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

Chapter 290: Just like the embraces of my fathers!

On the competition field, the two stood facing each other, bowed slightly to each other, and then Nian Nian launched an attack.

Qian Duoduo stared intently at the two of them and whispered in Shen Zicen's ear, "What if Niannian loses?"

Shen Zicen stood calmly to the side, seemingly unconcerned about who won or lost.

He even occasionally played with Qian Duoduo's fingers.

Shen Zicen shook his head, glancing casually at Niannian and Xiaodengzi, who were looking anxious.

He could tell that Niannian had been practicing her skills at the ancestral hall these past two days, and her body was still tense; it was just that this competition would be a bit more strenuous.

Seeing that Shen Zicen was only shaking her head and not saying anything, Qian Duoduo could only turn her gaze back to them.

Suddenly, Xiaodengzi threw a punch, and Niannian, unable to dodge in time, managed to take the blow.

However, Niannian was jolted backward by the impact.

Just as Qian Duoduo was about to step forward to help Niannian, Shen Zicen grabbed her hand.

"She can handle it."

Niannian looked up at the small stool, put on a serious face, and decided to give it her all.

After Nian Nian exerted her strength, Xiao Dengzi was able to hold on at first, but later, due to exhaustion, she was forced to retreat repeatedly by Nian Nian's attacks.

Suddenly, Nian Nian lost control of her strength and punched Xiao Deng in the chest.

The small stool lost its footing and fell straight backward.

When Niannian realized what was happening, she was about to pull out the small stool, but Qian Duoduo, who had been watching the battle closely, beat her to it.

Qian Duoduo hugged the small stool from behind, and she could feel the impact.

I never imagined that such a small girl like Niannian possessed such great energy.

Niannian watched as Qian Duoduo hugged the small stool, her little hands clenched tightly.

She didn't mean to.

Shen Zicen stepped forward and patted Niannian's little head, "Get ready, let's go to Yingkelou."

Niannian was a little unhappy; she felt that the two people hugging each other were particularly irritating.

I don't know why, maybe Qian Duoduo took her little stool.

Yes, that must be it. How could the little stool be so close to her?

"Are you okay?"

Qian Duoduo, holding a small stool, asked softly.

The little stool shook its head, its eyes sparkling with delight; it adored Qian Duoduo.

Qian Duoduo patted her hair and then gently placed her on the ground.

Qian Duoduo noticed Niannian standing opposite him and was about to go over and praise her when she saw Niannian walk away without looking back.

---

Along the way, Shen Zicen and Qian Duoduo held hands, while Niannian followed beside them, as if she were being isolated.

She was still sulking there.

Shen Zicen noticed her emotions but didn't say anything. He knew that Niannian didn't yet understand that emotion was called jealousy.

Upon arriving at the Guest House, before even stepping inside, Niannian bypassed the two women and rushed straight in.

"Godmother~"

Niannian hugged Wang Cheng's leg and acted coquettishly.

Wang Cheng smiled and picked up Niannian, "My dear daughter, what brings you here?"

She was about to say that she could bring her anything she wanted to eat, but before she could even speak, she saw two people holding hands at the door.

Wang Cheng glanced at Qian Duoduo, then fixed his gaze on the hands the two were holding.

Wang Cheng sized up Qian Duoduo with ill intent. Her disguise skills had reached a new level; she had already fooled several people.

Thinking of his employer in Kyoto, Wang Cheng decided to write to him.

That very evening, Wang Cheng sent out the letter, even having it delivered by fast horse.

The letter ended with only a few words:

Master, Li Mo'er has recently gained the trust of Su Lang and others by pretending to be someone else. Master, please be careful and do not fall for her trick.

Wang Cheng strongly suspected that she came only for free meals, and that she always brought a husband to show off in front of her.

Before Wang Cheng could even speak, the waiter already knew the procedure and led the two to a private room.

Niannian stayed downstairs to catch up with Wang Cheng.

"Niannian, what do you think of that woman?"

Niannian knew, of course, that the woman was Qian Duoduo. As if she had found an outlet, she began to complain to Wang Cheng.

She told Wang Cheng everything that had happened in the past few days, but of course she didn't mention that she had been locked up in the ancestral hall, otherwise she would have lost face.

Wang Cheng felt that only he and Niannian were still clear-headed and had not been bewitched by that woman.

“Then I will write a letter to my employer.”

When Niannian heard that she was going to tell her father, she frowned slightly, as if she didn't want her father to know what that woman had done.

She rolled her eyes. "Godmother, can we keep Father from knowing?"

Wang Cheng paused slightly, somewhat puzzled, "Why?"

After a moment's thought, Niannian finally spoke, "I don't want Father to worry about me."

Wang Cheng patted Niannian's head, "Good daughter."

Niannian didn't understand why this was happening; she just didn't want to hear her godmother talking about that woman anymore.

"Godmother, I want to go see the braised pork."

She kept trying to change the subject.

Wang Cheng didn't notice either, assuming she just liked braised pork, so he took her to the kitchen.

The front desk was quite busy, so Wang Cheng quickly went to attend to his duties, and Niannian returned to the private room by herself.

She pushed open the door and saw Shen Zicen leaning on Qian Duoduo's shoulder.

"Niannian's back? Come here, let Mommy give you a hug~"

Qian Duoduo reached out to Niannian, but Niannian just turned her head away, though she caught a glimpse of Shen Zicen's warning out of the corner of her eye.

She slowly walked towards Qian Duoduo, and as soon as she reached where Qian Duoduo's fingers touched, he pulled her into his arms.

Niannian didn't struggle; she just tucked her arms in and closed her eyes.

Hmm~ It's similar to the embrace of fathers, only softer and more comfortable!

It must be because she hasn't practiced martial arts regularly, that's why she's so weak.
