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

Chapter 289 Welcoming Guest House? "The Five Rampant Gathering"?

Qian Duoduo saw Niannian and was about to walk over when she noticed that Niannian was carrying meat and had walked away without looking back.

She turned her head and saw Shen Zicen coming out of the ancestral hall. She gestured for him to go after Niannian, but Shen Zicen seemed not to understand and just stood there watching her.

Shen Zicen didn't move because he understood Nian Nian. Once Nian Nian stopped eating meat for a period of time, even if it was just for a day, she would still go to Yingkelou for a meal.

Niannian also said that she needed compensation.

As evening approached, Niannian sneaked into the study. She was startled when she saw Qian Duoduo sitting next to her, and then she turned to leave.

But she's already inside; wouldn't it be too embarrassing for her to leave?

She took small steps to Shen Zicen's side and tugged at his sleeve.

Shen Zicen turned to look at her, but Nian Nian's face was flushed red, and she didn't say anything, only blinking her eyes repeatedly.

Qian Duoduo kept her eyes fixed on the two people, while Niannian didn't glance at her once after entering the study.

She still didn't understand what Niannian was trying to do, but Shen Zicen knew perfectly well, though he wouldn't say anything.

Niannian tiptoed and whispered in Shen Zicen's ear, "Father Acen, I want to go to Yingkelou."

As she spoke, she glanced guiltily at Qian Duoduo, and when she saw Qian Duoduo looking this way, she lowered her voice even further.

Shen Zicen smiled and gently pinched Niannian's nose. "Okay, I'll go to Yingkelou after I finish watching this."

Shen Zicen didn't lower his voice intentionally, and Qian Duoduo heard it too.

Niannian's face flushed red to the roots of her neck. That annoying Daddy A-Cen, why did you have to say it?

Niannian lowered her head and secretly looked up, only to see that Qian Duoduo was just smiling and didn't seem to want to expose her for secretly eating meat.

Niannian pouted and said, "Okay, let's just agree that she's not such a bad woman."

Qian Duoduo was a little stunned when she realized she was going to Yingkelou. Could it be that Wang Cheng still thought she was the original owner of this body?

If that's the case, then all the husbands she's now won back are going to her place for meals, which would seem like a deliberate provocation in front of her.

But she's being so obvious, Wang Cheng shouldn't be unable to notice.

"Niannian, you have to grant me one request."

Qian Duoduo's thoughts were brought back by Shen Zicen's voice.

Niannian looked up innocently at Shen Zicen, then nodded vigorously. She would agree to anything as long as they could eat meat.

"Beat the little stool first, and then I'll take you there."

Niannian immediately wilted; why did she still want to spar?

She suddenly didn't want to eat meat anymore, but the thought of braised pork still made her mouth water.

Qian Duoduo remembered the "Five Witches Festival" and worried that it would dampen Niannian's spirits.

"Ah Cen, why don't we take Niannian there first..."

Before she could finish speaking, Niannian turned her head to look at Qian Duoduo.

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

She's looking down on herself, thinking she'll lose to Xiaodengzi.

The image of the little stool and Qian Duoduo being affectionate flashed through her mind, instantly igniting her fighting spirit.

"I'll go find a small stool to have a contest right now."

After saying that, she went out.

After Niannian left, Qian Duoduo walked up to Shen Zicen and asked, "Won't Niannian stop liking to go to Yingkelou in the future?"

Shen Zicen shook his head mysteriously, "Duoduo, you underestimate the appeal of braised pork to Niannian."

In less than a quarter of an hour, Niannian pulled her little stool to the study.

The poor little stool was still holding onto her waistband with one hand. She was relieving herself when she heard Niannian call her and answered. Unexpectedly, she was pulled over by Niannian.

If she hadn't been holding onto her waistband tightly with one hand, she would have been exposed.

Shen Zicen frowned slightly and looked serious when he saw Nian Nian acting so recklessly.

Niannian immediately stood in front of the small stool, her little hands waving behind her back, trying to get the stool to be put away faster.

The little stool kept its head down, constantly fastening its belt.

After she finished tying her hair, she gently patted Niannian's hand, which was placed behind her back, with one hand.

Niannian then moved to the side, revealing the small stool behind her.

"Daddy A-Cen, the stool is ready. We can start practicing now."

???

The little stool turned to Nian Nian with a bewildered look. Was she ready? Was she going to demonstrate?

How come she doesn't know anything?

Niannian realized that no one responded, Shen Zicen didn't say anything, and Xiaodengzi didn't chime in either.

Niannian quickly took two steps back, stood next to the little stool, and gently tugged at her clothes.

"Huh? Master, I want to spar with Niannian."

Qian Duoduo and Shen Zicen exchanged a glance before quickly looking away, having taken in all the little ones' movements.
