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

Chapter 284 Can this scar on my face be removed?

Qian Duoduo saw that as soon as Shen Zicen put down his brush, he pulled him to Jishetang.

It was already past 1 PM, and she was worried that Yunzhi would be waiting for her at the door, and even more afraid that he would get lost again.

When the two arrived at Jishetang, Qian Duoduo saw Yunzhi sitting at the entrance of Jishetang.

Dr. Wang specially found him a stool and asked him to sit by the door and wait.

In that place, Doctor Wang could see Yunzhi as soon as he looked up.

Bored, Yunzhi kept looking up and around. He knew his mother was going to see Father A-Cen today and was worried she would forget about him.

Yunzhi's eyes lit up the moment he saw Qian Duoduo, and he stood up and rushed towards her.

Qian Duoduo smiled and hugged Yunzhi in her arms, holding Shen Zicen's hand with one hand and hugging Yunzhi with the other.

When Dr. Wang looked up and saw that Yunzhi was gone, he couldn't care less about the patients and could only tell them to wait a while.

As soon as I stepped out the door, I saw Qian Duoduo carrying Yunzhi over.

Doctor Wang rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. This kid at least knew to tell her.

Her heart can't take a shock, and her old bones can't withstand any more stress.

Dr. Wang turned around and continued treating the patients, while Qian Duoduo, carrying Yunzhi, walked inside with a smile.

"Mother, did you practice calligraphy today?"

Qian Duoduo immediately stopped laughing; she realized that her son looked much older than his age.

Qian Duoduo laughed it off, trying to get away with it.

Yunzhi hugged Qian Duoduo's neck and turned to look at Shen Zicen.

Shen Zicen shook his head silently; he had no idea that Duoduo needed to practice calligraphy.

She caused me a lot of trouble this afternoon. I should have prepared paper and pen for her to practice calligraphy.

"Mommy, not practicing calligraphy isn't being a good child... um... not being a good adult~"

Qian Duoduo and Shen Zicen exchanged a glance, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Just then, Shen Zicen also wanted to go to Jingmo to ask him to get her some scar removal ointment.

"Duoduo, I'm going to chat with Jingmo for a while. You go practice your calligraphy."

Qian Duoduo stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Had A-Cen just abandoned her like that?

She reluctantly let go of Shen Zicen's arm, looking at him pitifully, hoping he would have a change of heart and stay.

However, it is of no use.

Qian Duoduo sat at her desk, sighing countless times.

She recognized all the characters, but she couldn't write them; to be precise, she wrote them poorly.

As she drifted off for the 101st time, Yunzhi cleared his throat. "Ahem, Mother, you have to study so you don't become illiterate."

Qian Duoduo never imagined that one day she would be disliked by her own son for being illiterate.

"I'm not. At most, I'm only half illiterate."

Qian Duoduo initially retorted defiantly, but the more she spoke, the more guilty she became.

I'll keep going so my son won't look down on me!

The hype lasted only three minutes before Qian Duoduo's popularity was extinguished.

She was getting increasingly frustrated: Why aren't simplified Chinese characters popular?!

……

"Jingmo, are you feeling unwell?"

As soon as Shen Zicen pushed open the door, he saw Wang Jingmo leaning against the bed, looking somewhat haggard.

Wang Jingmo has been suffering lately, feeling tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, and his mother has stopped letting him walk around freely.

He shook his head weakly, a happy smile on his lips. "No, I'm just a little tired lately."

Shen Zicen looked incredulous, staring intently into Wang Jingmo's eyes as if trying to see through him.

Wang Jingmo turned his head away guiltily, defeated and unable to withstand Shen Zicen's scrutiny.

The main issue was that Wang Jingmo's eyes were darting around when he spoke.

Shen Zicen usually knows who is lying when he has so many apprentices around.

Wang Jingmo sighed, looked around, and then took Shen Zicen's hand.

“Ah Cen, I know you’re also worried that Duo Duo might leave without warning.”

Upon hearing that Qian Duoduo might leave, Shen Zicen's body tensed instantly.

Both hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

The thought of this possibility made him feel so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe, as if he were being choked.

Wang Jingmo looked at Shen Zicen sincerely, "If Duoduo leaves again, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."

Shen Zicen was startled, worried that Wang Jingmo might be hiding some illness from them.

Seeing the anxiety in his eyes, Wang Jingmo patted the back of his hand to comfort him.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I just wanted to keep something in mind."

As he spoke, a dazzling light flashed in his eyes, like the radiance of a father.

Shen Zicen frowned slightly, not understanding why Wang Jingmo would say that.

Wang Jingmo noticed Shen Zicen's confusion and looked up at the roof. "I finally understand why Xiao Huan insisted on giving birth to Nian Nian."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zicen roughly understood, but he was still in shock.

"you you……"

His gaze shifted from his face to his stomach.

Wang Jingmo no longer tried to hide it, nodded, and then reached out to gently stroke his abdomen.

Now Shen Zicen was completely convinced.

"However, your current situation is not good. If Duoduo knew..."

Wang Jingmo hurriedly covered Shen Zicen's mouth and glanced guiltily towards the door.

"Don't tell her yet."

Wang Jingmo's tone was pleading.

He knew that if Duoduo found out he was pregnant, she definitely wouldn't let him give birth to the child.

Shen Zicen frowned, disagreeing with Wang Jingmo's opinion. He removed Wang Jingmo's hand from his mouth, "Your body..."

Wang Jingmo shook his head, "I'm fine, my mother will help me."

Shen Zicen didn't know what to say, and he was also very worried about Wang Jingmo's health.

Once Duoduo finds out, she will definitely prioritize Jingmo's health.

But looking at Wang Jingmo now, although he looks haggard, he is also immersed in happiness.

"Okay, I won't tell."

After much deliberation, Shen Zicen finally decided to help Jingmo keep this secret.

"But you must tell me if anything happens."

Wang Jingmo nodded; he knew that each of them treated him like a brother.

Although Dr. Wang can take care of Jingmo, Jingmo's health is severely deteriorated and it has only recently recovered.

However, this pregnancy might just bring her back to her previous state.

Wang Jingmo didn't want Shen Zicen to worry about her, so she changed the subject.

"Duoduo, did she come to see you?"

Shen Zicen nodded, and soon he looked intently into Wang Jingmo's eyes.

"Jingmo, there's something I need your help with."

Wang Jingmo smiled and said, "There's no question of helping each other between us. Your business is my business."

Shen Zicen slowly removed her veil, revealing her scars.

Wang Jingmo was puzzled. Duoduo had already returned, so why did A-Cen still have this scar?

"Can this scar on my face be removed?"
