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

Chapter 196 Why are you so curious? Do you want a child too?

Li Mo'er never expected that Sister Wang would be with General Chu and have a lovely little daughter. What's most infuriating is that they can't even arrange a marriage between them.

She also failed to notice that Wang Cheng had just addressed Chu Xiaohuan as "Master." If they were truly together, how could he still address him that way?

After bidding farewell to Wang Cheng, Li Mo'er returned to her residence to find Yunzhi. With her son being so intelligent, how could she be afraid of not finding a good wife in the future?

Inside the Yingkelou restaurant, Chu Xiaohuan held Niannian, who was sobbing softly. She really liked Li Mo'er, but she didn't dare to cry loudly.

Wang Cheng noticed that Chu Xiaohuan was somewhat dazed. Following his gaze, he looked in the direction where Li Mo'er had disappeared.

She sighed helplessly, feeling heartbroken as she looked at Niannian trying to hold back her tears. Chu Xiaohuan had indeed been too serious just now.

"My boss..."

Wang Cheng was about to advise Chu Xiaohuan to let go when he heard Chu Xiaohuan's voice.

"Next time, it's best not to let Mo'er see Niannian."

He stared intently at Niannian; on her round little face, if you looked closely, you could definitely see the shadow of Li Mo'er.

Her pitiful yet hesitant expression perfectly mirrored her demeanor on the pleasure boat that day.

Wang Cheng could tell that Chu Xiaohuan still had feelings for Li Mo'er, but she didn't know why Chu Xiaohuan was unwilling to acknowledge it.

Suddenly, Chu Xiaohuan noticed the small gold bracelet on Niannian's wrist, and he wanted to take it out and take a look.

Niannian seemed to know what he was thinking, her little hands clenched into fists, unable to come out at all.

"This……"

Chu Xiaohuan thought it was Wang Cheng who bought it for Niannian, so he was just thinking of telling her not to spend so much money in the future.

Wang Cheng noticed that Chu Xiaohuan's gaze lingered on the bracelet and worried that he would take it off, but she couldn't lie to him.

"This was given to me by Hmm (Li Mei)."

She deliberately obscured the name, thinking that Chu Xiaohuan wouldn't pursue the matter, but unexpectedly he looked up at Wang Cheng.

His eyes seemed to see right through Wang Cheng, and Wang Cheng knew that Chu Xiaohuan was determined to get to the bottom of things.

She forced herself to say, "It was from Sister Li."

Having said that, seeing Chu Xiaohuan reach for Nian Nian's clenched fist, she quickly added, "Keep this, after all, it was given to you by your mother."

She didn't finish her sentence; she knew her employer understood what she meant.

Chu Xiaohuan didn't say anything, but simply hugged Niannian tightly.

Niannian, this may be the only thing your mother has given you, so you must cherish it.

Shen Mansion

Li Mo'er felt increasingly uneasy. Chu Xiaohuan's attitude towards Niannian was too cruel; it didn't feel like he was her biological daughter.

She always had a smile on her face as she looked at Yunzhi, who was walking unsteadily in the room.

The image of Nian Nian crying popped into her mind. When she had time, she could have Wang Cheng bring Nian Nian to play with Yun Zhi.

After seeing Niannian, she suddenly wanted a soft, cuddly daughter, but she didn't want her husband to suffer the pain of childbirth.

When Yunzhi saw Li Mo'er standing at the door, he was originally heading towards Wang Jingmo, but he turned around and stretched out his hand, babbling as he went towards Li Mo'er.

Li Mo'er's worries dissipated, she smiled, bent down and squatted down to pick up Yunzhi, and kissed his little face.

Shen Zicen noticed that Li Mo'er seemed reluctant, and his intuition told him that something was wrong with Mo'er.

That night, Shen Zicen lay down next to Li Mo'er, playing with her hair and asking her a question as if it were a casual question.

"Mo'er, have you seen Manager Wang's child?"

Li Mo'er was slightly taken aback, then thought of Nian Nian's teary eyes, "I saw her, she's quite cute."

Shen Zicen buried her head in Li Mo'er's arms and asked, "Then why is Mo'er unhappy?"

Li Mo'er didn't expect Shen Zicen to notice her change. "I'm not unhappy, I'm just a little surprised."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zicen knew there must be something he didn't know, and blinked his eyes with curiosity.

"What's unexpected?" He paused. "Manager Wang is getting on in years; it's time for him to have children."

Li Mo'er shook her head. "That's not surprising, but that child is Sister Wang's and General Chu's."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zicen immediately jumped up, staring at Li Mo'er in disbelief, muttering to himself, "Impossible."

Last year, Chu Xiaohuan clearly liked Mo'er so much, how could he possibly be with Manager Wang?

Li Mo'er was startled by Shen Zicen's sudden outburst and scolded him, "Lie down quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

Shen Zicen lay down blankly, something about to burst forth in his mind, but he just couldn't grasp it.

If you like someone so much, how could you so quickly fall into someone else's arms?

Shen Zicen asked tentatively, "Mo'er, how old is that child?"

Li Mo'er frowned and thought carefully, "It seems like it's been two months."

Two months...

Excluding the time of conception, the child was conceived around the time they returned from Kyoto last year.

Could it be that Chu Xiaohuan, in a fit of anger, just picked any woman...?

It's impossible. Chu Xiaohuan doesn't seem like a casual person.

"Mo'er, that child..."

Before Shen Zicen could finish asking, Li Mo'er rolled over and lay on his chest, her eyes like a whirlpool drawing Shen Zicen in.

She covered his mouth, her tone rising slightly, full of teasing, "Why are you so curious? Do you want a child too? Hmm~"

Shen Zicen was in a daze, completely absorbed, and couldn't help but want to respond to Li Mo'er, forgetting the question he had just wanted to ask.

Li Mo'er's slightly cool hand touched Shen Zicen. Shen Zicen felt a chill on his waist, and his eyes regained some of their coldness. He closed his eyes and slowly pulled Li Mo'er's hand away from his mouth.

"Is that child really the son of Manager Wang and General Chu?"

As if seeking confirmation, Shen Zicen asked again, "Did he admit it himself?"
