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

Chapter 132 He even knew exactly how many scales each fish in the lake had.

Just when Li Mo'er was smugly thinking that she could go to Kyoto to discuss business on her own,

The four men outside quickly made a decision: "A-Cen, you and Mo'er go together this time."

Shen Zicen looked into the expectant eyes of the three of them and nodded solemnly.

"I promise to bring Mo'er back safely."

Su Yanli didn't speak. His heart was pounding. This time it was definitely safe, but there might be other unexpected events, which they didn't know about.

The next day, the four of them acted mysteriously. Li Mo'er was going to Kyoto, so she planned to stay with them for the next few days to make up for it.

Everyone else was normal, but Shen Zicen rarely saw him. He was usually the most proactive, always hanging around her.

She only heard from Shen Ziche that Shen Zicen had been busy with the escort agency recently, apparently having just landed a big job and needing to prepare properly.

Li Mo'er was worried that he was too tired, so she went to talk to him in the evening and told him to rest, but he refused to see her.

Later, the three of them took turns keeping Li Mo'er company, and she no longer had the energy to go find Shen Zicen.

However, the more this happened, the more guilty Li Mo'er felt towards Shen Zicen. She always thought about him, but she could not see him time and time again.

Prince of Chu's Palace

Since the Fifth Prince left that day, Chu Xiaohuan has never had a moment's rest.

That day, the Fifth Prince returned to the palace in a fit of rage. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. When did it become his place to consider marriage?

The Fifth Prince's eyes flickered, and he beckoned a servant to come closer to give him instructions. After giving the servant instructions, a triumphant smile appeared on his lips.

The next day, Qingzhu rushed to the guest room in a panic, holding the invitation.

"Young master, the Fifth Prince has invited us to go boating on the lake."

Qingzhu was out of breath and panting heavily.

Chu Xiaohuan didn't think much of it and got up to go to the appointment.

Holding the burning invitation, Qingzhu hesitated, "Young...Young Master..."

Chu Xiaohuan saw him stammering and assumed he was worried about him.

"Don't worry, it's just a boat trip on the lake. The Fifth Prince won't do anything to me."

Qingzhu was too embarrassed to say it aloud, so he stuffed the invitation into Chu Xiaohuan's hand, indicating that he should read it himself.

Chu Xiaohuan opened the invitation without a care, but the smile on his face froze the moment he saw the name "Su Moling".

"The Fifth Prince invited the young master and Su Shaoqing to go boating on the lake alone."

Chu Xiaohuan's eyelids twitched incessantly. Was the Fifth Prince going to take revenge on him?

He casually placed the invitation on the table and continued drinking his tea leisurely.

Qingzhu touched her forehead, where there was no sweat.

"The Fifth Prince sent someone to say that the young master must be serious when choosing a wife for him, so a boat trip on the lake has been arranged for him."

Hearing this, Chu Xiaohuan remained unmoved; he didn't care.

Qingzhu slightly raised her eyes and saw her young master's indifferent expression. She was secretly amazed that the Fifth Prince was so resourceful.

"The Fifth Prince also said that since you owe him a favor, you have no choice but to go."

As Qingzhu spoke, she carefully observed Chu Xiaohuan's expression.

As expected, upon hearing this, Chu Xiaohuan was filled with hatred, his temples bulging with veins.

But he still obediently went to keep his appointment to go boating on the lake.

the next day---

"Young master, here's the invitation."

This time, Chu Xiaohuan didn't even look at it and directly had Qingzhu open it.

"Where?"

"Touring, touring the lake."

As he spoke, Qingzhu's teeth chattered; he was afraid that the young master would not be able to resist punching him.

Every day that followed was—

"Son..."

"Where?"

"Boating on the lake."

……

After swimming for ten days straight in the same lake, Chu Xiaohuan was about to throw up. He knew exactly how many fish were in the lake, and even how many scales each fish had.

That day, Qingzhu came in again with an invitation.

"male……"

Before Qingzhu could speak, Chu Xiaohuan interrupted her.

"I know, let's go boating on the lake."

His tone was full of helplessness.

Qingzhu gently shook her head, looking at her young master with sympathy.

"Today we are going to the temple to worship Buddha."

Chu Xiaohuan couldn't believe it. He quickly took the invitation and examined it carefully. After confirming that it was for visiting Putuo Temple to worship Buddha, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally, it's not just a boat trip on the lake."

Although Putuo Temple is located on a mountain, with eight thousand steps and a rugged mountain path, one must climb it step by step to show sincerity.

However, Chu Xiaohuan felt much better now that he no longer had to go boating on the lake; he was getting depressed from all the boating.

Qingzhu carefully reminded her from the side, "You're going with the Grand Secretary."

Chu Xiaohuan didn't realize anything was wrong, and simply nodded, "Anywhere is fine as long as we don't go boating on the lake."

Qingzhu was reluctant to tell her young master the truth.

"However, the Grand Secretary twisted his ankle a couple of days ago and still needs crutches to walk."

Chu Xiaohuan's vision went black. Damn the Fifth Prince, he might as well have let him go boating on the lake.

If they go to Putuo Temple, they probably won't be able to come back that day.

But the Fifth Prince had Chu Xiaohuan firmly under his control, and deliberately made them go to worship Buddha.

And they did go, not returning until the evening of the following day.

Worried about not having a place to rest in the middle of the night, they stayed at Putuo Temple that night and returned the next day.

However, even so, Chu Xiaohuan still didn't know much about the Grand Secretary.

The two barely spoke to each other throughout the entire meeting.

At most——

"Would you like to rest for a while?"

"Need not."
