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

Chapter 345 The Letter is Missing

Qian Duoduo fed Chu Xiaohuan the porridge as if she were coaxing a two-year-old child.

Chu Xiaohuan is now very dependent on her; even the slightest movement from her causes him to become highly anxious.

Qian Duoduo's original plan to tidy up the study had to be abandoned.

She noticed the dark circles under Chu Xiaohuan's eyes and pulled him to the bed behind the screen in the study.

"You should take a nap first."

Chu Xiaohuan nodded, but simply sat on the edge of the bed without taking any further action.

Sleep~

Qian Duoduo thought he hadn't understood, so she slowed down and repeated it.

Looking at Qian Duoduo's face, Chu Xiaohuan obediently repeated, "Sleep~"

Qian Duoduo patiently pointed to Chu Xiaohuan, "Go to sleep."

This time, Chu Xiaohuan shook his head.

Qian Duoduo thought he still didn't understand, so she stopped arguing with Chu Xiaohuan and helped him lie down.

No sooner had Chu Xiaohuan's back touched the bed than he sat up on his own, looking aggrieved.

"Not sleeping."

Having no other choice, Qian Duoduo sat down next to Chu Xiaohuan.

Why aren't you sleeping?

Chu Xiaohuan didn't speak, but just kept his head down, his hands tightly holding Qian Duoduo's arm.

After a long while, Qian Duoduo thought Chu Xiaohuan wouldn't speak, but he spoke in a hoarse voice.

"You will leave."

His tone of voice, coupled with his pitiful appearance, made him seem like a little dog abandoned on the roadside on a rainy day.

"I won't..."

Qian Duoduo was about to make a promise to Chu Xiaohuan, but then felt that it wasn't convincing enough.

"I'll sleep with you."

As he spoke, Qian Duoduo lay down on the bed fully clothed. Chu Xiaohuan watched Qian Duoduo lie down before a smile appeared on his face.

He obediently lay down next to Qian Duoduo, and to prevent Qian Duoduo from sneaking away, he let Qian Duoduo lie inside him.

The bed in the study is a single bed; it's a bit cramped for two people.

Chu Xiaohuan seemed to sense Qian Duoduo's discomfort. He turned to the side, reached out and hugged Qian Duoduo, pressing half of his body against her.

Now Qian Duoduo's range of activities has expanded, but he can no longer do much.

Qian Duoduo wasn't sleepy at all; she just kept her eyes open, waiting for Chu Xiaohuan to fall asleep.

As soon as she heard his steady breathing beside her, she tried to get up, but the moment he moved, Chu Xiaohuan immediately pulled her even tighter.

Qian Duoduo gave up struggling. There was no rush to clean up now; she would deal with it after Chu Xiaohuan woke up.

As she waited, Qian Duoduo found herself getting sleepy without realizing it.

However, she always felt that she had forgotten something, but she just couldn't remember it.

-----

"did you find it?"

Qingzhu looked at the people in front of her. They all looked at each other and then shook their heads at the same time.

Qingzhu was so angry he wanted to dig three feet into the ground. He had just asked, and the doctor hadn't left at all, which meant she was still in the general's mansion.

But he had searched everywhere and still couldn't find it.

Won't……

As if thinking of something, Qingzhu shook her head repeatedly, denying her own thoughts.

She couldn't possibly be in the general's study; she hadn't dared to go in and disturb him these past few days.

Normally, when it's time to eat, he would bring the food in and come out immediately, not daring to linger for even a moment longer.

Qingzhu rubbed her knees in frustration. "Keep looking, look again. Be sure to look carefully, don't miss a single corner."

Qingzhu wasn't idle either; she started searching room by room along the east side.

The general's mansion was enormous, and although there were many servants, it would still take half an hour to search the entire mansion thoroughly.

He could only mobilize a few servants, as they had their own tasks to perform.

By the time we finished searching again, it was almost afternoon.

Qingzhu sat on a bench in the front yard, gazing at the sky in a daze.

Why did he bring that person in? The person looked around suspiciously as soon as he came in; he didn't seem like a good person at all.

Those eyes of hers are practically identical to those of that lady!

Qingzhu immediately jumped up when he thought of the doctor's eyes. He said, "Why does he look so familiar? It must be your wife in disguise."

After Qingzhu figured things out, she hurried to the study.

Every time he wanted to knock on the door of the study, he hesitated at the door and, not hearing any voices inside, he guessed that the person was not inside and did not disturb the general.

But now that he knows it's the lady, he's determined to go in and take a look.

Just as Qingzhu was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, she suddenly realized that if only the general was inside, what should she say?

He had no choice but to call someone to bring over a plate of pastries. Looking at the exquisite pastries, Qingzhu nodded in satisfaction, then raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock—"

Qingzhu wanted to wait for the general to let him in, but there was no sound.

In the past, after he finished striking the hammer, the general would always say, "Leave me alone!"

Something's definitely not right that it's so quiet right now.

Qingzhu then knocked again, and to make sure the general heard him, he knocked even harder.

In the study, the two of them frowned simultaneously.

Chu Xiaohuan instinctively reached out to the side, only feeling relieved when he sensed someone was there.

The next instant, he sat up abruptly, glaring angrily at the person in front of him.

She was incredibly audacious to climb into my bed.

Chu Xiaohuan immediately got off the bed with disgust and checked that his clothes were intact.

He kicked Qian Duoduo on the bed without any mercy.

"Get out of here!"

Qian Duoduo woke up when Qingzhu knocked on the first time, but she was pinned down and couldn't move, so she could only wait.

Worried that she wouldn't know how to explain things to Chu Xiaohuan if she opened her eyes, she simply closed them, thinking she should first observe Chu Xiaohuan's attitude.

She felt a lightness on her body, but before she could open her eyes, she was kicked solidly in the waist.

Although there was a blanket, Chu Xiaohuan was a martial artist and quite strong.

Qian Duoduo sat up, clutching her aching back. Just as she was about to speak, Qingzhu, who was outside the door, heard the noise and immediately pushed the door open and came in.

He glanced at Chu Xiaohuan standing by the bed, then at Qian Duoduo sitting on the bed, and wondered if there was anything else he didn't understand.

"Xiao Huan, listen to me, I'm Qian Duoduo..."

Qian Duoduo explained to Chu Xiaohuan, and when Chu Xiaohuan heard her say that, her expression did indeed resemble Qian Duoduo's.

Thinking of the letter Wang Cheng had given him, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes. Sure enough, the tricks of deception had become much more sophisticated.

"Qingzhu, kick her out..."

Before Qingzhu arrived, Qian Duoduo quickly began to take out the letter she had hidden in her bosom.

Now she finally remembered what she had forgotten. She should have taken out the letter from the beginning, and she wouldn't be in such a flustered state.

Huh? That's strange. It was definitely placed here, so how could it be gone?

Chu Xiaohuan watched as Qian Duoduo began to lift her clothes, then resolutely turned around and found two people to throw her out.

After saying that, Chu Xiaohuan turned and left.

Qian Duoduo was about to chase after her when she was stopped by two servants. The two men lifted her up and threw her out through the front gate.

"Hey! It really is Qian Duoduo, Sister Wang, Sister Wang wrote you a letter, mmm mmm..." I immediately found it.

Qian Duoduo shouted at the top of her lungs so that Chu Xiaohuan could hear her.

However, the servant covered his mouth to stop what he was about to say, and only "mmm" could be heard.

Chu Xiaohuan scoffed. She still dared to mention Wang Cheng's letter. If it weren't for that letter, he was afraid he would have been fooled again.

"Bam—"

Qian Duoduo was left on the road. She slowly stood up, supporting her waist against the wall.

More and more people gathered around, pointing and whispering about Qian Duoduo, but Qian Duoduo didn't care about that now.

Her most pressing task now is to find Wang Cheng's letter.
