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

Chapter 351: Together in the Snow, Together in the Old Age

Chu Xiaohuan walked into the courtyard, picked up the sword, and brandished it under the tree.

The sound of sword energy slicing through the air, and the snow piled up on the trees slowly fell.

Qian Duoduo was engrossed in watching, but she vaguely sensed something was wrong, though she didn't know why.

She carefully observed Chu Xiaohuan's every move and finally discovered it.

Chu Xiaohuan showed no murderous intent whatsoever, and even occasionally a smile appeared on his lips.

Every time Chu Xiaohuan's gaze fell on the amulet hanging on the sword, his movements would pause slightly.

But Qian Duoduo didn't immediately tell Chu Xiaohuan to stop. Instead, she silently watched the dance until it ended.

Although it was winter, Chu Xiaohuan's nose was still damp with a thin layer of sweat after he finished his sword dance.

Qian Duoduo stepped forward and used a handkerchief to wipe him, then casually asked him a question.

"Xiao Huan, will you take this sword to the battlefield in the future?"

Chu Xiaohuan was immersed in the sweet fragrance wafting from the handkerchief and didn't think about why Qian Duoduo asked that question.

"This is a good luck charm that Duoduo personally obtained for me, so I will definitely carry it with me at all times."

Qian Duoduo's eyes darkened; this was exactly what she was worried about.

But if I say it directly, Chu Xiaohuan might overthink it.

So, Qian Duoduo took the sword and removed the amulet.

"This amulet isn't safe outside, I need to..."

Before Qian Duoduo could finish speaking, Chu Xiaohuan snatched the amulet from her hand and carefully placed it in his own.

"Does Duoduo mean to take it back?"

Chu Xiaohuan gently stroked the patterns on the amulet.

"I will take great care to protect it."

Qian Duoduo took Chu Xiaohuan's hand, and the two entered the study.

The amulet isn't really important; what matters is Chu Xiaohuan's safety.

Qian Duoduo had someone fetch a needle and thread and added silk thread to the amulet.

She placed the amulet around Chu Xiaohuan's neck, and the amulet hung down to his chest.

In this way, even on the battlefield, he would try his best to avoid getting hurt in the chest, just for the sake of the amulet.

Qian Duoduo looked at Chu Xiaohuan, who had his head bowed. In truth, she still didn't want Chu Xiaohuan to continue being a general.

She is selfish; all she wants is for the people she loves to be healthy and safe.

Chu Xiaohuan looked up and met Qian Duoduo's worried gaze.

"I can protect myself."

Qian Duoduo simply nodded silently.

She trusted Chu Xiaohuan, but that didn't mean she wasn't worried.

"General, it's time for your meal."

Qingzhu's voice came from outside the door, breaking the silence between the two.

"Duoduo, try this."

“Duoduo…”

“Duoduo…”

At the dinner table, Chu Xiaohuan kept putting food on Qian Duoduo's plate.

Even Qingzhu, who usually waits by the dining table, was forced out.

He truly couldn't bear to look; how could his general have suddenly become like this?

Seeing that her bowl was already overflowing, Qian Duoduo immediately transferred the food to Chu Xiaohuan's bowl.

Chu Xiaohuan was even thinner than she had last seen him; he probably hadn't eaten properly in years.

He looked at the extra food in his bowl, gave a slight upturn of his lips, and then quickly suppressed it.

However, Chu Xiaohuan's mouth and hands were not idle either. He picked up food with one hand and held Qian Duoduo's hand with the other.

Only in this way will he feel a sense of reality.

"Xiao Huan, don't you miss me?"

Qian Duoduo was curious that he hadn't asked about Niannian's situation even though he had been there for so long.

Chu Xiaohuan shook his head indifferently, "She's doing very well with A-Cen."

It wasn't that he didn't ask, but rather that Wang Cheng would regularly send him letters, which were mostly about the things he was thinking about.

The last letter he wrote to warn him about Qian Duoduo was mostly about Niannian, and even this time, Niannian took up a large portion of the explanation.

After the meal, the two walked hand in hand in the garden of the general's mansion.

Despite the lack of beautiful scenery, the two still took a leisurely stroll.

The snow, which had just stopped, began to fall again, leaving two sets of footprints on the path the two had walked.

Looking at the snowflakes on Chu Xiaohuan's head, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but think: If we get soaked in the snow today, we can grow old together in this life.
