Her lips curled into a sneer, "So you're strutting around with the Gu Family's seed, now taking pride in it, swaggering in front of me. You say I'm scared, what could I possibly be scared of?"
"Scared that your child will make you powerful? Scared that you'll outshine me? What era do you think we're living in? You're still into this old-fashioned nonsense."
Xu Huanyan's face began to distort under his mockery.
"Xu Ningxi, you're just jealous, what reason do you have to talk like this? You're just sour because you can't eat the grapes. Are you not trying to gain status through your child? But you don't have one, do you?"
"I know, you dream day and night about entering the Fu Family's doors, but you've never been able to. You can't have a child like I do, and now you must be especially jealous of me, particularly envious."
Xu Ningxi just laughed directly.
