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

Chapter 338 The Sugar-Eating Man

The next morning, Qian Duoduo still got up early to prepare breakfast for Shen Ziche.

Yesterday, Shen Ziche had already prepared everything he needed for his trip to Beijing.

Qian Duoduo looked at Shen Ziche sitting at the table. He had his head down, and the sunlight streaming through the window fell on him.

She got up, walked to Shen Ziche's side, put her hand on his shoulder, and gently massaged him.

"If you're tired, take a rest."

Qian Duoduo gently persuaded Shen Ziche.

Shen Ziche raised his eyes and looked at Qian Duoduo with deep affection.

The moment their eyes met, it was as if pink bubbles were rising in the study.

The next second——

"Duoduo, are you tired?"

Shen Ziche's voice broke the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

Qian Duoduo touched her nose sheepishly, glancing guiltily at the papers on her desk.

She really didn't want to write anymore, and she had already met her quota for the day.

However, Shen Ziche was worried that she would slack off after going to Kyoto, so he wanted her to practice more today.

Qian Duoduo leaned against Shen Ziche, sitting on the armrest of the stool, and put her arm around Shen Ziche's shoulder.

"Ah Che, I want to spend more time with you~"

Qian Duoduo gently shook Shen Ziche's shoulder.

Shen Ziche glanced at Qian Duoduo, who was acting coquettishly towards him, and shook his head helplessly.

However, Qian Duoduo misunderstood Shen Ziche's meaning, thinking that Shen Ziche didn't want her to bother him.

She immediately withdrew her hand, stood still to the side, and looked at her feet.

"But I won't be able to be with you tomorrow."

Qian Duoduo spoke softly, knowing that Shen Ziche must have something important to say if he refused her.

Shen Ziche glanced down at the bill he had already checked, and slowly stood up.

When Shen Ziche reached the study door, he turned around and saw Qian Duoduo still staring at his feet without looking up.

"Weren't we going out?"

Shen Ziche cleared his throat and spoke.

Qian Duoduo looked up in shock, her eyes shining, and then immediately ran to Shen Ziche's side.

She reached out and took Shen Ziche's arm, as if afraid he would change his mind, and replied repeatedly, "Go, let's go out now."

Qian Duoduo pulled Shen Ziche to the carriage and gestured for him to get on.

Shen Ziche looked at Qian Duoduo with suspicion. Was she really going to take him to Kyoto?

However, before Shen Ziche could ask, Qian Duoduo got into the carriage first.

Qian Duoduo turned around and stretched out her hand to Shen Ziche, "Come on!"

"But……"

Before Shen Ziche could finish speaking, Qian Duoduo pulled him onto the carriage.

"If we stay any later, we won't be able to see the sunset."

Qian Duoduo muttered softly, deliberately lowering her voice, thinking of giving Shen Ziche a surprise.

Shen Ziche didn't hear Qian Duoduo's words clearly, and he clenched his hands in a conflicted manner.

On the one hand, they had arranged to have dinner today; on the other hand, it should be Xiao Huan's time in Kyoto, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to go alone.

Just as Shen Ziche was struggling with how to bring it up with Qian Duoduo, Qian Duoduo suddenly pointed outside and said, "Ache, look, there are sugar figurines."

Qian Duoduo secretly lifted a corner of the carriage and looked outside. Seeing that there were people selling sugar figurines, she couldn't help but share it with Shen Ziche.

She remembered Shen Ziche telling her that when they were little, what they looked forward to most was their mother coming home to bring them candy figurines.

As Qian Duoduo spoke, she was about to get up and buy one for Shen Ziche.

Shen Ziche pulled Qian Duoduo back, "No need."

Qian Duoduo straightened her face and said, "No, when we go out to play, we should have fun. Listen to me today."

After saying that, Qian Duoduo jumped off the carriage and ran to the sugar figurine vendor.

"I want a sugar figurine, hmm... I'll sculpt a scholar, something good-looking."

"Okay!"

The vendor picks up the candy and begins making it.

Shen Ziche could vaguely see Qian Duoduo negotiating with the vendor through the window, and a sweet feeling welled up in his heart.

When Qian Duoduo returned to the carriage with the sugar figurine, she handed it to Shen Ziche.

"Here, this is yours."

He then picked up the rabbit he had casually bought from the stall and started eating it.

Shen Ziche stared blankly at the sugar figurine in his hand; it had been a long time since he had eaten one.

It seems like ever since my mother passed away...

Qian Duoduo looked at Shen Ziche in a daze, then gently nudged him with her shoulder, "Eat quickly."

If it weren't for the long talk Shen Ziche had with her last night, during which she told him about modern life and asked him to tell her some things about himself, she wouldn't know these things.

These past few days, she's been looking for sugar figurines whenever she goes out, but unfortunately, she hasn't seen any in the past few days.

I was just trying my luck this time, and I thought I'd just lift the curtain to take a look, but I didn't expect there would actually be one.

Shen Ziche looked at the sugar figurine that resembled him so much, and felt a mix of emotions.

He slowly put it in his mouth; it was sweet, and the taste flowed all the way to the bottom of his heart.
