Gao Qingqing's eyebrows shot up when she heard this, and she grabbed a handful of the soft flesh around his waist, gritting her teeth:
"Li Xuanli, what do you mean by that? Are you saying I can't have children?"
Li Xuanli was taken aback, immediately realizing his slip of the tongue, and didn't dare to resist with his power, pleading continuously:
"Madam, I was wrong—it was a slip of the tongue, a pure slip of the tongue."
"I think you've just spoken your true thoughts!"
"Madam, how could you say that? I could never get enough of my own children. To me, those three are outstanding, incomparable to anyone!"
"Hmph!"
