"Zijin, I..." Xiaoling hesitated, stumbling over her words.
"What? You're unwilling?" Xu Zijin raised an eyebrow, his gaze cold as he stared at her.
"Is this the attitude you bring when you want to marry into the Xu Family? You can't even comply with what I say, and you think it's that easy to sweet-talk my parents into handing over their wealth?"
"I didn't mean it like that..." Xiaoling defended herself.
Whether she meant it or not, both of them knew the truth; they were just too disdainful to expose it.
"Then let's just go. Even though you're pregnant, don't for a second think you're already the young mistress of the Xu Family. There's still a long road ahead, and if you don't follow my instructions, I have plenty of ways to make the Xu Family disown this child. If you're fine with being a single mother without receiving a cent from us, go ahead and test me."
Xu Zijin smirked coldly, the ridicule in his gaze making every member of the Ling Family blush with humiliation.
