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

Chapter 133 The Gossip That Has Changed

Every time, Wang Cheng would secretly take a look from afar, and she still felt that only Li Mei and the boss were a perfect match.

That day, while Wang Cheng was gathering information, he overheard people talking around him.

"This young master Chu has been going out with different women lately. He's really not living up to the proper husbandly ways!"

"You don't know this, but Young Master Chu is looking for a wife for himself."

"Huh? No wonder they change the actors every day."

……

Listening to their chatter, Wang Cheng felt indignant; the boss could only be Li Mei.

She looked around and then waved to the people who were talking.

Her cautious actions indeed piqued their curiosity.

Wang Cheng whispered, "I heard that Young Master Chu has already arranged a wife for him, this is just to mislead the Fifth Prince."

The others looked at her with suspicion and distrust.

Wang Cheng grew anxious. "It's true! I heard the woman's surname is Li, and she'll be arriving in the capital in a few days."

The remaining people looked at each other, not caring about the truth or falsehood, only about the gossip.

As a result, the gossip changed over time.

"Have you heard? Young Master Chu's future wife is coming to the capital to settle scores with him."

"why?"

"It's all because he's fickle, taking different women to the lake every day, as if he's afraid his wife won't know."

Just then, a woman swayed over, her head held high, as if she were the one who knew everything.

"What do you know? Young Master Chu only went boating on the lake with someone else to seduce the Fifth Prince in order to prevent his wife from being taken away by him."

When these words reached the ears of the Fifth Prince, he went to find Chu Xiaohuan in a fit of rage.

Chu Xiaohuan had just returned from Putuo Temple and was resting on a soft couch.

"So you secretly found a wife without telling me? Are you really afraid I'll steal your wife?"

Chu Xiaohuan looked at the Fifth Prince with a blank expression. When did he get a wife?

Wang Cheng stood behind Chu Xiaohuan, his eyes fixed on his toes, not daring to look up.

Seeing his innocent look, the Fifth Prince became even angrier. "You dare to play dumb? Wait until your wife arrives, then we'll see how you try to explain yourself."

After saying that, he turned and left. This time, he was determined to see what kind of woman could make someone like Chu Xiaohuan fall in love.

Chu Xiaohuan turned to look at Wang Cheng, "Is anyone coming to Kyoto recently?"

"Li, that's Qian Duoduo, she's coming to Kyoto to discuss business."

Wang Cheng still remembered that Li Mo'er had told her to call her Qian Duoduo in front of Chu Xiaohuan.

Although she didn't understand, she still did as instructed.

When Chu Xiaohuan heard Wang Cheng mention Qian Duoduo, the image of her saving him immediately flashed into his mind.

When will she arrive?

Perhaps Chu Xiaohuan himself didn't realize the expectation in his tone.

"In two more days at most."

Judging by how fast they arrive, they should be here in the next couple of days.

"However, young master, you seem to be in such a hurry, could it be that..."

Chu Xiaohuan's cheeks flushed slightly, and he stubbornly turned his head away, "I just want to get my jade pendant back."

"Oh, I thought you wanted to discuss business with her, young master."

"Talk business? What kind of business?"

Wang Cheng recounted Li Mo'er's story about fine salt to Chu Xiaohuan.

"Then I'll leave this business negotiation to you. Make sure you get it done well..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xiaohuan frowned and waved his hand, denying what he had said.

"Never mind, I'll go talk to them myself."

He hadn't seen his savior for a long time; yes, just his savior.

---

Before leaving, Li Mo'er looked at the extra bundles in the carriage and pinched her brow.

"Who is it this time?"

She knew that the quietness this time meant there must be a plan.

Shen Zicen stepped forward awkwardly, raising his head guiltily, not daring to look at Li Mo'er.

"I have some business with the security escort agency, and they need us to go there."

Looking at the eight or nine people following behind, Li Mo'er thought to herself, "Isn't it obvious that I have to go with them?"

Both of them looked unwell due to the long journey.

Shen Zicen was also very well-behaved and didn't make a sound.

He only remembered one sentence firmly: Li Mo'er was not allowed to have contact with men.
