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

After spending some time with Li Mo'er, Shen Zicen and Li Mo'er returned to their own rooms on their own.

Before leaving, he reminded Li Mo'er to go and see Su Yanli.

Li Mo'er sighed, looked up at the stars in the sky, and then went into Su Yanli's room.

Su Yanli was already fast asleep, so Li Mo'er decided to extinguish the candles.

However, just as she blew out the candle, she heard Su Yanli's murmur.

"You're not her! Where is she?"

Li Mo'er hurriedly tried to reach his bedside in the dark, but there was no light in the room, only a little moonlight from outside the window.

"Bam—"

Li Mo'er didn't see the stool on the ground and accidentally bumped her knee.

The sound was loud, and her knee was already bruised.

But she didn't stop. Instead, she went straight to Su Yanli's bedside and comforted him.

“Yanli, Yanli, I am here.”

Su Yanli seemed to calm down upon hearing Li Mo'er's voice.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Li Mo'er lit the candles again.

This time, Li Mo'er clearly saw that he was frowning and looking flustered.

She was about to wake Su Yanli when she saw him shaking his head, repeatedly saying, "Impossible, impossible."

The voice sounded like the despair of someone who had been abandoned, and Li Mo'er didn't know what he was saying.

But soon, Su Yanli gave his answer, his voice on the verge of collapse.

"Mo'er said she wouldn't leave me."

When Li Mo'er heard that it was related to her, she quickly comforted Su Yanli, "I'm here, I've always been here."

Upon hearing Li Mo'er's voice, Su Yanli immediately woke up. When he saw Li Mo'er's face, he first shrank back, but when he saw the tenderness in her eyes, he completely relaxed.

Su Yanli hugged Li Mo'er tightly, her voice hoarse, "I dreamt that you left."

Li Mo'er gently took Su Yanli's hand and placed it on her face, "Look, I'm still here."

Su Yanli wanted to tell her that this wasn't how she left, but that she had become a different person, but he also knew that Mo'er wouldn't believe him even if he told her.

Li Mo'er wiped the sweat from his forehead with her sleeve. Su Yanli was so insecure right now, as if he always felt that he would leave.

Su Yanli held Li Mo'er's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

But soon, he slowly closed his eyes.

Li Mo'er sat on the edge of the bed, feeling a piercing pain in her knees.

She had been so worried about Su Yanli that she hadn't felt the pain, but now that she had some free time, the pain was indescribable.

Afraid of waking Su Yanli, she gently rubbed her injured knee with her other hand.

She gently lifted her trouser leg and found only some slight bruising, which she estimated would be almost completely healed by tomorrow.

If Shen Ziche and the others see me limping tomorrow, they probably won't want to go back.

About fifteen minutes later, Li Mo'er saw that Su Yanli was fast asleep. She carefully withdrew her hand, intending to extinguish the candle again.

However, just as she pulled her hand away, Su Yanli woke up with a start, his hand grabbing Li Mo'er's clothes.

Li Mo'er felt a pulling sensation from behind and immediately stopped.

Seeing Su Yanli looking at her with a hurt expression, Li Mo'er quickly took his hand again.

"Sweetie, I'll come back to be with you after I put out the candles."

Upon hearing this, Su Yanli released his grip, but his eyes remained fixed on Li Mo'er's figure.

He didn't completely relax until Li Mo'er lay down beside him.

Li Mo'er reached out and put her arm around Su Yanli, gently patting his back like she was comforting a baby.

Su Yanli was nestled in Li Mo'er's arms, surrounded by Li Mo'er's scent.

Su Yanli fell asleep with her head on Li Mo'er's arm. Li Mo'er didn't dare to pull her arm away, afraid that if she moved, Su Yanli would wake up.

Su Yanli nestled in Li Mo'er's arms and slept through the entire night.

This time, he didn't have nightmares again, because he knew clearly that Li Mo'er was right beside him.

next morning

Li Mo'er woke up early and wanted to send Shen Ziche and the others back to the town.

She glanced down at Su Yanli in her arms, gently lifted his head with one hand and placed it on the pillow, then pulled her arm away.

She gently rubbed her arm; the blood circulation had been poor all night, and it was completely numb. As for her knee, it was still a little bruised, but it didn't hurt anymore.

Stepping out of the room, she found that Shen Ziche and the others had already gotten up and were waiting for her.

After quickly washing up, Li Mo'er went to the town with them.

Before leaving, she specifically instructed Wang Jingmo to keep an eye on Su Yanli and to tell him that she would be back soon if he woke up.

She originally wanted to ask Doctor Wang to inform Su Yanli, but Doctor Wang went to the back mountain to collect herbs this morning and hasn't returned yet.

Li Mo'er took Shen Ziche and the others back to the town and had breakfast with them.

When they parted at the gate of the Shen residence, Shen Zicen looked at Li Mo'er with teary eyes, as if she were someone who had abandoned her husband and children.

Worried that Shen Zicen might lose control of his emotions, Shen Ziche quickly pulled him back to the Shen residence.

Shen Zicen looked at Li Mo'er, who was walking away, with a resentful expression. "Brother, do you think Li Mo'er might have forgotten about us in the next few days?"

Shen Ziche didn't expect A-Cen to overthink things so easily, so he firmly told him, "No, Mo'er isn't that kind of person."

Throughout the day, Shen Zicen kept asking questions, but Shen Ziche eventually stopped paying attention.

When Li Mo'er returned to Li Family Village, she stopped by the shop to take a look, worried that Li Lin might not be able to handle things on his own.

When Li Lin saw Li Mo'er come in, he quickly said, "Sister Mo'er, a few days ago, quite a few people came to me to sign contracts, and I signed them all."

Li Lin found the contracts he had signed in the past few days and showed them to Li Mo'er as if to show off.

Li Mo'er looked at the stack and was somewhat shocked. How could there be so many?

Li Mo'er looked through the pages and noticed something was wrong, so she frowned.

Seeing Li Mo'er's expression, Li Lin quickly explained, "Sister Mo'er, I had Shen San help me look at these contracts. They are exactly the same as the one Brother Su signed at the beginning, so I signed them."

Li Mo'er now realizes that these contracts are all exactly the same, which is why something seems off.

They don't belong to the same store, so how could their contracts be the same?

"Sister Mo'er, did I do something wrong?"

Seeing that Li Mo'er hadn't spoken for a long time, Li Lin felt uneasy. She stood there awkwardly, clutching the hem of her clothes.

However, she couldn't figure out why she was so frightened by Li Lin, who was such a strong man, and she quickly explained.

"It's alright, the contracts are all fine, it's just that we might not have that much coarse salt left."

Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and his back straightened up a bit more than before.

"Sister Mo'er, leave this to me. I'll go find the suppliers."

Li Mo'er patted her shoulder with satisfaction; Er Gouzi could finally stand on his own.

After leaving the shop, Li Mo'er didn't linger in the town and returned to Li Family Village.

On her way back, she saw a lot of soldiers leaving Lijia Village. There were about twenty of them, and they all looked fierce and menacing, as if they were there to seek revenge.

As she passed the village entrance, she vaguely heard the old men saying that the soldiers had come to look for someone.

Li Mo'er was puzzled. Why would they come to Li Family Village to look for someone? But if they could mobilize so many soldiers, this person must be extraordinary.
