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

Chapter 304 Skin and Bones

Qian Duoduo wished she could be in two places at once, but in the end she gave in.

She nodded, "Then let's take turns..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Zicen winked at Shen Ziche.

They didn't care what she was saying; once she agreed, she was free to do as they said.

As darkness fell, neither of them wanted to go outside.

Qian Duoduo tried to get up, but the two men each pressed her down on the stool.

Qian Duoduo looked at Shen Zicen, then at Shen Ziche. They were worried that she would leave, so they hadn't let go of her since she was captured.

However, Qian Duoduo couldn't take care of both of them; she felt that she would be biased towards either of them.

"I'm going to wash up."

Qian Duoduo spoke helplessly.

"I'll go as well."

Shen Zicen and Shen Ziche said in unison.

Qian Duoduo could only sit back down, looking at the two people staring at her expectantly.

"Ah Cen, go first."

Shen Zicen was unwilling, and he was about to refuse when he heard Qian Duoduo say, "Ache will watch over me first, and you can take over when you come back."

Shen Zicen and Shen Ziche exchanged a glance before leaving, relieved.

Shen Zicen looked back every few steps, and before leaving, she gave Shen Ziche a special reminder.

"Brother, you have to keep an eye on her."

Shen Zicen thought for a moment and then added, "You have to leave the door open for me, no cheating."

Shen Ziche waved his hand at him, indicating that he understood.

Qian Duoduo and Shen Ziche were alone together, and only then did Qian Duoduo begin to carefully examine Shen Ziche.

When Shen Zicen was around, she was worried that he would be jealous, so she didn't dare to show too much concern for Shen Ziche.

The two brothers, worried that he might run away (mainly because of his criminal record), kept a close watch on him and didn't even remove their veils.

Qian Duoduo looked into Shen Ziche's eyes and gently raised her hand to remove his veil, but Shen Ziche blocked her way.

Shen Ziche didn't want Qian Duoduo to see him in such a disheveled state.

Because of my low mood and poor health in recent years, I not only look haggard, but my beard has also grown exceptionally thick.

However, because Li Mo'er loathed beards, he usually didn't groom them and let them grow freely.

However, because he left in a hurry today, he didn't have time to tidy up.

Shen Ziche gently touched his chin; it still felt a little prickly.

Qian Duoduo was worried that Shen Ziche, like Shen Zicen, had scars on his face.

In desperation, she pressed on relentlessly.

"Ah Che, let go first, let me take a look."

Shen Ziche retreated little by little until he was backed up in a corner.

Qian Duoduo cornered him against the wall, "Good boy~ A-Che, I'll just take a look."

Shen Ziche covered his face with his hands, tears welling in his eyes, and shook his head repeatedly.

He also had a sense of inferiority in his eyes, which made Qian Duoduo even more worried.

Just as she was about to reach out, Shen Ziche called out towards the door, "Ah Cen, you're all ready!"

In the short time it took Qian Duoduo to turn her head, Shen Ziche moved to another spot and ran to the other side.

Qian Duoduo looked at the empty doorway and realized she had been scammed.

She walked towards Shen Ziche, coaxing and cajoling him.

"Ah Che, just take off your veil~"

Shen Ziche was about to shake his head when Qian Duoduo held him firmly with both hands.

"Tell me, is it because you don't want to see me that you're wearing a veil?"

Shen Ziche frowned; he hadn't said anything yet.

Qian Duoduo replied to herself, "Then I'll wear a veil when I see you from now on."

As she spoke, Qian Duoduo let go of her hand and went to the dressing table to find a veil to put on.

Shen Ziche got anxious and grabbed Qian Duoduo's wrist.

This sudden movement caused Qian Duoduo to lose her balance and fall towards Shen Ziche.

Qian Duoduo pounced on Shen Ziche on the bed, and the veil was accidentally pulled down by Qian Duoduo's fingers.

Shen Ziche didn't react at first, so he quickly asked Qian Duoduo.

"How's it going? Are you injured?"

Qian Duoduo was somewhat helpless. Even though she was the one cushioning the fall, she was concerned about whether the other woman was injured first.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Shen Ziche's face. Putting aside the beard on his face, his cheeks were really skinless.

His cheekbones weren't very noticeable when he was wearing a veil, but now you can see they're prominently raised.

Shen Ziche didn't notice at first that his veil had fallen off, but when he realized that Qian Duoduo was staring at his face in a daze, he realized what was happening.

He was about to reach out and cover his face when Qian Duoduo beat him to it.

Qian Duoduo tenderly cupped his face in her hands. She hadn't dared to use too much force because she was worried about the scars on his face, otherwise she would have noticed them long ago.

"Ah Che, how did you get so thin?"

Qian Duoduo's voice trembled slightly, her tone full of heartache.

Shen Ziche thought she would comment on his beard, but unexpectedly she said he had lost weight.

He had assumed that Qian Duoduo would be like Li Mo'er, disliking men with beards and finding him repulsive.

Unexpectedly, Qian Duoduo was actually concerned about his health; he hadn't loved the wrong person after all.

His nose tingled with emotion, feeling that the past four years of waiting had not been in vain.

Tears streamed down her face for no apparent reason, and Qian Duoduo was somewhat panicked.

"Ache, why are you crying? Did you fall somewhere?"

Just as Qian Duoduo was about to get up, Shen Ziche wrapped his arms around her neck and hugged her tightly.
