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

As he approached the door, Shen Ziche scrutinized Li Mo'er, feeling that something was missing.

Ah! He finally realized what was missing!

Shen Ziche took out a veil from his pocket and handed it to Li Mo'er, "Put it on quickly, I'll go in and take a look first."

After saying that, he went inside, leaving Li Mo'er staring blankly at the veil in her hand.

"Ah Cen?"

Shen Ziche walked to A-Cen's bedside and saw that his eyes were lifeless.

His heart skipped a beat, and he was about to say something to him when he heard Shen Zicen open his mouth, but he couldn't hear what he said.

Shen Ziche leaned down and put his ear to his mouth, hearing his hoarse voice.

"I want to take a shower."

These past two days, that nightmare has been recurring. In the dream, every time he tries to run away, he gets caught and brought back by Wang Xian...

He closed his eyes and shed a tear. Every time he woke up from a dream, it reminded him of his filth.

He wanted to be clean, so he could only take baths over and over again, trying to wash away those traces.

Shen Ziche turned his head and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. He patted A-Cen's shoulder and said, "A-Cen, someone wants to see you."

Shen Ziche wanted to tell him that Mo'er had come, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it.

Shen Zicen was completely oblivious to what her brother had said, lost in her own world.

When Li Mo'er came in and saw Shen Zicen lying on the bed, she felt a lump in her throat. As she approached, she saw that his face was pale and his lips had lost their color.

She tried to see more clearly, but her vision became blurry.

It wasn't until a drop of water fell on the back of her hand that she realized she had unknowingly started crying.

The once spirited young man now lies lifeless on his bed.

She wanted to reach out and touch him, but then remembered that he was somewhat misogynistic, so she withdrew her hand.

Startled by Li Mo'er's actions, Shen Zicen turned to look at her and then skillfully extended his wrist.

Shen Zicen assumed this person was another doctor her brother had found. She only glanced at him and, knowing he was a male doctor, didn't look at him again.

Li Mo'er saw that his outstretched wrist was also bruised. She gently lifted his sleeve and looked at the marks on his arm, her emotions unable to calm down for a long time.

Although she had already learned about A-Cen's situation these past few days from Shen Shi when she was outside the door.

Hearing him wake up from nightmares in the middle of the night, hearing about the bruises all over his body, hearing about his loathing of women to the point that he would vomit at the sight of one...

What shocked her even more were the scars on his body; she hadn't expected that even his wrists would have those red and swollen marks.

Shen Zicen sensed that the doctor hadn't actually taken his pulse; he had only glanced at him with a puzzled expression.

When he saw the man lift up his sleeve, he hurriedly withdrew his hand and put it under the blanket to cover himself completely.

"You can go now, I'm fine."

Although he was angry at the doctor's behavior, he didn't have the energy to argue with him.

Li Mo'er turned around, wiped away her tears, poured a glass of water at the table, and handed it to Shen Zicen.

However, Shen Zicen did not react at all. Li Mo'er saw his chapped lips and helped him up.

Shen Zicen tried to struggle, but he hadn't eaten for two days and had no strength at all, so he simply let her go.

Although he was puzzled as to why the doctor was so bold, he did not notice that there were only the two of them in the room. In the past, when there was a doctor, Shen Ziche would always stay by his side.

He only took two sips before shaking his head to signal the doctor, but Li Mo'er ignored him and fed him a few more sips after he shook his head.

Shen Zicen was somewhat annoyed this time. When he angrily looked up at Li Mo'er, he was stunned for a moment.

He opened his mouth, then murmured in confusion, "Mo'er?"

Just as Li Mo'er was frantically thinking of how to cover it up, she heard Shen Zicen's self-deprecating voice.

"How could it possibly be her?"

She really wanted to tell Shen Zicen that she was Li Mo'er, but she was afraid that if A-Cen knew she was a woman, he would get emotional.

She couldn't resist gently stroking his hair, as if to comfort him.

Since Shen Zicen thought that Li Mo'er was a stranger, he told her his feelings in detail.

"Doctor, do you know? That woman is the purest woman I've ever met. Even though I know she only loves my brother, I still fell for her..."

His eyes gleamed as he recounted these events, but he soon let out a long sigh.

He gave a slight smirk. "But now it's all right. She can just marry my brother. After all, I'm no longer good enough for her."

Li Mo'er wanted to tell him that it wasn't like that, but before she could speak, she saw Shen Zicen suddenly become agitated.

"It's all because of Wang Xian, that... cough, cough cough..."

Overwhelmed with grief and anger, he couldn't breathe for a moment and coughed incessantly.

Li Mo'er was so frightened that she quickly helped him up and gently patted his back.

She couldn't help but whisper, "It's alright. No matter what, you deserve it."

Shen Zicen seemed to suddenly realize something, and looked up at Li Mo'er. Just now, her voice really sounded just like Li Mo'er's.

However, looking at Li Mo'er's clothes and veil, he doubted himself again. She was a woman, how could she possibly wear men's clothes?

Li Mo'er was afraid that Shen Zicen would notice something was amiss, so she hugged him and gently stroked his head.

Shen Zicen felt an inexplicable sense of security in Li Mo'er's arms, and he took a deep breath.

This scent smells so familiar.

Li Mo'er watched Shen Zicen sniffle repeatedly, like a newborn puppy, as if searching for a familiar scent.

and many more!

familiar!

Li Mo'er's heart was filled with alarm bells. Could he have recognized her?

She cleared her throat and explained in a low voice, "My clothes got wet, so this is what Young Master Shen gave me to change into."

"Hmm~"

Shen Zicen buried himself in Li Mo'er's arms and replied sullenly.

"I thought you were Mo'er."

Li Mo'er heard the expectation and disappointment in his voice, and asked tremblingly, "You...you want me to be, don't you?"

Her heart was pounding in her chest, and even the hand that was stroking Shen Zicen's head stopped because of nervousness.

Shen Zicen did not reply, and Li Mo'er was too nervous to move.

It wasn't until Li Mo'er sensed it that the head in her arms nodded gently.

Her heart was pounding in her throat with excitement. She gently stepped back and cradled Shen Zicen's head in her hands.

Li Mo'er stared intently at Shen Zicen, her tone soft and careful, as if afraid of startling him.

"Ah Cen, look who I am."

Li Mo'er slowly removed her veil.

From the moment Li Mo'er said that, Shen Zicen's mind went blank. Now, seeing Li Mo'er's face, he could no longer suppress his emotions.

Tears flowed uncontrollably, and her face regained some color from joy.

Li Mo'er panicked when she saw him crying. She didn't dare to reach out and hug him anymore, afraid that now that A-Cen knew she was a woman, he would feel disgusted.

She was even prepared to get the jar, afraid that Shen Zicen would vomit.

She carefully observed Shen Zicen's expression, and as soon as she noticed something was wrong, she immediately went to get the jar and then let Shen Ziche come in.

Shen Zicen looked at Li Mo'er, who was standing motionless by the bed, and his eyes gradually dimmed from the initial joy.

Does Mo'er hate me too?

Thinking of this, his face turned deathly pale, even paler than when she first saw him.

Li Mo'er panicked completely. She hurriedly went to find the jar, but after taking only two steps, she heard a dull thud coming from the bedside.

"Mo'er, don't go."
