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

Chapter 295 Why don't you believe I can love you too?

Sulking, Qian Duoduo began to bury herself in practice.

She wasn't angry at Shen Zicen, but rather at herself for writing for so long and still not making it look good at all.

She has missed the pens of modern times countless times.

Qian Duoduo made up her mind to write well and show Yunzhi her progress tomorrow.

After finishing the accounts, Shen Zicen looked at Qian Duoduo, who was working hard, and felt that she was radiating confidence.

He guessed that Qian Duoduo must have practiced very well, so he quietly stood behind her and took a look, then quickly looked away.

This time, Qian Duoduo not only completed the task, but even exceeded it; she wrote two extra pages.

Qian Duoduo looked up and saw Shen Zicen, then showed off to him, "How is it? Isn't my writing pretty good now?"

Seeing her smug look, Shen Zicen couldn't bear to discourage her, but she also didn't want to lie to her, so she could only say, "It looks much better than before."

Qian Duoduo proudly raised her chin, "That's right, I'm going to give Yunzhi a surprise."

Looking at the current characters, Shen Zicen could barely make out which character they were; before, it was impossible to tell whether they were pictures or characters.

Shen Zicen couldn't help but feel sorry for Yunzhi; this was definitely a shock.

Qian Duoduo stood up excitedly, pulled Shen Zicen's head in front of her with one hand, and then kissed him hard on the cheek.

"I'm going to take a shower first. You go back to your room and wait for me."

Her voice was filled with excitement; she couldn't wait to see how surprised Yunzhi would be tomorrow.

Shen Zicen shook his head, turned and left the study; he didn't want to torture his eyes any longer.

After taking a shower, Qian Duoduo didn't go to find Shen Zicen immediately. Instead, she took a different route to check on Niannian.

She saw the flickering candlelight in the room, which must have been specially left for Niannian.

She should be asleep by now.

Qian Duoduo gently pushed open the door, tiptoed to the bedside, and looked at Niannian's chubby face, her delicate nose, and her thin lips...

Niannian's facial features are mostly like mine, so why can't her personality and temperament be like mine?

Qian Duoduo sighed, realizing that in the end, she was the one who had wronged them.

She gently brushed the stray hairs from Niannian's forehead and slowly stroked her face.

She could still tell that Niannian had changed somewhat towards her, but she was still somewhat wary.

As soon as Qian Duoduo placed her hand on Niannian's face, Niannian's eyelids twitched.

Qian Duoduo saw this and, worried that her actions would wake Niannian, covered her with a blanket and left.

As soon as she left, Niannian opened her eyes. She frowned as she watched Qian Duoduo's departing figure.

Actually, she woke up as soon as Qian Duoduo opened the door. It was mainly because she had eaten a lot today and hadn't been sleeping well.

Niannian touched the spot where Qian Duoduo had just stroked her, and for some reason, she felt a surge of joy.

Shen Zicen was sitting in front of the dressing table waiting for Qian Duoduo, but seeing that Qian Duoduo hadn't returned, he started to examine his scars.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but the scar didn't seem to have changed.

After he applied the medicine again, Qian Duoduo still hadn't returned.

Shen Zicen was getting bored sitting there, so he lay down on the bed, but then felt uncomfortable and sat up on the edge of the bed.

He was torn, unsure whether he should lie down.

As soon as Qian Duoduo pushed open the door, Shen Zicen reflexively lay down on the bed, closed her eyes tightly, and covered herself with the blanket.

His heart was pounding, even though he was already so close to Duoduo, his heart was still out of control.

When Qian Duoduo entered the room, she heard the bed shaking.

She leaned close to Shen Zicen's cheek and saw his eyelashes trembling slightly.

She feigned regret, "I didn't expect Ah Cen to be asleep already. I'll go find Niannian then."

Shen Zicen stopped pretending to be asleep and immediately opened her eyes, grabbing Qian Duoduo's clothes.

"Didn't you promise to stay with me?"

His voice was filled with resentment and grievance, but he was also very obedient, only grabbing it for a moment before letting go.

He knew that Niannian also needed to cultivate her relationship with Duoduo.

Just as Shen Zicen was about to turn around, Qian Duoduo grabbed him.

"You're awake, of course I want to stay with you~"

Qian Duoduo noticed that Shen Zicen was still wearing a veil, so she gently removed it.

"I don't need to wear a veil when I'm here."

Shen Zicen's eyes darted away because he had just applied the medicine, and the smell of it hadn't dissipated yet.

Although he used other fragrances to mask it, it was still detectable.

Qian Duoduo smelled the ointment as soon as she entered the room, but she didn't say anything.

Instead, he lay down next to Shen Zicen and stroked the scars repeatedly.

Shen Zicen was so frightened that his whole body stiffened, and the muscles on his face became stiff as well.

“Ah Cen, I’ve noticed that you’re even more attractive with this scar.”

Shen Zicen thought Qian Duoduo was joking; she was clearly ugly, so where did her charm come from?

But Qian Duoduo felt that the scar made Shen Zicen even more charismatic.

"Boom——"

As she spoke, Qian Duoduo kissed the scar.

Shen Zicen was startled and quickly covered his face.

"Duoduo, you can't kiss her."

Qian Duoduo was puzzled, but she simply took his hand and wrapped her legs around his waist.

His voice was deep and alluring, "Why not? Hmm~"

Shen Zicen didn't know how to put it. There was not only ointment on it, but also the fragrance he had applied to cover up the ointment.

He had no idea whether any of them contained toxic ingredients.

Qian Duoduo noticed his evasive gaze and felt his hands clenching tightly; he was nervous.

He was still worried that he would abandon him because of this scar.

She wanted him to be honest with her as soon as possible, otherwise Ah Cen would still be living in fear and constantly guessing.

"Ah Cen, I have a question for you."

Qian Duoduo fiddled with Shen Zicen's fingers. His fingers were slender and long. She looked at her own fingers and found them not only unattractive, but also covered in ink stains that hadn't been washed off.

Shen Zicen gave a stiff "hmm".

"If there were someone who looked exactly like me, would you like her?"

Exactly the same? Li Mo'er?

Is Duoduo suspecting that he has fallen for Li Mo'er?

Shen Zicen turned around excitedly to face Qian Duoduo and anxiously expressed her feelings, "No, I only like you."

Qian Duoduo pondered, "But she's very gentle, very smart, and... her handwriting is beautiful too... um~"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Zicen covered her mouth.

Shen Zicen gazed at Qian Duoduo with deep affection, her eyes glistening with tears, "No matter how good she is, I don't like her, I only..."

Qian Duoduo deliberately ignored the tears in Shen Zicen's eyes; she felt a pang of heartache.

She shook her head. "You can't possibly dislike her."

Shen Zicen didn't know why Qian Duoduo would say that; how could she not believe herself?

He was a little anxious, "I can prove it to you, I can also..." (He then went to the trouble of ripping out his heart.)

Qian Duoduo closed her eyes, not daring to look at Shen Zicen's expression. Hearing his broken voice, she couldn't bear it.

"But I've changed, I'm not good anymore."

Qian Duoduo's voice choked with emotion, and he let out a low growl as if venting his frustration.

"As long as Duoduo still has me in her heart, I will always love you."

Even if Duoduo doesn't love me, I will still love Duoduo.

Shen Zicen excitedly grasped Qian Duoduo's hand, afraid that if he let go, she would leave.

Qian Duoduo is acting unusually tonight.

Qian Duoduo pried open Shen Zicen's hand that was holding hers. With each pried hand, she could hear the sound of their hearts breaking.

"What if I become ugly, or have a long scar on my face?"

Seeing that Qian Duoduo's tears were also welling up, Shen Zicen didn't care about anything else and hugged Qian Duoduo tightly, letting her struggle.

"Then I will only love you, and that will never change."

Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo suddenly quieted down and stopped struggling.

Her voice was unusually calm, as if someone else had just broken down and lost their composure.

"Then why doesn't Ah Cen believe that I can love you too?"
