Yuan carried Wen Yang, who had practically turned into a limp puddle, while Ning Chu carefully supported him from the other side.
After taking the elevator up to their apartment, Black Bean rushed ahead and unlocked the door with her fingerprint.
"Sis, where's Brother-in-law sleeping tonight?"
"On the sofa, I guess? Better than having him throw up all over the bed."
After entering the apartment, Ning Chu's head was throbbing. She dropped onto the sofa, clutching her head and leaning to one side while suppressing the nausea.
She had never drunk this much in her life.
"Lily, that's my room." She still remembered to take care of her guest, pointing toward the second bedroom. "You can wear my pajamas. There are towels and a toothbrush in the bathroom cabinet..."
"I'll go get them for Sis!" Black Bean eagerly darted off. "I'm sleeping with you guys tonight too!"
After resting against the sofa for a while, Ning Chu stood up, picked up a trash bin, and walked to the other end of the sofa to look after Wen Yang, who was lying there.
"Why did you drink so much? You're going to feel miserable tomorrow."
Wen Yang, who had barely moved until then, seemed to hear her muttering. He opened his eyes and weakly shifted his body.
"I was happy today..."
"Even if you're happy, you can't drink like this."
"Wife... water."
"I'll get you some."
Ning Chu hurried toward the kitchen, but she was so dizzy that she nearly walked straight into the wall.
Ning Juan, looking completely helpless, stopped her.
"Enough. Go take a shower and get some sleep. Leave Wen Yang to your brother. The two of them are sleeping in the living room anyway."
"But... I should do it."
Ignoring her mother's advice, Ning Chu supported herself against the wall and walked straight into the kitchen. She carefully brought back a cup of warm water. Returning to Wen Yang's side, she crouched in front of the sofa and, with a worried expression, helped him take off his shoes and socks.
Ning Juan stood with her arms crossed, watching her daughter's face, which was also flushed red from the alcohol, and let out a sigh.
Her daughter had learned how to take care of someone, too.
She was gradually becoming a qualified wife.
In the past, Ning Juan would never have imagined seeing a scene like this.
