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

Chapter 135 This is her first piece of flesh

However, unlike Li Mo'er, whose eyes were filled with shock and confusion, Shen Zicen's eyes were filled with anger.

This trip was definitely worthwhile; someone actually dared to have designs on Mo'er.

Shen Zicen was so angry that he couldn't speak. He slammed down on the stool. He and Li Mo'er had both stood up because they were too shocked.

He was so angry that he sat too hard and his buttocks were starting to hurt, but he forced himself not to frown; he couldn't afford to lose face.

Li Mo'er felt pain just from the sound, but when she looked at Shen Zicen's face, everything seemed normal, leading her to believe that the sound was just her imagination.

She took out the jade pendant from her bosom and quickly pushed it in front of Chu Xiaohuan.

“Young Master Chu, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know this was a token of our love, and I accepted it without knowing. Now I’m returning it to its rightful owner.”

Chu Xiaohuan lowered his head and said nothing, but took the jade pendant on the table and stroked it in his hand. It still had Li Mo'er's body temperature on it.

He just said it casually, but he didn't expect Li Mo'er to react so strongly.

He lowered his head and gave a bitter smile, then suppressed the bitterness in his heart and calmly looked up.

"This is just my way of repaying you."

His implication was that this didn't count as a token of love for her.

But Li Mo'er dared not accept any more; her arm was turning blue.

Shen Zicen was glaring angrily at Chu Xiaohuan, his grip on Li Mo'er's hands tightening unconsciously.

"If Young Master Chu wishes to repay me, then sign this contract. We will regularly deliver fine salt to Yingkelou, whether from the capital or elsewhere..."

Li Mo'er kept babbling on and on, but Chu Xiaohuan was no longer listening.

He simply asked Wang Cheng to prepare the writing materials and then signed the contract.

Wang Cheng stood aside, watching anxiously. She wanted to express her employer's feelings to Li Mei on behalf of her.

Li Mo'er may not have seen Chu Xiaohuan's sadness just now, but Wang Cheng, who was standing behind Chu Xiaohuan, saw it clearly.

Looking at the hostile Shen Zicen across from her, she realized that Li Mo'er's husbands were all formidable, and she had to come up with a solution.

Rather than...

Before even leaving the room, Wang Cheng had an idea: since the boss couldn't handle it alone, he would use another force to spread the firepower.

When she went to fetch writing materials for Chu Xiaohuan, she instructed people to spread the news in front of the Fifth Prince's residence.

"What? That guy surnamed Chu actually went to see his future wife behind my back."

The thought that he had hired so many people to cover for him made me furious.

But he forgot that those cover stories were all arranged by him for Chu Xiaohuan.

At the dining table, Li Mo'er felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She could only lower her head and eat her rice silently, not daring to pick up any vegetables.

Suddenly, a piece of meat appeared in the bowl. She excitedly reached for her mouth, but then realized what was happening and quickly looked at Chu Xiaohuan and then at Shen Zicen.

Finding nothing amiss with them, I felt relieved, but who put the meat in their hand?

Surely it couldn't have just appeared out of thin air? At that moment, her gaze met Wang Cheng's in the corner, and Wang Cheng raised an eyebrow at her.

Li Mo'er understood and ate the meat with peace of mind. After eating rice for so long, she could finally have a bite of meat.

Before she could even swallow the meat in her mouth, she quickly gestured to Wang Cheng with her eyes to continue serving her.

Wang Cheng regretted it a little; she shouldn't have been so soft-hearted, because she didn't dare to act rashly.

She finally managed to pick up a piece of meat and gave it back to Li Mo'er, leaving herself only able to eat the vegetables closest to her, which made her face turn green.

"Okay, you..."

The Fifth Prince rushed over as soon as he received the news. He didn't even need to ask the innkeeper; he knew that Chu Xiaohuan's reception staff always stayed in this room.

The Fifth Prince looked at Li Mo'er, who was closest to him, and his handsome brows furrowed slightly. How could the Chu family possibly be interested in her with her slender figure?

And she was eating meat with her mouth; it's likely that all the meat on the table ended up in her mouth.

If Li Mo'er knew what he was thinking, she would definitely cry out that she was wronged, because this was her first piece of flesh.

The Fifth Prince didn't need an invitation; he simply sat down next to the others and began eating as if no one else was there.

Shen Zicen had been observing him ever since he entered the room. He was dressed in an elegant manner, had an outstanding temperament, and exuded a royal pride.

Seeing this meal, the Fifth Prince's eyes kept lingering on Li Mo'er. He was unhappy, and the injury on his buttocks hurt even more.
