Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

"Ah Cen, why don't you move into the manor tomorrow and live with Yan Li and the others?"

When sending Su Yanli and her son back, Qian Duoduo made a suggestion.

Shen Zicen didn't hesitate and nodded obediently.

Niannian clapped her hands happily, so that she could see her brother more often.

When Qian Duoduo waved goodbye to Su Yanli and the others, the sun had not yet set, and Qian Duoduo took Shen Zicen and Niannian around.

After all, she was going to see Shen Ziche tomorrow, so she wanted to spend some quality time with them now.

"Father A-Cen~"

Niannian carefully beckoned to Shen Zicen, signaling him to come closer.

Niannian whispered mysteriously in Shen Zicen's ear, "Mom's handwriting is even uglier than mine. My brother scolded her today."

Shen Zicen gave Qian Duoduo a meaningful look, imagining Duoduo being scolded by Yunzhi, and then nodded with a smile.

Qian Duoduo could tell from their expressions and the way they were secretly watching her that they were talking to her.

She didn't care at all, mainly because even if she did care, she couldn't change anything; she couldn't exactly chase after Niannian all over the street.

The three people walked hand in hand down the street, looking harmonious and happy.

As she passed Feihua Pavilion, Qian Duoduo paused for a moment, wondering if Shen Ziche was still inside.

Although it was only a momentary difference, Shen Zicen still felt it.

He squeezed Qian Duoduo's hand tightly. "Do you want to go in and see my brother?"

Qian Duoduo shook her head. She had endured it for so many days, so she would just have to endure it for one more night. She was just a little worried about his condition.

As the three were leaving, Shen Ziche happened to be standing at the second-floor window looking down.

Qian Duoduo and the others instantly caught Shen Ziche's attention.

Shen Ziche stared at the three figures as they walked away, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

He seemed to be hallucinating; he saw Ah Cen walking with that woman.

As he was about to turn around, he noticed Nian Nian standing next to Shen Zicen.

He couldn't possibly be mistaken; it was definitely Nian Nian, and he was the one who bought that little outfit for her.

Shen Ziche hurriedly went downstairs. He wanted to verify something, or rather, he didn't need to verify it; the truth was right in front of him.

He trusted A-Cen and knew that A-Cen would never betray Qian Duoduo, so the person standing next to him at this moment was Qian Duoduo.

She has come back.

Shen Ziche's heart was pounding uncontrollably, and even his legs felt weak as he went downstairs.

But he still gripped the handrail tightly and hurried downstairs to catch up with them.

……

"Duoduo, I forgot to return the ointment to Doctor Wang."

When Shen Zicen went out today, she specially brought a bottle of ointment with her, intending to send it back to Doctor Wang.

After having a meal, I completely forgot about it.

He originally planned to return it tomorrow, but since it was still early and he had nothing to do back home, he decided to just deliver it directly.

Qian Duoduo had no objections; he was simply taking a stroll.

When they arrived at Jishetang, Shen Zicen told Qian Duoduo and the others to wait outside while she went in alone.

Shen Zicen intended to go and return quickly, but unexpectedly, he was held up by Doctor Wang.

Meanwhile, outside the door, Qian Duoduo and Niannian were looking at each other with dislike.

"Niannian, did you secretly talk badly about me to Father Acen?"

Niannian turned her head away, not wanting Qian Duoduo to see her guilty little expression.

"No, I haven't."

Qian Duoduo looked incredulous. "I heard everything."

Hearing Qian Duoduo's certainty, Niannian turned around to refute her, "Impossible, I..." she said in a very soft voice.

Before she could finish speaking, Niannian saw Shen Ziche not far away.

"Ache's father?"

Niannian's voice suddenly became softer, and Qian Duoduo didn't hear what she said clearly for a moment, so she thought she said "Achen's father".

Qian Duoduo patted her head, "Your father, A-Cen, will be out soon. I will definitely ask him myself."

The first half of the saying is "a loving mother and a filial son," while the second half is "gritting one's teeth in hatred."

But when Qian Duoduo saw that Niannian didn't react, she followed her staring gaze.

It was a figure just like Shen Zicen, only thinner. A gentle breeze brushed against his clothes, as if it could carry him away at any moment.

"Ache?"

Qian Duoduo could hardly believe it; she just stood there, stunned.

Shen Ziche's eyes welled up with tears instantly; he knew it was her.

Those clear eyes, that gentle voice—that's his Duoduo.

Shen Ziche walked towards Qian Duoduo with trembling excitement. Qian Duoduo looked at his frail appearance and worried that he would fall, so she quickly stepped forward as well.

"Duoduo, I miss you so much."

Shen Ziche held Qian Duoduo tightly in his arms, his voice choked with emotion.

The moment Shen Ziche's hands touched Qian Duoduo, he couldn't hold back his tears any longer, and they streamed down his face.

Shen Ziche held Qian Duoduo and sobbed, expressing his longing for her.

Niannian blinked her big eyes and stared at the two of them from the side.

Shen Ziche noticed Niannian's gaze and wiped away his tears in embarrassment.

"Niannian, go and tell Father A-Cen that Mother was taken away by Father A-Che."

Without waiting for Niannian's response, he pulled Qian Duoduo back to Feihua Pavilion.

Shen Ziche looked weak, but because he was afraid that Qian Duoduo would leave, he gripped Qian Duoduo's wrist with extra force.

Qian Duoduo looked at Shen Ziche, who was rushing forward without looking back, and quickly turned around to wave to Niannian.

"Niannian, go find Daddy A-Cen!"
