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

"Ah Cen, after a while, I will marry you."

Li Mo'er gazed at Shen Zicen with deep affection, raised his hand, and kissed the back of his hand.

"But, but, my..."

Shen Zicen shook his head, just as he was about to tell Li Mo'er about his condition, Shen Liu walked in quickly carrying a food basket.

"Madam Li, I've put breakfast on the table."

The whole thing took no more than ten seconds. If it weren't for the food basket on the table, Li Mo'er would have doubted whether he had actually been there.

Shen Zicen was interrupted, and he finally mustered up the courage to tell Li Mo'er the truth.

No, he had to press on, otherwise he would definitely be too scared to speak up next time.

"Mo'er, I..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Li Mo'er got up to fetch the porridge.

"Drink it quickly, or it will get cold."

Shen Zicen glanced at the plain white porridge in the bowl, which had nothing added to it, and was a little puzzled. Mo'er wanted to eat it today, so why was it plain white porridge?

My brother cares for Li Mo'er much more than I do, how could he treat Mo'er so badly?

Li Mo'er handed the bowl to Shen Zicen, intending for him to drink it himself.

Drink it quickly from the bowl, otherwise this warm porridge will get cold.

Shen Zicen looked at the bowl in front of him and pouted. Mo'er really had no patience for him anymore; she wasn't feeding him today.

He raised his head and stared straight at Li Mo'er without saying a word.

Li Mo'er was defeated by him; she knew what he meant without even having to guess.

This means she's being fed spoonful by spoonful; what else can we do but spoil her?

Li Mo'er held the spoon to Shen Zicen's lips. Although Shen Zicen opened his mouth and drank it, he still felt that Mo'er was just being perfunctory and didn't even blow on it for him.

If Li Mo'er knew what he was thinking, she would definitely cry out that he was wronged, because the porridge would get cold if he blew on it any longer.

Shen Zicen only drank a few mouthfuls of the porridge before stopping.

Li Mo'er looked at the fact that there was even more left than yesterday and felt puzzled.

Could it be that her cooking skills are bad? That's impossible; Su Yanli always drinks it all.

"Did I cook it badly? Or was it too cold?"

Li Mo'er wiped Shen Zicen's mouth and asked in confusion.

Shen Zicen was so surprised by the question that he forgot to respond. He never expected that this was porridge that Li Mo'er had cooked for him herself.

It turns out she got up so early to cook porridge for herself, and she even hit her.

Li Mo'er looked at the remaining porridge and frowned regretfully, "Then we'll just have to throw it away."

She must have eaten a full meal before coming here, otherwise this little bit of porridge would have been no problem for her.

When Shen Zicen saw that he was about to take the porridge away, he quickly snatched it from her hands and wolfed it down without even using a spoon.

After finishing his meal, he handed the empty bowl to Li Mo'er, his expression clearly seeking praise.

Li Mo'er patted his head encouragingly, "A-Cen is great!"

Li Mo'er put the bowl on the table and told Shen Zicen that she was going out today.

She wasn't in the shop yesterday, so she has to go check on her today. Also, Ah Cen's condition is much better now.

Shen Zicen leaned on Li Mo'er's shoulder, secretly extended his finger, gently hooked Li Mo'er's hand on the bed, and slowly shook it.

"Can't you spend more time with me?"

Li Mo'er grasped his hand in return, their fingers intertwined. "I'll just be out for a little while, I'll be right back."

Shen Zicen knew that Li Mo'er must have her own things to do, but he...

Shen Zicen sat up straight, looking serious, and mentally prepared himself before speaking.

You'll have to face it sooner or later, so you might as well tell her now.

"Mo'er, I have something to tell you."

Li Mo'er noticed his seriousness and sat up straight as well.

Shen Zicen's heart pounded wildly. He placed his hands between his legs, hardened his heart, closed his eyes, and blurted out, "This place is ruined."

???

Li Mo'er was full of questions. She hadn't seen Shen Zicen let go, so she didn't know what he was talking about.

"Actually, Wang Xian saw me naked, so I'm not clean anymore. She even..."

Li Mo'er covered Shen Zicen's mouth. Even though his tone was unusually calm, she didn't want to listen. She knew that Zicen was reopening her wounds.

"Stop talking, and..."

Just as Li Mo'er was about to stop him, Shen Zicen interrupted her.

He pulled Li Mo'er's hand away from his mouth. "Mo'er, listen to me, okay?"

Li Mo'er nodded, pulled Shen Zicen into her arms, and listened quietly to him speak.

"She drugged me, touched me, and even kissed me..."

As she recalled this, Shen Zicen's body trembled involuntarily with fear.

Li Mo'er could only hold him even tighter.

"Later, when I woke up, I was already at home," Shen Zicen said, her voice trembling with tears.

"I kept washing, not missing a single spot, I just wanted to make myself as clean as possible."

Shen Zicen secretly wiped away her tears and continued her story.

"I don't know, I don't know how the antidote works, maybe, maybe..."

At this point, Shen Zicen was completely unable to continue speaking.

Li Mo'er cupped his tear-streaked face and looked at him earnestly, "I helped you take the medicine; she didn't do anything."

Shen Zicen thought Li Mo'er was trying to comfort him, "I know, Mo'er, you don't need to lie to me."

Li Mo'er continued, "It was me! I put you in cold water to counteract the drug. It was also me! I did that beast Wang Xian like that. Do you understand?"

Shen Zicen's mind went completely blank. He had always thought that Wang Xian had done something to him, but he never expected that it wasn't her.

Shen Zicen excitedly hugged Li Mo'er. He thought, he thought...

Li Mo'er also raised her hand to comfort him, but her hand accidentally brushed against Xiao A'cen.

"hiss--"

The voice was very soft, but Shen Zicen was right next to her ear, so how could she not hear it?

Shen Zicen pounded on Li Mo'er's back like a madwoman, "Why didn't you tell me sooner? Why?"

Then, he hugged Li Mo'er's neck tightly and whispered, "It's good that it's you."

Li Mo'er, on the other hand, was thinking about the sound that A-Cen had just made.

Considering his actions last night, and his earlier statement about "not letting any place go unchecked," she finally understood what he meant by "ruined."

However, she didn't rush to ask, after all, she had just told Ah Cen such a big thing, and he needed a while to process it.

She didn't say a word as Shen Zicen vented his anger on her, even wiping his tears on her clothes.

Once Shen Zicen had finally calmed down, she put her arm around him and spoke slowly.

"Little A-Cen, he..."

"Ok?"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Zicen looked up at her in response, thinking that Li Mo'er was calling him.

Li Mo'er pressed his head back onto her shoulder. "He wasn't calling you, he was talking about him."

Li Mo'er pointed to Xiao A'cen's location and added, "Xiao A'cen."
