Chapter 10 That Feels Really Good

As soon as Zhao Xian finished speaking, she noticed the man in front of her staring at her dumbfounded, clearly quite startled.

Seriously, she just said she’d accompany him back home. Was it really necessary for him to look at her in such an exaggerated way.

“…” Zhao Xian raised an eyebrow. This man was quite interesting. Unconsciously, she leaned closer to him. “What’s your name?” In the book, her husband was only briefly mentioned, and his name wasn’t even mentioned.

The man in azure was stunned and instinctively taking a step back, feeling like the woman in front of him was too imposing, making it hard for him to breathe.

“Gu Tingshu, my name…” He felt his face was burning.

Zhao Xian looked at the small stone on the ground behind him. If he stepped on it, he would definitely trip.

“Don’t step back, you might fall if you do.” Zhao Xian reached out and gently pulled his hand, causing the man in front of her to fall into her arms.

She couldn’t help but marvel at the strength of women in this female-dominated world. No wonder modern men like to push women against the wall or pull them into their arms for no reason—it’s definitely a display of power advantage. Why does it feel so fulfilling?

The close distance made Gu Tingshu blush instantly. His hand unconsciously rested on her chest.

Then…

It felt soft and comfortable. The sensation was really nice. Just as he realized this, he quickly moved away as if he had been scalded.

Zhao Xian also froze for a moment. Was she just molested by a man?

Well, she wasn’t the one at a disadvantage here, so she remained calm!

“You… you…” Gu Tingshu stuttered, never expecting that today would lead to such an unimaginable outcome.

Looking at the man she inadvertently pulled into her embrace, Zhao Xian pondered for a moment. She understood very well that if she were to push him away now, claiming it was just an accidental, it would definitely hurt his self-esteem.

Moreover, this man was her husband in name now. Perhaps what seemed like a harmless gesture to her might be interpreted differently by a man in this female-dominated world.

Since she already pulled him into her arms, she can only go along with it for now, right?

Secretly maintaining a bit of distance from the other party, not being too intimate, seemed awkward without pushing him away.

“Isn’t it lunchtime? Let’s eat together.” Clearing her throat, Zhao Xian took his hand and said, “Let’s have lunch in your courtyard today!”

Since this man was now her husband in name, she couldn’t mistreat him.

As for the future, she would take it one step at a time.

In this female-dominated world, if the relationship between the master and the husband was harmonious, naturally, the husband would take charge of meals, and meal times would be in the husband’s courtyard. Of course, if a woman had multiple husbands and attendants, it would depend on who the woman favored the most.

This was a matter of status within the household. Although she didn’t care much about it, she couldn’t help but speak in such a manner after looking at this man.

This female-dominated world, perhaps, wasn’t so bad after all. Her strong personality had always seemed out of place in her original world.

Now she feels more comfortable.

In this female-dominated world, meals were rarely eaten in the main hall.

Of course, if there were many family members, they would gather for a meal once or twice a month. And if there were guests, they would dine in the main hall, but usually, it wasn’t used.

Gu Tingshu was ignored for a month, thinking that he was dispensable. He didn’t expect things to turn out like this, and for a moment, felt both honored and surprised.

Shocked!

The Prime Minister wants to have lunch with him? He couldn’t help but scrutinize this woman, wondering if she was still asleep or if there was something wrong with her head.

Or maybe she was dissatisfied with court affairs. What exactly was she up to?
