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

Li Mo'er tossed the negotiation document to Chu Xiaohuan and pointed to his wound.

"Shall I help you change your dressing?"

Chu Xiaohuan wanted to change himself, but he didn't have the strength to sit up and couldn't see his wounds.

Seeing Chu Xiaohuan's hesitation, Li Mo'er explained, "I can change it for you with my eyes closed."

Chu Xiaohuan chuckled self-deprecatingly and shook his head gently, "You come."

He was now like a fish on a chopping board, completely at everyone's mercy. Even if Li Mo'er really wanted to do something, he couldn't stop her.

Before Li Mo'er could close her eyes, he closed his own first.

Li Mo'er took out the large thistles she had prepared from her basket, rubbed them with her hands to extract the juice, then closed her eyes and began to move step by step toward Chu Xiaohuan.

She tentatively moved forward step by step.

"Bam—"

"Hi~"

Li Mo'er kicked Chu Xiaohuan's wound on the waist, forcing him to open his eyes and look at the culprit.

Li Mo'er apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accidentally kicked you."

She crouched down, feeling around, and began to use the back of her hand to search for the wound on her chest.

Chu Xiaohuan watched her clumsy movements, a smile curving his lips and a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

With that blank look on his face, how could he possibly have any bad thoughts?

The sunlight shone on Li Mo'er's face, making her appear exceptionally gentle.

Chu Xiaohuan gazed quietly at Li Mo'er, finding her face inexplicably attractive.

Her hands kept groping his chest, and even though it wasn't the right time, she still got a damn aroused.

Chu Xiaohuan thought he had been holding back for too long. After all, at his age, his child should be six or seven years old, but because he was on the battlefield, he had not yet married.

When he returns to Kyoto, he will definitely find a woman, and if she is suitable, he will settle down with her.

However, Li Mo'er was still stirring things up for him. Chu Xiaohuan, who grew up in the military camp, should have been carefree, but he felt shy inside.

I've never felt this way before when I trained with women.

"Hmm~"

Li Mo'er's fingers touched the wound, and he couldn't help but groan softly.

Li Mo'er was so frightened that she immediately withdrew her hand, but she soon realized that the wound she had finally discovered now had to be found again.

So, after applying the medicine, fifteen minutes had passed.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Li Mo'er's nose. She hadn't been this tired even yesterday. She should have knocked him unconscious when she applied the medicine.

She laid out everything she had prepared for him in her basket, including the clothes, a bamboo tube of water, and some food in a food basket.

Looking at Chu Xiaohuan lying there unable to move, and then at the food she had brought, Li Mo'er began to worry about how to feed him.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to go out and find some stones to elevate his head so that it would be easier for him to eat.

Li Mo'er scanned the cave but found no stones, so she had no choice but to go out and look for them.

As she painstakingly searched for stones in the grass, she was startled speechless by an insect.

She sat there on the ground, afraid to move. The insect, about seven or eight centimeters long, was still standing upright on the ground. She felt nauseous; the insect was extremely disgusting.

She couldn't bear to look at it anymore and turned to leave. However, after taking a few steps, she stopped. The insect looked so much like cordyceps.

She glanced back furtively, and sure enough, the insect was still there, unchanged.

However, she really didn't want to dig it up now, afraid that the bug would suddenly come to life and crawl onto her hand.

We'll talk about it when she leaves; right now, the most important thing is to find the stone.

Having been frightened, Li Mo'er gave up on finding a flat rock and simply picked one up and went into the cave.

She placed the clothes on the stone, cushioning Chu Xiaohuan's head, and fed him some food.

Seeing Li Mo'er's serious expression, Chu Xiaohuan opened his mouth in response. Although he had difficulty swallowing, he still finished eating without any expression.

Li Mo'er had no idea that Chu Xiaohuan could only eat liquid food at the moment, so she fed him rice directly, and she even thought that Chu Xiaohuan was very happy eating it.

The two worked together very well, thanks to Chu Xiaohuan's excellent cooperation with Li Mo'er; he ate everything she fed him.

Only when Li Mo'er noticed that Chu Xiaohuan's cheeks were puffed out would she stop and wait for a while.

After feeding Chu Xiaohuan, Li Mo'er thoughtfully wiped the corners of his mouth before clearing away the dishes and leaving.

"Qian Duoduo, take these."

Chu Xiaohuan picked up the few gold leaves from the side, intending to give them to Li Mo'er as a reward.

Li Mo'er paused in her work, then merely glanced at it indifferently, "I'm not doing this for the money."

Although things appeared calm on the surface, a raging storm was brewing inside.

Indeed, she initially only wanted to save a person and didn't think about money, but it wouldn't have been impossible if she had money.

However, if she readily agreed when asked, wouldn't that make her seem superficial? So she deliberately pretended to be one.

Chu Xiaohuan hesitated upon hearing this. If she wasn't after money, then what was she after? Could it really be because of that letter?

If that's really the case, he needs to seriously consider whether he should keep Qian Duoduo around.

Chu Xiaohuan's eyes were filled with turbulent emotions. Countless thoughts of killing her had just surfaced in his mind when he suppressed them.

He always thought she wasn't that bad; after all, she hadn't opened the letter immediately when she first saw it.

If she wanted to save her own life, why would she save herself?

……

One reason after another kept emerging, all of them just excuses for Li Mo'er.

While he hesitated, Li Mo'er thought he didn't want to give it to her anymore. She didn't care about pretending anymore and quickly stepped forward to pick up a piece.

"Since you insist on giving it to me, I'll reluctantly accept it."

Although Li Mo'er appeared to refuse, the joy in her eyes was obvious.

"But I only need one; you can keep the rest."

Li Mo'er held up a gold leaf, squinting as she examined it in the sunlight, her eyes gleaming with golden light.

This gold leaf looks exquisitely crafted and is made of gold, so it's probably worth a lot of money. It should be enough for her to take over that shop, and maybe even pay back Doctor Wang's money.

She wanted to put the gold leaf in her mouth and bite it, but then she thought that such a beautiful gold leaf would be worthless if it were bitten.

Then, she took out the gold leaf, wiped it on her sleeve, and put it in her bosom.

Chu Xiaohuan looked at the silly Li Mo'er, his eyes slightly upturned. All she cared about was money; she was greedy yet adorable.

Li Mo'er waved to Chu Xiaohuan, then left contentedly with the gold leaf in her pocket.

She had only taken two steps when she stopped. She had come to collect herbs for Doctor Wang, but her basket contained no herbs other than the bowls and chopsticks in the food basket.

So, after much deliberation, she decided to endure her disgust and dig the worm back to Doctor Wang.
