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

Chapter 164 Let's keep a little distance.

Li Mo'er paused slightly and looked at Chu Xiaohuan at the door of the room.

She didn't know why Chu Xiaohuan was there, and assumed it was just a coincidence.

After all, she had heard from Sister Wang that Chu Xiaohuan had been boating on the lake recently, so she assumed that he simply liked him.

"coincidence."

Li Mo'er smiled awkwardly.

Chu Xiaohuan looked at Li Mo'er's stiff expression, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. He took a slight step back to maintain his distance.

Li Mo'er followed Chu Xiaohuan into the room. Looking at the interior decoration, her pupils widened slightly, filled with envy.

Inside, there was a fluffy blanket, and on the table were delicate snacks and tea. Through the curtains, you could vaguely see the bed behind.

Knowing it was impolite, Li Mo'er immediately looked away and focused her gaze on the table.

Chu Xiaohuan thought Li Mo'er was a little hungry, so he pushed the snacks toward her.

"Have a taste."

Li Mo'er gently picked up a petal-shaped pastry, put it to her lips, and could still smell a faint fragrance.

The pastries melted in her mouth, soft, sweet, and fragrant. Li Mo'er closed her eyes in enjoyment.

A hint of pleasure flashed across Chu Xiaohuan's face; he was glad he had prepared these pastries.

Li Mo'er opened her eyes and looked at Chu Xiaohuan, who was staring blankly at her, unsure of how to react.

This time, she saw the deep affection in Chu Xiaohuan's eyes. She paused, took a slight step back, and made no further moves.

Chu Xiaohuan was unaware of Li Mo'er's sudden aloofness; he was only looking at the pastry stuck to the corner of Li Mo'er's mouth.

Chu Xiaohuan reached out and gently wiped the pastry from the corner of her mouth.

Li Mo'er blushed slightly at Chu Xiaohuan's sudden action.

Chu Xiaohuan only realized what was happening when he felt Li Mo'er's warmth through his fingers.

He withdrew his hand, bewildered; he had simply acted somewhat involuntarily.

He gently rubbed his fingers together, feeling the lingering warmth, which seemed to still carry Mo'er's unique fragrance.

Chu Xiaohuan took a deep breath, intending to confess his feelings to Li Mo'er.

"I……"

"I……"

Unexpectedly, the two spoke at the same time, but one was about to confess his feelings, while the other was about to reject him.

Hearing the voice and seeing Li Mo'er's slightly flushed face, Chu Xiaohuan naturally assumed that she also wanted to tell him that she liked him.

She lowered her head, concealing the joy in her eyes, and said, "You go first."

Li Mo'er didn't hesitate and blurted it out.

"Let's keep some distance."

boom---

Chu Xiaohuan's mind went blank for a moment. Had Mo'er rejected him? But he hadn't even expressed his feelings yet.

Chu Xiaohuan clenched his fists under the table, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his voice.

"Is there something wrong with me?"

The once arrogant Chu Xiaohuan is now so cautious and insecure when it comes to relationships.

Li Mo'er had just picked up her teacup, wanting to take a sip of water to calm her nervousness.

Because, the instant she finished speaking, she felt a cold wind behind her. Although it was fleeting, she still wanted to drink some hot tea to warm herself up.

"Cough cough..."

Before she could even swallow the tea in her mouth, Li Mo'er choked on it.

Once she calmed down, she quickly explained.

"No, it's because I'm not good enough."

That's so perfunctory.

Chu Xiaohuan frowned, as if it were just an excuse, and the air around him seemed to freeze.

Li Mo'er noticed the change in the atmosphere around Chu Xiaohuan and realized that the coldness she had just felt might have come from him.

Just as she was about to explain, she saw Chu Xiaohuan raise his head and look outside.

"We've arrived. Let's go out and take a look."
