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

Chapter 272 Don't open the door today

At this moment, Niannian was looking at the gate, feeling a surge of pride as she thought about how she had helped Father Acen drive away the bad woman.

Wait, it seems she forgot something.

That bowl of porridge!

Before leaving, Niannian instructed the gatekeeper not to open the door today, no matter who came. After saying that, she went to deal with the remaining mess.

She rushed to the kitchen and saw a bowl on the stove.

After careful analysis, Niannian concluded that the woman must have secretly filled another bowl when she wasn't looking, intending to send it to Father Acen.

So, the little girl held the bowl and saw that there was still more than half left inside.

"How stingy, you didn't even fill Father A-Cen's bowl."

Niannian pouted and complained softly.

There was still some porridge in the pot, but she couldn't lift the big pot, so she decided to use a bowl to carry the porridge out and dispose of it herself, trip by trip.

As Niannian carried her bowl to the kitchen door, she saw Shen Zicen also rushing over.

Without thinking twice, she slipped away to the backyard.

She was originally going to the backyard where she fed the chicks, and she wanted to give the porridge to them.

Niannian slowed down after walking around the corner and looked down to see that some porridge had spilled because of her large movements.

She glanced at it indifferently, and only after she had all fallen did she tidy herself up.

To prevent the porridge in the bowl from spilling again, she walked very carefully, and very slowly.

Niannian's eyes were fixed on the porridge in the bowl when she accidentally stepped on a small pebble, which startled her.

After much deliberation, she bravely faced her execution and drank a large mouthful of porridge from the bowl.

She's so clever; that way the porridge won't spill.

So she took the bowl and went straight to the chicks.

"Little chick, cluck cluck cluck, time to eat!"

Niannian poured a spoonful into the chicks' bowl and found the chicks flapping their wings and frantically grabbing for it.

Niannian was a little doubtful, "Is it really that delicious?"

She didn't pay any attention to what it tasted like when she drank it.

She couldn't believe the porridge would taste good, so she poured some more into the chick's bowl.

The chicks were all chirping and frantically grabbing at it.

Curious, Nian Nian, influenced by the chicks, reluctantly took a small bite.

She pursed her lips, her eyes lit up, and then, contradicting her true feelings, accused the chick.

"It's just average. Don't you guys usually eat well? Why are you fighting over this little bit of porridge?"

The chicks were all engrossed in eating, and not one of them looked up at her.

After the chicks finished eating, they started circling around Niannian, wanting the porridge in her bowl.

Niannian placed the bowl on top of their rice bowls, intending to pour them some more.

Suddenly, her tongue recalled the taste she had just experienced, and she turned the bowl around halfway through.

"You've already eaten breakfast, so let me eat for you."

As she spoke, she finished her porridge amidst a chorus of "squeaks."

“Niannian is a good child, we can’t waste it, it’s definitely not because the porridge tastes good.”

Niannian took the empty bowl and went back, leaving a group of chicks looking at each other in bewilderment.

When Shen Zicen arrived at the kitchen, she found that the bowl she had placed on the stove was gone.

He searched the entire kitchen but couldn't find his bowl.

Did the cook take it away?

The porridge in the pot...

Shen Zicen hurriedly lifted the lid and found that there was still some porridge inside.

He patted his chest; thankfully, there were still some left.

So he took another bowl and ladled out the rest of the porridge.

He needed to confirm whether Duoduo had indeed returned.

However, just as he put the bowl to his lips, he saw a figure rushing in through the door.

When Niannian saw Shen Zicen standing in the kitchen, she panicked and quickly hid the bowl behind her back.

"Father A-Cen, are you hungry?"

Seeing the guilty look in Niannian's eyes and noticing her sneaky act of hiding the bowl, Shen Zicen guessed that she had taken the porridge away.

Shen Zicen didn't say anything, just stared at her.

Niannian's heart pounded. In her haste to get back, she had forgotten that her father, A-Cen, was still in the kitchen.

She felt uneasy under Shen Zicen's gaze, her eyes involuntarily shifting to the ground, her toes nervously crossed.

"Where did you go?"

Shen Zicen saw her lower her head before he spoke.

"I'm going to feed the chicks."

The sound of her murmuring was soft.

"then you……"

Before Shen Zicen could finish asking, Niannian quickly said, "Daddy Acen, I'm going to practice my skills."

After saying that, Niannian disappeared.

Shen Zicen looked at the energetic Nian Nian, smiled indulgently, and was about to lower his head to drink his porridge.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a small shadow at the kitchen doorway, which quickly disappeared.

Shen Zicen walked out the door, saw the bowl on the ground, and sighed helplessly, thinking of that small shadow.

The porridge tasted just like Duoduo used to. Although he hadn't had it in a long time, it still tasted like he remembered it. His taste buds wouldn't lie to him.

That's so much...

So, that was Duoduo last night. She's back. It's her.

By the time Shen Zicen finished his porridge, tears were streaming down his face.

He wiped away his tears, intending to find Duo Duo and ask her the truth, but first he needed to find Niannian and ask where Duo Duo had gone.

Shen Zicen put down the bowl and went to the courtyard to beckon to the absent-minded Nian Nian.

Niannian slowly moved in front of Shen Zicen and called out in a tiny, almost inaudible voice, "Daddy Zicen~"

"Where's your mother?"

"she is not……"

Niannian stubbornly looked up, intending to argue with Shen Zicen, but when she saw that Shen Zicen's eyes were already red, she lowered her head again.

She pointed to the doorway, "She..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Zicen rushed over.

"Open the door."

“Well, Mr. Shen, Miss said the door is not allowed to be opened today.”
