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

Chapter 149 General Chu is better than him

However, Shen Zicen didn't ask. He only knew that this was the first time he had eaten food cooked by Mo'er.

"Mo'er, how did you get out?"

Shen Zicen was so curious that he had already decided that if he didn't see Mo'er today, he would storm into the palace.

A hint of confusion flashed in Li Mo'er's eyes, then she shook her head. "Perhaps the Fifth Prince has come to his senses."

It's estimated that if the Fifth Prince doesn't give in, she probably won't be able to leave.

"Does Mo'er not like the Fifth Prince?"

As Shen Zicen ate his noodles, he began to probe Li Mo'er's attitude. He couldn't understand why Mo'er wouldn't agree to marry the Fifth Prince.

"He's good-looking, talented, has great charisma, and most importantly, he's rich."

Li Mo'er looked at Shen Zicen's curious eyes as he listed a series of advantages.

Li Mo'er nodded in agreement and repeated the sentence on her fingers.

“He is indeed handsome, rich, talented, and has a great presence,” she said, pausing for a long time before glancing at Shen Zicen.

Li Mo'er's words surprised Shen Zicen, who didn't even chew the noodles in his mouth.

He thought Mo'er would say, "Then I don't like him either," but he didn't expect that Mo'er would also see the Fifth Prince's good points.

"Moreover, if I marry him, I will be the emperor's son-in-law and I can get an official position."

This time, Shen Zicen stopped completely and even put the bowl on the table next to her.

He angrily turned his head away, refusing to look at Li Mo'er.

Li Mo'er watched his actions with amusement. He was the one who started the conversation, praising the Fifth Prince in this way and that way, and in the end, he even made herself angry.

"Then why don't you marry him?"

Shen Zicen's thinking was simple: he just wanted the Fifth Prince to marry into the family so he would have another husband.

Li Mo'er peeked out and looked deeply into Shen Zicen's eyes.

"I won't marry because I don't like them. I have enough of you all."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zicen couldn't help but smile. He knew that Mo'er was the best to them.

Li Mo'er looked at Shen Zicen's upturned and then suppressed smile, and affectionately patted his head.

"If I wanted to marry Wu..."

Before Li Mo'er could finish speaking, Shen Zicen glared at her.

"Even if I were to marry, it couldn't be the Fifth Prince. General Chu is better than him."

Shen Zicen mumbled the last sentence very softly, and Li Mo'er didn't hear it.

"Of course I won't marry them. I can't bear to divorce you all."

Li Mo'er gently pinched Shen Zicen's nose, and Shen Zicen's eyes widened.

Divorced?

Only then did he realize that marrying the Fifth Prince meant that Mo'er would no longer belong to them.

If he had known this earlier, he might have been even more anxious these past few days.

"Does General Chu know about this?"

Li Mo'er didn't react for a moment, "What is it?"

"Rest, rest..."

Shen Zicen didn't say it aloud either time. He couldn't imagine how they would live without Mo'er.

Li Mo'er nodded. "Of course he knows. Even if he's a general, he can only be the legal husband no matter who he marries."

Shen Zicen imagined Chu Xiaohuan sitting in the seat of honor, with her and her brother taking turns serving him tea and paying their respects to him every day...

He decisively shook his head, banishing the idea that General Chu was still acceptable from his mind.

Chu Xiaohuan clenched his fists outside the door. He hadn't been eavesdropping on purpose; he had just come to call them for dinner and happened to overhear their conversation.

At first, he was worried that the two were arguing, and thought he would turn around and leave, and then try to make them reconcile after they calmed down.

Unexpectedly, just as I was about to leave, I overheard them discussing me.

When he heard Mo'er say that she wanted to be the legal husband no matter what, he really wanted to rush in and tell her that he didn't care, as long as it was her.

Chu Xiaohuan didn't listen anymore, but turned and left dejectedly. Perhaps he and Mo'er were not from the same world.
