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

Chapter 348 I'm too late

Qian Duoduo leaned against a tree by the roadside, watching a carriage approach, but she didn't have the strength to get up.

"Your Highness, someone up ahead seems to have fainted."

The Fifth Prince didn't want to get involved, but now that it was snowing and the roads were muddy, he had to hurry back.

Curious, An'an lifted the curtain, and the Fifth Prince glanced at her and recognized her as Qian Duoduo.

He instructed the driver to stop the carriage so that she could take a look.

Qian Duoduo was wearing the same clothes he had seen her in last time, otherwise he wouldn't have recognized her.

Qian Duoduo was helped into the carriage by the driver, but because of the difference between men and women, Qian Duoduo could only sit in the front with the driver.

Qian Duoduo didn't care; it was already very kind of the Fifth Prince to lend a helping hand.

The Fifth Prince stared at his reflection in the curtain in front of him and let out a long sigh.

If he hadn't known that although Chu Xiaohuan didn't like this woman now, he still cared about her, he wouldn't have been willing to take action.

Even after arriving at the busiest street, Chu Xiaohuan was still searching around.

Qingzhu was also asking around. Although he was dissatisfied with this lady, he still cared about the general.

Suddenly, he saw Qian Duoduo on the carriage.

Chu Xiaohuan was still questioning the person beside him and did not notice the carriage behind him.

"The Fifth Prince?"

Qingzhu murmured, "Why did Madam come with the Fifth Prince?"

Chu Xiaohuan was busy and didn't hear Qingzhu's words at all.

Qingzhu rubbed her eyes, and after confirming it was Qian Duoduo, she tugged at the general's sleeve, "General? That looks like the madam?"

At first, Chu Xiaohuan didn't react at all, but upon hearing the word "Madam," he immediately turned around, grabbed Qingzhu, and asked, "Where is she?"

Qingzhu stared blankly at Qian Duoduo in the carriage, and at this moment Qian Duoduo also noticed Chu Xiaohuan.

Just as she was about to get up, she heard the coachman beside her report inside.

"The Fifth Prince is General Chu."

The Fifth Prince immediately lifted the curtain, forgetting that Qian Duoduo was still sitting in front.

He naturally remembered meeting Qian Duoduo and wanted to tell Chu Xiaohuan immediately, but he forgot that Qian Duoduo was sitting on the other side.

His hand suddenly reached out, and Qian Duoduo, who was not sitting properly, was pushed out by the Fifth Prince.

Although they were in a carriage, the space in front was narrow, and Qian Duoduo barely managed to keep his balance, but the next second...

"excuse me, I……"

The Fifth Prince realized he had bumped into Qian Duoduo and was about to go out to apologize when he bumped into Qian Duoduo again.

Qian Duoduo lost her balance completely and was about to fall.

Chu Xiaohuan was startled at the sight, and his body reacted faster than his mind, quickly stepping forward to support her.

Qian Duoduo felt not only a chilly feeling but also a hint of alcohol.

It seems Chu Xiaohuan drank again this morning.

Chu Xiaohuan held Qian Duoduo tightly, unwilling to let go, his gaze fixed on her.

Duoduo is finally back, and Chu Xiaohuan doesn't even have time to say anything.

The Fifth Prince led An'an down and saw the two of them hugging each other as if they were frozen in place.

"Ahem, cough cough, mind your manners."

Chu Xiaohuan restrained himself from letting go of Qian Duoduo's waist, but quickly took her hand back.

He turned to thank the Fifth Prince, then pulled Qian Duoduo through the crowd and headed towards the General's Mansion.

They had just made such a big commotion that they were surrounded by layers upon layers of people.

When they recognized Chu Xiaohuan, they all made way for him.

They might not have recognized him at first, but they did recognize the Fifth Prince's carriage.

Chu Xiaohuan strode ahead, while Qian Duoduo was pulled along, occasionally running a few steps.

Qingzhu, who was jogging behind, couldn't keep up at all.

Upon arriving at the General's Mansion, Chu Xiaohuan took Qian Duoduo directly to the study.

Just as Qian Duoduo was about to explain, Chu Xiaohuan covered her mouth.

"Don't speak, let me take a good look at you."

He still can't quite believe that his Duoduo is back.

He secretly pinched his thigh with one hand. Ouch! It really hurt!

Chu Xiaohuan could no longer control himself and hugged Qian Duoduo tightly, silently shedding tears.

He was so excited that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Qian Duoduo could only pat him on the back and say, "Xiao Huan, I'm back!"

Her voice was hoarse; all the travel had been less tiring than the two days of hiking.

Chu Xiaohuan didn't speak, he just held her, and secretly wiped away his tears, afraid that she would find out he was crying.

Suddenly, Chu Xiaohuan realized that he had not only kicked her out, but also seemed to have kicked her.

"Duoduo, are you hurt?"

Chu Xiaohuan pulled Qian Duoduo to examine her body. When his hand touched Qian Duoduo's waist, Qian Duoduo frowned slightly, almost imperceptibly.

She quickly covered it up, but Chu Xiaohuan still noticed.

"Duoduo, I'm so sorry..."

Qian Duoduo pinched Chu Xiaohuan's mouth shut, "I'm fine. Don't apologize, I'm the one who's late."
