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

Chapter 136 He was determined to have Li Mo'er.

No one enjoyed the meal, except for the Fifth Prince.

He was still observing Li Mo'er and noticed that she was very intimate with the strange man next to her.

He turned to look at Chu Xiaohuan with a puzzled expression. Could it be that this Chu guy is in love with a woman who is already married?

When the Fifth Prince’s gaze returned to Li Mo’er, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the man seemed to be hostile towards him.

Li Mo'er sensed the oppressive atmosphere at the dining table, but she was unwilling to waste such a delicious meal.

These were all made by chefs from Kyoto; they can't compare to anything from Los Angeles.

That piece of meat had already won over her taste buds.

While observing the Fifth Prince and Chu Xiaohuan, she took advantage of the moment when the pressure around her was low to pick up some meat.

She could choose not to eat, but Shen Zicen couldn't; he hadn't touched his chopsticks much all day.

When Li Mo'er put the meat into Shen Zicen's bowl, she didn't look up, but she could feel the gaze on her head.

She pretended not to care, but Shen Zicen was a sensitive person. He noticed that both men at the table were eyeing their wives.

He ate the meat angrily, chewing it fiercely, as if venting his frustration.

Li Mo'er had no choice but to secretly hold Shen Zicen's hand as he sat under the table, fearing that Shen Zicen would cause trouble.

Shen Zicen felt Li Mo'er's hand and his eyes widened instantly as he stared at her in disbelief.

Li Mo'er nodded to him, indicating that he should eat more and not worry about these things.

Why didn't you serve him food? Of course, it's because Li Mo'er uses her right hand to hold chopsticks; she really doesn't know how to use her left hand.

Seeing that Shen Zicen was still in a daze, and that everyone's eyes were on her, she quietly tickled his palm with her finger to signal him to come back to his senses.

Shen Zicen felt ticklish from the tickling, so he held Li Mo'er's hand tightly to keep her from moving and intertwined their fingers.

Li Mo'er leaned forward, stopped not far from his ear, and whispered.

"Eat first, and I'll explain when we get back, okay?"

Although Li Mo'er's voice was very soft, how could it not be heard in such a quiet room?

Shen Zicen's face flushed red instantly. Wang Cheng lowered his head, wanting to cough, but he was afraid that coughing would embarrass Li Mei, so he could only try his best to hold it in.

Seeing the two of them together, Chu Xiaohuan's eyes were filled with envy. He thought to himself, "If only I were that man."

When the Fifth Prince heard Li Mo'er's words, his eyes were filled with disbelief. It was the first time he had ever seen a woman coax a man; they were always the ones bossing their husbands around.

Even in the royal family, the Empress would not coax her husband like this; at most, she would give him some jewelry.

He observed Li Mo'er carefully and realized she was indeed an extraordinary woman, very caring towards those around her.

I noticed that she hadn't eaten since the beginning, and I also noticed that the man's left hand hadn't been raised.

He seemed to know something, and pretended to bend down, and sure enough, he saw their hands clasped together.

Shen Zicen noticed that the Fifth Prince was bending over and was worried that he would see it. He tried to pull his hand back, but Li Mo'er held it down and he couldn't break free.

"You are my lawfully wedded husband, what are you afraid of?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zicen immediately straightened his back. Yes, he was now Mo'er's husband; it was just a matter of holding hands.

The two men opposite him were so powerful and outstanding that he felt a slight sense of inferiority.

But not anymore. He's a man of status now, and Mo'er is there to back him up.

Chu Xiaohuan lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing his sadness, and buried his head in his food, offering no response.

The Fifth Prince, on the other hand, spent the entire meal praising and acknowledging Li Mo'er.

He now understood why Chu Xiaohuan liked her.

After seeing Li Mo'er and the other person off, the Fifth Prince put his arm around Chu Xiaohuan, who was about to leave.

"I want her."

Chu Xiaohuan gave a wry smile, "Whatever."

The Fifth Prince twirled his thumb ring. "Human relationships."

Chu Xiaohuan immediately raised his head and glared at the Fifth Prince. He took out the jade pendant that Li Mo'er had just returned to him from his bosom and handed it to him.

"Consider my jade pendant as a way of repaying a favor."

The Fifth Prince naturally knew the importance of this jade pendant to him.

But now he no longer simply wants to compete with Chu Xiaohuan; he is genuinely interested in Li Mo'er.

"I want her to be my wife."

Chu Xiaohuan's eyes were bloodshot as he uttered three words in a low voice, "Impossible."

He knew that as a prince, she could not marry a concubine, and given her character, she would never divorce her husbands.

The Fifth Prince ignored Chu Xiaohuan, who was still immersed in sorrow, and strode out with a flick of his sleeve.

He was determined to have Li Mo'er.
