"My lady, people of our family background would not do such a thing in such a solemn occasion. Do you have the courage to hold it but not the courage to let others touch it?"
A lady in a pink corset dress sneered and rolled her eyes as she spoke.
Lan Xi glanced at her, and the latter thought she had said something wrong, so she lowered her head and took a step back, feeling worried that the cooperation was going to fall through.
Slowly leaning back, Lan Xi looked at her belly, which hadn't even shown yet, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Your unborn child is more than twenty years younger than me. What kind of threat do you think he can pose to me?"

"Don't beg me! My Lan family doesn't exist to entertain people. What will others say about me if you do this?" Lan Xi looked at the girl whose legs were so weak that she couldn't stand, and spoke in a threatening voice.
The people around him all laughed and expressed their loyalty: "Miss Lan, what are you talking about? Every family has their share of trivial matters. We still know the rules!"
Lan Xi released her hand and looked at everyone: "Then... thank you all!"
